the Reichstag wrnngled for two days, although
slightly favorng the Agrarians. had not any
party inspiration, and the Government were
therefore justified In their expectations that the
measure would pass without any trouble. The
bill simply aimed to relieve the present great
depression in the sugar trade by maintaining
high export bounties until some international
agreement could be obtained with Austria and
France regulating the export premiums or
abolshing them altogether. Among other con-
siderations pointing toward an international
agreement the Government were of the opinion
that it would lead TO the establishment of an
entente with the Government at Washington
and prevent difrerential treatment of German
sugar Neither the Freisinnigc party nor the
Socialists had any genuine reason for opposing
the bill, yet party rancor melted them TO tactics
designed to block the progress of the measure.

tactics were repeated on Friday with the same de-
