Win But Little success.
LONDON, September 2Sth.-Labor troubles
are increasing at Rotterdam, and the i'm
mense shipping business of that port has
been transferred 10 Amsterdam. This
move is in the nature of lockout, so far as
the original strikers are concerned, but the
strike, nevertheless, has spread, and will
probably extend to Amsterdam. The
chances of the success of the strikers is by
no means as good as were the chances
of the London laborers, as those of Rotter-
dam have little public sympathy, neither
are they favored with the goodwill of the
police. A Hull steamer which arrived
home from Rotterdam was unable to dis
charge her cargo. She reports finding the
body of a Holland Customs officer in the
hold. A verdict of accidental death was
returned by the Coroner's jury, but there is
little doubt but what he was killed by the
