A Detective Joins a Lodge And Re- veaIs Its Secrets. | OTTAWA, June 22.-It has been whispered l about for some time that Socialist order in I or about Ottawa had many members, but until the past day or two nobody had enter l tained an idea that there was lodge within a stone's throw of the government building. A few weeks since detective from a neigh boring city put in an appearance and has since been here at work. He has succeeded in unexpectedly unearthing in Hull, the lum- Der center of this county, which lies just across the river, not more than quar- ter of a mile from the parliament building, society in full blast with upward of fifty l members, most of whom are of the Herr Most stripe and all laborers of the poorest, | ignorant class of French Canadians engaged in the lumber mills which constitute the on- ly interests of this place. The detective be- came in some way member of the order. The oath which he was obliged to take was substantially as follows
 As we and ours have been daily oppressed and our lives crushed and murdered, so shall blast, shall local tyrants, preaching hypocrtes, souless monopolists and scorndrels be annihilated by dyna
  friends shall be yorr friends and your enemies all and have nothing swift destruction for tra tors promise, swear Twill perform for and never right teousness of our cause and to the fidelity of each member.
 On the walls of the room referred to were the following and similar notices:
 Down with the church, Stats, capital and other villanies
 Liberty deah.
 Long live Socialism.
 We shall conquer through blood, etc., etc.
 The order first started about two months ago with eight members. They meet once 8 week for social congratulations. So far as known no instructions have been received in the practice and use of weapons, although the following letter received by the society dictates how they would like to accomplish the end they aim at:
 15 SOUTH CLARK STREET, CHICAGO, June 2.
 Bear Comrade-I write to give you fuli instruc- Bombs would cost you Ss5 The materials are not explosive and there is cei cainly no danger in erful argument when rightly used. I believe your suggestion of tlying its strength in the river good one. Glad to learn of your success and would be pleased to hear from you again should you accept my terms. Do not register the letter. The money will come all right. C.. r. LASDTMAN. This offer was not accepted because of the expense. There has also been some corre- spondence with 54 West Lake street, Chicago, as the following proves:
 It will repay you to send one of your members here would introduce him to any number of skilled anarchists and show you about the manufacturing of the invincible arguments in de- tail. w. R. DowNEA.
 The detective being seen by a United Press reporter this morning said: ''In time of peace these despicable devils and their soft talking, peace prophesying allies are perfectly harmless, but let labor troubles ex- tend or general uprising of Socialists take place and these fifty with others which they can count on would make terrible havoc. Last night was their meeting night, but by mutual understanding it was postponed Probably they smell rat and have had their suspicious aroused. There is every reason to believe that through this order the lum- Der mills recently burned were fired for the purpose of obtaining work for members of the society" The name of every member is known to the detective. So far no action has been taken to break up the society by arresting the members and it is not likely that there will be. The order, knowing their secrets are out, will probably disappear for the present. The object of the detective was to find certain man who was wanted in Chi cago for several crimes, but in this he has been unsuccessful.
