Socialist Conspiracies.
LoNnoN, November 30-lt is known
that the Chief OF the German Police
Service has ior some time been engaged
in preparing complete and extensive
report upon the extent, nature and pur-
pose of the secret revolutionary Societies
that exist all over Europe. In this work
he has been assisted by the chiefs OF tho
detective police OF London, Marsellles,
Paris, Perne, Geneva, Naples, Florence,
Rome, Vienna, Pesth, Warsaw, Moscow
and ST. Petersburg, and some valuable
information is believed to have been
sent him from New York, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New Orleans. His ro-
port is not intended ior publication. No
copy of it up To the present ~ believed
To have been sent to Scotland Yard Tor
the information of the authorities there.
and certain intlmatiOns concerning It's
revelations have reached here through
other channels.
According to these accounts OF the
report, it would appear the attempts
upon the lives of the Emperor OF Ger
many and the King Of Italy and the
King OF Spain, as well rs the successful
and unsuccessful attempts ut assassina-
tion OF police officials in Russia, are the
work OF au organization which has It's
qualifications extending practically all
over the world. Even some political
murders in Sduth America are said to he
traced to the same source. The men
employed commit the murders, not ut
all aware that they are the tools 0f the
powerful organization which EMPLOYS
them; but when, ~ i'll Russia women
are made assassins, they are intrustcd
with more accurate knowledge.
The Chief oi the German police,
il liz understood, says III his re-
port that his clcws as To-
the contro ling spirits oi the con-
spiracy sometimes sank into the ground,
and sometimes led him To such high
quarters that he deemed il best 10 cease
To- follow them. For instance, III Russia
the conspiracy commands the services
OF u high-horn woman. The Chief ui
Police at kieh, who was murdered Il
few weeks ago, was killed on the open
highway. III the day time, 10y one Oi two
iashiOnahly dressed ladies', who, after
engaging him in conversation for u mo
| ment, drove n dagger into his heart. To
the people who saw the murder the
companion OF the murderess said: "lic
| has received his due reward. Take
care, il you arc al his kind, icst you
| should be so ended" The report, it il
understood, says that in this case, as in
| others, the murdercss has escaped ar.
rest, not because she is unknown, but
because her arrest would cause great
scandal and do more harm than good.
