Berlin, Oct. 23.—The German gov- ernment, the Associated Press is in- formed, will not propose to the reichs- tag an increase in the, navy beyend the additions previously determined upon, which were six large cruisers and thirty-five torpedo boats. Recent incidents in German-British relations have not, therefore, influenced the gov- ernment’s immediate naval policy ex- cept that unusually heavy outlays will be asked for the equipment of naval stations, new docks, etc. These exj penditures are all that Germany can conveniently afford. The finance min- ister has been preparing during the past six months a readustment of the taxation scheme involving the develop- ment of fresh sources of revenue, but an imperial loan will also he necessary to balance the l)udget of 1906.

G. B. Silverman, attorney for the Brewing company, said: “There were many reasons for the faiiure. Most important of all, I think,| was this wave of reform in Kansas City. It has been hard enough for the| breweys in Missouri, but worse in Kansas. They are closing up the joints on the Kansas side and locking the saloons on the Missouri side on Sunday.” BRIEF BITS 6F N_EWS. Dr. Alfred H.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 23.—On account of continued meetings at-universities, with steadily increasing attendance, especially of workmen and other non. students, which are not only. devoted to the anti-government propaganda but also place the participants in grave danger in case of fire or panic, Em- peror’ Nicholas summoned a special i conference of the ministers to discuss the right of assembly with especial reference to university meetings. The conference declared that the imme diate promulgation of a new statute governing the right of assembly was i imperatively necessary.
