GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

German Politicians Unable to Agree Con-
corning the New Socialist Measure.
Copyright 1885, by the New York Associated Press
BERLIN. Jan. 21.-Since the new anti-Socialiss
project was placed before the Reichstag the op-
position has waved strong from all parties except
the Conservative groups The National Liber-
reject the measure unless it is greatly modified.
The seventy new penalties revolt the National
Liberals, who were prepared to concede partial
Proclamation of the present law. The National
Liberal Press joins that of the Progressionists
in demanding to know what principle the
new law can punish Germans who take part in
Socialist meetings outside the empire. Another
mistake IN the bill is the Punishment proposal,
ton. For instance. it could not be enforced in
Bavaria, where the Constitution assures the
absolute right of all subjects to sojourn within
the district in which they were born. The Rel CHI
stays edict of expulsion would only operate
in Bavaria under a special vote OF q majority of
two-thirds of the Munich Parliament. The want
of uniformity in the operation of the banishing
clause would be fatal to it's maintenance The
National Liberal criticism of the project has be-
come so bitter that the organs Of that party
sail the general spirit of the measure. 1t is con-
tended that, despite the law the Socialist party
grows. The government is reminded of the
failure of all its efforts to arrest Intellectual
movement by police laws. and q lessening of re-
pressive measures is demanded the wiser
policy to control the Socialists. The National
Liberals blame Minister Won Puttkamer being
responsible for the i'm prudent features of the
measure, and may seize the occasion to try to
get him replaced by Herr Won Bennington or
some old leader in sympathy with their party.
tant group will be that the obnoxious proposals
will be abandoned.

About a year ago the inhabitants Of village
near Tanpier, famous for boar hunts, having
been ordered by the Sultan TO pay tax. refused
to do So on the grounds that their village was
an American colony, aud the Bashas inquiry on
the subject was answered by Ar. Lewiss
predecessor that the villagers, umbering about
three hundred, were employed as heaters at the
boar hunts organized In connection with the
American consulate, and must, therefore. be ex-
empt from taxation, as all employees of the con-
sulate were under the protection OF the United
States All unofficial protection has now been
abandoned by Mr.. Lewis. and only three classes
OF natives enjoy official protecton-those actu-
ally employed in the consular services,
those protected in consideration OF their
former services the United States,
and agents and buyers in Morocco for citizens
OF the United States engaged in wholesale i'm
port or xport trade in Morocco. These classes
are expressly provided for by the existing
treaties, particularly by the International con-
yention signed in 1885. From the detailed lists
submitted by Mr. Lewis il appe ars that at the
present time the number of native
Moors protected by the United States
on account of present past official
employment Is twenty-nine, most of
them being in active service guards. servants.
interpreters and writers of Arabic. Or business
agents receiving protection there are twenty
six, all of whom are in the bona fide employ of
citizens of the United States actually engaged
In importing or exporting according to the
terms of the existing treaties. This, the de-
partInent officials say. is q gratifying exhibit,
and indicates conscientious reform OF the
abuses complained Of against the United States
consulate at Tangier.

THE GERMAN SUCCESSION.

Cont rad lotion of the Report that Frederick
Williams Abdication was Suggested.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
LONDON, Jan. 21.-It can be stated on very
good authority that the reports of abdicaton
projects for the Crown Prince of Germany are
nopsensical. No such thing has ever been sug-
gestad. It is understood that the Crown Prince
has been consulted to what would be his
course of action in the event of the
death of the Emperor, and the re-
the imperial Office. and thereafter the question
mined 1t is said that, most naturally and prop
erly. this is regarded by the Prince his duty to
his country, to his family and to himself The
mention of the Crown Princess as the
possible successor of Emperor William
is, of course, absurd. No proposal to
supersede the heir of the Crown Prince has been
made or thought of in official quarters at
Berlin. This, it is said. is positively the fact.
At present the Crown Prince holds himself
ready for the succession, while he is described
as being quite prepared to admit in due course,
the impossibility of active fuiflment OF the
duties of Emperor of Germany. if that necessity
should be forced upon him. AS to the actual
state of the Crown Princes health, Europe is
still In the dark. Nothing could be more serious
than the bulletin issued by his physicians
ten weeks ago, declaring the growth in the
throat to be cancer. That has never been with
drawn, though in certain interviews casually
published Sir Morell Mackenzie has been
ported as still hesitatine. The bulletins now
issued invariably speak of the general health"
of the Crown Prince satisfactory, but say
little or nothing about the disease in the throat,
whatever 1t is. If the runors true. the Ian
guage used by the doctorsvis quite sufficient to
account for it

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Senator Beck Likely To BE Worsted In Eff

Special TO tho Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. PA Washington spe-
cial in today's New York World states that
Senator Beck waited upon President Cleveland.

Kentucky friends, for the purpose of ascertain
ing what the Presidents preferences were as TO
the place for holding the Democratic nominal

himself decidedly in favor of New York, and
that Kentucky, Of course, would favor New
York. Senator Beck, to-day, repudiated the
statement coming from him, and said that he
got his information from Henry Wat
terson. and not the President George
Gilland, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and
Caleb VanHamm, Of Cincinnati, came to the
front tonight and branded Senator Beck as .
fabricator. They declare that they heard Sena-
tor Beck make this statement last night, and
that he quoted the President saving what
WAS said, and to him, not to Watterson. It
begins to look as though the Senator was getting
himself into hole by attempting to shield the
President in effort TO have the convention

CHEATING UNCLE SAM.

Securing SeconG-Class Rates for Mail Matter
Not Entitled to the Reduction.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The Americans are
not the only nation on earth that can concoct
sharp schemes. and it has recently come to light
that our cousins in Canada equal to the
emergency when an opportunity for feathering
their own nests presents itself. A short time
ago the temperance people in the little town of
East Aurora. N. Y. decided to publish
monthly paper under the auspices of shs Royal
Templars of Temperance. They proposed to
issue 16, 900 copies each month. and to send
them through the mails as educators for the
benefit of mankind generally. To accomplish
this they decided to pay the cost of postage at
pound rates through assessments Of each mem
Der of the order. Then they visited the local
printing Office and asked the editor of the coun-
try weekly published in the town to make a bid
for the work, including the mailing OF tn
entire edition each month. Upon inquiry at
the Postofice Department he found that he
could not send these papers through the mail
second-class matter owing to the ia ct that :hey
not sent out to bona fide subscribers. This
serious setback for the temperance peo
pie, who must have abandoned their attempt to
disseminate their literature but for a suggestion
that came from Canadian printer. He offered
to do the work. and to send the papers through
the Canadian mails to the points in the United
States at the rate per pound charged for Can
adian papers Under the postal tire atty between
this country and Canada mails TRANSMIT tied
from country to the other just though
boundary line existed on the north of us. Mails
originating in Canadian postofices are distrib-
uted to addresses in the United States and the
United States Postofice Department does not
receive one cent for the service. By the same
plan all mails originating in the United States
are delivered in Canada, and the Canadian Post
office Department receives compensation
from the United States This Canadian printer
knew of this fact hence he made the offer to
the Royal Templars of Temperance, of East
Aurora, n. Y, which threatens to injure the
business of the editor of the weekly paper in
that village, as well as to deprive the Postofice
Department of a small amount of revenue The
attention of the postofice authorities will be
called to this matter. and while it is a very small
affair it may lead to some radical changes in tho
system of the interchange OF mails between the
two countries
