none greater than a certain class oil

reply.

LONDON, February 15.-The genuine
mess of the laborers' demand for land to
cultivate is being put to practical test
il Kent. A number of landlords ID
that county are letting half-acre plots
laborers at a nominal rental. The :
pertinent Will be watched with interest
by the friends and opponents of Mr.,
Colling' scheme for relieving the distress
Of the poor. Many interesting features
are promised at the hearing on Wednes-
day, before Justice Ingham of Hynd-
MAJ, q, Burns, Champion and Williams,
who have been summoned to an
swer the charges of melting to
riot, contempt of law, etc.. during
the disorder in London last week.
Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.. Chamberlain al d
Mr.. Henry Broadhurst have been sub
penaed By the Socialists, and the exami-
nation of these gentlemen will be
watched by all parties with intense
interest. The Social Democratic FEEDER
alton has issued manifesto converting
meeting for Sunday to demand that
the government begin work on public
improvements, in order to give
employment to the worklngmen now
idle, and that the wages paid be suff-
Gent to secure a healthy subsistence.
The manifesto appeals to the working
men to assist in maintaining order and
explains the objects of the federation.
1t concludes as follows: Let the
governing classes face the inevitable
downfall of decaying civilization
without hypocrisy or panic. Upon them
rests the responsibility for the peaceful
or forcible issue of the last great class
struggle Of our times.
The London Chamber of Commerce
has called conference on the silver
question for the 22d instant The
provincial Chambers of Commerce

held a meeting to-day. The session
lasted four hours. Mr.. John Morley,

present. The principal subject under
discussion was the Irish question.
The Queen has sent a donation of f50C

Sir Charles Dixie has decided to per

The Floods

BosroN, February 15.-At noon to-
day the level of the flood was % inches
below the highest point reached. 1t is
now thought that the regular outlet OF
Stony Brook will carry off the water in
As hours. At East Dedham, the dam
connected with the woollen mill is in
great danger; should it fall, an immense
volume of water will be precipitated
upon the bridge below it, and upon the
dam at Norfolk mill. which is in the
valley, at a much lower level. The
fall IF the latter would involve the de-
struction of Norfolk mill and great
havoc in Hyde Park.
FRANKLIN, Mass, February 15.-This
morning, the dam at the factory yielded
to an enormous pressure OF accumul-
ated floods, and fell with crash. The
country below is flooded, but the full
particulars of the extent of the damage
are not yet received. The road between
Wrenham and Franklin is impossible.
Fears are entertained that the dams
below will give away.
