It was seriously suggested that after

urge him to consent to place Grover Cleve-

the most polite course for him to adopt as
Cleveland's nomination is inevitable, If
he adopts this course and CIeve-

BERLIN, April 16.--Emperor William,
hoping personal intervention would lead to
renewal Of friendly relations between
the conservatives and the government,
charged Won Walderaee to ascertain what
| concessions were necessary to effect a rec
onciliation. Won Waldsrsea found that
the conservatives would accept nothing
less than return to the clerical policy Of
which clerical control Of education ia d
leading feature. The conservatives have
given prominent place on the programme
to an anti-Jewish policy. The political ro-
grouping now going on tends to aolidify
the conservative and centrist coalition
The organization Of the projected new car
tell party now appears unlikely, though the
emperor advised that the coalition would
meet with his approval. Tho position is,
that when the roiohstag and landtag reas-
sembls the government will be confronted
with strong conservative and centrist ma
jority in both bodies. Ministerial eakness
Will cause poatponsment Of the introduu-
tlen IN tho reichataG Of the new military
bill adding $4,000 men to the army and the
question Of the salary Of Won Eul an burg
WILL be lodged in the landtag BY giving
him tho ministry Of the interior. Before
the government thought il would be policy
to deny the existence Of the military bill

portion of which is that the term Of service
shall be only two years. The bill further
entails large estimates for artillery, besides
