FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Critical Situation Now Existing
in London.
The Trouble in the Postoffice
Department.

One Event That VIII Probably Hasten a
Settlement of the Difference Between
the Postmaster General and His EN-
pIOyes - Various Other Foreign Dis
patches.
LONDON, July 5.-The conduct of the
staff of telegraph clerks in the general
Office in London, in answering the call
for cheers for the queen and Postmaster
General Raikes with groans, on the oc-
casion of the postal jubilee at South
Kensington Thursday, has greatly en-
ragged Mr. Raikes, and viii doubtless
hasten settlement of the differences
now existing between the telegraphers
and the postofice department through a
strike or the resignation of Mr.. Raikes.
The matter is the topic of wide dis
cussion and the general opinion Is that
if the queen has been publicly insulted
Mr.. Raikes is responsible for it. 1t ap-
pears that at the finale of the jubilee 1t
was arranged by connection of the wires
that there should be simultaneous
cheer for the queen in every telegraph
station throughout the kingdom.
Two Thousand people were waiting In
the general office to hear the manifesto
ton of loyalty to their sovereign, to
which the telegraphers Were expected to
give vent when the signal should be
given. The signal was flashed over the
wires, and the assembled Britons were
Mortified when there burst forth from
the thToats of the general staff a hoarse
groan, whose depth was not relieved by
O single cheer.
Scarcely had the groan ceased when
another and deeper one followed as an
expression of the feeling entertained by
the clerks toward Mr. Raikes. Yester
day the postmaster general ordered thai
the clerks sign an apology for their con
duct, and the demand was promptly ant
unqualifiedly refused, the spokesmen O.
the clerks declaring that the men did no
feel that they had done anything fol
which they should apologize, but ON th'
contrary would repeat their manifesto
ton so far as Mr.. Raikes was concerned
in similar circumstances.
