t AN ALLEGED IRI81I AMEIUCAN SOCIETY
S LoxnoNNovember 20.-The Standard
publishes a long letter from a correspondent -
pendent , whose good faith it states to be
beyond question and who professes to be
a member of ant American-Irish secret
society. The writer regrets having
, join d the organization and says every
o watches the other , that he is a paid
cor receiving thirteen dollars weekly ,
' that ho must keep himself acquainted
m with the whereabouts of 228 men who
are under him and to whom ho is
required to hand sealed orders , that
everything is done with the greatest se-
. creey by ballot , and no one knows the
other's business , although several may
have similar tasks to perform. The writer
believes some omployos of the postolGco
are members of the society , as it is
down at headquarters whom a ntom-
b receives a letter , from where
.an also from whm. He says
"the ' ¼ 1d moan" has now reorganized

some now movement is contemplated , as

tyranny. When the oath is t.mken the

TIIE PRUSSIAN DIET.
BERLIN , November 20.-Time Prussian
Diet was opened today by Van Putka-
mner , Minister of Limo Interior. The
speech from the throne sot forth that the
financial situation had improved and the
working of time railways by time state had
resulted in the accumulation of a considerable -
erablo surplus , 'Pine now budget
i . does not make any claim upon
time credit of the state , but
' a certain disproportion continues
in regard to time resources in the treasury ,
as compared with the dunmatd upon it
i arising from the pressure of communal
charges , and thu inadequacy of salaries of
public officials. The spoeclt announces a
) bill taxing incomes derived from property -
ty and of measures for time further pur
chase of railways by the State.
In view of the fact that time imperial
budget fixes a much smaller matricula-
tory contribution , and that a larger revenue -
nue is expected from time customs duties
and the tobacco tax , it has boon possible
to frame time budget for 1884-85 so as to
! rracirpn equilibrium between receipts
laud oxpeuditures. The speech concludes
by summoning the diet to address itself
to its labors in securing an assured
peaceful state of affairs throughout the
country. The budget estimates time receipts -
ceipts and oxpendituresof time fiscal years
188.1-85 at 1,112,800,000 , I arka each.
ADVERSE CIIITICIBI.
Time proposed bill for the taxation of
incomes referred to in the royal speech at
Limo opening of time diet applies only to
incomes from porsoim 1 property. Mom-
' bera of the chamber of deputies received
. ? the spoeclm coldly. They complain that
time passage doaltng whim bills mm taxation
is pat clear. Time liberal newspapers
citiciso the speech adversely , saying that
it does not .
satisfy public curiosity con.
corning the real taxation ; that time pro.
gramme is generally colorless and iustg-
nilicant , mind that the proposed bill taxing -
ing interest accruing from capital will not
obtain a majority m the lower house of
the diet , especially while landed property -
erty romaums exempt from impost.
