LoxDOir, August 31. Copyright.
Monday will be a memorable day forXon
don. There is no doubt sow that the great
strike will be augmented on tha't day Jjy a
general strike of the trades unions of the
metropolis. Inquiries among the leaders of
the trades only result in non-committal
answers, but the general belief is that a
great majority of the workingmen ot Xon.
don will respond to the call of the Dock
Laborers' Union. It is said that one-half
of the trades union men will strike on
Monday, and that the other bait will sup
port the strikers; irnt Burns, the leader of
the entire movement, refuses- to give any
direct answer to the question of how many
of the trades have committed themselves.
Nevertheless, enough of the trades have
promised assistance to render the strike the
most formidable movement ever encountered.
All that standi between this tremendous
Upheaval and a settlement is the obstinacy
if Charles Morgan Norwood, Chairman of
the dock companies. Norwood simply has
tils back up and will not give in. He has
ihe opinion ot the entire press and people
against him, but he would see the commerce
of London ruined, the shipping companies
and dock owners forced into bankruptcy,
and the families of the strikers driven to
starvation rather than acknowledge himself
beaten. Norwood was formerly a well
v known member of Parliament. He has al
ways called himself a Liberal, buthas often
voted with the Tories, and naturally enough
went into the Liberal-Union camp. He was
defeated at the last election by Shaw Le
fevre, m spite of a full Conservative vote.
EMBODIMENT OP CAPITALISM.
He is in appearance the embodiment of
well-fed and arrogant capitalism, and has al
ways treated and considered workingmen as
a lower order of beings; consequently it is
scarcely to be wondered at that he refuses
even at tremendous cost and in spite of
tremendous responsibility to give way to
the demands of the strikers. It was thought
to-day that a compromise would surely be
effected, since the dock companies had con
ceded the embodiment of the claims of the
strikers. "While Norwood still refused to
give way on the sixpence per hour clause,
he admitted everything else, but the near
ffest he would come to the great thorn of con
, Itentio-i was that pay for casual work was
jtjbe sixpence per hour for the first four
hours, if only working that time; 'if for
longer than that at the rate of i. shillings
for nine hours, and sixpence per hour from
, 9 to 12 hours, with allowance of half an
hour ior dinner.
It was believed that this compromise
would be accepted, but the strikers were too
much elated by the sympathy they have re-
ceived and the prospect of a general strike
1 .;on Monday to accede.
THE POUJfD or i4esh.
Burns again declared that the men would
accept nothing short of sixpence per hour,
and the abolition of the contract system.
He announced that he had this morning
received 100 from the Society of Compos
itors; 250 lrom the Seamen's, Firemen's
and Dock Laborers' Union, of Melbourne,
Australia; 200 from Samuel Plimsoll and
25 from Lady Ripon, besides a large num
ber of smaller contributions. The boxes
that the strikers carry through the streets
are also contributed to largely. Neverthe
less, the following notice was posted on the
door of the Central Committee headquarters
at noon to-day:
TUB Executive Committee n-irret that nn
further relief can be Kiven for the present.
A party of newspaper reporters were es
corted over the East and "West India docks
. this morning by a member of the dock com
panies' committee, in order to prove to the
public that strikers were returning to work.
The newspaper men reported, however, that
out of 100 vessels only eight were being un
loaded,,and the strikers claim that these
men only worked for a few moments. The
,, reporters were present in consideration of
' the"exorbitant pay.
The strikers will hoia two great mass
meetings to-morrow, one at 10 o'clock on the
Thames embankment and the other at 1
o'clock in Hyde Park. Theyare still under
otire control, and cases of intimidation and
riolence are few. Those who are fonnd
guilty of these offenses receive severe sen
dees at the hands of the magistrates, three
nths at hard labor being the minimum
nishment. Still London looks forward
Monday with no little anxiety.
.JTHE 8WEATIXQ COMMITTEE.
ce long smouldering discontent of the
laborers' in' ihe London-decki received a
strong stimulus by the revelations before
the Lords' Committee, "on Sweating" last
year. The leaders of the labor movement,
seizing the-opportunity, prosecuted a cam
paign in the East-End and fanned the em
ber; of discontent until the .dockmen,
roused from the lethanry induced by their
sordid surroundings, submitted to the guid
ance of Burns,' their champion, and other
active spirits, their concerted action leading
to the present crisis. This was only1 done
slowly, the conditions under which labor is
employed especially the large overplus of
workers anxiously fighting at the dock!
gates each morning to obtain even a few
hours' employment rendering it impossible
to take decisive action until the workmen
wereihlly prepared. The continuance of
the strike for 17 days and the strikers' de
termined attitude now show that the leaders
carefully calculated the probable course of
the movement before notice of the strike was
formally given! r
Interviews had to-day with police officials,
Coroner's officers and other functionaries;
whose duties bring them into dally contact
with the dockmen and those of allied em
ployments, show that for years past the con
dition of the dockmen's families has been
as bad as any of the worst cases revealed
before the Sweating Committee. '
"Wades Arms, a typical East End tavern,
on Jeremiah street, a .narrow thoroughfare
abutting on the East India -dock road, is at
present the headquarters of the Strike Com
mittee, and is likely to become' the center of
a movement in behalf of labor, the rami-
.fications of which will touch every British
employer anot capitalist. ,
To-day the employes of Yarrow & Co.,
who are under a heavy contract to supply
the Government -with torpedo appliances,
struck, while 6,000 ironworkers at the Isle
ot Dogs have gone out for an advance of six
pence. The dock laborers on strike number
110,000. As an immediate sequence of their
cessation 20.000 stevedores, 6,000 lightermen,
2,000 clerks and nearly -50,000 grainweigh
ers and laborers are conyiulsorily idle.

try his hand on big v game, and to emulate
the example of his father, who proved him-,
self a nervy hunter and good shot in India
many years ago. Thus far in his ,young
career Albert Victor has never had an op-
portunityto bring down anything larger
than a stag. Preparations arer al
ready being made to secure- d
sufficient supply of big game, and
the best tiger preserves are to be'left aniniP
lested until the arrival of the royal hunter.
There isverv little danger, however", -that
England will be desolated by the loss of
Albert Victor, or that a prince of the blood
will fall'a prey to a king of the jungle. He
will be accompanied by an army of ele
phants and beaters, and when the game is
sprung the rifles of a score of expert marks
men will be kept fixed upon the beast until
the Princeling's gun goes off. As a general
thing, on these occasions the frightened
tiger bends all his enertrios to escaping, but

AMERICANS WANT A CHANCE.
New York Unions Trying to Freczo Ont
Foreign Workmen.
tSFECIAL TELEOEAM TO THE D1SPATCH.1
New York, August 31. Some of the
labor unions in this country have had until
quite recently an arrangement whereby a
member of a union in the old country be
comes a member of the union in this coun
try by simply depositing his card of mem
bership in the foreign union and $1 as t-ans-fer
fee. The unions here are kicking over
this arrangement sajing it affords an op
portunity to many workingmen to work on
the two continents, to the disadvantage of
the permanent residents. Hence a great
number of unions are considering a change
which will prevent any foreigner from
working at his trade here. The Goldbeat
ers' Union has already raised its transfer lee
to $100, and not u goldbeater has come here
since.
Charles E. McLeod, Secretary of the New
Yorfe Goldbeaters' Protective Union said
to-day:
Onr union, which is composed of 300 men,
feels Itself capable of beating all the gold that
this country needs. In the past goldbeaters
have come from England and Germany and
trained employment here, displacing our own
workingmen and tending to reduce Mages. As
anyone can see, the coming of 15 or 20 gold
beaters would nearly upset our union. Notifl.

was sent all over Europe. We don't want tho
money of tbe foreigners. Wo want them to
stay away from here. We are trying now to

Bigler', of Clearfield county, will in all
probability be nominated for State Treas
urer bythe Democrats on "Wednesday next.
So far as learrted'-thare-has been no opposi
tion shown to what is Regarded ns the real
wish of the party .leaders in this respect,
with tlie exception of the fight in Allegheny
county, where the leaders in, control of that
county's organization made a fight against
Bigler's nomination. But it is charged that
ihe -fight made in Allegheny was; because of
the desire, ot -certain Democratic leaders
there to punish Bigler for refusing to ap
point their particular friends to office dur
ing his administration of the duties of the
office of Collector of Internal Bevenue at
Pittsburg. ' k
The friends, of Bigler argue
that no
tention should be paid to the opposition to
Bigler's nomination, from Allegheny county,
as they say it is pot of a. nature calculated
to injure him -at tho: polls with thinking
citizens. They.claitn that when the true
cause of tho opposition to .Bigler is shown
at the convention that- the leaders of the
movement will be. ashamed to father it. It
is asserted that Wallace, Harrity, Hensel,
Scott, and the leaders of the party generally,
favor Bigler's nomination and that even
those who are unfriendly to it will acquiesce
in the hope that the unanimous, or nearly
so, nomination of their candidate will
greatly promote the strength. of the Demo
cratic party.
BABK1S IS WlXLIN'.
Mr. Bigler' has been In this city twice
during the past -week, rand has consulted
with State Chairman Kisner and other party
leaders,. and while he ha declined to admit
ior publication that lie, is a candidate for
the nomination, yet by those with whom he
has been in consultation it is well under
stood that he is willing to accept the nomi
nation and make the fight.
TheHepublicansand Prohibitionists hav

will await developments.
Inquiry among the Republicans in this
city showed that the present dynasty will
await further developments before taking
any action, in the hope that there will be
some settlement of the difficulties now exist
ing regarding the distribution ot patronage.
The party workers, as a rule, follow the ad
vice of the more experienced leaders, and
soma of the wiser ones say that Filler's
declaration for Hastings will force Quay to
make an alliance with McManes.
This, they claim, will enable the
McMane workers to secure some
of the places, and make Boyer's majority
tu Philadelphia something tobe proud
'of, and his election by a large majority a
dead certainty. The"-Prohibition leaders
say they have no hope of electing their
candidate, but they claim that they will
poll a vote which will surprise the leaders
of the old parties. They are of the opinion
that their vote will not be less than 60,000,
which, they hold, will be more than enough
to defeat the Republican candidate.
Democratio hope is caused by what the
Prohibitionists say, ttnd the Democratic
leaders are inclined tobelieve that the third
party vote will reach fully 60,000. They
claim that if they are not disappointed in
their expectations from that direction, that
with the assistance which they think will
be given them by disappointed Republicans,
they will be able twwrest the treasurer's
office from Republican hands.
count on disaffection.
The Democratic party leaders of this city
do not hesitate to say that they expect to
make their candidate a winner. They will
tell that there are thousands of Republicans
who will .vote for the Democratic candidate
this year who wonld not do so but that it is
an off year and they are anxious to have a
change made in thq office of State Treasurer,
in order that a complete overhauling of the
State finances may be had. It will take a
few weeks for the arrangement of the pre
liminaries, and a six weeks' campaien at
the outside, it is said, will be the limit of
time in the coming November fight.
The Democratio State Committee will
meet Monday afternoon at Harrisburg. A
number of plans for the betterment of the
Democratio party organization will be pre
sented, and tbe leaders will recommend
their adoption by the State Convention.
Chairman Kisner, will preside, and his
friends claim that notwithstanding his ill

rB?CIAL TZLEO&Ait tO TUB DISPATCH.
Lawrence, Mass, August 81. John
McDonald has arrived home from a novel
trip to Europe. He is about 24 years oi
age, and came home last June from the
United States steamship Nipsic, which went
down in the storm at Samoa. "Since then he
has been at work about town. Toward the
last of July he was relating his experiences
to a coterie of friends, and the talk turning
upon the cost of traveling, McDonald
entered into a wager with., a friend named
Thomas Kennedy. The wager was that
McDonald could go to Europe and back as
quickly as Kennedy, neither men to pay n
cent of fare from the moment he left Law
rence until he returned.
Kennedy left here ior Boston July 22. and
McDonald left two days later, going down
on a freight train. Alter hanging around
the wharves awhile he stowed himself away
upon a cattle boat, the Borderer, bound to
I-indoc After two days he. showed himself
en deck, arid, although tbe captain was
angry at first, he allowed him to work his
passage over. The vessel touched at Dept
ford, and from there McDonald rode on a
tram car to London.
In the "Whitecbapel district, after wan
dering around London two days, McDonald
met Kennedy and the two went to Liver
pool. Returning to London McDonald
stowed himself away on the Milanese of
the Furness line, and Kennedy employed
tlje same tactics on another boat of the same
line. After two days McDonald again ap
peared, and was allowed to work his pass
age. In 18 days .he arrived in Boston,
Thursday afternoon. That evening at 730
o'clock he stole into a freight carton the
Boston and Maine Railroad, and thus
reached home. .
Kennedy has not yet arrived, so that Mc
Donald wins his-wager.
ALL QUIET AT HONOLULU.
The Lenders of the Recent Rebellion Aro
Confined In Prison.
San Francisco, August 31. The
steamer Zealaudia arrived lrom Australia,
New Zealand and Honolulu this afternoon.
It was considered probable here that Ad
mirable Kimberly would arrive from
Samoa, but the steamer brought no Samoan
passengers. Advices from Honolulu state
that affairs have been quiet there since the
revolution, July 30. Robert "Wilcox,
leader of the insurgents, ind others who
were arrested, were given a preliminary ex
amination in the police court on charge of
treason, conspiracy, riot and unlawful as
sembly, and will be committed for trial at
the next term of the Supreme Court.
The United States man-of-war Nipsic,
which arrived at Honolulu irom Samoa,,an,d
Fanning Island last month is now on ma
rine railway at Honolulu undergoing re
pairs rendered necessary in consequence of
the damase sustained in the Samoa hurri
cane. The officers and men are living
aboard the vessel and repairs are progress

The Lmt Day of August Astonishes Minne

St. Paul, August -Si. The last day of
August has not been by any means the cool
est of the summer. With the single excep
tion of Dulutb, where it seems never to get
unduly hot, the day has been uniformly a
scorcher all over the Northwest. Even last
night was not cool, but tbe mercury sizzled
at 80 and thereabouts during (he night.
This morning it went up to 90 in this city,
while the same temperature is reported from
Huron, S. Dak., and Moorehead, Minn.
Fort Bnfort, Dak., Helena, Mont, and
Bismarek.N. D,,thermometers registered 04,
while at Forts Scully and Custer the mer
cury perspired at 98. These were the figures
of the Signal Service, the local thermometers
generally recording ironvfive to ten degrees
higher. To-night there was little change.
QUITE A DISTINCTION.
The Burden of a Complaint Made to the
Inter-Siato Commission.
Washington, August 31. Messrs.
Hoah and Tichenor have filed a complaint
with the Iuter-State Commerce Commission
against the New YorkrLake Erie and West
ern Railroad Company, alleging that tho
company has charged $31 86 for hauling a
carload of empty nail kegs, weighing 8,820
pounds, from Youngstown, O., to Biagham
ton, N. Y., while at the same time it offers
to transport a carload of nails, v eighing
24,000" pounds, between the same points and
in the same direction for a lesser sum. This,
complainants contend, is a manift-st and
gross injustice, and ask for r'edreas.

The work of. getting it jury tot the Cronld
murder trial is proceeding under . great
diffi cultieey and the counsel .for both sides
'are fighting"everyistepof the way. Not-a
single person has yet been, finally accepted,
although two or three are held condition
ally. ,
fSPXCIAi TKLrOBAU TO TOT DISFATCSU1
Chicago, August 3ll It k evident that ,
the task oi securing competent juror to try'
the five men. indicted for the murder of Dr
P. H, Cronin, will consume the greater .part
of the next fortnight. The grei.t force of
lawyers engaged in toe case has sow spent
nearly two days in examining talesmen,
and when court adjourned this evening not
a juror had been accepted. Young Lilli
bridge, who was held over the night before,
and W. S. Lathrop, who will remain in the
Sheriff's care over Sunday, may be accepted
by both sides, but even thjsjs doubtful.
It is 'evident that neither Irishmen nor
Germans will be allowed in the jury box
when the work of taking testimony begins.
Both'sides are afraid of Irish jurors, and the
defense is unalterably opposed to Get-mans.
It is safe to say that a majority of, the jurors
will be Americans. The temperature in the
court room to-day was far more agreeable
than yesterday. There was a breeze trom
the lake which came into the open windows
and tossed scraps of paper over the tables.
It even picked up the long gray hair of
Senator Kennedy and rolled it' about his
ears.
.DEMEANOR OF THE PRISONERS.
The prisoners looked rnorecoinlortablc
and so did the lawyers and spectators. It'
was still torrid enough, however, to warrant
ihe vigorous use of fans. Burke fanned
himseli almost continually. O'Sullivan,
the sullen ice man, was still morose and in
different to the heat or anything else. Little
Kunze, with his hair plastered to one side,
rolled around in hia chair and talked with
the reporters. .Then bo would lall asleep.
At one time during the day he amused him
self making pinwheels of paper and bkfwing J
tucui aruuuu iug cut vi ujb luau pencil.
Ooughlin and Beggs were in good humor
during the early hour of the session, but the
responses of talesman after talesman, show
ing the intensity ofpopular feeling against
the prisoners, soon orove away the levity.
A Scotland Yard detective sat. somewhere
among the 100 spectators, but nobody seemed
to know where he was or what he looked
like.
The examination of the talesmen was ex
haustive and wearisome, and in some in
stances it took an hour to dispose of one
candidate. Judere Wing, who conducted the
examination for thex defense,: spea.kswfrith'J
freai ueuoeraiion, ana mints a long- time
efore he speaks.
ONE LAVYER BLOCKED.
When he first began to propound his in
geniously worded interrogatories he sought
to draw out from the witness the informa
tion the latter possessed abont facts which
more properly belonged in evidence. The
attorneys for the State, led by Luther
Laflin Mills, made a furious objection to
tbismethod of questioning and were sus
tained by the Court. All the talesmen bad
I-read about the crime in the newspapers.
Some of them had formed opinions which
they swore could not be shaken by any
amount of evidence, while others had
formed opinions whioh could be changed if
the State did not present a very strong case.
Judge Wing was suspicions of the latter
class of talesmen. He questioned them
closely, and used up four oi his 100 peremp
tory challenges in getting rid of a quartet
of sturdy looking men, who sworeMhat
while they might be slightly prejudiced at
the outset, they would be governed solely by
the evidence in the case. W. L. Bigby and
young Roth, who were held over from Fri
day, were excused for cause.
" .Then the State used up one of its peremp
tory challenges, in disposing of J. W.
Bridges. The restof the talesmen who were
excused for cause were A. B. Riohardson,
William H. Cribben, E. J. Hurlbut, A. B.
Hall, J, M. Chase, F. A. Wheeler, Charles
Goodspeed, J. N. Cooper, Edward Schoppe,
H. M. Stoddard, Thomas C. Gabel, H.
Wichert, H. Boss, J-E. Farrell, J. L. Per
kins and George Repp.
PLENTY OF OBJECTIONS.
It was about noon when Mr. Mills ac
cepted Lillibridge, Lathrop, Louis B. Shaw
and Elmer Dick. The detense, after a vig
orous questioning of the candidates, were
lucky enough to secure tbe removal for
cause of both Shaw and Dick. They could
not escape losing peremptory challenges on
John F. Karnstrus, Charles J. Hiles and
William Thorns. Judge Wing was ques
tioning Karnstrus about his prejudice
against the Clau-na-Gael Society, when the
talesman very solemnly declared while "he
had no use for them he wouldn't hang
them for that reason alone." This provoked
loud laughter, which,the bailiffs stifled by
the vigorous rapping of their gavels.
O'Sullivan was so amused at the response
of the frank German that he rolled in his
chair with laughter and hid his face behind
a lau. It was tbe only time the ice man had
laughed since he was brought into court.
Just before court adjourned E. W. Bagley,
a young Irishman, seemed tomake a satis
factory impression on Judge Wing, but he
will undoubtedly be excused ior cause when
the State's Attorney gets after him on Mon
day. A special venire of CO jurors was is
sued to-night. 'Among the prominent spec
tators to-day were Judge Lambert Tree, ex
Minister to Belgium; Judge Fort, of New
Jersey, and Judge Hamilton, of New York.

feel confident ofa victory, and they claim
that the action of Wbitall, Tatem &Co.,of

Master Workman John Coffee, of District
Assembly No. 149, K. of L., said this after
noon: We have not asked for an advance In wages,
as we are perfectly wining to continue the
scale of last year.,, but the Manufacturers'
Association insist onoir a. redaction. We are
'justified in askinz for a continuance of the old
scaie, as tne condition or tne maricet does not
warrant a .change. We are perfectly aware
that tbe price ot glass at tbe present time Is
more favorable to the trade than it was it tbe
close of the "blowing" season, which ended on
June 30. There is also a greatly increased de
mand for bottles, and this, coupled with the
fact that there are now 14 firms who have
agreed to our terms (both as regards; wages
and apprentice regulations), furnishes still
stronger proof that there Is no reason for a
reduction.
Mr. Coffee further denied that there was
any disposition on the part of tbe union -to

JAY GOULD PAT0E8 IT.
He
Thinks the Government Telesrnpb
Scheme is Feaslblo and Profitable.
(SPECIAL TXLXGBAlf- TO Till SI3rATCR.l
Hew Yobk, August 31. Dr. Norvin
Green's visit to Washington and his nego
tiations there with Postmaster General
Wanamaker for a compromise in' the matter
of Government telegraph rates, along with
the establishment of a system of
postal delivery for telegrams, made many
eyes bulge in New York. The fact that the
scheme is indorsed by Jay- Gould as an
entirely feasible one, and one that
would be beneficial to both the public
and the telegraph companies with the impli
cation, which such an endorsement must
give that Mr. Gould is cognizant of, and in
accordance with the negotiations of Dr.
Green and the Postmaster General, is not
calculated to diminish general interest
in the matter. Mr. Gould was enjoying a
cool breeze and a 20-mile landscape, from
tbe piazza of his home at Irvington, and
looking very well and hearty when he re
ceived a Dispatch reporter, he said:
"This matter of the postal delivery
of telegrams is not a new one, by
any means. It has been under
consideration for two or three years nast.
has been carefully discussed, and It is be
lieved to be practicable and advisable. I
think that I can also say that the Postmas
ter General favors such a scheme." The
scheme had been under consideration, Mr.
Gould says, for two or three years or for a
long lime before Mr. Wanamaker had any
thing to do with the Postoffice Department.
ANOTHER COLORED. CADET.
Charles Tonne Passes tho Final Examina

(SPZCIAI. TELIOBAM TO TUS DISrATCH.1
Pouohkeepsie, August 31. Charles
Young, a colored cadet of the first class,
which graduated irom West Point in
June last, failed to pass. He was
given until August 23 to make
up the deficiency. He completed
his work satisfactorily, and was graduated
to-day, and has gone on a leave of absence.
This is the second colored "cadet who has
graduated since Cadet Flipper was given a
diploma. Tbe latter, it will be remembered,
was appointed commissary of subsistence and
later on got into trouble about his accounts
and resigned. It is now stated that he is ad
officer in the Mexican army. Forty-eight
September plebes were examined at the post
to-day, but only lb passed examination.
The rnsh down the river to-day has been
immense. Thirty carloads of people came
down the CaUkill on the Ulster and Dela
ware road, and as many more on the Catskill
Mountain Railroad. The day boat
Albany, going south, has 2,000
pissengers and 600 pieces of bag
gage. The Mary Powell carried hundreds
south this morning and orer l,COO came
uplon her to-night. All tbe cars ot both the
Hudson River and West Shore roads have
been packed with people all day. Steam
boat and railroad men say it is the heaviest
travel on the last day of August they have
seen in years.
