TRYING TO INCITE A STRIKE

Socialists Take Advantage OF the Rest
lessness of German Miners to Prom
uigate a Labor War But the Presence
of Police Prevents Demonstration.
Accused French omciaIs Ready for
Trial.
BERLIN, Jan. 9.-The miners in the
district surrounding Forbach. in Lor-
raine, have been uneasy for some time
past and the socialists, taking advantage
of their discomfort, have sought to in
cite the men to strike.
They endeavored to get the miners to
hold meeting yesterday for the pur
pose Of organizing a strike, but the
government being aware of the object,
forbade the meeting. Notwithstanding
the prohibition the miners attempted to
assemble at the place agreed upon. A
large number of police were present,
however, and prevented the meeting
from being held. Beyond mutterings
and cursing no opposition was offered.
The almost inevitable failure of strik-
ers in other German mining districts
seem to have had no effect upon the For
bach miners, but this is due entirely to
the extreme socialists who by their per.
nicious activity seek to gain recruits to
their ranks.

lis.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 9-The re-
markable vitality possessed by Mr.. Blaine
was shown in the rally he made yester.
day afternoon and last night. At noon,
or shortly before, it was the general be-
lief shared by members Of the family that
the distinguished invalid could not re-
cover but the family physicians, hoping
against hope, relaxed none of their ef-
forts to prolong his life. And he re
sponded to the remedies and treatment
In such satisfactory manner that tow
ard midnight Dr. Hyatt felt justified in
returning TO his home. where he remained
throughout the night. His departure
was overlooked by the watchers on the
outside, and until this morning It was
supposed che two physicians were in the
house.
All night long the faithful patient
vigil of the press representatives was
maintained, but there was no incident
to reward their watchfulness nor to
break the monotony Of the long hours
until shortly before o'clock. Then.
the light in the chamber Of the sick man
was suddenly turned on full and IN two
or three minutes IL was again lowered to
the point at which il had burned ever
since the house was closed for the night
and the family had retired

inquired Of each other. Various speeula-
tions we're indulged in, but none Of them
we're correct, as subsequent events
proved. In a minute or two DR.. Johns

shortly after this hour (6 a m the
front of tthe house was opened and
through the windows the interior ex-
hibited signs Of activity betokening the
beginning Of another days work. The
morning opened dark and murky; the
air was chilly with premonitions of more
snow, and the few early visitors hurried
by the house without stopping to inqnire
about Mr.. Blaine's condition. The fact
that he was yet alive seemed to satisfy
them.
Inquiries were made at the door by
the reporter at s o'clock and again at Q,
and both times the reply was that Mr..
Blaine was resting quite easily indeed,

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9--One Of the
closest friends of Mr. Blaine who was
admitted to the sick chamber last night.
passed the house shortly before o'clock
this morning, and saluting the watchers
said: 81 don't think you will have to
keep the vigil much longer. The light
of the life of Mr. Blaine is going out, and
do not think he will survive the next
twenty hours. His present condi-
tion is struggle between existence and

Many Anxious Inquirers.
Although the officials and other friends
of the stricken statesman who passed the
house on their way downtown did not
ring the doorbell, they almost invariably
inquired Of the newspaper reporters for
the latest report from the doctor and ap-
peared much relieved at the anewer
given. Dr. Hyatt visited the patient
about o'clock and remained an hour or
more.
In case Of Mr.. Blaines death It Is un-
derstood that the cabinet and Diplomatic
corps will observe period Of mourning
the same as If he we're still in official
life. While there has been no agreement
TO this effect, nor even consultation upon
the subject it is known that the British
minister and the secretary OF state would
give up their social engagements and
their example would in all probability be
followed.

At II o'clock, DR.. Johnston, who had

covered from the relapse Of Saturday

quite cheerful this morning and feel

Reinach, Kohn & Co., and NJ Guscave
EifIel the distinguished engineer.
Charles de Lesseps has caused three
English directors Of the Suez Canal Com
psny to be summoned as witnesses in his
behalf
The indictment against the accused
charges Charles de Lesseps, Fontaine
and Cottu with having employed fraud
ulent means to persuade people to be-
lieve in the existence of fallacious en-
terprises, and imaginary influence or
credit, thus causing divers persons to
remit subscriptions that would not other
wise have been given.
The second section Of the Indictment
relates to the Panama Canal loan Of
December 70, 1883. The accused are
charged with having tried to obtain
subscriptions to this loan on false pre-
tendes their attempted swindling being
only frustrated by circumstances in
dependent of their intentions.
Thirdly it is alleged that the accused
had misappropriated, or expended, with
view to prejudice the interests Of the
bondholders, effects and money given

specific purposes.

complice in the alleged swindling opera
tions and is accused of having received a
