SOCIALISM IS
ENGLISH ISSUE
Little Encouragement for the
Unionists in Recent Vic
tory at the Polls.
FIGHT IS STILL AHEAD
Propaganda Begun Tear Ago Has
Permeated Country and Has
" Thousands of Exponents
Throughout TCntirn Island.
LONDON, Nov. . 2. There is great
unionist jubilation throughout the coun
try over the go-called rout of the social
ists In yesterday's municipal elections.
There never was a greater misnomer for
the result of the national polling, and no
boad-mlnded English politician is de
ceived by it least of all the leaders of
the unionist party.
What has happened or is happening is a
complete change in the political complex
ion of the British electorate. Every
form of radicalism In Britain until wlthr
In the last year has been included under
the banner of the liberal party. This
loose grouping now has fallen apart, as
was Inevitable after the overwhelming
victory at flie last general election.
"Movement's Rapid. Spread.
The secession of the laborites was ex
pected, but the exchange which actually
has taken place has a far greater signi
ficance. Socialism pure and simple be
gan a widespread propaganda about a
year ago and its effects were first mani
fested In the result of yesterday's elec
tion. Its work has pretended to be non
politlcal and Its doctrines have been
preached in churches, schoolhouso meet
ings, open-air assemblages, and under
every possible guise and on every possi
ble occasion.
Bo active have been its disciples that
there now average 1500 meetings weekly
throughout the country. So-called non
political organizations have been formed
everywhere. There are scores of these
In London alone, with membership of
from 700 to 2000, which did not exist a
year ago.
The leaders ignore or repudiate the mis
takes . of municipal ownership which
caused the overwhelming defeat of the
progressist party in London ' and other
cities last Spring. These mistakes they
account for by saying that they were
made by amateur and impractical imi
tators of real socialist principles.
Name First Candidate.
Their doctrine is the simon pure article,
which they easily induce the half-educated
classes to believe will bring the
social and political millennium. They
nominated candidates for the first time
in England In the local campaigns which
closed yesterday, and the wonder is that
they elected anybody, for though they
certainly did not expect to, they actually
captured six seats in various places.
They did succeed, however, in changing
the whole complexion of the municipal
bodies. They split in half the antl
unlonist vote of the country and the re
sult was a great unionist triumph, al
though the successful unionist candidates
In most cases received considerably short
of a majority of the votes cast, and the
emptiness of the unionist success thus be
comes apparent.
It by no means follows that socialism
is destined to capture England. On the
contrary, the opposite prophecy is a safe
one. ' It does signify, however, that the
political situation in this country l.as
entirely changed and socialism is to be
come a great national issue. The leaders
of both the old parties realize this fully.
Lord Balfour proclaimed It In his appeal
a few weeks ago, when he called on citi
zens of all parties to organize to meet It
The machinery of both the unionist and
liberal parties is in a condition of demor
alization and disintegration, and there is
no real leadership on either side.
The question of the hour is whether the
leaders and the rank and file sufficiently
understand the emergency to be willing
to abandon old party lines and reorganize
to meet the grave issue which the coun
try must face sooner or later. There is
less hope of this at the present time in
conservative England than there would
be In alert America. The average Eng
lishman is not prompt to foresee political
dangers, but he Is more alive than usual
to this emergency. No British political
situation ever possessed more world-wide
Interest than this, and Its development
will command as much attention In other
lands as In this.
HUMT FOR PIRATE'S GOLD
Latrobe's Treasure Object of Voyage
to Caribbean Sea.
LONDON. Nov. 2. There is a flavor of
Stevenson's "Treasure Island" in the story
of two Liverpool men. Captain Small and
a companion, who have recently reached
Bermuda in quest of a pirate's treasure,
which is believed to be worth anything
from a quarter of a million to a million
and a half.
Intrepid voyagers that they are. they
set out from the Mersey port in, a little
craft named the Catherine, which, though
possessed of splendid sailing qualities, is
only 51 hi feet in length, with a 15-foot
beam, and Is one of the smallest sailing
vessels" of modern times that have ever
attempted the trans-Atlantic voyage from
the European side.
Captain Small and his companion, who
left Liverroo' -m June 7, arrived at Ber
muda on September 16, after an exciting
voyage. "
They reached the Azores on July 21,
and after repairs started again on Aug
ust 1. On August 18 a cyclone struck
them, and the sea ran 25 feet high. Mak
ing for Bermuda, the were becalmed for
24 days; during which time provisions ana
water ran short. The two men were
practically starving when they fell In
with a Booth liner.
The object of the quest is believed1 to ba
burled in one of the many islands which
t'ud the Carlbbftn Sea. It is said that
some 30 years ago a doctor named David
son, while attending an old seaman dur
ing a voyage from Hawaii to San Fran
cisco, was mad the confidant of his pa
tient, who told hijo 'hat In 1808, when th
seaman was a lud, his vessel was cap
tured by the notorlo pirate. Latrobe.
Latrobta was after -d captured anfl ex
ecuted at Jamaica. iut before his death
he gave to the young sailor whom he had
taken prisoner papers describing the spot
where the treasure had been hidden.
Thus as an old man he still retained
possession of the documents, and on his
death he confided to Dr. Davidson, his
story.
Since that day no organized attempt
has been made to recover the treasure,
but now it is hoped to be possible, with
the help obtained locally, to locate th
treasure and. bring it home.
WOMAN THE JUNGLES
Mrs. Mary Hall Daring Explorer in
v - -. Darkest Africa.
LONDON, Nov. 2. Miss Mary Hall,
whose daring adventures through' the
African continent have Just come from
the press, is an English woman of the
same dogged type as Lady Stanhope of
historical memory. For a solitary woman
to pursue the adventurous calling of ex
plorer, and to make a daring "trek" from
the Cape to Cairo, is no small achieve
ment. Her first essays in travel were made in
search of health. "When she recovered
her strength and energy she had formed
the wandering habit. It led her in a few
years over the best part of the civilized
world.
- lrf 1804 she was one of the first travelers
on the. new railway which Is popularizing
the Victoria Falls, and she fell under the
spell of that mysterious continent. She
resolved to penetrate the wilds between
the great lakes and push her way through
to the Soudan alone, because of the dif
ficulty she knew she would have in get
ting thoroughly congenial companionship.
Of course, she had necessary guides and
bearers. Thus she traveled through thou
sands of miles of forests, plain, river, and
lake.
In remote Uganda she was surprised to
find the boy King playing football, while
many other indications of Western in
fluence were In evidence.
As a marked contrast to th thorny
paths of the earlier explorers of the past.
Miss Hall gratefully acknowledres that
from first to last she met with nothing
but courtesy from native chiefs and Sul
tans. In fact, news that the "Jungle
woman" was approaching was sufficient
for the high dignitaries of the village
to turn out to honor her coming.

MAY BE KING OF CONGO
Belgian Ruler Would Give Scepter
to Son of Mistress.
LONDON, Nov. 3. Truth's Paris cor
respondent reports:
"Tongues are now busy with the
King of the Belgians, who Is believed
to have left Larmoy by the grand gate
a few weeks ago, to return by a more
private entrance, and to be making
preparations to secure the'emplre of
Congo to an infant which is perambu
lated there under the eyes of the lady
whom he has appointed chatelaine.
"The morganatic union does not exist
in Belgium, and the present dynasty Is
too young to have formed precedents
that might limit the King's, choice In
taking a second wife.
"Public opinion might be a check to
Inclination, but the Belgians have been
far more passive than enthusiastic In
accepting Princesses imported from
abroad for their future Queens. How
ever, there can be no doubt as to His
Majesty's unlimited personal power In
the Congo Free State.
"I described to you not long ago the
Chateau de Larmoy and the security it
affords for complete privacy. But for
the quarrel between the chatelaine and
her chef and his statements before a .
Judge de paix and to Interviewers there
had been no Indication of the domestic
fellclty-the chateau shelters. .V
Head of Corpse His Mascot.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 2. Two men
living at Kamenka, a small town In the
Lyublin district, quarreled a few days
ago. Thereupon one of them informed
the local police that his enemy had vio
lated a grave in the Jews' cemetery last
year and cut off a corpse's head, which
he was treasuring in his house as a "sure
means of causing his ewes to be fruit
ful at the lambing season."
The police searched the building and
house of the former and found the
corpse's head in a barn. The sanguine
sheepbreeder made a full confession.
Bale Water With Boot.
LONDON, Nov. 2. The crew of four
of the Sunderland steam tug Devonla,
which was wrecked near Seaham Har
bor, had an exciting experience. They
took to a small dingy, In which they
rowed for an hour and a half. A heavy
sea was running, and they had to bale
for their lives, one of them being re
duced to the expedient of baling out
the water with his boot. Finally they
fell in with two fishermen In a coble,
who guided them to Seaham Harbox.
