SOCIALISM is GROWING.
Salem Editor Notes the Strong Ten
denotes in Chicago.


Editor E. Hofer, of the Salem Jour
nal. writes from Chicago to his pa
per, as follows:
There is a marked tendency toward
socialism in Chicago. Like the
growth of the referendum in oregon,
it was the leading feature of the plat
forms of all parties, and the socialist
party vote increased. The manage
ment of the street car lines has
supplied the strongest argument for
municipal ownership. The service is
inferior to Portland or Los Angeles
and Frisco has infinitely better street
cars.
Just how public ownership is com
ing about no one seems to know, but
that ii will come is as certain as that
the sun will rise. The effect of the
Chicago election will be very far
reaching in promoting public owner
ship in other cities,
Friday evening we took a cab drive
from to 10 o'clock on North Clark
street, and for miles there are sa-
looms with dance halls on both sides
of the street, with indescribable up
roar, glare of lights, crashing of cars
endless music and dissipation oi
men and women. There is probably
not a wickeder street in the city, mol
in the world.
The election of Judge Dunno wa
J gratifying to the gambling and sport
; ing element. 1t means the restoration
: of race track gambling and sportni
: interests in general. To hear his sup
porters talk, Chicago has been ol
S the verge of ruin from too much re
striction of vice. The city is rathe
ouieter than it was two years ag
when / was here.

London Stock Exchange.

London, May 14.-Tradlng on the Stock Exchange opened this week ner vous and hesitating owing to fears of political trouble as a result of the neu- trality question. Leading securities were rather freely offered and then q forced liquidation of American railroad shares added to the depression, which disappeared in the middle of the week with the announcement of the failure of E. c. Hawkins, stock broker. which cleared the air. Operators also recovered from their political nervous ness, the bears covered and then the tone became more steady.
 Americans broke rather badly early in the week owing to the announce ment of the failure of Mir. Hawkins and the bears were jubilant. but following the strenuous operations in Wall Street at the close of the week quotations in some cases were higher than last Sat urday Business here is still profes sional, the public abstaining from spec ulation to any extent.

cARLoTTA,s STUNT.
Smooth Woman sEuIets Boston Citizens
 of s4O,OO0.


 Boston, Hay 14.--A woman who claimed to Sbe Carlotta. the wife of Maximiliian, former Emperor of Mex iro and brother of the present Empe- Ter of Austria, has according to The Herald left the city after securing some $40,00e from members of the Ital- ian colony in thIs city on the pretense that she was the rightful claimant or the Austrian throne.
 She is," The Herald says, being sought by over one hundred residents of the north end district. who for all most eight years have been paying her money to enable her. as they supposed, to gain possession of the Austrian throne, upon which event taking place she promised that those who helped her would be made ministers and mo- bles and be given vast estates. One woman, the wife of prominent 1tal- ian, gave her $3.000 on the strength of the promise that she should be a duchess. An organ grinder contributed A few hundred dollars. all his savings, on the understanding that he should be made court musician.
 "Other contributed tens and hundreds on similar assurances. Many Italian residents secretly visited her at her royal headquarters, a handsomely fur nished room, where the pseudo queen sat on an imposing throne, resplendent in red cloth and tinsel. and graciously allowed them to kiss her hand on the occasions on which they brought trib- utes of money At each side of the throne stood courtiers and a body guard who clanked stage arms.
 Mysterious secrets, such as would overthrow the present Austrian ruler, were credited to this woman. When she appeared in Boston eight years ago 1t was mysteriously whispered among the few in the north end that Carlotta, sister-in-law of Emperor Francis Joseph, was in Boston in disguise, hav- ing escaped from Brussels, where she had for many years been confined in an asylum.
 Italians fairly familiar with Aus trian history, when they were told that Carlotta had come here to collect few faithful followers on whom she could rely and enough money to return to Austria and use in connection with her all powerful secrets and that those who aided her would bask, when she gained the throne. in her royal favor, believed their fortunes were made.
 "Carlotta's aides in this vast enter prise were a number of select and dashing young men of various nation alities among whom was one Moriarity who represented himself to be the Crown Prince Rudolph. the eldest son of Emperor Francis Joseph who in January, 1889, shot himself
 Recently the Italians were getting rather suspicious and began to hint openly that Carlotta and her hench- men were delaying matters Recent visits to the throne room resulted in the discovery that the woman had left"

CHINESE NEUTRALITY.
COnger Thinks Country Tries to Be
 Iranarfinl


 San Francisco, May 14.-H Conger, former American Minister to China, arrived here today from the Orient MT. Conger is accompanied by his wife. Af- ter a brief stay in this city Mir. Con- ger will go to his former home in Iowa before assuming his duties as Am bassador to Mexico.
 It is Mir. Conger's intention to pro- ceed almost immediately to the city of Mexico unless he receives orders to the contrary, but Mrs conger will first re- turn to her home at Des Moinss, Ia.
 Mir. Conger said that the diplomatic matters in China are in a satisfactory condition. To a question as to Cnina's neutrality in the Russo-Japanese war he said
 China has always been disposed to maintain the strictest neutrality be- tween the warning nations, and although there has been much crIti- cism from both Japanese and Russia sources, I believe that the Chinese Government has never shown partiali- ty one way or the other. but has always adhered strictly to the requirements of the international law" Mir. Conger was asked concerning the periodical rumors of Boxer uprisings and replied:
 There is absolutely no truth in such reports. There is no danger of another Boxer outbreak. Of course, there are local troubles In the interior, but that Is from purely local causes, which have no bearing whatever upon the pres enee of foreigners. There is no orr ganized movement in China against the foreign people. There never has been a time in the history of the coun- try when the government was more ready or better prepared to put down any incipient organized effort that might be directed against resident forefgners."

 This Is the fourth attempt in the last four months to wreck passenger trains in the same place.
 Previous attempts were made by piling ties on the track. without seri- ous results. This wreck was caused by removing the spikes and fishplates of two rails in the inside of curve. The engine on No. 17 passed over the loose rails safely. but the mail car left the track and was dragged a hundred yards along the embankment before the train was stopped. The next five cars, two express and baggage cars, smoker and two day coaches. went into the ditch.

sources both official and private. A high Japanese official today sketched to the Associated Press the important acts of the Russian fleet since France was first moved to preserve neutrality. He said:
 ''The Governor general of Indo-China officially reported that the Russian neet had entirely departed from Kamrann Bay on April 22, but on April 2S there still remained in the bay one cruiser. one torpedo boat destroyer and fifteen transports of the Russian fleet. On April 24 the entire Russian fleet re- entered Kamranh Bay and rode at an- chor until April 26. when majority of the warships sailed. leaving behind four converted cruisers and one tor pedo boat destroyer. These latter ves- sells took supplies of coal and provi- sions. On April 26 toward evening these vessels stopped and examined the German steamer Loosok and the Nor wegian steamer Providence which passed outside of the bay. On April 27 more than thirty Russian vessels were anchored at Hon-Kohe and nve o'clock in the afternoon they stopped and examined the British steamer Stet- tin, which was passing.
 According to the French officials report, Admiral Rojestvensky promised Admiral De Jonquieres that he would leave Hon Kohe May 5. It IS evident, however. that the Russian ves- sells were anchored at Hon-Kohe on May 8.
 'The latest telegram from 1ndo- China indicate the presence at Hon Kohe on May 12 of seven Russian bat tleships, seven cruisers. two torpedo boat destroyers and four converted cruisers.
 since the appearance of the Russian fleet in the Far East, Saigon has be- come a base for the transportation or military supplies for vice-Admiral Ro- jestvensky's fleet. The number of ves- sells furnishing supplies to the Rus- sians IS so great that those which were anchored at Saigon May were count able by tens."
