dead man, packed in barrel, was
found at the river this evening near
the Little Miami depot. A coroners
inquest tonight developed nothing

manner that indicated it to have been
a subject for clandestine dissection,

seen it, and who know Samuel Little,
of Nashville, that it is his body. Lit
tie came from Nashville to this city to
attend the Convention of May LIST, and

yraphed.

The Labor Strikes.

NEW York, June 6.-Considerable
anxiety existed in the establishments
where the workingmen arc out on a
strike, and the police reserves were
in readiness for any emergency from
q o'clock yesterday morning, and men
were constantly detailed from the va
rious precincts to places menaced by
the strikers. A collision was at one
time imminent at the Broadway and
University Place car depot. During
the confusion which occurred on the
proposition for the drivers to strike,
one driver became violent and was ar
rested.
At meeting of the Board of Po-
lice yesterday a communication was
received from the Eight-Hour League,
stating that the members intended to
parade on the 10th inst, and asking
for police escort.
The police were compelled to inter
ferc to protect the workingmen to-day
from strikers. Threats were also
made against the workmcn on the pub
lie sewers, but those at work say they
will kill any one interfering with them
The rock -blastcrs, who struck work on
the public sewer at East Nincty-third
street, threaten to destroy the steam
drill and drive Of the few men ut
work with it. The coach painters
were also threatening the men at work
in the factories, and it is feared the
striking workmen will attack the gas
works. All the of platoous Of police

Washington, d. c., June IA
report prevailed to-day that England
has accepted the additional article to
the treaty of Washington. This re-
port may have been founded on the
remarks made last night in the House
Of Lords, which gave promise Of such
n result. No official information had
been received up to late hour to-
night confirming the report. Gentle
men in official positions have, however,
through Minister Schenck such in
formation as leads them to believe the
article will be accepted with the ex.
PLANTATION given the British Ministry
by the authority of our Government
in relation to the consequential dam
ages. Should the article be accepted
it will be embodied in the form of a
treaty, to be negotiated by Secretary
Fish and Mr.. Edward Thornton, and
then sent to London for the Sovereign's
signature. The Arbitrators at Geneva
can adjourn soon after their meeting
on the 18th inst, to meet again as
soon as the document shall reach
them and thereafter continue their
business without further impediment

Advices from all parts of Michigan
represent the crop prospects greatly
improved by the recent rains, and all
fears of a disastrous drought are at an
end. In some localities the wheat was
looking very bad, but even from these
the word is now that the crop is visi-
bly, deferred by the rains, and promis-
es a good yield, if not very abundant
one. In the districts where the forest
fires made most havoc, the rain has
been especially grateful, and the
scourged farmers are taking heart
again to rebuild their injured fortunes.

plish, strikes An immense meeting.
of furniture workmen was held to-day,

of workmen from Chicago, the latter

The proposition for a monster pa
rade by the Eigth- Hour League Mon
day next will probably be adopted
If carried out over 40, 900 workingmen
will parade, as this number have struck
since June LIST. OF this number some
$1,000 to 10000 remain idle, aud will
probably remain so as long as their
savings hold out, unless the bosses con-
EIDE their demands. Some apprehen-
ions are felt lest they resort to mob
'iolence, which would result to sum-
nary repression by the authorities,
Who are fully prepared for all emcrg-
ncies.
Considerable excitement prevails in
