FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

The Chinese Government Busily Preparing
for the Young Emperor's Marriage.
TIEN-TsIN. April 20.-The Chinese govern
ment is entirely absorbed making the prelim-
mary arrangements for the young Emperor's
marriage and his assumption of authority as the
actual head Of the state. The first of these ar
rangements is for him to worship at the tombs
of his ancestors, and this requires q
journey of about one hundred miles to
the northeastward. A special road has been
built for him to travel over. and cannot be used
by any one else until he is done with it He
will be accompanied on the journey by large
retinue, including the Empress Regent (his aunt
and by many of the grand dignitaries Of the en-
pire He will start at 3 or o'clock in the morn
ing from the imperial palace at Pekin, will ride
in covered cart and all the strets and
roads through which the cortege passes will
be carefully guarded from foreign eyes. It is
estimated that the expense Of the affair, which
will last about ten days. including the time spent
in going and coming, will be somewhere between
$500. 600 and $1.000 000 It is also said that the
Empress Regent has selected one of her nieces,
the daughter of the Duke Chow as the first wife
of tho young Emperor. The young woman is
just sixteen. Her immediate family is neither
rich nor old, nor has it been distinguished for
any special qualities on the part of its male
members.

would not accede to the demands. The an,
nouncement that the freight-handlers on the
Galena division of the Northwestern road had
stopped work while awaiting a reply, proved
incorrect The men remained on duty after
making their demands.
At a meeting to-day nearly all the manufact.
urers of parlor furniture in the city formed an
association. 1t was resolved that they would
not accede to the demands of the Upholsterers
Union for increase of 20 per cent on all piece.
work prices, nor that eight hours should consti-
tute days work. About 1000 upholsterers and
fnishers would be affected should the members
of the Upholsterers Union strike
The machine manufacturers and foundry own
ers of the city held a meeting to-day to discuss
the eight-hour movement Twenty out Of the
thirty firms were represented. The general opin-
ion was that working day of eight hours was
not sufficient for the profitable conduct of the
business, and that. if necessary, the establish.
ments would shut down entirely. No associa-
ton was formed. The understanding was that
each should treat with his own men indepcnd.

Indications Pointing Toward Peace-Alleged
Promises by the Powers.
ATHENS, April 29-The Minister Of War has
resigned His resignation is due to the fact that
he did not coincide with the action taken by his
colleagues during his absence at the front. The
powers have approved the action of their repre-
sentatives here in presenting the ultimatum to
the Greek government
The Official Journal says that If the powers
will recognize the agreement between Greece and
France, and remove their display of force to
compel Greece to submit to their views, Greece
will act in consonanoe with the duties inspired
by her national interests and the honor of the
state.
Tho resignation Of Colonel Mayromichalls,
Minister Of War, is regarded as an indication of
peace. Premier Delyannis will assume the du-
ties of the War Department for the present.
1t is expected that Greece will soon officially
notify the powers that her forces will be dis
armed. 1t is maintained ir official circles here
that Count De Morny, the French ambassador,
rewarded by having an extension of frontier, as
promised in the treaty Of Berlin
The reply of the Greek government to the
ultlmatum OF the powers Is due on tuesday
next, when the foreign ministers will be recalled
unless Greece consents to disarm.
The London Standard says that Greece has
answered the ultimatum of the powers by de-
claring her adherence to the answer already Civ
en- to France Prince Bismarck has proposed to
the powers an effective blockade OF the Greek
ports.
A Vienna telegram says: IN. Manis has hand
ed to Count Kalnoky the reply Of Premier Del
yannis, to the effect that the ultimatum of the
powers ought to be withdrawn; that Greece is
willing to submit her claims to the powers for
diplomatic consideration, and that Greece can
not. with honor, yield to dictation. He alleges
as a reason of Greeces resistance the excited
condition of the people. which, he says, can only
be quieted by the concession of some of their
righteous claims"

AT NEW YORK.

Arrangements for Huge Demonstration q
Workers on Saturday Night.
NEW YORK. April 29-From present iudica
tions Saturday night will be made memorable
by one of the largest gatherings of organized
labor ever seen in this city. The demonstration
will be held in Union square, under the direction
of the Central Labor Union, which represents
about 16o trade and labor clubs. Within year
the growth Of the Central Labor Union has been
wonderful, and its membership is increasing
every week. New trades are being organized
as rapidly as possible. The meeting has
been called to favor system Of
shorter hours of labor, and not, as many
suppose. to make a united demand for eight
hours, and in case of refusal on the part of the
employers to bring about mammoth strike.
All the unions believe in short hours Of labor.
but they have come to the conclusion that the
time has not yet arrived to make united de-
mand for eight hours. Some of the trades will
make an eighthour demand on May /. Others
will ask for nine and SONS will ask for ten
hours. The meeting will indorse these demands,
and while it may favor eight hours for all trades,
it will not insist upon obtaining the concession
at present. except in cases of trades that have
already notified their employers of tho adoption
OF the eight-hour rule. The meeting will
probably declare that the men who work four
teen and sixteen hours per day should have
twelve, that men who work twelve should have
ten and that men who work ten should have
eight or nine hours. By reducing the hours of
work the Central Labor Union hopes to increase
the demand for labor, and enable thousands Of
people out of work to get steady employment.
Some time ago when the building trades, en-
bracing, among others, brick-layers, plasterers,
latherers, plumbers, painters, roofers. trainers,
hoisting engineers and laborers, made a demand
that nine hours should be days work, it was
granted. This year the men will make no fur
ther demand and will abide by the nine hour
rule, as they promised their employers they
would do.
