The labor -'troubIes in Eancssbi,

The labor troubles In Lancashire,
England, which ended by comprom,se,
take rank a. the areetest stsu2gle be-
tween capital and labor which fh6 world
has seen. The campaign lasted twenty
weeks, involved directly and indirectly
125, 200 employees, and cost in loss OF
wages alone $40, 100000. Each side was
equally willing at the outset to engage
in test of strength, and at last they
were just as glad to call truce with
the honors even. Great sacrifices have
been endured, with no result, save that
both parties to the conflict have had all
desire for fight taken out of them, and
the advantages of mutual compromise
arc for the time being fully conceded.
The operatives have in the terms of
peace conceded just shade more than
tho masters, but there has been really no
victory for either side. The plans agreed
upon for settling future disputes seem
to be the best ever devised thus far.
They assure the necessary stability In the
cotton market by limiting all future
changes to five per cent. at intervals oil
not less than one year.

Mr.. Lccch, director of the United

OF the Admins ration to maintain gold

The net gold in the Treasury, over and
above the 500, 600, 900 gold reserve, is
5000, 900. This accounts for the gold
taken from the New York sub treasury
for export and also for gold offered and
accepted from Boston bankers. 1t does,
not, however, include the cold which
was offered to the government from San
Francisco aud Roanoke, Va. These
amounts will appear in the Treasury fig
ures when the actual exchange is made.
Secretary Carlisle is much encouraged
at what he terms the 'patriotic position
taken by the Boston bankers - He took
