COLD COMFORT.

Lord Salisbury SympathfZes With
 Laborers, But Doesn't Give Them
 Much Ence uragement.
 LONDON, May 11.-In accordance with the arrangement made by the conserva- tives after Mir. Gladstone had declined to receive 8 labor delegation to discuss the eight-hour question, Lord Salisbury agreed to receive deputation from the London trades council, and to-day he was waited upon by number of representatives from that body. The spokesman of the deputa- tion urged upon Lord Salisbury the neces- sity for the legal establishment of an eight hour day in order to equalize the condi- tions between those who are compelled to work for an excessive number of hours and those who are without work at all.
 In replying to the deputation Lord Salis- bury said they must not assume, because he had consented to receive them, that he had been converted to their views as to the necessity or expediency of establishing by law legal limit to the hours @ man should work. He deprecated their desire for legislation to attain their ends, and depend upon the slower but surer and ir- revocable action of public opinion in favor of shorter hours where economic cir circumstances rendered a reduction practi- cable. He could not, he said, conceive the same wages being paid for eight hours work as for longer time. He also declared that if the manufacturers were fatally handicapped by restrictive legisla tion they would leave the country. Hs sympathized with the demand of the work inRmen for more leisure, but asked then l to eaSsfully oonsidsS the matter.

 NEW YORK, May 11.-At the afternoon session of the Western Traffic association the subject of transcontinental passenger traffic commissions was considered.

THE BIMErALLIc CONFERENCE.

Acceptance by England of the Invita. ton to Fake Part in fts Delfbera- uons on the Free Coinage Question The Govern ment Prepared 10 Con.
 sfder the Views or the Deputations.
 LONDON, May 1.-The Rt. Rev George
 J. Goschen, chancellor of the excheouer,
 announced to 8 number of bimetallic depu-
 tations that waited upon him to-day that England would accept the invitation of the
 United States to take part in an inter national conference to discuss the silver question. MT. Goschen said that Great Britain had received an invitation on Mon day last from the United States to send delegates to the convention for the pur- pose of examining into what measures can be taken to increase the use of silver in the currency systems of the nations. It would be seen that in accepting the invi- tation the government would not commit itself in any way to any actual principle.
 The United States government had doubtless framed the invitation in a man. ner that would make it easy for the vari- ous countries invited to take part in the conference to accept. In arriving at this decision the government had been guided by consideration for such large industries as were represented by the members of the deputation. The government, he said, would also bear in mind the views and interests of India. The fact that the gov ernment would accept the invitation i'm posed upon it 6 discretion which he was sure the deputation would appreciate. In conclusion MT. Goschen stated that the government was prepared, so far as it lay in its power, to consider the views of the deputations. He trusted that the con ference would go far in the direction of arriving at . satisfactory conclusion of a vexed question, and that it would meet all the difficulties that had been raised. Mir Goschen's statement was received with long applause.
