years Of his govsrnorship the hatred oi
Russia against the Germans rose to the
| highest pitch, he sfudiously abstained
from impartlng to the czarowitz any
such aversion.
According to 6iepatch from st.
Petersburg, published By the National
Zeitung, and according to special INFORM
alton from medical authority now at
| Lividis, the czar during the last As
| hours has Deen 6lezed with a series OF
convulsive attacks, accompanied for sew
eral hours by unconsclousness. These
attacks were due to the passage into the
blood OF eecretions which the kidneys
cannot longer carry off. The czar is also
described as suffering from great weak =
ness OF the heart, and also from frequent
attacks of ofcongestion OF the lungs. This
blood poisoning is now recurring with
alarming frequency. The temporary
rallies may intervene, but death cannot
long be delayed.

In spite OF outward appearances and
newspaper statements, IL is asserted the
conflict between Chancellor Won Caprivi
and Count Gutenberg. respecting the
anti-Socialist measuree, is not settled.
On the contrary. the situation 10 said to
be more critical than ever, and it has
bsen asserted that at q recent conferences
of the ministry bitter words were ex-
changed between the chancellor and the
Prussian premier. owing TO the latter
insisting on more severe meas
ures than Caprivi was disposed
to introduce in tbs reichstag. The
conference broke up with the ministry
in discord. Since then Emperor Will
liam has brought his influence to bear
and the dispute was patched up But
Caprivi is still to some extent at vari-
ance with the Pruseian premier and IN
clined to resign the chancellorsh ip
rather than submit to the reichetag
measures with which he has no sym.
pathy himself, and which, moreover,
he ia convinced the reichstag would
not accept.

of the en- peror, ia credited with the de-
sire to frame measures upon the most
comprehensive basis, including a revis-
ion OF the electoral laws, excluding un-
FL persons from the polls and raising the
voting age, in addition to placing re.
striction on the constitutional rights OF
assembly or association, as well Rs re-
stricting the liberty of the press.
