THE JEWISH TAILORs
of the East End OF London began their
strike to-day for better wages. comfortable
workshops and reasonable hours which
means an end of the sweating system. They
had given the employers until Saturday to
come TO decision as 70 the demands. and
no concession being offered the strike be
gan. The employers are independent, be
cause they believe that the places can
readily be filled from the emigrantS now
pouring into London. The strike was
opened by an immense meeting. at which
addresses were delivered in the Hebrew
language, expressing the firm determination
that the system OF home work must cease

strikers.

AvAssAL OF THE QUEEN.
1t has been decided by the government
TO give the two emissaries of the African
king. Gugunhama, an official reception ON
the ground that their master IS a vassal of
the queen, portion of his territory being
within British influence, although the
greater part is in the Portuguese sphere.
Before the British South Africa company
gets through with Portugal. however. it Is
probable that the whole Of GugmhamaS
domain will be British. 1t is said that the
African king does not want TO recognize the
Portuguese as rulers. because ne insists,
on account of their dusky color that they
are
AFRICANS, LIKE HIMSELF.
and that 1t would be beneath his dignity
to submit to another African race There

him under her protection. The ENJOYS at

impressed. They will be taken 10 Vic naval

as they had heard all about Englands
