Al the conclusion Of the reading OF tne

| supported the Chancellors upon the Inore
material questions, and would continue
10 pursue the same policy. They would
follow that course with prudence, now
| over i'm the view OF the muta oility or
| certain human reasons. and the latter-oay
instability OF ministerial places.
Count Posadowsky called attention 10
| charge made by Herr Richter In bis paper
| that the Government had made an ar'l-
| fetal budget showing a deficit, whlle there
was really a surplus. This charge Is eni-
phatically denied. He admitted that
surplus existed. but this was due, he
said, to the Unexpectedly large revenue
realized from the Bourse tax.
