lnf0rmer CarsY's Assassgm-Hfs Trial Orr
 dered to be Held i'm London.
 LONDON, Aug. 15.-The government to- day decided to refuse to allow the authori- ties at Port Elizabeth, South Africa, to try ODonnell for the murder of James Carey. The justices at Port Elizabeth during O'Don- nell's preliminary examination went careful ly into the question of jurisdiction, and con- cluded that the assassination occurred within the legal limits of the district Accordingly, on the 4th inst, after hearing all the testi- mony relating to the crime, the court com nitted O'DonAell for trial at the Port Eliza beth October assizes on the charge of having wilfully murdered Carey. The commitment had no sooner been made than the defense subscriptions were started among the Fenian societies all over the world. These movements were carried on with such osten tation in England and Ireland as to attract the attention Of the government. It was soon learned that there was absolutely no chance of securing either fair trial or conviction in Port Elizabeth and the crown lawyers were re- quested to look carefully into the question of the governments right to change the venue. These lawyers yesterday advised the gov 5rnmens tnat eney coulo properly oroer the trial to be held in London. It is not known what grounds were furnished by the crown lawyers for this position as the ques ton of colonial jurisdiction was decided at the time of the commitment in favor of the South African authorities and they will, it is believed, contest the home government position A majority of the cabinet stoutly opposed the trial of O'Donnell in London upon the ground that such proceeding would virtually make of the case State trial, surround the prisoner with fictitious and evil importance, heroizs him and really increase his chances of escape. The decision of the government occasions much surprise and comment. Two special detectives have been commissioned to pro- ceed at once to Port Elizabeth and fetch O'Donneu to London.

The order of the day in the receiving room is efforts to paeify indignant customers whe claim to have been defraud- ed Business has greatly fallen of and much of that done is done so poorly as to be worth less. The operators are not paid regularly. If an operator wants any money he must make application for it and take what is given him without murmuring.

Testing the COmpany-A Committee Of
 Operators Wait on General Eekert-
 RepuIsed they Resolve to Continue the
 striks-The Situation at Present.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-The executive com mittee Of the Photographers Bretherhoo d, as we'll as the operators, do not wish it to be understood that the sending of g committee of operators to General Eckert was in any sense a concession or confession of weak ness '"The visit had said Master Workman Campbell, ''a well defined purpose. The company has insisted throughout that it would willingly deal in friendly way with personal complaints made by it's operators, but would not deal with the brother hood. The committee was one of operators and it was explained in advance that they did not come to represent the brotherhood, but only as operators..to find out on what terms they might return They were treated arrogantly, were not even invited to be seated and their simple request to know on what terms they might return did not meet with 8 direct re- ply. The operators wanted to be convinced and to convince the public that the company did not intend to deal fairly with them inCe- pendently of the brotherhood and they have 
 all the proof they wanted. It has been the invariable policy of the company to ignore all appeals from employees and to-day's action is entirely consistent. The executive board, which was of course informed of what had been done, although it was not done by their au- thority, did not believe that any appeal from the men would be accepted despite the many statements made to the contrary by officials, and they proved to have been quite right The result only strengthens the organization and the men can scarcely ge back now unless they sneak in at the back door, and there are not many of them who will do that.' The committee which waited on General Eckert consisted of Master Work man LoverIy of Philadelphia, MT. Charles H. Chute of Boston, Operators William Taylor and Thomas O'Reilly of New York, and Lineman Kitchen. The strikers are nov evidently basing their hopes of an early settlement of differences upon the re- expectation of receiving sympathy from him, taking action of some sort and abandoning the policy of procrastination and evasion followed thus far. It i5 not known when he will reach this city, but Senator Blair, be- fore whose committee he is expected to ap pear, thinks he may arrive on Monday. The committee reported to a meeting of the operators the result of their visit and it was unanimously agreed that conciliation was out of the question and that the strike should continue.

While MT. zeublin says he has all the men he needs, stories are told of his efforts to secure the services of the best men among the strikers. It was rumored that number of the strikers would return to day, but members of the brotherhood who were asked concerning the statement secuted the idea.
