A lengthy program of legislative work has been drawn up for the i'm perial parliament to deal with on its reassembly after the long summer vacation, although it is fully expected that most of 1t will be carried over to the succeeding Reichstag, to be elected at the end of the year. In the first place, a bill to reform the railroad ticket tax. which in its pres ent form gives rise to considerable complaint, will occupy attention. Then comes a bill to provide for per sons injured while rescuing others from peril, while better provisions for sailors hurt during their duty aboard ship is to be asked for. Fur ther bills deal with the liability of surface-car companies for accidents, and amendments of the espionage laws and the patent laws are to be presented. A very stringent measure for the punishment of food adultera- tors has also been nled.

 While the price paid the southern states for their participation in the lottery Is large, Prussia can well af- ford it, the net annual revenue from the state lottery being about $2.500,- 600. The annual receipts of the lot tery, which now are more than $S1,- 6O0,000, will of course be largely in- creased when the safe of the tickets can be ppushed in the south German states, an increase from the present number of 3SO,O00 tickets included in each semi-annual drawing to 450.O0o or 460.00 being contemplated.
