BlNBURG DooK STRIKE.

Non-Union Workmen who Took the
Strikers Places Now Threaten to Strike.
Berlin, Dec. 27--The strike of the
Hamburg dock laborers is likely to as
sumo an entirely new phase. The nom
union laborers who have taken the
places of the strikers are themselves
threatening to strike, unless they are
paid seven marks a day for day work
and fourteen marks for night work.
They have already made demands up
on the employers for the payment of
these rates, and have been informed
that they may expect the same resist
ance to their exactions that was given
to the old hands.
A meeting of the strikers was held
on Saturday, which was addressed by
a number of speakers, including Herren
Molkenbuhr and F'rohma, socialist
members of the reichstag, who advised
the men to continue to hold against the
employers. In the meantime agents of
the employers have sounded the local
agents of the strikers in regard to ar
ranging a settlement of the dispute up
on which the strike was based.

Chicago Banker Suicides.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Otto Wasmans-
dorff, of the banking firm of Wasrnans-
dorff 6. Heinemann, which failed here
last Monday, as a result of the col
lapse of the National bank of Illinois,
committed suicide at his home this
morning, by shooting himself in the
temple with a revolver. The constant
worry of the past week consequent
upon the failure is believed to have
been the cause. He had scarcely slept
during that time.
Although it is generally believed that
the bank will discharge its obligations
in full. Mr.. Wasmansdroff saw that
his standing in financial circles had
been imperilIed. The banker was an
emotional German and his anxiety the
past week was pitiable. 1t is thought
his mind may have been temporarily
deranged Mr.. Wasmandsdorff was fif-
ty-six years old.

it and allow the aristOcrats to monopo-

| General Read was born in Philadel-
| phia, February q, 1887, he being son
! of former solicitor general of the
| United States. He received his educa-
tion at a military school and at Brown
university, where he received the de-
gree of A. M. in 1866. He was gradu-
ated at the Albany law school in 1859,
studied international law in Europe,
was admitted to the bar in Philadel-
phia, and afterward removed to Alba
| ny, N. Y.
He was adjutant general Of New
York in 1906, and was one of the orig
inators of the "wide-awake" political
clubs in 1860 He was chairman, in
April of the same year, of the commit
| tee of three to draft a bill, in behalf of
New York state, appropriating $300,0O0
! for the purchase Of arms and equip
ments. and he subsequently received
the thanks Of the war department for
his ability and zeal in organizing,
equipping and forwarding troops. He
was first United States consul general
! for France and Algeria in 1S69-73, and
was acting consul general for Germany
during the Franco-Gernan war.
After the war he was appointed by
General De Cissey, French minister of
war, to form and preside over a COM
mission to examine into the desirability
of teaching the English language to the
French troops. In November, 1874, he
was appointed United States minister
resident in Greece. One of his first acts
was to secure the release of the Amer
| lean ship Armenia and obtain from the
! ~ M
order that prohibited the sale of the
| Bible in Greece.
During the Russo-Turkish war he
discovered that only one port in Russia
was still open, and he pointed out TO
Secretary Evarts the advantages that
would accrue to the commerce or the
| United States were a grain fleet dis
patched from New York to that port.
The event justified his judgment, since
the exports of cereals from the United
States showed an increase within a
year of $73, 100000.
While minister to Greece he received
the thanks of his government for his
| effectual protection of the American IN
terests in the dangerous crisis of 1878.
| Soon afterward congress, from motives
/ Of economy, refused the appropriation
| for the legation at Athens, and General
| Read, believing that the time was too
critical to withdraw the mission, car
! ried 1t on ait his individual expense Until
his resignation, September %, 1879. In
1881, when, owing in part to his efforts,
after his resignation, the territory that
had been adjudged to Greece had been
| finally transferred, King George Gre
ated him Knight Grand Cross of the
Order of the Redeemer. the highest
| dignity in the gift of the Greek govern
ment
/ General Read was president of the
Social Science congress at Albany, N.
| Y. in 1868, and vice president of the one

contributing to current literature, he
was the author of an Historical In

A MERE TRICsksTEE.

| In one of his speeches, Wednesday, Mr..
| Bryan again showed that he is I'M
| scrupulous trickster rather than a mis-
| guided enthusiast. In that instance he
quoted from the Republican national
| platform upon which Mr.. Lincoln was
nominated in 1860, as follows:
We denounce arbitrary interference by
federal authorities in local affairs a
violation of the Constitution of the United
tons. That is the part which they say
is bad. When did that become bad? Let
see how it compares with the one Which
have read: THAT the maintenance IN
violate of the rights of the State, and
especially the right of each State to order
and control its own domestic institutions
according to its own judgment exclusively
is essential to that balance OF power upon
which the operation and endurance of our
political fabric depends and We denounce
the lawless invasion by armed force of the
soil of any State or Territory no matter
under what preteXt as among the greatest
of crimes.
Nine-tenths of those who listened to Mr..
Bryan did not know the circumstances
under which the foregoing protest of the
Republican party made. The Demo-
cratic President had used federal troops
not to suppress resistance to United States
laws, but to support the border rufEars
of Missouri in holding fraudulent elections
in Kansas, then a Territory, to elect
constitutional convention which would
make it slave State, and to prevent
bona-fide settlers from voting against the
constitution proposed by the border ruff
fans. No federal laws had been resisted
by the people of Kansas but federal troops
were used to force a constitution upon the
people to which they We're opposed.
After reading the foregoing declaration
of the Republican platform of 1860. Mr..
Bryan said that Mr.. Lincoln, in his in
augural, quoted the resolution in full and
indorsed it. And so he did. There was
widespread fear in the South that Mr.. Lin
coin would interfere with the institution
of slavery i'll the Southern States. He de-
clared in the first part of his inaugural
that lie had neither the right the in
clination to do so. After quoting the para
graph of the platform referred to, Mr..
Lincoln said:
l now reterate these sentiments, and in
doing so | only press. upon the public at
tention the most conclusiYe evidence Of
property, peace and security of no section
are to be anywise endangered by the now
incoming administration.
A few months later, when the govern
mentS of southern states resisted the col
lection of customs and defied the federal
power by firing Fort Sumter, Mr.. Lin
coin did not hesitate to march troops into
the Southern States to enforce the laws
The plank in the Chicago platform with
which Mr.. Bryan compared that of the
Republicans in 1860 was dictated by Gov
ernor Aitgeid. Mobs had seized railroads
entering Chicago. had destroyed trains
and tracks, and had assailed and in some
instances had killed engineers and others
In charge Of them The seizure of the
mobs had paralyzed the commerce between
the States and stopped the running of
