LONDON, Aug. 30.-Indications thi.
morning are not very favorable to an i'm
mediate settlement of the strike. A meet
ing of a committee of strikers was held
last night at which important action wa.
taken to make the strike general. A
manifesto was issued early this morning
solemnly appealing to workers of every
calling in London TO strike Monday next
unless the demands of the dockmen are
conceded. The final demands are: Six
pence per hour for overtime, counting
from 6 p. IN. to S a. m. Under the con
tract system the pay is to be eightpence
during regular working hours, one shil-
ling for overtime, nobody to be employed
less than four hours. A mass meeting of
workingmcn has been called for Sunday
at Hyde Park.
The manifesto was signed by all Lon
don labor organizations, including the
s%tevedores, sailors and tiremen's unions,
numbering 10000. The accession of
these unions is most important. If dock
companies refuse to accede to the terms
demanded, grave complication must
ensue forthwith. The condition of the
affairs becomes graver hourly. Burke ad-
ulSSSSu h,OOb hGu AT lOWeT hill, giving
AS the %watchword mo surrender" He
was cheered to the echo.
Over 5000 iron workers at Kelghley
have struck. Cardinal Manning, Sir
Andrew Lusk and the lord mayors dep
uty, Smith, conferred with officials of the
dock companies to day. 1t is understood
the cardinal pleaded the cause OF the
strikers. 1t is reported the gas stokers
arei di, satisfied and fears are entertained
that London will be in darkness in case
they strike. with additional danger by
reason OF neglected retorts.
The strikers are boasting that Monday
next will witness a gigantic amalgamated
strike of workers in every industry unless
the ultimatum of the dockmen be ac-
cepted by noon tomorrow. In m inter
view this evening Burns. the leader of
the strikers, said he felt depressed al
though he hoped for the hest.

The Cronin Murder Trial.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-At the opening Of
the criminal court this morning the state s
attorney announced his readiness to pro-
coed at once with the Cronin murder
trial. A special venire was issued FOR
fifty jurors rerurnable at , o'clock, to
which time court adjourned.
When the afternoon session began it
was announced that only half OF the fifty
talesmen had been secured hut the defense
waived any technical objection on this
ground. Then Lawyer Donahoe on be
half OF his clients O'Sulliyan and Kunze
objected to the appearance OF Attorneys
Hynes, Mills and Ingham as assistants to
the states attorney in the prosecution, on
the ground that they had been employed
by private persons and on the further
ground that Hynes had a personal ami
mostly against O'Sullivan.
The lawyers for tie rest and Kennedy
made similar objections on behalf Of
Coughlin and Burke The motion was
ovcrruled and the questioning of talesmen
began. A. G.. Barger was subjected to a
rigid examination and accepted by the
state. Three other talesmen were passed
by the state before adjournment, L. s.

The Royal Family of Spain.

1t consists of an assemblage of wo-
men and a child in arms. These wo-
men are not all Spanish. The queen
is an Austrian and the infanta Paz
lives in Bavaria, but the queen dow
ager, better known as Isabel II, has
unmistakable national characteristics.
Unconventional and acute, kindly and
full of fun, the quintessence of ''gra-
cia," good natured to all, making up
for the grave defects of her education
by the kenness of her wits, the Queen
Isabel Qet history appreciate her po-
htical conduct, l am talking at present
of her ~character) is a pure Spanish
type; she is what Tame would call q
representative type" of not a few
Spaniards. Nor does her daughter,
the infanta Isabel, Countess Of Ger
GENT, belle the country of her birth.
Familiar and gay, a marvel of liveli-
ness and activity, no slave of etiquette,
endowed with a frank and decided
character, the infanta Isabel practices
virtue in a thoroughly Spanish man
ner, without augularity, supersensi-
tiveness OIL ~afPectation, and without
the smallest trace of prudery. What
distinguishes her from the group of
Spanish women with whom she would
naturally be classed is a manly indie
pendencc, an affection for sport and
bodily exercise which seems rather to
belong to the Saxon race. No one "a
deny individuality to the infanta Isa-
bel, and this quality makes her very
"sympathique" and assimilates to her
the ome of the Renaissance. The
infanta Paz possesses refined tastes,
such rs love of painting and making
verses, but has given no proof of a
really artistic temperament. The in
fanta Eulalia, elegant and high
strung, has no Distinguishing mark

Veterans Close Their Business

An Arkansas Who Objected to
a Hanging.
1t Looks as Though the London
Strike May Spread.
Last Day of the Encampment.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 30.-The closing
session of the national encampment was
held to day. There was a long discussion
over the resolution favoring the allow
ance of a pension of Sl2 per month 10
all soldiers who prefer to live at home
and will relinquish the right to enter the
national military asylum. The resolution
was laid on the table. The encampment
then adopted a resolution reaffrming the
action OF the twenty second national en-
campment upon pension legislation by
congress. This embraces the disability
bill and also the call for the passage of a
per diem service pension bill. The prin-
cipal debate OF the day was had over a
a resolution to deprive past department
commanders Of the right to vote at
national en,ampments. This proposition
was finally voted down by 1873 to 3S. The
proposition to admit to qualified mem
bership the eldest son of veterans with
out the right to vote or wear a badge was
rejected. The officers elect were then in-
stalled and the encampment adjourned.

The fate of Vatel is intimately link
cd with all memories of Chantilly,
as it has come down to us in the pi-
quaint letters of Nine. de Sevigne. The
prince was giving a great fete to his
monarch, Louis XIV. The formal
splendors of Versailles were cast in
the shade by the rural delights of
Chantilly. The tables were spread in
the open air, the ground being thickly
strewn with jonquils. Vatel had sur
passed himself in the menu; the wines
and liquors were of the choicest; the
king was in the best of humor, and all
went as merry as a marriage bell.
To the eye of the chef all was not
we'll. The roast had fallen short, and
at two tables, out of twenty-five or
more, it had been wanting altogether.
Vatel felt himself overwhelmed with
shame. He retired to his chamber in
despair. The prince himself fastened
to comfort him and restore his artists
pride with words of praise and appeci-
alton. But it was of no use. Bis
highness was full of goodness, said the
detected chef; but there remained the
melancholy fact-the roast had failed.
And the strain of preparation had
been too great for the unhappy Vatel;
for nights he had not slept-nor could
he sleep now-and in the early morn
ing he wandered forth to seek rest for
his perturbed brain in the GOODNESS of
the morning air and the freshness and
verdure of the park.
On the way he met one of the pur-
veyors of the household, who had ar
rived with a meager supply of seafsh.
rs this all7" cried Vatei, overcome
with despair at the sight. at is all, ="
was the reply. And Vatel went back
to his room with death at his heart.
To the tiasco of the roast had now sue
ceeded the disaster of the fish. He
could not survive the disgrace, so he
threw himself upon his sword.
And, after all, the fish arrived, sea-
fish from the Norman coast, fresh fish
from the rivers, fish enough and to
spare, in ample time for the table,
but too late to save the chef. The
prince wept bitter tears over his body
as much for the cook as for the man
for his loss was irreparable.-An

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30.-The state
ment of the assets and liabilities OF Lewis
Bros. d Co., which was fled in this city

than was expected. The creditors of the
firm were gratiied when the figures were

expressed by the creditors at the amount
of liabilities named in the inventory after
the failure of the firm. Various estimates
ranging from $4,000, 900 to Sc, 600, 900

Heat is transmitted in three ways
by conductiou, as when the end of a
short rod of iron is placed in a fire and
the opposite end becomes warmed
this is conducted heat; by conviction
by means of currents-such as the
warming of n mass of water in a boil
err, furnace or saucepan; and by a
diation, as that diffused from a piece
of hot metal or an open fire. Radiant
heat is transmitted like sound or light,
in straight lines in every direction,
and its intensity diminishes ~inversely
as the square of the distance from its
center or point of radiation.-Once a
