GERMAN FINANCES,
The Wine Tax Bill Received With
Disfavor in the Reichstag.

BERLIN. Jan. 1S.-In the Reichs.ay de-
bate to-day on the wine tax bill Count
Posadowsky, Secretary of the Treasury.
described the aim of the bill as a tax on
luxuries, and said that as the tax would
be levied on foreign wines which, owing
to the cheapness. seriously competed with
native wines the bill would be protec-
tive measure of home industry. The taxes
on sparkling and artifsial wines alone
would yield but little, and the whole tax
would not affect half the wine producers
of Germany. All the speakers who fol-
lowed opposed the bill. The Freisinnige
party and the Socialists. as we'll as the
Center party, demanded the immediate re-
lection of the proposed measure. and the
National Liberals and Conservatives de-
clared that it was not acceptable in its
present form.

1894 to the Diet to-day. The estimated re-
ceipis are 1879. AS, 391 marks, an increase

WALTHALL GOES OUT.
Resignation of thessSenior Sena-
tor From Mississippi.
The Step Was Wholly Unexpected,
Taking His Colleagues by
Surprise.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S-The most i'm
announcement of the resignation of Sena-
tor Walthall of Mississippi. 1t was
totally unexpected. and when it was laid
before the Senate with the letter of the
Senator announcing that he had for
warded his resignation to the Governor of
Mississippi, the greatest surprise was ex-
pressed on all sides. Walthall is 63 years
old and succeeded the late l.. O. C. La
mar in the Senate nine years ago. The
retirement causes general regret among
colleagues as Walthall was very popular.
WalthalPs present term would expire
March 5, 1895. but he has already been
elected for another six years. He resigns
only the unexpired portion of the present
term. and leaves to future determination
his full term following.
The legislative session was short, but
gave opportunity for the introduction of
two resolutions from Populist Senators
condemning the bond policy of the ad-
ministratioD, and later in the day in the
discussion OF the Stark monument ap-
preparation. which was passed by vote
of 32 to 10. Morgan and Daniel took occa-
sion to express their disapproyal of the
proposed bond Issue.
The remarks of Vest on the election
bill were entertaining and in his usual
pointed style. This law" said he. Twas
based on the assumption that officials of
the United States are better than the peo-
pie OF the country. an assumption that
when you take citizen of a State and
clothe him In the Federal uniform and au-
ihority he becomes better and more in
telligent man. Public sentiment is such
that State legislation of this character can
not be enforced. and the same will apply
to legislation coming from the national
Government" At the conclusion of Vests
remarks the Senate went into executive
session, and a few minutes later adjourned
till to-day.
The Senate In executive session made
public the rejection of Hon. w. b. Horn
blower 10 be Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, and J.
Scott Harrison to be surveyor of customs

The subcommittee Of the Judiciary
Committee of the House has ordered a
favorable report on the resolution Of
Bailey, declaring the Secretary of the
Treasury has no authority to issue bonds.
An attempt will be made at a meeting of
the full committee tomorrow to secure
immediate action on the subcommittee
report. In any case. however. the House
cannot act On it till the tariff bill is dis
posed of.
NEW YORK. Jan. 18.-The general
opinion of leading fnanciers of this city is
favorable to the success of the Govern
ment loan, and it is predicted that the
bonds will be subscribed for many times
over. Bids will in the majority of cases
range from 117% TO 118A, the first figures
giving brokers a small margin of profit
and the last affording the investor better
terms than by buying the present Govern
ment issues at current quotations. In
view of the fact that bonds are issued for
general subscriptions the belief is ex-
pressed by some bankers that the national
banks Will not be very largely represented
among bidders for the reason that they

issue of per cent bonds. which it is be-
lieved Congress will authorize, as afford
