THREATENING REPRISALS.
The United States Threatened with Repri.
sails for Dynamite Outrages Concocted in
America.

LONDON, Dec H.
James Russell Lowell, the American
Minister, has been again assailed by the
Metropolitan Underground Employees AS
sociation. On the 18th of November the
Association presented Mr.. Lowell with
SCI of resolutions which strongly de-
nounced the Irish Invincibles and Fenians
as the authors of the dynamite explosions
in the Underground Railway, at Praed
street. Accompanying the resolutions was
a request that Mr.. Lowell transmit the res
olutions to the United States Government.
because the Association believed that the
explosions were really the work OF conspir-
ators resident in the United States. Mr..
Lowell acknowledged the receipt of the
resolutions, but declined to forward them
to Washington, because, as he said, there
was not particle of evidence to show that
any American was guilty of completely in
the outrage. This answer was quite disa-
greenbe to the employees, and they sought
counsel of lawyers. Tue result has just
been produced in the shape of long pub
lie letter to the American Minister, which
was presented to-day. The document is
very formidable, and is intended TO entirely
humilitate MIR. Lowell by showing the Brit
ish how much more the underground rail-
way servants know about the laws or evil
dence and the duties of an American EN-
bassador, than does the mere scholar, who
is serving the United States as their Minis
ter TO England. The memorial STARTS out
with the bold declaration that the AsSocia-
ton of Metropolitan Underground Railway
servants find themselves unable to agree
with the American Minister in either of his
opinions, viz. That there is no evidence TO
show the completely of any American, and
that there is good reason for calling the at.
tention of the United States Government to
| ~ .tsarw
what extraordinary threat that II Mr.. Low
ell and his Government do not in the future
take action to suppress the dynamite socie-
ties alleged TO exist in the United States,
the English people will protect themselves
by "reprisals." Mr.. Lowell was somewhat
started by the contents of the memorial,
and declined to take any other formal no.
tice of 1t, or OF the committee which pre-
scented it, than making mere acknowledge
ment Of receipt.

NO PRESENTS.

For some years past there has been a
growing custom among merchants and
business men of presenting their customers
and patrons with small presents on Christ,
mas. This practice has been carried to
such an extent by enterprising merchants
who wish to appear more generous than
their neighbors, that it has become an
enormous drain upon their stocks. Feel
ing that 1t is useless extravaganza caused
only by rivalry, the undersigned merchants
have slgnifed their intention to give away
no presents on Christmas day.
