THE GERMAN SOCIALISTS.
No Likelihood That the Mountaineering
Legislators VIII be Prosecuted.

BERLIN. December 1.-THE free con-
sentative party have unanimously decided
to support the motion of the prosecution
for socialist members of the house, re-
sponsible for the scene at the opening of
the reichstag on Thursday last.
All the special dispatches from Berlin
agree that there is no chance that the
Ieichstag will vote for the prosecution OF
the socialists.
A Berlin dispatch to the Standard says
that the centrists Will hold the balance or
power.
The dispatch adds that the editor of the
Socialist was arrested today on the charge
of lese majestic and blasphemy.
The barracks of the first railway re2f-
ment at Schonberg was searched for five
hours today. Socialist literature was found
in possession of one of the soldiers.
Herr Singer has been appointed chair
man of the committee to whom has been
referred the motion to punish the SOCIALIST
members. of the chamber of deputies who
refused to rise and cheer for the emperor
on Thursday last in the reichstag. II Is
said that this committee is certain to pre-
sent an adverse report
A canvass of fifty-two members of the
reichstag shows that the anti-revolution-
airy bill Will not pass in its present shape,
and it is doubtful ii the government will
accept any modification of this measure.
During the budget debate in Che reich
stag today Herr Won Kardoff declared that
the imperial party pidCeu Tue iulltSt CoHii-
dence in Prince Hohenlohe.
Herr Rickert asserted that General Won
Caprivi was compelled to resign the chan
cellorship before the onslaught of the
sgrarians But. he added, they would
never be able to burst the barriers of Ger
many's commercial treaties.
Herr Liebenecht said that when the
speech from the throne announces the re-
moval of burdens from the shoulders of
the wealthy classes and In the same
breath increases the tobacco tax, which
only affects the poor. Il call this an EN-
pire of hypocrisy"
An uproar followed this remark and
Herr Won Levetzow. president of the reich
stag called Herr Liebenecht to order. say
ing that he would not permit the use OF
such disrespectful language toward the
emperor.
Thereupon Herr Liebenecht corrected his
speech in order that it might read as fol
lows: 1.-TWO passages of the emperor s
speech alluded to an implied contradiction
which could not be more marked
1t Is reported that the socialists will
force a debate on the proposition to pros
ecute them, in order that the privileges OF
members of the reichstag may be more
Clearly defined.
Herr Liebenecht declares that the pros
ecutions are foolish and that the social
lists could not be blamed for refusing to
honor a man who is the enemy of their
party. Such prosecutions" he ADDS, ARE
possible in Germany alone of all civilized
countries"

Trying the Case Against the q. and D.
Road.
In the case of VIM p. and Laura p.
Howard against the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company. in which $4,000 dam
ages were claimed because of injuries re-
ceived by Mrs. Howard in an accident at
Soldier. KY, November 10, 1885, the plain
tiffs were permitted to withdraw juror
today, and the case was continued.
Mrs Howard purchased ticket from a
scalper over the Chesapeake and Ohio
Company's road and was injured through
the Pullman car in " hich she was seated
leaving the track. At the conclusion OF
the plaintiffs testimony Messrs. Robinson
and Willoughby for the company moved to
take the case from the jury, arguing that
no case had been made out. That motion
was overruled, and the question which the
defense had intimated they would raise, as
to whether or not the Chesapeake and Ohio
Company could be held responsible, the &C
eide not having occurred on its own line
was not considered, Messrs. Henkle and
Smith preferring to have it determined al
the next trial of the case.

TEN MILLION DOLLARS.
The Sum Realized From the Sale OF
Captured and Abandoned Property.

Mr. Lewis Jordan. chief of the miscel-
laneous division, has made a report to the
Secretary of the Treasury in regard to the
proceeds from the sale of captured and
abandoned property, from which it appears
that this fund amounts to $1O,OOOOOO. de-
rived from the sale of cotton, ships and
miscellaneous property seized during the
war He says That there is a popular i'm
preston that the entire fund was realized
from captured cotton, but that as mat
ter of fact, about A,25O,OOO Of 1t was de-
rived from that sc URGE. Nearly IL not all
of this amount represents the proceeds OF
sales of cotton captured after the close OF
the war; and which belonged to the con-
federate government The cotton seized
after June 80. 1865, yielded 81, SSG,6il: and
of this amount there was returned, under
act of 1872, s195, S9621, leaving $4,000, IA ~.
During the past year there We're three
applications lde under the act OF October
10, 1888, for informers' shares of fines col
lected from violators of the alien contract
Labor laws. The ar Yards made amounted
to 1893. 15, being in each case, respectively,
300 1915 and 500

During the hearing of the case before
Judge Cox today, Mr.. j. J. Johnson called
the attention of the court to a certificate,
upon which, he explained, he would have a
petition for leave to intervene in the suit
against the Fidelity Building and Loan AS
ISOLATION tomorrow. The paper certtfies
that Robert Bradin of Washington d. c.,
has paid into the associations expense
fund $S57.47, subject to the following con-
ditions: 1. Interest will be allowed on this
certificate at the rate of 10 per cent per
annum, interest paid semi-annually In cash
at the central office. 2 This certificate may
be withdrawn upon giving ninety days
notice in writing to the secretary, and shall
be payable on the sixth day of the month
following the expiration OF said notice
after two years from date of this certifl-
cate, from surplus in the expense fund.
8. The board of directors reserve the right

ficate at any time by giving the holder
thereof thirty days notice In writing. 4.
The money received on this certificate shall
be used exclusively for the working ex-
penses of the association, and all interest

Mr. Johnson said that his Client the per-
son to whom the certificate was issued
was an old one-legged soldier, who had
deposited his savings in the association

ton that he would be perfectly safe in
so doing. That his clients money had

NOT TO BE REPEATED.
A Mysterious Remark Regarding the
District Jail.

1t was stated at the City Hall today that
ut a meeting of the judges of the District
Supreme Court held yesterday afternoon
Judge Cole had been designated to conduct
an investigation of Warden Leonard's man
agement of the District jail. particularly
rs TO the release of the prisoner Whiteford
Saturday afternoon. But when Judge Cole
was questioned as to the correctness of the
rumOr this afternoon, he replied: There is
nothing in 1t. The matter was not even
mentioned at the meeting.
"But / sent for Mr.. Leonard" Judge
Cole continued, for the purpose of salts
flying myself I discovered that the man.
release was a bad mistake. but l think It
was one which has occurred there before.
II was, of course, very unfortunate that
two such releases should have occurred
there within a very short time, and the
fact that they did occur naturally gave
rise to much unfavOrable comment. But"
remarked Judge Cole. 1T is pretty certain
that such thing will not occur again"

OUTRAGES ON AN AMERICAN.
Treatment of William ii. Arsall by
Guatemala.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, December r.
The steamer Colon, which arrived from
Panama and way points, brought particu-
lars of the outrage on William Henry Ar
gall, an American citizen. by the Guatema-
an government. Argall had the temerity
to question the authorities of the Jefe Po-
litico of Guatemala when the latter at
tempted to steal some land. Argall was
thrown into prison for his audacity. While
In the penitentiary he demanded to see
the commandant and was brutally beaten
by the officer, IN. charge Of the prison.
United States minister Young heard of
the outrage and demanded the release of
his countrymsn. The president of the re-
public has been appealed to and he showed
his contempt for Americans by postponing
action and keeping Argall incarcerated for
twelve days. s!.tr the end of that time the
doors Of Argalrs dungeon were thrown
open.
A complaint was formulated and sent on
to Washington. The result has been that
the Imprisonment of Argall has taken the
shape of an International issue.

vice Resolution.

The next meeting of the beard OF trade
will be held on Tuesday evening next at

posed to this vicious tax, he said.
The bill he had introduced for its repeal
he knew would never see the light of day.
and the opponents OF that tax must make
their fight again against the appropriation
necessary to make II operative. He real
ICED that the majority OF MS party were
against him, and that the republicans
would not support him as a party. Yet he
did not consider 1t a party question. The
democrats had, in his opinion. made IA

a mistake had been satisfactorily proven
within a few weeks at the ballot box.

BUSINESS IN THE HOUSE.
Appropriation Bills to BE Pressed
without Any Delay.

Representative Patterson OF Tennessee,
who had charge of the railroad pooling bill
which passed the House yesterday, says
that he does not think that there will be
any trouble about getting this bill through
the Senate, and he is perfectly confident
that IL will speedily become law. The
next thing of Importance which the COM
mittee, on Interstate and foreign commerce
will press for action, he says, Is the Mic
aragua canal bin. AS soon as the commit
tee can get a hearing before the House he
says that they Will call up this bill, and he
Is entirely confident of its passing. The
measure he says, Is strong in the House
and as strong. IL not stronger, in the SEN
ate. He therefore expects 1t TO be passed
by both Houses and become law during
the session. With these two measures 10
their credit. he says. the COMMITTEES VIII
have reason to be very well satisfied with
heir work.
To Press Appropriation Bills.
The House committee on appropriations
propose to press their bills ahead of every
thing else between now and the recess
The urgent deficiency bill. which carries
an appropria ton for putting into opera
ton the income tax law, was called up In
the House this morning. and the purpose
of the committee is to force vote on II
today notwfthstar ding the TACT that strong
opposition to the income tax appropriation
exists. Gov Sayers, chairman or the com
mittee, says that as soon as this measure
Is disposed OF he proposes to take up the
pension and the fertilization bills one after
the other. and that by the time they are
disposed of the District of Columbia Dill
will be ready and will be called up for ac-
ton at once. He wants to rush all the ap-
preparation bills through with very little
time for talk in the first part of the ses-
sion and will not be disposed to give way
for anything until they are out OF the way.

Murder.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. December 49,
General Kennedy. one Of the murderers Of
the night telegraph agent of the Nashville
and Chattanooga railway at Shell Mound.
who is to hang next Monday, will be mar
ried in the county Jail at Jasper this even
ing to Miss Martha Taylor. Both General
and John Kennedy are to be executed Mon
day. They are wholly unrepentant and
blasphemous in the extreme They curse
and swear at all who come near them.
They curse the ministers who have tried to
convert them. Said General to a preacher:
I'D rather die and go to hell than to for
give ex-Sheriff Rogers"
Rogers Is the sheriff who was in charge
of the murderers after their first escape,
and who put them in chains to keep them
from escaping again. Both men prefer to
believe that their sentence will be COM
muted. All arrangements have been made
for the hanging. and no probability of any
stay of execution is anticipated, as proof
against them is conclusive.
