LONDON , Aug. 1. ( Now York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Ur. Hruno
Schocnlank , a member of tlio German Reich
Blag and one of' the German socialist lead
ers , sent as a delegation to the socialist and
trades union International congress , which
closed Us session In London this morning ,
gave to the World correspondent today his
vlewB on the free coinage of silver. The
< lector Is peculiarly tlio spokesman of the
Herman socialists on thin question and he
assured the World correspondent that his
views may lie accepted as those of all his
socialist colleagues and of the German so
cialist party as -whole. . Ho said :
"Wo German socialists arc absolutely op
posed not only to the free coinage of silver ,
but also to bimetallism , whether by Inter
national agreement or by Individual national
effort. We believe that the adoption of a
free sliver system would surely he followed
liy the enhanced cost of all the necessaries
of life , and If even followed by Increase !
wages , such Increase would bo so slow am
so trjfllng that It would bo utterly valueless
to the workmen. In Germany the advocaej
of bimetallism Is associated with unrelent
ing hostility to all workmen's movement.
Our blmctalllsts arc the conservatives , the
free conservatives , and the ngragrlans , who
form the entourage of the emperor , and to
whoso Influence the emperor's opposition to
socialism and his enmity to trades unionism
arc mainly duo. These anti-popular parties
want silver coin to enable them to pay In
silver debts contracted In gold. We German
socialists are united for the gold standard ,
because the long tested operations of eco
nomic laws assure us that It la the best
standard for the workmen.
OFFERS NOTHING TO THE WORKER.
"I know that In England there Is a largo
cctlon of workmen those engaged In the
textile fabric Industries which are closely
identified with India who favor bimetallism
lint the casa of those textile workmen Is
different from ours , for their wages are fixed
on a sliding scale , so they would rise with
any Increase In prices lu their Industry.
"Wo regard the theory of the American
socialist \voikmcn , that free stiver will ben
efit their position , as the merest chimera , a
dream from which , If tree silver Is adopted ,
they will have n dreadful awakeulug before
long.
"You ask mo whether there Is likely to be
an International agreement. I answer , em
phatically , no. Germany , the United States ,
Prance and England may convene another
conference , but it will prove abortive , as
did the Brussels conference , and If called by
thcco Governments , It will bo done simply to
pacify the blmctalllsts lu their respective
countries , just as one humors a fractious
child.
"In speaking thus. I give you the views
of the German socialist party. Wo have
studied this question closely , and as a re
sult are uncompromising enemies of any but
the gold standard. "
William Llcbnecht. also a member of the
Reichstag mid the editor of Vorwacrts , the
German socialist organ , has not discussed
free silver In relation to the American
presidential campaign In his Journal , but his
views ore no lees decided than those of Dr.
Schoenlank. Ho said :
"I consider the silver movement lu the
United States hopeless. I stigmatize the
attempt to depreciate the currency as dls-
honest , and as an attack on International
good faith and Integrity. The English III-
inetalllst league flooded the tables at the
international socialist congress with leaflets
in all languages , but no reference was made
to the subject In any of the sittings. "
LEADERS OF THINKING VOTERS.
Dr. Bruno Schoenlank Is a well-known
writer on socialistic subjects and for six
years has been an editor ot the Vorwaerts ,
the organ of the social democrats of Ger
many. Ho studied In the universities of
Berlin , Lelpsle , Kiel and Halle , and gained
the degree of doctor of philosophy. His
training and his ast > octatloiis especially ( It
him to speak for hla party on the sub
ject of the currency. William Llcbnecht
Is the great political leader ot the Ger
man socialists. He , too , was liberally edu
cated and Is a prolific writer. The social
ists represent the wage-earners of the Gor
man empire. Th > ; y were a mere handful a
quarter of a century ago , but at the last
elections for members of the rclchstag ( In
1S93) ) they polled more than two million
votes. Though the whole Inlluence of the
government was exerted to crush them , the
ompcior resorted to extraordinary measures ,
they gained eight scats in Parliament and
acquired an Inlluencu lu that body which
lias to bo reckoned with now on all ques
tions which effect the great body of the
people. Their leaders are men of brains ,
who have long been profound students of
uoclal problems. Their alms wcro stated
by 11 err Llebnccht as follows ;
"Our foes may rest easy ; we will not
| ) lay Into their hands by resorting to the
weapons of anarchy and destruction. Wo
wish to remodel , not to destroy , Kven the
present organization of society , as bad as
It Is , is superior to no organization at all ,
No sudden revolution is meditated ; no won
derful lurprisc intended , "

Tim London opera season closed last Tues
day. On the whole It has been very suc
cessful and America can lay claim to a
large portion of the credit , as aside from
Mine. Mclba , the three leading prlma don
nas were Americans , Albanl , Eames and
Margaret Reid. Miss Reid , although she
has not won the unanimous praise of the
London papers , has really made a most
favorable Impression among opera goers
and has a staunch friend In Lady Gray ,
whoso Influence at Covcnt Garden has hern
and will be supreme. Consequently Miss
Reid la likely to be seen hero again next
jear.
One of the distinguished American features
of the past season has been the extraordinary

at the Music halls , It has this year taken

several times by the band ot the Dlues at
Princess Maud's wedding. Every street

SHANGHAI , Aug. 1. News of a terrible
disaster with great loss ot life has Just
reached here. A tidal wave estimated to
have been about five miles In length , swept
In from the sea on Sunday last and Inun
dated the coast of Halchau In the northeast
of the province of Klangsu. The damage
done was very great. Many villages wcro
destroyed and It Is estimated that at least
4.000 people were drowned. In addition an
Immense number of cattle perished , the rice
fields were submerged and almost totally
destroyed with the result that a famine Is
feared In that district dining the coming
autumn.
Halchau la situated opposite Yu Chau
Island on the coast of the Klangsu prov
ince , which Is on the west of the Yellow sea.
The surface Is mostly level , which may ac
count for the great loss of life. Klangsu
Is one of the most fertile provinces of the
empire and exports more silk than any other
part of China. The Yang-Tso-Klang enters
the sea through this province , the principal
city ot which is Nanking.

LONDON , Aug. 1. Preparations for the
reception of LI Hung Chang continue and
her majesty , In spite of the precarious state
of her health , la said to be especially in
terested In the coming of the Chinese am
bassador extraordinary , who has been made
so much of In Russia , Germany and France.
The Chinese statesman Is booked to land In
England on Monday , and he will be escorted
to Lord Lonsdalc's splendid mansion on
Cnrlton house terrace , this city , which has
been secured by the government for thu
accommodation of LI Hung Chang during
the month which he Is expected to spend In
England. An elaborate scries of entertain
ments and royal events has been arranged
In his honor.
Vanity Fair warns Its readers against the
members of LI Hung Chang's suite , sayltlg
that the bulk ot them are qulto a low class
of men who would not dare to enter Into
an English or American merchant's private
reception room at Shanghai. The newspa
pers for some time past have contained a
mass ot matter concerning the visiting
Chinamen. It is said that the Chinese vice
roy , when Invited to dinner , Insists upon
dining from his own culslno before going
to the table ot his host and only makes a
pretense of dining when he Is at the ban
quet given to him. After the dinner given
by Prlnco Bismarck at Frlcdrlchsruh , the
German statesman expressed astonishment ,
It Is said , at the fact that LI Hung Chang
did not taste any of the dishes placed be
fore him , whereupon the traveler Is reported
to have said : "It Is not nt my age that one
changes one's habits. If I dined with you
I should bo forced to partake of fare which
I did not like. Hence I prefer to abstain
from eating rather than be asked to make
a face at everything not to my taste. "
Prlnco Bismarck Is reported to havp
thereupon remarked : "How do you know-
that you would not llko our good German
'culslno ' , since you have never tried It ? "
"That Is true , " the Chinaman Is credited
with having replied , "but would you cat
with pleasure the Chinese dish of vats and
dogs , If I served It up at my table ? "
This question seems to have silenced the
great German statesman.
LI Hung Chang takes his meals alone ,
drinks only cold or warm tea , never eats
between meals , and takes only two meals
a day , ono at noon and the other at 7 o'clock.
Ho smokes opium in a silver mounted pipe ,
which Is specially cared for by one of his
servantH , and during his meals ho takes n
puft or two.
On the other hand , It Is said , the most of
the Chinese statesman's suite become accus
tomed soon to foreign cookery , and drink
wine and even beer with their meals.
CIL\NCE FOR THE PRINCE.
The persistent rumors circulating In re
gard to the health of Queen Victoria and her
Intention to retire almost Immediately In
favor of the prince ot Wales have caused
quite a sensation in court and other circles.
While it Is not forgotten that such reports
have been current frequently In previous
years , there Is no denying that her hiajesty's
declining health Is causing much anxiety ,
and It Is generally believed that her retire
ment from public life Is only a question of
a short time. According to the program ,
the queen , when not on the continent , will
reside either at Osborno or at Balmoral , and
will turn over Windsor castle and Bucking
ham palace for the use of the prlnco and
princess of Wales. The prince may not be
declared regent , but may exercise the duties
of such a position to all Intents nnd pur
poses , according to the reports In circula
tion.
It Is believed that the rumors of the approaching
preaching retirement of her majesty gained
much strength from statements attributed
to her during her last visit to this city upon
the occasion ot the marriage of Princess
Maud of Wales to Prince Charles of Den
mark. The queen was then said to have re
peatedly stated that It was her last visit to
London and to this cause Is partially at
tributed her majesty's deep emotion when
acknowledging the cheers of the crowds lin
ing the route from the palace to the railroad
station , where she took the train for Wind
sor. Tears were seen to be coursing down
the queen's checks and there were other
evidences that she was deeply affected by
the loyalty and sympathy displayed on all
sides.
The long and elaborate article by Mr.
John Morley , the late chief secretary for
Ireland , In the Nineteenth Century on arbi
tration Is attracting considerable attention.
Mr. Morley contends that while the line of
difference between Secretary OIney and the
marquis of Salisbury Is narrow , yet ono
British nonpossummus would easily
convert It Into a risk of a
fratricidal war. He strongly opines
that what Is to be done must ho done
quickly and dreads the result of fatalist con
fidence In the wisdom of Downing street ,
Mr. Morley adds that If Lord Salisbury falls
the question will bo set back many years.
LORD WOLSEllEY'S INSULT.
Before the commission on Indian military
expenditures Lord Wolseley , the com-
inander-tn-chtef , testified on Wednesday
that ho would not like to put the British
Indian troops In front of European sol
diers , and that bo would not llko to fight
France , Germany or any other army with
Indian troops. His remarks have caused
the greatest outcry In the press and have
roused the most severe comment. The
Globe , for Instance , says : "Lord Wolseley
Is no longer our only general because , in the
ono war which many believe Inevitable
with Russia , our Indian army , which ho
lecklcwily Insults , will play an Important
part , and we should not llko to see them
called upon to follow such an intensely un
popular commander , "
Lord Wolselcy'8 testimony was cabled to
India , where it bat aroused great indigna
tion. A dispatch frim Simla says : "Tho
high authorities fear It 'tvlll cause great
discontent among the Indian troops. "
The socialist congress , which has been
In session hero during thg past week , has
furnished what Is clashed fls a ridiculous ex
hibition of Impotence and inadequate or
ganization ot the simplest details necessary
for the conduct of ft pcclal congress , and
the delegates would hSvo been handicapped
thereby In any serious" attempt to do bus
iness , even had there bean no discord.
Mr. Matthew Magulre , the leader of the
American section of the socialist congress ,
Informed a representative ot the Associated
press that absolute Ignorance of the prin
ciples of the socialist movement existed In
the committees appointed to-frame the
resolutions.
The congress has also proved that so
wide Is the dissimilarity between the for
eign and English-speaking delegations that
nothing closer Is possible than Interna
tional' sympathy , Concerted methods are
out of the question. The press and the
people , while crediting the serious Inten
tions , have been much amused at Its help
lessness in the face of Internal dissension.
The English Medical association opened
Its annual meeting nt Carlisle on Tuesday
with Its various sections well attended. The
usual Interesting papers were read nnd the
asEOcl.itton decided , In response to the
Canadian Invitation to hold Its meeting ot
1SS7 In Montreal.
MAYBRICK CANARD DENIED.
A statement was recently printed to the
effect that the real reason why Mrs. Flor
ence Mnybrlck has not been released Is
owing to the persona opposition ot Queen
Victoria. Her majesty was reported to
have asked for n copy of the evidence and
because It contained allegations of an In-
trlguo with a lover the queen Intimated to
Mr. Henry Asqulth and later to Sir Mat
thew Whlto Ridley , the present home secre
tary , that under no cfr'cumstnnces would she
receive or consider any memorial In fa\or
of the release of Mrs. Mayhrlck.
At the request of Baroness Roqucs , Mrs.
Maybrlck's mother , n reporter of the Asso
ciated press has investigated the story and
Is able , on the highest official authority ,
to state that tto story has no foundation
In fact. Not only has Ker majesty never
Intimated any wishes In the matter nor
requested any copy dt the evidence , but
she has never expressed bfnclally any opin
ion In the case to any 'homo-secretary , with
whose action , If It was decided to release
Mrs. Maybrlck , her majesty would not In
terfere.
The Maybrlek case came up In the House
of Commons yesterdaywhen'the homo secre
tary , Sir Matthew White Ridley , was asked
whether the government jvpuld lay on the
table the statement of. > > th'e.lord chief Jus
tice , Baron Russell of Klllowen , which
attracted so much comment In March last.
He replied that the government could not
do so. as the course was unusual and un
desirable , and as the'-letter was written
In thls private capacity and not In his
capacity as a judge. It was stated In March
ithat the prgsent home secretary had re
considered the Maybrlpk case and bad prac
tically decided In Mnn ia'ybrlck's favor ,
but that LoVd ChancelJor ' Barpn Halsbury ,
to whom the cose was 'subsequently re
ferred , had pronounced against the un
fortunate woman , and , Mr. Henry Asqulth ,
the late home secretary , was also quoted as
Intimating that heas opposed to the re
lease of the prisoner.- Both these opinions
wcro contrary , It Is believed , to Lord Chief
Justice Russell , who Is said , In the letter
referred to In Parliament yesterday , to have
expressed the belief that' Mrs. Maybrlck
was unjustly convicted.

LONDON , Aug. 1. The first Saturday sit
ting of the House ot Commons occurred to
day , which heralded the close of the ses
sion , and It Is oxpcctcd that Parliament
will bo prorogued on Saturday , August 8.
The amount of work which Mr. A. J. Ual-
four , the government leader In the House ,
proposes to dispose of during the coming
fortnight Is Immense and It Is very doubtful
whether the catalogue ot bills can be pushed
through. The Commons did brisk work
during the past week , but there are some
measures still pending which are looked
upon as certain to meet with considerable
opposition. A measure dealing with auto-
motor earn passed Its committee stage on
Thursday nnd Is expected become a law
during the present session. It permits auto-
motors to run on English highways at a
speed not exceeding fourteen miles an hour.
The House of Lords burned midnight oil
last evening before the Irish land bill
passed Its second reading by that body. The
marquis of Londonderry , the carl of Wln-
chclsea and the duke of Abercorn were the
leading spokesmen for landlordism and their
strictures promise amendments In commit
tee which are likely to cause some trouble
when the measure is returned to the House
of Commons.
The Chronicle says : "Unless the govern
ment has given categorical pledges to the
Irishmen In return for their support nothing
Is to save them from n great betrayal. If
the landlord majority In the cabinet re
fuses to allow Mr. Balfour to destroy the
Lords landlord amendments the Irish will
be caught In a cleft stick and It will be too
late to save the bill. "
A bg | assembly of noble dames listened
to yesterday's debate In the House of Lords ,
Including tie | marchioness of Salisbury and
the1 duchesses of CadoganuMayo , London
* " "
rfcrry-'and Rlbbcsdale.- The marquls""oT
Salisbury displayed his personal Interest In
the Irish measure by slumbering heavily ,
while Lord Landsdowne moved its second
reading. Once the premier's head Inclined
to rest on the duke of Devonshire's s > houl-
dcr , and tholattcr hastily arose and strolled
(
to the bar of the House until the marquis
awoke.
RHODES AND RHODESIA.
The government has decided that the

four liberals and an Irish nationalist , and
It Is expected , In spite of denials , that the
secretary of state for the colonies , Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain , will eventually consent
to preside over the deliberations of the com
mittee. The government , after a vain re
sistance , has consented that Mr. Henry
Labouchere shall sit on the committee. His
presence ensures the fullest light being shed
up on the origin of the raid , Sir William
Vcrnon Harcourt , the liberal leader In the
House of Commons , will also bo a member.
No decision has yet been announced re
garding the action to bo taken against Mr.
Cecil Rhodes. If ho Is tried ho will be
the first privy councillor who has been crim
inally prosecuted slnco 1E05 , when Lord
Melville was charged with malversation ot
public funds.
The news from Rhodesia Is far from rosy.
Sir Frederick Carrlngton's forces seem
capable of little more than holding their
own. In fact some of the recent fights
look very much like reverses. The In
surgent natives have profited by the previous
defeats Inflicted upon them , nnd they now
decline to rush Into the open and pro
vide food for the maxln rapid-firing guns ,
which , during recent encounters , have been
almost useless. An official dispatch re
ceived from Rhodesia yesterday stated that
Captain White , with 250 men , a seven-
pounder and two maxims , had gene to the
relief of the Hartley laager , and the latest
news from the column was that Captain
Whlto had taken up a position on the top
of Kopje , which ho was defending , and asked
for food and ammunition. Thus It appears
that this strong force Is only able to hold
Its own , owing to the altered tactics
of the enemy. Sir Frederick Carrlngton
admits that he needs more troops , but
he Is unable to feed or transport them , owing
to the prevalence of the rinderpest. The
latest telegrams from Rhodesia report in
creasing numbers of cases ot treachery
among the frlendllcs , who are supplying the
Insurgents with cartridges and food. The
authorities having abandoned the Idea nf
driving the Insurgents out of Matoppo hills ,
have decided Instead to build a chain efforts
forts around them and starve the enemy.
Twenty forts have already been commenced.
These will be maintained after the revolt
Is quelled as a refuge Tor the settlers In
the event of another outbreak. In addition
a permanent police force of 1,000 men Is
to bo enrolled.
PUT IT OFF FOR A YEAR.
Though Lord Dray's suggestion to make
September 3 a bank holiday in order to cel
ebrate the fact that Queen Victoria's reign
will then hayo lasted longer than that of
any other English sovereign has been de
clared by the marquis of Salisbury to be In
convenient and Impracticable this year , It
Is generally understood that the accom-
pllshraent ; of the sixty years' reign next year
will be the occasion for a national celebra
tion similar to the Jubilee.
The naval maneuvers just concluded have
given a shock to Englishmen who Imagine
that Great Britain's naval bulwark Is I in
pregnable. The idea of the maneuvers was
that a foreign fleet was trying to reach
Lougswllly and that a British fleet which
was much stronger and faster had to pre
vent it.
The foreign fleet met oft Torr bay and

to prove that the landing ot an Invading

COLOR QUESTION IN FRANCE.
The color question has suddenly come Into
prominence In Franco by the recall ot Gen
eral Deeds , the hero of the Dahomey cam
paign , from his post of brigadier general
In Indo-Chlna , and It Is generally believed
that this step Is duo to the fact that ho Is
n mulatto , having been born In Senegal of
a Senegalese mother. It appears that great
opposition exists In the ministry of the
colonies against mulattoes. who , It Is said ,
are obtaining too many posts In the colonial
service , nnd It is difficult to deny that the
fcclln In France , which before the colonial
expansion brought Frenchmen In close touch
with the blacks and was very tolerant to
thorn , has recently veered. M. Crovillo
Rcace , the mulatto deputy from Guadeloupe ,
Intends to bring the matter Into the arena
of politics by questioning the colonial min
istry on the subject. This will be the , first
time that the race question has been Intro
duced In the Chamber of Deputies. The
recent career of General Deeds Is Interest
ing. His able conduct of the Dahomoy
campaign scared the government , who feared
he would become a popular Idol , n sort ot
second Boulanger. Therefore , he was kept
In the background and was not given com
mand ot the Madagascar expedition , for
which has was well fitted , butt was .packed
'oft to n'So-Chlna and Is. now.recalled.and
exhibited to the public as n colored man.
Mr. Poultney Blgolov/ arrived In England
from Cape Town on Saturday last. Ho had
unusual opportunities of Inquiring Into tbo
situation In the Transvaal and talked with
President ICrugcr nnd others On both sides.
Ho things that trouble between the Boers
and ultlandcrs Is sure to come , and says
that the methods of the Boer government
are bad. Ho adds that police spies are
everywhere , and that letters are opened , etc.

BERLIN , Aug. L Letters received hero
from Wllhclmshohc report the empress and
her children to be In the best ot health.
Her majesty takes exorcise on horseback
every morning , accompanied by her eldest
son , and toward evening the whole family
drives out In two carriages. The mother
and the oldest pilnccs later sup almost
publicly on the terrace of their castle , the
participants serving themselves after the
servants have placed the dishes on the
table. No members ot the Imperial sulto
Is ever Invited to these quiet suppers. The
moon often permits the empress and her
children to play lawn tennis until 10 or It
o'clock at night.
The emperor will hold this fall the grand *
cst naval maneuvers yet essayed by the
German navy. The fleet will consist ct
fifty-three ihlps , Inclusive of twenty-four
torpedo boats. Admiral von Knorr has
selected the torpedo school ship Bluchcr
as his flagship. Prlnco Henry of Prussia ,
contrary to expectations , will not have an
Important command.
Emperor William Is preparing Castli
Bcllcvuc , which Is beautifully situated on
the Berlin Thlcrgarten , for his eldest son.
The old house Is being thoroughly over
hauled and modernized , and In order to
save horse flesh , the Bcllcvue station of
the elevated railroad will connect with the
park by n staircase , so that the prlnco may
run up and see his parents at the schloss
for 15 pfennigs at any time ho chooses. '
There has been fierce sunshine In many
parts of Prussia this week , and a largo
number of workmen have been prostrated
by the heat. At Konlgsburg on Thursday
the heat was so great that eighteen persons
who wcro prostrated have since died from
tlio effects. {
DISQUIETING RUMORS.
Since Prlnco von Hohenlouc left the vlcfr. ,
regal palace of Strasburg , disquieting
rumors have been circulating concerning the
administration of justice. It is alleged
that the government , In order to win over
'
the aristocracy , favors scions' of noble fan-
lllcs in every way possible. Thus It U
reported that the young Baron Flprent Char-
pc iticr , son ot the deputy of that name. )
after falling to pass his examination at tbo
university of Strasburg , was declared a1
graduate by special decree of the secretary *
of state of the Rclchsland. It Is also
reported that the circuit president of upper.
Alsace permits the great Industrials In hl3l
district Illegal liberties to the detriment of :
the poorer classes of workmen , ( , '
A long and costly Inquiry upon the part
of the chancellery has proved that America. )
docs not send salt horeo flcch here to nnyj
extent , and consequently the empire's horsey
flesh Industry Is not menaced. In splto of
the official dental , however , the agrarian , '
papers continue to attack the United States
for the alleged endeavor to foist salt borsp
upon Germany , claiming that salt horsa
drummers frequently visit the cities of the
Rhine , besides Hamburg and Stettin. * 1)1 )
The police have found a now way to loofe
after the dreaded socialists. Policemen la' '
citizens clothes are sent to all places of ;
publls resorts frequented by malcontents and
the loner classes generally. They are al
lowed a certain sum to pay for drinks and ]
food and all they have to do Is to keep their ,
cars and oycs open and to make arrests for
socialist utterances. A new police order.
provides for the arrest of persons , who , after
11 o'clock at night , play the piano or sing
with open windows. This regulation Is' '
now In force In the suburbs and If found' '
applicable It will bo Introduced in tUft' '
*
capital. f
PUNISHMENT IS SEVERE. ( '
A telegram received from Dar-es-Salaatn
says that Director Schroeder ot the East
African Plantation company has been Berf 'j
tenced to fifteen ycais' penal servitude fo ?
brutality to native men and women , The
details of the crlmo have not arrived heroj' '
but they must bo of a hideous character-
the penalty Inflicted Is tbo most severe lit1
the criminal code , save the death penalty. ' ) )
Statistics show that the earnings of the
Prussian state railways Increased 10OQ9OJ ) ( { ,
