THE LONDON POLICE.
A General Strike of the Consta 5ulary
Narrowly Averted.

LONDON, July 1.-THE agitation among
the police force is increasing. A consta-
BILE attached to the Bow-street station
who was transferred to another division,
attempted to make a farewell address to
his comrades in the station-house today,
but was ordered to desist by an inspector.
A disorderly scene followed. The as
sembled constables elected the inspec-
tor from the room in which they
were gathered. He was then seized
by some men and thrown over balus-
trade and narrowly escaped being killed.
Another inspector, while parading a
number of men in the yard. narrowly
escaped being hit on the head by spit
toon thrown from window. Policemen
in uniform and civilians clothing, as
sembled on the street. Delegates from
other divisions reached Bow street later
in the day, and it was declared that
a strike of the entire metropolitan force
would occur tonight. The constables
telegraphed Home Secretary Matthews
that at meeting on Saturday it was re-
solved that you be asked to reply today
to the moderate demands of our petit
ton. II the answer is in the affirmative,
disastrous strike will be avoided"
1t is stated that the new chief OF police
has adopted an unusual mode of pro-
cedure. Ordinarily the reports OF officers
against infractions of discipline are sub
mitted to the Scotland yard authorities,
where the men implicated have their
cases settled; but now it is alleged such
cases are handled hastily and the men
not given a fair opportunity to make
explanation.
LONDON, July 8.-The home secretary,
chief of police and other high officials
met at the Bow-street station last night
to discuss the situation. 1t is reported
that the constables evinced much repug-
nance to going on duty, but yielded to
the pressure of their officers. The
streets are now quiet, and the military
have been withdrawn.

Forfeiture Bill Discussed.

Mr.. Bland Makes Statement-The Land
Forfeiture Bill Discussed.
WASHINGTON, July I'm the house
today, Bland, rising to a question of
privilege, had read a dispatch stating
that he was absent from the silver con-
ference meeting Saturday. He also
read a note from Chairman Conger stat
ing that there would be no meeting
Saturday. He did not desire to be ad-
vertised as not attending to his duty
when he was notified that his presence
was not required.
After the transaction of some other
business, the house went into committee
of the whole for consideration of the
senate bill to forfeit certain lands here
tofore granted for the purpose of aiding
the construction of railroads, with the
house substitute therefor.
Payson explained that the bill in it's
general provisions proposed to forfeit
and restore to the public domain all
public lands, wherever situated, which
have been granted in aid of construction
where the railroads have not been COM
pleted at this time. There had been
thirty-seven railroads aided by acts of
congress which had not been completed
within the time fixed by congress. The
grants of twelve of these roads had been
forfeited, comprising nearly $4,000, 900
acres. That left twenty-five roads which
had not been acted upon. Nine had
been fully completed. That left sixteen
roads now uncompleted, and the house
substitute recommended the forfeiture
of all lands lying opposite such portions
of the roads as were not now constructed.
It was his opinion that bill of a
broader character than this could never
pass the senate and become law. A
careful estimate was to the effect that

He Believes That He and Secretary Blaine
Will Yet Arrive at an Amicable
Agreement.
Associated Press Dispatches.

ASSo
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE sensational
article was printed today to the effect that
the British minister, Sir Julien Paunce-
fote, had broken off the Bering-sea ne
gotiations with Mr.. Blaine and notified
him that if American cutters seized any
sealers carrying the British flag, British
war ships would recover them by force
if necessary. Stories of this kind have
appeared frequently during the past
year, and this particular story was
shown this evening to Sir Julien Paunce-
fote. He said: 81 have made no COM
munication of the kind to Mr.. Blaine.
There are, no doubt, some of our
vessels in the North Pacific ocean to
protect the British flag and our sealers,
but 1 have not broken off negotiations,
and there is no reason to expect dis
turbance of the friendly relations exist
ing between the two governments. Mr.
Blaine has left for Bar Harbor for the
benefit of his health, and am about to
go to Manchester, by sea, and shall
there continue negotiations with Myi
Blaine" "
Sir Julien was not aware OF what
structions had been given the Bu
fleet, but thought it very unlikel
during friendly negotiations az kg
would occur on one side or II her
likely to provoke any dis1 Kces.
"The great point is," he adj nego-
tiations have not been brol Dff, and
these alarming reports, really do
much harm, are not ca

tions would be sufficient to secure a
closed season. The two governments are
agreed that the seal species should be
preserved, but differ as to what means
are necessary to that end 1t is be'

matter will be reached.
The next question is as to the legal
right of the United States to the entire
possession and control of the seal fish
cries OF Bering sea, to the exclusion and
deprivation of Great Britain and other
countries. Great Britain regards that as
a question of law, and hopes it will be
left to settlement by arbitration.

Do We E;a.a E,aSlandr

No; we do not hate England, say, In
The North American Review, sympo-
sium OF writers as follows: T. w. Hig-
ginson, Andrew Carnegie, Murat Hal
stead, Gen. Horace Porter, Rev. Robert
Collyer, Gen. James III. Wilson and
Mayo w. Hazeltine. They give their
impressions in answer to Goodwin
Smiths paper on American hatred Of
England. Still, most of them admit that
there is in some quarters in this country
a prejudice against Great Britain, very
little one, that is, and each in his way
explains it.
Col. Higginson, whose ancestors came
over in the Mayfower, says the English
and American nations dislike each other
cordially, as a whole, but love each other
dearly as individuals, and he quotes
Hawthornes remark: "If an Englishman
were individually acquainted with every
one of our 25,000,0 900 of Americans and
liked every one of them, and believed
that each man of those millions was a
Christian, honest, upright and kind, he
would doubt, despise and hate them in
the aggregate, however he might love
them as individuals"
Andrew Carnegie writes that adult
Americans like England, but that the
young people, fresh from the study Of
the revolutionary war, do cherish vague
bitterness toward the mother country,
but that, too, is dispelled in time. Our
wars henceforth are to be industrial
ones Murat Halstead says there is no
such thing on this continent as hatred
of England, and he is surprised that SO
much misinformation can be concen-
trated in few pages. Horace Porter
observes that when Goldwin Smith un-
dertook to write about American hatred
of England he merely wanted some
thing craggy to break his mind against" !"
Gen. Porter, Robert Collyer, Gen. Will
son and Mr.. Hazeltine all cast into the
teeth of the old country her open hostil-
ity to the Union during the critical days
of the civil war, and yet they affirm that
even then we do not hate England, for
the wounded feeling is passing away.
Mr.. Hazeltine says there is on the part
of English descended Americans an
earnest longing to be the best of friends
with the old country, and when England
is ready to love us we shall be ready to
love her back again.

MINNESOTA FARMERS.
The Executive Committee of
State Alliance Holds a Ses-
sion at st. Paul.
Report of the Binding Twine
Committee and Other Mat
ters Discussed.
The Question of Putting an Alliance
Ticket in the Field to Be De-
cided June 16.

Sr. PAUL, June 9.-The executive
committee of the Minnesota Farmers
alliance met at st. Paul Thursday and
continued in session until Saturday, dis
cussing matters of Importance to the
farmers of the state. The matter
of putting an alliance ticket in
the field was discussed and it
was decided not to settle the mat
ter definitely until the next meeting,
which will be June 16, when
the executive committee will
reassemble for full discussion
of the matter. On Friday the
committee met behind closed
doors and for three hours wrestled with
the proposition of the loaning of money
by an English company to members Of
the alliance throughout the state
at rate of interest below that re-
quired by the banks, which, in the
northern part of the state, is
about 10 per cent. The English
company proposed to loan money on the
usual basis of security, to members of
the alliance only, at 81 per cent per
annum. The alliance committee thought
this was too high, however, and wanted
to get rate of per cent. This the
loaners could not do without communi-
eating with the English side of the COM
pany, and the matter was accordingly
laid over few days.
The binding twine question was
discussed, and it was determined to rec
ommend to the governor that plant for
making the twine be introduced into the
prison at Saltwater. The next legisla-
ture is also to be asked to provide for
the furnishing of binding twine to farm
ers at cost. The alliance also con-
sidered proposition from Mr.. Harts-
horn, of Paterson, n j., to furnish the
alliance binding twine in limited guam
titles at the rate of III cents per pound
f. o. b. This is to be ordered through
the state agents of the alliance and
credit until after harvest is offered
where desired. The committee decided
to accept the proposition if the manu-
facturer would provide suitable guaran-
taoo

bismarck and William.

Having got rid of Bismarck in bus
council of. state, Emperor William is
now endeavoring to clap an extinguisher
on him so he cannot talk. He threatens
unless Bismarck shuts up and ceases to
criticise the imperial policy that he will
make it very uncomfortable for the ex-
chancellor.
What Bismarck's meditations are at
this time it would be hard to describe.
Probably language, English or German,
would fail to do justice to the subject.
William was the child of Bismarck fos-
tering care. He brought him up on the
Bismarck model, to dislike the English
and snub his own mother. William was
to represent the idea of imperialism in
its grandest form, the idea Bismarck
spent his life to advance. Blood and
iron were the forces ON which the lad
was taught to depend for the perpetuity
of his realm. He was taught to brook
no contradiction of the imperial viii.
And now the boy of Bismarcks love
and pride turns and rends him. William
learned his lessons too well. That is the
trouble. But William must learn one
more lesson, learn in his turn the lesson
that Bismarck is learning now in lonei
ness and silence; that it takes higher.
Hndlier power than brute force to wiz
in the long run.
Morris tribune., 1890-06-11

Now is the time of year for the vii
lage improvement association to get in
its best work. Under its fostering care
weedy, malaria breeding commons can
be turned into beautiful parks; muddy,
impossible roads can be changed to
smooth turnpikes and graveled walks,
while barren, dusty streets can be made
bowers Of beauty by splendid maple and
chestnut shade trees. Hearty co-opera-
ton on the part of farmers and villagers
would in a few years make our Ameri-
can landscape as lovely as that of Eu-
rope, which has known the touch that
beauties for centuries. For mans touch

What the New Census Will Find.

houses fitted with steam and hot water
heat instead of fires-a house at a sum-

It was not so much fun being census
enumerator as numbers Of young men
ambitious to serve their government
thought it would be when they secured
appointments. Threats Of what would
be done when certain troublesome ques-
tions were asked had effectually fright
ened off some of them ,and when the morn
ing of June 3 came they had as many ex-
cuses to offer as the wedding guests Of the
New Testament. Others were so rough
ly handled that they weakened after the
first hour and resigned. One enumera-
tor in New York was so upset in his
mind as the time approached that few
days before June he went on pro
longed spree and ended by committing
suicide with Rough ON Rats.
