BERLIN, March 26-fAssociated Press,
Copyrighted, 1892. THE emperor means
to give himself and his ministers rest from
parliamentary worry by immediate pro-
roguing of both the reichstag and landtag.
The former body will be indefinitely pro-
rogued next week The landtag will be
nominally prorogued until the end OF
October, but will not not meet again
for business until the new house
Is elected. In view of the sus-
pension of parliamentary life, 1t
is futile to study how the political groups
will arrange themselves under the minis
terial changes The members of the Gen.
ter party in the reichstag are in revolt and
ready to vote any way to defeat the gov
eminent, but they are powerless to do
more than assist in rejecting minor items
of the budget. 1t can be predicted that
the attitude of Won Eulenburg. the new
president of the council, and Won Bose,
minister of ecclesiastical affairs, when
they meet the lower house of the Prussian
diet Monday. will be distinctly
friendly toward the Conservative and
Centrist groups, both bent on finding
some method of reconciliation with the
Catholics between adjournment and the
elections. They hope TO renew the COM
pact with the Clericals and then appeal to
the constituencies. The compact may en-
able Won Eulenburg to defy possible Lib
eral coalition His enemies say he will
work to win with a Conservative and mod
crate Liberal, or Conservative and Cleri-
cal alliance. 1t is ascertalned
that Won Eulenburg will endeavor
to prevent arrangement with the Cleri-
Gals. Concerning his relation with Won
Caprivi, it is said the latter opposed Won
Eulenburg's appointment, knowing that
he would be & dangerous rival for the i'm
perial chancellorship. Long duration of
the present provisional arrangement of
the factions is improbable. Those best
acquainted with Won Eulenburg say he
will succeed in ousting Won Caprivi from
the Prussian ministry and the imperial
chancellorship within the current year.
There was an interesting discussion in
the reichstag today on Richter's question
ing Won Caprivi as to the probable
abandonment by the government of the
primary education bill. The chancellor
replied that he found it impossible to
carry out the policy of barter implied in
the declarations of Bismarck. He said it
WOulu DC SHINING against the herman EN-
pire to purchase benefits for it at
the expense of Prussia. The
anxieties he had endured as presi-
dent of the Prussian ministry
had been the greatest OF his life. 1t would
strengthen the stability of the empire to
make the imperial chancellor independent
of the Prussians. Germany, he declared,
would come out Of the present crisis with
renewed force arising from the ministerial
charges. Benningsen took the credit for
leading the opposition to success against
the educational proposals.
Liebknecht expressed for the Socialists
their rejoicing over the collapse of meas
ure which menaced religious freedom in
Prussia. Caprivi remains as representa-
tive of the Prusslan ministry in the bundles
rath.
The Conservative, National Liberal and
Polish parties held a meeting today and
decided to support the credit asked for
construction of new ironclad. The men,
bers of the Center party also met today
and definitely decided to oppose the credit,
thus starting an open revolt against the
government
