Impels the Government to Shun q Special
Reichstag Session.
ALL EUROPE is ANGRY WITH THE CzAR

lCopyriglt 1891 by the New York Associated Press
BERLIN, May S0.-Emperor William, be-
fore deciding on a reduction or temporary
suspension Of the duties on grain, asked DR..
Won Boetticher, Secretary of the Imperial
Home Office, to submit to him a report
upon the crop prospects and upon the general
economic position bearing upon the ques-
tion. The Ministerial Council will meet to-
morrow to take definite action touching the
matter. The Ministers maintain the utmost
reserve, but it is the official conviction to-
night that there will be neither reduction
nor suspension of the duties before the
commercial treaty between Germany and
Austria-Hungary comes into force.
The Cologne Gazette states that the Gov
ernment will declare its decision Monday.
Lobby gossip has it that the Lanatag will fix
the opening of special session of the Reich
stag for June II, but this report is in direct
variance with the belief in Ministerial
circles
No Report Yet by the Commission.
The commission appointed by the Govern
ment to consider the matter of grain
supplies, has not yet completed its inquiry,
though preliminary report has been sup
piled by it to the Ministers in order to
assist them in their deliberations. Only
the most urgent necessity will cause
the convening of the Reichstag. A
discussion of the grain tariffs question
would open. the whole question, pending
the negotiations for treaty of commerce
with Austria, and would force the Govern
ment to awkward disclosures, which might
assist Prince Bismarck in forming the OPP
position coalition which he is now actively
at work constructing.
Herr Bleichroder, the well-known banker.
visited Friedrichsruhe Thursday to consult
with Prince Bismarck regarding the ex-
pected action of the Government. The
progressist press announce that Prince
Bismarck will appear in the Reichstag and
oppose a reduction of the grain tariffs, and
predict that the Prince will certainly meet
with humiliating defeat, as hardly a score
of the members will support him. In the
absence of accurate information as to how
the Prince would deal with possible grain
famine, the prediction is futile.
Advisability of Reduction Admitted.
The Conservatives admit that a temporary
reduction of the tariffs may be advisable

diminution of the duties by similar admis-
sion. The organs Of the agrarian party
generally deny that there is any present
necessity for dealing with the tariff, but ad-
init reluctantly that there is Il possibility
that the Government will be compelled to
intervene. The position may be summed
up as follows: If the Ministers declare that
r
dare oppose measures of relief.
The Post semi-oficially announces that
the MARQUIS di Rudini. the Italian Premier.
has formally communicated to the German
and Austrian Governments the determine
tion of Italy to adhere to the Dreibund.
