SWab On HOcdcl.

New YORK, Aug. 17.-Referring to Hoe
del alta Socialist meeting last might, ,Schwab
said 1--WE have nothing to say about this
man; his act was that of an individual, not
member of the Socialistic party. He was
man Of the most utterly degraded charac-
ter, both morally and physically; we knew
tins from information received by us from
Berlin. Indeed so far as that is concerned,
having regard to his physical condition.
1t is doubtful whether he was justly re-
sponsible for this act. We believe, how
ever, he was mere tool in the hands of
Bismarck, and that his action was designed
by that astute and INSCRIPTIONS statesman,
with the object OF moving public opinion in
Germany, and increasing the fast decreaS-
ing popularity of the Kaiser"
