Poor Prospects for the Eight Hour Move ment in England. It la very doubtful If any progress wi 11 be made In Great Britain thin seas m In regard to the eight-hoar movement Legislators are for the most part chary of It, the oonntry ia not ready for It, and the movement itself cannot be sal J to be popular. In cer tain branches of labor, especially In mining, an eight-hour law might be available and promote the welfare of the men; but In any employment such a law would be felt to be a distinct in terference with the rights of the working classes. As a mass the latter do not regard the movement with much favor, and few of ' their representatives! are agitating with a view of its ccomitlisbment. The few membersof Parliament who have undertaken to father the movement, have but little real influence, that of Lord llau (olph Churchill, one of its pronounced pr -meters, having decidedly waned since his recent attack Uon the (lovernment. It is felt that a voluntary move ment in lavor of eight hours as a working day would be a grand thing, und would do much to uid the c n lition of the working classes, but compulsory law would work untold evil, and cu-ry much distress In its train. Modifications of the bill are being considered by many labor repre sentatives, wi o are endeavoring to solve the question of how to benelit some without harming other". Mr. Cunningham (iruhiuu Intends, when tho londoii ant .Northwest ern Ibkilwuy bill comes up for a s.-cond read ing, to move that it be an instruc tion to tho committee nn the bill to insert a clause limiting the hours of labor to eight per day, but not ex cluding working in shafts of eight hours. Iluilrouding and mining are two employ ments Iu which the measure can safely be applied, as the arduous and trying nature of the work renders it imp issible for a man to faithfully perform more than eight hours consecutive labor- It is in eseclul ca-es like these that the promoters expert to launch the movement, and then extend its applica tion as necessity uud opurtuudy arise. The West Virginia oil fields are the scenes of very II rely operations. Whenever a well is strui k there it generally turn out a good one, and dry holes are not large in number. The largest well in the Weit Virginia fields is the Island gusher ut F.ureka, that is now doing 700 barrels aday a di-cidcd increase in tho lout few days. The heuvy output of the three new wells recently brought in has proved too much for the pipe line from the Furfka field to Parkersburg, and oil from tlio "Two Brothers' '' well is now being tanked at the rate of G 0 barrels a duy. All the tauk cars in the territory are in use. The pipe Hue managers announce that they will immediately lay a G inch line from Tel tuoiit or Eureka to Pittsburgh. nOW BISMARCK WAS OUSTED.
