BERLIN, March 1.-THE renewal Of
friendly relations between the emperor and
Prince Bismarck approaches certainty.
Emperor William will visit Kiel at the end
OF tbs month and he will proceed thsncs to
Altoona, where he will review the Ninth
army corps. which is commanded by Gen.
Count Won WaIdersee. Count Waldersee.
on the occasion Of his recent visit
to Friedsrichsruhe. conveyed a
request from the emperor TO
Prince Bismarck to meet him at Altoona.
Prince Bismarck has not yet given his
assent to the resumption Of direct communi-
cations with the emperor. His delay in re-
spoading appears to be due to a determina-
ton TO assure himself as to how the en-
psror is likely soon to stand toward leading
statesmen who are probably SUCCESSORS Of
the present minister.
EVOLUTION OF THE CABINET.
The cabinet Is in a state Of evolution
What may be its final construction when
the emperor finally resolves upon It his
majesty himself does not know. After
Herr Won Gossler, Herr Herrfurth, minis
ter Of the interior, will be the next TO go.
Chancellor Won Caprivi denies the rumor
that he has offered TO resign, but he tolls his
friends that he awaits his maIestys
pleasure upon reforming the ministry.
Chancellor Won iCaprivi has made his peace
with Prince Bismarck, and slants toward
the conservatives and aid cartellers, VINO
have never ceased in their admiring ale
glance to the prince. The emperor has
failed to find Chancellor Won CAprivi the
tractable tool he expected him to be. Be-
meath the chancellor's affability Of manner
lies a firm disposition not to yield on great
matters, though he is submissive on minor
ones.
MIGUEL IN FAVOR.
The emperor now appears to be making
Herr Miguel, the Prussian minister of
finance his bosom confidant. The papers
las evening, in view Of the constant con-
situations between the emperor and Herr
Miguel, announced that the latter had
actually been appointed to succeed Chan
csllor Won Caprivi. The announcement is
not true yet. The appoin tment OF Herr
Miguel as chancellor would imply the en-
peror's full adhesion to the labor reforms
and liberal measures for the relief of the
burdens Of the workmen.
BISMARCK WAITING.
Prince Bismarck is awaiting develop
ments. He is waiting to see the tendency
of the imperial mind. II the emperor
selects Herr Miguel as chancellor the chance
of renewal of confidential relations with
the ex-chancellor will be very remote. The
people of Berlin now call the emperor ''der
plotzhcher." They are becoming habituated
TO sudden surprises from him. In the mean
time, in view Of the possible reconciliation,
Prince Bismarck's organs are observing an
armistice, and refrain from attacking the
imperial policy. At meeting Of the cleo
tors Of Gestemunde the candidacy Of
Prince Bismarck for theRechstag was hailed
with much enthusiasm. He is looked upon
not as party nominee, but as the nominee
Of the nation.
WILLING TO RUN.
In reply to repeated applications made to
him to state whether he would accept the
mandate of the electors, Prince b smarck
has written letter in which he states he
would accept, but reserves the right to
refuse II the majority returning him was
not sufficient. The socialists will oppose
him. At the last election in Gestemunde,
Gerhard, the carteller candidate, recsived
1857 votes, against 1905 for the socialist
candidate, and :, I02 for the Guelph nominee.
Prince Bismarck is certain Of great ma jor-
ity if he stands.
FUNDS FOR THE CLERGY.
The commission Of the Reichstag on the
government bill providing for the restitu-
ton to the clergy of the funds seized by the
government during the Kulturkampf has
rejected the lead ing clauses as too favorable
to the clericals The decision implies prac-
tlcal rejection Of the measure. The center
or the clerical party will fight hardest for
the restoration of the bill as proposed.
A delegation of miners who are going to
the congress which is to be held in Paris
March 81, have been charged to propose a
plan fer an international strike, to include
the miners in England, France, Belgium
and Germany. The scheme includes con.
trolling OF the strike by a central COM
