Reiehstag and Landtag to Be
Prorogued Early in the
Present Week.

Upon as a Sure Successor
to Caprivi.
The Kaiser Well Received on
His Return, and Reported
Looking Well.

BERLIN, March 26.-The emperor
means to give himself and his new min
listers period of rest from parliament
airy worries by the immediate proroga-
ton of both the reichstag and landtag.
The former body will be prorogued next
week for an indefinite period. The
landtag will be nominaliy prorogued
until the end of October, but it will not
meet again for business until new
house is elected. In view of the sus
pension of parliamentary life it will be
futile to study how the political groups
will rearrange themselves under the
Prussian ministerial changes.
The members of the Center party In
the reichstag are already in revolt and
are ready to vote any way so as to de-
feat the government, but they are pow
erless, as the remaining business stands,
to do more than assist in the rejection
of minor items of the budget. When
Count Won Gutenberg, the new presi-
dent of the Prussian council of minis
tiers, and DR.. Won Bosse, the new min
lister of ecclesiastical affairs, meet the
lower house of the Prusslan diet Mon
day. their attitude, it can be predicted,
will be distinctly friendly towards the
Conservative and Centrist groups.
Count Won Eulenberg's whole record
is inconsistent with any policy
tending to the alliance of the Conserua-
tiycs with the National Liberals under
conditions giving a liberal imprint to
government legislation. Both he and
Dr..von Bose are bent to fluid some
method of

between the adjournment of the landtag
and the elections. The ministers can
icalS and then appeal to the conSttu-
encies. This may so alter the balance
of the parties as to enable Count Won
Gutenberg to defy, if possible, Liberal
coalition. Count Won Eulenberg'S en-
emies say that he has the suppleness of
an eel, and that he will work to win
with Conservative and moderate Lib
eral Or Conservative and Clerical ALI
ance.
In the meantime 1t is ascertained that
he means to try to prevent an estrange-
ment with the ClericalS concerning his
relations with Chancellor Won Caprivi.
Nothing is surer than that the latter OPP
posed the appointment of Count Won

of the council. knowing as he did that
Count Won Gutenberg as PruSSian pre-
mier would be dangerous rival for the
imperial chancellorship. Prince Bis
marck, when chancellor, found Count
Won Gutenberg too estate and of too
strong personality. He picked
quarrel with him and elected him from
the ministry of the interior in 1881.
After an interval OF some months Prince
Bismarck appointed him president Of
the government of Hesse-Nassau. The
count is an ADLER orator than Gen. Won
Caprivi, and will

in the Prussian diet. The duration Of
the present provisional arrangement
after the Prussian elections is improb
able. Those best acquainted with Count
Won Gutenberg back him to succeed in
ousting Won .Caprivi from the Prussian
ministry and from the imperial chancel
lorship within the curreDt year. The
emperor selected DR.. Won Bosse as be-
ing sympathetic with his social and re-
ligious reform. He is pious without be-
ing pietist, conservative but not re-
actionist. DR.. Won Bose is notable
porter of the anti-drInk legislation. He

= There was highly interesting dis
cussion in the reiehstag today on Herr
Richter questioning Chancellor Won
Caprivi regarding the attitude of the
government to the clerical view as to
the probable abandonment of the pri-
mary education bill. The chancellor re-
piled that he found it impossible to
carry out the policy of the barter i'm
piled in the do deb declarations of
Prince Bismarck. He said it would be
SHINING against the German empire to
purch 2se benefits for it at the expense
of Prussia. The anXleties he had en-
dured as president of the Prussian min
stry had been the greatest of his life.
1t would strengthen the stability of the
empire to make the imperial chancellor

arising from the ministerial changes.
Herr Won Bennigsen next took credit for
leading the opposition to success
against the education proposals. The
National Liberals and the members of
the Fresinnige party heartily applaud
ed his references to the agitation
against the bill. Herr Liebknecht ex-
pressed for the socialists their rejoicing
over the collapse of measure which
had menaced religious freedom i'll PruS
STA. He concluded with the rather ir-
relevant declaration that, despite strong
party and political divisions, Germany,
if attacked by France or Russia, would
rise as one man to repel the invaders.
Gen. Won Caprivi remains as repre-
sentative of the Prussian ministry in the
bundesrath. The emperor returned to
Berlin this evening from Hubertus-
stock. He was met at the station by
the empress, Gen. Won Whites and other
officials. He was enthusiastically
cheered by the people OH the streets as
he drove to the castle. He looked well
and showed no traces of his recent ILL
ness. His attendants state that the cold
from which he suffered only slightly
affected his respiration. He daily took
hard gallops through the forest roads.
He has not been troubled with his ear
malady, the attendants say. for weeks.
