A Great Meeting and a Strong Socialist
Movement,

Movement,
AS we go to press we learn that the
meeting held last Sunday In Chicago
under the auspices of the united Social
ist organizations of that city was a great
success. Turn Hall was crowded and a
large number of Americans were pre-
sent. The first speaker was Comrade
b. Berlyn, whose warm words enlisted
from the start the sympathes of the
large audience in favor of the object of
the meeting. Then came Comrade Rich.
ter who spoke in German with equal
success. Comrade Thomas j. Morgan
followed him and held his audience
spell bound with one of the happiest and
wittiest speeches which he ever deliver
ed. When he said that independent DO
litical action must be taken by the wage
workers in order to obtain that
political power through which alone
they can emancipate themselves eco
n0miCally, an anarchist exclaimed "Dy-
Mantle will do it,, Morgan replied"A
intellectual dynamite, through which
we may explode foolish notions and
stupid prejudices". He then put to
vote the question whether those
present would go to the polls and
cast their ballots for Socialism. An en-
thusiastic "aye" rose from the au-
dience it was almost unanimous, seven
anarchists only answering in the mega
tive. Again Morgan put the question to
a vote. "You must not" said he,
make under the influence of the
speeches which you have just listened
to a promise that you may not keep.
Consider well; reconsider, and tell me
now whether you feel that you can and
shall keep this promise" The same EN-.
phatic answer came from the multi
tude and the meeting adjourned amid
the greatest enthusiasm. 1t is very evi-
dent that solid Socialist movement has
at last been initiated in Chicago.

The two committees appointed by the
Central Labor Federation are at work
arranging entertainments for the benefit
of the miners. The Cart Sahm Club aud
other musical soclet have kindly
volunteered their services. So has a
Brooklyn company of amateur artists of
considerable talent and established repu.
tatlon. The probability, therefore, is
that two entertainments will be given,
one in the form of concert in one of
the largest halls of this city, the other a
dramatic performance at some theatre
here or in Brooklyn.
The United Machinists of New York
have issued subscription lists and in one
evening collected over $50 among their
members. They are good for $3.50
Other unions have done likewise The
matter will be submitted to Cigarmak-
ers' Union No. 80 at its meeting next
Sunday, and action thereon will prob,
ably be taken. The cigar trade is now
at standstill and the consequent
enforced idleness of its members, follow
ing closely upon the holidays, places
natural limit at this time to their well
known generosity; but we are assured
that they will nevertheless come to the
rescue to the full extent of their ability.
1t must also be born in mind that the
unions connected with the G. l.. F. have
lately contributed freely and are still
contributing to the relief of other work
ers on strike in this city and elsewhere
The feeling, however, is general that
the miners must be helped at the cost of
any individual and collective sacrifice
We shall publish in our next list of
the various donations that will then
have been made for the worthy purpose
in question and an account of the reports
which the delegates to the G.. l.. f. have
been instructed to make at next Sundays
meeting of that body concerning the
action of their respective unions.
We remind our subscribers that indi-
vidual contributions may also be sent to
the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE, in the CO.
lumns of which they will be duly ack-
no1ledged.

LACEY'S DEFENSE.
THE COMPTROLLER OF CURRENCY
JUSTIFIES HIS ACTS.
He Tried to Save the Keystone Bank as
Many Other Banks are Saved-The
Bardsley Investigation, Etc.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Referring to
the criticisms of his bureau in connec-
ton with the Keystone bank failure in
Philadelphia, Comptroller Lacey said to-
day, as matter of fact both the closing
of the bank and the appointment of q
receiver we're ordered by the comptroller
against the wish of all who had sufficient
interest to express an opinion. There
were many reasons why it was desirable
to avoid receivership, notably on ac-
count of its assets being SO largely in
real estate. The comptroller deemed it
his duty to aid in several hopeful at
tempts made to reopen the bank by the
contribution of new capital under a new
and competent management. AS matter
of fact it was officially reported to the
comptroller that $500, 900 Of new capital
had been subscribed, and that the Lucas
estate was expected to make good all
amounts due. Recent developments
have shown that these plans
could not have been carried
out, but they were sufficiently promis-
ing at the time to warrant the delay
asked for. Similar measures, Lacey
said, have caused the reopening for
business within the past six months of
at least four national banks whose cap
ital had been impaired, and two more
will open soon.

New York, June 3.--The Valparaiso
correspondent Of the World, under date
of April 30th, says: Chanaral, few
hundred miles north OF Caldera, was
the scene on April oath, of naval
battle, in which the merchant
vessel Bertha was sunk and a
flotilla of 81 three government
vessels defeated by the insurgent
cruiser Magellanes. The Magellanes
was attacked on the morning OF that
day by the Admirable Lynch, the Con-
dell and the Sergeant Aldea. The flo
tilla formed in triangle, the Magel-
lanes being in the opening thereof, and
exposed to raking fire from the three
vessels, while she could only work her
forward battery and light Hotchkiss
guns. She made every shot tell, how
ever, and soon the smokestack of the
Lynch was blown away, killing twenty
men. The Sergeant Aldea was nearly
blown to pieces, and the foremast of the
Condell blown into the sea. The forward
port battery of the Magellanes was Ell
ienced. The Lynch fired torpedo
which came straight for the Magellanes,
but by singular coincidence can

diverted the course of the torpedo to-
ward the bark Bertha, which was sunk
with the loss of two men. The govern
ment feet soon discontinued the battle
and put to sea, followed for time by
the insurgent cruiser.

CINCINNATI, June 3.--0ver 1000 people
went to the Latonia races today and
were soaked through with heavy rain.
Just before the races began hurricane
struck the grand stand, in which were
5000 people-one-third women. The
horse sheds outside the race-course were
picked up and strewn clear across the
railway track, two hundred yards
away. Binding sheets OF water
driven by forty-miles-an-hour hur-
ricane, drenched everybody. The wind
toppled the seats over and rolled them
toward the front; then, amid the
screams ofwomen, avid rush was made
for the broad central stairway that leads
to the plaza in front of the stand. Brave
men rushed into the crazy crowd and
averted a calamity. The crowd went
down safelysto shelter under the stand,
many women tainted. Half an hour
later the crowd was sitting on moist
benches watching the races. No casual
ties are reported.
