Chicago Socialists
CHICAGO, March 14.-Socialists, num-
bering 1000, assembled at Turner hall
this evening TO welcome FritZche, the
German Socialist, member of the Reich
stag. Addresses were made by several
local societies, including the leader o.
the party. DR.. Ernst Schmidt COM
mended the assassination of the Gar,
saying that while he pitied the man, he
could not overlook the fact that he was
tyrannical despot. Fritche explained
the methods of socialism in Germany,
its organization and the prosecutions to
which its adherents were subject
ed, but said nothing very incendiary,
because, as he announced at the outset,
il would not be safe to speak as freely
as he would like, since his utterances
here were closely watched at home, and
might subject him to Imprisonment
when he reached Germany. Resolutions
were adopted reciting that there is no
free speech or right of assembly in Ger
many for Socialists; that no collections
are allowed for the families of exiles,
and calling on Americans to aid their
German brothers morally and materially

/ Russia's New Emperor.
LONDON, March ia Paris core
spondent of the Times says that the new
Emperor of Russia is almost entirely ig
norant of affairs of state He will prob
ably speedily set aside his fathers ad
viSors and privy counsellor Pobedonos
sew. He will bring with him bias ant
narrowness such as will not allay the in
ternal or foreign dlsquietude; as to hi
domestic policy, neither the Cars pei
sonal capacity, nor his friends and ad
vIsers, nor the circumstances of his aC
cession, warrant the expectation of hi
inaugurating more conciliatory or iii
eral course. All the indications are tina
he will adopt repression. The Gar
said to be anti-German, but this Is
vague expression. Greece has now ur
questionably Jealous champion IN til
Empress of Russia. Her first effort
will be directed towards policy NOR
favorable to Greece. This might ope
up prospect dIsquietIng to Europe bu
for the hope that Turkey, taking note @
these new bearings, will promptly aver
the danger by making necessary conces
sions.
The Kind of a Man Malone Is.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Mahone i
T in accord with the Republicans, AM
will vote with them on the organization
1t appears that he wants to favor few
Democratic friends in the distribution
of the senate Offices, and the Republical
caucus does not desire any mixed organ
ization. The speech of Hill, of Georgia
|, in the senate this afternoon, declarfn:
to the senate, and pointing out Mahon
as one, induced the latter to appea
more public than heretofore in his DC
litlcal affiliations. He consulted witt
several Republican senators, stating Il
them that he was not elected as Demo
crat, and was advised to defend hinisel
on the floor. He will probably state hi
position on the floor this evening or to
morrow-at any rate before the vote OF
the organization, giving his reasons TO
voting with the Republicans,
