Trouble Appreciated.
Although there is some talk today Of
a more favorable turn to the labor
troubles, many of the foremost business
men of this city regard the situation an
very significant. 1t is said by Western
men who have been in town this week
| trade unions and other labor organiza-
tons throughout the country have at
tanned more widely extended system
OF cooperation in strikes this year than
ever before. So complete is the Or
ganization, they say, that not only
lO.W0 but 10000 men in many
different trades can be moved to
one strike simultaneously or by platoons,
as circumstances, in the opinion of
their leaders, may make advisable. 1t
Is SAID that June lst has been fixed upon
ss the day on which a great number of
iron and coal workers are to strike. 1t
Is at the same time the belief of some
well informed men that over production
and continued deprivation Of foreign
markets will before next December
cause stoppage of many industrial
works, and force others to work on short
time, and that suffering and discomfort
from such stoppaaes will tend &C.
riously to increase tho discomfort Of the
operative population. Those who hold
this opinion reproach Republicans that
they have SO entirely neglected during
this long session of Congress to reduce
taxes and reform she tax system.
CINCINNATI, June i.-Except one roll
ing mill that works scrap iron exclu-
sively. and two mills which are working

the blooms of all mills in Cincinnati
end vicinity have stopped. 1t is tho be-
lief of mill owners that all will resume
next Monday, and complete adjust
ment be made.

WASHINGTON, June IA local paper
has the following sensational story:
Guiteau realizes that every succeeding
day hastens the time when the sentence
of the law will be executed. The cheer
full demeanor and hopeful expression
which has characterized him throughout
have vanished. The familiar accent
aud bravado are gone,s and in place the
steady, ashen hue of terror has appear
cd. Reading and writing, once favor
ite, occupations, are not now resorted TO
by the assassin. His earnest ponder
ings arc only relieved when occasionally
he PAGES the stone floor OF his cell un-
mindful Of the death-watch, whose eyes
are ever upon him, wringing his hands
and talking in q most incoherent man-
ner. A few nights since he repaired to
his cot about 10 o'clock, and the rever-
end gentleman who lately visited Gui-
tsau was speaking Of the near approach
of the hanging day, beseeohing him TO
mako his peace with God. Turning
with a half frightened look. the latter
said: 'If man fails in this matter, it
Charley Reed does not succeed, and
if President Arthur does not try to save
me- there is another above who prompt
ed, mo to take \ life for the country, and
who protected me from the bullets of
Mason and Jones, that will still protect
me. The first hand that is laid on me
for the purpose of doing violence will
be instantly withered. / fear not mans

me-"
