police guarding the streets through which
he passed were dispensed with. The Mayor

ney's clerk and police official, which be-
came known in Vienna. injured his
chances of being accepted in society at the
very outset, and his defective manners ex-
posed him to no end of ridicule. Nine.
Loze, his wife, was greatly more refined
than he and made social success, but

the Reichstag, in speech delivered to the
Socialists of Essen yesterday, declared
that the Socialists had no definite pro-
gramme, their primary object being to

The Vorwaerts declared that the dele
gates comprising the coming international al
Socialist congress in London will stead
