POLITICAL.
Watterson of the Courier-Journal,
KY, opposes Hill for the presidency
and advocates the nomination of Car
Isle.
There is still talk of booming STAN
ford for the presidency.
The Illinois Democrats want Palm
er for President.
The municipal election in Logan,
Utah, resulted in Republican maj
GRITTY of a. The election was holly
contested. Logan was looked upon
as Democratic stronghold. 1t is
the home of Apostle Thatcher,
man of great personal influence and
strong Democrat. The Democrat
nominee for Mayor was the son of a
prominent Mormon Democrat. 1t is
asserted by the Mormons that the re-
suit effectually disposes of the ques.
ton of the Mormon Church influence
in the political field.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
An explosion occurred at the Char
teroi mine, Belgium. The debris
and the carcases of forty horses
blocked the approach to the gallery
where the bodies of the miners are
known to be. Two hundred and
seventy persons were working in the
mine at the time of the explosion.
Every person working in the lower
gallery is believed to be dead and
few are expected to be rescued from
the upper gallery, which is filled with
deadly gases. Many women and
children were working in the mine.
The mine will be flooded. 1t seems
to be the only way to quench the
flames of this terrible PIT of fire. The
total death roll is 215, of which ITO
were burned alive. Great suffering
among the families must result. The
Government has ordered the distri-
button of relief.
Anarchists tried to blow up M.
Benoit's residence at Paris, March
18th. The staircase was demolished
and windows, mirrors and pictures
shattered. One servant was badly
injured by broken glass. The dyna-
mite was evidently introduced into
the house by anarchists to avenge
one of the tenants. nj. Benoit is the
counselor of the Court of Appeals
who presided at the trial in Paris of
the anarchists arrested on May 1st
last year. He returned two days
before the explosion, from Rheims
where he had been presiding at an
other trial. 1t seems to be fact,
and very deplorable one too, that
the anarchists have opened cam
paign upon all against whom they
have special grievances. They have
quantity of dynamite in their pos
session, although the police found
none when they searched the houses
of the leading anarchists. M. Loze,
Project of Police, attributes the ex-
plosion to an accident, but the agents
of the Prefecture are uneasy and be-
lieve the coming May day will be
very disquieting.
Spain is the country about which
the most alarm is felt. 1t is more
Slapped by anarchists than the people
thought, fresh outrages occurring
daily. At Valencia they attempted
to blow up church. At Barcelona
another attempt has been made to
destroy the German consulate, the
police arresting the criminals as they
w n tn MT -,
ton. At Jerez within the last week
319 anarchists have been arrested.
All the energy of the authorities
seems to he Intellectual. AS fast as
they are broken up the anarchists
form new societies. So many are
suspected that there would be no
end to the arrests if all the suspects
were arrested. At Valladold the
anarchist propaganda is made pub
licly. Delegates travel through the
surrounding towns aud villages stir
ring up disorder. Similar events are
happening in Malaga. If all the
Spanish anarchists were in accord the
monarchy might tremble, but they
are constantly disagreeing, and on
May lst, instead of a revolution,
there will be only insignificant scat
tering uprisings.
The German Socialist movement
is taking a new turn. In Berlin the
young Socialists are breaking
away from the mass of the party, be-
cause Bebel and Liebknecht are too
slow in their methods. The seces-
sionists are preaching riots and hold
ing public meetings every night to
protest against their leaders and pass
motions almost as hostile and iniuri-
GUS to Liebknechts supporters as
the Government could imagine. 1t
is the secessionist element in the So
cialist party which causes the street
outbreaks and which is responsible
for the riots which gave so much
trouble last month
A meeting of $4,000 unemployed
people was held al the Tivoli gardens
in Berlin last Saturday, but there
was no disturbance. A split among
the Socialists aids the authorities in
distinguishing the dangerous anarch-
list section from the moderates. The
anarchists are Increasing. The cFon
