THE German Emperor peremptorily
cuts the Gordian knot between the strik-
ing laboier and the uny ielding employer
in manner that will popularize him
with the struggling wage-worker every
where. He tells the employers they
must come to the terms of their men or
he will take away from them all the
privileges and advantages which the
Government has conferred upon them.
He points out to them the fact that as
they have become rich on the favors
granted them by the Government in
their coal mine and iron operations, the
condition of their workmen has gone
from bad to worse; and that this must
be stopped and quiet be restored by a
great act OF justice, which he will see
enforced This exercise of despotic.
humanity will endear the young EN-
peror to the German masses, and
strengthen his reign more than battles
won on bloody fields with foreign foes.

ACCORDING to the Government report
for May, the condition of winter wheat
in the country is higher by two points
than it has been for five years. A big
wheat crop means large railroad earn
ings, and generally improved condition
Ia all lines OF business. At the same
time, the money markets are all very
easy. The banks in New York are glut-
ted with deposits. yet they carried yes
terday $14 ,OOO, OC0 above the legal twenty
five per cent. requirement. All this
means improvement in business, and
better prices close at hand.

THE LOST ALASKAN.
Eleven of the Survivors of Her
Crew Heard from.

EUGENE Cry, Ore, Fay 18.-The mail
carrier from Florence, seventy miles from
here, on the coast, brings the news that
eleven Of the survivors of the
wrecked Alaskan are now there. After
leaving the ship they were tossed
about by the storm for some hours, and
finally came near land near Cape Per-
petua, about fourteen miles north of
Suislaw harbor, on Tuesday at noon.
They were unable to land their boat, on
account OF the huge breakers.
They therefore tried TO swim
ashore, and all were successful except
one, who lost his life. During the time
they were out, all they had to eat was
six cane of peaches. Four survivors are
at the house of farmer near the Cape,
and are quite ill from drinking salt
water. Six of the survivors are
at Florence, and destitute, being
cared for by the people at that town.
The eleventh man is on his way to
Eugene and will arrive there on Sunday
at noon, when the full particulars will
be learned.

Terrible Bridge Accident.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 1s.-A terrible
accident occurred on theLebanon branch
of the Nashville, Chat anooga and st.
Louis Railroad, about nine miles from
this city, this afternoon. The bridge
across the Stone river caught fire from
a passing train. Seventeen men, two
whites and fifteen negroes, who we're
working on the road near by, went to
the bridge and took an engine on
it with the intention of extinguish-
ing the fire with water from the
tender. The span gave way, carrying
the men and the engine into the river,
fifty feet below. Engineer Morgan and
Firemen Cribble and White received
serious injuries. Three of the negro
laborers were killed and six injured seri-
ously.
