murder of the Chancellor had been con-
cocted, and it was known to the Socialists
in London that yesterday was the day fixed

of working upon the feelings of the Empe-
ror that he may withdraw the opposition to
the execution of Hoedel.
This latter opinion meets with little favor
here. The first one is considered most prob
able.
