The writer asserts that Herr Krnpp sub scribed 5,000 marks to the fund con stituting the alleged bribe. The Na tional Zeitungb says it expects that Count von Po8adowsky-eliner will resign, and nearly all the papers con demn hira severely.

Montreal, Oct. 29. Over a scort were wounded, one fatally, in a con flict between militia and strikers at Valley Field, Quebeo, today. Two hundred men employed by the Montreal Cotton Company on the foundations of a new mill, wont out on strike yesterday, demanding an in crease of 25 cents a day in their pay. The company refused to deal with the union. The strikers prevented the company from shipping goods and to day held up the company a coal pile, The looal police were powerless. The company had to have oual or shut down. Consequently a message was sent to Monti eal asking for military assistance. It arrived at Valley Field at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon and con listed of two companies of the Royal Scots. The embargo on the coal pile iwa promptly raised. At dusk a bis crowd, composed of strikers and their sympathizers, gatb ered and there was every evidence of trouble. .About 8:30 the mob gathered near the Empire mill and began throw ng stones through the windows and otherwise destroying property. The troops charged the mob with fixed bay' pneta. They were driven hack. Eight pf their number weie wounded, two of them seriously. The strikers had 15 men injured, one fatally. Reinforce ments were then asked from Montreal kind 300 men with medical assistance, left, sxpecting to arrive at Valley Field about A.

All the evening papers comment pon the official administration. The entire Liberal press now demands the resignation ol PosadowskyWehner, and Director von Woedtke, the assump tion being that the latter doubtless acted at the suggestion of the former. The Berliner Tagoblatt says: "The sole consequence of the official state tnont is that both most resign.' A similar demand is made by the Vos- siche Zeitung, which remarks: "It is an unheard of proceeding thai a govern ment department should request ana receive large sums from one small sec tion of a population directly interested in pending legislation for the purpose of influencing the nation against such leiiislittlon." The only papers whion attempt to defend the secretary of state for the in terior are the Berliner Post, the Kreuz Zeitunir and the Berliner Nachrichten, whose justification of his course in the matter is weakly apologetio. SOUTHERN BOXERS. Kioto's Plans. Paris. Oct. 29. Dr. Leyds, Trans vAitl at-ent was Questioned today with reference to the plans of ex-President IKruger.

Nothing has beer definitely decided as to the details ol Kruger's stay in Europe. But Mr, Kruger is an old man and not acctis tomed to a cold climate, so it is likely he will sojourn in the neighborhood ot Nice for the Wwinter. Annexation of the Transvaal. Pretoria, Oct. 29.

The clerks have affiliated themsolvfS wth the Amercao Federaton of Labor, and the new oreanzaton will be known as the Chloago Postoffice Clerks' Union It is claimed that practically all of the 1,400 postoffice employes in Chicago are included in the movement Foremost among the objects for which the new union is to strive will be the adoption of the eight-hour working day (or letter-carriers. Another object to bo given almost equal prominence will be the agitation in favor of federal leg Islatiou that will fix absolutely the rate of wanes for letter-carriers and othc postoffice employes, taking the matter completely out of the bands of the "Promotion Board" and other Bimila aueucie. It is to be a labor union pure and simple, and will direct its ef forts solely to the problem of bettering the lot of the rank and file of the post office epniloyes Admission of Chinese.
