Blackburn Is very threatening.
A despatch from Acrington says that the mob
attacked one OF the mills last evening. and tho
owner and number of his friends defended
them.
The excitement In East Lancashire arising
from the differences between the cotton masters
and operatives is still intense. The presence Of
the military and Of large bodies Of police alone

One thousand cotton operatives at Greenhead,

noon, Mr. OGorman asked Mr.. Cross, the Home

SOCIALISM IN GERMANY.
Repressive Measures that may Resuit from
the Attempt on tho Empcror's Life.

BERLIN, May 1.-THE Emperor has writ
ten an autograph letter to Prince Bismarck. re-
turning his thanks in very touching terms for
the universal expression OF sympathy for his
escape from the bullet OF the assassin Hoedel.
The University Of Berlin has presented the En-
peror with an address. coDgratulatng him up
on his narrow escape. The measures which
Prince Bismarck has instructed the State Coun-
Gil TO consider. TO guard against further at
tempts like Hoedels. are understood TO
embrace system OF police supervision
over the socialistic societies. aud to pro-
vide means for their suppression under
certain contingencies. In his remarks at the
reception OF the Ministers on Tuesday the
Emperor dwet with some show OF excitement
upon the evidences OF the existence Of widely
spread organizations inspired by motives that
could not be reconciled with the existence Of
law. order, and the rights OF property. The
what evils were to be- apprchended from revo-
lutionary spirit But the ngitatOrs OF 1913 were
conservative as compared with those Of tho
present day, and 1t was now the first and most
important duty Of the Government to prevent
these agitators and revolutionists from spread
ing their pernicious doctrines further or gain
