Berlin, June 2.-With view of ascer- taining the truthful side of the report that a ministerial crisis was probable, and was only delayed until after the close of the Kiel canal fetes. the Berlin representative of the United Press sought and obtained an interview last evening with Dr. Miquel, Prussian min .ister of finance, who is undoubtedly the best informed man in the government, still retaining, as he does, the complete confidence of the emperor and the friend ship of all of his colleagues. The re- porter was cordially received and at once put at his ease. The first question asked the minister was what was coming next was it dissolution or new anti-revolu- tion bill as announced by Herr Von Koeller, Prussan minister for the inte- rior.
 Dr. Miquel, who is an eminently eau fious man, made a few turns of the room in silence, and then, coming to a halt, said:
 Dissolve the reichstag? Nonsense. A new reichstag would not be composed a of a materially different mixture of par ties, and besides, the construction of platform would be necessary upon which the government could go before the electorate with any chances of success The federal government will not engage in any such preearious venture. More over, when the reichstag resumes it's sit tings the members will find a number of bills awaiting their disposition, with every chance of their acceptance of the measures. Among them are the bourSe, reform and trading licenses bills, meas ures for the suppression of illegal trad ing and competition, reforming the in surance laws and other practical pro- posals. Those, together with the budget, will abundantly and usefuly employ the time of the house until the Easter recess in 1896 without any prospect of friction between the government and the reich stag"
 Dr. Miquel emphatically denies the truth of the report that 1t was probable that any anti-socialist or anti-revolution bill would again be introduced, and ex- pressed himself as quite sure that the bundesrath would not give it's sanctoin to even a modified form of the defunct bill. All the federal governments were desirous. he declared, that nothing should be done to hinder the reichstag from pursuing peaceful legislative work tending to improve the condition of the masses.
 finance minister spoke indicated his firm belief that no important change in the ministry was in sight.
 The semi-offical denial here of the statement which originated in Paris that the kaiser intended to go on board the French warship Hoche while at Kiel ought to be sufficient to quiet the furore over the suggestion of the German inn perial flag being hoisted over the French warship If it has ever been the inten- tion of the emperor to visit the foreign vessels while at Kiel which is not at all probable the idea has been abandoned and it may be safely asserted that he will not go on board any of them.
 The Grand Duke Alexis, whose pres ence at the fetes as the representative of the czar is especially gratifying to the kaiser. is the bearer of an autograph letter of congratulation from Nicholas II, and will be received by the emperor in special audience upon his arrival at Kiel.- The fact that the grand duke comes by rail instead of arriving there on Rus sian warship, he being the premier ad- miral and commander-in-chief of the Russian navy, has been attributed to an agreement between France and Rus sa in regard to the size and number of the vessels which those powers will con- tribute to the naval display upon this occasion, though it cannot be ascer- tained from any official or reliable source that such an agreement exists. The ar rival of the Grand Duke Alexis on board his flagship, it Is assumed, would imply the presence of a large Russian fleet. whereas his arrival by rail, merely as
 
 in his capacity as grand admiral of the Russian fleet, would not necessitate any great naval display on the part of Rus sia. The view taken here is that the czar sends Alexis to Kiel merely to mark his personal friendship for the kaiser
 The Neusteena Chrichten, a Bismarck ian organ, declares that the Grand Duke Alexis was designated to be present at the Kiel festivities for the reason that representative members of the royal house of England, as well as Austria and Italy, will be in attendance The Duke of York is expected to arrive at Hamburg June 15, on board the royal yacht Os- borne. He will be personally received by the emperor. King Oscar of Sweden and Norway will arrive on board his yacht Drott. He, of course, will have a personal greeting by the emperor upon his arrival, as will also Prince Charles of Denmark.
 The Kiel celebration will undoubtedly mark the busiest period of the em- perors life and impose an immense amount of hard work upon his official entourage. The state dinner which took place in the white hall of the Schloss on Thursday, was q notable function. Covers were laid for $50 guests. among whom were included the count of Flanders brother of Leopold king of the Begians; Prince Albert of Belgium: Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia. and the Plincesses of Hohenzollern; Prince
