BERLIN, April 19.-As the Emperor
starts tomorrow upon a flashing tour of
various points of the country, which will
continue until the eve Of the meeting of the
Reichstag, council was held at the Schloss
to-day to consider the Ministerial pro-
gramme
The programme for the Emperor's tour is
as follows: On Monday he goes to Bremen
to lay a foundation stone in memory of his
grandfather. Thence he goes to Bremen
Haven, where he will embark on Tuesday
to meet the squadron under Prince Henry.
On the 23d he goes with Prince Henry to
Altenburg on a woodcock shooting expedi-
ton. On the 25th he will meet the Queen
of England at Darmsdat, thence he will go
to Wartburg shooting with the Grand Duke
of SAKE Weimar, returning here May 1.
His meeting with the Queen will be family
affair. His Majesty will not be accom-
panied on his tour by any of his ministers.
WORKING THE PRESS.
Although the Government officials now
pretend to ignore the press, reliable commu-
nications are obtainable when the Ministers
deem them opportune. In this way tits known
that the Council considered measures rela-
ting to reforms in the educational system, to
the abrogstion of the remaining May laws,
to the strike movements and to the erection
of monuments to the late Emperors William
and Frederick.
Although Minister Won Gossler showed no
Intention during yesterdays debate in the
Landtag TO concede the full demands of the
Catholic clericals, he indicated the desire of
the Government to sweep away the last
traces of the Nav laws. The section of the
Center party not closely adhering to DR..
Windthorst take Herr Won Gossler's assur-
ance as satisfactory and will support the
Government. The leaders of the Center
party-Barons Won Huene and Schorlemer-
Alst-are more ready than is DR.. Wind
thorst to form coalition.
A GOVERNMENTAL MAJORITY.
The old Government groups have already
assumed position leading to a combination
with the Conservatives, Imperialists and the
right wing of the National Liberals The
prospects of the Government having a ma
jority in the Reichstag are, therefore, good.
Should the educational measure before the
council extend to the clergy the control of
the schools, the solid vote of the Centerists
will be secured, thus assuring an over
whelming majority.
In to-day's debate in the Under Haust
the Free Conservative speakers declared
their intention of meeting some of the de-
mands OF the Centerists. An article which
appeared inthe FreiSiRge Zeitung from Herr
Richter. leader of the Germans attacking
Prince Bismarck, has raised crop of con-
current rumors which are of absorbing in
terest here. The Freisinge affirmed that
the ex-Chancellor, unable to support three
weeks of political abstinence, summoned
the editor of the Hamburger Nachrichten,
who dined at Friedrichsruhe on Tuesday,
and that
COACHED BY PRINCE BISMARCK,
the Ndchrickten made a series of attacks
upon Chancellor Won Caprivi, sneering at
his speech in the Landtag and advising the
Deputies to maintain a loyal adherence to
the ex-Chancellor's policy.
The FreiSiRge inferred that Prince Bis
marck meant war through the press and
Parliament against General Won Caprivi,
thereupon the Post Conservative de-
nouuced the article as insulting to the
Prince, denies that the Ndchrichten is in
spired and expressed regret that that
journal is,,in sympathy with Bismarck.
The truth is that Bismarck summoned the
editor of the Nachrichten to consult in regard
TO the getting of a capable literary man
and reliable confident to assist him in al.
ranging and compiling his memoirs The
day after the interview, DR.. Lucanus, Chief
of the Civil Cabinet OF the Emperor, was
sent to Friedrichsruhe.
CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
This coincidence gave rise to the report
that Lucanus was charged to demand the
delivery of documents relating to the
Emperor's doings at the time OF the death
OF his father
The North German Gazette announces
that Bismarck's commission as a cavalry
general has been made out in the name OF
Prince Won Bismarck, Duke of Lauenberg.
The ex-Chancellor has not yet used the
oucal title.
The subscribers to the fund for national
monument to Bismarck include everybody
Of note in politics, finance and society.
