. LONDON, Aug. 16.-A serious hitch
has arisen in the negotiations between
the striking workmen in Wales and
their employers, greatly impairing the
prospects of speedy termination of
the difficulties. The men submitted to
the companies scheme of settlement
which the latter promised to consider.
1t was believed that the agreement
would be accepted, but the companies
after considering the matter have Aub-
stituted form of agreement differing
In every important particular from the
one framed by the men.
The men are greatly incensed and
threaten general strike on Monda y
which will involve a large number of
workmen not hitherto included in the
struggle. 1t is thought that the result
of the fight will be the placing of
wages on a sliding scale.

DUBLIN, Aug. 16.-From all along the
west coast of Ireland the most discour-
aging intelligence is received regard
ing the potato cIEp. Grave fears are
entertained that the country is about
to be visited by a terrible famine. when
the heart-rendering scenes of 1913 and
1S49 may be repeated. In the Gweedor Q
district on the northwest coast, the
yield Is already regarded as hopelessly
lost. The Westport Guardian" says
that the reports from Achill, or Eagle
Island, off the west coast, are worse
than those received up to the same

New York, Aug. 16.-The situation
of affairs in the New York Central
Railroad strike was much the same to-
day az on the day before. One side had
won the battle, the other had victory
in its hands, and both were correspond
ingly happy.
The presence of Mr.. Powderly and
the Executive Board in the city has had
a good effect on the strikers, and loud
claims are now made that the Knights
will win or q big strike will follow.
All are anxiously awaiting the result
of Mr.. Powderly's interview with Mr..
Webb.
Those who claim to know say that q
compromise will be arrived at which
will be satisfactory to both parties and
which cannot be looked at in the light
of a backdown for either side.
1t is limited that Mr.. Webb is NOR 6
favorably disposed for an amicable set
element than At first, and that the de-
termined stand the company took
regarding the men whom It Is sought
to have reinstated can be bridged over
in such a way that no concession will
appear to be made.
In any event the ordering of an ex-
tension of the strike on the entire
Vanderbilt system is looked upon as q
very remote contingency.

PINE GROVE, Pa, Aug. ia mar
riage was solemnized here last evening
which aroused the interest of the whole
community In no ordinary degree. The
interest was intensified when &c was
learned that the husband had started
on his wedding tour abruptly and alone,

he left the house and was seen no more.
He carried with him, she says, 81, 00O
