1t is said that the little King of Spain,

having great fun with pony and bicycle.
He is growing tall, strong and self-willed,

LONDON SOCIETY SHOCKED.
Sweating Establishments Found In the
Heart Of the City's Fashionable West
End - Americans Paying High-Class
Prices for Slop Shop Work.
rBY CABLE TO THE p1sPArcH.I

LONDON, Nav 28.-The Evening Nescs and
Post, an enterprising Tory half-penny pa
per, which has from the first led the move
ment for restricting immigration of desti-
tute aliens to this country, has discovered
that the evil of the sweating system" In
the tailoring trade is BY no means confined
to the East End of London. The foreigners,
chiefly Hebrews, as in Whitechapel have
established prosperous sweating business
in the West End, and their foul workrooms,
where men and women work long hours for
starvation wages, are largely patronized by
the best and most fashionable firms in Re
gent street and neighborhood.
A reporter found two men and seven
women at work upon high-class goods in
room 12 feet long, 8 feet broad and or
feet high, situated over stables. The en-
plover, of course, was foreigner, and he
contracted for work at sixpencs or seven
pence per hour, for which he paid his
people twopence or threepence per hour.
In other words, he was sweater
of the orthodox East End type,
and the knowledge of his presence
in the West End is calculated to cause
a severe shock to the gilded youth of May
fair and their American imitators, who con-
tentedly pay orpromise to pay e1orbitant
prices for their garments under the impress
sion that they are made by the best English
tailors.
Opinions differ as to means of stemming
the pauper influx. Secretary Finn, of the
London Tailors' Union, thinks that foreign
ers should not be allowed to work for less
than union rates, but he has no clear idea
as to how such prohibition could be en-
forced. A majority of respectable tailors,
British and foreign, strongly advocate an
imposition of a poll tax of some kind upon
foreign workmen landing on these shores,
coupled with a general regulation of immi-
grafton on American lines
A curious effect, BY the way, of the dras-
tic rules enforced in New York, is felt in
London. Knowledge of American severity
has evidently spread throughout Europe,
with the result that destitute aliens who in
the old days would have gone direct to the
United States, now come first to England,
with the intention of earning enough money
to qualify them to pass through Uncle
Sans jealously guarded portals

LONDON, May 2S-Early in the last
century Francis Barring, a poor Lutheran
pastor from Bremen, set up in business in
Devonshire as a wool merchant. Four of
realm-the Earl of Northbrook, Lord Ash
burton, Lord Revelstoke and Sir Evelyn
Barring, British resident at Cairo, who
has Just been elevated to the peerage. The
fall of the firm of Barring Brothers has
shattered Lord Revelstokes health and
ruined his fortunes, but the reconstructed
firm is said to be doing well.
The Muriettas, who once aspired to equal
ity with the Barings in the financial world,
are also in perilous condition now. This
week the old French furniture and objects
of art collected from all parts of the world
by the chiefs of the family in the days of
their prosperity, have been sold at auction.
Good prices were realized, as much as
81, 900 having been paid for suite of Louis
XIV. carved and gilt furniture for salon,
and s. 600 for a set of four Louis XVI.
carved and gilt fauteuils. Dresden and
other china fetched prices which proved
that in spite of bad times there is still
plenty of monev in London.
p The Messrs. Murietta's great town man
sion was also put up at auction this week
after an Intellectual attempt to sell it pri-
vately to an Ambassador said to be Mon
sier Waddington, of France. The house
occupies one of the finest sites in London,
being situated at the extreme east end of
Carlton House terrace overlooking the
Horse Guards parade, and commanding a
view of the whole of Hjamess Park. 1t is
held on lease direct from the Crown for an
unexpired term of 691f years at
ground rent of S433 per annum. Its first
tenant was the Duke of Hamilton, who sold
1t to the Duke of Newcastle, from whom it
was purchased by the late Earl Granville.
Mr.. De Murietta paid the Earl ECO, 600 for
it in 1887, and in five years spent another
s2O, 900 on the house in decorations, cleo
trio lighting, etc.
The highest bid the auctioneer could get
was e50, ,000 and the property was with
drawn, but it was sold BY private contract
yesterday for e55, 600. 1t is considered that
the purchaser has secured bargain.

famous are attached.

Too Much Of 1t on Sale in London to Keep
Up tho Prices.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.l
LONDON, May ga great sale of port
wine in London this week, the biggest on
record, has not produced such prices as were
anticipated. 1t was thought that 10000
pipes would fetch about s40 pipe, pro-
ducing a total of s400,0OO. The prices
hitherto secured, however, are about 80 or
40 per cent below the estimate, and it is not
thought the sale will produce more than
e25o, ZOO.
The decline in the price is attributed to
the fact that 1000 pipes we're disposed of
at sale last week, and that the market has
therefore been to a certain extent fore
stalled. The magnitude of this sale may
be gathered from the fact that the 10000
pipes, which covered acres of ground at the
docks, are equal to 1000, 600 bottles,

Get That Rail-.

Messrs. Herbert and Markham
went to Denver this week and de
voted some time to the Touring mill
question while there. They were in
formed that if Prowers county ex-
pected the company, who contem-
plated the erection of this mill, to
begin its erection and to build the
mill, the people would have to do
their share towards securing it.
The required bonus as heretofore
published in the REGISTER will have
to be raised if we want the mill, and
the time is getting very short.
On the return of these gentlemen
immediate action was taken by the
Board of Trade and town council,
and meeting of the farmers and
citizens of Prowers county was called
to meet at Browns hall this after
noon at two o'clock
The action of the people at that
meeting will probably determine the
mill question for 1892, and it is
sincerely to be hoped that the at
tendance of wide awake people of
Prowers county will be such as to
insure this important enterprise.
