LONDON, Septs Io.-NOrth Lancashire
cotton operators association have issued
an energetic appeal to all masters against
the reduction of wages, and urging USE
| lessness for waiting for an Improvement of
trade, which would be better attained By
the adoption of short time working for a
| few months.
They argue that reaction Of wages will
eventually, by decreasing the purchasing
| power of the country ruin the home trade.
and reduce the operative to pauperism or
serfdom. Twenty mills are now practic-
ally closed at Ashton, because of the
strike, which is also assuming serious pro-
portions at Mossly.
Steamer from Havre to-day takes out
100000 in gold for the U. s. About
sixty thousand pounds in gold has been
sent daily from Paris to London.
The home government telegraphed the
| Viceroy of India last night, expressing ap-
proval and qualification at his military
arrangements. The political department
Of India Office here, considers it extremely
probable Herat Bodakshan and Balkh will
support the revolt, but has no definite
news on the subject. The very absence oi
news from those districts is accepted as
evidence that the country beyond Cabul
is practically in the hands of Heratit
troops. which is considered exceedingly
probable. The Times says nothing i;
known up to the present time regarding
the rumors of a general rising in Afghan
istan. We are justified in believing tha
the condition of the country has becomt
no worse since the first out break.
