BERLIN, April 12.-Jmmediatcly upon
his return from Wisbaden, Emperor
William will hold series of prolonged
conferences with the heads Of various de-
partments, Chancellor Won Caprivi, Baron
Won Berlepsch and Baron Won Biebernte
successfully. II IL reported to he the de-
termination of the emperor to exercise a
rigid personal scrutiny over every meas
ure. Besides overlooking himself with
work he In the meantime threatens to par
alyze ministerial work. None Of the bills
based on the decisions of the labor con-
ference and prepared by Berlespsch have
yet received final imperial sanction.
Assent Of the Bunderath to the measures
is doubtful. The federal government do
not share the emperor's eager haste
for reform. The prospect is, there
fore, that when the emperor opens the
reichstag in q speech from the throne,
announcing labor measures he will speak
without the quality Of definiteness which
characterized the announcements OF the
Bismarck regime. Beyond the pregnant
fact that the reichstag will he asked to
grant a military credit of probably s0,0O0,-
600 marks. nothing is known of the gov
ernment's programme. The progressist
press indulges In visions OF change in
the tariff policy, reduction OF duties on
cereals and progressive notifications OF
customs SO as to abolish taxation on arti-
cles that are absolutely necessary for the
eous adoption of tariffs so as to
develop the industries Of the coun-
try. II is not believed in official
circles that the emperor will be rash
enough TO entanRle himself In the difficult
ties entailed by revision OF the tariffs

the whole financial and fiscal system OF
the empire. Already leading federal
princes of the empire are incredulous OF
the emperor's capacity and scared at his
methods of governing and are trying TO
tone down his self-confidence. Ii is an
open secret that the governments o1i 1
Barand, Wurtemburg and Saxony will
not cooperate in the emperor's measures
unless he consults them more on the gen.
eral lines of his policy. One OF the
chief features of the moment Is disunion
among the friesinnige party since the
friesinnige manner OF the land tag was

as dictatorial and irelastic in the face OF
the expected coalition with the conserva.

The police have been given a warning
that they must not tolerate stree

The Post announced that the military
bill will provide for large increase i'm ths

will abide by his strong foreign policy.

Grand Duke Vladimir, the Cars brother

representatives of the nobility elected b.
