an American Armagedon.

New York, July 1.-THE steel

attention in England generally, anG
while long articles are being prlntei
in the newspapers on the subject no
comment is made in the editorial col
umns, according TO the london corrS-

John Burns has been less retlcen''
for he forecasts an American Ar
magedon with the revival OF the Old
anti-slavery feeling, and the trans
formation of trusts into state organl-
cations by the political power OF
hordes OF workingmen.
Financiers watch the quotations
from Wall street, and are unmoyed
by sociallstic trades. Combinations
are felt to be on trial in America, and
if they survive the great conflict with
organized labor concentration OF capl'
tai will be promoted in England.
