TESLEGRAMS. ST CROIX STATION. Berlin, June 4ih.—The Marx Stresse- mann Cabinet, which vesigned oa May 20.h, but continued to carry on current affairs, is back in office. President Eb>:t last night reappointed Wilhelm Marx as Chancellor and confirmed the m :mbers of his Ministry in their posts, In the pariod intervening since the resig- nations of the cabinet it had been found impossible to bring about an alignment of parties so that a new ministry could come into power and the final outcome is a reunion of the German Peoples Party with the C'ericals and Demoerats, en- abling the Marx-Stressemann combina- tion to take office. Rome, June 4th.—The Vatican has learned with regret of M. Herriot’s inten- tion if he becomes head of the French Ministry, to suppress the French Em- bassy to the Holy See. This is an un- ivoked for move so far as the Vatican is concerned and it 18 contended by Vati- can officials that the Embassy is more to the advantage of France than the holy See, as in maintaining good rela- tions with the Papaey, France employs all the Catholic missions in the Near East and Far East for furthering French interests. It lis reealled that the Vati- can obstained from appointing a papal nuncio at Peking on the recommenda- tion of Krance which desired that all Catholie interests in China should be looked after by the French Minister there.

Shenandoah was placed in its hanger shortly after 9 this morning. It was the fourth attempt to land the huge aireraft, thre= others failing because the dirizible had become light through using so much fuel in its flight over New York and Pennsylvania on Tuesday. Y,ondoa® June 4th—The statement made by the Canadian Minlister of Immi- gration in the House of Commonsa few days ago that the Ottawa Government is considering the impossition of furtherre- strietions on Japanese imm gration into Canada, is causing some anxiety in Brit- ain, lest such a move should lead to fur- ther complieations, such as one endang- ering the relations between the United Stztes and Japan. The Times, in an edi- torial this morning, maintains that (he problem of Japanese immigration 1s not more serious to the United States than it it is to the British Empire. In further corament, the Times regrets the deci- sion of the Government net to proceed with the construction of the great naval base at Singapore, in view of the possi- bility of further complications developing in the Pacific.

Refined futures were nomi- nal, London,June 4th -The,Prime Minister, in a statement today in the House of Commons on the Irish negotiations, said the Government had secured a chair- man for the boundary committee and deelared that bhis name would be announ- cod tomorrow. The Government had de- cided, he said, to set up a judical com- mittee to sclve the constitutional legal issues of such a boundary dispute. The committee would include Chief Justice Sir Adrian Knox of Australia and wou'd sit during July. Meantime the Govern- ment has not abandoned the hope that the two Irish Governments may reach a settlement before the committee is cor- stituted. Such bhope has been euncour- aged by conciliatory utterances by Sir James Craig, Premier of Ulster and Pres- ident Cosgrave, President of the Irish Free State. Itis reported in the lobby of the House of Commons this afternoon that the chairman of the Iyish Boundary Committee would be Sir James Rose In nes Chief Justice of the Union of South Africa.
