German Detectives Sent to London to Watch Exiled Anarchists. WARRANT FOR EDWARD DE COBAIN's ARREST— NIWILIST CLUBS IN LONDON—THE KAISER PRE- PARING FOR MIS ENGLISH TRIP—PERSONAL GossiP BY CAPLE. Loxpox, June 29.—A Berlin dispatch says that three of the leading detectives in the Prus- sian goverriment service have gone to London to keep an eyo on the exiled anarchists and so- cinlists in that city during the coming visit of the kaiser and to point out to the English po- lige any who are likely to be troublesome. The mission of the detectives is said to be merely precautionary and that the government has re- ceived no information that would justify fear of any intended insult or injury to the kaiser. Nevertheless it ix known to the police that the German colony in London includes a number of individusls who are wholly anarchical in their tendencies and who are believed capable of abusing the hospitality of England to show their hatred of existing institutions. ‘The German anarchists are #aid to have a se- eret club in east London in which the most dangerous doctrines are discussed and action inst other governments urged, if not de- mined upon. No overt act has, however, yet been proved ngainst these people. ‘The Russian nibiliste alse have a healquarters in ere conspiracies are hatched and neans provided to carry them out. There is a strong under current of eympathy with the nibilists which does not exist for the German anarchists, and the latter would do well if they value their ease not to provoke public attention during the imperial visit. LEFT IN CHARGE OF GERMANY. The kaiser leaves Prince Henry in charge of the empire during his absence. Prince Henry has been well trained to occupy the post of re- gent, either in war or in peace. He is credited with having all the kaiser s exergy without his excentricities. OPPOSED TO THE JESUITS. It is stated that the Grand Duke Frederick of Baden has addressed a momorial to the kaiser energetically opposing the renimission of Jesuits to, Germany. ‘The grand duke is a strong onemy of the Jesuits, whom he banished from his duchy in 1859. His wile being an aunt to the kaiser, the grand duke possesses mu intiuence with the kaiser, which he has always used in behalf of the maintenance of a strictly conservative policy both toward church and state. On the subject of the Jesuits the kaiser is believed to be in perfect harmony with the grand duke. Ps ING AN EYE OX DRESDEN SOCIALISTS. The police of Dresden have received special orders to attend ail meetings in which they | have reason to suspect that any attacks upon th will be uttered and to arrest y person @Milty of disorderly language or of jese mnjeste. While no effort will be made to prevent @ representation of German. socinhsts in the socielist congress in Brussels, @ vigilant isto be kept on, all. who go there, and peakers attacking the German imperial house in their remarks will be cailed to account. WAMRANT FOR EDWARD DE COBAIX. A warrants been issued for thearrest of Mr. Edward de Cobain, member of parliament for t Belfast and Deputy Grand Master of the Orange Institution in Ireland. Mr. de Cobain {with immoral practices. “In reply to an appeal from his friends that he return from Spain, where he is now said to be, and confront Lis accusers, Mr. de Cobain recently wrote: “I do not feel that the Lord pointe ont to me as the path of duty that I suovld meet my ac- cusers und imperil my life and liberty by sw ing against a large uamber of perjured rumians, God's guidance not require that I should make such a sucrifice.” govern TIN PLATE WORKERS ANGRY. The stoppage of the Welsh tin plate works has made the operatives angry. They contend that a cessation of one week per month would answer the same purpose and avert distress. It been decided by the workers to ecnd sixty of their number to America to ascertain the prosp tor profitable employment there. American agents are here buying the latest machinery and offering over double the wages paid on this side of the ocean. JAMAICA NOT EAGER FOR RECIPROCITY WITH US. The Times today gives prominence in its columns to a letter from Sir Henry Arthur Drake, governor and commander-in-chief of the Island of Jamaica, who is at the present moment in this city. "In this communi Sir Henry Blakediastinetly contradicts « Daizicl dispatch dated “ ‘ork, June stating that Jamaica was anxious for reciprocity with the United States, and assert- ing public meetings in order to advocate the reciprocity idea. Gov. Blake adds that he lias cabled to the acting colonial secretary at Jaznaica, who replied to the effect that no auch meetings have Leen held, and he, the governor, ix therefore in a position to say that every Dunlap-Dalzicl agency is untrue. Gov. blake i clusion says that the merchants and peo- Jamal are anxious to extend their y and every direction, but that repared to concede differential duties to the United States. TRAXSF: ‘THE TIN PLATE INDUSTRY. The Times today, referring to the fact that sixty delegates from the tin plate working éis- in order to inquire able emplo; to the prospects of proiit- ere and to the.stateruent | made that 4 agents in London are buy- ing the latest improvements in tin plate es, a8 well ns offering double wages to hould the delegntes report favorably upon the prospects for the tin plate workers in the United States it is not un- fikely that there will be so large an exodus to Aimerica as to lead to a great portion of the trade hitherto monopolized by Wales being transferred to America. Hitherto the idea has becn that it was impossible to manufacture ti plates in America, owing to atmospheric con: bat tin plate makers who apéonpanied ou and Steel Institute delegates to America reported that there was nothing ex- t the want of skilled Inbor to prevent the cessful manufacture of tin plate in America.” NOT INSANE AND MUST DIB. The court of appeals in Copenhagen today confirmed the sentence of death passed upon Philipsen, the soup manufacturer who con- fessed on Apri! 12, 1890, that he had strangled aclerk named Mever (who had been missing , 1800,) and admitted that he rs body to New York packed in y was shipped back from New Yor! Hagen, where it ar- rived on May 14, n Was sentenced May 14, 1891, to *uffer the death penalty, but his lawyers appealed from this sentence on the ground that Philipsen was insane. The court of appeals in confirming the sentence passed upon the murderer also decided that he was not insane. THE KAISER AT HAMBURG. The Emperor and Empress of Germany, ac- companied by Prince Henry of Prussia and the Princess Irene, his wife, arrived at Hamburg today. ‘The imperial party wore received on their arrival by Count Vaidersee and the municipal and military authorities.

Bauriwonz, June 29.—Levi and Joseph Strauss, malsters, have made an assignment for the benefit of creditors. ‘The bond of the assignee is €800,000. The embarrassment of Levi and Joseph Strauss is accepted as an out come of the assignment of Barth & Strauss of two weeks ago. Levi and Joseph are brothers- in-law of Barth & Brothers of the junior mem- ber, Strauss, whose given name is Solomon. Allittle more thane year ago the firm sold out the entire business to the English eyudicate which was buying breweries througiout the country at that time. Mr. Joseph Straus then went with the Darley Park brewery as mana- gez,while his uncle, Mr.Levi Straus, practically Tetired from busincas. Saturday, June 18, the firms of Solomon Straus and Samuel Barth & Co. each made as- signments for the benefit of their creditors, the bond in the former case being for £100,006 and for Barth $60,000. Solomon Straus and ip Straus, Barth's partner, are both sone of Straus and their failures Lave evidently carried their father down with them. As far as could be learned from trustees and creditors today the Strauses, as a tirm and in- dividually, sre involved" to the extent of about 0,000. The large amount of this indebtedness is for indorsements of notes held by banks from Soloman Straus and Barth & Co. The assets of the firm, it is con- fidentially stated by ail concerned, will largely exceed ihe liabilities when they can be realized upon. When the Darley Park Brewery was bought it was paid for partly in stocks and bonds. ‘These stocks naturuily form 2 cousiderable part of the assets, as do ‘also ground rent and real estate owned individually by te members of the firm. The havilities consist principally of negotiable aper indorsed for Soloiaon Straus and Barth Co. They are scattered pretty evenly through all the binks in the city, and some New York banks are alvo involved, though to what extent cannot be learned. No one, however, seems to entertain any doubts but ‘that 100 cente will be paid on the dollar. cot Terrific Explosion an Oil Well.

Discussed Before the Mecting of Local Meth- odist Ministers. MR. PAUL BOWEN PRESENTS THR WRONGS OF TRE LABORING MEN, WHICH HE THINKS SHOULD BE REMEDIED—MR. W. A. CROFFUT BELIEVES MATTERS BETTER THAN IX FORMER YEARS. At the preachers’ meeting of the Methodist ministers at Foundry Church the question of industrial economics and socialism was again taken up. Last week, it will be remembered, ‘Mr. Oyster represgnted the Federation of Labor side of the question and this morning by invitation Mr. Paul Bowen appearedasa Knight of Labor to propose some solution for the pres- ent economic difficulties, while Mr. W. A. Croffat championed the present condition of Affairs so far as competition of labor was con- cerned. Both gentlemen were listened to with great attention, and at the close of the ad- dresses the matter was laid over until the next meeting. ‘MR. PAUL BOWEX's ADDRERS. Mr. Bowen claimed that in ten years the com- mon laborer had increased 80 per cent, while of sicilled laborers there had been only an in- crease of 16 percent. Child and aged labor was supplanting the skilled laborer and many million men who wished to work were lying in chronic idlenoss. The poorest pay was given for the most unhealthy and dangerous labor, while the bighest:pay went for work sur- rounded by heaithy euvironments. What be complained about, said Mr. Bowen, was the un- equal distribution. One man now often pos- sessed haifa dozen residcuces, while twelve other persons were crowded into one small Toom. THE GREATEST mIsERY. The greatest misery arose trom the fact that those who lived a life of constant toil lived also # life of constant fear that even the poor pit- tance they received would be taken from them. dhere was dissatisfaction, undoubted dissutie- tion, and military officers today were planning Bycans for the suppression of not mobs of unarchists, but of disffected laboring men People wero turning from honest labor to the government for special privileges and in the main only twotypes of humanity were being bred—the crafty aud the brutal. All classes of citizens were organizing for the purpose of lobbying and this was so even of the min- isters. ‘There wasa war between capitalists and laborers. Not over the production of wealth, but over its division. Many relicts bad been proposed for this state of aflairs. Charity was one, but Air. Bowen beld that in this regurd charity was w failure. It enabled men to compromise with their conscience by giving back a small portion of their gaius. It also encouraged pauperism. To receive some- thing for nothing, said Mr. Boneu, is the sur- est means of breaking down manhood. CHARITY NOT A SUBSTITUTE FoR JUSTICE. Charity was no substitute for justice. Edu- cation and increased skill had been proposed us remedies, but would equally fail of success. The fault is competition and the fight would be waged Just as bitterly, whatever the uni- versal Condition of éducation amd skill, Economy likewise would fail. A broad spreading nutional economy would be a ne- tional calamity, throwing millions out of em- ployment. All these remedies which had been mentioned, said Mr. Bowen, were virtues, and applied int dividually would be a heip, but applied univer- sally would prove an evil Continuing, Mr. Bowen said the golden rule was a good one, defeated by the but that the golden rule was rule of gold. ‘Ihe remedy for the existing evils, he eaid, was to socialize land and capital | ‘There must be free access to the and. In this rogard a child today was at « dis- advantage compared with the child of thirty years ago, WANTS TAXES ABOLISHED. He did not want lund contiscated, but wanted taxes abol:shed and ground rents appropriated to public uses. All men, he held, had an equal right to the earth. Those who held r ossession of portions of itiud werely a franchise from the people for that portion and sh mn PRY £0 tho peopte the rent for the portion hil erybody either directly or indirectly ; rent und what was neoded was simply that rent should go to the people instead of to private parties.” The plan, he held, would utterly de- stroy all speculation in laud. ure, said Mr. Bowen, was the first and greatest employer. Naturc said come and work for me and take all that is made. The cayizal- ist says work for me and take only enough to keep you alive. If the land were free nature could stand in the open market aud bid against e capitalist employer and wages would be regulated by natules”” oe 4 CO-OPERATIVE COMMOXWEALTH. To organize a co-operative commonwealth was a tremendous affair and he oniy believed in approaching the matter by stages. He thought the government should appropriate all railroad, telegraph and telephone systems and all municipal franchises. ‘These thingeeould be accomplished, Mr. Bowen. Every child today had on its shoulders a $500 railroad bond on which it must pay interest and dividends. Run the railroads in the interest of the people, not for profits, but for expenses, and tue bond on the other hand would belong to the child. ‘The government, said Mr. Bowen, had never gone into any productive enterprise in which it has not sueceeded far better than any pri- vate citizens could. The mail service was cited by the speaker as an instance. Mr. Bowen held that the plans outlined would not result in any loss of individuality, but would allow additional time free from grind ing down occupations for the developisent of individuality Mr. B. H. Warner in a few words advocated the idea that in this matter the example and opinions of practical men should be taken and men who employ labor and make millions only to pour them out in @ constant stream of benefits. ‘MR. W. A. CROFFUT’S REMARKS. Mr. W. A. Croffut was introduced and spoke tosome length. He did not beliove things were going to ruin. He didnot believe the poor were getting ror the rich richer. ings were well today and would be better in the future. “The present economic system of competition he held was the best conceivable. r. Croffut showed by diagrams and figures that wages Lave doubled duting the lastsecte years, while the price of almost everything that men buy bas been reduced que-half in the same length ‘of time. The wage-earner who then got $1.50 a day now gets £3, and 50 cents now buys as much as €1 bought then. Reasoning from analogy, he showed that in thirty years from now (ior the progress uccelerutes) the man who now gets €9 a day will get €0 » duy, gpd things that $1 buys today can be had for the year 1 50 cents THE HAND AND BRAIN. ‘The speaker held that the hand isa trivial factor in production; that men and women are now mostly hired not to work but to think, to superintend capital in the shape of machinery, and that the amount of machinery in the coun- try equaled the combined strength of 200,000,000 men. Ho held that if there was a fixed amount of labor and of property in the country the argument of the restrictioniste would be sound and no man could then honestly make a million dollars, but, as a matter of fact, the amount of and of labor is tremendously flexible and one man like Vanderbilt can earn (that is, create,) a capital al and should have an share of the joint product. ee 4.

Wealthy manufacturers and tions are able to serve the public cheaper than a ee and small and, therefore, large aggregations of capital and the consolidation of corporations are to be encouraged. 8. The menace of want is the mildest stim lus adequate to keep men at work with the en- ergy essential to a tolcrable degree of comfort. Therefore, while poverty will be constantly ameliorated it will never be abolished. 9. All efforts to diminish production, whether by destroying machinery, prohibiting the im- migration of the healthy and industrious poor, opposing and denouncing railroads, preventing boys from learning tades or keeping criminals in enforced idieuessare at war with the welfare of society. a THE CRITIC SALE The Franchise Passes into the Possession of The Evening Star Company. ‘The receiver's sale of the property, rights end franchises of the Washington Critic was held this morning at the office of the now de- fanct paper. Mr. H. E. Davis, the receiver, was present, and the auction was conducted by Mr. C.C. Duncanton. The sale was in accord- ance with the order of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and by order of the court the press and folder were sold separately. The main item included the United Press franchise, a large amount of type, a hand press and other printing paraphernalia and ofice fittings. There were three bidders. ‘The bid- ding was started by Bir. Samuel Maddox at $5,000 and from that figure it rose In two jumps to $7,000 and_in hundred dollar bide to £9,000. Then’ by additional sums of €£0 each time it rose to £10,100, at which point Mr. Maddox dropped cut.’ The outfit, the Umited Press frasczive, type, &c., wus finally bought for €10, 160 for Tim £vextna Scan Newspaper Compan The pross and foider went to Mr. J.
