SOCIALISM.
Said to Ee the Cause of Bismark's
observation-disclosures OF Woman
Suf'ca &c n Ere ich OF Ger
man Court Etiquette.

Wr7hir1sou special 60 tre 20, Jon Globe.
In diplorcsic cycles here a new ex-
PLANTATION is given OF the ci1se1 which
to Minister S.ryeat's uuplcN-. at miGsioa
to Berlin. Hereto'oce his want of sue
cess b. been attributed 10 matters politi-
cal, but il is now asseticd that lack OF So
clal tacS and want OF e,ard for the forms
of etiquette and custom prevailip at the
German court were he pcime causes OF the
un pleas .utness. The accomplished wife
of the miu'ater has for many years been
one OF the leaders IN The wcman's sutiraye
movement, and her husband in the SEN
etc and in the annual conventions Of the
SuTc,.go Association has advoc tied the
use OF he ballot by women Mr.. Sir-
gent and Mrs. S,.r ,ent also entertain add
vauced ideas on many social questions,
which in the family c,rtle at Washington
were discussed by The pleasant and rein
cd c~ompaniel that frequently assemble at
their house. The etiquette OF the Ger
man court is az 1 id az that of any coun-
try in Europe, possibly excepting SLat of
Sweden, and no. only are the outward
forms and observances of royalty main
tanned, bat the conversation lows within
we'll defined channels of thought and ex-
precision, to transsress from which, would
be regarded as an objectionable oSense.
1t is said that topics of conversation dis
cussed at social partie1 given by the
American minister were iuezpressibly
e"pulsive to the officers of the German
government who attended them. Mem
bers OF the ccurS were not disposed to lis
ton to e. pre-sions favoriny suffrage for
men, much less ioc women, and they &C
cordiugly ceased to socially recognize the
MINISTER'S family; while, on the other
hand, the Liberal members of the Reich
stag, among whom was Herr Lasker,
found the minister's home an exceedingly
agreeable %rcaort, and his warmest friends
included the principal opponents of the
government. : The Chaucellor's bitter
hatred of the Liberals, and his opposition
to socialistic theories, led him, in time,
to regard the American minister with Pc
culiar aversion. These feelings, it is said,
might have been ropressed until the end
Of tho present administration when Mr..
Sargent would have been recalled, had it
not been for the Lasker episode, which
brought matters to a crisis.

IN THE ARENA.
DonneIly Downs Smith I'm the Soft
Glove Contest.

The Academy of Music was but parti.
ally filed on Saturday evening on the oc-
casion of the contest between o.. III.
Smith and James Dornelly, whose right
name is James Fell. There were a few
preliminaryfeatures to the entertainment,
including a sct-to between the Nugent
Professor Miller and HALEY, the cham
pion light weight of Colorado. p .W p.
Immediately following this was the
principal event of the ~evening-the set-to
between Smith and Fell, Both men ap.
peared stripped to the waist, and both
were apparently in good condition.
Fell, however, had been in training for
the pust three weeks, while Smith had
not. There was some hard fighting, and
in the two first rounds Smith obtained
apparently the victory, hut be was out
winded in the third round and failed
to come to time, and thus the
fight was given to Fell. For ontee there
was no hippodrome business about this
contest, and everybody who had witnessed
the performances went away well satisfied,
Miller and Fell are anxious to meet
each other in the ~pugihstic arena
and it is probable that they
will make an arrangement to
come together OF an early day,
Miller is in good condition, as well as
Fell, and both are hard hitters, and the
contest between the middle-weisht OF
Lancashire of England and Professor
Miller would excite no little interest.

THE GERMAN THEATER.
The Queen of Laccs'' Presented in Il
Brilliant Style Last Night.

Despite the inclemency Of the weather
the German theater was fairly filed
with an enthusiastic and appreciative
audience.
Mr.. Molchin, in the role of Alfons
Schneider, made a great success, as he
invariably does in any part that he un-
dertakes. Mr.. Hauck's personation of
the character of Edward was excellent,
and he had evidently we'll studied his
part. MIR. Baurer as Sturrwedel was as
good as he always proved himself to
be, and elected great applause.
The character of Baron Simon was very
aoly sustained by Mr.. Meier, and Mr..
immense, and created genuine mirtA
whene YER he put in an appearance on the
stage.
During the evening several very pretty
songs were sung, which added very much
to the att~ractiveness of the entertain
ment. Mrs. Puls-Ahl was vociferously
recalled for the tive or three solos which
she executed, and she certainly thorough
ly deserved all the praise that was Law
ished upon her Mrs. Barrels, as Marie,
played her part in a highly commemorate
manner, and was well received.
Some of the scenic effects produced on
this occasion were of a very artistic ma
ture, and that of the masquerade ball
was especially noteworthy. The play
was interspersed throughout with some
excellent topical songs, which, with the
other musical and histronic performances,
made the affair a very enjoyable one and
it is safe to say that all who we're fortu-
nate enough to be present spent q vely
happy evening. The entertainment clos
ed with the customary terpsichor2an ex-
~ercises in which the musical union or
chestra lent their very efficient aid.
