Britain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Bel
gium, Holland, Austria, Hungary, Sweden,
and Norway have consented to send dele
gates, while Russia has declined upon the
ground that her industries are confined TO
products of agriculture and forestry, and
the United States has declined on the ground
of the very great differences between the
condition of the workngmen in Europe ard
their condition in America. This
report is totally unreliable. OF the gov
ernments mentioned, France, England, and
Switzerland have asked for a definite pro-
gramme involving the scope of the inquiry.
None of the others have done more than
formally acknowledge the reception of the
proposals. The emperor is personally en-
gagged in drafting a programme, which is
TO be submitted to the court of state on
Feb. 26. 1t is already determined that the
conference will not touch the subject of the
eight hour agitation. Suggestions received
from the Marquis of Salisbury indicate that
it is the intention of the British government
to send delegates, provided the votes of the
conference shall not be understood as bind
ing the governments to anything, and that
the proceedings are merely deliberative. The
emperor insists that one feature of the pro-
gramme shall be the establishment of trade
unions under official control This would
of course be impossible in England, and it
continent will consent to be brigaded under
state officials.
There is a report afioat tonight that the
labor conference will meet in the middle OF
March.

in the last stages OF general paralysis.
LATER nEEURNs.
BERLIN, Feb. 22.-9:45P. P. M.-At this hour
there are some additional particulars known
of the election, giving the result in 3lS dis
tricts, and including 1l6 districts where
there was no election. In the 202 districts
for which we thus have definite results, they
are as follows: Conservatives, AZ: imperi-
alists, IL; national liberals, IA; csnterists,
German liberals, IA; socialists, II; poles,
20; Independents, /; Alsatians, 10; volks
partei democratsl. 8; Danes, l. Secondary

liberals, 81: socialists, AZ; Guelphs. o:
Poles, 4; Volks partie, 9, anti-Semites, q
The German liberals claim that their re-
turns show that they have to contest, in the
supplementary elections, 62 seats. AS 46
of these are against cartellers, and IA
against socialists, they are confident that
their party will have in the next Reichstag
65 to 20 votes.
Herr Richter's journal, referring to the
proposal that all parties shall coalesce
against the socialists, warns the progress
lists against false sympathy with the Cartel
party and says: Though the cartel ma
jority destroyed the possibility of majority
favoring an increase of duty on articles for
consumption, yet prolongation of the social
ist law is not excluded from political COM
binationsn ~

A Decree From Rome Suspending the
Usual Lenten Fast.
ST. LOUIS. Feb. 22--The Restern
Watchmdn, a prominent Catholic weekly
journal of this city, prints to-day letter
from its Roman correspondent in
which he says that the congregation
OF universal inquisition has issued
"a decree, signed by Cardinal Monaco,
and published in the official organ of the
Vatian, abolishing the lenten fast and alb
stinence this year. This Is extended
to the whole world, tho letter
says, wherein ordinaries shall th o
judge dispensation necessary. The
reason for setting aside the lenten obliga-
tion, it is claimed, is the prevailing in
finenza, which is making ravages in all
parts Of Europe and is thought to be preva-
lent in the United States. This decree, it Is
said, will be quite a surprise to Roman
Catholics, as 1T is stated to be the first one
of the kind ever issued in the history of the
church.

NASHUA, N. H., Feb. 22.--A new do
velopment of the strike at the Nashua COM
pany's mills is the posting of the following
notice, signed by Treasurer Amory of the
corporation:
BosToH, Feb. 81, 1890.
The recent revision OF the wages of the
Nashua Manufacturing Company was intended
to make the pay OF the operatives the same as
that in other similar mills. When fault was
any error would be corrected. It
Is, therefore, plain that the operatives
OF the Nashua company refuse to work for the
same wages paid elsewhere. Consequently the
responsibility for the closing Of mills must rest
entirely with the operatives The agent has
been instructed to keep the mills open until
Tuesday for those who may wish to return, but
II by that time sufficient number should not
come in the mills viii be closed.
