BERLIN, Oct oo.-The Federal Council sat
yesterday for the first time since the recess.
The sitting was not a mere form, such as IL
usually observed at the beginning Of a seasons
work. The Official newspapers say that the
members communicated 10 one another and de-
bated the views Of their Governments regarding
the proposals 10 limit the rights Of assembly and
association. 90 as TO enlighten the imperial
Chancellor and his colleagues on the attitudes
Of the Federal States. IL Is understood that
these views hsrmonized with those of Count
Caprivi.
Since the last Prussian Cabinet council, in
which opinions diverged widely. the majority OF
the Ministers have begun to lean toward the
acceptance Of the Chancellor's policy. The semi
official newspapers therefore express the hope
that the differences between the reactionary
Prussian Premier, Eulenburg, and the more lib
eral Chancellor will be removed at once. In
of1cial circles, however, there is little confidence
that the hope will be realized. Eulenburg has
made such decisive stand and has committed
himself go completely that, IL thwarted, he
could not consistently keep his office. The Bis
MARKHAM and Tory journals seem confident that
Eulenburg and the reaction will triumph ulti-
mately. They believe that he will get Emperor
Williams sanction to apply special repressive
laws to Prussia. The Tory Kreuzzettuno san
guine Of victory, makes this argument:
IF the scope of the repressive legislation be
left to the individual States, why should not the
Prussian Landtag deal with the Anarchist ques-
ton independently Of the imperial CHANCELLOR"

quoting at length from BlsmarckIs speech in
1873, when, as now. the Chancellor was not at
the head of the Prussian Council. Bismarck said
that the Emperor must rely upon the Chancellor
for the maintenance of constitutional relations
between Prussia and the empire; that the En-
peror could not allow the Prusslan Ministry to
adopt policy which would weaken the Chan;
cellors authority, and that the Prussian Council
must subordinate its policy to that of the i'm
perial Government.
