Troops Are Called.

Vienna. Aug. "A remarkable situation
has arisen at NeUsandee Galicia, on &C
count Of a strike Of the municipal police
force for higher wages.
The prefect ordered the strikers yester-
day to leave the police barracks, but they
refused 10 go. 4 number Of gendarmes
were summoned to eject them. and d
battle with swords followed.
Several persons were injured on both
sides, and the police finally repulsed the
gendarmes and baTricaded themselves in
the barracks
4 company OF soldiers was then sent
for. and proceeded to invest the barracks
with the intention Of starving the police
out. The besieged policemen accepted
the situation philOsOphically, and
amused themselves this afternoon by
shouting police secrets from an upper
window to crowds Of townsmen assem-
bled in the streets.
Thus one policeman announced that he
had voted foTty-five times in different
names and DISCUSSES at the recent Cali
clan elections, and that in doing so he
acted under orders from the authorities.
1t is now announced that the Polish
Radicals win bring up these revelations

London, Aug. 3-The remark Of Wynn
Westcott at an inquest at BethnaI Green.
that the best way 70 prolong life is to
retire TO "a wOrkhouse, is indorsed by
poor law administrators.
We have scores Of inmates over eighty
years Old, and quite a number just about
ninety or a little over" an official Of one
of the largest London warehouses said
yesterday.
We have had centenarians, although
we have not one at present, but ! have
no doubt that two or three out OF our
scores Of Octogenarians will easily live
into the one hundred years. Most of the
workhouse centenarians are women. and
It is undoubtedly a fact that the proper
ton Of centenarians in warehouses IS
larger than that outside.
THE conditions are ideal There is reg
ular and good food, regular hours, genial
company. medical and nursing attend
snce, warmth. fresh air, and cOntentment.
The way that old people pick on COM
ing into the workhouse Is quite remark
able
old soldiers OF fifty or sixty come in
almost al Ine point OF collapse. Ihey are
often broken down owing to want Of food
and excess Of alcoholic liquor But after a
few months Of wOTkhoUse life they gen
orally recover. and some of them live on
for twenty years or more.
Tine latest returns for the metropolis
show that there were last year nearly
So coo men and women over seventy years
Of age in the London wOrkhouses. Of
seventy years Of age, 12.211 Were between
seventy and seventy-five years Of age.
8.209 were between seventy-ive and eighty
years Of age, and 6I65 We're over eighty
years OF age.
The returns omit the most picturesque
figUres-thOse Of inmates between ninety
and one hundred or over one hundred,
but I believe that there are several cen
