LATE NEWS BY CABLE Herr Liebknecht Exults Over the In- crease of Social Democrats. a A WIDESPREADING ANARCHIST PLOf. Sensation in Paris Over ‘*Cocarde” Statements. MR. BAYARD PRESENTED. Loxpox, June 22.—The Westminster Gazette publishes an interview this afternoon with Herr Wilbelm Liebknecht, the well-known leader of the German social democratic party, giving ‘views of the recent elections and their effect on the army bill Herr Liebknecht speaks exult- antly upon the success of the social democrats and the large accessions that have been ma: but the major part of the interview is devoted to the army bill, of which Herr Liebknecht is a steadfast opponent. He says that the passage of the bill will to some extent be favorable to the social democrats in that it will make the conditions more bearable than those at present prevailing. It will cause discontent to spread und thus give his party a weapon which they will use to the utmost of their ability. Continuing, Herr Liebknecht says: “We will continue -to oppose the existing system will aim to substitute in its stead the establish- ment of a militia -system similar to that which obtaifs in Switzerland. This system would not cost half the money that the proposed increase of the army would cost. Within a few years after its adoption we would have a defensive force of 8,500,000 men. Offensive warfare | would be impossible. Social democrats are far from desiring to weaken the defenses of Ge many; on the contrary, they wish to strengthen the | “Nobody,” Herr Liebknecht added, “‘can | foretell the future of German politics.

An Anarchirt Plot Embracing Men in Sev. | eral European Countries. | Maperp, June 22.—The official investigation | into the bomb explosion at the residence of Senor Cancvas del Castillo at midnight Tuesday has led to the discovery of a plot that embraces anarchists in several European countries. The popular excitement caused by the charge has | died out in a great measure. The officials are still endeavoring to ascertain the names of all those implicated in the affair. Twenty-three arrests have altsady been made and more are expected to foliow shortly. ‘Phe police are still prewing Suarez, the man who was badly injured by the explosion and who was captured before he could make his escape, to divulge the details of the plot. He has already made admissions, showing that the conspiraey had wide ramificatiou. He has told the police the name of the man who was seen with him near the residence of Senor Cas- | tello previous to the explosion, but who disap- fared just before the explosion occurred. The third man of the party seen, it will be re- called, was blown to pieces. ‘Among the other things Suarez has told ia that he and several of his comrades were the anthors of the explosion that occurred on Juue 12th in the Plaza Oriental, directly in front of the left wing of the royal pulace. He savs that their only object in causing this explosion was to frighten the bourgeoisie and to remind them of the existence of anarchism. ‘ The letters seized show that the conspiracy unearthed in this city was international in its character. These letters cover the details of plans far the commission of dynamite outrages, not only in Madrid, but in Brussels and other foreign cities. ‘The supposition based upon letters found in the clothing of the man kilied by the explosion yhat the dead man was the well-known anarch- ist, Ernesto Alvarez, has proved to be incorrect. ‘The prisoner has confeesed that the dead man was named Ruiz. Once the police knew that Alvarez was not dead a seareh was made for him, and if found he will be taken into eustody. LATEST PARISIAN SENSATION. Curiosity te Know Who Are Accused of ‘Treason. Panis, June 22.—The story published by the Cocarde, a Boulangist organ, to the effect that one of its representatives had purlomed from the British embassy in Paris papers showing ‘that certain well-known Frenchmen hud been engaged in treasonable schemes against the French republic, hascaused widespread curiosity as to the names of the men accused and the | exact nature of the charge against them. ‘All the newspapers concur today in demand- ing that a fuli explanation of the story be made at once. M. Millevoye, the Boulangist deputy, and his colleagues, who claim to know the contents of the documents, and who bad an interview yes terday with M. Dypuy, the prime minister, and nection with the Cocarde’ the ministers refused to take official cognizance of them as they were requested to do by their visitors.

MK. PHELPS BEGINS. Ambassador Eustis at Today's Session of the Bering Sea Tribunal. | Panis, June 22.—A large number of visitors were present today at the session of the Bering | sea tribunal of arbitration. Among those who listened to the proceedings was Mr. James B. Eustis, American ambassador to France. Mr. E. J. Phelps of counsel for the United States opened his argument on behalf of the contention of the United States and bis address was a brilliant one. He said that the case presented only two questions—have the Canadians and ‘the rene- gade Americans under the shelter of the | British tlag the right to defy the laws of their own country the right to continue destroying the seal species, and if so what regulations are | necessary to prevent the extermination of the seals? | "Other questions micht be mentioned, but | ther were. merely incidental. America, he a | mitted, claims that the indiscriminate destrue- tion of the seals, including the slaughter of the gravid animals proceeding toward the Pribsloff Islands, and the grounds of the mothers seeking food at sea, is inbuman, bar- parous and a violation of the laws of ali civil- of the documents, and declined to take charge | traveled on the train with Ambassador Bayard | | | | | | follows: Exchanges, |= I | Steed te 1893—TEN PAGES. ized nations for the protection of wild anima’s in their breeding season. Such slaughter, he contended, must eventos ally result in extinguishing a valuable industry established for nearly » century by Russia and maintained by America since the cession of Alaska to the United States by the Russian | government. | “The British claimed the right to extermi- nate the species for the sake of a small tem- porary profit. They did not meet the question to whether the right exists, but exhausted the resources of the ablest advocacy to evade it. The British counsel approached the question in every direction except a straight forward one. They pretended to inquire whether the United States were justified in seizing British vessels engaged in pelagic seal hunting. Mr Phelps declared that there was no such question before the tribunal. ‘The arbitrators were not concerned in the question of past seizures, except an to the finding of the necer- sary facts on which to base future negotiations. Counsel having agreed upon the facts the tribunal ought to dismiss the matter of the seizures. In Behalf of the Condemned Armenians. Loxpox. June 22.—A meeting of the friends of the Armenian Christians was heid in this city today and a number of speeches were made, denouncing the action of the Turkish officials at Angora in sentencing seventeen Armenian Christians to death on the charge that they had taken part in the seditious riot- ing that occurred at Cesera and Mursova last pring. Action was taken by the meeting look- ing to securing the release of the condemned men. IN WALL STREET TODAY. An End to the Gold (mporting Movement Reached. New Yorx, June 22.—The changes in stocks at the opening were merely fractional either way. Cordage common declined 3; per cent to 15, but no transactions were reported in the preferred. Lackawanna was exceptionally strong and rose 2 to 14734 on hgt trauing. Speculation at the stock exchange was extremely dull and very irregular during the first hour of business, The only changes worthy of mention were breaks of 2%4a3 in Manba‘tan, cordage and American tobacco to 1288; 123¢'and 57, respectively. Distillers rose 13g to 24. The variations otherwise were slight. Trad- ing is checked by the cut in rates made by the Great Northern, the bank failures on the Pa- cific coast and the advance in sterling exchange to $4.84 and @486. The rise in sterling ex- change pute an end to the gold import move- ment.

Left Their Seats, HIS OWN CONVICTIONS. Sprixerierp, Mass., June 22.—Ex-Gov. Robinson returned to his home in Chicopo last evening somewhat fatigued after his arduous duties as counsel in the Borden trial. In conversation upon that subject he said: “The verdict in the Borden case is a righteous one. Ihave had but one opinion since I first talked with Miss Borden, and that is that she is innocent of the crime. I have seen her a great many times, too. and sbe w: ery near to me. I think the verdict rendered not only right because there was not sufficient evidence for anything different, but the evidence proved her innocent and the judge so believed. hy, the jury had made up their minds and were ready to render a verdict before they left their seats, But they thought it would not be ontirely within the bounds of propriety unless they retired, and they did so. “During ‘the trial Misa Borden received about fifty letters a day and a great profusion of flowers. Her room literally banked with such tributes from friends all over the country. ‘The missives contained largely words of sym- pathy aud good cheer. “The touching scene in the New Bedford court house will never fade from my mind. Such ascene there probably never was nor never will be in a court of justice. I was equally impressed, too, to see the crowds, women among the rest, ‘surround her as she wns about to enter her carriage and offer such | words of good will. “An entirely wrong impression has gone out about her, as to her demeanor and personality. She is an intelligent, womanly woman aud con- ducted herself with great propriaty all through a 5 “Miss Lizzie has said to mo that the Borden murders were as much of a mystery to her as to any one else. I can only account for the widespread dif- ference of opinion among tae people of the country as to her innocence or guilt in this way: fore the trial there were all sorts of con- clusions formed, based on anything but the evidence in the case. “During the trial it is a fact that I received about fifty letters from cranks confessing the Borden murder.” a ees COULDN'T REALIZE ON SECURITIES.

From the Hospital. ‘Mere walking exercise, although it is invalu- able, hardly fulfills the idea of perfect recren- tion, Sir James Paget says ‘good, active recreations” ought to include “uncertainties, wonders and opportunities for the exercise of skill in something different from the regular work.” The present writer is always longing for cricket in the summer and foot ball or hockey in the winter and spring. But he can- not finda man anywhere above forty years of age who will agree with him. Why should the literary man, the doctor and the stock broker or the merchant not play cricket after forty- five? What is to become'of hie dinner hour? is itasked. If a better luncheon were taken at mid- day ands lighter dinner at 6 in the evening there is no reason wlitatever why a man of forty-five, and up to sixty-five or seventy, should not be in the cricket field at 7:30 and play briskly until 9 or 9:30. An hour and a-half at cricket after a light dinner would make mid- dle-aged men #o young that they would not know themselves. Writers would write twice as brilliantly, and business men would be clev- erer and keoner by half. Asit is, the average middle-aged Englishman of the professional and’ business classes grows fatter, wheezicr, more pompous and more dull and uninteresting every year of his life. To gets langh out of him’ is impossible; to crack a joke at his ex- Pense it to commit the unpardonablesin. “Poor old porpoive.” as somebody harcalled him. His innocent pleasures have vanished with his ‘outh, dnd “the has nothing now left to live for rut his respectability, his solemn respectability and his money bags. The contrast between the youthful Englirh- man and his middle-aged parent is sometimes startling. ‘The former is all life and fun; the Intter is a moving mountain of ponderosity and fat. It is ali for want of outdoor exercise and recreation. Twenty-five years ago the solemn | father of ‘today was the fun-loving son of a middle-aged father.

From the Paducah News. Should the little daughter of Mr. Calissi ever recover, she owes her life to an Italian violinist in the city. Suffering as sho in with brain fever, and the doctors giving up all hope of her regovery, this morning she xpoke the first word and ate the first morrel sho has for several | dave. A friend of Mr. Calissi, an Italian, | visited the sick child and remarked, had he known her condition a day or two ago, he could certainly have eaved her. However, he was willing to try it, and going out, he brought in a number of spring chickens.’ Taking a live chicken, he split open {ts back with a knife, opened it wide and placed the inside of the chicken, entrails, blood and all, over the child's head. As soon as the chicken began to got coid he would open another and place it on in the same manner. About the time the second | terward asked for something toeat. So far twenty-two chicken have been used, and at the hour of going to presa the child was doing splendidly. What effect the warmth of the chicken and vitals had upon the child’s head the writer cannot tell, but, should tho child fully recover, the Italian professor wants the credit.

Referring to the recent order of the German emperor with regard to the dandified irregu- larities which had become common in the Ger- man army, a correspondent at Berlin calls our attention to the fact that the kaiser himself is no: altogether free from affectation of this kind, inasmuch as he himself sets the fashion | of “bangle” wearing.

Some Questions in Regard to Liquor Licenses Answered. THE ATTORNEY’S OPINION. 7 Interrogatories Propounded by the Assessor Categorically Keplied To—Letter as to the Ringing of the Gongs on the Cable Cars—Other Matters of ‘aterest. Several days ago the assessor for the District | submitted to the Commissioners the following question: Shall money collected from liquor | dealers, both wholesale and retail. who are al- | ready in fioseession of licenses the year ending October 31, | for | 1893, be) piring October 31, 188%, which they were | owners? Will the licenses so expiring be recog- nized by the exeise board as valid for transfer of location? If so, will a transfer fee be re- quired, as provided in section 7 of the act of March 8, 1893’ These questions were submit- ted to Attorney Thomas, and he reports thereon today as follows: “Referring to» communication from the as- sessor of the District to your board under date of the 18th instant, calling attention to the de- cision of the Court of Appeals in the case of the District of Columbia aguinst Busch, and submitting for question, viz: Shall" the money collected from’ liquor dealers | (both’ wholesale and retail) who are al- ready in ion of licenses for the year ending October 31, 1893, be refunded? 2.

Ifo, will a transfer fee be required as pro- vided in section 7 of the act of March 3, 1899? which was referred to the attorney of the District tor his opinion. In answer to the first. question submitted by the assessor my opinion ix, the money collected from liquor | dealers since March 8, 1893, both wholesale and retail, who on March 3, 1898, held Ticenses ending on the Sint of | October next, should be refunded to them. | In answer to. the assessor's second question, my opinion is that those liquor dealers who have licenses under the old system and who are re~ uired to surrende- them are entitled to have em returned. In reply to the assessor's third question, my opinion is that old | licenses expiring October 31 should be | recognized by the Commissioners as valid both for transfer of ownership and ioca- tion, Inanswer to the assessor's fourth ques- tion my opinion is that the transfer re- quired by ecotion 7 of the act of March 3, 1893, joes not apply toa license issued under the old system, but only toa license issued by the excise board.

Apropos of the complaint of Mrs, Elizabeth Penn against the ringing of the gongs of the | grip cars at the corner of 14th and H street: northwest the Commissioners today received | the following letter from the president of the | Washington and Georgetown railroad on the | subject: “Your communication in regard to letter of | Mrs. Elizabeth Penn, complaining of the ring- ing of the gonge by the gripmen of this com- pany at the junction and crossing of the Metro- politar railway tracks at 14th and H streets | northwest is duly to hand, also remarks of Lieut. T. B. Amis and Chief of Police Maj. In reply I would eny that this company is now obering’the rules and regulations, as laid | down by the Commissioners, in regard to ring- ing of gongs at all crossings of intersecting roads. If the Commissiouers deem it wise | to modify the rules, as now being) carried out by this company, and order | that no gongs shall be rung at these crossings, | the company will obey the rules as so modified; but unless the Commissioners will take the re- | sponsibility of ordering this company to dis- | continue the ringing of the alarm gong at the crossings of all intersecting roads the compauy will continue to use the alarm, as now directed by the police regulations.

THE ASSESSMENT 18 VALID. Attorney Thomas holds, in an opinion ren- dered to the Commissioners today, that the as- sessment against the abutting property for lay- ing the water main on Whitney avenue is valid. This opinion was called forth by a protest from the proverty owners along Whitney avenue, who claimed that Whit- ney avenue was nota public highway and that in question was not petitioned y of the property owners along Attorney Thomas holds that it ix in view of section 204 of the Revised Statutes, which empowers to lay ‘ater mains wherever in their judgment it is necessary for the public safety and comfort, whether Whitney a east of 7th street ex- tended to Soldior’ Home gate ix or is not a public highway, or whether the main was laia in front of square or line of squares. WANT MORE POLICE PROTECTION. Alarge petition, bearing the signatures of a number of the reridents and property owners in the subdivisions of Long Meadows and Isherwood, in the northeast section the city, was received by the Commirsioners today, requesting additional protection in the matter of more police. The petition sets forth that the Sabbath isa day of drunkenness and immorality so revolting to one possessing the least sense of redinement that the tenants and property wners feel that if there is no other relief they must desert their homes and property. Some of those most conspicu- ‘ous in these carousais boast of their power to do as they please, claiming that they will con- tinue this control and defy any interference. In the face of these facts, and believing that the Commissioners will support them in_ all legal efforts for higher morals and good order, they beg that this custom of ball playing. ity be broken up.

MORE PAPERS, Mr. Church then presented another paper which he said purported to be a petition in the name of the American Bell Telephone Com- 1y by its attorney, W. W. Swan, asking fora eopr of the decisions rendered in the public hearing in the case of Daniel Drawbaugh, filed ‘February, 1884. | The application was nted by the indorsement o! Mr. Simonds, ted February 20, 1893. Mr. Magruder then went on, as he had done with the first paper, to explain the meaning of the various indorse- ments, In answer to a question from Mr. Pay. son he said that there was nothing in the in dorsements that was irregular or inconsistent with the metnods of the office. Mr. Church then brought out a petition sub- | mitted by the American Bell Telephone Com- pany, by its attorney, sworn to February 18, 1895, and requesting that the petitioners be permitted to inspect and secure copi of « division of an application of Daniel Draw- Dangh. filed 1884. the enme being a division of the eame filed by Drawbaugh in 1880. The pe- tition was indorsed on the back by Mr. Simonds that it was not the custom of the office to grant such requests, and therefore it was refused. Mr. Magruder said that there was nothing to show that any such copies ax those requested had ever been furnished. There was nothing on the paper to show that the paper bad ever gone to Mr. Emory, the usual destination of such papers, and the witness exid he presumed that through soms inadvertence the bad been sont to the wrong division, Hke letter was indorsed as answered by the commis- sioner. MR. PAYSON ENTERS LETTERS. ‘Mr. Payson then introduced the letter in an- swer to the request and stated that it was writ- ten by Miss Shedd and signed by the commis- sioner. Mr. Magruder said that if the letter was 60, |. then the indorsement on the back of the petition was correct, and in order to put the letter on record it was puton file with division A, the chief clerk's division. Mr. Church then produced another for copies of decisions in applications of Draw- baugh, and for the file wrapper and te of application serial 126, 128, &c., include tracing drawing, and charging costs to the American Tell Yelephone Company. Tn thie case, also, the witness was to the indorsements on the beck — ‘At this point Mr. Payson raised an objection to seve time, protesting against this same course being followed every times paper was presented. Mr. Seymour decided the objection and said that they would dispense with the ex unless there was something unusual or extra- ordinary about the indorsements. MORE BELL PETITIONS. ‘The next petition prevented by Mr. Church ‘was one indorsed “to inspect and obtain copies,”’ &c., and wassworn to by the American Bell Telephone Company, by its attorney. February 18, 1893. ‘This petition was granted by the as- sistant commissioner, N. L. Frothingham, and the copies were furnished, the cost, 14.75, being charged to the company’s account. ‘Other papers more or lees similar to those already presented and differing only in dates and minutie wore submitted by Mr. Church and went through the same course. Mr. Ma- grader said that there was nothing irregular about the indorsements, and there was no reason to suppose that Mr. Simonds had ever seen the papers. This closed his testimony. MR. DARBY TESTIFIES. 8. E. Darby was next called and sworn, He 1s a second assistant examiner and acting chief clerk since May 18, Had been im the office since 1886 and prior to being assigned to duty as chief clerk was in the — interfer- ence division. He was directed by the | commissioner to cause an investigation to be made of ali the papers in the case. He had done eo, and bad transmitted the resulte in writing to the commissioner. ‘At this point a recess was taken for half an | hour in order to procure all these papers, and, Neldentally, for the purpose of getting luneb- eon. MR. DARBY CONTINUES. After the recess Mr. Darby took the stand again and submitted the reports he had re- ceived from the chiefs of the two divisions where such papers were kept. He himself had made a written report upon a request from Foster & Freeman for certified copies of Drambangh's applications from August, 1530, down to 1893. The commissioner's request to him to make an investigation into all orders deposited by the Bell Telephone Company, Mr. Swan or Foster & Freeman came in the form of a direction from the commissioner to 1 the orders of Messrs. Foster & reeman. He took part in the collection of there orders for copies. The only written report he made was one transmitting the reports of the two division chiefs. Did not personaily collect the orders of the Bell com- ny excepting one. This paper was « petition rom the Beil company, and was filed in the records of the chief clerk. This was not the usual place for papers of this class. This last answer was excluded on the objec tion made by the attorneys that he had not been in office long enough to know what the uenal custom was in such matters, CAPT. LORD. Capt. T. W. Lord, chief of the assignment division, was next called to the witness stand. He was questioned as toaletter dated April to report whether any applications of Daniel Drawbaugh had been given out; if so, to whom He his report and told to what sources‘in the office he bad gone to secure the facts incorporated in the report. A short recess was taken while Capt. Lord went for the mail book of his divis- ion to procure the record of letiers received | and sent in the matter. Capt. Lord stated that there was an oral order from the assistant commissioner to se- cure the desired information for him. There was no formal written order, but simply « fragmentary memoranda, and he did.make the investigation, He was asked by Mr. Church what orders for copies of applications of the Drawbaugh pat- ents were wade by the Bell company, Foster & Freeman or W. W. Swan, or made by Mr. Si- monds since January 1." He said that he knew nothing beyond what was contained in the re- ports, ashe had gone over the ground very carefully. Capt. Lord was asked to point out from the records whut orders were receited whd filled or filed for Drawbaugh applications or other Drawbaugh papers. Mr. Willson entered a protest to any inquir- ies being made with reference to any papers or matters not specifically referred to in the original charges of Messrs. Church & Church. Capt. Lord was then asked by thoy micsionet whether any applications of Drawbaugh bad Veen furnished any one between Jancary 1 and April 15, Mr. Seymozr excluded the answer because he held that it did not directly answer / ‘the question. PORTER BUYERS. Capt Lord said that a petition of the Bell telephone for copies of a Drawbaugh applica- | tion dated July 26, 1880, was granted by Mr. February, 1899. order for Drawbaugh applications was the first order filed in the record book. pt. Lord was then asked to state from any record he migitt have what was the first order for a Drawbaugh application filed or filled examination of the letter record book, and after meking this be stated that the order already referred to was the first cone that be could find recorded. The record did not show whether the order had been filled or not. The columns in the book marked “active” and “account” showed no record, but this simply meant that the letter had been loaned and not checked off. The book would not show any record of final ection anvil the letter had been checked of, Witness held a charge against the assistant commissioner for that letter filed away in is desk. Capt. Lord said that the original letter or order bad an endorsement on it that ebowed that it had beeu filed. This letter bas not been finally put away, but «nce March 2. when the application was furnisied he couid nit tell where the letter has been, For some time past the letter has been in the possession of the commissioner or the assistant commis- sioner. Mr. Church said that prior to April 18, so far as they knew, there had been no investiga- tion on foot, and he desired to know where the letter had been between Murch 2 and April 18. Capt. Lord said be was unable to answer the question. RY OF AN ORDER. Capt. Lord then opened the record book, en- titled “orders for applications receiver,” and read from it the history of the order in question from the Bell Telephone Co, and which was numbered 4343.
