svmpathetic Reference to the Death
ofthe Late Czar About the Only Note
,vorthy Feature of the Paragraphs
about Foreign Affairs-The Govern
r,snt,s Necessity to Be Armed Against
the sociaIistic Revolution to Be EN-
,basized-Dr. Miquel's Reform Propo-
sails to Cut an Important Figure in
the Coming Session.
Berlin. Dec. 2-The speech from the
T,rone has been finally revised, and is in
i ,na form in which the emperor will read it
n the deputies next Wednesday. 1t con-
,,ins the usual declarations that Ger
many enjoys friendly relations with the
rov-ers. and that the aspirations of all
1 Furope seem to point to the maintenance
of peace. sympathetic reference to
Alexander IITs death is about the only
noteworthy feature of the paragraps con-
cerning foreign affairs.
Touching domestic politics the emperor
will emphasize the necessity that the
government be armed against the cause
of the revolution, and that the full
strength of the law be exerted to control
the socialistic agitation. He will express
4 hone that the Reichstag will give the gov
eminent the needed support to these ends.
. He will mention DR.. Miquers financial re-
n forms as a new attempt to place the
finances Of the empire on a stable basis.
n Judicial reforms, the proposals to extend
vorkingmen's insurance, and measures
10 relieve the agricultural distress will be
4 alluded to briefly. The recent ministe-
rial crisis, which everybody would like to
have explained, will be ignored.
The question of passing memorial res
olution concerning Alexander III. has
stirred much bad feeling among the inn
perlal deputies. Eugene Richter, as usual,
opposing anything that the government
advocates, says in his Freisinnige Zeitung
that the revolution will be against all
precedent, as the deaths of foreign SOW
ereigns heretofore have been merely an
nounced in the Reichstag in case it was
in session. Whether the government will
try to honor the cars memory despite
the social democrats, radicals and Poles,
remains in doubt. The social democrats
and radicals are also in league to defeat
the election of Herr Won Levetzow to be
president of the Reichstag. As in the pre-
vious session the officers of the house will
be; Herr Won Levetzow, president; Frei-
herr Won Buol-Berenberg, first vice pres
ident; DR.. Buerklin, second vice presi-
dent
The most important business of the
Rechstag, after Re anti-socialist bill, will
be Dr.. Miquels reform proposals. The
broad lines of the reform are understood
10 be: The collection of the matricular
contributions to the imperial treasury for
another year. and thereafter such an IN
crease Of imperial taxes as will partly re-
h lieve the federal states at the same time,
and the permanent regulation of the
amount of tn future federal contrl-
buttons.
The high tariff conservatives do not eX-
pect many favors, although they will con-
time to beg for them. Privy Councillor
Camp, a big man among the agrarlan
deputies has already approached Frelherr
Won Hammerstein, minister of agriculture,
with a novel project which he thinks would
solve the problem of agricultural distress
He asks that the government buy German
grain, grind it at government mills ana
sell the product abroad. The small grain
growers, he says, would be thus assured
an easy market and high prices Ihls
plan has been received in silence at lhe
ministry of agriculture. The other pro
posals of the agrarian's-such as higher
protection of sugar, beets, grain, and sim
liar farm products-have been treated in
the same manner. For the present EN-
peror William has limited Freiherr Won
Hammersteins activity to the seml-mll-
tary plan of canals which he hopes TO cut
through several Prussian districts. These
canals would benefit farming interests
greatly, but the agrarian's do not thlnK
much of them.
The anti-Semites, who hail with dellght
the coming of Count Hohenlohe and Herr
koeller, begin to mistrust both and eX-
press doubts that much more is TO be had
from the new men than from the hated
Caprivi. The .semi-oficicl newspapers
give abundant cause for this revulslon' as
they protest strongly against Jew -balting
as political practice. The ant-Senhles
mean to test Count Hohenlohe's position
py Introducing a bill forbidding the lmlnl-
grafton of Jews.
The Prince of Wales is expected to ar
IlVe here on Tuesday. Never before mas
any meeting between him and the en-
peror been associated with politics, yet
now both court and diplomatic circles con-
cur in the belief that somehow the prince
mas assumed the role of mediator Ac-
eording to dispatches from st. Petersburg
the car and czarina, after visiting CO.
penhagen in June and Osborne in July,
VIII return to st. Petersburg by way OF
Berlin. That the emperor does not look
WIN pleasure on the signs of an Anglo
russian entente is self-evident. His DIS
satisfaction has been increased by the
cocl reception given to the Prince Of Ma
Pies in st. Petersburg. AS q representa-
i've OF King Humbert and the future ruler
vi power in the triple alliance, the ltal-
ian crown prince had every reason to eX-
pect some consideration. Yet he was not
invited to the wedding, although room was
louhd for Gen. Boisdeffre and Admiral
Teryais, the French delegates. During
-ls snort stay in Potsdam the crown
plIhce told the emperor few things
,ooot the snubs given him and the cordial
R shown 20 the Frenchmen. If the
sLIhce of Wales dissipates the disagree
oole impression left by the crown prince s
.sloiy' he will do more than ever before
suppress the bad feeling among the

s.eal the Anglo-Russian understanding as
