been discovered in an offer TO furnish
Great Britain information relating TO
; the freighting of vessels for the Trans

that in the letter containing his pro-
posal he asked %, 600 francs in return
for the information. It is also alleged
that the letter was seized on the
strength Of information given through
DR.. Leyds, whereUDOn NJ. Philip alb
seconded.
The nationalist journals insinuate
that he received timely warning from
the French government and was thus
enabled TO escape to England.
DR.. Leyds, however, denies the part
attributed to him in the affair and the
British embassy has issued a formal
reputation of any relations direct or
indirect with Philip.
According to the Journal des Debats
Phillip has gone to the United States
where he formerly lived and where, it
is said, he became a bankrupt as the
result of his unfortunate management

mediately informed the departmental
commission, which promptly proceed

MEETING AT COOPER UNION.
Industrial Organization Discussed by
Prominent Speakers.

New York, Feb. 1S.-COOper Union
was filled tonight with an audience
gathered to hear a discussion on the
ethical basis Of Industrial Organiza-
ton, under the auspices Of the Peoples
Institute. Professor Charles SDrague
Smith presided. Edward Markham was
introduced and read one of his poems,
entitled The End of the Century"
Mr.. Markham was heartily cheered
and was recalled. the audience demand
ing the reading Of The Man With the
Hoe, to which he responded
W. ii. T. Faunce, president of Brown
university, the principal speaker of the
evening, said. in part:
In order that we may study the
human brotherhood more closely. 1
want to consider with you four men
the man with the hoe the man with
d pen. the man with a purse, and the
man with an idea"
He then went on to say that the man
with hoe had been immOrtalized by
Millet. Without tie labor of the man
with the hoe, all the other labor of the
world would cease, and to lift that
lonely tOiler is to lift the world.
The man with a pen" the speaker
said, was likewise toiling in the serv-
ice of the world. Without him all the
great thoughts and inspirations Of the
world would die almost as soon as
spoken. The man with a purse is a
type" DR.. Faunce said "whom we
can readily discern. The question is.
what is he doing with it? The man
with an idea IS one that cannot be so
readily portrayed. but behind purse
pen and hoe lies the ideal-the vision.
Every mans work is value lust i'm
proportion as it is mixed with ideas
Unintelligent labor simply damages
raw material and defaces the beauty
of the world. We should, then. value
the man with the idea. 1t may not be
our idea, but give him a chance to ex-
press it
Professor Smith read letter from
DR.. HebeT Newton, which was, in part.
as follows:
Labor organizes. capital organizes.
Capital is organizing faster and fur
Their than labor. Unless labor can or
ganize on the same gigantic scale. it
will be more at the mercy of capitaI
than ever. Hosts of men will be thrown
out of employment. The market being
in the hands of a few men. prices can
be forced up. Taxation beyond the
dream of the past can be laid by pri
vate hands upon the whole community.
the entire nation, The enormous power
Of aggregated capital can debaueh and
corrupt our city councils, our legisia-
lures, our congress
Regulation and control must be as
sumed by the state and pushed for
ward as fast and as far as needful.
The end Of that control is not to break
down the high organization Of capital
but to safeguard il from its own greed
and rapacity, to humanize it. and TO
naturalize it and ultimately to social
ize it. The ultimate outcome Of the
trust seems to me what is practical in
the dream Of socialism"
