RICHTER RAISED A ROW.
Discussion of the Duchy OF Mccklenberg
Caused the Trouble,

'Hustu
BERLIN, Feb. 20--A bill submitted by
Herr Pachnicke Of the radical popular party,
providing for popular representation in the
federal states Of Germany, came up in the
Reichstag today on a motion for its second
reading. In the course of the debate there
was lively scene arising from some re-
marks made by Eugene Richter of the peo-
pies party on the constitution Of the grand
duchy of Mecklenberg which was the prin-
cipal object of attack He declared that
Mecklenberg should long ago have been eX-
tinct except for the number Of illegtimate
births therein. At this point Federal Coun-
cilOr Oertzen rose and Indignantly protested
against Richter's taunts, declaring that he
was overstepping the bounds of decency. A
great tumult ensued on the lsftist benches,
which completely drowned the speakers
voice. When quiet had been restored Won
Levitzow, the president of the chamber, said
he deeply regretted the expressions of Rich
ter which were irreconclable with the ira
ditions of the house. The members of the
left loudly applauded the remarks of Levitt
zow.
The chamber then discussed the bill offered
by Hitze Of the center party for the estab-
lishment Of an inquiry into the Industrial
conditions of working people, especially
in regard to the further reduction of the
working hours of married women.
Dr. Won Boetticher said that the govern
ment sympathized with the objects of the
bill far as it sought to introduce greater
comfort into the home life of the working
classes, but the result of inquiries already

DENOUNt ED THE UNITED STATES.
Members OF the Economic Reform Asso-
ciatlon Discussing Us.

ciaiion Discussing Us.
LONDON, Feb. 20.-A dispatch to the
Times from Berlin says that at today's sit
ting of the Economic Reform association
resolution was adopted declaring that the
commercial treaty of 1928 between Prussia
and the United States and the other treaties
of the United States with the various Ger
man states were not binding on the en-
pire, which in future treaties must take bet
ter precautions to safeguard its interests.
Count Won Gantz delivered a polemic against
the United States, which he described as the
most unscrupulous of all nations towards
other countries.
1t is understood that the approaching meet
ing of the German commercial congress will
discuss the currency question in the light of
the recent bmetallism resolution introduced
in the Reichstag. The constituent assembly
of the new German Bmetallic association
was we'll attended. Herr Rendt expressed
the belief that too little silver was produced.
1t was a great error, he said, to attribute
the depreciation in the price of silver to over
production, because the depreciation had only
manifested itself after the inhibition of the
free minting of silver.
Consul Willmann stated that 1t was a mis-
take to suppose that Mexico was dependent
upon the price of silver. For the time being
a great change had occurred. Mexico no
longer sent her silver coin abroad, but ex-
ported it in the shape of its productions.

the Phi ade!phia Elections.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20.-It was after
o'clock this morning when the count of the
vote cast in this city yesterday was COM
pleted. Not only were there more ballots
put in the boxes than ever before, but the
ticket in every ward was cut up to such an
extent as to make the work of tabulating
the vote very difficult
In total vote of 214747 Charles f. War
wick, the republican candidate for mayor, had
a plurality of 60, ,9S9 over Ex-Governor Robert
e. Pattison, the democratic standard bearer
This is the greatest plurality ever given a
candidate in municipal contest, the previous
record being 39065, received by Edwin S.
Stuart in 1891. Democratic strongholds like
the Third, Fourth, Sixth. Eleventh, Twelfth
and Seventeenth wards either went against
reduced plurality in his favor.
William j. Roney Mr.. Warwicks champion
at the head of the ticket as candidate for re-
ceiver of taxes, ran only S,267 behind the
ticket. Women were voted for as school
directors for the first time under a law re-
Gently passed. There were seventeen such
candidates scattered throughout the city, but
only one was elected.
Twelve police magistrates eleven select
councilmen and seventy-nine common council
men have been elected, and present indica-
tions are that the republicans have a majority
of these offices.
In the state the same story is to be told as
in the city, borough elections in the east
ern half resulting in most unanimous re-
publican victory. Scranton councils became
democratic on joint ballot, and South Bethle-
hem was carried by democrats. The repub-
licans captured almost everything else in

Twenty-Sixth Instant.
PARIS. Feb. 20.-Rumors of an unsatisfac-
tory nature as to the condition of affairs in
Egypt are causing uneasness here. A
special dispatch from Cairo says that friendly
natives assert that rising of the natives
will take place on the 26th Of this month
during the Ramadan, the great annual feast
of the Mohammedans, which lasts for a
month. This rising the dispatch says, has
been foretold in Mohammedan fanatcal So
cieties. The Journal des Debats, comment
ing upon the situation asserts that In :he
European chancellores there is no readiness
to admit the existence of a British pro-
tectorate in Egypt. The Journal insists that
the task Of Africa is to arouse Central Europe
SO it will give unmstakable evidence that
the sympathy is with Egypt as against
Great Britain.
LONDON, Feb 21-A dispatch to the
Times from Cairo says the menacing aspect
of affairs in Alexandria continues to occupy
public attention. Threats Of vengeance are
freely uttered. change in the garrison
that has just occurred is considered to favor
the chances Of public disturbance, while the
large influx Of Bedouins into the outskirts of
the city during the last few weeks is re-
garded as disquieting feature. All these
symptoms vividly recall those that heralded
the massacre In 1882. For some time past
one Of the khedives proteges, whose patriot
ism has been stimulated by dismissal from
the government service for peculation, has
been busy among the Bedouins distributing
khedival largess and recruiting a bodyguard
for the khedve's person. That the danger
Gus agitation has been artificially provoked is
evident from the contrast Alexandria pre-
sents to the complete tranquility and content
ment prevailing throughout the rest of
Egypt since the formation Of the ministry
of Nubar Pasha.

WOOL TRADE FAIR.
General Feeling that Prices Cannot Go Any
LnWer.

Lower.
BOSTON, Feb 2O.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will tomorrow say of
the wool trade: AT the close of the seventh
week this market is experiencing a fair
volume of trade, a very general demand
with steady prices. The sales for the past
week have been considerably larger than
in the corresponding week of last year,
while the amount of wool moved since
January l, 1895, exceeds that for the sim
liar period last year by more than 1000, ,OG0
pounds. There Is no doubt of a larger
call for stock, especially for fine Austria
liam. The demand for medium domestic
1eeces is checked by smallncss of supply
There is more inquiry for fine fieeces, par
ticularly for fine unwashed. A good in
qury exists for fine and coarse pulled
wools. OF course business is being done
on close margins, but everybody deems it
impossible that wool values shall go any
lower. Manufacturers are well employed
and If dealers show no disposition TO eX-
ceed their ordinary wants II must be re-
membered that the extent of this market
Is so vast that the weekly requirements
seldom fall much below 100000 pounds
The sales of the week amount to g 2Oi, 600
pounds domestic and G26,O00 pounds for
eign, making n total of 2.S306O0 against
a total of 3l1i,G00 pounds for the previous
week and total of l,9l9,0O0 pounds for
the corresponding week last Year The
sales since January l. 1895. amount to pa
SO55SO pounds, against 673i,6Oo pounds a

Were Saved - other Boat
Refused Aid.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.--The Rio News Of
January 8, just received in the latest mall
gives the particulars of a terrible calamity
in the bay of Rio Janeiro. 1t says:
About 1880 on the evening of the 9Th inst
fire broke out on the ferry boat Tercecora
soon after her leaving the San Domingas
landing The boat left Rio de Janeiro with
a large number of passengers, estimated at
from $50 to 300, the greater part of whom
disembarked at San Domingas. About fifty
people embarked at this point. 1t is gen.
orally estimated that there were from 100 to
$50 persons on board at the time of the
disaster.
Although the Tercecora was barely 300
metres from land when the fire broke out
nothing effective appears to have been done
to save the passengers except the fore
thought of the engineers in opening the
safety valves of the boilers to prevent an
explosion. The master slgnaled for the en-
gineers to stop and nothing more was done.
There was apparently but few life-saving ap-
pliances on board. The fire burned with
such rapidity however, that the passengers

German Bundesrath Not Likely to sanction
the Return of the Jesuits.
BERLIN, Feb. 20.-The resolution provid-
ing for the repeal of the law expelling the
Jesuits from Germany was read the third
time and passed in the Reichstag this after
noon. The passage of the measure was re-
ceived with cheers by the members of the
center, or Catholic party. The conserva-
tives, the members of the reichspartei and
the national liberals voted against the resolu-
ton. 1t is not expected, however, that it
will become law, as the Bundesrath, which
has heretofore always refused its consent
to the repeal Of the laws, is not expected
to sanction the resolution. The bill for the
expulsion of the order from Germany was
passed by the Reichstag on June 19, 1872, by
vote of 131 to SO, and was promulgated
on July 8. The supporters of the measure
based their advocacy of it on the activity
of the Jesuits on behalf of the papal su-
premacy. In December, 1898, Count HON.
pesch the leader of the center, introduced
a bill to repeal the anti-Jesuit laws, which
passed its third reading by a small majority,

Pan Mall Guzstte Sees Disaster to English
Investors.


LONDON, Feb. 20.-The Pail Mall Gazette
says: How far the man in the street is
contributing to the success of the issue or
how far this initial success will be due to
the power Of haute finance 1t is impossible
to say. The former has been warned by the
more conservative Of his advisers to leave
the bonds alone. He cannot have his eyes
opened too widely to the fact that the inter
est OF the bonds must be paid, and that the
bonds themselves are liable TO be repaid thirty
years hence, not in gold, but in silver, or
nickel or other coin Of the United States.
No one could blame the United States IT,
finding themselves under financial pressure,
they preferred to make the bond payments
in coin other than gold, privilege for which
they paid dearly and with much discomfort
This consideration will always hang like
pail over these bonds and render the investor
who cannot afford the risk doubtful. The
great success OF the loan, therefore, Is all
the more triumph for those managing II
and for the credit Of the United States.
