LONDON, May MAY day demonstra-
tions were held today in most of the
large cities of Great Britain and the
continent, and in the various manufac-
turing and mining districts. Advices
thus far show that the day passed har-
moniously, if not quietly.
A black bag containing gun cotton,
dynamite and gunpowder. also belt
filed with cartridges, and several docu-
ments written in foreign languages, was
found beside Woolrich arsenal today.
No fuse was attached, and it does not
appear that an attempt was made to
cause an explosion.
A large procession formed on the
Thames embankment and marched to
Hyde park, where monster meeting
was held. Addresses we're made by
Cunningham, Graham, Tom Mann, Ben
Tllett, and Stepriack, the Russian Nj
hilist. Resolutions were adopted de-
claring in favor Of an eight-lfour day,
and calling upon parliament to pasc an
eight-hour bill. No disturbance oc-
Cured, although the demonstration was
the largest ever organized in this city.
The workingmen began to assemble
on the bank at 10 O'Clock, each contin-
gent headed by a band of music, and
every contingent carried banners, while
the men themselves were bedecked
with rosettes and flowers. The process
sion marched in perfect order and with
almost military precision. 1t occupied
nearly three hours in entering Hyde
park, and it is estimated that from 300,-
600 to 100000 men participated. A
large force of mounted and foot police
and a contingent of the ambulance
association were present. The assem-
blage dispersed quietly.
Demonstrations were held in Dublin,
Manchester, Glasgow and most of the
large towns Of Great Britain and Ireland.
They were modelled after the Hyde park
meeting, but on smaller scale; they
were attended by no disturbance.

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.
A Moderate Improvement I'm Corn and
Falling on In Spring Wheat.

A Moderate improvement I'm Corn and n
Failing on In Spring Wheat.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l0.-The August
returns of the department of agricul-
culture make the condition of corn
s2.5 against si.1 in July; spring
wheat S7.3 against 900 in July.
In only four years since the.initiation
of crop reporting has there been u
lower August condition. In the year
of worst failure-1ssl-it was 70, de-
clining to Sc in October. In 1890 it
was 70, declining to TO- 6 in October. In
August, 1886, it was s0.7 and in 1887
it was sO.5, declining later only in the
latter year. A slight improvement is
indicated in the states north of the
Ohio river and greater advance in
the states west of the Mississippi
river, except Kansas and Nebraska.
Condition is higher in nearly all the
Southern states, nearly the same as in
July west of the Mississippi, higher in
the lower states on the Atlantic coast
and slightly lower in Alabama and
Mississippi. A small decline is seen
in the middle states, except New
York, and also in the Eastern
states, Ihough In Dotn OF these dlvlS-
ions the average is higher than in the
West. The following average of prin-
cipal states is given: New York, 90;
Pennsylvania, s6; Virginia, 90; Georgia,
OF; Texas, al; Tennessee, 92;
Ohio, 81; Indiana, IA; Illinois, 73; Iowa,
70; Missouri, SO; Kansas, 81: Nebraska,
80. Most correspondents indicate
present tendency to further improve
ment.
The returns relative to spring wheat
are lower, declining during the month
from general average of 90.9 to 81. 3.
The reduction is from 80 to SO in Wis
| consin; 90 to 81 in - Minnesota,
and 90 to IS in North Dakota
There has been slight ad-
vance in South Dakota and Nebraska,
with no change in Iowa In the
mountain states condition is generally
high. In Washington a decline is re-
ported from 90 to 7s as result of the
blighting heat, and in Oregon from 81
to 76.
Conditions of other crops average as
follows: Spring rye, 1913 instead of

while there was not much for

There was no competitive drill, be-

Both looked well and were greeted

| Various Carnegie Mills Well Supplied
With Men-Anonymous Threats.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 1O.-The flag
raised at the upper Union mills of the
Carnegie company yesterday, Superin-
tendent Dillon says, was tioated as ali
emblem of victory. Every train of
| rolls in that plant is now in operation
on single turn and before the end of
| of the week will probably be on
double turn.
A flag was raised at Duquesne to-day,
| and superintendent Potter says he will
| also float one over the Homestead
| mills. About 700 men are at work at
| the Union mills and nearly 400 at
| Homestead. Duquesue is in need of
| only Y a few more men to put the mill
| on double turn.
XPermanent houses for the Home
| stead men are being rapidly con-
structed. 1t is expected at least fifty
| houses will be built before cold
weather. This new town will be
built on the upper part of the company
| property. 1t has already been laid
out into lots and will be a model town
with gas, sewerage and electric
lights.
In Alderman McMaster's mail yes

posted in New York city at noon on
Monday, written in cramped and
pushed hand, probably disguised, and

Alderman McMasters, Pittsburg. Pa:
| Dear Sir-Some time this week party
of men will leave here and will try to kill
| you and Superintendent Frick again.
| Alderman McMasters has been in
Michigan for two weeks. His mail is
opened by his constable, Joseph Web
ber. The anonymous letter was turned
over to the alderman's attorney, who,
after reading it. said: 81 suspect that
letter was written here and was sent
to New York to be mailed. All the at
torneys engaged in prosecuting the
Homestead riot cases have within 9

threatening character, but tn ey have

Other officials of the Carnegie COM
pany are still receiving letters threat
ening their lives.
John Reams, a non-union workman
employed at thesupper Union mill, was
assaulted by two men while on his
| way 10 WORK tnlS morning and
badly beaten. His assailants were
arrested and taken to the station house
where they were recognized as Edward
Zinner, striker, and Thomas Conners,
a former employee. This is the first
trouble since the beginning of the
strike at the Union mills.
This morning at Homestead the
firm secured thirty-five new men to
take the places of those who deserted
yesterday and two or three additional
left. The mill seems to be operating
smoothly in a number of departments
although the locked out men claim
that they have indisputable evidence
that the product is very costly and
poor in quality.
