Berlin, June with view of ascer-
tanning the truthful side Of the reports
that a ministerial crisis was probable and
only delayed until after the Keil canal
fetes. the Berlin representative of the
United Press sought and obtained an in
terview last evening with DR.. Miguel, the
Prussian minister of finance. who is un-
doubtedly the best informed man in the
government. stin retaining, as he does,
the complete confidence of the emperor
and the friendship of his colleagues. The
reporter was cordially received and at once
put at his ease.
The first question asked the minister
was: What is coming next, is it dis
solution or a new anti-reyolutioR bill, as
announced by Herr Won Koeller. Prussian
minister for the interior"
DR.. MIGUEL, who is an eminently cautious
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 Of
a material difference in parties and be,
sides, the construction of a platform
would be necessary upon which the gov
ernment could go before the electorate
with any chance of success. The federal
government won't engage in any such pre-
carious venture. Moreover, when the
Reichstag resumes it's sittings the men,
bers will find 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, measures for the suppression of il
legal trading and competition, reforming
the insurance laws and other practical
proposals. These together with the bud
get, will abundantly and usefully employ
the time of the House until the Easter
recess of 1896 without any prospect of fric-
tion between the government and the
Reichstag"
DR.. MIGUEL emphatically denied the
truth of the report that it was probable
that any anti-socialist or anti-revolution
bill would be again introduced, and ex-
pressed himself also as quite sure that the
Bundesrath would not give its sanction to
even a modified form of the defunct BILL
All the federal governments, he declared,
We're strongly desirous that nothing should
be done to hinder the Reichstag from pur-
suing peaceful legislative work tending
to improve the condition of the masses.
The confident tone in which the finance
minister spoke indicated his firm belief
that no important change in the ministry
was in sight.
The semi-official denial here of the state
ment 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 sugz
gestion of the German imperial flag be-
ing hoisted over the French warship. II
It has ever been the intention of the en-
peror to visit the foreign vessels while at
kiel, which is not at all probable, the idea
has been abandoned, and it may be safe
ly asserted that he will not go on board
any of them.
The Grand Duke Alexis whose presence
a. the fetes as the representative of the
ear is especially gratifying to
the kaiser, is the bearer of an auto
graph letter of eongratulation from Mich
0las II, and will be received by the en-
2eror in special audience upon his ar
'iyal at Kiel. The fact that the grand
luke comes to Kiel by rail, instead of ar
rvng there on a Russian warship, he
being the premier admiral and command
er-n-chief of the Russian navy, has been
attributed to an agreement between
France and Russia in regard to the size
and number of vessels which those pow
ers will contribute to the naval display
upon the occasion, though it cannot be
ascertained from any official or reliable
source that any such agreement exists.
The arrival 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 the representative of the car and not
IN his capacity as grand admiral of the
Russian fleet, would not necessitate any
great naval display. on the part of Rus
sa The view taken here is that the czar
sends the Grand Duke Alexis to Kiel
merely to mark his friendship for the
kaiser.
The Neuste Nachrichten, a Bismark-
ian organ, declares that the Grand Duke
Alexis was designated to be present at
the Kiel festivities for the reason that rep
resentative members of the royal houses
Of England, Austria and Italy will be in
attendance.
The Duke of York is expected to ar
rive at Hamburg June 10, on board the
royal yacht Osborn. He will be PERSONAL
Iy 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 emperor 3
HE, and impose an immense amount Of
hard work upon his official encourage.
The state dinner, which took place in
the White hall of the Schloss on Thurs
day was a notable function. Covers were
laid for $50 guests, among whom were IN
Guided the Count of Flanders, brother of
Leopold, King of the Belgians; Prince
Albert of Belgium, Prince Frederic Leo
pold OF Prussia, and the Princesses of Ho-
henzollern, Prince Aribert of Anhal.,
Prince Hohenlohe the imperial chancel-
Tor; Gen. Brunsart Won Schellendorff,
minister of war, and most of the imperial
and Prussian ministers. After the ban
quet there was grand gala performance
IN the opera house which was attended by
all the members of the imperial family
and their distinguished guests. La File
uu Regiment was performed, with Mad
anne Sembrich as Marie.
Amid the constant daily duties which
nave been imposed upon the kaiser such
as reviewing troops, receiving ministers.

celebration, ETC., the kaiser found time
last week to indulge in a days shooting
