TROUBLE BREWING.

perOr Ffe0erlck seemeu assured OI sOme
prolonga ion of his life thsn Influences
hostile to Prince Bismarck displayed re-
newed activity. The conflict between the
liberal tendencies Of the Emperor and the
Chsnce llor's policy, which has been latent
from the outset Of the reign, now
threatens to end in an open rupture.
TIE Emperor is still too feeble
to be credited with the exercise Of an
biased Judgment. He ia swayed by the
opinion OF the Empress, who has resumed
IN the comparative seclusien OF Rotterdam
the active domination she used during the
illness of the Emperor at San Reno.
Prince Bismarck had warning Of coming
troubles last week In communication
from the Emperor. blaming Minister Won
Putkamer for abusing government irsu-
ence at elections Minister Won Putkamer
offered to resign. Prince Bismarck had
intended to return from Parsing. In
two prolonged interviews he found the
Emperor DESTROYS Of recons.ructilg
the ministry, including household
appointment. He also found him
opposed to giving his assent
20 the quirquennial Landtag bill.
After the first interview the Emperor con-
suited with DR.. Friedberg, Minister OF
Justice, who IS now trusted by both him
self and the Empress. Under the advice
of Dr.. Friedberg the Emperor signed the
bill, st the same time advising Prince
Bismrrk that he hoped this concession
would be followed by reforms in the
ministry. The letter Of the Emperor to
Minister Won Putkamer
REPEATED HIS COMPLAINT
made to Bismarck. Herr Won Putkamer
hiss replied to the letter by detailing the
administration Of the Interior Depsrt-
ment. Meanwhile the quinquennIsl law
which ought TO have been published in
Reichs Al z2iger was withheld from pro-
mitigation by order o; the Emperor who
desired that the law should not appear
unless accompanied by his letter to Herr
Won Putkamer on the freedom Of the
right to vote. 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, ard the quiEquennial law was TO
| be promulgated On Monday. Tc
day it transpired that Prince
Bismarck had been consulting his
colleagues on the order Of the Emperor
| for the postponement of publication of the
law. Il was reported that the Emperor
| had gone SO fsr as to cancel his signature.
The report, however, is uncopfrmed, but
the ministerial circle fears the worst.
Prcgressists rejoice at the prospect CT
the advent Of liberal regime. The Tag
| blast in 81 srticle on the crisis declares
that the people will hail gladly govern
ment hy The Hoherz ollerns, but not by q
Putkamer, not even Bismarck, however
great his genius. Bes des Herr
Won Pdtksmer, General Won Schel
lendorf has ende.vnred to retire,
exchanging the wsr ttflce for the COM
msnd OF an army corps. The crisis has
not yet reached the climax OF the resigna-
ton of the ministry, and until Prince
Bismarck has sgain consulted the En-
peror the issue Of the cor hict is doubtful,
but the situation is grave enough to
cause prof und unessiness.
Owing to anxiety, combined with yes
! terday's fatigue, the Emperor became
worse to-day. His fever resppenred, the
diechsrge CT pus became copious and gen
eral exhaustion greater. He wss able to
60 out this forenoon, but this evening the
doctors forbade his going into the park,
seeing at ne was greatly fstigued,
the wind being high. The Emperor's
roome are arranged on the ground floor
| Of the castle. His bedroom is in the cen
ter. On the right are rooms for physi-
ciaps' consultations, and In the rear are
others for the occupancy Of the resident
doctors.
| FRONTIER REGULATIONS.
An unceasirg watch is maintained.
The passport regulations on the frontier
are sl.eadF becoming relsXed. The
French papers publish mendacious re-
ports Of rigorous applications Of the reg
uiGtions and relate sn imaginary cpl
sode Of a traveller who says he has
been arrested and turned back by
the Germ an ccmmissary. The fact is in
structions have been sent to the frontier
to exercise the regulations with moders-
tor, and permit for some time to coma
at the discretion Of the Cfficisls the entry
soi travellers pleading ignorance Of tire
ftsetfet. The execution of the rsgutstion
proves thst the governments sole cblect
10 70 keep out OF Alsace-LoIrsine that
clsss of travellers who foment agitation
for the reunion Of the provinces to
France.
NJ. Goblet's speech Of reply to Premier
Won Iisza's statement has{been badly re-
ceiyed in both the Berlin and Vienna for
eign Offices.
M Goblet's thrust at Hungary and his
illusions to the Germsn frontier measure
decided the Austro Hungarian mini ters
to CURLY reafirm their peaceful intcn-
tons towards Frsnce.
The North German Gazette approves
the attitude of Premier Won Tiszs.
The Post semi officially reminds France
