The Coming Congress of the Socialists.
The Toracaerts (Socialist) publishes re-
ports from leading committees in Germany
suggesting the subjects to be discussed at
the coming congress of the Socialist party.
Among the motions to be made is one that
the Socialist members of the Reichstag re-
sign every two years and take the opinion
of their constituents on their reelection.
This promises trouble for the central eI-
ecutive of the party, as it has the support
Of numerous circles.
The congress will again discuss the ques-
whether it ought to be branded as an enemy.
Herr Grillenberger declines to accept the
mandate he has received to attend the con-
gress as a delegate, on the ground that he is
too busily occupied with his electoral cam
paign.

contemplated no military measures in the
east of Europe in the immediate future. A
more probable reason is that the great
Hebrew bankers refused to have any rela-
tions with the Russian Government so long
as the persecution of the Hebrews con-
tinues in the empire.
Report attributes the failure of a large
firm of costumers here to embarrassments
that have arisen by large bill that the EN-
press has long left unpaid. Her expendi-
lures for dress and jewelry are immense,
she seldom wearing the same dress twice.
With the approach of winter the distress
among the poor becomes more clamorous
A mob which collected in one of the poorer
quarters threatened to pillage the shops
They threw police agent into a canal,
whereupon a body of mounted police
charged them and cleared the streets.
Boatmen saved the agent. A large number
of arrests were made.
