LONDON. July 31. At the session today
of the International socialist labor and trade
union congress In St. Martin's town
hall , M. Valllant , the French socialist dep
uty , was chairman and Matthew Magulre ,
the leading delegate of the socialist labor
party of the United States , was vice chair
man.
man.The congress adopted the report of the
committee on education and physical de
velopment , favoring a government system
of public education , extending from the
kindergarten to the university , and lncludng |
physical , scientific. artistic and technical
subjects , to be genuinely accessible to every
one by freedom from fees and public main
tenance ot the scholars. The report pro
hibits the employment ot children under IS
years of age In night work , or in any work
Involving labor extending over twenty-four
hours weekly.
Mr. James Kler Hardlo argued that what
ever expense the maintenance of scholars
and their university education would be It
would be followed by compcnsatlou In the
diminution of the number of criminals , and
quoted from the experience of England since
the adoption of the educational law of 1871
In support of his argument.
The congress later adopted the report of
the committee on organization , favoring the
establishment of a permanent International
committee and International bureau ot In
formation , and recommending that "In view
of the great emigration of Europeans to
America , enabling concentrated capitalism
to reduce wages , and overcome the working
men's resistance of oppression and degrada
tion , arrangements be made to distribute
to emigrants socialist literature and Information
mation In various languages to enable them
to Join the organization. "
A discussion ot the abolition ot standing
armies and the substitution for them ol
International arbitration was then taken up.
Many of the delegates opposed the aboli
tion of standing armies , claiming It would
place the proletariat more In the power of
the upper classes. An English delegate.
Mrs. Black , dwelt upon the Importance of
the prospective court of arbitration between
the United States and Great Britain ,
and proposed that the congress "send word
to those wretched fellows , Salisbury and
Olney , that the congress Insists upon this
arbitration. "
Mr. Samuel , an American delegate , con
tended that the congress ought not to pay
much attention to the proposed arbitration
between Great Britain and the United
States , asserting that the middle classes
would never resort to arbitration unless
there was moro money In It than there
was. Mrs. Black's proposal was not adopted.
The report of the committee was then
passed In favor ot the abolition of the stand
ing armies and the establishment of a na
tional citizens' force , and In favor of a
tribunal of arbitration .whose decision shouIJ
be final and whose duty It should be to
regulate disputes between nations , adding
that the question ot war or peace should
real with the people when the governments
refuse to accept the a\vard ot the tribunal
of arbitration , and also protesting against
secret societies , declaring that the worklng-
: ain can only obtain the objects enumerated
uy gaining control of legislation and allying
himself with the International socialist
movement.

LONDON , July 31. The rumor that Queen
Victoria intends to retire in favor of the

Such reports have frequently app-jired of
recent years , only to be seml-ofllclally con

rnents made. It is added that her majesty
has decided to spend her time In fu'iire at
Balmoral or Osborne and that she will give
the prince and princess of Wales the usa of
Buckingham palace and Windsor castle.
There Is no doubt that the queen gr.onis to
feel greatly the weight of her years an 1 be
reavements , and her majesty Is quot-jd as
having repeatedly remarked during her stay
In this city at Buckingham palace on the
occasion of the recent marriage of Princess
Maud ot Wales to Prince Charles of Denmark -
mark ; "This Is my last visit to London. "
Color Is given to the rumors In rlrculitlon
by the deep emotion displayed by tne queen

SOUTHAMPTON , July 31. Samuel M.
Clemens ( Mark Twain ) , with his wife and
daughter , arrived here today on board the
steamer Norman from Table Bay , Capo Col
ony. Although he started out on his tour ot
the world In feeble health , being obliged
often to take to his bed between the dc-
livery of lectures , and notwithstanding an
attack of Illness In India , he looked the pic
ture ot health when he landed here. He
has gene far and seen much In the fand-
wlch Islands , Australia , India and South
Africa , but It was especially of affairs in the
Transvaal , where his stay was coincident
with the excitement over the trial of the
"reform" prisoners , that he was ready to
talk. He expressed himself as feeling
charmed with what he had seen of South
Africa.
"I consider the Transvaal the country ol
the future , " said Mr , Clemens. "It has a
delightful climate and boundless natural
wealth. I had presented to me In Johannes
burg a little nugget with figures on It showIng -
Ing the enormous Increase In the gold out
put. The bulk ot the trade there Is In the
hands of the English and Germans , but
Americans should be able to command the
lion's share of the trade In machinery , the
largest portion of the machinery In the
Transvaal being American. John Hays
Hammond , the reform leader , convicted ol
treason , and whose sentence of death was
commuted , Intends to bring back from the
states with him $200,090. The majority ol
the Americans In the Transvaal are engaged
In mining and engineering. I think there
Is a great opening there for a young mar
acquainted with this branch of mechanics ,
The American element Is comparative ! }
small , but the mass of the Boers make nc
distinction between Americans and English.
Indeed , all foreigners , with the exceptlor
of Germans , are referred to as English. Thf
excitement over the Jameson raid , and th <
subsequent trial of the reformers , has sub.
sided , but all the reformers are agreed thai
the cause ot political reform has been retarded -
tarded a decade by the Jameson fiasco. "
Mark Twain shows his humorous appre
ciation of the stolid qualities of the Boei
character in touching upon their history
He said with his solemn and characteristic
drawl : "The flight of the children of Israel
was a holiday excursion compared with
the Boer treks. When they finally settlec
In the Transvaal , like the Mormons , thej
thought the country was so valueless thai
no one would ever take the trouble to dis
turb { hem. Though there is no doubt thai
the English preserved them from extinction
at the hands ot the savages , their hatred o :
England Increased with every Interference
The hand of God , as they firmly believe
guided them in the wilderness of their dif
ferent settlements and the English per
sisted in Interfering In each Instance.
"In my opinion , that ultlander elemeni
must overwhelmingly preponderate befort
they can gain political recognition , anc
then It can only be by peaceful means. "
The traveler expressed himself as verj
favorably Impressed with the United States
consular officials , especially Mr. Williams
at Johannesburg , "whom. " ho added , " ]
count my personal friend. "
"I think , " he said , "that with the Increase
ot commerce and the development of th (
country , our government will find it Im
portant for the extension ot American trade
to increase the consulates. "
Asked regarding his own pinna. Mr. Clem
ens replied that he Intended to remain ir
England no longer than six months , ant
that he will spend It in some quiet spol
away from London , where he Intends tc
write a book.

MADRID , July 31. A cabinet crlsti Is
believed to be Imminent here. Scnor Can-
ovas del Castillo came Into power in Spain
on Feburary 7 , 1895. A number ot officers
bad broken Into and pillaged the edicts of
\nrlous newspapers , which had made In
sinuations against the conduct of officers
engaged Ir. supporting the Cuban revolt and
the war minister seemed to support the
officers , whereas the premier , Senor Sagasla ,
ordered the Journalists to be protected.
This led to the retirement of the ministry.
Marshal Campos was temporarily made cap
tain general of Madrid and the greatest
excitement prevailed. Finally Scnor Cano-
vas del Castillo formed a ministry , although
he lacked the support of a section ot the
conservative party. The government was
defeated on a vote ot censure on June 3 ,
1S85 , but did not resign. They have met
occasional reverses growing out of the
Cuban policy , but the general elections In
April returned an overwhelming majority
of the Cortes In favor of the government.
Gross election frauds were charged by the
opposition to have been committed In that
election.

NEW YORK. July 31. BaWngton Booth ,

made the following statement today in re
ply to a statement mode by Commander
Booth-Tucker- have resd In the San
Francisco prers of the 24th Inst. the
statement of Commander Booth-Tucker and
am amazed that he can dare to continue
thus so flagrantly to misrepresent the cause
of the Volunteers.
"Booth-Tucker knows he misleads the
public when stating that we have only two
posts of any strength. We have 100 officered ,
organized , separate posts , and we arc not
afraid to leave the public to Judge ot their
comparative strength , financially as well
as numerically.
"He again willfully seeks to Injure the
Volunteers by asserting we have many
more foreign officers than American. In
our headquarters and New York regiment
alone we have 121 officers , of whom ninety-
four are American-born.
"Such statements as the above are either
the result of grossest Ignorance or a willful
Intent to damage an American Institution ,
and the charges that Indian missionaries
have bro\ight against Booth-Tucker of being
a pcrverter of facts seem to be confirmed
by his procceduro on the coast.
"The Volunteer movement , though not
five months old , progresses beyond all ex
pectations. Wo are not talking ot all we
purpose doing , but are rather quietly doing
It. Many score ? of the.most prominent and
respected citizens , among whom are over
1,700 defenders and subscribers , bear wit
ness to the Inaccuracy | ot Booth-Tucker's
statements and to our phenomenal advance.
"Mrs. Balllngton booth will visit Califor

learn the truth at her lips. Fair minded
Americans will withhold Judgment until
then. "
