BRADFORD, ENGLAND.
Hyndman's Recent Agitation In This
City.

Hyndman's Recent Agitation IN This
City.
The meeting addressed by our Comrade
Hyndman recently at Bradford was an I'M
qualified success, a success all the more
marked by the fact that Mr.. Sidney Wepo
had been holding forth in the same town
ON the previous evening. Speaking OF the
two meetings the Bradford Observer says;
1.-THE Fabians, as everyone knows, or
sbould know, are the milder hammered
and more patient school OF Socialists
whilst the Social Democrats are the young
men in hurry and again 1.-THE strong
point of the Social Democrats, as In
dictated by Mr.. Hyndman at the close OF
his address last night, is that they were
the first to propose every practical item
in the programmes of any OF the other
Socialist bodies.'' The charge for admis-
sion to Hyndman's meeting was three
pence. but there was good attendance,
much larger, in fact, than at many
political meetings where the admission has
been free, and the assembly was most
enthusiastic. Mr.. w. P. Byles, who
presided, said that he was not Social
Democrat, but he occupied the position OF
chairman at that meeting in order to show
his willingness that Socialist views should
be discussed, and as protest against the
treatment of Socialists by the German
Kaiser. He deplored the fact that men
of influence in the town should defend,
in a spirit of optimism, state of things
which in Bradford obliged large numbers
of workers to spend their lives in the comb
ing shed for l6s. a week. 1t would be a
real danger to the State if these poor fell
lows could be lulled into content by histo-
rical assurances that their fathers were
little worse off than they were. They did
right to rebel against an industrial order
which compelled tens of thousands OF their
fellow countrymen to lead lives like that.
He was heartily and earnestly with them in
their desire to alter that condition of things.

the curfew ordinance. The people OPP

tributed in America being promptly and

Minister Terrell telegraphs Secretary
Olney today that the American public
should understand that a multiplicity of
agents to distribute charity in Turkish
provinces under existing conditions
produce nothing but discord, and that they
can be given no assurances of admission
He says that Miss Barton, who possesses
the confidence of the Turkish government,
with her agents, now in the Interior will
be sufficient to distribute all charity /; is
quite unlikely, the minister adds that
naturaIlzed citizens or newspaper cores

lurich told Of his having been taken to
the Hoboken house by "Dr. Bradford" and
with having been taken into the second
story room of the house by the doctor,
where he saw all the paraphernalia that
was seized in the raid. Ulrich testified to

of the discovery made by him in the Ho-

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Years ago the fire companies and the SOL
der companies Of Washington paraded On
the 22d of February of each year, and
everybody who possessed flag flung it to
the breeze; dinners and suppers and balls
were given by associations of all kinds:
fire bells rang and cannon doomed, and
every individual partook of the inspiration
of the hour. Why should it not be so to-
day? We are the same people, should he in
spired by the same degree of patriotism,
ard 1t appears to your correspondent that
it would need but small effort to revive
the glorious custom Of the past 1t is,
therefore, suggested that You remind the
people that next Saturday is the natal day
of Washington, and that they should .'hang
out their banners and contribute in every
patriotic way possible to honor the occa-
sion. Let every flag in Washington he dis
played, not only on the public buildings
and school houses. but on every libe.,y-lov-

Uncnrthed II Body.

Robert Alexander, colored man. while
making an excavation at 907 9th street
northwest Tuesday morning, unearthed the
Lody of an infant. The laborer did not
know just what to do with the infant, and
so he made new grave and reinterred the
body. Yesterday he reported to the police
what he had done, and at the request of an
officer he again disinterred the body and
sent it to the morgue. The body was a
very small one, and its condition made Il
appear that it had not been in the ground
many weeks.
Coroner Hammett Will have the infants
body inferred in potter's field.
