LONDON, Aug. S.-The Government Ia
becoming somewhat concerned at tho
spread OF the socialistic propaganda In
the ranks OF the artisans and laborers
employed at tho royal dock yards and
improved conditions In the service.
Tho Government habitually pays lees
than the market rate Of wages. with the
result that there ID always discontent and
not infrequent disloyaltv. Quite recently
valuable and confidential information
leaked out OF the torpedo department at
woolwich. With the result that the French
War Department Is now engaged In the
manufacture Of a Siderable torpedo to
the inventor Of which the British Govern
ment paid a large sum.
Instead Of meeting the demands Of the
men the Government has practically thrown
down the gauntlet to organized labor and
1t looks as though there would shortly
be serious trouble. The Government could
easily placate the majority Of the NAL
contents, who are day laborers. and whose
chief demands are for 90 a week Of forty
eight hours
It cannot be denied that there is some-
thing incongruors In the spectacle Of ardent
Socialists making shot and shell for the
killing Of mankind and cheering for Mr..
Kruger and the gallant Beers, as the arsenal
workmen did at a meeting at woolwich

Previous TO the arrival OF the young King,
Victor Emmanuel, and Queen Helena
every known Anarchist In Rome and

not wide enough. however, TO catch all

for two desperate Anarchists we're arrested
on Monday within few yards Of the royal

A Afanatical priest was arrested at the very

PARIS. Aug. s.-A despatch from Am
sterdam says Mr.. Kr1ger's councillors
fully approve Of the determination Of
Kritzinger, the Boer commander In Cape
Colony. to shoot all Kafirs found serving
In the British Army. whether armed or
unarmed. They say that at the beginning
Of the war a party Of Basutos and Swazis
offered to help the Boes, but Mr.. Kruger
and Mr.. Stsyn refused their assistance
on tho sole ground that In the interests
OF tho whites 1t was necessary TO keep
the blacks outside the struggle. although
the British had already accepted black
help.
Tho British policy Of enlisting Kafflrs.
Mr.. Krleer's councillors say, Is teaching
the natives to know their power and In
endangering every lonely farm. 1t may
ultimately result in general uprising
Of the blacks against the whites. The blacks
understand nothing Of the usages Of civil
lized warfare and are uaed chiefly az spies.
The Bosr councillors say, therefore, that
the only way to stop what they cali the
unfair and iniquitous British practice Ia to
shoot the blacks. II the British retaliate
by shooting Boer prisoners then the burgh
ers will treat English prisoners in the

The worst OF his troubles began then.
The thirty or forty Italians at work there
struck at him with their picks and shovels.
Naturally the dog snapped at them. The
Italians thought he was mad then for sure,

LONDON. Aug. 3.-Enormous al was tho
influx Of American visitors to England In
1900. 1t In even greater this year. Steam
ship agents, hotel keepers, travelling agents
and custodians Of places Of public interest
agree that the year 1901 has broken the

Stratford-on-Avon. the Peak Lake dis

With these friendly invaders. a. the hotels.
omnibuses, theatres. trains. streets and
shops all bear witness.
Parallel TO the constant increase Of the
floating American population Of London
Is the increase OF the permanent colony.
The last two years have seen a 90 per cent.
increase In the resident American popu-
lation Of London. says the Secretary Of
the American Society Of London. and the
number Is always increasing.
As regards tho temporary visitors they
are establishing a new reputation which
b . striking change. Time was whom
the mighty army Of tip-reoeiver well
coined an American tourist With delight.
Now the cabmen, the porters, the walters In
restaurants, the servants In hotels and
people OF that kind unite In declaring that
the American is the least remunerative Of
their clients
This change, which IA undoubtedly true.
may be attributed to a species Of reaction.
At first Americans paid the oabmen a.
they do In New York and they were SINH
larly lavish with other public servants. who.
not content with this, became more OK
tortionate with the result Of killing the
goose that laid the golden egg Americans
found that the natives did not submit and,
were not subjected to such outrages, and
lacking the peculiar knowledge that the
natives Of every country possess on such
points, the Americans frequently have
taken refuge in paying strict legal faro to
oabmen and hard and fast percentage Of
the bill to walters In restaurants, which
may occasionally be adequate according to
the British ideas, but often Is not 30.
