Yesterdays Favorable Outlook for the
Ending Of the Great Strike in England
Was Misleading.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-There is practically
no change in the situation this morning,
and the strike still continues. A mass
meeting Of great army Of the unemployed
was held to-day. About 1000 strikers
were in attendance. John Burns addressed
them, predicting that their demands would
be acceded to to-day. He said all indica-
tions pointed to victory for the men IL they
were firm and united. The wharfngers
have offered to employ the dock men on
Independent docks, but the proposition has
not been accepted. The strike is seriously
affecting the southern coal trade. The
'wharfngers submitted the dock compan-
les and strikers plan for the settlement
of the question at issue which includes
among other things suggested proposal
to make the American, clauses in bills of
lading imperative. so far as concerned
wharfngers and granary keepers. Repre-
sentatives of companies decline to accept
this solution of the difficulty and are pre-
pairing manifesto in which they will de-
clare they will only pay Sd per hour. The
Telegraph Construction and Manufacture
ing company's workmen at Greenwich
have struck. railors are joining the strik-
ers. The crews of three American cattle
ships have also Joined tine strikers. Burns
in an interview says the stOckmen will
firmly adhere to the position they have
taken and will not reduce their demands.
The dock companies have issued a
manifesto in
which they offer regular dock laborers per
hour for ordinary time and Sd per hour for
abolish the contract system and to substi-
tute piece work, the rates for which will
be sd per hour for ordinary time and Sd
per hour for over time, over time being
reckoned from o'clock in the evening.
Burns rejects the. offer as being dodge to
abolish piece work and bring all the men
under the Sd scale. He also insists that
over time shall be reckoned from O'clock
in the evening. The Garments strik6 has
collapsed, the men resuming work on the

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 29.-At the morning
session of the national encampment the
election Of officers f"r the ensuing year
was completed. Dr.. Horace T.. Porter Of
Kansas was chosen surgeon general, w. II.
Childers of Kentucky chaplain. and T. j.
Lovett of New Jersey Junior vlce-com-
mander. The encampment refused to
recognize the Sons of Veterans as auxllli-
ary to the G. A. R., because of a disturbing
faction in the former. Instead of giving
two womens' organization the loyal ladies
of the G. A. r. and womens' relief corpse
a formal endorsement, which would be
contrary to rules, it was recommended
that the encampment bid them Godspeed
in their work. General Alger, president
of the Logan monument fund, reported
that collections to date aggregated

the site to be added to the fund for the
monument. COmrade Perkins, Of Kansas,
introduced resolutions indOrsing Corporal
Tanners actions In regard to pensions.
They were supported by the eastern dele
xateSs ana lively Time enSueQ. Many OF
the delegates thought the adoption of the
resolutions would amount to an indOrse-
ment Of HarrisOn's administration, and
they opposed them on this ground. Dur
ing the discussion a motion to adjourn un-
til 8 p. m. was carried.
At the afternoon session substitute
was redrafted to read as follows: "That we
thank President Harrison tor the appoint.

commissioner of pensions and that, not
withstanding the assault made on him, we
declare our complete confidence in his in

the suspension of rules unanimously,
amid great cheering. A.
This has been the greatest day of the en-
campment as regards crowds. The day
trains brought in about $4,000 additional
visitors from Wisconsin and Illinois, the
great attraction being the night naval bat
tie in Milwaukee bay. Fully quarter of
q million of people occupied the beach. The
vast amphitheatre on the hillside of Lake
Shore park was packed with Grand Army
men and their wives, these seats being re-.
served for them. The battle was splendid

In the course OF an article on duck shoot

The first thing TO consider in ducking out
tit is the clothing tn wear. No matter whether
one wishes TO shoot for the market or for the
fun Of IL, proper clothes are Of first import
ance II man wants to wear out his old
clothes, let him put on three old woolen un.
dershrts and three old pairs OF drawers and
two pairsof woolen socks, whether lie is going
to shoot from blind or a battery Over these
put the thckest woolen coat and trousers and
a pair Of boots. Then put on the oldest and
most faded overcoat at banda faded green
one for the battery or brown for the blind

For the hands a thin pair Of wooden gloves,
with thick pair Of big mittens easily drop

pensable. II should be bought two or three
sizes too large, so that the head aud ears can
be wrapped In faded muller before it n put

proof must he had, and rubber blanket is as
good as anything, In this rig a man may lie
fairly comfortable on ordinary duck shooting
days, but he will be by no means in the best

The best rig is first a suit of good thick

These boots are used by the lumbermen in
the Adirondacks, and are in all respects the
best foot covering for bitter weather ever de

aud hunting coat which have previously
been soaked in linseed oil, and then dried and
soaked again and dried. The gun stores sell
these canvas suits unoiled.
When oiled they smell like fresh paint, and
not so disagreeable as stream of cold water
down the back The color of these goods is a
reddish brown, too bright when new, but
just right for the blind when grown dngy.
II one is to shoot from a battery alloat, then
a leaden green is a better color. A little
paint will fix them. Oil coats and trousers
can be purchased ut the clothing stores on
the water front. but the oiled coats sold there
are not adapted for the purpose. The real
