Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1879-04-16

A new or revised commercial
treaty between the United States
and Japan is officially promulgated,
notifications having been exchang-
ed at our department of State.
There is considerable establishment
over this matter in diplomatic cir
cles, as the negotiations of the
treaty was kept secret, and it APP
pears that the foreign Powers gen.
orally did not anticipate any
change of the treaty relation be-
tween Japan and other countries.
Now that Mr.. Evarts has broken
the ice, it is expected that the
other Governments will follow his
example. The new treaty enlarges
the commercial reciprocity between
the two countries.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1879-04-16

Mr.. Evarts is negotiating
treaty of commerce and reciprocity
with Mexico. A resolution intro
duced in the Senate recently was
intended to afford the administra-
tion means Of negotiation with
Mexico, through Commission to
be appointed by the President, this
being rendered necessary by the
well-kpown popularity of Minister
Foster, he being in such disfavor
as to be almost useless as an organ
of the United States Government
in delicate official negotiations with
the Mexican Government. Mr..
Evarts informed a Senator q few
days ago that the passage of the
resolution was necessary, as the
Administration had anticipated
Congress and virtually accomplish
ed that which was intended by the
Senate resolutions.

Employers and EmplOYed.

England seems to be almost the
only country in which the laborers
and their employers have come to
anything like a mutual, to say
nothing of satisfactory agreement,
during the present depressed con-
dition of all Industries. Nearly all
of the late strikes in that country
have been settled by arbitration,
the concession made by workmen
being the results OF decisions of
persons selected partly by them
selves. OF course the crisis has
called out a good deal Of theoreii-
cal comment. But it has also in
duced investigation on the part of
numbers of employers and those
representing them, as respects ideas
set forth by the workmen. The
result of these investigations is that
many OF these ideas have been
found to rest npon the basis Of not
only reason but experience.
Heretofore the workmen have
generally claimed: A uniform rate
of wages and the abolition Of piece
work. Employers, on the other
hand, have protested against both.
The latter regarded piece work as
the only fair method of remunera-
ton at the same time they took
the position that there was an i'm.
mense difference ia the skill OF
workmen.
Now came forward Mr.. w. Lat
timer and other writer's on political
economy to sustain the views Of the
workmen. The above named gen.

The British forces in Zululand
have met with another surious
disaster. A dispatch from Cape
Town says, that convoy of sup
plies, proceeding from Derby to
Luneburg, escorted by lO4 men of
the 18th Regiment, was attacked at
daybreak March IL, OH the banks
of the Intombe River, by 1000 Zu-
lus under Umbelini. Owing to
previous alarm the British were
under arms, but were overwhelmed
by the enormously superior force
of the enemy. Capt. Moriarty and
forty men were killed, with twenty
missing. The dead were afterward
buried by Lieut.. Harwood. Twenty
wagons containing supplies were
lost. 1t would seem that England
has deadly and very dangerous
enemy to deal with in South Africa.
