Heat of Political Campaign and
Cabinet Crisis-COunt WaIdersee
Looked Upon as the Next ChanceI-
Tor.
Berlin, March 3O.-Responsible newspa-
pers venture few remarks on the report
that the emperor went so far a week ago
as to sign a decree dissolving the Reich
stag. The Frankfurter Zeitung said on
Thursday that the emperor decidedly fully
after the anti-Bismarck vote to order a
new election, but was unable to get the
necessary support from the federal coun-
Gil. Not only the ENJOYS of other govern
ments, but even the majority of the Prus-
sian ministers were opposed TO a dissolu-
tion.
The German press has been equally reti-
cent as to the empeTor's talk at the mill
tary dinner in Friedrichsruhe There have
been numerous denials that he spoke di-
rectly of a dissolution and the summoning
of Gen. Count waldersee to the chanceI-
lery. They all come, however from the
same sources as the familiar corrections
of the emperor's indiscreet speeches. The
report Of the emperors indiscreet remarks
at Prince Bismarck's table was tele-
graph from Friedrichsruhe to the leading
Berlin journals a few hours after he ut
tered them. 1t was held back to await
the official confirmation, which, of course,
never came. Nobody in the political cur
rent, however. has the slightest doubt
that had not the high officials and fed
eral ENJOYS Joined in squelching the en-
peror's fiery resolves and utterances, the
country would now be in the heat of an
election campaign and cabinet crisis.
The Berlin newspapers are accustomed
to observing great reticence in any gov
eminent crisis and rarely dare mention
the fact obtained from the innermost po-
ltical circles. The truth often percolates
foreign journals in London, Vienna, or
Brussels, and then is commented on here
