Berlin, Sept. S.-The situation in in
ternal politics has been somewhat in
tensified this week. The dismissal of
several cabinet members and num-
Der of higher Prussian officials is mere
" a symptom of this. The emperor, as
king of Prussia, before starting for the
maneuvers had lengthy conversations
with Prince Won Hohenlohe the inn
perial chancellor and president of the
Prussian council of ministers. and DR..
MIGUEL, vice president of the council
and minister of finance, in which the
difficulties of the situation were thor
oughly discussed. The emperor hopes
to see the canal bill pass when it is re-
introduced with notifications at the
next session, Notwithstanding the OPP
position Of the agrarians
In this he viii probably be disap-
pointed, despite the methods employed
in disciplining the agrarians and the
government officials serving as dele
gates to the diet. The emperor is re-
solved to go to the length of forcing
the resignation Of every official, be he
high or low, who actively sympathizes
with the powerful agrarjan society. the
cumberland wirthe. This will strike
many.
To Checkmate Emperor.
AT a secret meeting of the agrarian
leaders this week it was resolved to try
to checkmate the emperor by playing
off the canal bill against the anti-Strike
measure and thus render impossible
the immediate dissolution of the diet,
for it is argued the emperor cannot rely
on the agrarians and conservatives to
father his pet anti-stril1e bill and at
the same time dissolve the diet because
the same members do not sanction an
other of his pet measures.
The agrarian leaders will do their ut
most 10 impress this upon the em-
perors mind. They also count on the
probability of the dissolution of the
reichstag on the rejection of the anti
strike bill, of which there is hardly a
doubt, as the center and the left are
resolved to bury the measure ignomin-
iously Besides. the agrarians believe
that they have a chance of defeating
the renewal Of the commercial treaties,
especially the one with Russia, or of
considerably modifying them, so as to
render them unacceptable to the other
governments. They viii insist upon a
higher tariff on Russian cereals, which
Russia will not stand. They also strong
ly hope that the commercial treaty
with the United States will not be
at its next session, and that the failure
of the other treaties will involve that
with the United States.
The Kaiser Is Furious.
In the meantime it is reported that
the emperor is furious with the agra
rians, and the Associated Press repre-
sentative here learns that his majesty
has pronounced in favor of a reiniiche
Scheduling iclear separation) between
the agrarians and the government,
saying that such party had no reason
to be in Prussia, where every govern
ment for generations has been solicitous
for the oountrys agricultural interests,
and that this class of politics has gore
about far enough. He is particularly
wroth at the way in which the agrarian
press has handled him and his cabinet.
The leading agrarian journals and
many conservative organs have been
very outspoken. The Deutche Agrar
correspondent even advised putting the
members of the cabinet submitting TO
the wishes of the emperor under par
liamentary, public and social ban until
his majesty should be unable to find
mere creatures to do his will, and
should then be obliged to take men for
ministers. The official organ of the
conservatives condemns the disciplin-
ing of officials.

An Amusing Feature.
An amusing feature of the press cam
paign against the emperor and the gov
eminent is that the conservatives, who,
while enjoying the favor of the gov
eminent, We're opposed to the constitu-
ton and parliamentarism, have now
become great friends of them. One of
the main organs of the party says:
