As we go to press our Four Big Sales are well under way. Just how long the extraordinary prices in Mus lin Underwear, Printed China Silks, Lin- ems and Cottons, and Women and Child ren's Coats will last, it is too early in the day to say. The selling commenced briskly and at snappy rate at once and has continued steadily, steadily, and without cessation since.

The Bishop of Zips, in Hungary, has put himself boldly on record against the absurd charges of ritual murder on the mart of the Jews. An accusation of this kind was invented little while ago at Nameszto, and was supported by the local ultramontane newspaper. The Rishop. in whose diocese the alleged crime had been committed, issued a pas toral letter to his clergy reminding them that it is their duty to impress upon their flocks that the charge of

Sir William White has stated before the British Association of Science his belief that the maximum of speed in steam navigation has by no means been reached yet, and that both increase in length and weight favors the better maintenance of speed at sea, and, this being the case, the tendency will be to even greater regularity of service than at present and thus quicker passages will, to some extent, diminish risks. As Indicating the progress made in this line he instances the fact that in 1S4o the Hide-wheel Ship Britannia, 207 feet long. 750-horse power, maintained a sea speed bf about eight and one-half knots on a coal consumption of forty tons a day; speed has been increased from eight and pne-half to twenty-two and one-half knots and the time of the voyage re- duced to about 3S per cent of what it was in 1S4O: steamers have more than trebled in length, about doubled in breadth, and increased tenfold in dis placement; the engine power has been made forty times as great, and the ra- tio of horse power to the weight carried has increased fourfold.

CoPPER-P1ATE ENGRAvERs EARNING $50
TO 800 WEEK CALLED OUT.
One Of the most novel strikes that have taken
nIecA in the history of organized labor is that
of about sixty copper-plate engravers who We're
employed by Tiffany & Co.. the jewellers Of
Union Square. this city. The strike started
about the first Of the present month at the fac
tory of the firm at Forest Hill. n. J., where most
of the men were employed 1t was caused. the
men saw. because the firm refused to recognize
their union The strikers also demanded some
changes in the system Of taking apprentices
This was a minor matter. and does not play
much Of part in the strike. There was no dis
mite over wages. the men apparently being fully
satisfied on that point.
A peculiar and amusing feature Of the strike
developed yesterday when a number Of fash
ionabIy dressed young men gathered about the
various entrances Of Tiffany & Co.'S establish
rnent 1t is said that the walking delegate OF
+bA Engravers' Union had heard that since the
strike the firm had been sending its copper en-
craving to other firms to be done As the mem
hers of the union wanted TO find out where the
work was going they appointed a number OF
pickets to DO guard duty at the doors. These
pickets wore silk hats, patent leather shoes and
beautifully creased trousers. and were evidently
as much at home on BroaQWay as IHSS were at
Forest Hill. A number Of carpenters were re-
pairing house in the neighborhood Of Tiffany
& cos store yesterday. and when they were told
that the handsomely clad young men were
strikers pickets. they laughed long and loud

A representative of Tiffany & Co said that
the strikers were probably the best paid work
fngnen in the world. Some Of them, he con-,
tinrad earned $50 and 500 week while none
OF rbarn received less than $50. He added that
the apprentice question was a small matter al
bast and il probably could be settled but the
firm would not recognize the union Whlch the
men had joined. because 1t would not permit
the organization 10 interfere with its business.
The strikers were largely employed at engraV-
ing wedding invitations and similar work, ana
rbe FIRMS representative said that il would
rather abandon this branch OF the business than
permit the union TO say how the work should
be done.
