GgRMANY'5 SOCIALISTS
The Leaders issues a New Manifesto
to Their Followers.

to Their Followers.
Copyright, 1890, bV Ne,1 York associated Press
BERLIN, Dec. 2L-The socialist leaders
issued a manifesto tonight The document
affirms the determination of the socialist
party to rally the peasants around the flag
of socialistic reform. IL says that the life
of the agricultural laborsrs is scarcely
human, and that they are serfs in oil but the
name. They are opposed to the tyranny
of capital quite as much as are the
Russian factory hands. The bright dawning
of new era shall bring rel icing to the
peasants as we'll as 10 the toilers in the
cities, and they shall learn that they have a
right to the beautiful earth, the fruits
whereof they may stretch forth their hands
and enjoy. They must be taught that the
patriarchal system is the mortal foe Of the
agricultural laborer.
SLAVES OF MACHINERY.
Peasant. proprietor and arissocracy are
becoming brandy distillers and will make
the peasants slaves of machinery, as the
town-w orkers have already been made
The poetry of country life has departed
and can only be restored through
relieving the peasants from the
heavy burdens arising from their
oppressed condition and giving them
higher sense of existence. The manifesto
concludes by asking the members OF the
party to contribute money to assist in the
rural propaganda. Behind the declarations
in the manifesto, which the government
might disregard, are practical arrangements
for lecture tours, the dissemination of
socialist leaflets and formation OF
rural branches, which are already having
disqrieting effect upon the official mind.
The nature OF the manifesto was known TO
the government before its publication, and
the matter was referred 10 the emperor,
who instructed that nothing should be done
to suppress it.

DICKINSON, N. D., Dec. 27.-Lieut.
Suydenham and Scout Spencer of Capt.
Fountains command, of the Eighth cav

They report that there is no foundation for
the story that the command was hemmed in
by 500 hostiles in the Cave hills. Capt.
Fount ain had not. UP to Christmas morn
ing, been able to discover any trace of the
Indians, but had learned that Sitting Bulls
followers are on their way 10 the Piue
Ridge and Cherry creek reservations. The
stories about ranchmen murdered and
property destroyed by the hostiles are also
stated to be unfounded. As far as the mill =
tary authorities here are aware. not shot
has been exchanged between the Indians
and troops. general summary Of the dis
position of the troops shows that the entire
reservation is bemmed in by troops ready
for the field, and fears of an outbreak in
the spring are groundless.

SC0TLAND'S BIG STRIKE.
TRAINS NOW MORE REGULAR AND
MORE PUNCTUAL.

The Supply of Coal at Glasgow for
Steamers Nearly Exhaus:ed-Dan-

Glasses the Sufferers.
GLASGOW, Dec. 27.-There is q slight
change for the better in connection with
the railroad strike. Even the strikers ad-
nit that the railroad companies are making
improvements In the train service. The
number Of regular and punctual trains are
increasing, aud with this Improvement the
hope of success for the strikers gets smaller
and smaller. The North British railway
directors have declined TO allow the Mother
well engine drivers to return TO work, in
spite OF the fact that these men have ten

great assistance in breaking up the remains
of tie strike, as coal, with the drivers as
slstance, could be brought In considerable
quantities from Motherwell. which is coal
district situated about thirteen miles from
this city. Freight traffic is still in a state
OF almost complete paralysis, and the num-
Der OF factories aud mills which are closed
on account OF the strike increases day by
day.
STEAMERS wITAoUT COAL.
The strike has now seriously affected
another branch Of business. Following the
union announcement that mills, factories
and docks were closing their gates owing to
lack OF fuel comes the statement that the
shipping trade OF this port will soon be at a
standstill, as the supply Of coal available for
steamers is almost entirely exhausted.
HARD ON THE POOR.
Should this state Of affairs continue much
longer considerable suffering must fall to
the lot of the poorer classes Of the people,
especially upon those who depend
upon actual days wages for their
daily bread. Should tho steamshipping
trade come to standstill here. many other
trades directly or indirectly depending upon
this shipping must also suffer. The steam
ship companies 1t is understood, have
ordered coal to lie sent here by water, but
several days at lcast must elapso before it
can reach this port.

The Whole Question Affecting Wage
Farmers to be Expounded.
PARIS, Dec. 27.-Advices from Rome
state that the pope has finished the draft of
his encyclical upon social questions. His
holiness has been working upon the subject
for over year, and at his request the
most competent economists and bishops
OF the different countries, In
cluding America. have furnished
memoranda. Tue pope considers the ques-
encyclical will be the crowning act of the
pope in this direction. The date Of its pub
lication has not been fixed. The pope Is in
the habit Of carefully correcting and pol
ishing his writings. He will also consult
with cortain cardinals and prelates on lead
ing passages Of his encyclical, but the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent is enabled to
give the substance Of it now.

The encyclical will review and expound
the whole question affecting wage workers
The document will comprise three parts
The first part will develop the principles
upon which social economy Is found cd and
the dominant idea Of distributing Justice
which should regulate the intercourse OF
men and the spread Of wealth. The pope
says that distribution and restora-
tive justice is needed TO pre-
vent misery and suffering on ono
side, and exorbitant riches and tyranny on
the other. The second part comprises the
origin and cause OF the present condition of
the social problem. On this point his holi--
ness takes a new thesis, first developed in
bis eacyclical on socialism.

The third part contains the views Of the
pope regarding the remedies, beyond re-

will take place Monday is Officially stated
to be premature. William O'Brien com
plains of number of false statements made
in the newspapers here and attributed to
Mr.. Gill and himself. Mr.. O'Brien espe-

Mr.. O'Brien has not yet seen Mr.. Parneil,
but it is said he expects to meet him next
week.

Since William O'Brien's arrival he has
been beset by horde of French and for
eign reporters, but he has not yet breathed
a word as to whether he favors reconcilia-
tlon with Mr.. Parnell or will ad-
vocate a permanent rupture with
his former leader. Among the i'm
portant communications which eIMr.
OBrien found awaiting him at Boulogne
was letter from a leading English radical
stating that the split in the Irish party
must soon be repaired, otherwise the lib
erals would be forced to subordinate home
rule for Ireland to other questions. Paris

SILVER POOL CHARGES.
An In clination to Report the Dockery

An In Inclination to Report the Dockery
Resolution Favorably.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The final conclu-
sion with respect TO the Dockery resolution,
providing for an investigation of the
charges that representatives and senators
were interested in a silver pool, will proba-
bly, be reached by the rules committee soon
after the holidays are over. The COM
mittee, when last the subject was con-
sidered, discussed the advisability of
summoning few witnesses to be in
terrogated under oath before deciding
what report TO make to the House on the
resolution. It was thought If regularly
subpoenaed the correspondents of the st.
Louis Globe Democrat, in which the charge
of the legislative silver pool was originally
made, might be willing to make some more
tangible statements than they had pub
lished or had been willing to volunteer to
the committee.
THE SPEAKERS ATTITUDE.
The speaker was favorable to this course,
as he has doubt of the propriety of the in
vestigatlon The charges do not make spe-
cifc and definite allegations, or give cir
cumstantial detail, and the committee
thought the charges should have more basis
than simple newspaper publication upon
which to order an Investigation. Messrs.
Beunt and McMillin, the democratic mem
bers. thought the committee would be Justi-
fed in ordering an investigation, and mr. Nc
Kinley was also OF the opinion that an inves-
tigation ought 30 be had. A decision to
report the Dockery resolution TO the House
with a favorable recommendation had
almost been reached, when the shipping bill
and other matters came up and postponed
the determination OF what 10 do with the
resolution.
