of the .truth of the oatimatos. What the
assets can bo , none knows , but they are
probably very small , nnd the disparity
in tlio figures will undoubtedly cause n
surprise. A clerk of Grant & Ward's
said' the amount of liabilities will un-
undoubtedly bo very large. They are
discovering now business every day.
* 'Ye's , I know the names of some persons
caught , bnt cannot give them. Some
gentlemen are in for $500,000 , and others

JJ&VVm. 0. Smith , of the stock exchange ,

Jbilitina will roach $8,000,000 , although
that ia o. mutter of which I have no
knowledge. The figures are all gossip ,

transferred to other people , are amply

have invented their money with the firm.

Many thought they wore to witness a

Tlio inmate of the coupe was Ward. Ono

theT'coupe ' ns Ward was rapidly driven
toward New York ferry.
The houao is elaborately and expen

"OKNEUAL GRANT'S

May of each year li.in found General

15r.ni.iN , May ' . ) . In the roichatag to
day the debate on the bill to renew the
special auti-ROcialiat law waa returned.
Rtch'or pronounced the law a failure' ,
emphasizing til' ) fuel tlmt it had nut pro-
vimtod the attempt tobloiv up the Niodo-
orvwald monumont.
Von Piittrkiimer , Prussian homo sec
retary , aaid the ocourronco , iniloiul of
being an arginnont ngxinit the pro-
'ongaticin of the law , was iv reason iiu-
t. _ If th law luul not been enacted the
iuisBlon would have been atoned for in
torrents of blood. All states which do
not possess such a law are being under
mined by anarchist ideas as a legimate
consequence of social democracy.
Dismarck also spoke in defense of the
bill , and said the government could not
make a law more lenient , but hoped
through social refurma to give workmen
their duo ; namely : work so long as they
were able to labor , and support when
they wnro unahlo to toil lon
ger. Parliamentary obstruction sim
ply impeded the government.
If the bill should bo rejected the gov
ernment would replace it with another.
If that parliament should reject the bill ,
the government would bo exonerated of
all responsibility and c-wld regard the
further development of social democracy
with a quiet conscience.
