protest against the seizure of the plant of the
Freiheit and arrest of Her. Most. An En-
glishman presided over the meeting. An En-
glish edition of the Freiheit was distributed in
the room, containing an appeal to the Social
passed declaring that the arrest of Herr Most
and the seizure of the plant of the Freiheit
were arbitrary and unjust, and an act worthy
OF Russian and German despotism.
The Times says it is stated that Herr Most's
writings in the Freiheit have long been con-
demned and repudiated by the responsible
chiefs of the Socialists in London and Ger
many, and that recently he and his followers
in London have been formally excluded from
the party. He was regarded as a hindrance
rather than an aid to the propaganda. A COM
plete file of the Freiheit was among the spoils
seized by the police ON Wednesday. The
Freiheit will be published as usual during
Most's imprisonment
The Telegraph states that on the Liberal
side House OF Commons strong feeling is
expressed against the mode in which the pros
ecution of the Freiheit is being carried on, and
this feeling will probably soon find expression
England and the Monetary Conference.
Mr.. Gladstones reply, in answer to the
question from Puleston in the Commons yes
terday, as to whether England would he rep
resented at the monetary conference, was
somewhat peculiarly worded. He said: ri am
hardly able to give positive reply. When I
last heard of the subject it had not been de-
cided. The honorable member knows that the
invitation which reached us virtually pledged
us to adopt bi-metallism." Notwithstanding
the foregoing there is the best reason for be-
lieving that the question is practically closed
adversely to British representation.
Bradlaugh's Re election Uncertain.
Rev. Henry Varley will contest Northamp-
ton against Bradlaugh. He says that "the
man who denies the existence of divine law
giver is unfit to legislate."
The Conservatives will also put up a cand-
date, and consequently the reelection of Brad
laugh becomes matter of considerable uncer-
tainty.
Precautionary Measures at st. PETERS
burg.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg saws the rem
resentatives elected to the Temporary Council
to assist the Commandant of st. Petersburg in
clude many well-known persons-the editor of
the Golos, several peasants and host of mer-
chants Maj. Gen. Baronoff the project adj
dressing them, proposed that the police be
empowered to examine passengers on leaving
railway stations, and that cahmen give the
police ticket and be forbidden to drive fare
elsewhere than to the address given them on
their engagement. These measures were an
proved, and council of twenty-five was then
elected.
The measures announced by Mai. Gen. Bar
onoH include the creation of barriers on all
roads leading to St. Petersburg, to enable a
record to be kept of all persons travelling to
the CITY. A proposal by one of the representa-
tives that the members of the Council sbonld
alternately assist in the supervision of the
streets through which the emperor may be ex-
pected to pass was enthusiastically received.
A dispatch to the London Times from ST..
Petersburg says all the householders were re-
quested to be at home to receive the police in
spectors in the 2S8 districts of the CITY and
write down their votes, but some persons in
the lower quarters of the city feared that the
police visit meant the dreadful search, and ac-
cordingly did not stay at home, and very
large number were profoundly Indifferent, as
usual, to the whole proceeding. Instead of
the streets being deserted as they should have
been they were more thronged than ever.
