! BERLIN, March -ICopyrigAt, 1892. By
the New York Associated Pressl-A
Gamer view of the ministerial situation
prevails everywhere tonight. It is pos
lively known chat Caprivi will not resign.
ana the retirement of Zeidlitz, Prussian
minister Of ecclesiastical affairs, is still I'M
decided. 1t depends on the result of the
Emperor's deliberations. Now that the
nature Of the crisis is better understood, it
is seen that at no time was it Of tie mo-
mentous character Tumor gave it. Since
the committee having in charge the Prus-
| sian primary education bill began sitting
Caprlyl and Zeidlitz have been Offering on
position to tentative amendments TO
the measure. Only last week the
government seemed bidding for an
arrangement satisfactory to tho Nation
al Liberals, and which would break
up the threatened coalition with the Freis-
slnlge party. Miguel, Prussian minister
OF finance, who, when The bill was present
ed, was only induced to retain his position
by the promise OF the Emperor that salts
| factory notifications would be made in the
Dill, was empowered by Ceunizen. the Ma
| uonal Liberal leader, to inform the En-
peror tue party retained no hope that the
negotiations would result successfully I'M
less the bill was so altered as TO deprive
the Catholic and Lutheran clergy
OF the special rights given them
OF control of the religious teaching in the
elementary schools. The Emperor, there
lore, had 10 face the loss of his ablest min
lSter, Miguel. Thursday last he instructed
Aeidlltz 70 prepare a compromise on the
oasis OF the demands Of the National Lib
erals. Zeidlitz consulted with the chan
cellor, who urged that an attempt be made
TO meet the Emperor's wishes. Zeidlitz
found the attempt TO alter the bill to SAL
lsty the National Liberals would involve
such radical changes as would make the
measure impossible Of acceptance by the
Conservative and Centrist majority. and
his only way out was to resign In order
TO think over the difficulty in complete Sc
cluslon the Emperor left Berlin for his
shooting seat. Meanwhile members of ths
National Liberal and F'reissinige parties
are Growing over their temporary success.
The Post, however, admits the victory in
doubtful. The Td1ebIdtt advises the Ma
uonal Liberals TO remain deaf 10 all solicit
tatlons, surrender nothing, but rather
draw strength from the situation The
KIeuz ZeitltHg still hopes the Emperor will
not abandon the religious clauses of the
Dill, thus running the hopes of the Conserv-
at1veS and Catholics. 1t advises the gov
eminent TO resort to adiournmeunt till
October to keep the ministry intact, and
insure the subsidence of the opposition
claE-or. The Conservative members of the
landtsg feel that the step is advisable. The
Crisis has not caused any trouble upon the
bourse, and financial houses have not given
credence to the rumors of the chancellor's
resignation, nor have they attached any

The contemplated Austrian currency agi-
tation; the Bland silver BILL and the move
ment Of British bimetallists have awakened
interest in the silver question here. The
report of the Reichsbank for 1892 shows
the total stock of coin held by that institu-
tlon oJ3, COO MARKS. The amount of sill
yer Is estimated at 200, COZ, 600 marks Ex-
perts estimate the silver in Australian
gary at 420,0O0000 marks Although
President Koch, of the Reichsbank. with
most financial leaders in Germany and
Austria, now adheres to the gold standard,
all agree national interests would
obllge them take part in an international
monetary conference If one were arranged
by the United States and other great cOun-
tries. IL is said all Germany could assent
TO in the conference would be to increase
the amount of her subsidiary silver coinage.
Opinion here, including that of few mem
bers of the relchstag, who adhere to hi
metalllsm, ls that an international confer
ence would be Of doubtful value.
