PHILADELPHIA's STRIKE.
Second Week Begins With Little
Change In the Situation.

Change In the situation.
Philadelphia, May 1.-The second week
of the strike Of trades unions shows no
particular change in the situation. About
lo,OOO are still unemployed, but the lead
ers of the movement express confidence
that a settlement will be ~aNhed by the
middle of the week. To the rninitiated,
however, the breach between the Allied
Trades Unions Council and the Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners seems to
be as wide as eyer.
The labor troubles are not affecting the
work on the hall for the national Rcpub-
lican convention, as was feared. All of
the carpenters, 81 in number, are at work
and IN additional force of laborers has
bcen employed. Tho report that steam
filters and painters would decline to 90 to
work if the brotherhood carpenters were
employed seems to have been erroneous.
AS vet there has been no need of steam
filters, and it is probable that Chairman
Joseph III. Manley Of the national sub
committee will adhere TO his deteimina-
ton to decorate the interior Of the build
ing with bunting instead of painting it.
This will obviate the necessity of employ
ing painters. But little plumbing is re-
quircd, and although none of that trade
has vet hc@n employed, the contractor
says he will finish the work on time.

firing at 5000 meters with terrible effect.
At 5000 meters the terrific quick firing

The German press thus far has been
rather reticcnt regarding the political
effect of the emperor of Austria's visit,
but there are a number of exceptions
The pan-German jingo press commented
upon the visit unfavorably, arguing that
Austria's national disruption and internal
disunion render her an untrust worthy
ally. These papers blame the kaiser fol
