! BERLIN. Oct. THE Chancellor's conference
1 with the Emperor at Hubertusstock was fin.
ished on Friday evening. The Emperor as.
! scented to the Ministerial draft Of the Parlia-
mentary programme, and the Ministerial Coun-
ell will act finally on the Chancelor's proposal
next week.
Among the bills to I've laid before the imperial
Deputies are those for new tobacco taxes. Tor
the regulation Of bourse and loan transactions
and for the better control OF political meetings
and publications. The Bourse bill will propose
the abolition or Limitation OF time bargains,
and Is certain TO arouse the strong opposition of
the Radicals and many Liberals. The tobacco
tax reform Ia the most generally discussed OF
all the new measures. Already Its opponents
have concentrated upon it-all the antagonism
which was set up last winter against DIR. Mi
quel's reform programme. The K6inischs Zei-
tung says the Social Democrats are preparing n
campaign book on the ine1pediency and unpop-
ularity OF the proposed tar, have divided DER
many into fourteen districts for the purpose OF
aRitating against II, and will hold a grand ma
tional meeting in Berlin to denounce 1t day or
two before IL Is to be presented to the Reichs-
tag. One reason for this opposition IL that the
Social Democrats have more men in the lower
classes Of the tobacco trade than has any other
party. The chief reason, however, Is that the
Socinlists think the occa.iop opportune for m
loud protest against any increase OF taxation.
The Social Democratic Central Committee has
given out thousands OF leaflets comparing the
taxes affecting the masses with those paid by
the classes The results Of this activity are
