The Labor Conference.

Paris, 31.-In the labor conference
this afternoon. the English. Italian.
Spanish and French delegates spoke.
Henry Broadhurst, honorary pres
ident of the conference, advised the
wOrkingmen to he patient. Large
capitals, he said, suffered greatly
from competition. London had a
hard fight against the English pro-
vincials and Belgians, but more
especially against the Germans,
who swarmed there. The following
resolutions were adopted: This con-
vention records its opinion that the
principal end to be pursued is to
limit the hours of labor and thus
render supportable the position
Of the workingmen of all
nations. This is attainable in
two ways, namely: Legislation fol-
the protection of the weak against
competition, and the organization
of workiugmen who should be
united and disciplined. 1t is the
duty of workingmen to direct then
efforts against the unjust laws
which render the organization of
laborimpossible and hinder inter-
national legislation, (which is Sc
necessary to ameliorate the condi-
ton of the working classes.
In the evening the speakers urged
French worklngmen to devote more
attention to business and less to pol.
tics, and to organize trades unions.

twenty-five miles of Holyhead.
B0th vessels sank. Thirteen of the
Alnambra's crew and two of the
Ho!yhead's were drowned. The re-

IN Dublin when the news of the
safety Of the Holyhead's passengers
was rec sived.
the collision occurred at II O'Clock
tuesday night. The night was
mild and fairly clear. By some
means the Alhambra got across the
track OF the Holyhesd and a fright
full collision occurred. The Holy
heads engines were reversed
when it was found a collision was
inevitable. The Alhanbra was
cut down TO the waters
edge. The captain of the Holyhead
had lines thrown over the bows and
lowered two boats. There was not
the slightest panic on board. The
boat saved twelve of the Alham-
bras crew. One man clambered
over the bows. When it was dis
covered the HOlyhead was fast sink
ing,. two more boats were lowered
and the passengers and crew
safely embarked, excepting
the qnartermaster and a boy who
were IN the fOrecaStle. In q few
minutes the HOlyhead disappeared.
At 8 o'clock this morning the wind
freshened and the sea increased and
the boats kept afioat with great
difficulty. At 8 o'clock q ste amer
hove in sight, bore down and took
all on board. The survivors are
much distressed.

The Explosions.

London. Sin relation to the ex-
blossoms. investigation made by
scientific advisers to the war de.
partment led to the conclusion that
nitro-glycerine in some form was
the agent used in both cases. Later
INQUIRIES confirm the early state
ment thai a large number Of people
were injured. In addition to over
thirty treated at the hospital, a large
number are ATTENDED by private
surgeons. One of the victims, q
corporal of hussars, says he was
talking with a friend on Praed
street when there was suddenly a
very bright light, Immediately fol-
lowed by terrific report. He was
struck by something and almost
knocked insensible. When the train
arrived at Edgeware road he stag
gered across the platform and was
picked up by soldier. He re-
members nothing more. This Is
only one ot many narratives.
@London, 81. = The explosions
caused intense excitement in Irish
circles in London. The Irish al
most unanimously think the outra.
ges were due to the deliberately
planned Vaccinations of the enc
mics of the National party of
Ireland, who intend to create an
anti-Irish feeling in England.
It will be next to impossible,
they think, to have a perfectly i'm.
partial jury to try O'Donnell. II is
also remarked that the explosions
occurred about the moment when
Davitt was opening his address in
st. James Hall. It is stated the
police are unaware Of the presence
in London of any of O'Donovan
Rossa's dynamiters. However. all
Irish rendezvous are closely
watched.

pOrtunities for the peaceful emula.
ton of all nations, and thus divert

ition in 1884, one of the progress Of
inventions in 1885, and he proposed
holding here colonial exhibition
