acceptable on account of the party de-
bates upon it. The result was that the
debate on the measure III the reichstag
was quite languid, and the benches
were almost empty in view of the GER
tainty of the ultimate rejection of the
bill. Baron Bulach, Conser, alive,
speaking OH behalf of the numerous
wine growers of the reichslaud, ener-
getically protested against the measure,
declaring that the regulations would
control the growers in all intOlerabie
manner, and that wine in the reichsland
was not luxury, but necessity of
life.
According to Baron Bulach over 30
600 hectares of vineyards, employing at
least 100000 persons, would be affected
by the new tax, and q feeling of violent
discomfort had already been aroused at
the prospect of the growers bearing the
brunt OF the taXation.
A positive sensation was caused in
the Ieichstag this afternoon by the dec
laration of Baron Mittracht. premier of
Wurtemburg. that the government of
Wurtemburg could not accept the wine
tax bill. The premier added that his
government would not object to tax
on sparkling and artificial wines, butre
used to support the III easure in
ITS PRESENT FORM.
Herr Nordotf, Imperialist. thereupon,
in view of Premier Mittracht's startling
announcement, demanded all adjourn
ment, but not obtaining sufficient sup
port, the debate was continued.
Count POsadOwsky admitted that the
Wurtemburg government had from the
beginning pursued loyal course, and,
while it did not conceal its hostility to
| the bill. it sent its representative to
Berlin in order to take part III the
elaboration of that measure.
After further debate the bill was re-
| ferred to committee in spite of the OPP
position of the radical parties. The
| Berlin social season has been especially
gay this year owing to its shortness.
Every evening has seen two or three
social festivities. The Japanese prince,
k0matsu, has been the ociety lion
| during the past week. Emperor Will
lam has decorated him with the grand
| cross of the. he'd Eagle, and entertainS
him at dinner at the palace tonight.
| Following an lntlmatiOn received from
the 3emperor,the gayotte was introduced
| as a novelty at the first ball at the castle
this season. This brought the gayotte,
together with the minuet, into every
stylish salon in Berlin, but the slow,
| theatrical attitudes and sepulchral
music do net meet with much favor, and
are not likely to become a lasting insti-
tuition in Berlin ball rooms.
