oBJECr TO PBIsoy-MADE GOODS
English Trades UHions Protest against
Their Importation.

LONDON, Eng, Aug. 22.-There is e
prospect of trouble between the English
Government and that of Germany over the
extensive importation into this country of
prison made goods. The trade unions
have been harassing the Government on
this subject for year past, and consider
able correspondence has taken place be-
tween the Government Board of Trade
and the German authorities.
The latter have manifested a decided
inclination toward standing on what they
regard as their rights under the treaties
now existing between the two countries,
and it is now authoritatively stated by
Hon. THOMPSON Ritchie, president OF the
Board of Trade and member of the
Cabinet. that unless an end is put to the
grievance by friendly arrangement dur
ing the recess the Government. imme-
diately upon reassemb bling will bring in
a bill prohibiting the importation of
prison made goods from Germany. tits
believed that this would lead to re-
taliatory measures on the part of that
country.

FEARFUL cLoUDRuRsT.
Carries Terrar to the People in Den
yer and Neighboring Places.

Denver, July 25.--Cloudbursts in the
Ioothllls west or Denver last night
resulting in foods in which twenty
nne persons are known to have per-
isiled, were followed this afternoon by
another terrible storm which has sell
dom been equalled in this vicinity
Ahnut 1880 dark clouds gathered in the
northwest. and rapidly rolled toward
the city. A little before O'Clock rain
and hail began to fan furiously. Ac-
cordlng to Weather observer Braden-
burg, seventy one-hunaredths of an
inch of water fell in ten minutes, beat
ing all local records. So far as yet
known there was no loss of life in this
city. and the damage was confined
principally to to the breaking of win
dow lights and the destruction of
growing crops.
At Morrison, seventeen miles from
Denver, where twenty-five persons
were drowned in the flood last night,
the people were terror stricken when
they saw the second storm approach
ing this afternoon. Hail began to
fall shortly after o'clock. The storm
continued with increasing force until
nearly O'clock, when black cloud of
unusual density began to gather in the
vicinity Of Mount Vernon, a few miles
from Morrison. Then the cloudburst
came and in an instant a wall of
water came down fully six feet higher
than was ever seen before. Every
thing in its path was washed away.
The flood in this gulch last evening
was but light as compared to the one
today.
1t is hoped, but 1t is by no means
certain, that residents and campers
in the gulch. realizing their danger,
had all escaped to places of safety be-
fore the flood came.
