HAvEMEYER's NARROW ESCAPE
A Collision of Ponies on the New
port Polo Grounds.

NEWPORT. Aug. B-Theodore Have
meyer narrowly escaped death on the field
at Batemans Point In the final match
yesterday afternoon between the County
Clab of Wastchester and the Point Ju-
dith Polo Club teams for the Newport
cups donated by Alfred G. and Reginald
Vanderbilt.
In the struggle for the eleventh goal
in the third period the pony ridden by Mr..
Havemeyer and that of Rene La Monta-
que, jr., met with frtghtful force in
head-on collision in the chase for the ball.
Mr. Havemeyers pony fell and bruised
him badly. As the fashionable gathering
of spectators saw the rider fall and the
little beast kicking groan went up.
Referee Collier and the players of both
teams FASTENED to the assistance of Mr.
HavemeYer. He was taken to the dress
ing tent and given a rundown. After ten
minutes delay the piucisy rider resumed
His place. although he was famed from
the accident, and found difficulty in walk
irg ms he led his pony out to remount.
Just after the contest had been resumed
Robert l. Beekman rode his pony at full
speed into the goal post In a sciimmage
around the ball. His right leg was hurt
but the pony got the worst of the impact,
and after changing his mount Mr.. Eeek-
man was able to continue in the game.
There was an abundance of reckless
riding by both teams and many times the
ponies met in collision which threatened
to unseat the riders

THE PRINT CLOTH MARKET.
Trade Last Week Satisfactory,
Everything Constdcrcd

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. lS.-Local
brokers report that the total sales in the
print cloth market during the week just
ended are estimated ut I40,Goo pieces, AL
odds, which IL rated us very good. con-
sidering the unsettled condition of the
market. The cloth market is weaker
even than last week, q result OF the
decision OF the Manufacturers Associa-
ton TO circulate paper calling for re-
duction in wages of about 10 per cent.
There was promise of Improvement on
Saturday. according to reports from the
buying centres but Monday afternoons
meeting Of the manufacturers changed the
situation materially and caused buyers
to pause and await the result Of the cut
down proposition before purchasing goods
at present prices, which would be con-
siderably lowered If the cut-down was
made effective.
The relative positions OF manufacturers
and buyers are about on a par. Buyers
are In need of and manufacturers must
soon dispose of goods. A strike will
strengthen the position of manufacturers
in maintaining present prices. while in all
probability the putting into effect Of the
cut-down will weaken prices unless manu-
facturers here, under the present policy
of independent selling. refuse to lower
their figures. and compel buyers to come
to their terms.
The past weeks sales represent only
orders for imperative needs. and when
unsettled conditions here are removed an
other big buying movement is confidently
looked for.
The market is steady and unchanged at
2 ZIG cents for regulars, and on that
basis for odds.

Another danger which threatened the crop
was rust, and few days ago the report

SOCIALISM IN GERMANY.
The Propaganda by Which 1t Has
Iucreaerd Recently.

WJESBADEM, Aug. 1S-The recent cleo
ton for the Reichstag at Mernel-Heide-
krug was a nest significant example of
the rapid increase Of Socialism in Ger
many of late years Since the elections of
1898, the Socialist vote has increased 50
per cent in the district OF Meinel<Heide-
krug; this is only the latest instance of
the growing power of the Coilectivist
party in Germany. The Deraocratic-So-
cialst party is today the strongest po-
liticel party in the Empire. Its power has
continually increased in the last thirty
years At the general elections for the
Reichstag in ts1 the Socialist candidates
poiled 12i.e55 votes; In ISL. Sli, 9S1; in 1890,
/ 427 29S. in 1893. ,128: In 1895, 2,1oo.0o
votes.
About oDe-fourth of the total electorate
voted for the Socialist candidates at the
last elections. Though this may be partly
explained by the economic evolution which
has taken place in Germany since 1871,
by the wonderful Industrial development
of the country and by the concentration
Of capital. the success of the Socialists is
largely owing to the splendid organiza-
ton of their party. The general manage
ment of the party is placed in the hands
of an executive committee, which has full
powers over all Socialist organizations
throughout the country. In every locality
of any Importance. the Socialists are
grouped into political clubs, generally
called "electIoneeying clubs because
such clubs have the LEAST to fear from the
police
The German Socialists long since under
stood that tho success OF their party de-
pesded, 70 a great eytant, upon the f1nan-

Socialists have succeeded in making their
party a wealthy ene. Every member con-

gShda in the provinces. snd the remainder
is sent TO the EXECUTIVE Committee. The
total amount received by the committee
last year, including. proceeds from the
party organ. the ffVGrwaerts,' was ss5,-
900 All the party officers are paid regu-
lar salaries. The president Of the Exec
utive Committee receives 50 marks a
month, the treasurer $50 marks, and the
secretary 80 marks As the members Of
the Reichstag receive no salary, the So
cialist deputies are paid marks day
out OF the party funds. Those who are
rot residents of Berlin and who so to

fulfilling their mandate as representatives
in the RetehstaS are paid an additional

For more than twenty years the float
ing hotel scheme had been a hobby of
Mr. Arbuckle and on July II the SIAM
bier made her first trip. 1t was his idea
that the people in this city would enjoy
spending a night at sea.
The initial trip of the Stambler which
had been fitted up at considerable ex-
pense, was failure The night was I'M
usually warm, and between the heat and
mosquitoes, passengers were unable to
sleep. Patronage dropped off gradually
until so few presented themselves that Mr..
Arbuckle decided that his experiment was
not a success and gave orders to discon-
tinue the trips.

Evidences That They Are buying on
All DecIincs-The Bank Statement
Apparently .Jockeyed" by Finan-
cinI Interests - The Wheat Crop.
NEW YORK. Aug. 1S.-The market on
Friday and Saturday lost the greater
part of the gains of the first four market
days of the week. The insiders gave it
no support The big steel syndicate
seemed to desire a lower grade of prices.
1t is only reasonable that the important
capitalists should endeavor to buy as
cheaply as possible. and the mere fact
that they seek to depress their special
ties is the best Indication that they have
no desire to sell al anything like pr-sint
quotations. There WAS no pressure of
stocks from any direction, though lhe
bearish crew succeeded in knocking OF a
few fractions on account of the prevail
ing apathy; nevertheless they We're UNI
able to buy back the shares which they
had sold without paying an advance
therefor. 1t will be recognized from this
that the attempted raid was not sue
cess.
The point was given out pretty freely
on Friday that the banks would make a
comparatively poor statement. yet no
one could make ii out from the known
movements of currency or of loans. but
the point was proved yesterday when
the banks showed up loss of S2,5e0, 600 in
surplus reserve. OF course, some of the
wealthy bank owners who are now buy
ing stocks helped TO manipulate the state
ment so as to make it look poor.
None of these indications. the pressure
Of the bears, the lack of support from
the large interests in the manipulated
bank statement, gives any reason for
pessimism regarding the market outlook
There may and probably will be a dull
market for time, but many conservative
people look for an upward movement Ia
ter in the season.
, In discussing the Government wheat
crop report the Financial Chronicle
says:
Figures are taken as pointing to a
crop Of winter and spring wheat combined
of about $50. Oa1. Gp9 bushels. Private inves-
tigators still place the probable yield at
fully 7o0.oJIt9o bushels and some consid-
erably higher, the promise in many parts
of the spring wheat belt being superb,
while the harvest of winter wheat has
proved exceptionally large. But even at
e6n eal.01o bushels the crop would be 1885,,
0aec91 bushels above that of last year,
which was only 522. Cc1oJl bushels.
1t is certain. therefore, that We shall
have large surplus for export. 1t is
equally certain that there will be an ac-
tive demand for all we may have to
spare, provided only that no attempt is
made TO rush prices up TO forbiddins fig
ures. The latest accounts from France
and some other countries on the continent
of Europe indicate a greater deficiency
than at first seemed likely. Furthe.mor
