BERLIN, May 2.-(New York World Ca

ticians are in a turmoil now, chiefly be-
cause OF the expected success of the So
cialists in the coming elections. August
Bebel, the principal socialist leader, thinks
their number of members in the Reichstag
will increase from So to so and the number
of votes polled from 100000 to more than
5000, ,OOO

the socialist organ, the Vorwaerts, and the
great bulk OF the rank and file Of the party
feel confident that the number Will be 100
or slightly more than one-fourth of the
whole Reichstag membership
The other parties are alarmed and work
ing with every weapon in their armory in
cludlng the poisoned sort, to check the
socialists in their onward march.
In court circles especially is theiI
dread for emperor courtier and all they
represent have no bitterer enemies thar
the socialists.
Out of 397 districts sending representa-.
tives to the Reichstag 1856 are supplied
with socialist candidates, somethinl
probably unparalleled in the constitutions
countries of Europe. The merest cipheri
in the party, the poorest laborers. are con
tributing to the campaign fund with aston

1t is worthy of note that the rich con
servative party, embracing all the lanC
owners of the country. and the wealth,
national liberals combined, have con
tributed for election purposes only one
third as much as has been contributed b!
the social democrats.

LONDON. May 2.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram the bridge
craze is making havoc In London society,
especially among the women. Some prom
inent people have started an anti-bridge
league, but as the greatest social leaders,
notable the king and the duchess OF De-
vonshire, are among the most enthusiastic
bridge players, the members Of the league
find themselves vigorously boycotted. Young
girls and young married women get
heavily involved in debt and II is said that
grave consequences have frequently ensued
where they had become indebted to un-
scrupulous men.
AS restaurant dining is destroying the
private entertaining which has been a dis
tinctive feature OF English social life, so
bridge playing, which goes on all the after
noon and evening, Is causing conversation
to become a lost art.

ESTABLISH REIGN OF TERROR
STRIKERS STARTING A SOCIAL,
REVOLUTION LONG PLANNED
BY AGITAToRs.

Madrid, Oct. 29.-General Velasco,
the military commandant at Bilbao,
telegraphs the government that at day
break Wednesday morning the garrf-
son occupied all the strategic posi-
lions with the view of protecting the
banks, public buildings, factories and
markets and especially the Jesuit and
other religious houses, which the riot
ers seem determined to attack.
General Velasco,e reports that the
cavalry repeatedly charged the rioters
in the old part of the city. Some Of
the rioters were killed and many
wounded. Revolvers and stones and
other missiles. General Velasco adds,
were used by the rioters in their str0g-
gle with the soldiers.
The principal railways are under
the protection of the troops. Trains
continue to run though with extreme
caution. All other traffic in and out
side Bilbao has been stopped. A num-
Der of miners came in and Joined the
strikers.
The military forces are considered
sufficient to check incendiarism and
attacks on property, but both the gar
rison and police are kept constantly
on the alert to prevent fresh out
RACES.
It is believed here that the move
ment in and around Bilbao is assuming
the proportions of a social revolution,
long planned by Socialists and an
archists, as was done in Barcelona two
years ago.
Newspaper reports Of the disorder
in Bilbao represent the strikers as
having established a reign of terror.

villaverde confirmed the report that

INVESTIGATION BEING MADE.
Large Quantity of Dynamite Found In
Seattle Depot.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 29.-Twelve
sticks of dynamite, done up in two
packages, with fuses attached, all
ready to light, were found concealed
in the toilet room of the %Interurban
depot here Wednesday. There al
enough of the explosive to have blown
down all the buildings within a ra-
dius Of two blocks and to damage
property for a distance of ten blocks
from the depot.
The discovery was made by a labor
er who saw the package behind the
washstand. He pulled it out and
found it was dynamite.
An explosion of dynamite occurred
at First and Jackson streets, in the
rea of the Capitol hotel, early Tues
day morning. not more than $50 feet
from the depot building, and was sup
posed to have been the work of some
drunken man. Now the matter is
viewed in a different light, and ar in
vestigation is being made.

his name as William Shannon was az
rested in a saloon with fourteen sticks
of dynamite in his pocket.

UNION MEN QUIT WORK.
St. Louis Express Wagon Drivers on
Sympathetic Strike. !.

-
st. Louis, Oct. 29.-The unusual ac-
ton Of union express wagon drivers
in the employ Of various local express
companies who inaugurated a strike
Wednesday with a view to forcing a
settlement from the Pacific Express
company with it's striking employees,
caused practically a suspension of
business ordinarily handled by the
companies affected in st. Louis.
The first intimation the local agents
had of the step contemplated by their
employees was on Tuesday evening,
when each of them received notifica-
ton committees representing employees
of their company. The notification
did not include a demand for either
an increased wage scale or a shorten
ing of hours. Hurried conferences
were held on Tuesday between local
agents of several companies and their
employees, and it is charged by nearly
all of the former that the latter broke
faith with them after having given
their word that they would not parti-
cipate in a sympathetic strike.
The COMPANIES affected are the
Adams, National, American, Wells
Fargo and Pacific.

EXCITEMENT HAS SUBSIDIZED.

st. Louis, Oct. 29.-The state

the Mississippi Valley Trust company,
whose sentiments are echoed in inter-
views given out by other trust com
pany officials of St. Louis, that "the
situation is thoroughly in hand, the TX
citement has subsidized and from this
on we expect business will be con
Quoted in the usual orderly manner"
expresses the opinion that seems gen.
eral after the unwonted financial con
ditions which prevailed here during
parts of Tuesday and Wednesday.
Officers of all the trust companies
state that voluntary offers of help
were received from financial institu-
lions at New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago, New Orleans, Kansas City, Bos-
ton and many of the smaller towns Of
Missouri and Illinois, but all were de-
clined for the reason that they had
sufficient cash with which to handle
their business. Expressions of con-
fdence and offers of aid on the part
of the national banks, financial and
other institutions of st. Louis, helped
to strengthen the situation and re-
store confidence.
"The furry is over" said Mr.. A. A.
B. Woerheide, president of the Lin
coin Trust company. Long before
Dur regular closing hour had arrived
all those who desired their money had
received it and departed. There is no
reason for further concern"

FORT RILEY MANEuvERs.
Attacking Force Badly crippies and
DELAYS a Convoy.

Delays a Convoy. Il
Fort Riley, Kan, Oct 29.-The mill.
tary maneuvers of Wednesday were
planned by Colonel Wa gner, the chief
umpire, and were highly successful.
The exercise roughly stated was the
attack and defense of a convoy, and,
when all things stated in the problem
are taken into consideration, the situa.
ton at the close of the days fighting
was somewhat severe for the wagon
train. The defense Of the train was
in charge of Lieutenant Colonel
Loughborough, who had under his
command the Second, Sixth, Twenty
first and Twenty-fifth regiments Of in
fantry, one battalion of the Twelfth
infantry, one squadron of the Fourth
cavalry and the Twentieth field bat
terry.
The idea of the problem vas that
the supply train was to be hurried
through to an advance body that had
been cut off from it's supplies. A
force under Lieute2ant Colonel Kings
bury was to attack this train, do as
much damage as possible and hold it
until an imaginary force coming up in
the rear should enable. him to cap
ture the train. He certainly delayed
it, and crippled it badly, and more
over, held it for a length of time suf-
ficient in the opinion of the umpires
for his reinforcements to arrive and
when they came up there would have
been some grand doings with that long
line of wagons. AS usual in the ma
n%euvers, the problem came to a close
just as the real good fighting was
about to commence.
