The regroWth of socialist activities is
certain to evoke early action by the
reichStag to
SETTLE THE SOCIALIST LAWS.
The Austro-German socialist congress,
which meets tomorrow, will prepare
manifesto to the socialists Of the world.
A few German delegates viii attend.
The members are furnished with per-
Sonal invitations in order to give the
reunion the semblance of private
meeting. The questions to be dis
cuSSed chiefly concern Austrian social
lists. including labor legislation. the So
cialist press. poor relief, workmen'S
chambers and socialist education. The
session will continue three days. The
police have been ordered not to inter-
fere so long as the debates do not touch
seditiOn. The dynamite section of the
Vienna socialists will send several dele
gates. Among the sixty socialist dele
gates present at the Belgian Chattel con-
gresS and afterward arrested on sus-
picion of being concerned in the dyna-
mite explosion during the recent min
ing strikes, were several German ex-
lies, who for some time resided at
Zurich. The Belgian attorney gen.
eral, Van Schaor, who directs the trial
of every suspect, is communicating
with the Berlin government on the sub
ject. The socialists assert that police
agents are at the
ROOT OF THE CONSPIRACY.
The Swiss government has perfected
a system of political police which is en-
>tirely satisfactory to to the Berlin au
thorities. The cantonal police have
been instructed to watch all public and
private gatherings held for the purpose
of discussing political questions and to
report concerning the persons promi-
nent at such gatherings. and foreigners
suspected of being dangerous, such
persons to be shadowed when NOV
ing to another canton or leaving
the country. A section Of the Swiss
press condemns the system as tending to
turn the country into Prussian prov
ince under the socialist law. The de-
tenders of Sir r. ID. Morler, the British
ambassador at st. Petersburg, assert
that letter exists bearing Marshal
BaZaine's signature, in which he absol-
utely denies holding any communication
with Morier. The Cologne Gazette
challenges the production of the letter,
and says that even against the lettea it
can place statement freely made by
BaZaine in the presence of German Off
GERS to the effect that he first heard of
the movement of German troops through
advices emanating from MOrier at
Darmstadt. The paper reviews the
question as to the source whence Ba-
Zaine drew his pecuniary support while
at Madrid. The full public vindication
which Morier appeals for is prevented
by the fact that he was the victim, not
the offender; his Darmstadt cipher
dispatches sent to the English govern
ment being transmitted to the French
through
PARSONAGE IN THE ENGLISH COURT.
Secret experiments with the new eX-
plosiye proved successful near Thorn.
Experts are convinced that the eXplo-
sive can destroy forts like the French
fort D'Arrel, on the frontier, within
few hours. The powers of the eXplO-
sive will revolutionize the whole
fortress system, making useless great
closed fort works and necessitating
movable defensive works, enclosed in
ironclad bullwarks. Recent fort work
changes in France and Russia indicate
that both those nations have obtained
knowledge of the explosive. Warsaw
dispatches state that the system of
Todleben will be completely abandoned,
and that orders have already been is
sued to stop the works at Kowal and to
form instead triangular system, in
Guiding Kowal, Liteuski and Bialystock,
connected by strategic railways. Mgr.
Mocenni replaces Mgr. Ruffosnlla as
papal nunci0 at Munich.
