THE WAR SCARE.

Greece Must Abandon Its warlike Attitude
or Take the Consequences.
LONDON, April 2-There is great sudden
activity in the British Foreign Office. Mr..
Gladstone has spent considerable time there to-
day, comforting with Earl Rosebery, Secretary
for Foreign Affairs.
The leading French papers take gloomy view
of the situation in the East Two French iron
clads have been ordered to be placed in readiness
for immediate dispatch to the Mediterranean.
Sir Horace Rumbold, the British minister to
Greece. has been ordered to join with other for
eign diplomatic representatives at Athens In
sending to the Greek government final remon-
STRANGE against Greeces warlike attitude. This
remonstrance will be tantamount to an ulti-
,natum, and If Greece ignores it the foreign
fleets will act forthwith. All the foreign squad
rons in the waters of Greece are being hastily
reinforced.
The Journal de st. Petersburg says that the
Russian feet will return to>Suda bay Count
Won Woulkenstein Trostburg. Austrian embas-
sador, has left Russia He has gone abroad, the
official announcement says.
The French government has given orders for

FORCING THE ISSUE.
An English Paper Declares that Gladstone
is Planning His Own Defeat.

LONDON April 2-:.Mr. Gladstone is riding
straight for fall,n the Pail Mall Gazette de
elares, this afternoon. "He refuses to modify
his Irish scheme and the result will be that the
country will have neither home rule in Ireland
nor Mr.. Gladstone" The Gazette announced, in
the same way precisely, that Lord Salisbury
would ride for fall at the very time the Tory
Premier was arranging for his own defeat. The
declaration at the time was generally hooted by
the other English papers. but the Gazette was
entirely accurate then. 1t is thought that the
editor has special knowledge that Mr.. Gladstone
being ssEssnced of the absolute justice and good
policy of his Irish proposals, and at the same
time convinced that the Tory and Radical poll
ticians have determined to defeat them, means
to force the issue and bring about the defeat as
soon as possible. content to sacrifice power in his
final effort at pacifcation.
The Dublin Freemans Journal commenting
on the growing opposition among the Scotch
members of Parliament to granting Ireland o
Parliament, threatens that if the Scotch mem
bers help to defeat Mr.. Gladstone's home-rule
bill, the ParnelteS will adopt policy of relent-
less opposition to every Scotch measure which
may come before Parliament
great mass meeting was held this afternoon
in Guild Hall, London, to protest against the
granting of Parliament to Ireland The Lord
Mayor presided Sir John Lubbock (Liberal1,
member of Parliament for London University,
moved the adoption of a resolution condemning
Mr. Gladstone for his intention of "handing Ire
land over to Mr.. Parnell, whom he previously
denounced"
A workingman arose and offered an amend
ment to Sir John Lubbock's resolution, but he
was howled down, and the resolution was car
ried amid wild enthusiasm. But 200 persons in
the immense audience voted in the negative.
AT every mention Of Mr. Prrnelrs name, the au-
dience Kissed. There were cries of Gladstone
is a lunatic" All the speeches were intensely
patriotic, and the speakers were loudly cheered.
Mr. George Potter, Liberal. ventured to
propose an amendment to the Lubbock resolu
ton, to the effect that Mr.. Gladstone was enti
tied to the confidence of the audience and the
British public, but his voice was drowned by
groans and cries OF go home" 'Turn him
out" The meeting closed with three cheers for
the Queen, after which the assemblage left the
hall singing "Rue Britannia"

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
A Less Satisfactory Exhibit than Last Week
"A Decrease in the Number of Strikers.

New YORK, April Especial kilograms to
Bradstreets report less satisfactory condition
of general trade than last week. owing in large
part to the continuation of strikes at various in
dustrial centers we'll as to the interruption to
railway traffic in the Southwest. Floods in the
Central, Southern and Western States have
helped depress trade through the destruction of
bridges and overfowing of country roads. At
large Eastern cities the volume Of merchandise
moving is only of moderate proportions. At
Western centers the demands are quite as much
for nearby wants as they were week ago. In
general, it may be stated that the
progress made thus far during 1886
has been disappointing, though at
Chicago and some other cities the total sales of
staple goods for the first quarter of 1886 said
to fully equal those of the first quarter In 1885
Bad roads are very generally reported through
out the country, and collections from in
terror points are slow. Money is in only fair
demand at most points, and the markets rule
easy at unchanged rates Improvement Ia gem
eral trade is reported at st. Louis and Kansas
City. The iron industry continues depressed
by the check to industrial enterprises caused by
the extended strikes as we'll as through en-
HANGED cost Of fuel for furnaces Anthracite
coal is firm at the advance, and in better de-
mand. The coal pool has not arranged per-

and that among the suit makers at
New York have largely disappeared, cutting
down the total striking from $4,000 to SO, 600
within week. There is, however, possibility
of another outbreak at Cohoes Light consump-
tive demand continues to depress sugar prices,
but mild coffees are higher. Only fair sales of
dry goods are reported, the movement being
smaller Stocks in first hands are small, and
prices, with few exceptions, are firm. Prints are
off Ice, to 3sc for sixty fours The wheat market
is only moderately firm, despite the freer sales
for export Late takings by Italy of about two
hundred thousand bushels are significant, as our
grain shipments thther have heretofore been
chiefly Indian corn. Bradstreet's sreports of visible
supplies of wheat east of the Rocky mountains on
March q show decline of but G, ,257, 900 bushels
since JAN l. against 1867 600 bushels decline re-
ported by the New York Produce Exchange.
Visible stocks of -four amount to 1,740, 900 bar
rels, or 10000 barrels more than on Jan. /.
There are no authentic reports of damage to
winter wheat yet Not much spring wheat
planting has been done.

Mr.. Garland about the matter He had told the
