J THE DAILY RECORD, SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1907. M 400. AMERICA AND THE CHINESE DISTURBANCES. The Commander of the American gunboat “Helena” which has just arrived at Fuchan, has received instructions from Washington to return at once to Amoy, the nearest harbour to the scene of the recent revolt against the Chinese authorities, and to take measures for the protection of Americans and other foreigners in the Province of Kwangtung. LABOUR TROUBLES IN ’FRISCO. The Times announces that in consequence of the unlimited supremacy of the Labour organisa tion in San Francisco some 40,000 men are now out of work, among them being 16,000 strikers. Owing to this* shortage of labour it is becoming increasingly . difficult to obtain capital for the re construction of the city and other undertakings. THE ATTEMPT ON PRESIDENT CABRERA. The New York Herald learns from Guatemala that the public proceedings before the military court against the 17 persons condemned to death for an alleged attempt to assassinate Pre sident Cabrera began on Wednesday. No col lective note has been signed by the diplomatic corps, as the Government has announced its intention of proceeding against the accused strictly according to law. THE RAILWAY STRIKE IN ARGENTINA. The strike of railway employes in Buenos Aires still continues. No disturbances have taken place. A few trains are running worked by engineers. The directors of the railway are consulting with the Minister of Public Works and the Minister of the Interior. INNUNDATION IN TEXAS. A telegram from Houston states that storms, ac companied by cloudbursts, have innundated the country for miles. Railway communication is stopped. Houses have been destroyed and washed away. NEWS FROM FRANCE. FRANCE AND THE HAGUE CONFERENCE. M. Pichon, Minister of the Exterior, has requested the Socialist Deputy, M. Pressense, to defer until next week his interpellation as to the attitude to be adopted by the French representatives at the Hague Conference, to the English and American proposals touching the limitation of armaments, since he has been prevented from preparing his answer by the festivities held in honour of the King and Queen of Norway. M. Pressense has assented to this request. THE WRECKED CRUISER “CHANZY”. The Ministry of Marine has been informed that the salvage operations on the cruiser “Chanzy”, stranded on Saddle Island were perforce dis continued on Thursday owing to the heavy sea that was running. The assistance of other salvage companies is to be sought. THE MONTAGNINI PAPERS. The examining magistrate, M. Duchasse, states that the remark attributed to him in the lobbies of the Chamber that he had been charged to bring the Montagnini papers into “disorder” is pure in vention. PRESIDENT FALLIERES TO TOUR. It is rumoured in political circles in Paris that President Fallieres on the way back from his pro jected trip to Norway, will pay visits to the King of Sweden and the King of Denmark. NEWS FROM RUSSIA. THE DUMA. The interpellation as to the occurrences in Riga where, according to the report of the Commission, atrocities took place in the gaol, came up for dis cussion on Thursday. The Minister of Justice stated that the ministerial officials had had no lot in these deeds of shame of which they were accused, and that the informa tion of the Committee was absolutely false. M. Makarov insisted that the police had never been guilty of many of the actions ascribed to them in the report. The official enquiry had shown that the police were guilty in certain cases. Prisoners had been struck with the fist, and proceedings were to be taken against 42 policemen. He did not wish to defend the attitude of the police, but he must remark that they found themselves in a very difficult position. Their actions could be understood in view of the atrocities of the re volutionaries. They could not demand of the police, of whom more than 1,000 had been killed or wounded in the Baltic provinces, that they should always remain cool-headed. M. Makarov - reminded the House of a whole series of terrorist atrocities, committed between 1906 and the com mencement of 1907 which, had claimed countless victims. When he had concluded the debate took an unexpected turn. Numerous Deputies spoke not of the interpellation but of terrorist deeds and of the general policy of the government. Eight Orders of the Day were then introduced, four condemning terrorist outrages, four describing the Government statements as insufficient. They were all rejected and the sitting at the instance of the labour party was suspended for 15 minutes. On its resumption a long debate ensued, during which a violent scene occurred between M. Roditsheff and Count Bolrinski who accused the former of insult ing him. Eventually an Order of the Day pro posed by the Labour Party was adopted and the House adjourned. R WIRSI1 American Dentist.

The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger has received a some what mysterious telegram from Oxford to the effect that undergraduates, exasperated by the success of Christ Church and Merton in the boat races, de termined to burn down the “tribunes” in the grounds of those colleges. On Wednesday evening some hundreds of undergraduates overpowered the police and fire brigade and burnt the “tribunes”. They then set the secretary’s lodge on fire. On reading the above telegram we were, in spite of having some acquaintance with Oxford and its ways, completely puzzled. The Oxford summer eights were concluded on Wednesday evening and Christ Church went head of the river having bumped both New College and Magdalen. Merton also had a fine, speedy crew and made no less than six bumps, but that either of their victims should show such a vindictive spirit as to burn their rivals’ “ tribunes ”, whatever they might be, seemed so entirely opposed to Oxford tradi tions that the whole telegram became in credible. The mystery is now, however, explained. It appears that Christ Church held a bump supper to celebrate their victory, and bump suppers when a boat goes head of the river are apt to be more than usually, shall we say enthusiastic? At all events a large number of the undergraduates had partaken not wisely but too well of the cham pagne at the supper, and your undergraduate who has looked upon the wine when it is red or bubbly as the case may be, invariably thinks first of a bonfire. Christ Church meadows where the Oxford pageant is to be held are conveniently near and thither the under graduates repaired. The tent of the “Master of the Pageant,” the mysterious secretary mentioned above, was by accident set on fire—we had feared at first that the rooms of the secretary of the O. U. B. C. had been gutted—as were one or two of the grand stands placed there in readiness for the pageant. The ardour of the undergraduates was eventually cooled by streams of water directed on them from the firemen’s hoses. Hugo # Borack English spoken. Purveyor to the Court.

BARTH ON GERMANY AND AMERICA. Dr. Theodore Barth, who recently arrived in the United States for a prolonged stay, has introduced himself to Americans in an extremely interesting speech. The publishers of the respected New York journal The Evening Post arranged a banquet, to which a number of distinguished New York citizens were invited, in honour of this German parlia- mentarian and journalist. After several speeches had been made, Dr. Barth expressed his thanks for the reception which had been accorded him, and continued: “Nearly the whole of my public career has been one of opposition, especially against class and national prejudices. My political op. ponents called me a Socialist when I demanded justice * and equal political rights even for those workmen who did not belong to my party, and I was termed a bad patriot when I censured national evils. So long as there have been States it has always been an ungrateful task to speak the truth; and even journalists, whose noble profession it is to say unpleasant things, often find it easier to give way to public opinion than to resist it. But the greater the influence of the Press the greater its responsibility for good or ill, and we ought to honour that Press all the more which makes no concessions to bad taste, class hatred, and Jingoism. It was ever my pride to be a journalist. A man in high position in Germany once said to me, that those poor creatures the journalists never pass an examination; but I believe that the journalist is the most examined man in the world. He has to pass an examination every day, and if he is not in a position to attract readers, he will never be a leader of public opinion; but if he passes his daily examination with success, then there is no limit to his power. Even in Germany, which, as is well known, is no democratic Republic, the power of the Press is constantly growing; it is greater than that of the Reichstag. No statesman knew this better than Bismarck, one of the greatest journalists then living. The present Imperial Chancellor, Prince Biilow, is constantly endeavour ing to be on good terms with the Press, as the most important exponent of public opinion. Other nations are too often inclined to under-estimate the influence of public opinion in Germany; but even the old Germany, with its burden of old feudal traditions, is constantly involved in a process of democratisation. A characteristic sign of this is the ever growing interest in American institutions and American public life, and the ever growing wish to maintain good relations with the United States. The demand for friendship between the United States and Germany is made by every single party, and on this point even the Socialists agree with the Emperor. I am especially glad to be able to confirm this, and I have always done my best to open the eyes of my countrymen with regard to the public affairs of the United States. When I saw this interesting country for the first time in 1886, I did so under the guidance of Mr. Henry Villard, the railway pioneer of the North- West, who was overtaken by the same fate as many other prophets, viz. that reality did not keep pace with his fair hopes. The future has shown that his belief in the inexhaustible possibilities of the great North-West rested on a far clearer judg ment than the scepticism of his detractors. Tlie rich resources of the virgin earth have meanwhile been developed, by the energies of an optimistic people, to an unheard-of productivity. Even the doubtful wisdom of legislators has not been able to oppose this astonishing growth, which excites the admiration of the whole world. But is this great territory of the United States, with its enormous material strength, stronger morally today than in the simple times when Trusts and multi-millionaires were unknown in public life? This question is more than a philosophic once; it touches the political progress of humanity. The United States form the greatest democratic community on the earth; can they remain a democracy in the full sense of the word?—a Government of the people, for the people, by the people? Or will they become a plutocracy, dominated by a capitalist aristocracy shut up in Trusts as the controlling force of the whole Government machinery ? All true Democrats in Europe regard with sym pathetic interest this great democratic smelting-put, in which nationalities and principles are undergoing a continual process of metamorphosis. Liberal Ger mans are firmly convinced that this great domain of liberty will not disappoint the votaries of free dom and true civilisation, and that in the nation, from which proceeded the Declaration of Indepen dence and which produced a Washington and a Lin coln, the noble ambition will never be extinguished, not only to acquire wealth but to strengthen those moral impulses which denote the enduring progress of humanity. The second Conference at the Hague now imminent gives an opportunity of showing the seriousness of our endeavours to further these principles of civilisation which, reaching out beyond the petty self-seeking of nations, touch the found* 1 ' tions of international life.”
