DOWNFALL OF CAPITALISM
Is Hoped for .s.by Sanguiue French
Glassworkers
A Cooperative Factory Opened With
Great Ceremony-The Strikers Re
ceive Municipal Assistance.

ALBI, France, Oct. 25.-Great festivi
ties attended the opening day of the
Cooperative glass factory. which has
been put up by the former strikers IF
the Carmaux glass works. The strike,
which grew out Of the discharge of \
member of the Glass-workers' trade
union last year, was transformed into
a lockout when the men notified the
management of their willingness to re-
turn to work. Great excitement was
caused by the incident throughout
France, and efforts were made to induce
the French minister to intervene in the
dispute and secure justice for the
workingmen. The Paris municipal coun-
Gil voted large sums Of money to sup
port the strikers, and many other munic.
ipalities all over the country followed
suit.
Mons. Landrin of the Paris municipal
council at today's ceremony saluted the
workers in the name Of Paris. Mons
Henri Rocheforte delivered a speech,
and with Mons. Jaures. the Radical So
cialist deputy for Carmaux, who was
prominently identified with the cham.
pionship of the cause Of the strikers,
lighted the furnaces. At an open-air
meeting Mons. Jaures declared that the
present movement had founded a social
revolution and marked the downfall of
capitalism.
A CRITICAL MOMENT.
LONDON, Oct. 26.-The Paris cores
pondent of the Times, writing of the
opening Of the Cooperative glass fac
tory at Abb, says the scheme is that all
the profits of the glass works shall be
used for Socialist propaganda. The
Socialist press in this connection af-
firm that the moment Is a critical one
for the workingmen of France.

A JAIL DELIVERY
Six Kentucky Desperadoes Make q
Break for Liberty

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 25.-Another
daring Jail delivery was perpetrated to-
night at the county Jail shortly after
5 o'clock and six desperate prisoners
made their escape. The delivery was
supposed to be wholesale one in which
every prisoner confined on the third
floor of the old Jail was to get out, but
the watchfulness of the turnkeys pre-
vented this and only six men escaped.
The men who got out are: Jake Brill
convicted counterfeiter, having a sem
tence of six years; Harry Brooks,
convicted of robbing a postoffice and
having sentence of four years to serve:
Tom Mckenzie, charged with house.
breaking; William Mckenzie, charged
with house breaking; Tom Kelly, charg-
ed with house breaking; Yves. Saterlee
charged with COW stealing and awaiting
trial.
All were white and considered desper-
ate prisoners, who would not hesitate
at anything. They gained their liberty
by scraping the mortar from the bricks
in cell No. s, letting the bricks fall into
the interior Of the cell and in this man i.
rer they got a hole large enough for
them to climb through. One at time
they made their way out Of the hole and
climbed upon the roof. Then, by means
of a short rope, they let themselves down
into . narrow alley between the wal!
of the Jail yard and an abutment of the
new Jail and escaped. None of the es-
capped prisoners have been captured.
This is the second delivery in Louisville
within the last year. seven prisoners
making their escape on last Christmas

VOTERS ARE INTERESTED.

CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 25.-When the
registration Of voters closed in Ken
lucky recently, 1t was found that the
increase was much larger than had ever
been known before. The same is true
with the registration which closed in
the Ohio cities last night. The increase
far exceeds all increase in population
and the percentage Is so much higher
than in any other years that it is the
general opinion that the vote in these
two states will be phenomenally large.
This belief is based upon the fyct that
many who have not voted in former
years have registered this year.

SHIFTING BALLAST.
Still Squabbling About Gould's Method
of Carrying Water.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-(While Howard
Gould has contented himself with leav-
ing the controversy with the yacht rae
ing association where it rests in the pub
nshed correspondence, he is still fortify-
ing his own position in the affair. To
representative of the Associated Press
he said before leaving London: For
my own satisfaction I am having a

report on Niagara. He has made pre-
liminary examination and points out
that supposing that we had used our
tanks for shifting ballast, the 250 jounds
of water that each contained would,
owing to their position near the keel,
have only been equivalent to the weight
of a hundred-pound boy on deck. There
are of course no regulations regarding

ONE THING VERY CERTAIN
Unless Pelagic Sealing Is Promptly

Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The expert
commission, which was appointed by di-
rection of congress to visit the seal
islands and make scientific inquiry
into the condition of the seal herds of
tho Northern Pacific and Bering sea,
has returned to this country, and their
report is now nearly complete. awaiting
only some figures showing the catch Of
pelagic sealers the past season. Messrs.
Jordan, Lucas and Stejener were ac-
companied by a British commission
composed Of Messrs. Darcy, Thompson
and Mac Coun. While these gentlemen
pursued their inquiry in company and
frequently compared notes, the two
commissions will make Independent re-
ports to their respective governments
and there can be no joint action.
On one point of the utmost import
ance both sets of commissioners ap-
pear to be in agreement; namely, that
without reference to the causes which
have brought the seal herds to the pres
ent alarming depleted condition, the
further operations Of pelagic sealers
will prove disastrous and threaten to
exterminate the seals. This is a most
important concession on the part Of the
British. as in the correspondence which
led up to the reference of the question
to these exeprt commissions Lord Sails
bury's contention has been that the seal
pirates inflicted little or no damage on
the herds as compared with the losses
sustained through the annual killing Of
seals on the Pribylon islands by the
North American Seal company. 1t Is
true that the Canadian and British ex-
perts were inclined to the belief that the
present condition Of the herds was in q
large measure chargeable to the opera
tions Of the seal company in 1889 and
prior years, when they were permitted
to kill as many as 100000 seals annually
on the islands. AS the commissioners
will report Independently. the nature Of
the remedy to be recommended cannot
be known yet. The American commits
sioners would favor a total suspension
of pelagic sealing if possible, and while
1t is hardly possible that the British
would be willing to concede this much.
it is believed that they may be disposed
to recommend further restrictions upon
pelagic sealing, either by extending the
boundaries Of the closed season, length
ening the closed season or both.
The Russian and Japanese govern
ments. having seals of their own to pro-
tect, are interested themselves on our
side Of the case. The commissions paid
a visit to the Russian Commander
islands, as well as the Japanese islands,
in pursuit of further inquiry. A Rus
sian representative is already in the
United States to follow up the matter,
and with the active cooperation of
these governments in our behalf, 1t is
hoped the British will be disposed to
consent to further restrictive measures,
particularly as the time is now ripe, ow-
ing to the almost total failure Of the
pelagic sealers to make paying catches
