Herr Fischer, Socialist member of the
Reichstag, who was for some time en-
ployed as an editor of the Vorwaerts,
the Socialist organ, complained at a
public meeting yesterday that the paper
habitually garbled reports, and left out
or smoothed down remarks in reports
of speeches that were unpalatable to
the editors He himself. he declared,
had been obliged, IN order to get ac-
curate reports of his own speeches at
the recent Social democratic Congress
at Breslau, to go to the columns of the
Conservative Post.
The Munich General AnZeiger, which
journal is in touch with the Bavarian
Cabinet announces the decision of the
Ministry to declare Prinse Regent Luit-
pold King upon the tefSh anniversary
of his regency June 10, 1896. The
paper adds that the people are unani-
nous in their approval of such step.
Prince Luitpold is an uncle of the pres
ent hopelessly insane King Otto.
The Local AnZeiger says it is con-
vinced that President Cleveland is not
animated by any positive illfeeling to-
ward Germany, although there is much
in his recent message to Congress that
is unpleasant, but he was obliged to do
something to increase his following in
view of the coming Presidential cleo
ton, so he thought it good politics to
attack Germany.
The Vorwaerts, commenting upon
the speeches of General Bronsart Won
Schellendorf Minister of War, and DR..
Schienstedt, Minister of Justice, in the
Reichstag, during last weeks socialist
debate, cites their remarks as proof of

ment is the secret organization Of the
Clan ma Gael, which has been identi-
fed with every revolutionary under
taking of recent years looking to the
freedom of Ireland
The connection between the Clan-na-
Gael and the new military organization
is a complete chain. Every member of
the military organization must first be
a member of a Clan n-na-Gael Lodge.
Each lodge is to organize a military
club, which furnishes a military COM
pany of men selected with the utmost
care. Each applicant must be of the
Catholic faith. Every member is
sworn to uphold the Irish cause, and it
is an unwritten law of the Gamma
Gael that death is the penalty for
treachery. The money for the support
OF the military is to be furnished by
the Clan-na-Gael Lodges.
It is intended that each lodge
throughout the country shall support a
military club. In the large cities,
where there are numerous lodges, regi-
mentS are to be formed, and companies
in the smaller places where there are
only one or two lodges.
Organizations on the same line as
the Irish regiment now organized in
New York City are in process of forma-
ton in Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia,
several places in Connecticut and Chi
cago, and will also be begun in other
cities. The official designation of the
new regiment is the First Irish Volun-
teers'' The regiment is divided into
two battalions, and every movement is
carefully watched by Colonel Moran,
who is said to be slated for Major Cen
eral of the Irish army. Not the least
important feature of the regiment is to
be an engineering branch, formed of a
few of the most reliable men, who will
make a special study of mining opera
tions and the use of explosives.

FEAST oF OHANuKA.
Children of the Jewish Sunday-School
Celebrate 1t.

Children of the Jewish Sunday-School
Celebrate 1t.
Last night very pleasant affair took
place at Pythian Castle, banquet be-
ing given to the children of the Jewish
Sabbath-school and a programme be-
ing rendered by the children previous
to the banquet.
The occasion was the festival Cha
nuka, the Feast of independence cele-
brated by the Jewish Church in COM
memoration of the victory gained by
the Maccabees over the Syrian Greeks,
who attempted to force their customs
upon them, 165 B. c.
The programme was as follows:
Services, M. Politz; sermonette, r.
Asher, The Jew as a Patriot" serv-
ices concluded, NJ. Politz; lighting of
candles, eight boys and eight girls;
Chanuka hymn; the Chanuka welcome,
Kate Simmond; saluting the flag, class
A; "The Purpose of Life Gertie Gins
berg; "Women''s Rights" Annie Politz;
THE Seven Ages of Man." Jewish con-
ception; THE Beacon julius Jacobs;
The Sunfiowers, ten girls; THE
Seven Ages" Shakespeare concep-
ton; piano solo, Albert Elkus; Amer
ica," by the school.
The piano solo by Albert Elkus was
excellent, and remarkably so for SO
young a boy. The Jewish conception of
the seven ages of man was rendered by
seven groups of the pupils, in each case
one of them reciting some prose Senti-
ment relating to the particular age they
were representing, and depositing a
bouquet in one of the sockets of the
candlestick of seven branches, after
which the group recited an appropriate
stanZa of poetry. 1t was a very pretty
and effective conceit In the rendition
OF Shakespeare's conception, boy re-
cited the well-known extract, while
other pupils, assuming the different
ages, entered upon and departed from
the stage.
After the exercises We're over H.
Weinstock, on behalf of the pupils, and
as token of their appreciation, pre-
sented some handsome gifts to each one
of the four teachers of the school,
Misses Price, Lavenson, Joseph and
Weinstock. He also, on behalf of the
school, presented to Rabbi Simons an
elegant set of Shakespeare's works,
paying at the same time a tribute to
the faithful work done by him, both in
the school and synagogue.
The children then sat down to the
banquet table, where an excellent col
lation was spread, and afterward the
older people partook of the dainties.

Dollars In short Time.


CHICAGO, Dec 15.-The gift. of one
million dollars to the University of
Chicago by Miss Helen Culver is doubly
welcome, as it insures one million more

two months ago, on November ID, Mr..

benefits bestowed on biology by Miss

Alberni, Vancouver Island, December
4th and should have reached this port
in fortyeight hours, but she has not

Strathnevis. She has been fitted with
all old-fashioned crows nest" on her

lights will be utilized at night.

VESSELS IN COLLISION.
A British steamship Comes Near Going
to the Bottom.

LIVERPOOL, Dec. 15.-WhiIe ap-
preaching the landing stage here this
evening the British steamship Indiana,
Captain Boggs. from Philadelphia, col
lided with the fruit-laden steamer "a
mora. which was lying at anchor. The
Indiana had large hole made in her
port side, abaft her bulkhead. Her pas
sengers were safely landed and the
hole was stopped up with mattresses.
She was then towed to the Cheshire
side OF the river, where she was
beached to prevent her sinking. The
Zamora sustained no damage
Another account of the accident says
that while the Indiana was at the land
ing stage she sank two or three feet in
the half of an hour that was occupied
by the passengers in landing. There
was no panic among the passengers.
An attempt was made to plug the hole
in her side as she gave every evidence
OF laundering. In fact it was thought
that she would sink in midstream. and
the engines of the tug were worked TO
their fullest capacity to prevent such a
disaster.

IN CONGRESS THIS WEEK.
An Outline of What the Senate and
House May Do.

House May Do.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The third
week of the Senate will open with it no
better equipped for the transaction of
business than on the day Congress first
assembled, although it is more than
probable that before the week is over
the caucus committee will have agreed,
and the Senate committees will have
passed into the hands of the Republi-
cans. If the suggestions of some of the
younger Senators are followed, 1t is not
improbable that this week may find the
Senate testing the strength of the two
parties over the subject of the reorgani-
Zation of the elective officers.
Tomorrow Mr.. Stewart will make his
first silver speech of this session.
Thursday he introduced a resolution to
direct the Finance Committee to in
Quire what effect the differences of ex-
change between gold standard and sill
yer standard countries has upon the
agricultural and manufacturing indus
tries of the United States, and will re-
port by bill or otherwise. This resolu-
ton will be the text for Mr.. Stewart S
first speech.
Senator Hill takes issue with Senator
Cullom on his convictions relative to
the Monroe doctrine, and may address
the Senate on the resolution, now on
the table, early in the week, possibly
tomorrow.
Senator White of California, who last
week offered an amendment that all
debate shall be relative and confined to
the subject directly before the Senate,
will speak to the resolution Tuesday.
It is one of the many propositions now
pending to change the rules of the Sen
ate with a view to limiting debates.
The only thing that is expected in the
House this week is the announcement
of the committees by Speaker Reed,
and when that is done adjournment
for the holidays is anticipated. 1t may
he that the Committee on Rules will
be announced tomorrow.
