HOT SHOT FOR WILLIAM.
Herr Liebknecht, the Socialist Leader,
D,feS His BayOnetS.
The Imperial Government Would
Sign It's Death Warrant the Mo-
ment 1t Attempted a Violation of
Universal Suffrage-Social Demo-
Gratis Are Ready for a Quarrel.

Breslau, October Herr Dieb-
kneoht, in his inaugural speech, at the
opening of the Socialist Congress to-
day, referred to the remarks recently
made by Emperor William, Of Ger"
many, saying that attempts had lately
been made to vilify the Social Demo-
cracy, but, the speaker added, that
party could now defy defeat no matter
how many bayOnets were at the dis
posal of those who wished for trial
of strength. Herr Liebknecht said that
if people wanted a fight, the Social
Democrats were their men.
Continuing, he said.
"The highest authority in the land
throws down the gauntlet and insults
us. Let us take up the challenge. No
matter who It may be who casts this
mud at us, it is incapable Of touching
us for we are above his insults. The
German empire would first collapse,
but socialism will triumph. A viola
ton of universal suffrage will be equiv
alent to the death warrant OF the inn
perial government"
Herr Liebhmeeht's speech was en-
Enthusiastically applauded. In the hired
hall in which the congress meets is a
life size portrait of the late Emperor
Frederick. II e Socialists wished TO
veil it during the session of the con-
gress, but they were prevented from
doing so by the police. WhereupOn
tho chairman ranarxed that If the de-
liberatiOns did not disturb Emperor
Frederick, his portrait would not in
commode the Socialists.
The congress passed a resolution 70
expel from the party Dr. Ruedt, OF
Heidelburg, on the ground that al
though he had been elected a delegate,
he had absented himself from the con-
gress, at the same time making the
statement that che had done with the

DURANT CASE.
The End of the Famous Trial Is Now
in Sight---Durant Will Be Placed
Upon the Witness Stand.

San Francisco, October 7.-0n the
opening of the eleventh week of the
Dlrrant trial tomorrow the defense Will
make a final struggle to break down
the testimony of the prosecution-a pro-
cess which is expected to last three
days longer. A few more students VIII
be called to the stand, several addl-
tional citizens will testify to Durant
excellent reputation, and then the de-
fendant himself VIII be called to the

the defense to have Durant recount the
history Of his adventures on April .,
from the time he accompanied Blanche
Lamont to school until the hour when

close the case for the defense; Friday
and Monday will be occupied by Dis
trict Attorney Barnes in rebuttal;
Tuesday will be passed in further re-
buttal; on Wednesday the opening ar
gument Of the prosecution will be made

AWhole Family. Except the Father, ,starve
TO Death.
Cleveland, O., October IA horrible
case Of barbarism and misery was dis
covered by the coroner to-day a few
miles east of Cleveland. Carl Longo-
wiz has been living with his wife and
children in a filthy shed devoid of fur
nicure Saturday, their baby, nine days
Old, died. The coroner to-day found the
family in a horrible condition. The
body of the baby was covered with
dirt and was a mere skeleton. The
coroner believes death was cused by
starvation. A week 90 the neighbors
took an e:ghteen-mOnths-Old boy away
from the family and are trying to save
his ltfe. He was on the verge Of star
vation. LOngowitz had seven children.
All are dead except therescued boy and
the neighbOrs say all died as the baby
did. Longowitz is in Jail, pending the
cOroner's inquest, having been arrested

EIGHT OR TEN ARE DEAD.
Frightful Results Of a Mine Explosion
at WilkGSbarre.
A Big Body Of Gas Supposed to
Have Been Fired by an Engineer
Corps in an Old and Abandoned
Working-The Work Of Rescue
Very Slow.
Wilkesbarre, October Slight bod
les recovered at 2,15 a. m, all dead


Wilkesbarre, Pa, October AT five
o'clock a terrific explosion of gas oc-
Cured in the Dorrance mine. At eight
o'clock five men, all badly burned, were
brought to the surface. They are:
Robert Blanchard, aged 10; William
Miller, aged q; Michael Moss, George
Lafy, Jos. Murphy. The first two are
members of the engineer corps, Moss
and Lany are laborers and Murphy is
a driver. Miller and Blanchard are so
badly burned that they cannot live.
Blanchard gave his version of the ex-
plosion as he lay in a cot in the hospi-
tai.
The engineer corps were making a
survey of the abandoned works, known
as the Baltimore section, a mile from
the mine opening. Blanchard and
Miller were left behind to finish some
work. About twelve minutes after
they had left Miller and Blanchard the
explosion occurred. Both Miller and
Blanchard were knocked down by its
force. Flying timbers also struck Mil
Ter. breaking both his arms. Blanch-
ard thinks some of the engineers or
probably the fireboss set fire to a body
of gas in an old working. When
blanchard was found he was being
slowly roasted to death. The gas had
set fire to his clothes and they had been
almost burned off his body when the
rescuers came upon him. Miller was
so pinned down by debris that he could
not make use of his hands.
At midnight the rescuers had made
very little headway in their efforts to
reach the victims of the explosion,
Fire damp made its appearance shortly
after s o'clock and it was necessary 10
do considerable brattice work, which
proceeded very slowly. There is a
strong suspicion also that the explosion
caused a heavy fall in the old workings
and that this will further retard the
work of the rescuers. 1t is now adj
mitted by the mine officials that there
is no hope of finding the engineer corps
alive. They all perished in the eX-
| plosion and If they were not killed out
right. they were suffocated by the fire
camp. The superintendent is Of the
opinion that they were killed by the
force of the explosion and their bodies
probably burned to a crisp. All but
eight or ten are accounted
Tor. Whether these eight
perished with the engineers will not be
known until tomorrow. Superintend-
ent Chase thinks, however, that the
list Of dead will not number more than
seven or eight These may be put
down as follows: VIM. L. Jones, min
ing engineer, aged q, of Wilkesbarre
VIM. Cahin, mining engineer, aged 20
Wilkesbarre: Llewellyn Owens, mining
engineer. aged q, Pittston; Daniel
Davis. fire boss, aged SO; three un-
known men, probably Hungarians, la
borers.
At midnight it was said at the hos
pital that Miller and Blanchard were
resting easy, but little hope is enter
| tained for their recovery.

ENGLISH PAPERS VIEW.

London, October THE Globe, al
1uding to the defeat of the Cambridge
University team by the Yale athletes
says
Their defeat was hardly unexpected,
but, so entire a Yale triumph seemed
altogether out Of the question. II
America cannot prove her claims on
the river she at all events IS vastly su-
perior to England on the track. If we
wish to attain the American standard
there must be an alteration in current
theories here"
The Pail Mall GazetN says on The
same subject: Until both sides are
willing to devote as many months OF
training as they now do weeks, the
Americans will always win N Amerl-
ca and the Englishmen in England"
The st. James Gazette scouts the idea,
freely expressed here, that Oxford was
lucky to beat Yale in 1894, Nand adds:
"Cambridge's win over Oxford in
1895 was very fuky, depending entirely
upon Mendelson's unexpected win IN
the long jump"
