WHAT THE FUTURE MAY BRING FORTH If the Current of Events is Not Furned the Time Will Come When the People Will Rise—Alms of the Socialists. [Copyrighted 189 by James Gordon Bennstt) Bruus, April New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee]—There is w great deal of humsn nature in Paul Singer. who 1 have just iuterviewed. Heis not a fisming, flarng social democrat, but guite the reverse. He is 8 philosopher. Singer would make & poor martyr. He would resent being asked to glve up for. any ciuse. He would not he were asked to sucrifice his liberts Hud be* come into the world twenty vears earlier vou might have found him now holding us prominent s place in the ranis of the bourgeoise as that he occupies intue groat urmy of socialists in France, whick suggests both strewduess and skepti Heis not bard to read. Iuo the past he has beon 8 prosperous man, and hus enjoyed life He has not llowed socialistic events i stund too much in the way of his taste for socinbility. Most of us would find it much easier 10 get on with the practical gentlen like Singer thau with au eutbusiast of Bebel's stamp. They tell me he is lite rejoice if rich. I asked s man who knows him well why, besng rica’ he bad joined tue sociuhsts, *‘He soys itis the only safe party for & man of menus 10 beloug to nowaduye,” was the auswer. Herr Singer struck me &s a sousible, prac t1~al, uncommonly modera gentlemun. With Bopel and Liebuicht Singer stands ot the houd of the German socialists. Uutil bis temporary expulcion from Berlin in 1556 he was & partuer in a large manufacturing firm. O lute he has given up business and Las de voted mimself to politicul aud municipal duties. His apartments on the ground floor in the Linderstrasse are furnisbed simply but comfortal lis study is o small, glaowy room looking onto n courtyard and is well supplied with books, His cigurs are ex cellent. #J bave called,” said T when we had ex- chanced courtesies, *4in hops that you wili clear u} one or two points which your friena Bebel left obscure in his talks with me.

No aoubt he kuew thut it was not possible to give o precise reply. Tne future dc pends on circumstances. We caunot pledgs posterity. In twenty years people will care very little for opiuions or plans which 1 might unfold to you today Tney will bave their own views. But ssa matter of fact, 1 dou’t believe that there is any likelitood of our ever obiaining & par lismentary mujority. The bourgeoise, of which the existing government is virtually the expression, would wnot sllow it So soon @s the bourgeoise found 1hat we have become & menace totheir power in Parliament, they would try to checkmate us. 1 anticipate that one of the first things they would do would be o restrict the suf frage in some way or otber—not, of course, bluntly. Plainly, they would get rio of umversal suffrage. 1 do not mean that they would venture 1o sbolish it off hand. That would be iwpossible. But they would hedge the Tight of voting with limitations apd couditinus 80 that the elocto ral power of the working men would be, if not gestroyed, much lessened. The Bour- geoise are quite alive to the importance of the socialist movement. Ther kuow that the struggle between themseives uud the musses is & watter of life or deaih, and they will use every mesus 10 &void destruction. 1t would be 1die denying that. having the material powor in their bunds, the army and the police at their orders, they muy make & strong fHight for existence.

TOUGH EXPERIENCE OF THE PRISONERS They Completed Assert That Preparations Had Been for a Dash When Troops Arrived, at the Line of Rustiers the Dovoras, Wro., April 23.—[Special Tels gram to Tue Bee, |—This afternooo & column of cavalry filed down the hill leading to the old military bridge at old Fort Fetterman. Troop C headed the procession, troop D brought up the rear, while troop H roae on eitber flank of the captured cattlemen, who occupied the center of the cavaicade. Three wagone and surgeons’ ambulance followed. For the first time since the abandonment of this historical militars outpost the surround ing hills raag with the notes of mulitary bucles us the troopers unsaddled their jaded unimals und made camp on the bauks of the Platte, Major Fetchet, who was in charge of the expedition, had tapped the Buffalo wire &t Brown Springs last night aud arranged with Major Egbert, who is in charge of the ae- tachment from Fort Russell, to deliver his prisoners at this point and while the bulk of his command busied themselves wiith camp matters the balance stood guard to complete the work for which they hud come—the de Livery of the captives. About the same time Major Petchet and party crossed the Platte at Fort Fettormun Major Egbert left Douglas on a special train with a detail of about f men and & few representatives of the press and prominent citizens.

Everything in Good Orde: Ou arnving et Forl Fetterman the pris- oners closely guarded were escorted to the train, where ecuch man unsaddled the animal he was riging and placed the same, together with blunkets and ‘‘war sacks,” the luggage car. While this was in pro gress mounted troopers guarded both sides of the train under the direction of Major Wolcott, the lemder of the cattiemen’s expedition. The captives were then drawn up in line, and as each man answered o his name he was assigned o cars in Waiting.
