BERLIN. March 2G.--The emperor
means to give himself and his new min
listers period of rest from parliamentary
worries by Immediately prorogating both
the rcichstag and the land tag. The
former body will be prorogued next
week for an indefinite period The
landtag will be nominally prorOgued un-
til the end of October, but it will not
meet again for business until new
house is elected. In view of the suspen-
sion of parliamentary life it will be
futile to study how political groups will
re-arrange themselves under the Prus-
sian ministerial changes. Members of
the center party in the rcichstag are al
ready in revolt and are ready to vote
any way SO as to defeat the government,
but they are powerlcss, as the remaining
business stands, to do more than assist
in the rejection OF minor items of the
budget.
When Count Won Eulcnberg, the new
president of the .Prussian council of
ministers, and DR.. Won Bosse, the new
instruction and medicinal affairs, meet
the lower house of the Prussian diet on
Monday, their attitude, it can be pre-
dicted, will be distinctly friendly to-
wards the conservative and centcrist
groups. Count Won Eulenberg's whole
record is inconsistent with any policy
tending to an alliance of the conscrva-
tives with the national liberals under
-; nj ~ tn
government legislation. Both he and
DIR. Won Bosse are bent to find some
method of reconciling the Catholics be-
tween the adjournment Of the landtag
and the elections. The ministers hope
to renew the compact with the clericals
and then appeal to their: r:constituencics.
This may so alter the balance Of parties
as to enable Count Won Gutenberg to
defy the possible liberal coalition. The
counts enemies say he has the supple
ness of an eel and that he will work
very hard to win with Il conservative
and moderate liberal, or a conservative
and clerical alliance. In the meantime
it is ascertained he means to try to pre-
vent any estrangment with the clericals
concerning his relations with Chancellor
Won Caprive. Nothing is surer than that
lle ldlleT OppOScu uplS'hs'i'Ht ~
Count Gutenberg as his successor as
president of council. knowing as he did
that County Won Gutenberg as l'russlan
premire would be a dangerous rival for
the imperial chancellorship. Prince Bis
marck, when the chancellor found Count
Won Gutenberg too astute and OF too
strongna personality, he picked quar-
rel with him and elected him from the
ministry of the interior in 1881: After
an interval of some months Prince BIS
marck appointed him president the gov
crnmcnt of Hesse- Nassau. The count is
an abler orator than Gen. Won Caprive
and will make bigger hgure in the
Prussian diet. The duration of the
nresent provisional arrangement after
The Prussian elections is improbable.
Those best acquainted with Count Won
Eulcnberg back him as succeeding in
oustinp Gen. Won. Caprivi from the Prus.
sian ministry and from the imperial
chancellorship within the current year.
The emperor selected Dr. Won Bosse as
being sympathetic with his social and re-
lirio1s reform. He is pious without be-
ing pietist, conservative but not re
actionist. DR.. Won Bosse is notable
among ministers as an eager supporter
of the anti-lrink legislation. lie IS an
anti duelist and social purity man.
