Berlin. Sept. 9.-The situation In In
ternal politics has been somewhat in-s NJ
tensitied this week. The dismissal of
several Cabinet members and numberz
OF Prussian officials Is merely a sympSk
tom Of this. The Emperor, as King s. t IL
Prussia, before starting for the man
oeuvres. had lengthy conversations q;
With Prince Won Hohenlohe, the sImHe
rial Chancellor, and president OF the sfs
MIGUEL vice president of the councfl
Minister Of Finance. in which the difff-
culties of tho situation We're thoroug h-Saa;
~ discussed. sss3
THE EMPERoR's REsoLyE:.
The Emperor hopes to see the canal s
bill, when DIT Is reiptroduced with modi4s
fications ut the next session, pass, notasSs
withstanding the opposition OF the
Agrarians. In this he will probably DO
disappointed, despite the methods EN-
ployed in discipling the Agranans and Sssss
the Government officials serving as dels g
egate to the Diet. The Emperor Iis a
resolved to so to the length Of forcing sa.
high or low who actively sympathi zers3
with the powerful Agrarian society, tho Il
Bund Der Landwirthe. This will strike
many. Al ifg3 55ts5
HE MAY BE CHECKAfATED.S
AT n secret meeting of the AgrnriapSs
leaders this week 1t was resoly to
try to checkmnte the Emperor by playta
Ing off the canal bill a gains IS
strike measures md thus Eend sc; ImpQsss
sible the Immediate sdfsso lu tlons Of thu
Diet. for It Is argued that the Emperor
cannot rely on the "A grarians and COM
servatives to father, his pet ant -strlks4
bill and Mt the same time dissolve thasS
Diet because the same members doSnoeSS
sanction another OF his pet me asures!SS
The Agrarian leaders will dc heir
utmost to impress this upon the SEni-Ss
peror's mind. They also count 3 upon "
the probability Of the dissolution of thasi,
Reichstag on the rejection OF the anti
strike bill, Of which there Is hardly 81
doubt, as the Center and the Left ar ass
resolved to bury the measure ignomllnt-
ously. 81 Il ~ g. as5
The COMMERCIAL TREATIES.&Ss
Besides the Agrarians believe that
they have chance OF defeating the re-
newal OF the commercial treaties, esss
pecially the one with Russia, or Of con- s
siderably modifying them so as to rent Il
der them unacceptable to the otherSs
governments. They will insist upon IA h
higher tariff on Russian cereals which
Russia Will not stand. They also Z,
strongly hope that the commercial treas:
ty with the United States will nUt be Ii
ready Tor presentation to the .ReIchsta gR
at us next SESSION and that the YaIluFaas
or tho other treaties will inv olive that &
With the United States.
