 THE TALK OF LONDON TOWN. The Trades Union Congress- last week in Great Britain has been marked by effervescence in the labor world. the quieting of the Indian troubles, with more or less confess sion of the governments impotence in dealing with the Ameer of Afgh- anistan, and the defeat of the Mar quis of Salisbury, in the case of the German bond holders, in the dreary struggle over the Greco-Turkish peace negotiations, which defeat has been caustically criticised, and has been followed by the sultan sending winter clothing to the Turkish troops in ThesSaly.
 The trades union congress at Bir mingham, which has been styled by Tom" Mann, the labor leader, the Congress of fatheads," adjourned af- ter a session chiefly notable for the proposal to form a gigantic trades union out of every conceivable trade, in order to control capital with the threat Of a general paralysis of all industry, and by the proposal to stand by the engineers in their present struggle. The balance of the time of the congress was mainly occupied with reaffirming time honored resolu- tions expressing, as the Morning Post says, 'pious opinions of little value in practical life" Even the Daily Chronicle remarks: We sup pose there is nothing for it to do pending political revival, but to go on passing the same good old time resolutions" The Saturday Review draws attention to the marked devel- opment of the tide of opinion in the nrades -union congress in favor of in- Vcreased help or greater restraint di- rectly from or by the state.
 The Engineers Strugg.e-T The ninth week Of the engineers struggle leaves 22,00O engineers, 12,O00 trades unionists, $500 nOn-unionists and B. 600 laborers out of work, with strike pay amounting to G33,000 a week. New firms dependent upon engineer ing are stopping work daily, and some of the locomotive manufactu1- uers have posted notices as follows: fight hours a day With the present
 wages would be disastrous to
 comotive trade or England, in

 duty to counsel the men to re- ffa1n from any encouragement or sup port of the eight hour movement
 America and England.-The so- called 'Jingoism" in the United States is finding an echo here. An anonymous correspondent has writ ten a ong letter to the Spectator, in whiel{ he attempts to prove that the United States is really friendly to Great Britain, in spite of the Ameri- can newspaper statements to the con- trary. The Spectator replies to this letter, saying: While official Amer ica treats England as at present, can any one believe in American friendIi- ness?''
 Adance in the Price of Bread.-The rise in wheat to 40 shillings has dragged up the price of bread to 61hd and I'd, and in the poorest quarters of London, where bread is sold in slices, the loaf is fetching one shill- ing. On top of this. the Millers' Ma Ional Union has started a demand
 fewer hours of labor, with a
 \Sened strike if their demand is corded.
 5ndyke Promoters at Work Since the announcement Of the ex- tensive discoveries of gold in the klondyke region, the company pro- moters of London have been busy in taking advantage of the newspaper boom given to that part of the world Fifteen Klondyke Qimited) compa- nies, which have recently been start. ed, have brought out capital to the amount of e2,046, ,5S3, of which e1.. 137,691 is offered to the public Ir the meanwhile there is an immense demand for anything Klondykian, 1T order to float further companies i1 the spring of 1898.
 Consul General Burke Successful United States Consul General Burke has received a satisfactory reply tt his demand made to the sultan of Mo rocco for satisfaction and compensa tion for the assault made by thre, MoOrs on protege of an American citizen residing at Tangier The as sault was committed in June last The assai]ants are now in jail at Tan gier. The sultan has promised to pa, an indemnity, and he has ordered thi prisoners to be sent to Fez. Prison CTS are only sent to Fez for gray, crimes. They suffer the most terrib1, agony on the way there; they ar, loaded with chains and are starved and beaten all along the read. II the interests of humanity, MT. .Burk, objected to the transfer, and demand ed that the punishment of the pris oners should be mated out to then in the local prisons. The sultan ac eeeded to this. The result is all tn, more gratifying when it is remem bered that the Moo1ish authoritie
