‘ England Ever Alert.
The report from Europe that Eng-
land is bargaining with Turkey for
Crete and has offered for the possession
of the larger island Cyprus and $60,-
000,000 cash, emphatically deserves to
be characterized as important if true.
The island of Crete or Candia has an
area of 2,949 miles and a population of
not far from 300,000 souls; but its im-
portance lies neither in its size nor the
number of its inhabitants but in its
position with reference’to the possibili-
ties of the Eastern question. If this
report about Crete should prOve true,
and it should be given over by the Sul-
tan to England, Russia’s Black Sea
fleet would be but so much wasted iron
and money so far as general operations
would be concerned, and Russia’s here~
ditary rival would have a point in per-
“ manent possession whence she could
readily reinforce threatened Constan-
tinople.

Through Foreign Spectacles.
The Glasgow Herald, one of the
most observant papers in the United
Kingdom, so far as American affairs are
concerned, summed up the political
situation in this country, as indicated
by the recent election, quite accurately
and within two days after the elections
were over. Its diagnosis of the causes
which led to Democratic defeat does
not cover the whole case not take par-a
ticular note of many local influences
that had to do with the‘i'is‘eénlt; but
nothing is more to the point than what
it says of the tariff as a factor in the
contest:
“It would be rash to conclude that
the change in the balance of party
marks a popular revolt from tariff re-
form, although it is sufficiently singu.
lar that Mr. Wilson, theauthor of the
new tariff. has been unseated in West
Virginia. The sudden change is cer-
tainly not indicative of thatpopular
tendency toward free trade which some
people fancy they have seen in Amer-
i'ca, for the Republican party is avow-
edly high tariff, not for revenue pur-
poses, but for the protection of native
industries. The fact seems merely _to
be that the commercial and industrial
classes are weary of the endless bicker-
ings over and tinkerings of the tariff,
and want a period of repose in which
to work up their languishing trade.
Nothing is so detrimental to business
as the ever-impending prOSpect of po—
liiical and fiscal changes. The Demo-
crats have failed to effect stability, and
are indeed, committed. to a number of
amending bills, the controversy over
which will still further irritate and un-
settle certain industries. Hence the
disposition seems to have taken firm
hold to have done With the tariff in the
new Congress, and to let things rest
for awhile. In present Circumstances,
and before the evidences of improvmg
trade, it is not likely that the Republi-
cans will attempt to go back to the
McKinley tarifi", and they are still more
unlikely to propose any abatements on
the Wilson tariff.”
Our Glasgow contemporary is un-
doubtedly right in its view that there
is nothing in the sudden political
change which has been wrought in the
United States to indicate any popular
tendency whatever toward free trade.
Even had the Democartic party achieved
the victory it would not have been re-
garded as a triumph of free trade. be-
eause the American tendency in that
direction is very slight, and has never
been formulated into any definite plan
of action.
Mr.Moreton Frewen,it will be remem-
bered, thought Mr. Wilson’s London '
speech was pitched to a free trade key,
and prophesied of it that it was more
likely to prove the “swan song” than
the harbinger of any such extreme pol-
icy. If Mr. Frewen translated the re
marks of the distinguished Congress-
man correctl‘y, he was equally correct
in his prediction. The chorus of‘ Rep-
ublican antagonism to the Wilson tar-
iff was the swan song of revenue reform.
But as a matter of fact, there are not
many free traders in this country in the
sense of being open advocates of free
legislation. There may be many such
in theory, but none to speak of in Con-
gressfi; and it will be fortunate for our
peopleif the tariff reformers of all de-
nominations, take a rest from their
agitation. As the Glasgow Herald
. says ; “Nothing is so detrimental to
business as the ever impending pros-
pect of political and fiscal changes.”

The closing entertainment at the
Opera House last night. was like the
first evening, a gratifying success. The
Bridgeport musical and declamation
gave added pleasure to the audience
while the ladies smiled their sweetest
smilesin beguiling the poor men into
purchasmg their attractive commodi-
ties. The food and fancy tables seem-
ed to enjoy a monopoly of custom, and
yet a goodly number of holiday articles
were reserved for future sale at a date
nearer the holidays. The returns are
not all in yet but the ladies expect to
be able to realizo some three or four
hundred dollars to aid in the maintain-
ance of our everyway worthy YIM. C.

The Medical Examination Contra-
dicts the Girl’s Story.
The case of Charley Hong, charged
with criminally assaulting ten yeanrold
Bertha Kline, came up before Justice
Keeler yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock,
Attorney Joseph Taylor appearing for
Hong./ An adjournment of the case
until Monday afternoon next was taken
and Lee Yor, of New York, qualified
as Hong’s bondsman in the sum of
$2,000. ,
No testimony was introduced but
Drs. Burke and Kennedy were present
to make a statement as to the result of
their examination. When seen by a
GAZETTE representative they both stat-
ed that their examination contradicted
the girl’s statement of having been
criminally assaulted.
Hong emphatically denies the girl’s
statement and insists that he never saw
her before he was taken into her pres-
ence in Attorney Honnecker’s office.
From all that can be learned of the
young girl she is not to be believed
under any circumstances.
It is learned that on last Saturday
Mrs. Kline visited Justice George D.
Keeler’s for the purpose of having
Bertha sent to the Industrial school
and that during her second visit to
Keeler the girl’s story was repeated to
him and he said that he would havethe ,
Chinaman arrested, which he did. Mrs, '
Kline stated to a GAZETTE representa-
tive this morning that she did not make
a. complaint against the Chinamen nor
did she have him arrested, Judge Keel-
er having done so and the first she
knew of rI—Iong‘s arrest was when’they
came to the house yesterday after
Bertha.
It was further learned from Mrs.
Kline that Bertha had told her that she
had been in the laundry on three other
occasions, which would occount for
her knowledge of the premises. Bertha
herself stated that all the Chinaman
ever did was to take her on his lap and
hug and kiss her.
The statement of Mrs. Kline throws a
new light on the affair and places Jus-
tice George D. Keeler in the position
of haviag caused Hong’s arrest and
then'sitting as the Judge in the case to
obtain a paltry fee.
It is quite evident that when the
case come to trial Justice Keeler will
not attend the hearing in an official
capacity.

Mr. M. B. Curtis the famous “Sam’l
of Posen,” will make his bow before
an audience next Friday night, Dec.
7th, at the Opera House, in his funny
character of “Sam’l.” While the title
and theme of the story remains the
same it has; undergone a complete
revision and rewriting and has been
materially strengthened in plot and
dialogue and is in every particular
thoroughly up-to-date and funnier than
ever and from present indications of
the advance sale the capacity of the
theatre will be tested to its utmost.
irovr’s OPERA HOUSE.
For Saturday evening next Manager
Hoyt announces Chas. F. Blaney’s
musical farce, “A Run on the Bank”

“A Run on the Bank” has made an in-

fast and furious but of a refined order.
The story is interesting and well told.
The situations are exceedingly ludi.
crous, and there is a. whirl of fun in the
performance that is described as fe-
freshing and health promoting.The two
lords i'mpersonated by Ward and Vokes
keep the audience in a continuous
roar. The ladies of the company are
said to be pretty and to fill their roles
well. People who love fun, song and

which the maid understands, and acts up
to in her return message to the waiting
visitor. If, however, ideas are few and
work difficult and unsatisfactory, Mrs.
Ward interrupts herself without hesita-
tion, doubtless finding relief, if not act-
ual progress, in stopping work that is
like battering against. a stone wall.

Old John Patterson, son of the postmaster
of the branch office at 924 Washington
street, has furnished a clew to Chief of
Police Donovan'and Postoffice Inspector
' Lewis regarding the robbery of over $7,000
worth of - stamps from therHoboken post-
office on Monday afternoon.
The boy told the detectives that he had
been sent by his father to the main post-
oflice in order to get the mail for his fa-
ther’s station. He 'said that when he ar-
rived at the postofiice he saw three men
leave Postmaster ‘Curren’s private office
carrying a. bag with them. He said he
saw them close the door of the postmas-
ter’s private office and then walk down
toward the ferry. When the boy got his
mail and brought it to his father's place,
he went up stairs and told his mother
about the three men in the postmaster’s
private office. Mrs. Patterson did not give
the matter a second thought, and it was
not until the account of the robbery was
published that she told her husband about
. what John had told her.

before the chief of police and the postoffice
inspector. The boy gave a minute descrip-

THE ARMENIAN ltIASSACRES.
The Hypocritfcal Sultan Is Said to Have
Been Fully Cognizant of Them. »
LONDON, Dec. 6.———Dr. G. Thoumaian,
the well known Armenian, formerly a
- professor at the American college at Mar-
sovan, has received a letter from an Ar-
menian now at Constantinople giving
further particulars regarding the Turkish
atrocities in Armenia. The writer says:
“In the neigthrhood of Moosh the in-
habitants of 25 Armenia-n villages have
been ruthlessly massacred, and their
houses have been burned down and de-
stroyed at the hands of the Hamidije cav-
alry, favorite regiments of the sultan. The
victims number 6,000. Besides that the
inhabitants of two or three villages were
compelled to embrace Mohammedanism.
It is well known that this was done with
the sultan’s knowledge.
“Two days ago the Turkish official pa.-
pers announced that the sultan had pre-
sented new golden flags to the Hamidije
cavalry. The details of the barbarlties
will probably not be believed in England;
but, my brother, they have opened the
wombs of pregnant women alive and have
pulled out the babes, and hanging them
on their spears organized triumphant pro—
sessions. The news is well known here,
though none dares speak of it. _
. “I began this letter on the 6th of No-
vembcr and was suddenly obliged to hide
it for several days because the government
was causing our houses to be searched. ”

wearing a. British uniform, visited the
Prince of Wales and the Duke of York this
morning, and the two latter returned his
majesty’s visit an hour Later. ~They then
started for Englamd. ‘
After the departure of the Prince of
Wales and the Duke of York, Emperor
William donned a Prussian uniform and
prepared to open the reiclistag. .
The Radicals are furious that the mon-
arch does not come to parliament, but
ceremony.
The Freisinnigc Zcitung says that this
shows how modest'apart parliamentarism
holds in Germany. '_
The session was opened at noon in the
rittersaal of the castle instead of in the
usual white' hall, which is being reno-
vated. ,
The Kaiser’s Speech.
Emperor William in person read his
speech from the throne. It was as follows:
“HONORABLE GENTLEMEN—In the name
.of my exalted allies, I bid you welcome at
theipeginning of your constitutional work.
“You will transfer your labors to your new
home, which, after ten years of'earnest
work, is now upon the point of comple-
tion, a, monument of our national industry.
“May God’s blessing rest, upon the
house, and may the greatness and welfare
of the empire be the goal for which all

who are called upon to work within its
walls will aim with self denying loyalty.
I entertain this wish all the more strongly
in view of the economic annd social polit-
foal tasks which must be solved with your
co-operation.
“Faithful to the traditions of our ances-
tors, my cxalted allies and myself regard
it as our foremost duty to the state to pro~
tect the weaker clus‘sesand to assist them
in attaining higher economic and moral
development.
The Struggle For Existence.
“ The duty of the state becomes the more
imperative as the struggle for existence
upon the part of certain sections of the
people grows more serious: The federal
governments Will continue their efforts to
promote feelings of content among the
'people by mitigating economic and social
difl'erences.
“But if these efforts are to succeed it
appears necessary to oppose more effectu-
ally than hitherto the pernicious conduct
of those who attempt to disturb the execu-
tive power in the fulfillment of its duty.
“Experience has shown that the existing
legislation does not afford the means re-
quired’by the federal governments. You
will therefore consider measures supple-
menting our common law, and a. necessary
bill will be submitted to you Without de-
lay, which, chiefly by extending the pres-
ent penal provisions, will increase the pro-
tection of public order.
"I entertain the confident hope that you
will lend your energetic co-operation to
this serious task.” ’
Evils of Speculation.
His majesty next alluded to the preju-
lation upon national prosperity and said
that to remedy these evils a bill was being
prepared which would probably be. submit-
ted during the course of the session. ‘ Con-
tinuing, the emperor said: ’ 3'
“The same is the case in regard to a
bill which is intended to protect the trad-‘-
ing community against competitiOn which
does not‘scruplc to cmployunfair means,
and Which will contribute to strengthening
confidence in business and commerce.
“To my lively satisfaction, my confi-
dence iii the maintenance of European
peace has been further strengthened dur-
ing the last few years. Faithful to the
spirit of our alliances, we cultivate good
and friendly relations with all the powers.
_"During the course of the last few
months ' two neighboring empires have
been deeply stirred by grave events.
“Germany has sincerely joined in the
sympathy. which was evinced on all sides
and which once more gave evidence of the
solidarity of human feeling and peaceful
wishes. In the death of the emperor of
Russia I deplore the loss of a. friend and a.
tried 'co-operator in works of peace. ”‘
To Open the Beichstag.
His majesty afterward went “Po the
reichstag building in order' to formally
nerstonc, which is combined With the
dedication of the building and the formal
opening of the new session of the reichs-
tag.
Immense crowds of people were gathered
along the route and outside of the new
building and cheered the emperor and the
German reigning princes on their arrival.
Prince Hohonlolie, the chancellor, and
Field Marshal Blunicnthal, chief of the
general staff of the Prussian army, who is
about 84 years old, were accorded an espe—
cially warm welcome from the people.
The new reichstag building, a monu—
mental structurc, has taken over ten years
to build. ‘ ,
On June 9, 1834, the foundation was
laid by Emperor William in the presence
of nearly all the German princes and rul-
ers.
It stands on the east side of the Koenig
platz, a. stone’s/throw from the column of
Victory, and covers 11,638 square meters..
It has cost 28,700,000 marks to build and
equip, of which 18,000,000 only were asked
for under the first estimate.
