The Emperor Karl, • in a rescript, states that the Rciclisrath must be convoked on July 16, whether •: Dr. Seidler has u majority or not. Dr. • Seidler declares that lie does not want to govern with Article XIV of the Con- '■ stitution—which means a military dictf)/torship—but will use it to prevent Par- i liament hampering tho affairs' of State.— ' Aus.-N.Z.
