The French Socialists have enjoyed a great
triumph In tho trial Of Prince Krapotkne and
his !ifty-two brother anarchists at Lyons. II
the trial had been designed as an elaborate
scheme for the propagation Of Socialism the
result could not have afforded more satisfac-
ton to It's projectors. The whole affair
was practically controlled by Prince Krapot-
kline. He was cool. courteous. and self
possessed. and in his replies to the Presi-
dent OF the tribunal showed his entire
mastery over his judges. The ability which he
disclosed was extraordinary. and the exaspera-
tion OF tho Court was complete. All OF the
prisoners took a Arm stand. gave their testi-
mony sometimes with unconcealed sarcasm.

Louise Michel has been lecturing during the
week at Steinway Hall on the education Of
women to audiences. which. at first small. have

moderate than many English radicals who hold
forth inLclub reading rooms and in this respect
sho hN8 proved disappointment and a sur
prise to her English hearers. Several English
ladies' were present at her lecture on Wednes-
day and asked questions in French. to which
she replied eagerly and fully. They took her

Mr.. Arnold Toynbee OF Ballot College. Ok
ford. lectured during the week to an immense
audience on Henry Georges Progress and
Poverty" There was nothing new in his argu-
ment against Mr.. George. but he admitted that
there was tendency on the part OF Govern
ment to assume greater control OF industrial
undertakings. He was listened to with deep
attention. The fact Is. there is no other sub
ject that at present possesses so intense an In
terest for the British public. He will lecture
next week on Mr.. George in England.
