DIsCORDANT DELEGATES.
No Practical Results Obtained by the
Socialiat Labor Congress.

No Practical Results Obtained by the
Socialist Labor Congress.
BRUSSELS, August l9.-The British
delegates to the Socialist workmen's
congress, today, rejected BebePs amend
ment providing that all candidates for
public office must accept the full Social
ist programme, the British declaring
themselves Labor and not Socialist dele
gates. They adopted modified resolu-
tion to the effect that workmen should
exert their political rights to
secure any useful reform. The
congress, after lengthy discussion,
passed the resolution virtually as modi-
fed by the British delegates, with the
provision that there be organized in
every county permanent commission
to inquire into the conditions of labor.
One Cahan, of America, said: ut is
useless to beg, cringe and fawn for need
ful legislation. We must forcibly ex-
tort reforms and the abolition of the ex-
listing conditions." After resolution
was adopted, he opened discussion on
the attitude of labor toward the Jews
and urged sympathy toward the
latter. This started lengthy debate,
the committee reporting against anti
Semitism as a device of capitalists to
SOW mischief among workingmen, while
many speakers reminded the congress
that Jewish bankers and fnanciers were
also great oppressors. Finally resolu-
ton was passed cohdemning both anti
Semitism and Jewish financial tyranny.
This impossibility of reconciling con-
Aicting opinions and interests is the
key note Of the whole proceedings of the
congress, its discussions leading to no
practical result.

Sids-The President Presented a Gold
Medal.

BENNINGTON, VT, August 19.-At the
banquet at the close of the exercises at
the monument this evening President
Harrison spoke again. He eulogized
New England character, which he said
had been source of strength to the
nation. That devotion to local self
government which originated true
democracy was the cause of
the development Of love of So
cial order and respect for law,
which characterizes New England COM
mupities. 'sI believe," he said, "that
We have come to time when we may
look to greater things; when we may
take a large part in the great trans
actions of the world. l believe
our people are prepared to in
sist that the American flag shall
again be seen upon the sea, and that
our merchants and manufacturers are
ready to seize the golden opportunity
now offered for extending our commerce
into Central and South America.
l believe a conservation of finance
will prevail in this country.
am sure discomfort and temporary
distress will not tempt our people to
forsake those safe lines of public admin
istration in which commercial security
alone rests. As long as the general
government furnishes the money of the
people, believe we will insist, as have
said before, that every dollar issued,
whether paper or coin, shall be as good,
and be kept as good, as any other that
is issued.
"May 1, in closing, tender to these good
women of Vermont my thanks for the
grace and sweetness which their services
and presence have lent to this happy
occasion! May 1 say to them that the
devoted services of their mothers, their
courage and patience and helpfulness
shown in the great struggle for liberty,
cannot be too highly appreciated.
All honor to the New England mother,
the queen of the New England home
Here, in these nurseries Of virtue and
truth, have been found the strongest in
fuences that have moulded your people
for good and led your sons to honor"
Great cheering.]
The president was then presented a
gold medal commemorative of the oc-
casion.
Governor Russell spoke for Massachu-
setts, Governor Tuttle for New Hamp-
shire. and Major-General Howard for
New York. Among other speakers were
General Alger, of Michigan, Secretary of

Peter Langevin, on oath, denied Con-
tractor Starrs statements made in evil
dence, Friday. He gave complete ex-
PLANTATION of the circumstances con-
nected with the withdrawal of the ten
ders of o. Hanley and STAIRS for the Es-
auimault dock contracts, which STAIRS
said was done at the suggestion of Sir

care to take contracts on which they
had to pay deposit OF 5 per cent. of the
contract price.

SAN Francisco, August 19.-On July
23d, last, Carl Schoer, a mining
prospector from Australia, was
drowned while bathing in the
ocean near the Cliff house, in sight
OF his wife, to whom he had been mar
ried only week. 1t was thought
Schoer left considerable property, and
his wife has been trying to find it. To-
day a woman, who says she was Schoer's 8
wife, arrived here from Butte, Mont,
and met Mrs. Schoer No. 2. On COM
pairing their accounts, a singular story
of the drowned mans duplicity was un-
folded. Mrs. Schoer No. l says she was
married to Schoer ten years ago,
and they accumulated little
property in Butte. Her husband went
to Australia, and last May wrote her to
join him there. Instead of waiting for
her he took passage for San Francisco.
With him came Miss Taylor, whom he
married on reaching here. He expected
by the time he reached San Francisco
that his first wife would be on the way
to Australia. Instead, she missed the
steamer. and it is thought that Schoer,
fearing prosecution, for bigamy, COM
mitted suicide. The second wife gave
all her money to Schoer, and is now left
penniless.
