BERLIN, April 3O.-[Copy right, 1899, by
the New York Associated Press. The
latest reports from all the industrial CEN
tres in Germany show every prospect OF
peaceful May-day celebration. The au
thorities have taken every precautlon to
prevent any disturbance and the police
will be centred at every important point,
ready to act upon the first Indication of
disorder. Enormous excursions to the
country will be made from every large
town. The fetes in Berlin include con-
certs, chorus singing, and fireworks. The
Socialists have engaged sixty beer houses,
at which the landlords have IN
waters. Leading Socialists oppose
any illegal action. declaring If the Anarch-
lists attempt to create disorder, the Social
lists will be the first to deliver them to the
police. The Independent Socialists have
decided to hold separate demonstration.
Only at Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Lu
beck will be professions be allowed.

Debates upon the reassembling of the
landtag lack their expected interest. The
Il Conservatives and Centrists appear timid
ana did not definitely define Their position
toward the government, and confined them
selves to acrimonious speeches censurlng
the government for the withdrawal of the
primary educational bill, while the Pro
gressiouists unanimously predicted the tri-
umph Of the Liberals at tie general cleo
ton.
The financial reforms proposed by Rerr
!, Miguel, minister Of finance, will shorty be
debated in the landtar. They are certain
, to meet defeat or bitter opposition. The
schemes will be attacked as a piece OF
state socialism. He proposes TO make the
income TAX progressive, eXempting small
incomes, and he will also introduce n "
tax making interest puy more in proportion
than earnings. Minister MIGUEL expects
the increase III the revenues thus obtained
will enable MIN to resign the taxes on LAND

a unpopular proposal is to create tax or

attack. Probable in the face of the oppo-
