Berlin, Aug. emperor Williams
first interview with the chancellor after
returning from the north concerned re
cent cabinet discussions Of the steps 10
be taken for the repression Of socialism
and auarchism The discussions were
reported at length by the chancellor
They impressed his majesty with
the necessity of acting at once
against the revOlutiOnlsts. Chancellor
Won Caprivi did not help the emperor 10
this decision. in fact he is known to have
held back from il. He advised the en-
peror 10 wait at least until the subject
could be discussed iu the federal council,
and the opinions of the federated govern
ments could be obtained. He ar-ued
that tine imperial government could
lose nothing by thus informing itself and
might be saved the Chagrin Of
committing itself to a bill that could not
be passed. At first the emperor seemed in
cliHed TO accept the chance.l0r's advice;
then he changed his opinion, suddenly,
and directed Chancellor Won Caprivl 10

may be maturing. The exact terms Of the
proposed measures are not known, and
even their scope is in doubt. DIR. MIGUEL
and Count Botho Gutenberg have
called with one voice for repression, but,
when it comes to determining the lengths
TO which each government shall go, their
demands differ greatly. Count Gutenberg,
an ultra tory. desires to revive the old
Bismarckian laws with few draconic
amendments for the disCipliuiug Of
the anarchists. In this particular he
has gone over to the kreuz-
Zeitung party completely, and planted
himself squarely on the ground Of the
ChancellOr's worst enemies. Dr. MIGUEL
desires a milder measure, coupled with q
reform Of judicial procedure. The free
conservatives have joined the tories in
backing Count Gutenberg. DR.. Miguels
support is rather doubtful, as the liberals
are afraid Of repressive laws and the
radicals oppose them bitterly.
