OF men unable 10 obtain employment.
About 100 Italian laborers who were en-
ployed grading I'm Jackson park were In

ployed men night before last. This
morning the contractors brought back
about twenty OF them and put them TO
work Ia one corner OF the park. A mob
of COO idlers soon came up, assailed the
Italians and drove them away. In an

for less than the union scale aud ordered
them 10 quit work. Several who did not
move fast enough were assaulted. but

Worlds Fair Feature
in 1893. ~-

LONDON, Feb. l6. - The prevailing
topic OF discussion in London IL to-day
just what IL was a week ago-the alleged
card cheating by Sir Gordon Cumming.
aud the feature which makes IL partIc4ls
larry distastefui tO the loyal Brlton and
exceedingly sayory To those papers dis
posed Ia criticise royalty and royalty's
indiscretions Is the participation Of the
Prime" OF Wales In the game during
which Sir & 'rdou allowed himself to
lapse from his position As n gentleman.
The weekly papers have come out vigor-
onsly against social gambling, and one
and all OF them attack the Prince. some
In a covert and sarcastic tone, while 9th
ers assume censorious and plain-spoken
vein. The tdH Mall Gd-efte for instance
adopts highly moral tone. and half lee
lures and half teaches the Prince In the
following forcible language:
The power of the throne l. indeed enor-
mously decreased and but a few forces are
now left as props 10 monarchy and the
greatest OF these forces is that OF example,
Ii Is this which gives importance 10 the un-
fortunate patronage which the Prince OF
Wales extends 10 high play. Gard play ing
for sums which people can afford 10 lose Is
not the same thing a. that other play
which drives young men 10 borrow at usur-
ious rates, drives older men to cheat drives
tnArried ladi-s to contract compromising
debts. It Is the leader OF English society
who should begin a reformation la this dl-
rec ion. The Prince of Wales is one of the
kindest hearted men In the world, Ia full Of
tact, and possessed Of great native shrewd-
ness. II these qualities were brought TO
bear on the matter OF unwlse card playing
they would make short work OF this gamb-
ling curse. What the prince forgets is that
he is as much a public character as Mr.. Par
nell. for example, and this fact he should
be bound 10 recognize. The present scandal
will do much good II II leads 10 his recognI-
tion OF IT,
This Is but one Of the criticisms that
London society has read and possibly

OF the leading labor exponents and some
OF the members of the labor committee

labor In Chicago To oust the Italians and
all other unorganized labor which Is en-
gagged In the preliminary work on the

interested il Ralph Beaumont, who
has been the representative or
Mr. Powderly and the Knights of Labor
In Washington. his work being 10 watch
labor bills and labor interests generally.
Recently he has been elected president
Of the National Citizens alliance, which
is an outgrowth OF the Farmers alliance.
Mr.. Beaumont said to-day that he was
watching the contest now going on In
Chicago, and IL was likely resolution
would be- introduced In congress at an
early date calculated To assist the
organized workingmen In Chicago in
their efforts. Before framing the exact

This was especially apparent when the
