eft, the silk weavers Of Sadburystone, the masons
Of Preston. the bakers of Dublin, the engineers OF
Birkenhead, and the china and earthenware manu-
factuTers OF Stafordshire are all on a strike. The

met makers continue TO strike. The Post ONCE

awarded to the United States by the Board OF Ar
bitration will exceed three million sterling only by

lished a rumor from an unknown source that the
Geneva Tribunal has awarded TO the United States
$50, 600. 900 damages. with interest for nine years
at seven per cent. The report is discredited.

New YORK, Sept. 9.-The London .Nsus Of August
28th says Prince Bismarck doubtless counted the
cost when he resolved on the expulsion of the Jesuits
from Germany, though he knew he was dealing with
an o der which has evidently ~perplexcd or bafied
the arts of the ablest statesman in Europe. It il
now announced that the law to enforce the departure
Of the Jesuits has led to popular riots in Rbenish
Prussia. In the mining and manufacturing town Of
Essen. the Roman Catholics resolved TO back mp the
protests Of their Bishops against the new Law, by
organizing a ~torchlight procession in honor Of the
expelled Fathers on the evening of their departure.
To allow n public manifestation against the law would
have been very unlike the Prussian authority, so the
procession was forbidden. The prohibition resulted
on Friday last in n riot. The mob attacked and
destroyed several houses, and were proceeding 10
greater lengths when two battalions Of soldiers ar
rived and put a stop to the proceedings. On Sun
day, however, the disturbances were renewed and
the soldiers were compelled to charge the crowd.
Order was not restored until n considerable number
of rioters had been wounded.

lister, il expected here to-day.

pounds to curry favor with them, and they modestly
settlement of claims for which. G few weeks ago, il
was affirmed. England is neither legally OF morally
bound.
