FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

Why the Austrian Minister 10 the United
States Is Not at His Post
VIENNA, April 30.-The Fremdenblatt, COM
menting on the absence from Washington of
Baron Won Schaeffer, Austrian Minister to the
United States, and the inference drawn that
Austria meant to retaliate for the Kelley affair,
and remain unrepresented until it should be
adjusted, says the reason for the Baron's absence
is simply to enjoy desired furlough on account
of i'll health. He will spend his vacation in
Europe. and, if mis- health permits, will retur n
to Washington after the expiration of his fur
Tough. Otherwise, u successor will be appointed
to continue the representation of Austria at the

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The Prospect Grows Darker and Barker Be-
cause of the Disturbances Among WOrkmen.

New YORK. April 30-Special kilograms to
Bradstreet's do not report as encouraging views
of general trade as in the preceding week. At
Chicago and Kansas City, there is relatively the
most active demand. but at number of other
cities at which an improvement in the movement
of general merchandise was noticed a week ago
there is no change. The demand at Chicago is
still characterized as for immediate wants only.
There are at least 900 employees strike,
against 43. 900 last week. In addition to those
seeking to enforce the adoption of the eight
hour rule, Bradstreets finds that at least 225 600
men at industrial centers are actively moving to
secure fewer hours of labor daily Of this num-
Der, 5000 are on strike, 80 900 have had de-
mands granted, and 105 600 threaten to strike.
There are $4,000 who have not accompanied
their requests with threats of strikes. The more
aggravated condition OF the labor situation is
primarily responsible for the noticeable depress-
ion in general trade and industrial circles
throughout the country this week Interior
merchants are buying restricted lines, and man
ufacturers are basng contracts on the non-in-
reference of employees.
The New York stock market was inactive dur
ing the first part of the week, but has been de-
pressed and feverish in the last three days.
Prices are generally lower, which Is also the
case with speculative bonds. Investment bonds
are steady, and governments quiet. Foreign ex-
change continues high and gold is still going

IL 62k per cent, and commercial paper is scarce.
though the supply of loanable funds is not re-
markable.
The iron markets are dull; the demand is
smaller. owing to labor troubles. Steel rails are
firm, and water and gas pipe makers are doing
well; but these are the exceptions among the
metal industries.
Petroleum is lower and heavy on new produc-
ton.
Wool is dull and az cents lower as compared
with month ago.
The rapid advance in the price for refined
sugars last week checked the demand. and the
advance has been partly lost Fluctuations in
the rate of exchange has made coffees higher as
a rule.
Wheat is quiet and lower on favorable crop re-
ports and decreased demand from abroad.
Spring wheat sowing is earlier than usual, end

Louisville reports high grade leaf tobacco firm

lower than for twenty years. owing to low qnal-
ity and liberal supplies Cotton planting is fif

Louisiana and Texas. There will probably De a
net decrease as compared with 1885, over the
cotton belt.

and our streets and sidewalks are yet
DISTRACTED with bricks and burnt lum-
Der, but contracts are being made and
the burnt district will be rapidly re-
built.
After the excitement oil the fire 1t
was discovered that sixteen barrels OF
brandy and whiskey had been rolled
out from somewhere and deposited in
the garden lot Of the Norris es-
tate, opposite the burnt district:
On investigation it was found
that no Government stamps ornamented
the barrel. heads, and no one came for
ward to claim them. Later some eight
barrels suddenly disappeared, and q
crowd soon assembled around the 70.
naming eight. They were taken pos
session Of by the deputy marshal, but
before he could have them removed the
head Of one barrel was knocked in and
a regular scene Of confusion ensued.
Cans, buckets, &C., soon took OIL the
contents Of this barrel. The marshal
had the others locked up and set about
trying to find out where the liquor
came from and who WAS the owner.
Sunday it was stated to the authorities
that five barrels of brandy were lying
in a piece of pines on Mr.. j. Amber
Brooks's farm. These were sent
for and also locked up. Later
two kegs of brandy were found
in Mr.. Nelson's mea low. Mon
day morning Deputy. Marshal Grayson
arrested Mr.. Benjamin Hall, liquor
merchant doing business at the store
formerly occupied by j. G. Bell, as the
suspected owner of the liquor, and
from whose premises, it is alleged, it
was removed. Mr.. Hall disclaims
ownership. David Alexander and
George Hicks, two colored men, were
also arrested as concerned in the re-
moyal, and sixteen witnesses were sum-
moned-the whole to start to Rich.
mond tonight. This affair has created
considerable excitement in our town,
as il is believed there are others con-
cerned in the illicit transaction.
The fire has paralyzed all business in
our midst.
Our Piedmont FAIRGROUNDS are ad-
yertised to be sold on Saturday next,
but we hope some arrangement can be
made by which they will be saved and
