MILITARlSM CRITICIZED.
Spirited Debate ON the Subject in the
Reichstag.

BERLIN, Feb 12.-The reichstag today dis
cussed the army estimates, and Herr Voll-
mar, the Socialist leader, took the occasion
to criticise militarism in Germany. In so
doing he advocated the better feeding and
housing Of the soldiers and said that social
democracy had no need of barrack room agi-
tation, but in view Of the possibility of war,
they should beware of treating Socialist SOL
d1ers in different manner to others.
The minister OF war, Gen, Won Gossler; re-
plying, declared that the army promoted the
peaceful development Of the country. He
added that the social democratic propaganda
in the army would be punished and suppress
sed with the utmost vigor, and concluded by
remarklng: I'VE say we are with God, for the
king and fatherland, and we will provide the
religious education Of our soldiers. The So
cial democrats say they without God
and against the king and fatherland. Social
democracy, however, has outlived itself long
time now" daughter from the Socialists,
and applause from the right.
Herr Bebel Socialist, supported Herr Voll-
mar. He stated that certain high circles in
the army prosecuted social democrats
Herr Bebel further declared that the So
cfalists were now all doing duty as soldiers.
and that If ever the call to arms came not
many of them would fail to respond Re-
terring to the i'll treatment of the socialists
Herr Bebel complained that the men could
only seek redress in the civil courts after they
left the army, for acts of brutality. The
reScfipt of Emperor William regarding the
subject Of dueling con1icted with the law, as
exceptions were permitted.
Gen. Won Gossler. the minister for war,
might say what he liked, continued Herr
Bebel, but humanity was advancing and
monarchy was certainly not the highes5 point
OF development The socialists cheered Herr
Bebel's remarks, which made quite stir
IN the section Of the Right.
Gen. Won Gossler. the minister for war,
replied that the socialists were revolutionists
and that Herr Babels conduct at Hamburg
in calling a captain an lass" only excited
contempt Then, dealing with Herr BabeTs
Aother remarks, he said that statistics showed
that deaths from sickness in the army due
to manouvers during hot weather were stead
lily decreasing. Suicides and case of iii
treatment wer also ON the decrease, he re-
ported.
If cases of i'll treatment and duels still oc-
CURED, they must be regarded as being due
TO human nature. Concerning the matter
OF rescrlpt, the minister for war thought that
''hCnor and all are best safeguards in the
hands of the supreme war lord" Loud and
continued Conservative applause followed this
statement, made by hte minister for war.

Suit With Rockefeller Said to Be

Officers.


Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Feb. PA peculiar suit
was begun in district court here today
between some st. Paul people over a
large amount of land in this county.
Margaret E. Morse sues Thomas l..
Blood and other heirs-at-law of Henry
Blood Jr., to clear title to the lands.
From the answer in the case it appears
that the plaintiff was Henry Blood's S
wife, and that in his will he made her
eXecutriX upon a peculiar condition.
She was to do what she pleased with
his property after his death, providing
that not one cent of it went to any
member of his family or any relation
of hers. The heirs-at-law hold a right
of entry, for condition broken, in the
lands, if Mrs. Morse should violate the
conditions Of the will; that is, they
have the right to enter upon all the
property. Thus. If Mrs. Morse should
give a cent of Blood's property to one
of their relations, the defendants claim
that they would be entitled to all Of
1t, as she would have violated BloOd's
condition that none Of it was to go to
his relations.

BLOCKADE BROKEN.
The Dolphin Gave Admiral BHnce the
Slip.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-The block
ade runners at Charleston have scored
the first blood and in spite of all the
preparations made by Admiral Bunce
to detect any attempt to pass the long
line Of ships, he had strung out
across the entrance of the harbor, the
Dolphin, not by any means a fast boat
nor as invisible as a blockade runner
slipped quietly around one end of the
line on the Sth inst, and when the
department next heard of her, she was
at the bar off ST. Johns river, Florida.
The officials at the department were
puzzled when they were notified by
Commander Glover by telegraph of his
whereabouts but private letters re-
ceived here from persons on the
squadron explain her movement as
successful running Of the blockade.
Now the fleet is on the watch, not only
against the return of the Dolphin, but
for the appearance of the little Vesuv-
ius, swifter than anything in the fleet,
and, like regular blockade runner,
lower in the water than the Dolphin.
Moreover, the Vesuvius is painted a
dingy gray, and so Is much more likely
to make a successful run than the Dol
phin.
Secretary Herbert expects to leave
here on the 18th, for Charleston, to see
for himself how the blockade progress
es, and it is probable that he will
have some distinguished company with
him.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 12.-The
Indiana and Vesuvius which arrived
last night, anchored a considerable
distance outside, owing to the heavy
mist and fog prevailing, and it was not
until 10 o'clock this morning that they
were in line ordered by Admiral Bunce.
An officer of the Indiana stated today,
that the Indiana's passage from Hamp-
ton Roads was as easy and smooth as
1t could possibly be, the weather was
fair most of the way, and a trip more
quiet and uneventful could not have
been had 5h

The old gentleman was thoughtful.
Il don't recall that l ever teased the cat -
he said, but l presume l may have done so
of small moment at this time. What troubles
me is that this boy never seems to take after
me when he is good You only discover the
resemblance when he has been up to some
mischief and is in trouble. At other times
he is mammals boy Now. I don't want to

NEATER AND CHEAPER.
The main reason given for the en-
ployment OF women and girls Is usually
that they are better adapted for the
work at which they are empIoyed
other reasons are that they are more
reliable, more easily controlled, cheap
er, more temperate, more easily pro-
durable, neater, more rapid, more in
dustrious, less liable to strike, learn
more rapidly, etc.
On the other hand the reasons for
tnelr opinion. given by those who did
not believe that there was any ten
dency for the employment of women
TO increase in their industries. were
that very often women who are bet
ter adapted and cheaper. are unrelia-
bic; that their physical strength is in
adequate for heavy work; that ma
chinery is gradually displacing them,
etc.
Other tables give the date when
women were first employed in each es-
adjustment, and that occupations at
which they were employed; the hours
OF labor worked in establishments re-
porting; a list of occupations followed
by women and girls, as discovered by
the investigation, and the wages in
detail of men, women and children in

The commissioner takes occasion to
call attention to the varied work now
performed by his department. It now
issues annual reports. special reports

The department is now Investigating
the effects Of machinery upon labor and

AT the conclusion of the second game the man
who had won, consumed by his own vanity,
proposed game of call shots, says the Buffalo
Express.
The other man assented, and they began
with great show Of studying lines and
angles. They were very careful. They called
many shots and made few Of them. Finally
the call-shot game said Safety" and sent
his ball into a bunch. The cue ball went to
the cushion, hit a ball and came slowly back
Nv. Two other balls in the bunch rolled lazily

They stood there and disputed for ten min

exchange of opinions. Finally the man who
made the safety shot said: well, there's no
use standing here and arguing about it. I'll
leave It to anybody in the room"
Leave 1T TO this gentleman, then" said
the other man, pointing to the dozer on the
settee.
They went over and explained the situation
and the dozer asked many questions, and
then Strengthened up and look wise. ''As I

Madrid, Oct. Pit is semi-officially
announced that the reply of Spain to the
note presented by the United States min
lister, Gen. Woodford, had been drafted
by the minister of foreign affairs, Senior
Gullon, and will be submitted to the cab
met at its meeting tomorrow. The reply,
it IS stated, will say that Spain is unable
to fix exactly the date when the war will
be over, but the ministers are convinced
it will not be long, because "the situation
Of the rebels is critical and the efforts
of the Spanish troops are sure of success
Owing to the rebel situation and the con-
cession of autonomy, administrative and
economic, which will be effective before
January l, the government hopes actual
hostilities will finish shortly"
Spain, it is said, thinks reform and the
activity of the Spanish troops are sutli-
cient elements TO secure the immediate
pacitication of the island which, it is as
serted, would have been done before if
the rebels had not had the succor of fill
busters who, under the shelter of the
American flag, have contributed to main
tain this state of affairs"
The government has decided that Gen.
Primoderi is to retain command in the
Philippine islands in order that he may
initiate the proposed reforms and reorgan-
ize that colony.
