BERLIN, Dee. 30. The Conservatives
are Increasing their attacks Oh the gov
eminent. the latest form being Il cru
SADIE, led eY Herr HamncrStrin, in the
Kreuz Zeitung, insinuating that there
IS a misunderstanding between Chan
celior Won Capriyi and the Prussian
ministers. Since the chancelIorship of
the empire and the Prussian premier
ship nave been placed III different
hands, they have had an easy task to
get in certain amount of credence for
these rumors. The Associated Press is
in a position 10 state that there is not
the slightest foundation for these re-
ports connecting the chancellor with
crisis Chancellor Won CaprIvi is firmer
i'll office today than ever before; lie has
the perfect confidence of Emperor
William. while the alleged friction
said 10 exist between Chancellor Won
Caprivi and Count Won EuIenburg are
pure fabrications. The Conservatives
are fighting the
FIGHT OF DESPAIR,
and feel tile ground slipping from under
their feet. Their last hope is Ia cslrange
the emperor from the chancellor. The
emperor received on Friday, in success
sion, Chancellor Won Caprivi. Count Won
Eulenburg, secretary of state; Cen Won
SchelIfndorf, secretary of war, and Dr.
B0sse, minister of education. The main
subject covered by these conversations
was the attitude of the Conservatives.
General opinion expects that, should
the Conservative vote succeed il de-
feating the commercial treaty with Rus
STA, the government would be dissolved.
This could, however. only be done If
the object was TO gam the lasting SUP
port of the Liberals, who are decidedly
opposed to the present proportions Of
tie new taxes. The very moderate
politicians favorina the tobacco, wine
and receipt taxes do not hesitate In say
that, in order 10 fight he Conservatives
successfully. the government must
withdraw these taxes and Institute
new bill proposing Il progressive tax on
inheritances. which. With The b0urse
tax, would suffice 10 cover urgent fnan-
cial demands. Ii Is believed that the
government would not stop sho1t of
such a change OF front, and that the de-
feat OF the Conservatives wonld APP
proach annihiIatIOn. Should the en-
pPror decide 10 take this course. lie
would be at once the most popular per-
sonage in Germany. Business
