there are some things yet to be told
that have never been published. In
deed, of the mass of stuff that has been
given publicity in this community il
connection with these people during
the past few days. there is little bu;
what has caused those well informet
about the affairs of the society to smile
at the minimum of fact in the max
lmum Of story. Several weeks prior to
the death of Father Heinrich, and when
it became known that the eer Of
the remarka BILE old man was certainly
closing, the trustees of the society sent
an expert accountant of this city to
make d thorough investigation Of its
assets here.
1t has been alleged that the society
would show up fabulous wealth, anc
that 1T was practically bankrupt,
neither of which statements are true,
and both were given out without any
show of real authority for publication.
Since the beginning Of the work of in
vestigation referred to the accountant
has been busy, and on Friday last his
showing of the partially completed in
ventory footed up real estate, build
ings, manufacturing plants, bank
stocks, etc, to an aggregate of more
than 81, 600, 900, and the work was but
fairly well started.
1t IS stated on the authority of a
member of the society, whose position
enables him to know how The showing
progresses, that when the work of the
expert accountant is finished the
aggregate assets will foot up to not
less than $40, 900, 900, and perhaps more.

GERIANY'S GREAT SCANDAL.
Socialists Charge of bribery Causing
Much lueasineSS

BERLIN. Jan. The attempts of
several newspapers to smother in ridi-
Guile the Guelph fund scandal have not
succeeded. The details given III the
VorwHrts article concerning the dis
tribution of the money are too minute
to be dismissed as mere fabricationS
The social democratic central commit
tee undoubtedly is in possession of in
formal ton which corroborateS a part
or all of the story blished by their
organ. Although withholding for OBJ
vious reasons the names of the recipi-
entS of the brides, the VorwBrtS indi-
Gates their recuperations and politics
with exercises. Ten of the men
who were beneticiaries of the
fund, it says were officials of the
empire. Eight were generals, three
were judges, eleven were journalists
and twenty five were members. of the
reichstag. The deputies in question
were mostly national Liberals and
Conservatives, and received sums vary
ing between 81, 500 and 81, 700 each.
Three of the princip pal beneticiaries Of
the fund are believed to have been in
innate friends of King Ludwig of
Bavaria. The heaviest bri hing, says
the Vorwaerts, was done in 1886. The
National Zeitung's effort to dis credit
the whole matter as a clumsy canard,
on which the German officials could
not be expected to waste breath, has

WAsHINGToE Jan. DIR. johnson
said yesterday: ''Mrs Blaine is a little
better" When asked if Mr.. Blaine
sat NJ any yesterday DR.. johnson re.
piled in the negative.
1t is now fourteen days since Mr..
Blaine suffered the relapse which many
os his intimate friends feared would
speedily prove fatal. That he has
lived the old year out and witnessed
the coming Of another year is sur.
prise to many who have means OF
knowing just how i'll Mr.. Blaine has
been and who also know how sick he
is to-day.
While there are rumors from time TIC
time that Mr.. Blaine is to be removed
to some warmer climate, no prepare.
tions have thus far been made by the
family for such journey. The fact
that Mr. Blaine is not able to sit up
seems to be taken as evidence that the
period of his removal is very remote
at least. His physicians will not dis
cuss the question with any but mem
bers Of Mr.. Blaine's family.
It is understood that personally Mr.
Blaine prefers to remain in Washing
ton pending the termination of his il
ness. lie is fully aware that unless
lis physician accompanied him on his
Journey and remained with him he
would he running a great risk This
fact and another, that he could not
find elsewhere the comforts of his own
home, make Mr.. Baine, it is said, very
much aversc to being removed

When Fighting

, When Fighting.
LONDON, Jan. ,. New Years day
was notable only for the enormous
crowds of church-goers. All houses Of
worship were filled with persons anx
lous to hear the annual reviews anc
predictions of the clergy. At the City
Temple the Rev. DR.. Joseph Parker
preached with his swonted force and
dlrectness. His sermon, he said, was
intended to be a collection of MESA ges
to the various classes of the English
people.
His first message, he said, was &c
preachers, who must redouble their
efforts to tell the truth to / ich and
poor alike and not fear to expose cor
rupt;on in high places. His second
message was to the Roman Catholics.
They were high minded, chivalrous
and sympathetic. Nevertheless,

ment of the despoilation of the small
investor, as carried on by the bui ding
societies which failed in 1892. After
alluding to the rascaIity of conspicu-
Gus men connected with these socie-
ties, he said: TO the corpora ion
rogue l say: You should be hanged
with the rope and buried in the field
of Judas Iscariot."
After reciting briefly the story of
the Liberator Building Society and it's
wreck he stepped forward and shouted:
''The whole tale of this company's dis
aster is too horrible or words; hell is
not hot enough to punish some degrees
of cruelty.''
In giving his fifth message, adj
dressed to Archbishops and Bishops of
the Church of England, DIR. Parker
said: Il claim to be as much of a
Bishop as any of you. Bishops are
made in heaven, not on earth.''
The demonstration of the unem.
ployed at st. Paul's cathedral was en-
tlrely orderly. Some two thousand
men, with all the Tower Hill leaders,
marched ITO the cathedral shortly be-
fore service opened and took three
times the number of seats reserved for
them. Canon Henry Scott Holland
preached a sermon full of sympathy
with them. He spoke at length
of the need of social reforms to
relieve the suffering of the working
people and assured the menupresent of
his hearty cooperation in all legiti-
mate efforts to better their lot The
men listened attentively throughout
the service, and, as they were forming
in line outside the cathedral after
ward, cheered for the canon repeated

cathedral to Camberwell, singing the
