the property for a time. The reason
given is that owing to lack of cheap
transportation facilities it does not pay
to ship the ore taken out. It is thought

FREIGHT OF TREASURE.

The 81, OOO,O 900 Placed by Balmaceda on q
British Man-of-War.
The "rumpus'' which has been caused by
of the EspieRle, prior to that vessel leaving
VALPARAISO homeward bound. embarked
$1,OOO,O 600 On behalf of President Balma-
ceda. for convey ance to Montsvidio. is likely
to call attention to the order in council
which permits the captains of her majesty's
ships to carry treasure to the pecuniary
benefit of themselves and the commander
in-chief of the station, says the London
Admiralty Gazette. On the face of it there
does not appear to have been anything
aotYon. Tb In oapt HGmm Of hsr m oiesEs,s
ships are permitted to embark
treasures at their own risk, a certain pro-
por ton of the risk being borne by the COM
mander-in-chief who also receives a share
of the percentage permitted to be charged
for the same. A small proyortion is also
pital, but the country receives not a penny
on account of treasure conveyed in one OF
its ships. I'd
Under this extraordinary regulation, if
the amount stated to have been conveyed
by the Espiegle be correct. Commander
Clarke will have received Gl.0OO, Rear Ad--
miral Hothan 1000, and hospital
f600. 1t is manifest that such a regulation
as this is a survival of the DAYS when com
munication between places abroad was in
frequent and uncertain, and her majesty's
ships were accordingly permitted to be
utilized for the conveyance of
treasures when no other means wers
available. But such a regulation is
now obsolete and uncertain, Just
as is aim ost. altogether the CONVEYANCE of
specie at all. The action of Commander
Clarke, which. though undoubtedly within
the letter of the law, was manifestly most
injudicious, is likely to cause its Immediate
canceling, and such a scandal is conse-
quehtly never likely to recur. The Espieole
left Montevldeo for England on the 18th
inst. Commander Clarke on arriving home
is likely to find himself famous; but it may
be questi oned whether the 81, 600 he has, we
presume, received for conveying President
Balmaceda's stolen silver, will not in the
end prove an uncommon!y bad bargain for
him. The money conveyed by the Espiegle
out of Chill was Tin trust in the Santiago
treasury rs a security for CHILEAN note
holdera, and its abstraction is therefore
likely to cause a considerable commotion
throughout the world.

Brigadier General Kautz, who closes his

that he entered the army as a private SOL

indolent and wandering element of the

John d. Rockefeller, who has a larger

quarts of champagne at dinner. He also

N III IN
SOCIALISM, IN GERMANY.

less be the. largest and most important
gathering of socialistio reformers ever
known and we may rightly expect from
their discussions results which will have
a most important bearing on the future
of Germany. A few figures win show
the marvellous growth Of socialism in
the last twenty years. In 1871 the
socialistic vote amounted to 101,927. In
1881 it was 311,961, and last year it had
increased to 1,341,587. There are now
thirty-six socialist deputies, when in
1871 there was but one. But the socialist
party has likewise strengthened in other
ways. A system Of thorough and com
pact organization has been completed,
80 that now the party is as active and
we'll equipped with methods as n OF
our American parties. The general Or
ganization is called the propaganda and
is conducted by agents chosen by the
central committee, composed of twelve
delegates. They travel from town to
lOWA luz lihO Oul CdulphlkA OldtOA6
except that their campaign never ends.
They make speeches and circulate the
socialistic newspapers, of which there
are published more the than forty, in
Guiding nineteen dailies. Besides there
are many pamphlets and addresses dis
tributed free among a multitude Of
people. The funds are secured mostly
by weekly contributions from members
Of the propaganda and large subscrip-
tions from some Of the weather. social
lists. . " ~. SS.@ .5...- +. a
All these things mean that recognized
socialism in Germany is becoming
stronger each year, and that it is merely q
matter of time when it's adherents will be
N control Of the reichstag. 1t is not
the socialism Of anarchy OF communism
but a great movement based on clear
nd we'll defined lines and fathered by
intelligence and patriotism. It does not
aim to remove the government, but to
secure relief from the hardships OF the
military system and bring about features
of government enjoyed by the people Of
the United States. Bismarck's effort to
kill this outgrow,h failed, and the young
emperor has shown excellent sense in
announcing a policy designed to further,
at least, the privileges OF popular ex-
preston. He is right in believing that
the kaiser's position will be strengthened
by securing the good will not of his
absolute dependents, but of the leaders
of the masses, as we'll as the masses
themselves.
