JUDGE BARRETT, of New York city
rendered a decision, June 4th, in which he
holds the railway law of the Long Ilore
Union Protective association making it com
pulsory on members not to work for less
than 40 cents per hour as void, as being
against public policy, and that members of
the association dismissed for its violation
must be renstated. This decision affects
500 members of the union, expelled for dis
obedience of said law, as well as trades
unions generally.

THE annual meetings of the Nashua
and Jackson Manufacturing Companies were
held at Boston, June 1st. The former for
the first time in nineteen years passed its
semi-annual dividend. The semi-annual
making up of the cotton manufacturing
companies is less favorable, generally, than
was anticipated. Several which passed
their last semi-annual dividends now make
3 per cent, but others are still unable to
make any dividend. The large Amoskeag
| Company makes 4 per cent. dividend, but
it is understood that less than one per cent
! has been earned, and the remainder has
been taken from the surplus.

DESTRUCTIVE TIDAL WAVE.

The town of Calao, on the south Pacific
coast, was visited by tidal wave on the 10th
of May, which inflicted immense damage
Docks and piers were carried away and
considerable damage was inflicted on the
shipping. The wave is known TO have ex-
tended as far south as the northern bounda-

almost complete destruction of Antofagusta,

THE letter to Gen. Sherman from the
secretary of war is understood to mean that
the military on the Texas border need not
wait until the Mexican Government is heard
from before pursuing the marauders over
the lines, but it is construed as giving per-
mission to General Ord when in pursuit of
robbers TO cross over if he thinks he can
catch them in a reasonable time if he is in
sight of them or following fresh trail, 1t is
considered reasonable for him to go a days
march into the Mexican country.
ALL representations on the subject of
the Chisholm massacre have been referred
to Attorney-General Devens, who will ex-
anime the laws for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether there is any authority for the
federal courts TO interfere. The secretary
OF state takes a part in the investigation
only from the fact that the British authori-
ties complain that one of the parties mas
sacred was British subject.
The cabinet on the Doth inst, deter
mined that letter should be addressed to
the Mexican government by the secretary of
state notifying that government that it
must take immediate steps to prevent raids
across the Rio Grande into Texas otherwise
our military commander in Texas will be
instructed to follow marauders into Mexico
and punish them upon that territory The
action of the cabinet does not involve the
question of the formal recognition of the
Diaz government, but merely deals with il
as the only party that can be addressed
Some weeks must necessarily elapse before
4 response to our demand can be received,
and hence there is not likely to be any i'm
mediate invasion of Mexican soil by United
States troops.

ACCORDING to Brussels journal, the
thread used in making the costliest de-

of such exquisite tineness as to necessi-
tate its being spun in dark, underground

ciently moist to prevent the thread from
separating or spread. 1t is so delicate as
scarcely to be visible, and the room is
so arranged that all the light admitted
shall fall upon the work. The finest

the labor of seven persons on one piece,
and each operator is employed at distinct

words, on any white who is the lessor or

asks if this tax can be legally imposed,
and also whether the Indians are allowed
to employ citizens of the United States as
laborers. While some retrictions are
made by the laws of the United States

nothing to prevent the Indians from en-

points which the superintendent has said he
would repeat, were brought before the teach
ers:
IsT He could not see how teachers could
be successful in the higher grades and not
study their lessons. Many of the teachers
did not study their work, made no prepara-
ton of points TO be brought up before their
classes and the result was that there was not
satisfactory work being done in the grammar
grades. Too many were teaching in ruts I;
were too ready To be told and not Willing 10
work out their own plans. The SupeTiEIen-

the American Bridge Company at Chicago
tor a permanent pier and approach span, and
the work will commence at once. The
company are nov making arrangements
for the primary work. and the machinery
for sink ing the pier will commence arriving
early next week. BY the tone of the dis
patch, il would seem that the company have
determined To sink pier and put IN another
short span, plan that is AT once available =,

yond the cavil of a doubt.
1t is estimated that the work will be COM
pleted in about ninety days time, and re-
quire an outlay of between $1,000 and SiO, 600.
