is imaginary now, yet it has frequently
been done and had the old Wilmington
team been properly supported, it would
still be being done The manager of the
home team now sees just where he
stands. While it may be too early to
Judge of the fitness of the Wilmington
team, as whole, yet it is self-evident
that the three outfelders should be re-
placed by men who can hit the ball even
If they cannot field.
A look at the score shows the wretched
support given Day by first and third base.
Day struck out sixteen men, leaving
eight to be put out by the other players.
M. O'Donnell made four inexcusable and
unnecessary errors, MaloneY made one
rank error and Marks played with about
as much animation as cigar pompey
would assume, and allowed men to make
bases on fly hits almost in his hands
We offer suggestion to the Wilmington
manager: Engage the Ponies and play
Day, McCafferty. Riddle and Campbell il
their usual positions, and put some o.
the Ponies at the other points. Th'

Their Final Demand.

LONDON, Aug. 3O.-IndIcations this
morning are not very favorable to i'm
mediate settlement of the strike. A
meeting of committees Of strikers, pre-
sided over by John Burns, was held last
night at which important action was
taken looking to making the strike
general. A manifesto was issued by this
committee early this morning solemnly
appealing to workers in every calling in
London to strike on Monday next, unless
the demand of the dockmen be conceded
before that date The final demands of
these men are pence an hour for a
regular day 5 work and s pence an hour
for overtime, counting from p. m.
until 6 a. m as overtime hours. Under
the contract system, the pay is to be
hence during regular work hours and
shilling for overtime, nobody to be en-
ployed for less than four hours. A mass
meeting OF workingmen has been called
for Sunday at Hyde park.
A manifesto signed by London labor
organizations, including steved0res,
sailors and firemen 5 unions, numbering
zRe 900 men has been issued. The gcces-
sious of these unions is most important.
IF the dock. companies refuse to aGcede
to the terms demanded grave compli-
cations must ensue forthwith. The
condition of affairs becomes graver
hourly.
Mr.. Burns addressed 5000 men at
Tower Hill, giving as the watchword,
emo surrender. - He was cheered to
the echo.
Three thousand iron workers at Keigh-
ley have struck.
Cardinal Manning, Sir Andrew Lusk
SFni
conferred with officials of dock COM
panies to-day. 1t is understood the
cardinal pleaded the cause of the
strikers. 1t is reported gas stokers are
dissatisfied and fears are entertained that
London will be in darkness if they strike,
with additional danger by reason of neg
Iected Tetorts.
The strikers are boasting that Monday
will witness a gigantic amalgamated
strike of workers in every industry unless
the ultimatum to the COCK
men be accepted by noon to-
! morrow In an interview to-day with
Mr.. Burns, the leader of the strikers,
he said he felt depressed although he
hoped for the best. Notice has been
! posted at strikers committee rooms
| suspending relief measures owing
| to the fact that tradesmen up
| on whom orders had been issued were
d9demanding that committee 5 coupons be
4 exchanged for cash. The outlook for
| the strikers is decidedly gloomy.
Fifteen hundred mill workers at Deft-
ford have joined the strikers. Shippers
/ are arranging to unload steamers at
! Dover.
The Seamens' and Wharf Laborers
union at Brisbane, Australia, sent a
cable dispatch here to-day saying that
employment would be furnished there te
$50 of the striking London dockmen.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
The Business Outlook Continues to I'M
prove All Over the Country.
Crop Prospects Splendid, Money Plenty and
Certain Industries Experience Revival
Business Failures.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-R. G. Dun
Co. IS weekly review of trade says:
Last week suggestions in regard to the
monetary situation have been entirely
sustained by the events of the past week.
Those who held large amounts of govern
ment bonds were induced to sell freely at
prices formerly paid by the treasury,
which has thus been enabled to pay out
about twenty million dollars for bonds.
But these heavy disbursements have
scarcely changed at all the market for
commercial needs here, at Boston or at
Philadelphia, though speculation has
been rendered more active, and sharp
advances in stocks and wheat have re-
suited. The secretary IS belief that bonds
to q large amount could be obtained at
the prices offered has been justified, and
he has done what he could under the law
to prevent a monetary pressure, but the
money disbursed seems likely to relieve
speculative rather than commercial
needs, at least until other operations be-
sides the one in government bonds have
been liquidated.
Business in all parts of the country
continues to improve with the stimulus of
large crops Chicago reports an immense
increase in receipts of grain and prOVIs-
ION, with considerable gain in the sale
of dry goods and clothing. Milwaukee
finds trade improving. At Detroit and
ST. Paul the previous Improvement Is
maintained At Omaha business Is very
good, and the trade at Kansas City is
rather quiet.
The demand for money is charging.
no irOY Inns
ness is expanding, and at Philadelphia
an improvement is noticed in wool, gro
ceries iron and steel and their products,
and in coal with good trade in drugs,
chemicals and tobacco. At Boston the
sales of wool are larger, reaching 21,-
600 900 pounds for the week, and the
drv goods trade is large with prices well
maintained. A heavy demand for ex-
port is observed in leather, and large
building operations make the lumber
trade active.
The situation in the iron industry is en-
| couFaging, for the weekly production 4,
| hardly ever surpassed, appears to be met
| bv n wonderful demand, although deliv-
| cries Of rails con tiuue below last year g.
| The Tennessee coal aud iron company
| gives notice of an advance of 25lcents ia
| its prices for pig iron, and a rise in the
! price of coke at Pittsburg insures some
/ advance in pig iron there, while Bar
| plate and structural iron are inS stroug
| demand and the works are better en-
pIoyed than they have been for several
! years.
Wool is not yet freely taken bymanu-
| facturers at current prices. High PRICES
and the inequality of cotton embarrasses
manufacturers, but large new supply
| is now at hand.
Business failures number 2l1 as Com
pared with 2O6 last week and 2l3 the
week previous For the corresponding
week of last year the figures were 226.

said, among other things:
My Lords and Gentlemen.
1t is with much satisfaction l release
you from the labors of protracted ses-
sion. Our relations with other powers
continue most cordial. Since the begin
ming of the session nothing has happened
to diminish our confident expectations OF
unbroken European peace. The only
exception of a tranquil course OF events
has been a very partial renewal OF at
tempts formerly made by the followers
of the Mahdi to invade the southern
frontier of Egypt. The invading force
was arrested and dispersed with coRplc-
uous skill and complete effect by the
Khedive troops, supported by a small
British contingency under Gen. Gren-

consisting of representatives of Great
Britain. Germany and America, which
assembled at Berlin in the spring,
agreed on a convention regulating the
government of these islands. This in
strument has been accepted by me and
by the emperor of Germany and now
awaits the assent of the American senate.
At my suggestion the king of the Belgians
has consented to summon in the autumn
convention of European powers to be
held at Brussels to consider the present
condition of the slave trade by land and
sea, and deliberate on measures for the
arrest and mitigation of evils which this
traffic still inlicts on mankind.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons
Fl gladly acknowledge the care and hber-
atty with which you have provided for
the wants of the public service.
My Lords and conference.-the meas
uresi you have taken with no
grudging hand to strengthen the naval
defences will enable my subjects to pur-
| sue industry and enterprise in more COM
| pIete security of peace. l am thankful
to be able to recognize the signs of grow
| ing prosperity, the fruit of returning
confidence being everywhere discernable
In hope that under the operation of your
wise counsel it may be strengthened by
| hearty concord of all my subjects, l COM
mend you reyerently to the merciful care
IEof- Almighty God.
