LONDON, Sept. l2.-The news of revo-
luton in Switzerland is the most inter-
esting topic of The hour. DetaiIs of the
uprising are difficult to procure, the Fed
eral authorities having maintained a
telegraph censorship which would do
credit TO the more despotic neighbors of
the little Democracy. From the pains
taken In checking communication be-
tween the dissatisfied canton and the out
side world, and from the absence of any
encouraging official announcement by
the Federal council, it is feared that the
revolt may be more widely spread in its
effects than the brief dispatches permit
ted to pass the censorship would indicate.
Ticlno, the canton now in rebellion, has
however, q more turbulent record than
her sister cantons, and news OF the
present trouble is, therefore, less alarm
ing than il the offending canton was one
of those which had always maintained
peaceable and loyal demeauor.
SOUTHAMPTON STRIKE.
The failure of the Southampton
strike is now conceded to be due
to the haste and bad counsel
at the start. The men would have had
fair chance of success h ad hey waited for
the sanction of the London executive,
but the irregulurity of the movement was
a serious handicap. When John Burns
was fiuallY sent down from London
to take charge of the strike
the ranks of the men had been
broken, and it was too late to prevent
the collapse. The failure has depress-
ing effect on the labor leaders generally,
as they have had hitherto uniform
series of encouraging successes.
The crew of the steamship State of
Georgia deserted the vessel to-day just
as she was about TO sail for New York.
The cause of the action was that
the baker employed on board was nom
union man aud request for his dis
charge had been refused.
TO COVER UP SCANDALS.
The recently reported robbery of
Stuttgart mail train, when securities and
money amounting to 500, 900, be-
sides large quantity of let
ters, was stolen, Is now believed
to have been committed with
the primary purpose OF destroying GER
tain documents referring TO scandals in
which n number of German army officers
stationed at Stuttgart have become iu-
volved. 1t is said the officers were
aware that the report of a Sc
cret service commissioner to the
emperor was in the mail on that train,
aud at all events the report which is I'M
derstood to have been of u very damaging
nature, disappeared with the rest
of the mail matter. and it is
feared the original evidence accom-
panying II will never be recovered.
ANARCITIsM VS.. SOCIALISM.
The first anarchist meeting ever held
openly in Berlin has just taken place by
the permission of the police. The |
anarchists are not very numerous in
Germany Us compared with the Socialists, |
the anarchist programme not being at |
tractive to the methodical and regulation |
Teutonic mind. The meeting was |
q very tame and unimportant affair. |
The speakers claimed anarchists to be the |
bona fide followers Of Karl Marx, and |
declared Socialism was but weak SUBJ
stitute for the genuine doctrine of uni
VerSal freedom
