Emperor William was never better exen-
pEifed than during the last week. The

couple OF busy days followed. including.the
interes ting ceremony of blessing and pre-
senting these flags. gala dinners and other

to attend 10 such business IS that Of today,
which found him engaged with internal
politics.
At noon today the emperor received
deputation from the Farmers Alliance of
East Prussia. His majesty was attended

council of ministers; DIR. Won Lucanus,
chief of the emperor's civil cabinet, and
Herr Heinrich Won Leyden-Cadow. the

and assured them he would never relax
his care Tor agriculture. He aftarward
conversed with each member OF the depu-

pressions OF good will
In spite of outward appearances and
newspaper statements, it Is asserted that
the conflict between Chancellor Caprivl
and Count Gutenberg respecting the anti
socialist measures is not settled. On the
contrary, the situation is said to be more
critical than ever, and il has been asserted
that at a recent conference of the ministry
bitter words were exchanged between the
chancellor and the Prussian premier, ow-
ing to the latter insisting on more severe
measures than Caprivi was disposed to in
troduce in the reichstag. The conference
broke up with the ministry in discord.
Since then Emperor William has brought
his influence to bear, and the dispute was
patched up. Bat Caprivi is still, to some
extent, at variance with the Prussian
premier. and inclined to resign the chan
cellorship rather than submit to the
reichstag measures with which he has no
sympathy himself and which, moreover.
he is convinced the reichstag would not
accept. Gutenberg. who has tho coun:e-
nance of the emperor. Is credited with the
desire 10 frame measures upon the most
comprehensive basis. including a revision
of the election Iawsrxcluding unfit persons
from the polls and raising the voting age.
in addition to placing restriction on the
constitutional rights of assembly or as
ISOLATION, as well as restricting the liberty
of the press.
The Socialists have fully grasped the
drift OF these measures, and the Socialists
organ, Tortcuerts. threatens that the party
will become out and out anti-goyernmental
at the elections for the diet. as well as tor
the reichstag. Hitherto the Socialists
have refrained from active interference in
the diet elections.
A deputation from the municipal coun-
Gil of Danizic arrived in Berlin today to
present to Caprivi a diploma of freedom of
that city. Dantzic is the first city to con-
fer this honor on the chancellor.
