SPREADING SOCIALISM.
Schemes Adopted to Disseminate Prescribed
gnn;nlinAin


socialistic Literature.
BERLIN, Oct. 30-The socialists have
adopted an ingenious method OF distributing
some of the documents employed in their
propaganda. which are prohibited from open
circulation. In the rural districts many
pedd!ers are abroad vending portraits OF the
Emperor. On the backs Of tie pictures, ar
ranged so as not to Immediately catch the
eye Of the casual buyer, legends of a social
istic character are inscribed, over which the
rustic may ponder at his leisure when his
attention shall finally have been drawn to
them
A similar scheme is worked in Poland,
with variations Here the seditiOus litera-
ture is placed on the back of pictures of the
saints and the Pope, who occupy greater
part of the attention of the peasantry than
the picture of the monarch.
In both countries, in addition to the pic
ture plan. the use of almanacs for the pur-
poses of disseminating SOcialistic ideas has
been adopted. The Objectionable matter is
so cleverly hidden among the mass of ad-
vertisements and representations that its
presence can be discovered only by the
closest inspection OF each volume or PAM
phlet.

The steel cruiser Boston. which sailed from
New York last Saturday to re-enforce the
squadron there, will stop for coal at Santa
Lucia, in the West Indies, at Bahia, at
Monteyideo and at Sandy Point, in the

The Boston is a brig-rigGed vessel with no
armor. but with a steel protective deck one
and a half inches thick. She is also partially
protected by her coal bunkers, which are
eight feet thick above the water and five be-
low it. Her armament consists of two eight
inch breech-loading rifles, six sx-inch
breech- loading rifles, and eleven rapid-fire
and machine guns. She has 26 officers and
$50 men. The Boston carries with her stores
for years cruise and ammunition for the

1t May Not Be a Mere Naval Picnic for the
United States vessels-The Big Guns
in Fort Bueras

Whether the sending of additional United
States war-vessels to Chilean waters is in
tended as mere naval demonstration or as
prelude to more serious business the fact
has not been lost sight OF by the authorities
that Valparaiso is strongly fortified city,
and that the Chieans are trained by the ex-
perence of two recent wars in the maneu-
vering OF ironclads and the use OF heavy
ordnance.
