BERLIN, June 2.-No sooner has Emperor
Frederick seemed assured of some prolonga-
tion of his life than the influences hostile to
Prince Bismarck displayed renewed activity
The conflict between the liberal tendencies
of the Emperor and the chancellor's policy,
which has been latent from the outset
of the reign, now threatens to end in open
rupture. The Emperor is still too feeble to
be credited with the exercise of unbiased
Judgment. He is swayed by the opinion of
the Empress, who has resumed in the COM
parative seclusion of Potsdam the active
domination she secured during the illness of
the Emperor at San Reno. Prince Bis
marck had warning of coming troubles last
week III a communication from the Em-
peror, blaming Minister Won Pultkamer for
abusing the government influence at an
election. Herr Won Pulkamor offered to
resign.
BISMARCK RUsHEs BACK.
Prince Bismarck hastened to return from
Varseln. In two prolonged interviews he
found the Emperor desrous of reconstruct
ing the Ministry, including the household
appointments. He also found him opposed
to giving his assent to the Quin-
quennial Landtag bill. After the first
interview, he consulted with Herr
Friedborg, Minister of Justice, who is now
trusted by both himself and the Empress
Under the advice of Herr Friedborg the
Emperor signed the bill, at the same time
advising Prince Bismarck that he hoped
that this concession would be followed by
reforms in the ministry. The letter of the
Emperor to Minister Won Pultkamer re-
peated his complaint to Prince Bismarck.
Herr Won Pultkamer has replied to the letter
by detailing his administration of the Inte-
rior Department. Meantime the quin-
quennial law, which ought 20 have been
published in the ReichStongeiger, was with
held from PRONUNCIATION by order of the
Emperor, who desired that the law should
not appear unless accompanied by his letter
to Herr Won Pultkamer on the freedom of
the right to vote.
APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN SETTLED.
When Prince Bismarck left the Emperor
after the last conference on Thursday the
crisis appeared to have been settled. The
ministry was to remain intact and the
quinquennial law was to be promulgated
Monday. To-day it transpired that PRINCE
Bismarck had been consulting his colleagues
on the order of the Emperor for the post
ponement of the publication ef the law 1t
was reported that the Emperor had gone so
far as to cancel his signature. The report
is unconfrmed, but the ministerial circle
fear he worst The Progressists rejoice at
the prospect of the advent of Fliberal
regime
The TdgbIdtt in an article on the crisis,
declares that the people will gladly well
come a government by the Hohenzollerns,
but not of Herr Pultkamer, nor even Prince
Bismarck, however great his genius.
Besides Herr Won Pultkamer, Gen. Won
Schelendorf has offered to retire, exchanging
the War Office for the command of an army
corps The crisis mas not reached the crisis
of the resignation of the ministry, and until
Prince Bismarck has again consulted the
Emperor the issue of the conflict is doubt
full, but the situation is grave enough to
cause profound uneasiness.
FREDERICK NOT so WELL.
Owing, probably, to combination with
Yesterdays fatlgues the Emperor became
worse to-day. His fever reappeared, the
discharge of pus became copious, and the
general exhaustion greater. BE was able
TO go out this forenoon, but this evening
the doctors forbade his going into the park,
seeing that he was greatly fatigued and the
wind being high. The Emperor's rooms are
arranged on the ground floor Of the castle.
His bedroom is in the center. On the right
are rooms for the physicians consultation,
and in the rear are others for the occupancy
of the resident doctors. An unceasing watch
Is still maintained.
THE PASSPORT REGULATIONS.
The passport regulations on the frontier
are already becoming relaxed. The French
papers publish mendacious reports Of the
rigorous application of the regulations, and
relate imaginary episodes of travellers who
they say have been insulted and turned
back by the German commissary. The fact
is, instructions have been sent TO the
frontier to exercise the regulations with
moderation and to permit for some time to
come, at the discretion of the officials, the
free entry Of travellers pleading ignorance
of the edict.
To-day's Strasburg Gazette further an
nouuces that passengers by the eastern ex-
press having through tickets from Paris to
the interior of Germany, will be released
ports, provided they do not leave the train
within Alsace- Lorraine territory.
WHAT THE EMBASSY REPORTS.
The Paris embassy reports to the Foreign
Office that $50 passports were issued yester-
day and Thursday. A number of these
were for Englishmen and Ameri-
cans, and were remitted by
the applicants without delay, as
was also the case with Frenchmen who
affirmed that they only intended to pass
through Alsace-Lorraine. The execution
of the regulations proved that the govern
ment's sole object is TO keep out Of Alsace-
Lorraine that class of travellers who ferment
agitation for reunion of the province to
France NJ. Goblet's speech in reply to
Premier Won Tisza's statement has been
badly received in the Berlin and Vienna
foreign offices. If NJ. Goblet had confined
himself to diplomatic statements Herr Won
Tisza would have replied TO Herr Appory's
Of the lower house Of the
Hungarian diet to-day with fuller assur-
ances of friendliness.
CURT REMUNERATION.
NJ. Goblets Jhrusts at Hungary, and his
allusion to the German frontier measures,
decided the Austro- Hungarian Minister to
curtly reafiirm their peaceful intentions
toward France.
The North German Gazette approves the
attitude Of Premier Won Tisza.
The Post semI-officially reminds the
French government of incidents justifying
foreigners in their distrust of the power of
the government to protect them against the
popnlace, and asks Ibid the empire pre-
