between the mine-owners and their employees.
The Emperor in his speech expressed prolouhu
sorrow for the death of Dowager Empress Augusta
and paid high tribute TO her charity.
The finances of Prussia, the Emperor said' are
in a favorable condition Although the revenue
for the next few fiscal years is not expected to
equal that of 1889, the expenses will not be
decreased The matricular contributions for
1901 will be largely increased. The
present favorable conditions do not free the "oV-
ernment from relieving the future by Increasing
the redemption of the National debt. The charges
and salaries of officials especially of the lower and
middle ranks and the expenses incurred In the
interest of art, science and agriculture, Will Oc
increased. A bill providing for reform III tax

real property tax to the combined communal dis
tricts will be submitted. bill will also be sub
mitted providing for the purchase OF private rail-
ways and for the extension OF the State railway
network.
The harvest of 1880 was deficient, but owing
TO the Imperial custom arrangements regarding

will be overcome without permanent preJudlce;
A bill will be introduced providing increased
facilities for the purchase Of agricultural estates,
or for acquiring life interest therein -,
The recent strikes, the emperor sald' hao
