Due 10 Labor Troubles.

LoSDoS, Oct. l5--In the dead calm
preceding the meeting of parliament
the attention OF Great Britain has been
directed 10 the perennial troubles be-
tween Turkey anu Russia. NJ. Shish-
kin, the bulldozing chief of the foreign
Office in st. Petersburg since NJ. De-
Glers retired. Is about TO follow up his
protest against the reception of STAN
bulot by the Sultan. by protest
against further fortlfying of the Bos-
phorous and the Dardanells under the
direction OF the Belgian general, Brial-
mont.
The final report of Brialmont was
Land before the sultan this week. lie
Is understood To have pronounced the
artillery OF the present Notifications
at the entrance 10 the Black sea to be
sufficient. This artillery consists of
heavy krupp guns of recent pattern.
The armor of the Notifications, how
ever, 10 considered by Bralmont TO be
OF the poorest. New gun carriages TO
facilitate the mobility of the guns are
also necessary. These Improvements
Will cost the sultan many million
pounds, which he can III afford TO
spend in the present disordered condi-
ton of Turkish finances. Neverthe-
less there is little doubt that Brial-
mont's recommendations wall be ap-
proved by the porte which has been
put IN fever of apprehension by the
high handed way IN which Shishkin
has been laying down demands and re-
proofs in Constantinople recently.
Turkey VIII BE Ready
General Brallmont will return To Bel
gum late this month 10 take his seat
IN the Belgian chamber. He will be IN
constant communication with the sui
tan's military advisors. however, and
the work on the Notifications will be
pressed forward with all haste, so that
Turkey may be ready for the ultima
tum from 1t. Petersburg. In the spring
he will again go to Constantinople to
superintend personally for short time
the most important details of the work.
The beating of the big drum in Ber-
lin, preparatory to the introduction of
the military bill. was begun this week
when the recall of the German military
attache of legation 10 ST. Petersburg
and Of the Russian military attache of
legation in Berlin was semi-otiicially
announced. This exchange of discour-
tesies was made of course at Russia
consequence of Germany's refusal
to consider the placing of Rus
sian loan in Berlin, and the
comforting with the cars representa-
tlves as to closer commercial relations
between the countries. Nevertheless
Russin's action ls represented as q
warning of the growing hostility which
is likely to end soon IN war. Hence
the hundred or more millions desired
by the government for the army should
be granted to the Reichstag. and no
body should grumble if the army be
increased by 10000 or 100000 men.
This is an old trick of Prince Bismarck
turned to account by Chancellor Won
Caprivi.
France Fears Dynamite.
All eyes in France are upon the Car
maux strikers at present. The men
have been out two months and are
desperate, and the management, de-
spite the popular cutlery against 1T, re-
fused tc yield. Anarchist agltators
have all gone TO the Tarn district TO
stir the men to violence, and there is
little doubt that dynamite has been
smuggied into the houses of the Car
maux miners. Twenty detectives are
on the ground to hunt down dynamite
plots, but so far have had no success.
Everybody fears that next week will
see the beginning Of a series of dyna.
