LONDON, May 5.-Although the gov
eminent organs seek to minimize the
Importance ofyesterday's gigantic labor
demonstration. all of the newspapers
unite in pralsing the conduct OF the
workingmen, and pointing with pride
to the general good order which pre-
vailed, at the same time calling atten-
ton to the turbulence which has almost
without exception characterized SIM
liar manifestations on the continent.
The Conservative papers greatly under
estimate the numerical strength Of the
gathering, and are inclined to
aScribe the present agitation for an
eight-hour day and the amelioratlon OF
the condition of the workingmen in
other respects. to causes for which the
present government is no way response
bic, but is anxious to modify or remove.
AS to the probable results OF the demon
stration these journals profess to be-
lieve that they will be small in cOmpar-
ison with the eXtentof the demands, but
there is no doubt that the country has
been profoundly impressed by the mag
nitude of the meeting, the admirable
bearing of the men and the justice OF
many of their grievances. One of the
most interesting questions growing out
of the demonstration is what, if any,
will be the action of Postmaster General
Raikes in regard to the 1000 postmen
who marched in the procession as an Or
ganiZed body. The rules OF the post
Office department are very strict III pro-
hibiting the
UniOnizing oflts Employees,
and they have hitherto kept aloof from
public meetings and other manifesto
tons in the interests OF labor except as
individuals. Their action yesterday is
regarded as a piece of defiance of which
the department must take some notice.
Charles Bradlaugh having accepted the
invitation of John Burns to debate the
eight-hour question, the discussion will
shortly take place in some large hall,
which is sure to be filled to overlooking.
The Spectator has paid Michael Dayitt
the sum of se250 with costs in confession
of its recent libelouS utteranceS against
him. The Italian government is furious
in it's anger at the action of Capt. Casati
in entering the African service of Ger
many, and will, il is stated, demand his
immediate withdrawal. CaSati asserts
that the Italians never asked him TO

therefore, that he was at perfect liberty
to make any engagements he saw fit.

chased the ancient chamber of torture at
Nuremburg. Germany, together with all
its implements and appliances still in
existence. The purchase is made for
exhibition purposes. The strikes are
breaking up throughout Spain, except
in Valencia and Barcelona, where the
men still hold out. The Berlin Reichs-
anzeiger. announcing the German gov
ernment'S intention to introduce
bill to
increase the Field Artillery
by seventy batteries and the army corps
by special troops. says the state of
things among Germany's neighbors
does not admit of continuance Of the
present system, under which the artil-
lery strength is maintained at the eX-
penSe of the infantry. 1t is therefore
necessary to fix anew the effectiveness
of those arms and TO increase the cav
airy and infantry on the western and
eastern frontiers. In the debate in the
Italian senate on the charities bill to-

nets dissolution, OF its reconstruction
