BISMARCK AND THE EMPEROR

With reference to the internll .ques
tions, which are now dividing Prince
Bismarck from Emperor William and
some Of the Ministers, u Berlin dispatch
has the following: Bismarck seems to
have overcome the obstacles which have
hitherto hindered the realization OF his
plan Tor the remodelling Of the Cabinet
A rumOr is gaining credit that Herr
Cam phausen, Vice President OF the Coun.
Gil of Ministers and Minister Of Finance,
and DR.. Achenbach, Minister Of Com
merce and Public Works, will resign;
that the latter will be replaced by DR..
Friendenthal, Minister OF Agriculture,
and that Herr Bennington, President Of
the Chamber Of Deputies OF Prussia, will
become the home Minister, and other port
toliOs will be distributed when Prince
Bismarck returns to Berlin. Such 40.

the National Liberal party, who up to
the middle Of last week despaired OF so
hopeful an issue. Tie Conservatives de.

Cabinet previous to the removal OF DR..
Talk, Minister OF Public Instruction and
Ecclesiastical Affairs, aud unless they
had guarantees that all the eccIesiastical
laws Issued since The beginning Of the
ecclesiastical war should be partly abol-
ished and partly remodelled. Prince
Bismarck is now working to remove
some Of the Courtiers Of high rank, whom
he charges with conspiracy against him.
According to the latest news, he has not
been successful, but there are indications
that these Courtiers must this time yield
to the Chancellor.
NEW PARLIAMENT SUMMONED.
LONDON, December l9.-The morning
papers officially announce that Parlia@
nlent will meet January 18th. 1t isstated
that the Cabinet has decided to ask Par
lament 10 vote grant OF money for such
an increase Of the British army az the
present state Of Europe demands.
The Post in its leader foreshadows a
grant Tor military operations, and after
reviewing the rumOrs which have been
current OF late concerning separate ar
raDgement between Russia and Turkey,
says: "ro make Englaads words heard,
to make mediation res espected or inter.
vention effective, il is necessary
to appeal to the representatives OF
the nation for request to support
we cannot entertain the slightest doubt.
Parliament will not only readily accord
whatever moneys are necessary 10 nut
the national strength in condition for
active efficiency, but will heartily endorse
policy in accordance with the true in.
forests Of peace and the noblest traditions
Of the country. 1t is certain that the
Cabinet is united in It's resolve, and with
the opening Of the new year we shall gee
the inception OF clear and national
policy.
The Times deprecates too much impor-
tance being attached to an early sum
moding Of Parliament and points to nu-
meI ous instances in which the cabinets
action has been misinterpreted, even by
its own supporters, as for instance the
sending OF a fleet to BeSsika Bay. II any
previous cabinet had summoned Par
lament this early, the natural
inference would have been that they
were about to demand grant money to
suppcEt the same steps taken by the
Queen on the advice OF her Ministers.
The Times thinks that such conclu-
sion in this case would be far in the ad.
vance OF the truth. The PArliement did
not meet to enforce resolutions that we're
framed by Ministers, but more probably
to spare Ministers the trouble OF framing
resolution. By the time the Parliament
meets the government will be able 10
show that our interests in the same way
are attacked. But, for the present, the
country, however irritated at the Russian
ambition and Servian treason, cannot
believe itself in any danger.
The Daily Naus says that il cannot helr
fearing that Lord Bsacons6eld has su IN
moned Parliament rather to obtain in-
demnity for something actually done thar
to consult it as to future policy.
