The socialists, the manifesto further says, are hopeful that the electorate is coming to its senses, and will not again be scared by the war phantows evoked in 1887, The man ifesto heralds groater activity in socialist agitation, while the reichstag proceedings discourage police interference. This was seen in the marvellous toleration accorded 10 the socialist workmen’s demonstration last evening, when a large number of Work- men, after a meeting, formed a procession and paraded the strects, singing the “Mar- sellaise.” Bismarck will appear in the reichstag on the occasion of the debate on colonial affuirs A hitch has occurred with England over the last Africa blockade agreement. Lord Salis- bury’s statement in the house of lords, that Germany didn't intend to combine her land and sea operations, is in direct variance with the views of the Berlin government. If Bis- marck’s plans are effectual, military action will accompany a blockade of the stations and for some distance The government holds The along the cor in the interior. that a blockade alone would be futile. permanent possession of the coast 1s the only means of suppressing the slave trade, besides onabling the government to termimate the blockade. Prince Henry of Reuss left yesterday and returned to his post at Vienna. He has seen Prince Bismarck, besides having a confer- ence with the emperor. The newspaper row regarding the episode between Prince Henry of Russ and Count Von Taafe has not af- fected the relations between the govern- ments. Prince Henry of Reuss, before leav- ing Berlin, demied that his relations with Count Von Taafe had decreased in cordiality. It is certain that Prince Bismarck would not allow Prince Henry to remam at Vienna if his presence tended to ‘weaken thn alliance between the governments. Nor would Count Kalnoky suffer the existeuce of an Austrian premier who was conducting an intrigue against his foreign policy. Count Von Taafe has the intimate personal confi- dence of Emperor Francis Joseph, of whom he was an_early playmate, and a close friend until Francis Joseph was raised to the throne. He is a supporter of Count Kal- noky’s alliance policy, though he recently admitted a czech representation in the cabi- net owing to nternational necessitics. The newspaper war has disclosed an in- tense Austro-Hungarian jealousy of German supremacy. The Vossiche Zeitung having remarked that Austria-Hungary must be true to the alliance or she wonld cease to ex- ist, the Pesther Lloyd responded that the Austrian empire was not a German depend- ency, and might renounce the alliance, becoming the center of a Franco- Austro-Russian coalition against Ger. many. The controversy is de- plored in official circles here, but it delights the French press and enchants the Russian press into dreaming of animmediate rupture of the alliance. A Warsaw paper yesterday predicted that a combined Russo-Austrian force would yet invade Germany, break up the empire, and place Prussia upon her old level. Happily the discussion is abating. A brief semi- official article in the Frewmdenblatt, which has hitherto been silent on the subject, says that the German government is an entire stranger to the attacks made on Austrian personages in the German press, and never abandoned its attitude of absolute neutrality toward the internal affuirs of other govern ments. Count Szechenyi, Austrian embassador to Germany, who has been enjoying & vacation i Hungary, nas had his leave of absence curtgied in consequence of the newspaper dissensions, He was received in audicuce by Emperor Francis Joseph yesterday, when he was instructed to return to his post. The origin of the dispute is traceable to an article in the Vienna Schwarzgeld. - Public Debt Stateme ‘WasmyGron, Dec. 1.—The following is the public debt statement: Interest bearing debt, principal, $947,008 - 202; interest, W,J».iu.

Cnrcaao, Dec. 1.—At the conclusion of the arguments in the Hronek case to-day Judge Collins at once charged the jury. ‘‘Every prosumption,” said the judge, *'is in favor of the prisoner. If the jury believe that the dynamite came into the possesion of the prisoner prior to the passageof thelaw which passed July 1, 1887, and under which he was indicted, they must bring in a verdict of ac- quittal, They must be satisfied that the pris- oner procured dynamite since the above date with felonious intent to destroy human life in order, to convict.,” . The judge's* charge was quite lengthy, and. its reading occupied fully half an hour, » At ten minutes past 9 the jury retired. At twelve minutes to 10 the announcement was made that the jury had agreed. The attor- n hurriedly ‘returned, the spectators' seats quickly filled up, and the judge took his seat. The prisoner was brought in_and the jury filed in and took their seats. The ver- dict was handed to the clerk of the eourt, who opened the paper and read: “We, the jury, find the prisoner guilty ns charged in the indictment, and fix his punish- ment at twelve yoars in the penitentiary.’’ A friend loaned over to tell Hronek the verdict, but he looked up with s pleusant swile and said: ‘'Ich Vertche,” His face ;)ulrun d no cvidence of disappointment or ear. pteotier of ness — - — A HORSE SHOW.

NO POLICE ALONG THE ROUTE. ighe Outbreak— Paris Slumbered Fitfully Last For Fear of An Robbery of a Rich Amer- ican Lady. Wreaths For the Statue. [Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett. ] Pams, Dee. 1.--[New York Herald Cable pecial to Tug Bree.]—Paris slumbers fitfully to-night, though the government journals encouragoe the public to believe that the military and police precautions taken are sufficient to cope with any form of mob. Disorder at the Baudin demonstration to- morrow is feared, The people are fearful of oan outbreak among the lower classes, as was the case at the funeral of Victor Noir in 1870, The projected celebration, which has been devised by the municipal councily has ws s apparent object, the layiog of @& number of wreaths on the tomb of Baudin, the republican deputy who was shot in 18 while resisting the coup de etat, but its real object is to strengthen its wamng popularity with the people. The Boulaugists thoroughly understand all this, and it is feared that some of the fiercer spirits in the party will precipitate an encounter. General Bou- langer recognizes how seriously a riot, insti- gated by his followers, would damage his cause, and has just sent messuges to all his committces exhorting them to keep their fol- lowers quiet on Sunday. According to the programme arranged a procession will form at the Hotel De Ville and march across the grand boulevard to the exterior boulevards and thence to Mont ‘Martre cemetery, which will be closed. A stathe of B2ndin has been placed before the gytes in the open place, where it will be wreathed and covered with flowers, It is estimated that fully 5),000 men will take part in the procession, und unless they are all prepared 1o respect the egulations laid down by the authorities the whole Parisian poiice force will be ine adequate to control their movements, ‘Ihe wealthy classes are cxtremely nervous at the prospoct. As to the sequel, all depends on the Boulangists, If they do not attempt to make political capital for them: es there is no reason to fear an emuto. All papers to-day contains a strong appeal for order. There will be no police along the route, but all the side streets will be barred by them, in order 10 keep the crowd to the prescribed boulovards., Stringent measures have becn taken to prepare for every emergency. The greator part of the Paris gar- rison is to be confined to the barracks. The Lemp's pubhished the following: We announced six weeks ago that a lady's maid, Anita C., had been arrested at the Hotel Con- tinental, on charge of robbing her mistress, Mrs. S, A, Rich, an American, of 150,000 francs' worth of jowelry. To-day M. Tre- mont, judge d’instructlon, rcleased Anita, There was no charge against her. It was on complaints lodged by Mrs. Rich that she was arrested, ALL ON ACCOUNT OF Langtry Charged With Br the Halr Dressing Busi New Yons, Dec. 1.—[Special Telegram to -A grave accusation has been made against Mrs. Langtry, and Mrs, C, Thomson, once a fashionable Fifth avenue dealer in human hair, is the complainant.
