The emperor means to give himself and
his ministers rest from parliamentary
worries by the immediate proroguing of
both the reichstag and the landtag.
The former body will be indefinitely
prorogued next week. The landtag will
be nominally prorogued until the end
of October, but will not meet. In view
of the suspension of parliamentary life,
it is futile to study how the political
groups will arrange themselves under
the ministerial changes. The members
of the Centre party in the reichstag are
in revolt and ready to vote any way to
defeat the government, but they are
powerlees. to do more than assist
to reject minor items in the
budget. 1t can be predicted that
the attitude of Won Eulenburg,
now president of the council, and DR..
Bosse, minister OF ecclesiastical affairs,
when they meet the lower house of the
Prussian diet Monday will be distinctly
friendly. The Conservative and Centrist
groups are both bent on finding some
method for reconciling the Catholics
between adjournment and the elections.
Then they hope to renew the compact
with the clericals and then appeal to the
constituents. The compact may enable
Won Eulenburg to defy a possible
Liberal coalition. His enemies say he
- ,,s, xrsk okxxyo
and Moderate Liberal or Conservative
and Clerical alliance.
1t is ascertained that Won Gutenberg
will endeavor to prevent estrangement
with the Clericals concerning his rela-
opposed to Won Eulenburg's appoint
dangerous rival for the imper al chan
provisional arrangement after the elec-
tions is improbable. Those best &C.
uuainted with Won Eulenburg say he
will succeed in ousting Won Caprivi
from the Prussian ministry and imperial
chancellorship within the current year.
There wac an interesting discussion in
the reichstag today on the reichstag's D
questioning Won Caprivi as to the prob
able abandonment by the government
of the primary education bill. The
chancellor replied that he found it i'm
possible to carry out the policy outlined
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 ankle
ties he has endured as president OF the
Prussisn ministry had been the greatest
of his life. 1t would strengthen the
stability of the empire to make the i'm
perial chancellor independent of Prus-
sian affairs. Germany, he declared,
would come out of the present crisis
with renewed force arising from the
ministerial changes.
Bennington took credit for leading the
opposition to success against the educa-
tion bill.
Liebnecht expressed for the Socialists
their rejoicing over the collapse of the
measure. which menaced religious free
dom in Prussia.
Caprivi remains as the representative
of the Prussian ministry in the bundles
rath.
The emperor returned this evening
from Hubertusstock. He looked we'll and
showed no traces of his recent illness.
The case of the Americen, X. M. r..
Whitney, who was arrested last week,
has assumed the proportions of a most
gross scandal. Long prior to his arrest
the police were warned through priest
that men addicted to unnatural offenses
met in q certain restaurant. The
place was watched and it was found
that a company of forty-fve men,
many of whom were attired in women's
clothes, assembled in the restaurant
where a mock marriage ceremony was
being performed, with Whitney as the
bride, dressed in white satin. The
bridegroom was cavalry private. DR..
Saal, an American, acted as the clergy
man. The ceremony was stopped by
detectives. The subsequent orgies awoke
the authorities and the restaurant was
closed. The arrest OF Whitney on a
specific charge of committing foul
offense followed. 1t is said that Whit
ney's income is $25, 1000 year. Bail
was refused in his case.
