OFFICERS ARRESTED.
Garmnu Soldiers Charged With nn Offense
Against Their Superiors.
Berlin, Oct. 1.—Tho arrest of a large
number of non commissioned officers on
Saturday evoning at the Moabit bar
racks by a detachment of tho Fourth
regiment ot foot guards, is attracting
much attention. Iu oil, about 180 non
commissioned officers and others belong
ing to the chief gunnery school, were
placed under arrest, and were escorted
with forced bayonets to tho Potsdam
railroad station and from there they
were taken to Madgeburg fortress.
The affair, however, was more in the
nature of a students’ , outbreak than of
revolt against superior officers.
Only the oldor men and some 80 non
commissioned officers ore concerned in
the present proceeding, and it is proba
ble that the inquiry ot the military au
thorities into tno affair will prove that a
large number of innocent men were ar
rested. But it would have been diffi
cult to discover the loaders of tho dis
turbance by any method but that which
was adopted.

actmont of tho now tariff law tho in
dustries of tho country havo taken a
sadden movo forward. This statement
is borno ont by reports which ore con
stantly being received from all parts of
tho country at the Democratic head
quarters hero. This revival of business
is not confined to any particular indas
try, but is observed in all lines.
Mr. McKinley, father of the McKin
ley bill, in his speech recently delivered
at Bangor, Me., denied to the Democrat
ic tariff law any virtues whatever. In
the courso of his speech he asked iu
what respoct it was better than tho Ho
publican legislation. "Whoso factories
will it set to work!” he asked. Then
he asserted: "It will not increaso tho
demaud for labor at homo; it will not
start a single factory nt homo.”

swer to Mr. McKinley's queries, and a
reply to his assertions.
