BERLIN. Nov. 5.-Chancellor Won Caprivi sui
mitted to the Federal Council on Friday thu
bill regulating the financial relations OF III,
empire to the federated States. The prenmbl.
Of the bill nftlrms that IL has become ecessar,
to'free the empire from dependence upon the
particular States. and therefore imperial rev.
enues must be raised by new taxes on wine
tobacco. and Bourso transactions. There IL
nothing In the bill to excite the practical or.
position Of the Federal Council excepting
the wine tax. and this will be approved
after q few concessions TO the South
German States. The scheme Of taxing
the Bourse will about double the present du-
ties. but as the Bourse unless unduly pinched.
has only small voice politically It will sub
init TO its new burdens without much protest.
On the whole DIR. MIGUEL. Prussian Finance
Minister. has guided Chancellor Won Caprivi
toward the goal with great skill
The opening proceedings of the ReichstaC
will be devoted mainly to the finance reforms
and projects for commercial treaties. They
will be dull enough, probably. The monotony
will be broken. however. when Gen. Won
6chellendorf the new Minister OF War. shall
present the imperial rescript about gambling.
Constitutionally the Reichstae has no right
to interfere with a rescript. but az this one
will be preliminary to legislation against lot
tories. race course betting. and card playing in
public houses. 1t will come. to n certain extent.
within the Parliamentary sphere OF influence.
The Opposition newspapers say the En- peror

over gambling scandal lead him to fetter the
free life OF the country. 1t is the old tendency.
they add. toward over-legislation tho moment
a sudden revelation OF vice in high quarters is
made.
The social question has never before excited
no much public discussion In Germany. The
kreuzzeit,iao. in common with other Conserva-
tive newspapers. uses the Hanover trial as an
illustration OF Hebrew dishonesty and evil in
fuence upon German life. 1t says that Jews
originated the whole plot fed the gambling
appetites of their betters. and corrupted the
officers OF the army. The law. therefore.
should deprive the Jews OF all power in finance
or anything else vital to the interests Of the
nation.
The kolnische ZeitIn0 protests against max
ing Jewish fnenciers the scapegoats OF the
scandal. and urges the enforcement OF the
edict issued by the Emperor soon after his ac-
cession to the throne against extravaRant
habits among army officers. Eugen FIGHTERS
FrPisinnige IeitunD suggests that legal enact
ments will prove poor remedies of the gam
bling evil. Despite the revelations made in
the Hanover trial. says Richter. everybody ac-
quainted with the higher social life OF Ger
many knows how rapidly gambling in the
officers corps has decreased under the

Gunrds stopped play as soon as the edict APP
peared. Then games Of hazard disappeared
from the officers clubs. mess rooms. and
casinos. Under official measures to suppress
open gambling Richter thinks private hells
would flourish. There is little doubt however.
that In the present stGte OF public opinion the
lions OF the law. would act with the greatest
energy To- suppress every trace Of the gam
