M RflMINGRUMORS Afloat in Berlin as to Intended Action by the Headstrong Emperor, But Most of Them Are lEntirely Without Any Foundation in Fact. Caprlvl als Not iResigned, but It Is Thought He Must, Having Lost the Confidence of the Reichllstag. Bsrnir, March 21.-In consequence of the ministerial crisis the most exaggerated re ports are in circulation as to the course the emperor will follow, but.when traced to their source they are found to be utterly without foundation. Reports have been circulated as to what the emperor said and did at the meeting of ministers Thursday and scattered broadcast by sensational writers. As a matter of fact the only sources from which any information could have been derived as to what transpired were the emperor and the ministers. The latter refused absolutely to divulge any thing, and no one thinks the emperor made it his business to inform newspaper correspondents on the subject. The report started to-day that the chancellor had re signed the presidency of the Prussian coun oil of ministers, but would retain the chan cellorship. It can be said with no fear of denial that the statement is based purely on conjecture. The chancellor was sum moned to Hubertustock by the emperor to discuss what action the government should take on the primary education bill, and other matters connected with the present crisis, but there was no question as to the chancellor's resignation of either office for the simple reason that he has never ten dered his resignation. Caprivi has always held with Bismarok that the chancellor. ship of the empire and the presideocy of the Prussian council must be united, It can be further stated that the action of the emperor on the iesignation of Count Von Seidlitz Trutzschler, is not yet known even to the ministry. His majesty's decision on the re-formation of his cabinet is still known only to himself. Far f.om resigning, Chancellor Von Caprivi is seeking to prevent a disrdption of the cabinet. He will endeavor to effect a compromise by disposing of the education bill in putting it by until after the elec tions. If the country should approve the action the present crisis would be ignored, but i, the verdict is adverse a new course will be shaped. Chancellor Von Caprivi, yesterday sum moned.by.Emperor William to a confer ence at Hubertustock, returned to Berlin last night, and waited upon Dr. Von Boet. tither, vioe president of the Prussian coun cil of ministers, and conferred with him on the ministerial oriise. At a late hur it was stated positively that the emperor had' accepted the resigna tion of Count Von Seidlitz. The Kreuz Zeitung says CQaprivi's prolonged retention of office 'is impossille. Once the crisis over, he must resign, as he has lost the con fidence of parliament. The Sealers May Claim Damages. OTTAWA, March 22.-The following notice to owners and masters of British sealing vessels has been issued: "Notice is hereby given to all persons having claims for com pensation for loss or damage by reason of the expulsion from or warning out of the Bering sea under the provisions of the modus vivendi between her mafesty's gov ernment and the United States of America, during the year 1891, and that all claims must be lodged at the office of the collector of customs at Victoria, B.

A squadron of cuirassiers escorted Lord Dufferin from the embassy to the court yard of the palace of Ellree, the president's official residence. In the court yard were massed detachments of infan try, and as the British ambassador drove into the square drums were beaten anid bugles sounded.

His Answer to a Question as tc the Position of Americans in China. lReply From Rtlisblury Received and Kepl From the People--The River and alnrbor 1ill. WASermNrTorg, March 21.--Tsui Kwo Yin Chinese minister, has prepared a letter tr the secretary of state urging an early re sponse to various communications the Chi nese government has sent this government with reference to restriction on Chines( immigration. The Star to-night prints an interview with the minister, in which hr says: "For several years I have been en. deavoring to secure better treatment for my people at the hands of the (aitec States. If the United States wishes to pul a stop to Chinese immigration it should be done by means of a treaty with my coun try. For the United States to agree to i treaty providing for the admission of Chi nese and then override it by act of pongress is hardly acting in good faith. By your constitution you encourage immigration and insure fair treatment of all alike and yet your treatment of the' Chi nese is inconsistent with the constitution and the principles laid down by George Washington. The reporter asked, if the United States put further restrictions on Chinese immigration, would China exclude Americans from her territory? The answe. was a long time coming and was a diplo matic one. "It seems to me," said the minister, "'that Americans should consider the situation and withdraw from China of their own free will. I will answer your question by asking you one. Let us sup pose the American minister in Londor should say to the Chinese minister, 'yor keep away front the American legation house; I don't want you here;' do you think the Chinese minister would visit the Amern can legation any more? And do you thin) the American minister would expect a wel. come at the Chinese legation? You may draw your own inferences. The American people are talking a great deal about reci procity just now. They should remember reciprocity works two ways." WORD FROM SALISBURY. But ,What It Is Can Only Be Conjec tured. WA..mINTON, March 21.-The nature ol the reply of Lord Salisbury to the last note from the state department relative to the reresal of the mode. vivendi' for' the con. duct of the seal fisheries in the Bering see is known to nobody in Washington except the president, British minister and a few oflicials of the department of state. Even the republican members of the senate com mittee on foreign relations and the house committee on foreign affairs, who are usually informed promptly of any new phase in the negotiations, are in ignorance of the contents. The conclusion drawn by some from this is that omission on the part of the administration to inform them upon the subject is evidence that the note is not conclusive as to the main point of the con troversy, namely, the extent of protection to be afforded to seal life in Bering sea. It is believed that if Salisbury had acceded to the request bf the president for a re newal of the modus viventii the fact would have been immediately communicated to the senate. The belief of senators is that he has made the note a vehicle for the ex tension of his argument for a thirty-mile limit of protected area, proposed by him, as amply sufllicient to meet all the necessi ties of the case. One senator declared em phatically "it is only a play for time on the part of the British government." His the ory is that that government will ultimately consent to a renewal of the modus vivendi but will delay action so long that an agree mient *ill be made ineffective through the departure for the seal grounds of large numbers of Canadian vessels. This view finds many adherents among the senators. and it can be asserted safely that if this policy should become clearly defined the senate wid be a unit in supporting the ad ministration in the most energetic efforts to enforce the laws on the statute books relative to urotection of the rights of the the United States in the Bering sea. One rumor that iase many believers is that Lord Salisbury has answered the pres ident's note insisting on the necessity of a modus vivendi with a counter proposition that in case one is agreed upon the United states narees to indemnify Canadian vessel owners for losses incurred thereby. 'Tie United States has already rejected a prop-. osition of this kind. Gen. Foster, reprs- senting the state department, had two in terviews with the president on the subject to-day, and the impression is onoeral that they considered the character of the reply to be made to Saliasbry. It is pretty well established that the nresidout is not dis ioseed to recede from his position already rssumned in regard to the preservation ot tlhe seal herd, and will takes steps to socure thnt end with or without conslderation of tihe BIritish government. Another report was in circulation to night to the effect that the coommrnuicatior wias merely a short dispatchl stating that the roeRly proper to Actinig Secretary VWhnr ton's note of the 8th inst. is being prepared nild nearly reardy, and will be adverse to ihe request for a modusR vivendi. AecUid ing to thie sanlur oport, the comnulnicastionr furtie: says, iu effecot, that the British gyv rrirnentr will not interfe' e with thie pi icing of Bering sea by the United States vessels pending negotiationus for a settle irent of the questions ait issnue by arbitrra tion, though it may hereafter ask for danm nes in Liehalf of such, CIanadiar sealers Is uay seiffer by seizure or interference by Arlerloan vessels.

In the Matter of Printing Speeches Not Delivereed. WArSIINOTON, March 21.-it is likely a ° radical reform in the matter of tire privi- lege afforded members in extending their a speeches in the record will result from the investigation into the transgressions of Mr. Walker (Mass.). Ever since the see r sion opened there has been warm political rivalry between republican and democratic representatives from the Bay state, and Walker has had several lively bouts with Hoar and Williams, whom he takes pleas ure in designating alternately as "mau wamps" and "'kindergarten democrats." His interjection into the printed report of speech of some headlines about "Hot Shot for Mugwunve," etc,, caused Mr. Williams r to rise to a question of personal privilege last week and the committee on printing to-day submitted a report on the matter, accompanied by a resolution declaring that r the hoseo expresses disapproval of the on f parliamentary language used by Walker in that portionof his speech printed, although not delivered on the floor, and that the whole of the undelivered portion of the speech be exunrged from the record. The i report will be considered to-morrow. SEnloe (Tenn.) offered a resolution calling on the secretary of the treasury for a list of all persons qmployed in the coast and geo detic survey whose salaries had been in creased or decreased during 1891: also for a list of those dismissed or who had resigned during that year. Enloe said he had in formation from a discharged employe that the coast survey was in the hands of a ring. The resolution was adopted. The house went into committee of the whole on the army appropriation bill, and a long discussion took place over a point of order raisedl by Crain (Tex.) against the proviso in the bill that herearter no money appropriated for army transportation shall be used in the payment of transportation over non-aided lines owned, controlled or operated by the Union Pacific company or a by the Southern Pacific over lines embraced B in its Pacific systeui. The chair sustained the point, on the ground that the proviso made a permanent law. It was then A amended, to be made applicable only to the present bill. This was agreed to, and the committee having risen the bill was passed. The house went into committee of the whole on the free wool bill. Goodnight (Ky.) assailed the protective system in a speech of some length. Snodgrass (Tenn.) consumed his time in opposing a bill donat ing $5,000,000 to the World's fair. Senate Proceedings. WASHINGTON, March 21.-In the senate a communication from the president of the United States was received with informs, tion from the state department as to the purchase of the unpublished correspondence I and manuscripts of President Monroe. t Also two communications from the interior department, one as to the Cherokee owner ship of the Cherokee outlet; the other as to the safety of the rooms in tihe patent office endangered by the storage of heavy paper. Over half an hour was occupied in the pre sentation of memorials, most of them from states on a great variety of subjects. Among bills introduced and referred was one by 'effer, granting Fergeant Harter. First Indiana cavalry, $10,000 and a gold medal for his services in "saving Pope's army and the nation's cavital from canture try Lee's army." The same bill was intro duced in the house. Morgan offered a resolution, which was agreed to, requesting the president to com municate to toe senate the items of taxa tion imposed by the law of the republic of Colombia on products of the United States imported into Colombia, and which the president hits found and proclaimed to be reciprocally unjust to the United States and also send cories of correspondence on the subject. The senate bill to prohibit the sale and introduction of intoxicating liquors into the Indian country was passed.

Very Effective Aid of the Newa papers in Bringing Them to the Bar. Apparently a -ure Case Against Rome of ]hemn--Alderman Rtoll's Part in the Transactiouls. C(rrrc.Ao, March 21.-After three days in vestigation, the grand jury this afternoon returned a true bill against seven alder men charged with conspiracy to commit bribery in connection with various ordi nances which have been the subject of in vestigation. Those indicted are W. J. O'Brien, Daniel It. O'Brien, Nicholas A. Craemer, T. J. Gorman, Philip Jackson. 8. M. Gosslin. John M. Gorman. Two more indictments were found but not returned against the fitat named, W. J. O'Brien. They charged bribery and state that O'Brien gave Alderman Roth $1,000 to vote for the Northern Pacific ordinance and $750 to vote for the Economic Gas ordinance. Among the names of witnesses signed to the indictments is that of Hannah Larkin. In regard to this appearace of a woman in the case, State's Attorney Long necker said: "''there are certain houses of ill repute which certain aldermen visited while under the intluence of liquor, and where they talked too rmuch for their own good. Asked it more indictments mightbe looked for the state's attorney said none might be expected until the whole outfit is run down. As soon as indictments were out Judge Anihony fixed bail at $10,000. Ca piases were at once issued and placed in the hands of a deputy sheriff and this evening all those indicted except Al derman Goselin have come in and furnished bonds. Aldermen Roth to-night made public officially for the first time the part he has taken in the boodle transactions. He says he had not been long in the council until he found that ordinances were not always passed upon their merits. At the time of the pass age of tile Economic ordinance over the mayor's veto, it was found ny the boodlers that it would be necessary to bring into line some alderman whose vote originally was against it. He (Roth) was spoken to by one of the O'Briens, who said he could receive a consideration for his vote. Knowing the Daily News and other pa pers had taken a vigorous public stand against boodling, and that they would be friendly to any exposure, and with the fur ther view of bringing the corru1tionists a justice, he (Ruth) called on the tLs.y News. The matter was carefully talkd over and arrangements made for receiving the money promised in such a way that witnesses could testify to the visit tof the man who paid it. Roth says $750 was paid him in his ofliceand he immediately showed it to his bookkeeper, explaining the nature of the case. Immediately afterward he took the money to the Daily News office and in the presence of wit nesses, deposited it in the safe in a sealed envelope. 'Iwo weeks later the Northern Pacific ordinance passed the council a sec ond time.. A certain alderman from the south side informed Roth the day after that Billy O'Brien had the money and that he was to meet Billy at the Sherman house that afternoon. Roth immediately com municated the fact to the Daily News and they had the Sherman house watched. That afternoon Billy O'Brien met Roth in the hall and handed him an envelope with the word "Roth" written on the outside of it. Roth went over to the office of Baker, attorney for the Tribune, and telephoned for representatives of other papers. The envelope was opened in their presence and found to contain two $500 bills, which were again sealed up and placed with other money. ltoth says he took no money at any time for any other purpose than with the idea of exposing the corruption existing, and has profited in no Way other thran in the feel ing of satisfaction that follows duty well performed. Not one of the indicted alder- men would talk this evening, other than to profess ability to prove entire innocence. In the face of possible imprisonment for a number of them, members of the city council, at the regular weekly meeting to night, exhibited a disposition to be face tious, but the proceedings were rather sub dued. One member of the council finally introduced an order that the corporation counsel be instructed to assist the state's attorney ill any manner possible in investi gating boodling.
