BEBEL’S BOLD UTTERANGE.
[here Is 9. Prospect That the German'
Socialist Leader \Vill He Prosecuted '3
by the Governmlent—The Tor-
rible Distress in Russia.
LONDON, Oct. 20.—The Tories are much
elated over the news from Tipperary to
the effect that the Ponsonby tenants are
seeking to come to terms. with their land-
lord, and that the Tipperary tempts have
turned against Father Humphreys and
called upon Archbishop Croke to‘ remove
him. Father Humphreys has been the
chief of the plan of campaign and boycot-
ting movement in, Tipperary, and of late
he has been particularly bitter against
those tenant-s who have paid their rent
and made peace with the landlord. He is
also a pronounced anti-Parnellite.
The tenants who have paid their rent
have got tired of the father’s bitter criti-
cisms on their course and have presented
to Archbishop Croke the square issue as to
whether a. priest so conducting himself
shall be retained in the parish. Consider-
able interest is felt as to what will be the
archbishop’s decision. The cause of the
change in the attitude'of the evicted ten-
ants is undoubtedly the new Irish land
law, which the tenants are anxious to take
advantage of before any others can take
their places.
The Tories are also elated over the news
from Ulster, where the Conservatives or
Loyalist faction is more than holding its
own in the registration, while the Nation-
alists show a lack of the earnestness
which existed beforethe Parnell division.
Babel in Hot ‘Vator.
BERLIN, Oct. ‘30. —'l‘he utterance of the
socialist leader, Babel—“Yet another
twenty years and we will be masters of
Gerinany”-—i.-i severely commented on in
Official circles, and there is some prospect
of Bebel’s prosecution for laese majestas,
by putting; a forced and treasonable con-
struction on his words. The triumph of
the moderate element in the congress is
not pleasing to the enemies of socialism,
who would much prefer that the oppo-
sition had carried the day, and alienated
people by their extravagant menaces of
revolution.
The extraordinary growth of the social-
ist vote from 101,92”? in 1871 to 1,341,587 in
1890, is quoted as showing that there is
something more than brag in Bebel’s
prophecy and that the time may not be
distant when the state, as now constitut-
ed, may be engaged in a life struggle with
socialism.
Russia’s Dire Distress.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. tau—Alarming
news comes from Moscow, Kiefi‘ and other
:ities of the empire regarding the diS<
iz-essed condition of trade and commerce.
The famine in the provinces has its coun—
icrpart in the general stagnation of busi-
ness in commercial centers. In Kieff alone
:he past week has witnessed a. score of
failures, and in Moscow and St. Peters-
ourg‘ the situation is deplorable.
The commercial troubles are in part due
so the expulsion of the Jews, as Jewish
merchants have been calling in their ac-
:ounts and preparing for the apparently
inevitable day when they would be ordered
so the pale. The famine is the chief cause
of business distress, as trade with the
stricken provinces has almost entirely
teased.
Thirty Small Boats Wrecked.
DUBLIN, Oct. 20.—At Queenstown a gale
has been raging with extraordinary vio-
.ence. Thirty small boats have been
wrecked and a large amount of property
destroyed by wind and waves. A lifeboat
in attempting to put out to the relief of
imperiled people has been badly damaged.
The sea has entered and flooded many
parts of Youghal, and the Blackwater, to
add to the difficulties and dangers of the
situation, has overfloodcd its banks, caus-
.ng much damage to property and the loss
of many head of sheep and cattle by
drowning.
The Pope Deeply'Grieved...
ROME, Oct. 20.——The pope has written a
lett’en’to .M. Harmel, the organizer of the
recent pilgrimages of French workmen to
this city, expressing bitter grief at seeing
the French pilgrimsf'fabandoned without
provocation to the attacks of an, ungov-
zrnable populace.” His holiness add53that «
as is deeply grateful to the pilgrims who
mum to Rome and “to" those who are pre-
vented from coming by violence and in-
.quitons hatred.” The pope sends his
blessing with the letter.
' Premier Parkes Resigns; ' ' .
SYDNEY, N. S. W., Oct; 20.—Sir Henry
Parkes, premier of New South Wales, has
resigned in consequence of the defeat of
the government on Thursday last when it
opposed a motion for the return of the
sill regulating the mining laws to the
Iommittee which had considered it, in or-
ier that the eight hour labor clause might
3e eliminated. The house then adjourned
with the understanding that the cabinet
would resign.
Belgium “’ill Be Neutral.
PARIS, Oct. 20.—The Gaulois publishes
ihe result of an interview with Leopold II,
King of the Belgians, in which that mon-
Irch denies with indigo atiou that a. secret
ireaty has been concluded“ between Bel-
gium and Germany. Belgium, the king is’
reported as saying, will maintain a strict
neutrality in the event of a. conflict be«
iween France and Germany.

Don M. Dickinson Deposed.
DETROIT, Oct. 20,—The action of the
Democratic convention in deposing ex-
Postmaster General Don M. Dickinson as
the leader of the Michigan Democracy is
:he political sensation of the hour. A
large element of the state Democracy has
been opposed to Dickinson for some time,
out. he did not have the faintest suspicion
that this opposition had gained such
strength.

BALMACEDA REPORTED ALIVE.
[‘wo Members of His Stafl‘ Assert-That
He Is Not Dead. :
CINCINNATI, Oct. 20.—-Dr. Francis Rivers
and Signor Carlos Del Rio, late of the
military stafi? of President Balmaceda, of
Chili, arrived here, and took the Pan
Handle train for New York. Neither
could speak a. word Of English. They had
with them Mr. Louis BlOch, of California,
an interpreter. Through him they said
Balmaceda was not dead, all reports of
suicide to the contrary notwithstanding,
and that they expected to meet him either
in New York or in Europe.
Signor Pedro Montt, who represented
the Congressional party of Chili at Wash-
ington, has been here a. couple of days on
business, the nature of which he did not
divulge.
Edison's Latest Invention.
NEW YORK, Oct. '20.—Wizard Edison’s
latest invention, it is said, will obviate the
difficulty in the attainment of high speed
on the Ordinary steam railway, which is
the interference of steam. The injection
and exhaust of the steam into and fi'om
the cylinders is so rapid in its alternation
that beyond a certain limit it is impOssi-
ble to work, and this is an inherent defect
in all steam propulsion. In the new elec-
tric motor this difficulty vanishes, and the
limit of speed is only that of the endur-
ance of the machinery and the strength of
the tracks. With this invention of Mr.
Edison’s a speed of 100 miles or more an
hour will be more easily attained than the
ordinary speed of fifty or sixGSr miles an
hour. Negotiations are now in progress
for the application of the system to one of
the long lines of railWay.
Defendant and \Vitnesses Arrestedn
BOSTON, Oct. 20.——There vvasfia sensation
in the superior criminal court here at the
trial of Enrico Cirro, of 20 Salem street,
charged with a violation of the liquor law.
Officers Sexton and Stager testified to hav-
ing bought lager beer on the prisoner’s
premises. For the defense Cirro and eight
other witnesses with suspicious unanimity
contradicted this evidence. After the law-
yers on both sides had concluded their
arguments and the jury had retired, Judge
Bond said he thought the defendant and
his witnesses had all committed perjury
and he directed their arrest.
Ten Thousand Dollars for a Leg.
BOSTON, Oct. 20.——In the superior court
the jury in the case of'George H. Brooks
versus The N. Ward company rendered a
verdict of $10,000 for the plaintifi, who had
sued to recover$15,00,0 damages on account
of an accident on May 14, 1890, while he
was acting as mate of the barkentine Alice
H. Dickerman. I’Vhile his vessel was be-
in g towed into this port by- the tug Francis
J. Ward, which is owned by the N. Ward
company, Mate Brooks’ leg was caught by
a hawser and so severely injured that am-
putation was necessary.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex., Oct. 20.—For
some time past there has been a. large
amount of railroad material on the ground
Of the Corpus Christi and South American
Railroad company in this city. This prop-
erty is owned by the Pan—American Con-

Mussey Succeeds Boynton.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—Colone1 Fred D.
Mussey, late of New York, has taken
charge of the Washington bureau of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, in place
of General Boynton, resigned. Colonel
Mussey is well known as abrilliant writer
and journalist, and his years of experience
in Washington eminently fit him for the
new position. Colonel Mussey was very
popular in New York, and has always
been a big man on Newspaper row at the
capital.
A Woman Murdered.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Oct. 20.—Mrs. G.
Fussell, the wife of a laborer at that place,
was found dead, with her head gushed and
finger marks on her throat. The woman

children while her husband went out for a
walk. The child is the only witness to his
mother’s death, but is too hysterical to
tell anything, being greatly afiected.
Thomas Robertson, 3. colored man, and
William Roberts have been arrested on
suspicwn.
A Lumber Firm Fails.
SAGINAW, Mich, Oct. 20.—'—-In order to
prevent the issuing of attachments and to
protect the forty-five creditors of the firm,
Robert B. McKnight has been appointed
receiver of the Owen Hutchinson Lumber
company’s plant and interest, and has
filed a bond of $50,000. The liabilities are
about $90,000, and the assets about $80,000.
The failure is due to the decline of the
lumber trade here.

STEELE T0 socorrn RAUM.
It Is Reported That the Ex-Governor of
Oklahoma Will Be Appointed Com-
missioner of Pensions—Italy
and American Pork.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. ——For the first
time since Mr. Blaine left here in May
last his residence on Madison place, Oppc
site Lafayette square, is open and signs of
life are visible. All the shutters are
thrown wide and the window shades are
up. Inside there is a general cleaning go-
ing on, for the house has been closely shut
all summer, and any housewife knoWs
what dirt and (lust can accumulate in a.
few months.
On Friday last the butler came down
from Augusta. and began preparations for
the housecleaning. Like all persons con-
nected with the secretary or the state de-
partment, this servant is .excessively dip-
lomatic. He answered the : bell Monday
when inquiry was made at the house for
news of the family, but that was about all
he did. A broad and comprehensive
smile played over his face when asked if
he had any news from the family, and he
answered: “I don’t know.” .
“When does Mr. Blaine return?”
"I don’t know,”he said, with a. broad
grin.
“Are any members of the family in
town?”
"I don’t know,” was all he would say.
“Are you cleaning up preparatory to
their return ?”
“I don’t know,” he again repeated, and
then added, “’Deed, sir, I ain’t talking.”
And he smiled an adieu and closed the
door. __
Joseph H. Manley, of Augusta, who was
here last week, evidently came to prepare
things for Mr. Blaine’s return, and he is
the authority for the statement that Mr.
Blaine hopes to come here by the last of
this week, or, at any rate, by the let of
November. It all depends upon the
weather and Mr. Blaine’s condition, al-
though Mr. Manley says he is in first class
condition.
Steele May Succeed Baum.
It is reported here that Major George W.
Steele, of Marion, 1nd,, who has resigned
from the governorship of Oklahoma, is on
his way here to accept the commissioner-
ship of pensions tosucceed General Raum,
who has expressed a. willingness .to retire
whenever the president ,desires the place
for another man.
Major Steele was by his friends made an
active candidate for the commissionership
of pensions before and immediately after
I‘anner’s administration, and really ex-
pected the office in the first place. The
president, however, while recognizing his
abilities and general good qualities, did
not regard Steele’s education as just the
kind necessary to a successful administra-
tion of so vexed an office as that of pen-
sions.
Steele is a good politician, a. man of cour-
age and integrity, but is not that smooth,
suave and farseeing executive officer neces-
sary in the opinion of the president for
the pension bureau. It may be that he
has changed his mind and is willing to
appoint him now, but those who know
the operation of the president’s mind
loubt it. The resignation of Steele from
the governorship of Oklahoma was antici-
pated by him long before General Raum’s
retirement was discussed.
American Pork in Italy.
The state department has not been offi-
tially advised of any action in regard to the
admission of American pork into Italy.
While it is not doubted that the embargo
has been, or will soon be, removed, the
official notification has not reached the de-
partment yet.
The Canadian Political Muddle.
OTTAWA, Oct. 20,—It is stated here that
Premier Abbott has received the resigna-
tion of all the members of his cabinet, who
have taken this action because of the con-
templated reconstruction of the ministry.
The prime minister is thus enabled to not
freely, and either accept or decline the
