A REpULSE TO SOCIALISM
THE IMPORTANT RESULT or THE
ELECTIONS IN GERMANY.
Calculated to Have q Far Reaching
Moral Effect-In Berlin the Fable Of
socialis Invincibility is Now Dissi-
pated-PoIitical Life In the Country
May Undergo Marked Change.

NAY Undergo Marked Change.
Berlin, June 24.-The results Of fifty
four second ballots in the Reichstag
elections show the return OF five con-
servatives, five centrists, four freisin-
nige candidates, eleven socialists, nine
national liberals, three imperialists, fif-
teenradicals and one anti-semite candi-
date of the reform party Among the
most prominent Of those elected Is
Herr Ahlwarg at Ainswalde, Herr
Broemel of the radical Peoples party
at Stettin, Herr Muchjker, another
member Of the same party at Gruen-
berg and Herr Richter at Hagen. The
feature of the elections, which every
where have been orderly, has been the
heavy reverse to the socialists, witch
Is calculated to have a far-reaching
moral effect. The lesson to be learned
is that socialist success shows the lack
OF party discipline in other parties.
In Berlin the fable Of socialist invin-
cibility has been dissipated. although
the socialist polling has been heavier Oh
the second ballots than 1t was on the
first. For instance, in the second dis
trict Of Berlin, while the radical can
didate gained 1900 more votes than Oh
the first ballot, the socialist increase
was only 1000. In the Third ward Till
socialist, Heine, VINO, on the first ballot
had a majority Of 5000, carried the dis
trict to-day by only 800. The fretsifl-
nige candidates carried the First, Sec
ond and Fifth districts. The socialists
thus lost two seats The vote III the
Fifth district was Zewick, radical, 10,
955, and Schmidt, socialist, 10,89S.
Henceforth the city Of Berlin will ba8
represented by three radicals and three
socialists instead Of by Ave socialists
and one radical as in the last Reichs-s
tag.
The returns from the provinces are
coming in slowly, but they Indicate
that the socialist gains are less than
had been expected. The radicals have
every reason to be satisfied. They have
already gained twenty eight seats and
are likely to have greater strength than
they had in the last Reichstag. IA con-
servative ajority will be quite out ofI
reason unless the Jealousy Of rAdtcAl
| success resulting from the combinations
of parties against socialism should
again play into the socialists hands.
Political life in Germany may undergo
| marked change and socialism iii tho
future may receive a far greater rs-
pulse.

THAT ALLEGED ESCAPE.
Story of Spanish Vessel Slipping Away
From Santiago Dtscredited.

Washington, June 24.-The naval au-
thorities here are satisfied that no
Spanish warship has escaped from San
tiago harbor so far, and the Spanish
newspaper stories to the effect that
"the cruiser Reina Chistina escaped
from Santiago" was received here with
a good deal of amusement. At last ac-
counts that particular vessel was lying
in the bottom of Manila bay where
Dewey had sunk her on May day. The
story is regarded as a fair sample of
those put afioat to deceive the Span
iards at home and give comfort to their
friends in Europe. The formal state
ment by the Spanish misister of marine
that the Maria Cristina had succeeded
in running the blockade of Cienfuegos
naturally demanded more attention
than the first publication, although the
officials do not hesitate to express
doubts of it's truthfulness.

THE CARRINGToN PUBLISHING co.
THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.
Agreement of Senate to Conference Re-
port-Statement by senator Hoar.

Washington, June 24.---After a long,
hard fight the conference report upon
the bankruptcy bill was agreed to by
the senate to-day, which practically in
sures the enactment of the law, as it is
understood that there will be no diff
Guilty in the house. The contest be-
tween the two houses was over the Tor
rey bill of the house and the Nelson bill
of the senate. The conference has been
going on since the Sd Of March and the
agreement reached was largely on the
lines of the Nelson bill. Senator Hoar,
chairman of the senate committee on
Judiciary, who has been urging the en-
actment Of bankruptcy law for the
past fifteen years, to-day gave out a
statement apropos of the senate's ac-
ceptance Of the conference report.
Among other things he says:
1.-THE present bill is a. compromise. 1t
will undoubtedly be found that in get
ting it through we have been obliged
to leave in it some crudities and imper-
fections which must be remedied by
subsequent legislation. 1t is quite
likely that the fees Of clerks, referees
and trustees will be found to be too
large. The bill seems to me great
deal better than that known as the
Torrey bill in two particulars--one that
the settlement cannot be delayed by ap-
peals to the supreme court of the Unit
ed States except in two cases: First,
where a federal question is involved,
and, second where a decision of the
supreme court is needed for uniformity
of construction throughout the country
and next in the provision for sum-
mary application to court Of appeals
in an interlocutory way to correct mis-
takes as the proceedings go on instead
of waiting until the final determination
in the court below and then keeping
the whole estate tied UP until after a
final decision in the higher court. The
bill will enable from 100000 to 100000
bankrupts to get on their feet again.
1t will enable manufacturers and mer-
chants to get fair division of their
debtors property and will prevent a
great deal Of fraud, embezzlement and
wasteful dealing with property

THE MERRIMAC PRISONERS.
Spanish Captain Officially States They
Are Not at EI Moro.

are NOV at NlpTTOs
copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press
Santiago de Cuba, June 23.-This
morning a flag Of truce was taken in
by Assistant Chief of Staff Stanton to
ascertain the whereabouts of the Mer-
rimac prisoners - Lieutenant Hobson
and his companions. The Colon, a
Spanish tug, with Captain Concas,
formerly commander of the Caravel
Sante Anita, came out to get him. He
stated that Hobson and all his COM
rades were well and were not at Ell
Moro. Stanton then returned to his
ship. His mission was caused by the
refusal of the Spaniards to exchange
the prisoners. Had they still been in
Moro Castle, Stanton was to notify
Admiral Cervera that he would be held
responsible if any accident should be-
fall them.

Misfortunes of the Country ON the
Monarchy be Included in the Official
Report.
queen regent suspening the extra
ordinary session of the cortes,
was read in the senate this
evening. Prior to the reading
of the decree in the chamber of depu-
ties, which was crowded, Senor SALINE
ron, the republican leader, declared
that some of his remarks had been
omitted from the official report of yes
terday's proceedings. The president
of the chamber, Marquis Vega d'Arni-
io, said the omission must be attribut-
ed to the uproar, which had probably
prevented the reporters from hearing
him. Senior Salmaron then said he
wished to have included in the official
report his declarations throwing the re-
sponsibility for all the misfortunes of
the country upon the monarchy. Senior
Sagasta rose and read the royal de-
cree suspending parliament. The
chamber of deputies then adjourned,
and without the customary cheer for
the throne
The republican deputies met later in
secret session and elaborated plan of
political action during the suspension
of the cortes. Great Importance is at
tached to, the cabinet counsel summon
ed for Saturday It is possible that q
crisis will be prevented.
1t is persistently reported, though the
rumors lack confirmation, that the gov
ernment has received further dis
patch from Manila.

WITH SKILL AND GOODNESS.
Times Opinion of the American
LANDING q in Cuba,

London, June 25.-The Times, COM
menting editorially this morning on the
American landing, says: "The opera
cradle skill and coolness, but if Admiral
Cervera's crews fight on land as their
comrades fought in the coffin ships at
Cavite they will give Skaters troops g.
taste of real warfare before the stars
and stripes float over Santiago de Cuba.
The indications are, however, that the
resistance will not be prolonged. The
session of the cortes, which opened in
ominous circumstances, closed amid
deepening gloom"

ANTI-JEWISH OUTBREAKS.
Austrian Towns and vil-
lnges In Open Revolt.

London, June 25.-The Vienna corr
respondent Of the Daily News says:
The anti-Jewish outbreaks in Galicia
are by no means ended. There was Sc
rious rioting yesterday near Sande and
to-day and the military was called out
to restore order. Everything indicates
that it will be impossible to withdraw
the military. Plundsrings and assault
ings of Jews in the villages have now
been daily occurrences for fortnight.
On June 15, thirty-two towns and VIII
lagos were in open revolt. A bloody
conflict occurred at Frystak, in which
twelve peasants were killed. The be-
lief was current there that the Austrian
imperial crown prince Rudolph, who.
it was assumed, was alive and in Amer
lea, had sanctioned the Galicians in ILL
using and robbing the Jews.

ing Trades council of San Francisco
has adopted resolutions severely ar
raigning Major L. L. Long, department
quartermaster U. S. A., for his alleged

official dispatch to Washington. The
secretary of war is requested to inves-
tigate the matter. Labor Commission

to misrepresent the situation The
killing Of Chung Ying by highbinder

TO TAX THE MEMBERS.
Action at the Session of General Fetlera-

ton of w WOmen's Climbs.
Denver, June 24.-The thousands of
clubs belonging to the General Fedora
tion of Women's Clubs are to be taxed
annually at the rate Of ten cents per
capita. This decision was finally made
to-day at the Broadway theater amid
a sputter of parliamentary points and
prolonged applause. Mrs Henry Rotin
made a speech on behalf of the f1nan-
cial innovation. The result was due to
the adoption of resolutions offered by
Mrs. Julia Shattuck of Chicago, who
stated that the treasury had but $400
resources for the coming two years,
with prospects of fully $4,000 expenses,
leaving out of consideration the ex-
penses which officers would probably
partly assume. The new provision will
not go into effect until 1900 and will
bring into the treasury about $500 an
nually.

GERM4NY AND THE PHILIPPINES.
German Am mbassador at Washington Not
Instructed Concerning Situation.


Instructed Concerning Situation.
Washington, June 24.-It can be stat
ed positively that since the arrival of
Admiral Diedrich with German war
ships at Manila no instructions what
ever relating to the Manila situation
have been sent by the German foreign
Office to the German ambassador at
Washington, nor has the subject as
sumed a phase where instructions of
any kind have passed during the past
three weeks. This disposes of various
reports, based on the fact that DR.. Won
Holleben, the German ambassador, call
ed on the secretary of state yesterday,
that being the regular diplomatic day.
This statement is made from authori-
tative sources to show that no basis
exists for the story that DR.. Won Hol-
leben requested and secured permission
for the landing of German marines at
Manila, to protect the German consul
late.

On board the dispatch boat Wanda,
off Juragua, Friday morning, June "a,
via Playa del Este, June 24-This
morning (Friday) four troops of the
First cavalry, four troops of the Tenth
cavalry and eight troops Of Roosevelt's
Rough Riders-less than thousand
men in all--dismounted and attacked
two thousand Spanish soldiers in the
thickets within five miles of Santiago
de Cuba The Americans beat the enc
my back into the city, but they left the
following dead upon the field:
Rough Riders.
Captain Allen Kapron of Troop L.
Sergeant Hamilton Fish, jr.
Privates Tilman and Dawson, both of
Troop l..
Private Dougherty of Troop A.
Private w. T. Erwin of Troop F.
First Cavalry.
Privates Dix, York, Bjork, Colbe, Ber-
tin and Lemmock.
Tenth Cavalry.
Corporal White.
At least fifty American soldiers were
wounded, including six officers. Sew
eral Of the wounded will die. Twelve
dead Spaniards were found in the bush
after the fight, but the Spanish loss
was doubtless far in excess of that.
General Young commanded the expe-
dition and was with the regulars, while
Colonel Wood directed the operations
of the Rough Riders several miles west
Both parties struck the spaniards
about the same time and the fight last
ed an hour. The Spaniards opened fire
from the thick brush and had every
advantage of numbers and position, but
the troops drove them back from the
start, stormed the blockhouse around
which they made the final stand and
sent them scattering over the noun
tains.
The cavalrymen were afterwards re-
inforced by the Seventh, Twelfth and
Seventeenth infantry, part of the Ninth
cavalry, the Second Massachusetts, and
the Seventy-f1rst New York. The
Americans now hold the position at the
threshold of Santiago de Cuba, with
more troops going forward constantly,
and they are preparing for a final as
sault upon the city.

Major Brodie, shot through the right

night, there was a general feeling that the people were finally and irrevocably sold to the combined water companies Now it is asserted that the Henneberry resolution is null and void because the charter provides that eight votes is neces- Sary to pass over a veto, and that no veto message can be killed arbitrarily by a resolution which secures but six votes.
 It has already been declared by the City Attorney that the first resolution intro duced by Henneberry that fixed rates in- side of five minutes is clearly illegal as no investigation, as required by law, was held and if the Mayors veto should be held valid there will not be legal rates in existence after July l.
 Nothing can now be done to test the legality of the rates till the companies begin to charge the figures so kindly pre- pared for them by MT. Henneberry. Some of the largest property owners have all ready decided to band together and bring a test case as soon as possible, which will not be for three months.
 EX-Attorney-General Hart some weeks ago expressed the opinion that there Is nothing in the contention that the State constitution makes it unnecessary to sub init a water rate ordinance to the Mayor. as the sole power to fix the rate is vested in the Council. There is Supreme Court decision on the point. but 1t Is stated that 1t applies to the act under which San Francisco Is governed.
 In any event there are enough doubts and legal bubbles to take into court, and that Is where the ordinance will eventually go.

 Debate.

The Church Workers Council met last evening at the Grace Methodist Church. J. J. Morris had charge of the singing and the praise service and scripture read ings were conducted by Rev. J. A. B. Wilson.
 Then w. B. Higginbotham told what he knew about the giggling girl and Mrs Glendora Pedler told her experiences with the irrepressible boy. In the beginning or her paper stae was rather sarcastic about these bachelors and maidens, especially when their ages are told in whispers, g1v- ing advice how to rear children. She stated as follows:
 ''It is a trite saying, If you desire to find one who knows all the mysteries of science, go not to the sage who has spent a lifetime in laborious research. but to the college sophomore, whose egotism is as boundless as the mysteries or the un1- all about how to raise children and gov ern them properly, get the opinion of some bachelor or maiden lady of mature years. 4o read a paper this evening on the subject of The Irrepressible Boy I begged to be excused upon the plea that possessed the boy, and consequently knew very much less about his training than some one who never owned such treasure.
 My excuse was not accepted, so l am here before you not so much to instruct least @ t. is ,ff of vital interest
 A debate closed the council. Richard T. Marrack took the affirmative side, showing that for the amount ot tune Ia schools are not producing satlsfactory re- suits. Rev w. Melvin Woodward was on the negative side of the question The assembly was rather in favor of the mega tive view. Rev. H. Pearce made the clos ing prayer.
