HANOVER, Oct. 9-The tenth annual
Socialist conference since the repeal of
the socialist laws opened this morning In
1.-THE Balthorf, which IS tastefully decor
ated with laurel leaves, red banners and
the escutcheons of various German cities.

sentatives Of Holland Sweden, Switzer-
land and Austria, the Austrian delegation

ist leader, who toward the end Of this
month must enter upon q term of four
weeks imprisonment TO which ne was re-
Gently sentenced The delegates sit at
tables ranged along the whole length OF
the hall. and the scene presents rather the
appearance of students at symposium
than an assembly of worktngmen repre-
senting at least one-fourth of the popula-
ton Of Germany.
Herr Singer was unanimously elected
president After the formal proceedings
animated discussion arose over the ques-
tion whether the committee had acted IN
the interests of socialism in excluding
from the Quest of Martyrs published
in the Vorwaerts, the socialistic organ,
the laborers condemned for taking part in
the Dresden riots.
4 Saxon delegate hotly denounced the
action of the committee, and was repeat
edly called to order. The question was
finally shelved by decision that, the
matter had been adequately thrashed out.
The Dresden, Mecklenburg, Stuttgart
and Munich delegates then moved that an
Interpolation be submitted 10 the Reich
stag regarding the police prohibition of
the dissemination of pamphlets containing
electioneering arguments in streets and
public places, and also regarding the ac-
ton of the postal authorities in prohibit
ing the distribution of socialist literature
on Sunday. because of which prohibition
many socialists have been fined for pri-
vately distributing their party's organ
Herr Bebel contended that an interpo-
lation was impossible in the absence Of
specific data, and the motion was re.
jected. Herr Liebnecht then introduced
a resolution eXhOrting socialists TO take
as active part as possible in the In
ternational Socialist Congress to be held
in Paris in 1900. The resolution was adopt
ed and the conference adjourned.

To Control Natural Gas Output.

The Central Union Gas Company has
been organized under the laws of Virginia
to control the natural gas wells and plants
in Ohio, Indiana and southern Illinois.
The capital stock will be $24, 100000, of
which there will be $1O,OOO,0O0 Z per cent
cumulative preferred and $4,000, 600 of
common stock. OF this authorized capital
$1O,5O0,OOO is to be retained in the treas
ury for the purchase of companies and
plants. The consent of eleven large gas
producing plants has been obtained, so it
is said, toward entering the pool. These
are the Dayton, Tippecanoe City, Coving-
ton, New Western, Piqua, Sydney, Troy,
Springfield, Urbana, South Charleston
and the Mount Sterling gas companies.
1t is asserted that these companies are
earning 100000 net per annum. This
amount, it is expected, will be sufficient to
provide funds for dividends at the rate of
Z per cent upon preferred stock and per
cent upon the common stock, with the
prospect of considerable increase at once
from economies which will result from the
consolidation,

GOMEZ ENTER HAVANA.
He Rides Into the City at the Head
of His Army.

Under escort of three battalions of
American troops Gen. Maxine Gomez,
commander-in-chiefo of the Cuban army,
entered the Cuban capital Friday fore
noon in all the style of a conQuering hero.
The celebration attendant upon his ar
rival was the first important demonstra-
ton of the Cubans, and it was a notewor-
thy affair. 1t was day filed with honor
and pride for the Cuban general, for after
having been cheered to the echo during
his triumphant ride into and through Ha-
yana, he had the pleasure of reviewing
the Cuban troops from the balcony of
the palace which was formerly the Off
cial residence Of Weyler, Blanco and 9TH
err representatives of Spanish authority in
Cuba. AS still another mark of distinc-
ton, Gen. Gomez will live at Quinto Mol
limos, the former summer residence of the
Spanish captain generals, which is beau
tifully situated on the outskirts of the
city.
Gomez left Marianao at 10 o clock in the
morning, and took q carriage to Cerro,
where he mounted and rode at the head Of
the Cuban forces into Havana. His route
was along the thoroughfares of Monte
Aguila, Galiano, San Rafael, Parque Cen
trail and Obispo to the palace. Cuban and
American flags were displayed in great
numbers all along the line Of march, and
the palace was beautifully decorated.
Stops were made at Puentas Grande and
Buena Vista. At the latter point Maj.
Gen. Lee went upon the platform and
welcomed Gen. Gomez Informally in few
hearty words

r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: "The situation is without pre-
cedent. Business has never been better
on the whole, and in some great industries
the gain is astonishing. Exports surpass
last years as much as imports, though the
excess over imports then was heavy. Fail
u-es are smaller than last year and small
er than in any one year of six years past.
Stocks are stronger, the average for the
active railway securities being little
higher and for trusts much more, owing
to the extraordinary advance of $4S.75 in
Tobacco. Payments through exchanges
show greater volume of business than
ever before at this season and nearly one
half larger than in the best Of previous
years. The outgo of breadstuffs and cot
ton continues heavy. But there are some
who fear that such prosperity cannot last.
Failures for the week have been 191 in
the United States, against 233 last year,
and 40 in Canada, against 80 last year."

DEWEY ASKS HELP.
WANTS THE OREGON SENT TO
HIM AT ONCE.
WPoIitical Reasons" Given as Excuse
Request for the Battleship a Sur
prise to Government Complications
with Germany or Others Possible.

A cablegram received at the Navy De-
partment Friday morning from Admiral
Dewey asking that the battleship Oregon,
for political reasons, be sent to Manila at
once, caused a good deal of excitement.
1t was discussed at the cabinet meeting,
and the words political reasons" were
construed to mean that Admiral Dewey is
not entirely satisfied with the attitude OF
some of the foreign warshlps anchored IN
Manila bay. CT course, the Oregon is not
wanted for offensive purposes against the
Filipinos, and the best opinion IN Wash
ington is that the Germans are again
making or threatening to make trouble
for Admiral Dewey.
Great Britain, Japan, Germany and
Russia have fleets in the vicinity of Ma
Mia, which include warships of the class
to which the Oregon belongs. No concern
is felt about the friendliness Of Great
Britain and Japan, nor is there any ap-
prehension that Russia would undertake
to interfere with the carrying out of the
administration policy in the Philippines.
Although Germany has recently ex-
pressed friendship for the United States,
this expression has not caused the Presi-
dent or Admiral Dewey to be any the less
made by the German fleet in Pacific wat
erS.
The understanding was that the Oregon,
after leaving Hawaii, would proceed dl-
rect to Manila, but Admiral Dewey may
not have been fully informed on this point
The Oregon arrived at Honolulu Feb. 5
and the dispatches announcing her arrival
stated that she would remain at least two
weeks in order to have some repairs made
to her boilers and engines.
An official at the Navy Department
said that ship would be dispatched from
San Francisco with a message to the com
mander Of the Oregon, directing him to
proceed to Manila as rapidly as possible.
This officer also stated that the battleship
Iowa would be sent to Manila. With two
battleships added to his fleet Admiral
Dewey will be in position to compel the
Germans to behave themselves, if they
show the slightest sign of creating dis
turbance.
Admiral Dewey may be keenly sighting
a gathering cloud in the east, and is look
ing to the prevention of any possible in
tervention or interference by European
powers in the struggle now in progress in
the neighborhood of Manila. 1t is be-
lieved that in the big fires much property
of foreign residents and business concerns
was destroyed. That these fires were
caused by the insurgents cannot be denied,
and it may be that some Of the foreign
naval commanders in the east are dispos-
ed to seize upon the pretext that their
interests demand protection, which we
cannot afford them, to make landing or
do something obnoxious to the United
States and likely to encourage the insur

NEW PACIFIC LINES.
CHILL PLANS EXTENSION OF HER
COMMERCE.
Two Proposed Steamship Lines BE-
tween Valparaiso and San Francisco
Fireman Meets His Death at Fire
in Chicago Union stock Yards.

Two lines of steamships subsidized by
the Gillian Government may soon be
making regular trips between Valparaiso
and San Francisco. The private secre-
tary of Gillian Consul Tagle said: 1.-The
Chilian-South American Steam Naviga-
ton Company and the British Pacific
Steam Navigation Company are both ne
gotiating to extend their traffic through
to San Francisco, the lines to be subsl-
died by the CHILEAN Government. Both
lines, under subsidy, ran until recently
from Valparaiso to Panama, but now
their vessels come as far north as Ocos,
Guatemala. We arc now endeavOring to
secure a dock in San Francisco, but are
being opposed by the Pacific Mail people
and the negotiations are still pending"
Other enterprises having in view the de-
velopment of CHILEAN industries are being
planned, and Consul Tagle looks for
great increase in Chili's commerce.

MAY COMPEL TRAINS TO STOP.

Supreme Court Gives an Important
ku1ing Regarding Railroads
A decision of considerable general inter
est has been delivered by the United
States Supreme Court. With three JUS
tees dissenting the court held that State
has the power to compel railroad to stop
trains at certain cities prescribed by state
statute. The case was brought against
the Michigan Central Railroad Company
by the State of Ohio, which had passed
law providing that if the railroad ran
three trains a day through certain towns
they should be compelled to stop for pas
sengers. The railroad contended that
this was interference in>sinterstate COM
merce. Justice Harlan, delivering the
majority opinion, said a contrary ruling
would enable the railroads to build up the
great cities of the East and West at the
expense of the small places on the way.

Santa Fe Express Car Is Looted just
Before Daybreak.
The express car of the Cherryvale and
Coffeyville passenger train, branch OF
the Santa Fe which runs between Cher
ryvale and Coffeyville, Kan, was robbed
Of large sum of currency consigned to
a Cofeyville bank while the express mes
senger, Thomas Cooper, was eating
breakfast. The train waits over at Cher
ryvale at night and the switch engine
backs it down to the express office for the
express matter about 4:45 o'clock in the
morning, and afterward pulls it out on
sidetrack. 1t leaves at GAO o'clock. 1t
was between 5:45 and GAO that the rob-
berry was committed. A little over 3d.
600 is the loss estimated by the railway
and express officials, but it is believed to
be much larger than this sum.

PANTHER cARRIls OFF A CHILD.
Dashes Mad1y Through Streets of an

Dashes Mad1y Through Streets of an
Ohio Town with Burden.
The citizens Of Mononcue, Ohio, were
out all the other day hunting for big
panther that has terrorized the residents
of that locality. For weeks past the farm
ers have missed fowl and young animals.
In the snow, tracks of a strange animal
had been seen, but no one had any idea
what was committing the depredations.
A small child of Samuel Hunt was carried
off bodily from it's parents door. The
panther marched boldly down the main
street of the village. The animal spied
the child, closed it's jaws on it and went
galloping out of town. Citizens started in
pursuit and so frightened the beast that
it's human burden was dropped. The child
suffered no injuries other than abrasions
