burdens Of Ministerial work have now de-
volved upon the shoulders Of DIR. Johannes

and RelchstaR the Prussian Finsnce Minister
will lead the Govern m ent's advance guard
against powerful opposition. embittered by
Its recent defeat at the Chancellor's hands aud
reused By the new tax bills TO increasing
activity.
The outlook for Miduel's fourfold financial
reform has grown worse with every passing
day since the beginning OF the Easter recess.
The holiday lull in politics has been hardly OBJ
served by the Conservatives Although men
Of other parties have been willing enough to
suspend hostilities. the fsudal noblemen oithe
hreu1zeitun1 group have declared increasingly
their determination to continue their cam
paign against the Chancellor and his asso-
cistes No opportunity to embarrass the Gov
eminent proposals will be omitted. In the
Prussian LandtaR. where MIGUEL counts
many Conservatives among his friends
he will find the party intent upon wicck-
ing his plans The great Prussisn land
owners will oppose even the grant OF
1900. 900 marks to conf lets the Elbe-Trave

Prussian budget has q large deficit In pri-
vate they acknowledge virtually that their
purpose 10 to spite the Emperor whose heart
is set upon extending Germany's canal sys-
tenn both for military and com mercial ends.
DIR. MIGUEL hopes to check mate this part Of
the Conservative plan by showing an unex-
pected surplus In the accounts Of the State
railways. This surplus. he hopes. will cover
the bulk OF the deficit and cut away the
ground from the Conservative pretenslons
There is little sign that anything unex pected
will occur to help the Finance Minister in his
contest with the RelchstaR. and the rejection
Of the tax bills will surprise nobody. In the
Ministerial circle. however. the conviction Is
that the Government will not regard the de-
feat OF the bills as iustifyine q dissolution OF
the Reichstag. A defeat would be followed
probably By q revision OF the whole plan and
the insertion OF . proposal for heavier beer

pass the bills as presented. He is ready to
adapt himself to the political situation. al
though convinced that his existing projects
are the best possible. and ultimately must DO
