HOT ANlI-socIALIsT SPEECH.
German Emperor Says it's Lie That Socialists
are Workingmen's Best Friends.
(By the Associated Press.)

Rreslau. Prussia. Dec. 5.-Emperor
William, addressing a deputation of
workingmen today, made a bitter anti
socialist speech, declaring 1T was lie
to say that workmen had to depend on
the Socialist party for betterment OF
their position. The Socialists, he added,
had terrorized and trod the worklngmen
under foot, and as men of honor they
must have no more to do with them.
The presence of the workmen Emperor
william maintained, showed they had not
disappointed him in the expectation ne
expressed at Essen and had helped 10
keep free from reproach the memory OF
his friend, the late Herr Krupp. the
working classes We're always the object
of deep interest and solicitude to the
Emperor Therefore he was justified III
addressing a word of warning to the
workingmen. For years they had let
themselves be led by agitators and So
cialists under the delusion that they
must belong to that party if they wish
ed to better their position. That was
great lie, and a serious mistake. These
agitators had tried to stir up the work
ingman against their employers against
other classes and against the throne ana
altar, and at the same time they had
most unscrupulously exploited terror
lied and enslaved them in order to
strengthen their own power not Tor the
promotion of the welfare Of the working
men but in order to SOW hatred between
the classes and disseminate coWardly
ISLANDERS. from which nothing, not even
the grandest quality, the honor OF Ger
man manhood, remained immune. With
these people the working classes should
not have anything to do
The Emperor concluded with asking
the deputation to send comrade from
their midst, simple unpdetending man
from the workshop. into the national
parliament. Such man would be gladly
welcomed as a working representative of
the German working classes. The repre-
santatives Of other classes would willing
w work together with such representa-
tives however many they might be.

Poor Prospects for Cuban Treaty.
CRy the Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 5.-The unexpected
turn in the Cuban treaty negotiations at
Havana has greatly surprised the OFF,
cials here. who had every reason to be-
lieve. from Minister Squires' reports,
that the treaty was practically an ac-
complished fact. Now that it is to be
thrown into the House of Representatives
at Havana with Nationalist majority
supposed to be hostile to the establish
ment of closer relations with the United
States, it is feared that the treaty is
lost, for If not rejected outright, it is
almost certain to be amended so as to
make it unacceptable to the United
States.
Havana, Dec. 5.-After a conference
with Secretary Zaldo and Monies. to-
night, President Palma said:
'My commissioners, Senores Zaldo and
Monies, will sign the reciprocity agree
ment with General Bliss probably on
Monday or Tuesday next. 1t will tftn
be sent to Washington, where the treaty
will be signed by Secretary Hay and
Cuban Minister Quesada"
