A SOCIETY CRUSH IN LONDON.
Joseph Chamberlain OyeFdoes the
Matter of Making an Over
whelming Social show.

London, July 3.--Tke secretary of state
for the colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain,
provided royalty with a new sensation on
Wednesday. Wishing to have an over
whelming social show, Mr.. Chamberlain
took the late Sir Julian Goldschmidt's big
house in Piccadilly and invited 1900 guests
to a banquet and reception following it.
all OF whom apparently accepted. resulting
i'm the greatest crush London remembers
The sudden bringing of 800 or 800 carriages
into PiCcadilly quite upset the police and
made an inteTmindble jam, in the midst of
which the Prince and Princess of Wales
drove up St. James street. The prince,
finding that the police were unable to i'm
nediaIely clear his royal way. ordered his
coaChman to drive back to Marlborough
house and. for the first time in the life OF
their highnesseS, their progress to honor
cCmmOner was barred. Inside the house
the crush was terrible. Mr.. and Mrs. Cham
bcrlain vainly tried to edge their way TO
the front of the stairs. in order TO receive
The Prince and Princess of Wales. Hun
dreds were unable to get in at ali. and the
luke and Duchess of York were Obliged to
make their exit by way of the kitchen and
the area steps.
The fiasco is the talk OF the town. and
many bitter remarks are circulated in So
ciety. The old Tories are delighted at what
they call Mr.. Chamberlains bad breeding
and want of taste, etc, and predictions are
made that the Prince and Princess of Wales
will never again accept their invitations.

ORs TO TERMS VERY SOON.
Miners i'm the Pittsburg District De
eide Unanimously to Comply
With the Strike Order-Men
in Some Districts VIII
Not Go Out.

Pittsburg Pa. July 3.-Industrial circles
were much excited to-day over the ievel-
opments in the situation among several i'm
pOrtant trades. On the verge Of the declar-
alton CT coal miners Of the Pittsburs dis
trict TO take the lead in the general sus-
pension Of the coal mining industry came
the concession of the Tin Plate Manufact-
urers' Association to the Amalcamat=d As
SOciatiOn OF Iron and Steel Workers. The
miners officials herr say that idleness will
prevail in the majority of all the rail and
river mines in the Pittsburg district. They
claim that tie struggle for higher wages
will be Of short duration. and that. by lea
son of the great demand for coal for the
lake trade at this season of the year. they
will be granted an advance before the Cp-
operators lose large contracts for the tut
ure delivery of coal.
The miners officials claim that a cen
servative estimate fixes the number of men
who will go on a strike in Pennsylvania.
West Virginia, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois
at 2JoOOo. They hope to increase this num-
Der as the strike sentiment grows.
The tin plate workers are jubilant ever

ers. 1t is estimated that 5000 skilled work
men will resume Tuesday morning. Nearly
all the tin plate manufacturers in the Pitts

months. In a few plants the entire output
Tor the next year has been already sold
The workers wanted an advance of Is
per cent, which the manufacturers were
not inclined to give. A re-adjustment was
made, which would give the workers an
average advance of about 50. per cent
After considerable discussion, the workers
agreed to the proposition. provided the
manufacturers signing the scale would
agree to give them a protective clause
guaranteeing that the tin plate mills would
not manufacture Sheet iron in the event
Of the market for tin becoming depressed.
Ihe proposition was agreed TO and both
sides adjourned, apparently well satisfied.
The coal miners of the Pittsburg district
in delegate convention here to-day decided
the national executive board TO strike. and
all Of the union miners in the district will
lay down their tools tomorrow morning
and enter upon A struggle for better wages.
Which promises to be one of the longest
and most bitterly contested fights ever
known in the labor world. The delegates

The miners officials have completed ar
rangements for a series of mass meetings
TO be held throughout the entire district,
and IL is believed that the effect of these
meetings will be to bring out every digger
in the district, those who are under IRON
clad agreements. as well as others.

places in the mines and went out on strike
to-day. 1t will not be known until Monday
morning whether the company men and
CaRers will go out or not. On account Of
this suspension. the company has not been
able to stock up its consumers to any great
extent, which is decidedly in favor of the
miners. The miners OF this city are not in
good circumstances and many OF them will
suffer If the suspension is protracted.

One of the most curious features OF the
present situation is that Prince HOhenlohe
and the emperor have not agreed on the
subject. Prince Hohenlohe refused point
blank TO consider the appointment OF Gen

Prince Hohenlohe and Baron Won Bulow,s
visit simultaneously TO Prince Bismarck

press is writing on the subject in a tone OF
satisfaction on recent events, claiming that
the repressive measures against socialism
will be renewed. 1t is certain. however
that the whole situation has not been clear
