BERLIN, Oct. 12.-The Socialist con-
vention at Breslau has been followed
by the general public with great
deal more interest than was the case at
the convention of 1894 at Frankfort
The warning elements within the
Socialist party have been sharply ar
rayed against each other. The younger,
more practical and moderate wing of
the party though two of its ablest
leaders, Harren VOlmer and Grillenber-
ger, were absent through i'll health,
displayed great strength. This was
more especially the case during the
long and bitter fight which was Waged
over the agrarian programme. The
Liebknecht wing of the party, however,
is still dominant, and the small farm
ers and farm hands throughout Ger
many will therefore not yet be well
coined within the ranks Of the Social
list army. The convention was in ac-
cordance with the special instructions
issue by Herr Van koeller the Prus-
sian minister of the interior and was
under severe police supervision. Con-
sequently the noisy party damonstra-
lions which had been planned could
not be carried out A number of
foreign delegates, especially the Aus
trian delegate, DR.. Ellenberg, We're eX-

4 Flaming Duchess.
A sensational feature of the conven-
ton was the presence of the Duchess
Pauline Mathilda, of Wurtemburg.

Breslau. named Willim. This lady who
is decidedly eccentric was attired in
flaming red blouse and she manifested
her intense socialism by frequently APP
plauding the most excited utterances
of the speakers, to demonstrate, ap-
parntly, that she was in hearty SYM
pathy with the most radical remarks
and propositions made.
The marriage of Duchess Pauline
Mathilda of Wurtenburg, to DR.. Willim
was a most romantic affair. The
doctor, who is 4 Handsome and an1iable
gentleman. was summoned to the
Carlsruhe to attend a member of the
ducal family Of Wurtemburg. who was
seriously i'll. This was in $780, and the
Duchess Pauline, who was frequently
thrown into the society of the doctor
to the castle, fell in love with him and
finally notified her family that she in
! tended to marry the good looking
| physician At first the family strongly
opposed the match but when it was
seen that the duchess would have her
way in any case a reluctant consent
was given. At the wedding ceremony,
| the clergyman who officiated, pointed
out the different positions in life of
| the young couple, remarking incl
dentally that the duchess had come
down to the rank of her husband. This
! caused the bride to eXclaim warmly
that she did not share the clergyman S
view of the case and that on the con-
trary she looked up to her husband.
Contrary to the Rule.
Contrary to general expectation the
marriage has been a most happy one

Will Restrict Association.
The Prugsian cabinet held a meeting
which lasted four hours on Wednesday
last and discussed the intended modlh-
cation of the PruSSian association law
which Herr Won KOeller has been work.

cision that he should submit his project

idea in a measure which VIII
be of reactionary character, curtailing
the right of public and political meeting
and modelled largely after the Saxon
law which is the StricteSt and most il

associations. This is intended to hinder
the further growth and spread of social
ism in Prussia. 1t viii be the only ait
tempt at anti-sOcialist legislation which
will be made during the coming winter,
and it is confidently expected that the
bin will pass the PruSsiam diet, whose
composition is widely different from that
OF the reichstag.
A bill will also be introduced in the
Pruesian diet to increase the salaries of
public teachers who are VIGOROUSLY I'M

Discussing Sugar Bounty.
The question of sugar bounties is again
under discussion. International negOtia-
tons for the abolition of export prem
ium ON beet sugar are being vigorously
pushed and it is hoped that France and
Austria will agree to this proposition.
II the negotiations fail, a reorganization
of German sugar legislation is cont en-
plated AS the law stands, Germany is
bound to cease paying bOunties in 1897.
The statement signed by Chancellor
Won Hohenlohe and other ministers,
which appeared in the Reichsanzeiger ON
Wednesday last denying the charges
made against DR.. Won Boettischer, i'm
perial minister of the Interior which
have been published in the socialist or
-gang,. to the effect that he at the time
| when important financial reforms were
imminent, borrowed from prominent
bankers large sums which he did not
intend to repay, and that he had re-
ceiWed a large sum of money from the
Guelph fund in order to save his father
in-law from ruin, appears to have been
due to the emperor's personal wish TO
set at rest the rlTnorS which were still
current. The truth, according to the
Reichsanzeiger, was that a bank director
who is a relative of DIR. Won Boettischer
was threatened with financial ruin in
