STRIKES AND RIoTs FEARED.-A A
Wilkesbarre letter in the New York
Tribune gives the conversation of gen
tleman engaged in manufacturing busi-
ness in one of the northern cities OF Penn
sylvania. He says 1.-THE chances are
that we shall have much more serious
trouble within the next two months than
that which came upon us unexpectedly y
last summer. Preparations are being
made for simultaneous strike all over
the country-on the railroads, at the
mines, in many Of the largest manufact-
urng establishments nothing but
the utmost vigilance on the part of the
State authorities, and such preparations
rs will make ii possible TO crush out such
a movement instantly, will prevent one of
the worst calamities that has ever befalen
this country. The 18th Of June had been
actually fixed upon for the strike, and the
outbreak would certainly have taken
place then, or soon after, but for the
preparations made to preserve the peace
by Governor Hartranft."

A MOUNTAIN OF TIN.-Tasmanie, or
Van Dieman's Land, the large island to
the south Of Australia, is>rapidly becom-
ing noted for the quality and extent Of its
tin supplies. Four years ago the value of
its exports Of tin and tin ore was S35, 900,
while last year they amounted to nearly
sl,50o,o00. One of the most productive
regions is the Mount Bischoff district, but
this has now been ecipsed by the discov-
cry Of u tin mountain at Mount Heem-
skrk, on the west coast. The wash
dirt" is some twenty feet thick, and pro-
dnces about 25 per cent. of tin; but the
existence of solid seams of The metal, ira
versing the mountains in veins several
feet IN depth and width, has been demon
stratod. Some nuggets" weighing sew.
sral hundred weight each have been found
yielding nearly cent per cent of pure met

quantity of gold, about ten ounces TO the
ton, not sufficient in itself TO render it
worth seeking, but adding considerably

THE HOTEL TRIcK.-The latest piece
OF villainous invention introduced at the
East is styled the hotel trick, and it has
recently been practiced with more or less
success in two or three notable instances.
1t is modification of desperate game
that was attempted in this city something
over two years ago. On that occasion a
young man of fpersuasive address laid n
cunning plot TO entce we'll known capi-
talist of the city 10 his room in the Palace
Hotel on the pretext of arranging the Sc
curity for loan, but with the real design
of perpetrating violence and robbery, as
made clear by subsequent occurrences.
The capitals. declined the invitation,
with the intimation that he did business
at his own office and not in private rooms
at notes.-the discretion saving him a
crack on the head and from being relieved
of some portion OF his spare capital. The
efficacy of tho Eastern improved hotel
trick is enhanced by the employment of
female Establishments, and the capitalist
so far experimental upon have been per-
suaded to suspend their rules OF business.
if they had any, bearing on such cases, and
consented TO negotiate loans in the upper
stories of hotels. Once in the meshes
the remainder of the trick is simple
enough. The victim is shown the open
end of a revolver and persuaded to dis
robe himself, while the seductive but
treacherous customer locks him in and
goes off with his clothes and whatever
vsluabes they may contain. The dra-
matte tone OF the trick is sometimes high
tened by enforcing the signing of Il check
by the same means, and the victim is
kept a captive until the money is secured.
There are number Of large hotels in
San Francisco, luxuricusly appointed for
the habitation OF voluptuous woman in
need of money, and the confidence in fe
male human nature averages very high
in the city. For this reason, and with
all kindness, capitalists are enjoined to
take the measure of this new hotel trick.
