LONDON, April l6.-The present out
look throughout the continent for peace
able obs rvance of May day is much bet
ter than it was a few days ago, though
there is still likelihood that the day
Will be marked by disorder in some local
tiles. In Germany the attitude of the
working class is less formidable than
elsewhere, though there will be perhaps
spasmodIc attempts to create riots i'll
larger towns. German woFkingmen are
not by any means in favor of general
demonstration on that day, but on the
contrary, a large majority are opposed
to any conceivable movement. In Aus
tria, however, the situation is different,
and it is almost certain that there will
be trouble, there, the responsibility for
which must return upon the government.
The weak submission Of authorizes
in recent riots in Vienna, Pesth and
other places has emboldened worklngmen
to increase their demands and given
them confidence that they will be COM
piled with. The feeling of the better
classes against the government, arising
from its neglect to summon Mill
tary and promptly and effectively
Quell disorder, is also increasing with
their apprehensions that the authorities
will again demonstrate their Incompetence
at the expense of the Iaw-abiding ele-
ment.
CAPRIvI NOT COMPLEMENTARY TO BIS
MARCK.
The absence from general commenda-
ton of Chancellor Caprivi's speech in the
l..
mentarv allusion to the address on the
part of Prince Bismarck is regarded as
especially significant, and has excited
widespread comment. While 1t was not to
be expected that the ex-chancell0r would
effusively complim ent his successor upon
the occasion of his maiden speech in his
new capacity, it was confidentially be-
lieved that he would at least extend his
congratulations, and his failing to do so
IS accepted as evidence that the breach
between the kaiser and himself has be-
come still further and irreparably wider.
sHUFTLED OFF.
Lieut.. Wordsworth of the British
army, son of the Rt. Rev. John
Wordsworth, bishop of Salisbury, and
granddaughter Of the poet Wordsworth,
committed suicide at Worcester to-day.
ASKED TO CONTEST A SEAT.
The Liberal committee of North Ken
sington has asked Sir Charles Dixie to
contest that seat as a Liberal candidate.
Although it is known that Sir Charles IS
anxious TO return to public life, ii is
doubtful that he will consent to
make his first effort to that end,
in the division Of which gave its seat to
nearly 1000 majority. He is undoubtedly
one of the ablest men in England, and
has well nigh outlived the stigma which
was put upon him Z few years ago by
what many men now believe TO nave
Been q systematic system of false swear
ing instigated By men guilty of offenses
more heinous than the one with which
he was charged. That he Will ultimately
resume his position in parliament nobody
doubts. but it will probably not be as
member from North Kensingtou.
GERMAN TRADES UNIONS
are discussing the question of forming
joint central committee, which shall pos
cess sole power of ordering strikes, de-
terminiug whether such movements are
justihable or feasible, conducting nego-
t1ations between employees and employer,
and, in fact, assume entire direction Of
labor movements. Upon this COM
mittee every trade will be represented,
and its decisions are by the
terms OF its creation to be final.
There appears to be a general sentiment
IN favor of the formation of such q body,
and discussion of the matter is confined
to details rather than to principle.
TO PURCHASE AN ENTIRE VILLAGE.
The Krupps have concluded arrange
ments for the purchase of the entire viii
lage of Alsendorf, which they propose
converting into vast workshop.
