BRIBERY IN GERMANY.

ScrapS.
Berlin, Oct. ga great sensation
has been caused py the allegations
that Count Won Posadowsky.W Wehner
secretary of sta tie for the interior, had
been bribed W ith IL, 900 marks for his
wo. X in connection with the penal
servltude bill of 1898. The allegation
is contained in letter which is going
the rounds of the German press. The
writer asserts that Herr Krupp sub
scribed 5000 marks to the fund con-
stituting the alleged bribe. The Ma
iional zeitungb says it expects that
Count Won Posadowsky- Wehner will
resign, and nearly all the papers con-
denim him severely.
A special addition of the Berliner
Correspondent, which was issued by
the minister of the interior this after
noon, publishes a statement admitting
that Director Won Woedtke, OF the inn
perial department of the interior, in
duced Secretary Bueck, Of the Central
Association of Manufacturers, 10 de-
vote IL, 900 marks for printing reich
stag material and other documents
tending to show arguments in favor OF
passing the anti-strike bill. This
printed material was sent to the pro-
vinoial press for reproduction. The
official statement amounts to virtual
corroboration OF the press charges
brought against the ministry Of the in
terror, OF which Count Won Posadowsky'
Wehner is the head.
All the evening papers comment
upon the official administration. The
entire Liberal press now demands the
resignation OF Posadowsky- Wehner,
aud Director Won Woedtke, the assump-
tion being that the latter doubtless
acted at the suggestion OF the former.
The Berliner Tageblatt says; 1.-THE
sole consequence OF the official state
ment is that both must resign" A
similar demand is made by the Vos'
siche Zeitung, which remarks; 1T il
an unheard OF proceeding that govern
ment department should request anc
receive large sums from one small sec
tion OF a population directly interested
in pending legislation for the purpos'
OF influencing the nation against sucl
legislation.
The only papers which attempt t
defend the secretary of state for the in
terror are the Berliner Post, the Kreui
Zeitung and the Berliner Nachrichten
whose justification of his course in tn
matter is weakly apologetic.

Paris, Oct. 29.-Dr. Leyds, Trans

reference to the plans of ex-Presidenr

"Most of the stories published on

he will sojourn in the neighborhood OF
Nice for the Wwinter.

Valley Field, Quebec, today.
Two hundred men employed by the
Montreal Cotton Company on the
foundations OF a new mill, went out on
strike yesterday, demanding an In
crease of 25 cents day in their pay.
The company refused to deal with the
union. The strikers prevented the
company from shipping goods and to-
day held up the company's coal pile.
The local police were powerless. The
company had to have coal or shut
down. Consequently message was
sent to Montreal asking for military
assistance. 1t arrived at Valley Field
at 4:3O O'Clock this afternoon and con-
sisted of two companies of the Royal
Scots. The embargo on the coal pile
war promptly raised.
At dusk a big crowd, composed OF
strikers and their sympathizers, gath
cred and there was every evidence o.
trouble. About $3.50 the mob gathered
near the Empire mill and began throw

otherwise destroying property. The

Chicago Employees Affiliate with the
A nerican Federation of labor.
Chicago, Oct. 80.--The postotiice
clerks of Chicago today entered the
ranks of the trade unionists. The
clerks have affiliated themselves with
the American Federation Of Labor, and
the new organization will be known as
the Chicago Postoflice Clerks Union.
1t is claimed that practically all OF the
| 400 postotfice employees In Chicago
are included In the movement.
Foremost among the objects for which
the new union is to strive will be the
adoption OF the eight.hour working day
for letter.carriers. Another object TO
be given almost equal prominence will
be the agitation in favor of federal leg
islation that will fix absolutely the rate
Of wages for letter-carriers and other
postoffice employees. taking the matter
com pletely out OF the hands OF the
"Promotion Board" and other similar
agencies. 1t is to be labor union
pure and simple, and will uirect Its Of
forts solely to the problem Of bettering
the lot of the rank and file OF the post
office epmloye5.
