knecht Outlines the Demands OF
the Socialists.
HALLE, Oct ia fete was given last
night to tbe delegates TO the social congress
now in session in this city, in Prinz Carl
Blerhalle, the largss hall in town. Three
thousand persons attended. The red flag,
the emblem of the socialists, which for ten
years had been under the ban Of law in
Germany flowed from the platform from
which number of speeches were made by
members Of the party. The proceedings
were interspersed with songs.
An interesting feature was the presenta-
tion Of a series of tdbleaup uiuants, repre-
senting the struggle Of labor against capi-
tai the protection of labor and the dismissal
Of Bismarck.
CARRIED THE RED FLAG.
Herr Beck of Zurich explained that when

RED the nag that was on tine platform from
Kessel to Zurich, where he kept it in safety
until now, when on the expiration of the
socialist law 1t was returned TO its home.
Herr Wellschlafger OF Basel said that he
was ashamed OF the INF stoe shown by
Switzerland toward the German socialists,
but he declared that no blame should be
attached to either the people or the govern
ment, because the country was very small
and therefore exposed to pressure of its
powerful neighbor.
Soon afterward the discussion got hot and
several Of the members INDUCED in violent

WHAT THE SOCIALISTS DEMAND.
At to-day's session Of the socialist con-
grass resolution was adopted and ordered
transmitted to the government, declaring
that 1t was the duty OF a constitutional
government to remit the penalties under
which the victims Of the socialist law are
suffering
Herr Liebknecht said the Eisenache pro-
gramme Of 1875 required revision. Hith-
erto this had been impossible because of the
life and death struggle being carried on.
Herr Liebknecht to-day outlined what the
socialists want. Their demands, he said,
included trial by jury, gratuitous adminis~
tration Of justice and free legal assistance
and medical aid for the people. With these
ends in view all lawyers and doctors ought
to be permanent state officials. Another
demand Of the socialists was that the ques-
tion of religion be treated as purely a
private matter. They also demanded that
the working day be considerably shortened.

Thrilling Story of the Rescue of
EhsnruracLad Cram

Thrilling Story of the Rescue of a
Shipwrecked Crew.
NEW GLASGOW, N. s., Oct IA thrill
ling story Is that of tho rescue OF
four men who remained on the wrecked
bark Memerby, stranded at Little Harbor
while on voyage from Quebec for Greene
reck with lumber, and from which the cap
tain, the first and second officers and twelve
men were drowned.
All day Monday crowd stood on the
beach watching the poor unfortunates on
the crumbling wreck, but the spectators
were powerless to effect or even attempt q
rescue, so wild was the sea, and night set
tied down without any abatement of the
terrific storm. Two men remained on
shore and occasionally waved lanterns to
show the shipwrecked men that they we're
not forgotten.
When morning dawned Tuesday an fm-
mense concourse assembled, but IL was noon
before it was considered at all possible to
make an attempt at rescue. Then a boat
was launched, manned by a 70 u teer crew
consisting of Capt. P. Graham, David
Frazer Williams, DIR. McLeon OF
New Glasgow, James Nc
Glashen of Big Island and A.
Desconconsemans. The brave fellows
fought terrible battle with tho waves, but
eventually reached tho wreck, when
mighty cheer went up from tue ANXIOUS
watchers on shore One by one the ex-
hausted and benumbed shipwrecked men
were lowered into the boat, and after a
second desperate battle with the waves,
conveyed safely to land. The work was
facilitated by liberal use of oil
Two of the rescued men were sick, and
one had bis shoulder broken. The
rescued men were Seamen Kane and Evans
and the steward and captain of schooner,
who went to supply the bark with proviS
ions, and were unable TO regain their own
vessel. The stranded Melmerby is fast
breaking up.

Rev. Michael Logue, d. D., archbishop OF

Star says, is an unusual aud sig
nihcant step, and Is seldom adopted. The
fact that a summons for the archbshops
has been issued has been known only to a
limited circle. The Catholic erchiepisco-
pacy are deeply interested. 1t Is believed
that the summons was issued in connection
with che Irish political situation and kin-
dred subjects. The archbishops and bishops
are now deiiberating and 1t Is probable
that they will soon issue a series Of resolu--
tions with reference to Irish affairs

to get. t.even for the epithets applied to him
by Madden at that time, and has several
times reported him to his superior officer

The physician pronounced his case hopeless.
