RESIDENT. Swansea, Sept. 12th, 1889.  Mr. Burns announced to the men that one of their number, whose death he attributed to want, would be interred on Thursday afternoon at the East London Cemetery, and he invited all strikers to attend the funeral.  Not only is Mr. Goschen to visit Swansea in November, but Sir William Harcourt is to visit Carnarvou on October 17, and in the following month Mr John Morley has promised to speck at Denbigh: The TrPgraph says : According to Messrs. Alphand and Berger, it has been definitely decided to close the exhibition on October 31st. Were this not done, M. Alphand is of opinion, the great undertaking would be shorn of its prestige, and visitors would be driven away from the Champs de Mars by the snow and rains of November.  The Rio ledard says :—Among the new issues which are in preparation for the public this autumn, is one for the estiblishment of a Bank of Persia, which, we understand will work under a British Royal Charter. The capital is one million pounds in shares, of £lO each, which are to be issued at a premium of £2 per share. The prospectus is expected to be issued before the end of the mouth.  So far as can be judged frum the surgical I examination of the remains found down White. chapel way, the murdered woman has fallen a prey, not to Jack the Ripper, who always kills is Wm, apparently for a certain specific object, but to a murderer who obviously committed his crime at a place other than that where the body was found, and the interior,of the trunk is said to be intact. It seems therefore that there are two murderers : one Jack the Ripper who kilts on the spot, and the other the person who cuts his victims up into fragments and distributes their remains about the metropolis. If this theory be correct, Jack the Ripper should only be credited with eight murders, while the other, as yet unnamed mutilator, has down to his gory score the murder of the women whose remains were found at Whitehall, Battersea, and Backchurch-lane.  It is singular that the working ,lasses of Europe have to look to the military empire of Germany for real, serious efforts for their amelioration. In this way the Emperor's recent declaration that loans for the protection of workmen must be extended, and that working people must be better protected against being plundered by capitalists, is the topic of general discussion in the Press as well as among workmen and their employers, and among politicians : and the Standard correspriadent informs us that the German Parliament wilt consider the question next session. Between the employers and the employed we are 'told an understanding is not likely to prove easy of attainment. The employers are very unwilling to sacrifice one jot or tittle of what they regand as their rights. Moreover, there is a great divergence of opinion beLwoen Government circles and the employers, ar, i, ovident from the fact that the recent invest.g-ition of the two parties into the muses of the Westphalian strike have led them to dianntrically opposite conclusions. The report of the employers declares that the strike was due to the teachings of the Social Democratic Party, whereas the Government report, which is not yet published, will be found to maintain that • the Social Democrats had nothing whatever to do with the strike, which was caused by evils and grievances of long standing. The Dock strike ia London has done not a little to revive the workman's question in Germany, and it is, therefore, not surprising that the changing phases of the London strike are being watched with the greatest attention. The Getman Government is contemplating measures of a nature to prevent, as far as possible, the recurrence of such events, which are not mort ruinous to trade than they are dangerous to socks order.
