The oil cloth manufacturing strike
resulted in going to work at ten hours.
The locomotive works and machine
shops at Patterson, Nd, have been
closed consequent upon the strike OF
some six hundred men. The closing of

open their shops until the men are

The indications are that the striking
iron founders of this city and Brooklyn

The Heralds Geneva special states
that the adjournment of last Wednes-
day till tomorrow was made on the
understanding that if dispatches ar
rived from Washington ut an Garlic,
date the court would be Immediately
convened. Dispatches arrived and ac-
cordingly the court was summoned, but
as the meeting was late the proceed
ings were limited to the formal presen-
tation of papers, and an agreement
made to discuss them fully on Thurs
day. A summary of the position is as
follows: The United States withdraws
nothing of its claims, both parties are
fairly before The tribunal. England,
however, persists in her demand for q
long adjournment.

The Republican State Convention i.
called for August 2lst. The call is Is
sued just two months before the day
appointed for the sitting OF the Com
vention.
About May 10th the Chairman ol
the State Central Committee asked BY
letter for the opinion of the member
Of the Committee from thisscounty, ri
to the time of holding the Convention
and probably this was the time the
responses were given by the members
upon which the Chairman has finally
called the Convention. AT least, we
know that the member from this county
has had no further communication
from the Chairman upon the subject.
1t would therefore appear since the
cali is made SO early that it is pub.
lished at this time, in order to forestall
any reconsideration by members of
the Committee OF their former views.
This Convention, viii beyond ques-
ton be remarkable for two things. viz !:
the time between the publication of
the call and the holding Of the Con-
vention win be the longest, and the
date Of its sitting the latest, ever
known in the history OF the Republi-
can party Of Iowa.
However. il is as. well as we could
make il, aud we accept the situation.
Now, let us rally in County and Con-
gressicnal Districts and I'll the hiatus
left unoccupied by a State canvass,
with perfect Organization and energetic
action.

The German navy has persuasive
way OF collecting debts for its friends,
which is at once effective and speedy.
1t seems that the Haytien government
owed some debts of Indemnity to Ger
man merchants in Hayti, and refused
to pay them. The matter was put in
to the hands Of a German fleet, which
proceeded to Ortau Prince, lombard
cd tho town for several hours,
captured the Haytien fleet, and receiv-
ed, through this novel way of present
ing a'bill, $4,000 on account. The
Germans then sailed away, having the
Haytiens better educated in and i'm
pressed with the Importance of.
thorough business habits.
