LIVE TOPICS FROM BERLIN.

Berlin, April g.
TO LIMIT EMPEROR's POwER.-It is learned
from inside information that the anstrke bill an
nounced by the Emperor with a flourish at Oeyn-
hausen after hanging fire for months In the Prus-
sian and other abinets has at last found its way
to the Bundesrath. In It's present shape the meas
ure is much milder than the Emperor desired ana
the Minister Of the Interior, Count Won Posadowsky-
Wehner, denies that the bill threatens anybody
melting a strike with confinement In the peniten-
tiary adding: "Of course His Majesty does not ike
IT, but the Bundesrath would never consider such
bill as the Emperor wants"
An interesting point however. Is that the bundes-
rath seems decided upon trial or strength win
the Emperor. Constitutionally the Bundesrath
alone in the first instance has the right to decloe
the shape OF all legislation for the empire before
II IL presented TO the Reichstag. and the Bundles
rath as a body. Of course. acting under instruc-
tons from the Governments except Prussia, mas
come to the conclusion that the Emperor TOO often
and too publicly tries 70 usuTp Ihe n adysnce on
legislative projects Therefore II is necessary 10
