and that it is men who would beneht most
from the system because the state would
thus assure them competent ana expert

the marriage institution would also become

PLUMBER IN HERRENHAUS
Many Germans Gratifed at Kaiser 8
Honor to Non Socialist Labor Leader.

Berlin, Feb. 3.-The Kaiser has conferred
the notable distinction OF lifelong mem
bership Of the Prussian upper chamber
Qerrenhaus) on Harry Plate, OF Hanover,
a master plumber. 1t Is the first time that
such an honor which is additionally be-
slowed only on noblemen as a reward for
eminent service to the State. has been
awarded to an ordinary artisan. Herr
Plate will take his place in the most ex-
elusive OF legislative chambers, alongside
princes, dukes. field marshals. grand admi-
rails, great landowners. bankers and
other personages who sit there by right OF
heredity or by the grace OF the King.
Herr Plate Is one OF the leading nom
Socialist labor leaders in this country. He
was for years chairman OF the Hanover
plumbers trade union. He is now chair
man OF the Hanover Chamber OF Com
msrce and also OF the German National
association OF artisans chambers. Herr
Plate has lived in many European coun-
tries while working as plumber, and
speaks several languages.
The Cologne Gazette says that Ger
many is grauhed and grateful at Herr
Plates elevation to the Herrenhaus. This
agreeable beginning," adds the seni-offi-
cial journal. proves that the Kaiser
thinks and acts along modern lines, and Is
disposed to give heed TO popular wishes.

captured Quanaminth and General
Micael Codio. who led the insurgents at
Fort Liberty, have been captured by the
government forces and Immediately shot

President Simon will visit the scene
Of the executions, and says that he will
not permit any more. He has conferred
with the foreign consular agents, who
are using their influence to end the
trouble, and has assured them that no
more prisoners will be put TO death. He
added that he had shown clemency 10
the rebels and would continue to do so,
though he regretted to see such a con-
dition of affairs in the country as had
been brought about by the uprising.
The rebellion is officially declared to be
at an end, and general interest is now
concerned with the punishment OF those
who took part in it. The consulates are
crowded with refugees, and an effort is
being made 10 send these to Port-au-

STOCKS RISE IN PARIS
Large Investments in American
and Canadian Shares.
tBy Cable to Tho Tribune. ]

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE Boursc has as
sumed q more cheerful tone than has
prevailed since December Russian
funds have recovered from the depres-
sion caused by the Asiatic plague cpl
demic. A reserve fund has been ac-
cumulated by powerful syndicates OF
Paris bankers with the object OF pur-
chasing Russian bonds which are thrown
on the market, and this maintains prices
at high figures A vigorous squirt Is
noted in copper. Rio Tintos rose ~
points.
Active purchases for investments are
being made in the United States Steel
Corporation. and spectators are dealing
in Canadian Pacifics. Bankers here re-
gard the probability Of the Canadian
reciprocity treaty being adopted as
strong bull factor for all United States
and Canadian securities. The only ex-
ception to the cheerful tone OF the
Bourse is the considerable slump In
Mexican bonds and railway shares.
