CHICAGO SOCIALISTS.



Trouble ON July I.
CHICAGO, June l4.-Some uneasiness is
beginning to be felt in this city regarding
the eighthonr labor demonstration, which
is 10 take place here on the Fourth Of
July. While it Is the intention to have a
peaceful, orderly parade and mass meet
ing, it is feared that some OF the leaders
have more serious programme in prepa.
ration. The military forces will also pa
rade, and there is feeling that the Social.
istlc Labor Fereins should be curtai.ed in
their display OF arms and force. Tie lead!
ers, however, being sensible men, will
probably have the discretion to prevent a
conflict OF authority.
This afternoon three Socialists called
upon Mayor Harrison as a committee of
their people TO urge upon him the proper
prosecution OF policeman against whom
they had a grievance. He assured them
their matter would bc attended to, and
then questioned them regarding their in
tentions as to their parade on the Fourth
OF July. They said they intended to par
ade with arms, but that they might not
carry loaded weapons. The Mayor gave
them the friendly advice not to carry load
ed arms, or in fact any arms, but they did
not seem TO consider this advice as peril.
nent or kindly, lhe Mayor thereupon
added that It were better for them 10 leave
their red flag at home. Schilling, their
spokesman, said that flag was misunder-
stood. 1t signitied no revolution, but
brotherhood. Harrison thought the stars
and stripes a good enough emblem for
American citizens TO march under, but
SchillinC assured the Mayor that the So.
cialists would march, would probably car.
~ guns, and would certainly bear the red
flag.
1t now becomes question OF some in.
terest 10 find out what will he the attitude
OF Governor Cullom regarding this pro.
gramme. II they are belIigerent it will
bc his duty under the State law to see
that they do not carry arms. Will he
have the backbone required? is the ques.
tion anxiously asked by all who fully ap.
preCiatG the situation.

In the meantime the Independence

Covadouga, whose captain is very familiar
with the coast, steered very close courses,
leading the Independence into water
where she was certain OF destruction. The

at Point Gresa, when going at full
speed, she struck n rock and became
a total wreck. The Huscar came to

the hall was crowded, and many were
unable to gain admission. The sidewalk
opposite the hall was hronged with oper.
atives, eager to get the earliest information
OF the action oil the meeting. All the oper-
atives outside were actuated by one senti-
ment-that the manufacturers have not
treated them as free persons, but az ''gal.
ley slaves" The indications are that the
former quiet, dispassionate action Of the
men Is changing into bitterness, and an
Unprecedented struggle Is certain, The

without much talk. The vote on tho mo.
ton TO strike was carried unanimously,
and the motion to strike at all the mills
was also carried. Ten days notice will be
given on Monday.

LONDON, June 1.-THE text OF the
pope's letter upon the proposed marriage
law has been received here, and excites
much comment. 1t is addressed to the
Archbishops aud Bishops OF Turin, Yer.
celli and Genoa, A bill making civil mar.
riage obligatory before the religious rite
can be performed was recently passed BY
the Italian Chamber Of Deputies, and Is now
pending before the Senate, and the Pope
has ISSUED this letter in the hore OF pre-
venting its passage. He starts out with
the assertion that the State has
no right whatever to interfere in
matters connected with marriage.
'"To affirm" says he, "that matri.
mOny ss creation OF the State and
nothing more than a civil contract, is to
deny the fundamental principles OF Chris.
tianity, and even the elementary ideas OF
natural law. Marriage is not an inyen.
ton OF man, but OF God, who commanded
by this union the propagation OF the hu.
man race and the constitution OF the
family, wherefore marriage, in what con.
Germs the substance and sanctity Of the
tie, Is essentially sacred and religious, the
regulation Of which belongs 10 the Church
by the mandate ofits divine founder. The
Church has no wish to injuro the political
authority ot the State. Itacts only 10 pro.
tect the sanctity Of the tie, and the religi.
ous forms proper to It. The new law has
been dictated by desire to cause new tri.
bulations to the Church, not by wish Ia
maintain ORDER"
He instructs the Bishop to warn the
faithful that accept in the form establish
ed by God aud the Church, there can bt
no honesty or sanctity in the marriage
tie; but also to remind them that t6C
Church, aitpr having placed in safety tht
integrity OF the principles aud dignity o
the sacrament, permits the faithful to taxi

Secretary Sherman is not unaware OF tho

THE EGYrTIAN TROUBLES.
Arrival or Gen. I.oring-IIls Account OF
the Recent Troubles IN Egypt.

I
the Recent Troubles ~ Egypt.
NEw YuRE, June II. Among the pos.
sengers on the Britannia from Liverpool
this morning was General Loring, who
for ten years past has held one OF the
most important military commands in the
gift Of the Hhedive Of Egypt, and who
has taken conspicuous part in the differ.
cnt was Of this country during the pist
thirty years. General Loring was one Of
the fist American officers selected by the
Ehedive for his service at The time Of the
reorganization of the Egyptian army, aud
he aiIerwNrd distinguished himself greatly
in the .AbySsinian war.
During the past five years hc has had
command Of the City Of Alexandria and
cUast Notifications us far rs Rosetta, at one
OF the mouths OF the Nile. lie IL sixty
years OF age. lie went directly, on arri-
val, to tho residence OF ex-senator Spencer,
OF Alabama, where lie gave nn interesting
account Of his experience in Egypt OF the
condition OF Egyptian affairs. lie left
Alexandria on the lth Of March last, after
'Ieceiving an honorable discharge from the
army. In referring to the administration
Of Rivers Wilson and NJ. Blignieres. the
English and French Commissioners sent
out TO take charge Of the finances OF the
country in behalf Of English and French
bondhOlders, lie said they had taken
control with Il high hand; had
discharged from the Government employ
\ lS oil, Nn1 Il. tt, T.
positions and were competent men, and
appointed in their plNce their own friends
whose salaries were three times rs great us
us those OF the members OF the Cabinet of
the United States They also discharged
400 native officers, each OF whom Lad
from twelve to twenty months salary due,
and they with their families were left to
starve. Dissatisfaction consequently was
general throughout Egypt, and was one Of
the main causes which led to the emeute
in Alexandria in May, the retirement from
the Ministry of NUhAr Paslla, aud the
turning out Of the obnoxious hnanciers
by the Khedive Had he failed to take
the course he did, there would have been
II revolution.
This evidence Of boldness OH the part Of
the Niceroy made him immensely popu.
lar, aud saved him, fortunately, perhaps |
his life, and his dynasty. He was salts
tied, now that this incubus had been re.
moved, the khcdive would improve the
condition Of his country, the best interests |
of which, despite all reports to the con.
trary, he was satisfied he had at heart.
The General left in Egypt three Ameri.
can officers, viz: General Stone, Mason
Bey and Colonel Mitchell. The first named
is now Surveyor General Of Egypt. and |
the two others are his assistants.

FIN, Cent, from Kansas Clty To chicago.

ST. l.OrIs, June IA local railroad
war, which has just iairly broken out in
st. Louis, is creating not u little agitation,
and promises TO be still more interesting.
1t appears that when the Chicago and Al
ton Company completed their new road
to Kansas City, short time since, the
Missouri Pacific and the St. Louis, Kansas
City and Northern Roads refused to make
any terms by which all three could profit.
The Chicago and Alton got its back up at
this, and quietly cut the passenger rate
between Kansas City to st. Louis from
IS 30 to 81. The two opposition roads had
to follow suit. Then the Chicago and AL
ton dropped to s., and, as before. it
brought the others down accord.
ingly. This sort Of thing was
kept up until the rate between
the Future Great and tho village on
the kaw only Sl2 30. 1t had the effect Of
bringing all Eastern travel through st.
Louis, which madethe Hannibal and St. Joe
Company exceedingly wrathy. What
should this company do but drop the rate
from Kansas City to Chicago to S., re.
duction Of $40 95. The G. and 4. wheeled
around, and day before yesterday reduced
the fare from Kansas City to st. Louis to
fifty cents, and the Hannibal and St. Joe
has fixed the fare from Kansas City TO
Chicago at the same figure. II the war
holds out, tifty-cent note to as well as
from Kansas City may be announced at
any moment. One peculiarity about the
fight is that the regular rates are charged
for tickets at the office Of the different
companies, while the brokers are making
the cheap sales. The latter, ofcourse, are
sunplied BY tho companies.
