LABOR TROUBLES IN ENGLAND.
Engineers Refuse 40 Accept Employ
ers' Terms.

London, Dec. l4.-Tlhe ballot taken by
the unions OF the Amalgymated So
ciety OF Engineers is almost luminous
against accepting the proposals of the
employers. The ballot grew out of the
formal conference between the repre-
sentatiyes OF the striking engineers and
their employers, which began on NO
vember "a last, and after several ses-
sions was adjourned on December 3
until December IA, in order TO allow the
delegates of the engineers 20 submit to
the various unions the terms Of the
masters.
The employers, through their repre-
sentatives at the conference, have de-
clined TO recede from their position re-
speeding freedom in the management
OF their business, without the inter-
ference OF the unions, and emphatical-
~ pronounce against a reduction in
the hours Of labor, on the ground that
such diminution would mean a small
err output and inability TO meet foreign
competitors. The strike began on
July 13, last, with a lockout upon the
part OF some of the engineers, fol-
lowed by the engineers calling out n
large number OF men, until about n
hundred Thousand engineers were
thrown out OF work The ostensible
reason for the strike was the question
OF payment for overtime, and incident
ally for eight hours work per day.
The engineers have insisted upon
eight hours work and that all over
time must count as one and quarter
time for the first two hours and as time
and a half after that

here Tuesday morning in the hall of the
Young Mems Christian association, so
delegates, including many from cities

law OF 80 per cent. In the commitments
10 the reform school, and Lincoln, Neb.

The reports further showed that in
1895 and 1896 over 10000 boys were ar
rested; from something over 100 towns
heard from there were 371 bands of boy
robbers; nearly one-third OF Boston's
arrests were boys; $4,000 youngsters
were incarcerated in Chicago In two
years. The reports from all OF the big
cities shows that the number of boys
who start every year on the road TO the
penitentiary is astounding.

THIRTY DAYS OF MOURNING.
President VIII Omit All social Func-
lions for That Period.

Washington, Dec 16. President
Mckinley. the members Of the cabinet
and others who went TO Canton on ac-
count OF the illness and death of the
presidents mother, reached Washing
ton shortly before II o'clock. The spe-
cial train was stopped just outside the
station yard and the members Of the
party were driven TO their homes.
The president and Mrs. Mckinley
naturally were fatigued with the strain
TO which they had been subjected but
stood the trip well, and the president
himself was ready TO look after some
matters Of personal business after n
short rest. II is understood to be the
present intention OF the president to
omit all social aud official functions at
the white house for period Of 30 days
from the death OF his mother. Most OF
the official receptions are usually set
down for dates after the first of Jauu-
airy. so that the principal omission, l.
the present order Is carried out. viii be
the New Years day reception, which
will be less felt than any other from the
fact that all the elements that 90 TO
make up this function, even the general
public, are received by the president az

BOX of Explosives lis Found In the
Havana Consulate.

Havana, Dec. 16.-An internal ma
chine was found Wednesday morning
on the ground floor Of the house in Cuba
street occupied by the consulate of the
United States. The internal machine
was box of wood containing matches
and cotton, in the center of which was n
tin tube about a foot long, filed with
what appears TO be an explosive sub
stance. The belief is current in Havana
that the Internal machine, as well as
the threats which have called the atten-
ton Of the government to the necessity
Of guarding Gen. Lee, have cmanated
from the irreconcilable partisans Of
the policy OF Canovas and Weyler, who
are trying 70 put every obstacle In the
way OF the government at the begin
ming Of the new regime. As previously
reported, Their Is much apprehension
here that an attack will be made on the
American consulate. For some days
Gen. Lees Office has been guarded by
four Spanish soldiers OF the Havana
military police and two detectives.

New York, Dec. 13.-Charles w. Mil
Ter, OF Chicago, is the new champion Of
the bicycle track-the worlds cham
pion siN-day racer. So he was ac-
claimed Saturday night when he fin
ished the great race many miles ahead
Of the worlds record made by Teddy"
Hale, of Ireland, in 1896. After the end
Of the racing, in the presence Of the
management, the track was surveyed
and found TO be 564 feet inches In
circuit, measured Is inches from the
pole, according 10 the racing rules.
These figures, multiplied by nine, the
number OF laps said to have made a
mile, showed total of 5,0Ts feet 3
inches, Accordingly the track turns
out to have been short POI feet inches
In every mile, and II is estimated on
this basis that Miller's record of zoos
miles really represents nearly 50 miles
less. This would bring his figures down
TO about 2,0t3 miles, over 100 more than
the record made by Hale in the garden
last December.
