Revolutionary Riot.

BERLIN, February a. The emperors
speech to the members of the Brandenburg
diet, who banqueted him, in which he said,
in reference to his proposed anti-socialist
legislation, 'sMy course is the right one,
and will be prosecuted to the utmost, 4" has
stirred up the people. This in addition to
his other statement, MY will is the supreme
law" has created a sensation throughout the
capital.
An instance of the heated passions of the
masses was exemplified when body of three
or four thousand unemployed men met by pre-
concerted arrangement in public way and
passed series of infiammatory resolutions
denouncing employers and system of gov
eminent which enabled the latter to crush
the workingman beneath the iron heel of
capital, and calling upon the government to
take steps to protect the interests of working
classes.
News of this bold gathering, in defiance of
the recent order of the authorities prohibiting
such meetings, spread with rapidly through
out the city. The result was social agitators
determined to take advantage of the excited
and unemployed men and make a demon
stration before the castle of the emperor.
Led by socialist agitators the workmen
marched in the direction of Unter-den-Lin-
den, the most celebrated avenue in Berlin.
The police were utterly unable to cope with
the roaring, swelling, enthusiastic crowd, en-
cOuraged by thousands of other persons who
watched their progress through the streets.
On arriving beneath the statue of Frederick
the Great, a halt was made and a socialist
leader made q passionate address to them,
urging them to carry their demonstration up
to the gates of the castle. Loud cheers
greeted the suggestion, and then at a signal
the workingmen began singing the Marseil-
laise and marched on, cheered by thousands
who had gathered in the broad avenue to wit
ness the demonstration.
The workmen, passing through the line of
the police which barred their passage, had
nearly reached the castle gate when a strong
detachment of police threw themselves across
the short portion of the thoroughfare inter-
vening between the rioters and the castle and
made a determined charge upon the head of
the woIkingmen's column. The latter for
moment or so, nerved 10y the roaring cheers
of thousands, stubbornly withstood the at
tack of the police and pressed onward by those
in the rear, actually managed to gain head
way and to beat back the powerful police de-
tachment.
The latter, however, rallied, and hitting
furiously right and left, wounded scores upon
scores of workingmen, who were trampled
beneath the feet of the officers of the law.
Somebody among the workmen called upon
them to retreat ana return one hundred thou
sand strong and be prepared to meet the
emperor's butchers, as they called them.
A retreat then commenced and soon devel-
oped into a fight and panic. The police
took 100 prisoners. Sixty or seventy wounded
rioters, who remained upon the field of bat
tie, were taken to the hospital.

iona. Th> pasture has been very dry up to
within the last three weeks. Practically, no
rain has fallen for nearly year, and the
losses of cattle throughout the territory are
already larger than for seven years. Joseph
Land, cattle inspector for Bens"a and Pan
tano districts, estimates the losses along San
Pedro above Benson at II Per cent, and on
the lower San Pedro 80 per cent. up to the
present time. New grasses have been started
by recent showers, and if the rain falls dur
ing the next three weeks to aid it, all will be
well. If not, grass will die, and probably
very few COWS and calves on the range will
survive the summer. Steers are harder and
will not suffer SO much.

How the Trouble Began.

BERLIN, March 1.-Trncing the immediate
genesis of the riots, it will be found in the
appeal of unemployed masons to Burgomas-
ter Forckenbeck for employment in munich
pal work. 7 he city authorities could give no
assurance of giving work to the unemployed.
Then followed the meeting of 81, 600 unem-
ployed Inasons, carpenters and painters. The
resolutions adopted by the meeting simply
declared that, in view of the distress prevail
ing, the state authorities might begin to erect
new buildings as soon as possible, and thus
furnish work for the destitute. There is no
truth in the report that the extreme sOcialistic
views were expressed and that the crowd de-
manded the government to furnish them
with work or bread. Several speakers made
addresses and proposed that demonstration
be made to show the people of Berlin and the
authorities the great number of men who
were out of work. The sense of the meeting,
however, seemed to be against making a
manifestation of any kind. The truth of the
whole matter is that the wOrkingmen at first
had nothing to do with the demonstration.
As the excitement expanded, the ferment
among the better class of workingmen mas
grown.
The emperor's advice to malcontents to
emigrate has added fuel to the flames, and
the end now cannot be told, though it is GER
tain that if the soldiery are called upon much
bloodshed will follow.
Berlin is not alone in troubles. Distress is
prevalent in every populous center in Ger
many, and the cry for bread is clamorous.
During the week bread riots have occurred
in Dantsic and Brunswick. Meetings of the
suffering poor have been held in Hamburg
and Breslau. In scores of places strikes that
have occurred during the past few months,
always resulting in the defeat of the men and
the exhaustion of benefit funds, have assisted
employers to reduce work, causing further
trouble for the men.

An Imposing Parade.

engagements had arranged for short parade
through the principal streets at p. m. At
that hour piece of artillery on the river
bank was let loose, and, headed by two brass
bands and drum corps. three divisions were
formed and marched through the streets. The
Grand Army was given the right of the line.
Following was carriage, guarded by ser
geant and six men, containing the Grand
Army baby, followed by the local posts. The
second division contained the Sons of Veter-
ans, followed by division composed of wag-
ons containing the children from the Sol
diers' Orphans home. 1t was the largest pa
rade and crowd ever seen in the city.

Mighty Interesting Reading.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 2.-Mr. Blaine
furnishes to the Associated Press for publica-
ton the following under the heading: "a
personal statement"
''Since the separatioySo of my son and HE
wife three and half years ago my family
havn silently borne every Misrepresentation,
every slanderous attack, every newspaper in
terview which it has pleased the now divorced
wife to inspire. The one person aimed at
has been Mrs. Blaine, and We have, perhaps,
been at fault in allowing a horror of the pub
lie discussion Of private matters, combined
with regard for the future of my grandson,
to permit so much calumny to go unanswered.
The last outrage of the kind, embodied in
the decision of the Judge at Deadwood, Oak,
assumes an official character which makes it
impossible to remain longer silent. To re-
main silent would be to accep. and perpetu-
ate a great wrong to my wlfe--a greater
wrong to my grandson than even a publica-
ton of the truth can irfiict upon him. II is
necessary in speaking that / should give a
summary, as brief as possible, of the mar
rage and the incidents which followed it and
led to the separation.
Here follows history of the case with ex-
all showing that she, at u, Unanswered and
entangled boy of II years and 10 months
into secret marriage and afterward deserted
him.
Mr.. Blame tells of providing a home for
the young couple and giving them an allow
ance of s, SEQ year until he could provide a
like sum himself, ETC., etc.
Mr.. Blaine's statement concludes:
Far be it from me to hold my son blame
less; though when his youth, his uncOm-
pleted education, his separation from the in
fiuences of home, the exchange of a life full
of hopes and anticipations for premature
cares and uncOngenial cOmpaniOnship are
considered, hold him more sinned against
than SHINING. B:t his mother, at no time,
in thought, or word or deed, attempted to
separate this man and his wife. On the con-
trary, she did not fail by iberality, by con-
sideration and extenuation to foster IN every
practicable way their happiness, if happiness
to them had been possible.

No New Federal Buildings.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 1.-The house

held spirited wrangle over the proposition
of Chairman Bankhead and others to stay
any and all applications for new public build.
ings. When the committee adjourned nc
conclusion had been reached, but the ques.
ton will be determined at the next meeting
of the committee. There is strong DISPOSE
ton on the part of few of the members te
adhere to Mr.. Holman's policy and provide
only for work now under way. Mr.. Abbott
and others, on the other hand, believe the
duty of congress is to provide for buildings
where the government service demands.
Should this policy prevail on this question it
will lay the Kansas City, Kan, federal build
ing project on the shelf, in which Represent
alive funston is interesting himself, and
knock out the project of Senator Vest to Sc
cure a building at Joplin. Both of these bills
are all right in the senate.

The mo Quorum" Case,

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 1.-The 'No
Quorum case, in which the legality Of the
Dingley worsted act was attacked by BALM,
Joseph & Co., importers, was decided by the
United States supreme court.
The Dingley &C. was passed through the
action of Speaker Reed in counting a quo
run when there was a quorum present, but
not voting. The importers maintained that
the speakers action was In violation OF the
constitution and the act was void.
The United States circuit court for the
southern district of New York, decided
against the United States.
Then the case came before the United
States supreme court. The court, in deci-
sion By Judge Brewer, held that the mo
,uorum" rule was valid, and that the house
had the right to make such rules.

A Marvellous Death.

NV YORK, March Harry Williams, 1e
years old, met with an extraordinary death
by an electric shock. Young Williams was
talking to a number of friends, who were
standing near pole which supported num-
Der Of electric light wires. It was noticed
that Harry had a portion of an iron hoop in
his hand, with which he would occasionally
strike the pole. suddenly, and without the
slightest warning, Williams sprang forward,
and at the same time uttered piercing
shrek. Then he sank motionless upon the
sidewalk, and when picked up he was found
to be dead. The only mark upon the body,
when it was examined, was a burL upon the
hand which had held the hoop.
1t is thought that there must have been a
leakage in the electric light wire pole and at
the moment of the cotnact of the boys iron
hoop with the pole he must have either
stepped into some water or upon another
piece Of iron and that completed the circuit.

BER1IN.-The emperor remained watching
from the windows of the castle, surrounded
by several generals and half dozen aides-de-
camp, until half an hour after midnight,
when he dismissed his staff, after receiving
reports by the Orderlies from all the military
and police districts.
Previous to retiring for the night the en-
peror dismissed the Alexander regiment of
guards, which had been ON duty throughout
the day with fixed bayonets. The troops,

ARBITRATION.
The Treaty Signed and Now
Awaits Ratification.
Seven Men to Decide the BehrIng
Sea Disputes; Two Each From This
Country and England and One
Each From France. Sweden and
Italy.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March Negotiations
between the United States and G,eat Britain,
looking to the submission to arbitl alton o.
the long pending controversy between the
two countries regarding the Behrins sea seal
fisheries, have reached q favorable conclu-
sion.
Sir Julian Paancefote, the British minister,
met Secretary Biaine and signed the treaty
of arbitration On behalf of Great Britain.
Mr.. Blaine signed the document on behalf of
this government.
The treaty is still subject to the action of
the British parliament and the United States
senate.
The board of arbitration will consist Of
seven persons, two representing the United
one each representing the neutral govern
ments of France, Sweden and Italy.
The treaty was signed almost at the same
time that the supreme court of the United
States gave its OPINION on the ex-parte case
submitted to it by the government of Great
Britain and the dominion Of Canada, regard
ing the right of the United States to exercise
exclusive jurisdiction over tho seal fisheries
in Behring sea.
The opinion of the court was based upon
the facts that the record OF the cas-, declares
that the intrudlng vessel was seized il Alas
kan waters, and this is not disputed; neither
did the owner of the vessel question the right
of the trial court to have jurisdiction In the
case.
The political question raised by the attor.
ney general, the court did not actually decide,
though it conveyed a very broad intimation
that if it had not narrowed the ground on which
70 have denied the writ, it would have de-
clined to have denied the writ on this ground,
as the court shall not pass upon questions
which are political in nature. 1t says the
matter has long been in controversy and ne
gOtiation between the two governments. 1t
recognized the honor paid the court in the
willingness expressed to have it review the
merits of fact as to whether or not this coun-
try's jurisdiction extends over the whole of
Behring sea, but that it did not think legal
tribunals should interfere with assertions of
territorial sovereignty made by other depart
ments of the government.

Situation at the Prussian Capital.

Situation at the Prussian Capital.
BERIIN.-The government is in no humor
to pander to the socialists in any way, and
any further overt act on their part to meas
ure strength with the authorities will be met
in such way as will make history for Ger
many.
There is no denying the fact that the situa-
ton is serious, and that it is SO felt to be by
the government.
The police are as yet intrusted with the
work of preserving order SO far as possible,
and though the troops were onfined in their
barracks, they have not yet been called upon
to face the rioters.
The disorders on the outskirts of Berlin
were Tar more serious than those that took
place IN the city. A body OF 2OO men TOOK
possession of LandShurg strasse and marched
to Gruenening, shouting, Yelling, and smash
ing windows of stores and dwellings along
the route. At the same time mob number
ing a thousand marched from Frankfurter
strasse to and along Schilling strasSe. They,
too, acted in a disorderly manner, jostling
the passers-by, smashing windows and yell
ing.
Similar scenes were enacted in Koenigs-
Their district. The police were unable to
cope with so many disturbances in so many
different localities, and for some little time
the rioters had thirgs all their own way.
relief detachment of soldiers marched
toward the castle to take the places of the
guards on dut there. They were followed
by large mob of roughs, who tainted them
with upholding the rich against the poor. A
body O. police had been drawn across the
street, near the imperial palace, to prevent
any one but the Guards from entering the
castle square. The roughs tried to break
through, and fight ensued between the mob
and police.
Finally detachment of mounted police
arrived and rode down the mob, which scat
were trampled on by horses, but the police
men had no mercy on the fugitives, and
drove their horses at head-long speed over
any of the mob who stood in their way.
Many were injured in this encounter. /: is
now evident that the ldiery will be used
only as last resort to establish order.
