BEIIUS , April 23. | Now York Herald
Cnblo Special to THE Bnu. ] There la u
prcat deal of human nnluro in Paul Singer ,
who 1 have just interviewed. He is not a
flaming , flaring social democrat , but quite
the reverse. Ho is n philosopher. Singer
would make n paormvtyr. Ho would resent
bring uskod to give up llfo for- any
ojuso. He would not rejoice if bo
wore asked to sacrifice his liberty.
Hud he * come into the world twenty
years earlier you might have found him now
holding tit , prominent a place in tbo rar.Ks of
the bourgeoiae as thut bo occupies in the
great urmy of socialists in France , which
suggests both shrewdness and skepticism.
Ho is not hard to read. In the past be has
been u prosperous man , and bus enjoyed life.
Ho has not allowed socialistic events to
Btund too much in the wny of his taste for
sociability. Most ot us would find It much
easier to got on with the practical gentleman
like Singer than with uu enthusiast of
Bebel's stamp.
They tell me he is rich. I nsked a man
who knows him well why , busng rich' ho had
JDined the socialists. "Ho says it is the only
safe narty for a man of menus to belong to
nowadays , " wns the answer.
Hurr Singer struck mo as n sensible , prac-
* s ti-al , uncommonly modern gentleman. With
BJOC ! und Liebuicht Singer bluuds at the
h.Micl of the Gorman socialists. Until his
temporary expulsion from Berlin in ISSfl he
was u partner iu a large manufacturing firm.
Of late he has given up business uud has de
voted himself to political and municipal
duties. His apartments on the ground floor
in the Lindcrstrassc are furnished simply
but comfortably. ' His study is a small ,
gloomy room looking onto a courtvcrd und is
well supplied with books. His cigars are excellent

f What They Would Have.
d , " said I when wo had ex-
courtesies , "in bops that you will
dear uj. one or two points which your friend
Bcbel'lcf : obscure in his talks-with me. Sup
pose , for tbo sake of argument , that the so
cial democrats had a majority in the German
Parliaments , or in the country , what would
they do with It ! "
"I can quite understand , " said Singer ,
"that a. practical people like the Americans
should put that question , hut 1 can also un
derstand why Bcbel did not answer it. No
doubt ho knew thut it was not possible to
give a precise rrply. Tne future de
pends on circumstances.Ve cannot
pledge posterity. In twenty years
people will care very little for opinions or
plans which I might unfold to you today.
They will have their own views. But as u
matter of fact , I don't believe that there is
uny likelihood of our ever obtaining n par
liamentary majority. The bourgeoise , of
which the existing government is virtually
the expression , would not allow it.
So soon as the bourccoiso found
that we have become a menace to their power
iu Parliament , they would try to checkmate
us. 1 anticipate that ono of the first tbiugs
thny would do would ho to restrict the suf
frage in some way or other not , of course ,
bluntly. Plainly , they would get ria of
universal suffrage. I do not mean that
they would vnnture to abolish it
off hand. That would bo Impossible. But
they would hedge the right of voting with
limitations und coudltlaus so that tun electo
ral power of the working men would be , if
not destroyed , much lessened. The Bour-
geobo are quite nlire to the importance of
the socialist movement , They know that
the struggle between themselves und the
masses is a mutter of life or death , and they
will use every means to avoid destruction.
It would bo idle denying that , having the
material power in their hands , tbo army und
the police at their ardors , they inuy make u
strong fight for existence.
Nr Maulers Ciiinlnc : Iu.
"Their mission In the world has been
accomplished in the 100 years which have
pone by since the French revolution mudo
them masters. In their turn tboy will have
to give wuy to new masters the democracy.
That they will try to save themselves , how
ever that they will try to got rid of uni
versal suffrage is , 1 repeat , more than proba
ble. That may mean revolution. Even if
wo bad an electoral majority in tbo
country , would that fact necessarily
Imply that wo should bo able to bring about
the changes nt which we nin.7 All cannot
pot over this other fact that the bourgeolse
tulght still control the army and the police.
We trust most to tbo natural development of
the economical situation , which by the
gradual concentration of wealth and indus
trial machinery in the bands of the few is
tteadlly alienating and impoverishing the
many.
"The mo'Jeru tendency of things is as you
Vnow to suppress small industries cud re-
jilace them by lurce industries , and to bind
together thos-j lurpcr enterprises in rings
end trusts. In the course of time these will
be completely vented in & small number nf
bucu syndicates , so that the people will bo
practically crged out. Then wo shall see B
reaction.
Cannot Itest on lluynneti.
"Another point should bo remembered.
The present military system is & two-edged
weapon. U forces all kind * of mon into the
ranks , socialists uud unnsoclulists. The
spread of social democracy among the troops
tbu * becomes intelligible , it may easily
come 10 pass some day thut when the Bour-
eoaise call upon their own creature , the
army , to defend thorn , they may get no re
sponse. As a Frenchman once observed ,
'You can do many things with bayonets , but
you cannot rest on them1 fen ne pent pus
tasseqlr sur Qes bayonettes' ) .
"The condition of the Gorman working
clssscs is pitiable indeed. It has never been
snore to. How pllUble 11 it you limy guess
when I toll you that in Saxony , which 1s n
great manufacturing state , statistics show
that 70 per cent of the working men earn
lo&s than CUO raurkj per annum , borclv $ iriO.
TaKing one branch trade with another , vou
nav set down the svcrape weekly wages ol
the German working man ut something loss
than IfiO marks , f-3.50. This is not enough
for him to live on , however moderate he is ,
consequently he Is obliged to make bis wife
and children work to okc out ther existence.
H is only fair to add though that we have
boon pasitng through unprecedented in
dustrial crises In Germany. Five years ago
the coat of living was not so high , at all
events in Berlin , as it. has since became tbc
worklngmnn may have earned a trifle more
than at present.
Their Plan In llrlef ,
"Having given my views on the probability
of our securing a msjority , I will try to an
swer your question , what would wo do if we
had one ! 1 shall not go into details , for as I
have already stated , oar successors will shape
their course without much regard for their
forerunners and will be guided by circum
stances. Roughly , what wo aim nt is the
realization of a means of industrial produc
tion , the abolition of individual capitalists
and the substitution of ono great producing
organization. This plan wo bolicvo to be
within the bounds of practical politics. As
to resorting to violence , tbo very thought ol
such thing will be absurd. Riots and explo
sions would bo mere invitations to the Bour-
goolse to restrict our rights , to repress our
action , to destroy our liberty. There may bo
n tew disturbances hero and there , but they
will have no general significance. Thov will
not be preconcerted by the social democrats
as n party.
' Lastly , " said Singer , rofforlng to a re
mark of mine , "we believe in patriotism in
one sense. We know that men and women
born In certain countries , brought up and
educated in those countries , will necessarily
have local attachments and will ri .e in de
fense of their homes is attacked by strangers.
But wo do not bsiievo in nggraisivo patriot
ism. In waging unjust war on our nclchbors
or in stirring up strife in other countries.
With these things uil huvo no sympathy. "

of cavalry filed down the bill leading to the
old military bridge ut old Fort Fettcrinnn.
Troop C headed the procession , troop D
brought up the roar , \vhiln troop H roae on
citber flank of the captured cattleman , who
occupied the center of the cavalcade. Three
wagons and surgeons' ambulance followed.
For the lirst time since the uhaudoumeut ol
this historical military outpost the surround
ing hills rujg with the notes of military
bucles as the troopers unsaddled th < ? lr jaded
animals and made camp on the bunks of tbo
Platte.
Major Fotchet , who was in charge of the
expedition , had tapped the Buffalo wire at
Brown Springs last night and arranged with
Major Egbert , who is in charge of the de
tachment from Fort Russell , to deliver his
prisoners at this point and while the built of
his command busied themselves with camp
mutters tlia balance stood guard to complete
the work for which they had como the de
livery of the captives. About the same time
Major Fetchot and party crossed the Platte
at Fort Fottormau Major Egbert loft Douglas
on a special train with a detail of about fifty
men and B few representatives of the pros ?
and prominent citizens. Half the population
here asked for transportation which being
denied , many tooic carriages and saddle
horses and sot out for the scene of the truus-
ler of the captives.
UvrrytluiiK In Good Order.
On arriving at Fort Fettermun the pris
oners closely guarded were escorted to the
train , where ouch man unsaddled tne
animal ho was riding and placed the same ,
together with hlauUots and "war sacks , ' ' in
the luggage car. While this was in pro
gress mounted troopers guarded both sides
of the train under tno direction of Major
\Volcott , the lender of the cattlemen's
expedition. The captives were then drawn
up in line , and as each man answered to tils
name lie was assigned to cars in waiting.
The list tallied to a man forty-five in till
for whom "MnJor'Eirbert- upon signed
a receipt. Tno prisoners all seemed in the
best of spirits , laughing and joking with
friends uud acquaintances in the crowd of
sight seers and with each other. Many of
them were old friends of most ol the
ofllcers of the Seventeen , who were to
escort them south and receive a warm
erecting at their hands. All looked hale
and hearty , but decidedly weatherworn ,
the storms of the past few days having
blistered their laues almost beyond recogni
tion.
tion.As
As the train started for Douglas the party
of cowboys who had witnessed the procesd-
ings pulled their six shooters and fired a
volley into the air.
"That's a familiar opera boys , isn't it ? "
cried Major Wolcott. "We've heard lots of
that sort of music during the part two
weeks. "
Their SuIIerliiKi. In the Ull/ruril.
His companions laughed and greeted the
volley and the major's response w > th cheers.
All unite in condemning the blizzard , which
raced from their departure from MuKinney
until their arrival at Antelope Springs.
Mujor Fechel says ho has been in the saddle
thirty years and it was the worst be ever
saw , while the cattlemen all declare it was
the worst trip of their lives ,
Two hundred people met the train ntDoug-
las , many of them ladies. Most of tbo cap
tives are well Known hero , and their friends
crowded about the cars exchanging greet
ings. Many , however , insisted that all were
murderers"and tallied of rotten eggs and the
like , but there was no demonstration.
The train will remain here tonight , guurd-
ing the prisouers in the cars.
May Try to WreeU the Train.
Major Egbert has received Information
that an attempt will ho made to wreck the
train cnrouto. The road passes through the
Piatto cauyon about thirty mlles below here
and for six or eight miles the railway follows
the bank of the river , while precipices f 00
feet in height literally overhang the track in
many places.
It is claimed that four men left bore yester
day with tbo avowed purpose of loosening
the rails and throwing the captives , Uncle
Sam's army and all into the river.
White this may he mere raiuor , and prob
ably Is , yet Major Egbert says be prefers to
travel by daylight , honoo he will remain
here tonight. Howard Holes , deputy sheriff
of JohuBon county is with the party and will
accompany them to Cheyenne. The pris
oners talk freely of their exciting experiences
in the past two weeks.
They claim they carried no poison as was
alleged and that the giant powder found iu
their wagon was picked up nt Tisdull'b
ranch and placed umoncr their effects without
their knowledge. They say thut Angus and
his party never called upon them to sur
render during the entire time they were besieged -
sieged and that the so-called rustler * dis
played black flag * on their entrenchments
and meant to give them no Quarter. They
assert that they could have held out for nil
time against the citizens had they been pro
vided with food for themselves and animals.
In ton ( led to Make a Da u.
They had intended to make a dash through
the besieger * lines within twenty-four hours
had they not surrendered to tbo military.
Despite all reports to tno contrary , only two
of their party were wounded during the en
tire campaign. One a man mounted on a
broncho with a catricse in his rifle and when
the animal bucked the rifle went off and tne
bullet shuttered his left leg. He died in the
hospital after the amputation of the wounded
member. The other man/was crawling out
of the door of the fort when n pistol fell out
of hi * bolt and the bullet therefrom plowed
throucb his tide. He wiU recover.
The cattlemen estimate that ! IO,000 sboti
were tired at them during their campaign.
Major Frechet says he assisted in the cap
ture of the prisoner * at the T A ranch and
that cattlemen wore In bo danger from the
efforts of the besiegers to dislodge them ,
He says their improvis toned fort was so well
planned and BOlidly built that 400 men
could not have carried H without losing
half their nurabar and that the besiegers
rould not have usoa giant powder if they
wore so disposed. A cannon was the only
thing that would have dislodged them , rifles
were "not In It. "

cnmmnnd to rest up tomorrow and start for

residence nt Potsdam Friday. Her six chil
dren accompanied her. Tbo absence of n
guardian at the Berlin schlossn necessitates
tbo children being daily driven to the chateau
Bellevue , a part of the thlorgarten , during
their residence In Berlin. This explains the
preference of the empress and her family for
Potsdum , whore the grounds which surround
the palace are extensive.
Mortality of AIonnreiiH. "
The empress is at present very solicitous
about the health of the czarina. Unfavorable
reports concerning her have been received at
' .be Berlin court. The czarina expects to be
accouched in June. She is much affected by
the condition of the Grand Duke Gaorge , her
son , whose lung disease is becoming- worse
and who is believed to be in u hopeless condi
tion. The czarina is .attending him. The
condition of the grand duchess , her daughter ,
whoso spineAvas injured , khows signs ol In"
creasing gravity.
The ompcror han arranged to start on a
month's sailing trip in July.

counces thut the czar TIBS finally .consented
to , visit Potsdam , where be will remain four
days.
'Political circles are agitated at the success
of Emperor William in inducing the czar to
visit Potsdam. Tbo visit will undoubtedly
greatly intluenca the relations between the
txvo empires. It bus already been intimated
to tuo German journals that it would be ad
visable for thorn to cease their attacks upon
Russia.
Lieutenant Clark of the Xinth United
States cavalry , who has been serving n year
in the Eleventh hussars ut Dusseldorf , ar
rived in Berlin on Monday. Ho was given
an uudieuco ot tbo emperor on Wednesday ,
at which bo bade bis majesty farewell prior
to his return to the United States. The em
peror treated him in u most Irlondly manner ,

Clam will sail for NewjYork next week.

The approaching visits of members of the
royal families , with the consequent influx of
sncioty , promises to give considerable stim
ulus to the trade of Berlin. Itis now finally
{ .ettlcd that besides the czar , the king and
queen of Italy , the king and queen of Swe
den , &nd the queen regent and the young
queen of Holland , will arrive before the
middle of June. The queen regent of Hol
land and the queen will sojourn in the Black
forest for a time before coming
to Potsdam. The health of the
young queen is not very robust , and
it is thought , the air of the Black forest will
have a very beneficial effect on her.
Rumore have been circulated that the king
and queen of Itnly will not come to Berlin
owing to the political crisis in Italy , These
reports , however , ure Boml-oftlclnlly denied.
It is known here that the emperor is anxious
to have a conference with King Humbert , us
ho faurs that the attacks upon the llaltui.
military credits will force King Humbert to
reduce Italy's military equipment , und thus
\veukcn the power of the Droibuud.
The fact that the Italian ministry has
agreed that only expenditure for the military
in the colonies stiull be reduced is larcely due
to tbo existence of the Gorman minister ut
Rome , tupported by the Auntrlan minister.

Lo.vnos , April 23. The imperial tobacco
corporation of Persia , an English concern to
which tbo shah ot Persia some time ago con
ceded a monopoly of the totmcro trade in his
dominion , but whicu concession was nftor-
.varcs canceled owing to the opposition of
the people , met iu this city today for the
purpose of wlndiuc up the affairs of the cor
poration. Hon. R. W. Grosveuor presided.
He stated that the company would bo .com
pensated for the lo s of the monopoly by the
payment by the Persian government of $500-
OUO. which would allowto _ tbo return to the
shareholders of the money they had put into

Here is a hint in regard to the prevention
of dust that Is well worth the attention of
housekeepers. Dutch artists of old , who hud
a pnrleel terror of dust , ulwuyit chose , if
noBsiblc , to have their studios in close prox
imity to a cutiul. If ibis was not practicable
they got over the difficulty by kef-ping n
large tub of water iu their stuoioa , most of
the dust flying nbnut the room bcinc caught
in this receptacle. The neighborhood of a
river , the substitute lor th j Dutch canal ,
may not always bo desirable at the present
time , but u bowl of wutor. especiully in these

tiplying the bric-a-bruo in our rooms , is

The furnishing of badrooms has undergone
u marked change. Everything must be light
and dainty nad admit of easy cleaning to be
in good taste. Curpets nre more geuerully
used than rues , The Empire und Louis
styles are used in furnishing. The hangings
nrfl inexpensive und dainty. The preference -
once in these is given to tne pretty French
cretonnes und cbmtres , and where them are
only two windows iu a room the window ,
door and hod draperies uro alike. Tlio Em
pire style oomraends itself more highly for
use in a bedroom , lor there is u chaxte
beauty about it that the more ornate French
and clumsy English lack. Next to thut
the prettiest furniture comes in the Louis

the almanac says It. Klght days ago w
still had know. Now , however , is the souson
vi hou wo begin ugutu the game of politics ,
uud form diplomatic combinations , something
that has not been done since last October.
At the time of the vis.it of M. do Giors ,
the Russian foroirn minister , in Paris thcra
many big quostioni interesting the poli
ticians. There are many slender threads of
diplomacy still floating In the air , but it is
impossible to tell if they will be broken by
the first gale of wind , or to prophacy that
when the diplomats shall appear and sbapo
their sails to the breer.o one shall sc
written upon them the word "Peace" or
"War. "
It is quite evident that the greet European ,
powers are divided into throe groups. Oa
the ono side is the triple J-lllance , on the
oth'ir France and Kussia , and between them
England. The last is trying to shuflla the
curds and gain an advantage for bcr.sclf la
fact , England is playiLg the role sf the third
robber in the fnblc , pretending to no inde
pendent and honing that the others will
quarrel.

second is the Italian ministerial crisis , whicU
is more important than the public are led to

The Franco-Russian ulliuncu is bitterly nt
tacked by its adversaries. They take ad
vantage of every incident to declare that it
is not solid , whereas over.vihiupiroestosbo\y
that such u declaration is false. The alllanco.
U grounded upon mutual interests , the best
of ties between two people.
.lust now there is a ruuior aflnat that thft
talked of visit of the crar to Berlin will
probably take place in May. That signifies
nothing. The politics of Franco and Russia
arc identical on ull questions , and particu
larly affecting Egypt uua Bulgaria.
England is lucky In having in Paris a di
plomatist like Lord Du [ Turin , who can
"work" the French ministers without letting
thuin Kep. He has alrx&dy done at much tor
English interests in Paris as be had dona in
Rome and SU Petersburg. All his clover-r
nean , however , will not prevent u chock to
the English policy In Ejypt through the in
fluence of the France-Russian alliance. The
fcUllau has at lust seen on which side are his
true friends. So well did England under

when t > he btirred up trouble for the porte in
Bulgaria.
Diplomatic DiiKt in 111 * Kyi-n.
It is certain that the English ministry , nnd
that alone , induced Stain uouloff to bend a
note to the porto demanding that ho recog
nize the independence of Buigura. As the
sultan was not willing to obey the orders of
England with relation to Egypt , England
determined to give him employment somewhere -
where clue , und euccccdaa. Dust wus
thrown into the eyes of tbu sultan , and tbo
Egytluu question was forgotten for Bulga
ria. Ho quickly i > aw that he bud fallen into
a trup. und the note of Minister StumUouloff
has no effect. Still it is probabla
thut Russia may prolit by tbo
inrxpllcablu uudaclty of totambou'.ott to
umbaiTust Fredluaud of Bulgaria , and if the
negotiations between Berlin und St , Peters
burg have any object it is the tcttleiuent ot
the Bulgarian question , uud the foundation
of uu alliance between Runsia und ull tbo
