Justice Hondon, EnglandJ
The situation in the Danube valley be-
comes every week more serious. In
Roumania and Bulgaria, internal and ex-
ternal causes are producing ferment
which may at any moment reopen the
eastern question. The Austro-G German
Russian conference, which is announced
to meet at Belgrade, is clearly not called
together for nothing.
In Albania the anti-Turkish agitation
is making progress all over the country,
and emissaries are bearing from tribe to
tribe the proclamation of national
"bessa," or truce between those carrying
on tribal or family vendettas This is be-
lieyed to be preliminary to united
effort to throw off Turkish domination.
The accounts about the alleged plot in
Poland are still very confused. The last
reports are that two officers of one of
the regiments quartered at Warsaw haye
committed suicide, and that large num-
Der of students of Russian, Servian and
Bulgarian nationality have been arrested
for completely in the plot Warsaw is
said to be entirely in the hands Of Rus
sian troops. All details, so far, are re-
garded by those likely to be well in
formed as to the circumstance, as specu-
lative. st-s
The agrarian agitation in Little Rus
sia has become so critical, that the mill
tary governor Of Kieff General Drenteln,
typical Russian, has issued procla-
nation notifying the population that
rioters will in future be tried by court
martial. -

PITTsBURG, August 12.-Steps have
been taken to form union of all the
wood-workers in the country. 1t is in
tended to be national in its scope,
although at present only those Of this
vicinity are interested in the movement.
A meeting was held last week at which
preliminary steps were taken and another
was held this evening. AT the last meet
ing there were represented carpenters,
cabinet-makers, turner's, machine mold
makers and skilled wood-workers in at
tendance. In all forty-two different
establishments in Pittsburg and Allie
gheny had delegates there. As is known,
most of the Woodworking crafts are or
ganized as such, but the idea is to make
one grand national organization. They
talk of patterning after the amalgamated
association, in which all the skilled
branches of the iron and steel trade
Joined in common union. The union
will be of protective benevolent kind
and promises much. -
On Sunday the BARRIERS took prelimln-
airy steps to organize the Independent
Order of United BARRIERS of all the coun-
try. There. are about 700 BARRIERS all
told hereabout aud the idea is to include
both journeymen and employing BARRIERS
in the new order. At present the
BARRIERS association including only
journeymen is strong. The new order
will attempt to reduce the hours of labor
and do away with Sunday work. There
is very little Sunday work done here
now, but the daily hours are from
o'clock a. m. to p. m.
The Amalgamated convention which
adjourned after q session of agweek, tool

1 one as desired. After the parade was
dismissed at Phoenix Hill park, the re-
manning portion of the day was devoted
to speaking, and Hon. Albert s. Willis
led off with very good address allowing
what has been done and is now before
congress for the benefit of the working
man. Mr.. w. S. Wilson, q prominent
lawyer. followed Mr.. Willis and did very
well until he began to quote figures,
which had been made for the wrong
man, giving statistics Of labor. He was
trying to worm politics into his address,
and as workingman was to follow him,
/ suppose he did not fear the result
W. B. Ogden, of Cincinnati, was next
introduced, and being toiler who has
informed himself we'll, he opened his
battery on the following subjects: "The
efficacy Of organization and labors aims

gay that Mr.. Ogden completely showed

the others quoted. Assoon as the shades
Of evening began to fall, the ,toilers who
had missed the parade and addresses,
hurried to the park, and by 8 o'clock
fully 5000 engaged in the different
amusements.

troubled with softening of the brain, and
on Sunday morning he was relieved Of
his pain and troubles.

DETROIT, August GA group of the
International working peoples associa-
ton has been organized here. They are
banded together for "the destruction Of
the'existing class rule by energetic, re-
lentless. revolutionary and international
action.% John Goldring is the secretary.
He is disappointed with the slow pro-
gress made by trades unions and knights
Of Labor, and hopes by vigorous action
through the International to awaken an
interest in the labor movement that will
give it an accelerated speed to glorious
consummation. There is no reason why
there should not be at least ten groups in
Detroit inside of a year. The fields are
white with the harvest. Goldring is
very enthusiastic, but l fear he will find
workingmen unwilling to leave their
miserable Gusts for the most glorious
prospects of plenty,
Chief Arthur, the head of the broth
'erhood of locomotive engineers, has
been here. At meeting Sunday night
b =, made a few remarks as to the growth
of the order. twas started by FIVE en-
gineers two years ago in Marshall, Mich
igan, and has grown into 256 divisions,
numbering 1900 locomotive engineers.
The order, he said, believed in arbi-
tration, but if necessary to maintain
their rights by strikes, then they would
strike. The mulish refusal J. of general
managers to recognize the association
Was the most prolific source Of their
difficulties. !.
Work is very dull. There is hardly q
trade that is not oyerrun with men seek
ing work. This is particularly the case
with cigarmskers, printers, iron molders,
cabinet-makers, upholsterers and ma
chinery molders. If anyone has any
thing to do, let him stay where he is; at
least, don't come to Detroit. GRENELL.
