It oontulns the usual declarations that Germany enjoys friendly relations with 'the powers and that the aspira tions of all Europe seem to point to the maintenance of peace. A sympa thetic reference to Alexander HI.'s death Is about the only noteworthy feature of the paragraphs concerning foreign affairs. Touching domestic poli tics,, the emperor wlR emphasize tlio necessity that the government be armed against the cause of revolution, and that the full strength of the luw bo exerted to oontrel the eoclallstlc agitation. He will express hone **»* **— stag will give the government the needed support to these ends. He will mention Dr. Miguel’s ihiuuciai reforms as a new attempt to place the finances of the empire on a stable basis. Judi cial reforms, the proposals to extend workingmen's Insurance and measures to relieve the agricultural distress will be alluded to briefly. The recent min isterial crisis, which everybody would like to have explained, will be Ignored. The question of passing a memorial resolution concerning Alexander III. 'has stirred much bad feeling among tlie Imperial deputie-. Eugene Richter as usual, opposes anything that the government advocates, and says In his Freissinnlge Zeltung that the resolu tion will be against all precedents, as the deaths of foreign sovereigns here tofore have been merely announced In the relchstog In case It was la session. Whether the government will try to honor the czar's memory despite the socialistic democrat*, radicals nnd Poles remains In doubt.
