with Mr.. Wilson's assertion that the
American people "were not hard to edu-
cate, because they had been trained by
tradition and Inheritance in the great
principles OF liberty?" II the masses in
the United States have been "quick to

disadvantages OF protection, how did Il
come to pass that the tariff reformers
were only able to make way "slowly ana

believes, and the evils OF protection have
been brought home TO the minds both of
the artisans and OF the farmers, the CON-

as Mr.. Wilson believes, the Repu blics ns
who still inscribe protection on the
party banners ought to be routed,
and the Democratic frondsurs who
defeated the policy OF the President and
OF the majority in the House of Repre-

that Mr.. Wilson does not venture upou

also stated that Mr.. Densmore, If appointed

LONDON, Feb. lS.--Samuels, the most
bloodthirsty of the London Anarchists. was
interviewed, today, concerning the explo-

knowledgcd that Bourdin, the Anarchist
killed by the explosion, was his brother-in-
law. Bourbin. he said, was one Of several
brave and determined men who believed the
only way to better society vas to destroy
the present syetem and build up another
The explosion at Greenwich, he believed,
was only the beginning OF an Anarchist
campaign carefully planned. and would be
executed despite all the precautions of the
police.
The suspicion that London Anarchists
made the bombs for use in France and
Spsio, be said, was old and probably the
current one. He himself did not doubt that
bombs and internal machines hsd been
manufactured here for some time for the
benefit Of comrades across the channel.

BERLIN, Feb. Is The Agparisns rallic,
their thousands in Berlin ycsts rdsy I,
make . fiosl protest agaiast the Russo
German commercial trerty. The a4sem
blages were enormous aud the enthusiastic
speakers were in deep earnest. Expecta
ton of defeat was apparent in the speeches
The Agrarians, IS well a. the public a
large, do not lorgtr doubt that the treaty
will be ratified BY the Reichstsg.
The study of Russiau concessions 10 tn
treaty 10 increasing in popularity. Besidel
what it actually gives, the treaty rsises ex
pectations of more. IL is believed the two
governments have an urerstanding which
points to reduction of Russian railway
tariffs and the recall of the German decree
forbidding the Imperial Bank to grant nd
vances on Russian loans.
Last Wednesday . debate ia the Pfuaslan
lower house widened the breach betweel
the bimetallists aud the government. The
bi-metallists have given up hope of accom-.
plishing through the current commission
anything more than few internal reforms
likely to increase the ute Of silver money
Even this hope may be in vain, for the gov
eminent declared recently in the Prussiau
upper house that NO great increase of silver
circulation was possible.
The Augusburger Abend-Z eitung pub
lished, Friday, several letters from the AZ
rican explorer Kalienburg, who confirms
the worst stories as to the i'll treatment OF
employed there in official service, Kallen-
berger says, are lashed for the slightest
offences, In the instances that came under
his personal observation, black soldiers got
200 strokes each and lost consciousness and
were carried in piiable condition to theii
huts.
August Bebel. the Social Democratic
leader, made a powerful attack in the
Reichstag Friday upon the administration
in Cameroons. He exhibited the whips Of
rLinocerus hi lie used in Furnishing the ma
tives. Vice Governor Leist of Cameroons,
he said, enforced the regulations that every
native must make . salaam whenever =
German passed him. If sitting or reclin
ing when the German approached, the ma
tive must spring to his feet in time to make
the salute.
Prince Won Arenberg told the committee
on colonial estimates that he had decided
to introduce bill Furnishing slave trading,
and altering in several other re-
spects the colonial administration. which.
he said, was . bad specimen Of
military and bureauratic abuses.
Chancellor Won Caprivi deprecated the
savage attacks upon the officials in the
Cameroons. Judgment should be reserved,
be said, until the accusations against the
officials were proved or disproved by gov
ernment inquiry. The Chancellor turned
upon Bebel and hotly made scorching re-
view Of his speech against the colonial ad-
Both inside and outside the

CUTDOWH OR SHUTDOWN.
Fall River Manufacturers Can't
Longer Stand the Pressure.


FALL RIVER, Feb. lS.-There Is q move
ment already afoot here to reduce wages in
the local mills il the present business holds
out four " ~eeks Ionxef. One of the largest
ow ners of four or Ave different mills told
one of his treasurers, the latter palt Of the
week, that he did not approve of running
much longer. while goods are selling at the
present prices. He declared. pos,tisely.
that the operatives would be asked to
choose between . shutdown or cu,down,
before the first of April.
In response the treasurer said he did not
believe the other agents would consent to
shut down, though the maj ority would vote
for cutdown, il the matter was brought
before them.
Several manufacturers wanted to cut
wages last fall more than was eventually
sgreed upon, but at that time the majority
Of the mill owners were looking forward to

new year and would not agree to large
reduction for that reason. Last week.
mark-down of Americsn Printing Com
pany's products csssed many treasurers to
lose hope Tor permanent advance in
prices before summer. Inasmuch as most
have been running without making much
money, they feel free to express themselves
in favor Of further declineiin prices of
labor.
Last weeks sslea were but l2S 900 pieces
and the stock on hand went up 81 900
pieces. One hundred and twenty-six thou
sand pieces were cold for delivery next
week and only 81 900 pieces for the week
following.
Although the, n i'll owner mentioned
speaks positively regarding his future at,i-
tude. should basiness not improve, q few
treasurers dc not wish to even speak of
cutting down. One said within few days
that he prefers to let New Bedford, Lowell
and other places take the initiative, and if
the reductions are accepted 10 those places
ne will be willing to lake similar action
here. Meanwhile tbeis are reports Of un-
lerselling by outSfda parties. Leading
