Reaping the Whirlwind.

New y ork Commercial Advertiser, Oct.
so: The progress of socialism in Ger
many cannot be other than matter of
supreme solicitude to Prince Bismarck
and the Emperor William. Six years ago
two Socialists were returned to the Reichs-
tag. to the disgust and CONSERVATION of
the entire conservative element OF the
country. regardless of their party aflilia-
tions. At that time there was little dis
position to look upon the movement as
seriously threatening the body polite. 1t
was regarded rather as an ephemeral ebnl-
luton of the disconnected theorists and
demagogical leaders of the working-peo-
pie in the large cities.
But the result of yesterdays general
elections shows that the Socialists doc
trines of Hasenclevel, Babel and others
have taken firm root, and that these have
obtained an extraordinary following, es-
pecially in the large cities. In Berlin.
alone. during the past year, the Socialists
vote shows the remarkable gain of IS. 600
over that cast at the previous election,
and the incomplete returns from Hamburg.
Munich. Frankford- Main. Dresden
and all the other large centres OF popula-
tion indicate very heavy gains in the vote
of the party of the blood-red flag. The
latest returns show that nine Socialists
have been returned from various parts of the
country. and that in twenty nine districts
in which the election was failure, the
Socialists will contest the seats of the can
didates of other parties in supplementary
elections.
The sudden strength which this incono-
elastic party in German politics has de-
veloped adds another extremely disc0rdant
elements to the homogeneous factions into
which the political power of the Empire
is divided. The growth Of this party of
subversion has been fostered by Prince
Bismarck reactionary measures as well
as by the general discomfort of the work
ing classes. 1t now remains for the Cham
cellor to hold in check the dangerous
spirit which he has aroused. He has
played in turn fast and loose, in prosecut-
ing his own occult purposes. with the
National Liberals and the Clericals in the
Reichstag. and this coming to the front of
Socialists is one of the corollaries of his
many errors.
One thing is now very sure. The
Chancellor finds himself at bay with the
hounds of discord close upon him, and
whether he proposes to vanquish his OPP
ponents by repeating the general suffrage
act, or springing upon them some other
measure born of his theory of blood and
iron, y and nurtured at the recent meet
meeting of the three Emperors, is devel-
opment which the world will await with
some interest.

Plenarv Council

Next Sunday will be great day in the
history OF the Catholic Church in the
United States. Although the meeting
proper of the Plenary Council will not be-
gin until the following day the grand re-
hgious ceremonies to take place Sunday,
in which all the prelates and hundreds of
clergymen will take part, will really mark
the opening Of the Council
Archbishop Gibbons. Of Baltimore an
apostolic delegate, will preside. The only
American cardinal, Most Rev. John Nc
Closky. of New Y DIRK, will not be present.
owing to i'll health. In the council there
will be eighty archbishops. bishops and
abbots ten other prelates, about twenty
nve heads of religious orders. which,
with the theologians allowed each of the
foregoing, will make up in all about two
hundred and fifty active participants in
the laborS of the council. In addition to
these the council will draw to the city
hundreds of Catholic priests from all parts
of the country, who will be CONSTANTLY
coming and going during the session of
the council, which is expected to last
three weeks, OF even longer.
The conference of Archbishops of the
twelve provinces OF the United States has
been called by Archbishop Gibbons to meet
at his residence on Thursday next. The
DEGREES promulgated by the distinguished
theologians at their recent meeting at ST.
Charles College and st. Mary's Seminary
will then be laid before the Archbishop
and other details presented, so that they
may be thoroughly familiar with the work
before the meeting of the council Of
course the private discussion will be in
the English language, but the acts and de-
creeS will be written in Latin. After the
meeting Of the council the results of its
labors will be forwarded to the Pope and
whatever may be decided on will not have
force until approved by him. This is in
accordance with the law of the Church,
but it is almost a foregone conclusion that
the Holy See will sustain any act of the
Council.
Religious ceremonies connected with
the Council, and open to the public, will
take place on Sundays and Thursdays. In
addition there will be religious services
and a sermon for the public every evening,
except Thursday and Saturday.

Terrible Panic.

A dispatch from Glasgow, Scotland,
dated the 1st, says
A serious panicloccurred this evening at
the Star Theatre, caused by cry of fire
being raised. During the rush by the au-
dience to escape from the building sixteen.
people were killed and twelve more seri4
ously injured.
The performance at the Star Theatre had
proceeded without any interruption until
shortly after nine O'Clock. when some per-
sons shouted Fire" The whole audi
a rush to the several doors. The great
mass of people who occupied the pit, in
escaping therefrom, met the crowd that
was descending the stairways from the
gallery. and fearful block ensued Loud
cries Of distress, and shouts for help arose
from the mass OF frightened, panic-stricken
and struggling humanity. The crowd was
adiured by the officers of the theatre and
by the police to hold back, but the warn
ings and appeals were unheeded. The
craZed crowd frantically rushed towards
the outlets, trampling and jumping over
each other until they reach the street.
When the theatre was finally cleared. six
teen corpses were found on the stairs lead
ing from the gallery, and twelve persons
were so badly injured that they only gave

piteous meanings. Upon the first alarm
being rung through the city the whole fire
brigade quickly went to the rescue, and
with the police did their utmost to allay
the panic and rescue the crushed victims.
but they were too late to be of much
effective service. The police force, aided
by volunteers, rushed into the building
and endeavored to keep the entry clear by
aiding all they could to escape to the
street. but the crowd was so large that
they were sadly iAterferred with il their
humane labors. The city ambulance
corps conveyed the victims. the living
wounded. with the dead. so mixed that it
was onlypossibie to recognize them after
their arrival at the intirmary. 1t was sub
sequently learned that the author of the
cry OF fire was a former empoye of the
theatre, who had been dismissed. The
audience numbered about two thousand
people The performance of the eveninSy
consisted chiefly of music hall business.
Another account says that the alasln arose
While trapeze performers was taking a
dive from the ceiling Of the theatre to a net
hanging in miiair. One of the audience
shouted fire meaning that the per
former had gone too near the footlghts.

Observation-Disclosures MIR, f. Ill. Snyder of the
problem. which has puzzled inventors and
scientists ever since the discovery of
dynamite, as to whether that terribly de-
structive agent can be utilized in the man
ufacture Of proiectiles. according to the
New York Tribune, Mr. Snyder and his
assistants have perfected "a system Of

can be safely discharged from cannon by
the use Of gunpowder. and with terrific

disarrangea her interior that her engines

A Sensible Girl.
From the Reno (Nev. } Journal.

From the Keno (NeN.) JoufnAi.
A quiet wedding. partaking somewhat
of the romantic took place yesterday
morning at the Palace Hotel, the high
contracting parties being Frank g. Chris
man, of Dayton, Nevada. and Miss Bena
f. Brown. OF Muscatine, Iowa. The mar
riage was the fuliIlment Of matrimonial
engagement made between the parties in
Iowa several years ago, when Frank struck
out for the far West to build up home.
When he had succeeded he communicated
the fact to his faithful Iowa sweetheart.
The little olack-eyed heroine at once in
formed her lover that he need not subject
himself to the unnecessary expense of
making trip across the continent to join
her. but that she would save four-Gfths of
all the expense by coming alone and join
ing him at Reno. With this understand
ing she took the southern route and ar
rived here yesterday morning, and was
met at the depot by her intended, who
escorted her to the Palace, where the Rev.
Mr.. Hatch was in waiting, and the long
delayed union was solemnized without
further delay. The happy couple. then
took the train for Dayton, their future
home.
