| The London Times takes hopeful view
of the strike and assumes that it is break.
ing down from its own weight as much ss
from government action. 1t says, THE
evil never would have reached such dimen.
sions unless large section Of the lsw-abid.
ing public had sympathzed with it, Hence
it may do no harm to teach them that they
may easily unchain forces which afterward.
they may be glrd to STE controlled even by
federal troops"

The entire German press regards the
railroad war in the United States as disas-
trous to that country's future, and the
the actions of the city, state and federal
authorities as showing bewildcring lack
of unity. The National Zeitung compares
the anarchy in the United States to com.
munists' doings in Paris. The Vosssche
Zeitung says: Even if the revolution be
subdued fearful series of social battles
win be fought upon American soil"
The London Daily News says "The pro-
posed general strike is a madman's dream.
1t is almost 1nthinkable. The effect would
be felt 10y the tormentors as we'll as the VIC
Tins. The cooperation of the governors
of Illinois and Indiana shows the rioters
that the game is up. Governor Altgeld and
the mayor who so grotesquely betrayed
their charge have had to choose between
duty and inclination, and the rioters must
feel that fortune has betrayed them"
The London Globe says: 1.-THE Demo-
cratic government as it exists in the United
States, is on trial. 1t is a question whether
it will bear the strain. 1t has already been
proved wanting. In our eyes, the strikers
are neither more ner less than armed reb-
els, who have plenty of sympathizers
among the soldiery from the Atlantic to the
Pacific" The st. James Gazette thinks
the present situation indicates the actual
breaking down of civilized government in
some districts and its possible collapse in
others.
The London Standards Rome correspon.
dent says: THE Pope has taken weeks
repose from audiences owing to the heat.
He will resume them this week in limited
number. He walks daily in the Vatican
gardens. The Tribuna says that he is in-
disposed, although not seriously ILL.," The
Times correspondent in Rome says; "The
Pope unquestionably is in very feeble
state of health. lie is anxious about him
self and assures his attendants that they
will find him dead some morning" The
correspondent adds that he is subject to
fainting fits and suffers much from the re-
opening Of the ulcer in his leg.
