BERLIN, March 26.-The emperor means
to give himself and ministers q rest from
parliamentary worries by Immediately
proroguing both the ~reiohstng and landtag.
The former body will be indefinitely pre-
rogued next week. This landtag will be
nominally prorogued until the end of Ooto-
Der, but will not meet again for business
until a new house il elected. In view of
the suspension of parliamentary life it is
futile to study how the political groups
will arrange themselves under. tho minis
terial changes. Members of the center
party in the reichstag are in revolt and
ready to toto any way to defeat thu gov
ernment, but they are powerless to do moro
than assist to reject minor items Ill the
budget. 1t can be predicted that the attl-
tuda of Won Bosse and Gutenberg, the
new president of the council and minister
of ecclesiastical affairs, when they meet the
lower house of the Prussian died Monday,
will be distinctly friendly toward the
conservative and centrist groups. Both
are bent on finding some method
Of reconciling the Catholics between
adjournment and elections. Then there is
hope of a renewal Of the compact with the
clericals. and then appeal to the constitu-
encies. The compact may enable Ven
Gutenberg to defy q possible liberal coali-
ton. His friends say his will work to win
with a conservative and moderate liberal, or
a conservative and clerical alliance.
1t is ascertsined that Won Gutenberg will
sndeavor to prevent enlargement with the
clerioals. Concerning his relations with
Won Caprivi, the latter opposed Won Bulens
berg's appointment, knowing he would be .
dangerous rival for the imperial chancel-
lorship. The duration Of the present pre-
visional arrangement after the elections is
improbable. Those best acquainted with
Won Gutenberg say he will succeed in Dust
ing Won Caprivi from the Prussian minis
try and the imperial chancellorship within
the current year.
There was an interesting discussion in
the reichstaR to-day, on Richter's question
ing Caprivi as to probable abandonment by
the government of the primary education
bill. The chancellor replied that he found
it impossible to carry out the policy OF bar
ter implied in the declarations of Bismarck.
He said it would be SHINING against the
German empire to purchase benefits for it
at the expense of Prussia. The an1ieties
he had endured as president of the Prussian
ministry had been the greatest Of his life.
1t would strengthen the stability OF the
empire TO make the imperial chancellor in
dependent Of Prussian affairs. Germany,
he declared, would come out of the present
crisis with renewed force arising from
ministerial changes.
Bennington took credit for leading the
opposition to success against the education
bill proposals. Liebknecht expressed fear
that the socialists in their rejoioings over
the collapse of a measure which mentioned
religious freedom in Prussia. Caprivi re-
mains as the representative of the Prussian
ministry in the bundesrath.
Tbs emperor returned this evening from
Hubertusstock. He looked wolf and
showed no traces of his recent illness.
