Instead of improving the labor sit nation in England is getting worse daily. The engineers' strike is not yet settled, and now conies the announcement of another great war, involving 200,000 cotton operatives.

ANSWER FROM SPAIN. Wordford's Note Does Not Call Forth a Defiant Reply. President McKinley has had laid before him at Washington the text of Spain’s answer to Minister Woodford. In company with Secretary Sherman and Assistant Secretary Adee he went over the document with great care. As a result it can be stated from official quarters at the White House that the construction placed upon the answer hy the administration is that it is not defiant in tone, is not menacing and is not warlike. Under such circumstances those officials who are chiefly concerned in the negotiations do not feel that any crisis is near at hand, nor do they fear that the answer presents an issue beyond the power of diplomatic solution. On the contrary, the entire disposition in administration quarters is to treat the answer as satisfactory in tone, and as a marked advance in the assurances Spain has heretofore given. Notwithstanding this official view, there are those who believe that the message is much stronger in tone than the officials will admit, and that it presents issues which will call from the President a ringing message when he lays the case and ail the correspondence before Congress a few weeks lienee. From no authoritative source, however, can this belligerent view be con fil med. OFFICERS OF SCOTTISH RITE. Result of Election in Supreme Council at Providence, If. I.

thief has confessed. Fellow Who Stole $15,000 from the Mulls Is Captured. IV alter It. Houghton, aged 25, has been arrested at Cheyenne, Wyo., and confessed to stealing a registered package containing $15,000 which had been sent Sept. 21) hy the National Bank of the Republic, Chicago, to the State National Bank at Butte, Mont. The package was sent in :ui extra through-registered pouch, and was delivered to Houghton, a postal clerk on the Cheyenne and Ogden run, by-Clerk Brill of the Omaha and Cheyenne district, who inadvertently failed to take Houghton’s receipt for one of the pouches. Postoffice Inspector Frederick of Denver learned that a woman had changed three new SIOO bills and secured from her an admission that Houghton had given them to her on the night of his return from his run of Sept. 30. The robbery is the largest which has ever occurred in the registry service. ON HYGIENIC GROUNDS. Belgium Restricts the Importation of American Cattle. Consul Lincoln, at Antwerp, Belgium, id 11 report to the State Department at Washington, says that one of the matters now interesting importers is the restriction thrown in the way of the import of cattle from both North ami South America on hygienic grounds. The Antwerp chamber of commerce is doing till in its power to remove the restrictions. There lias been a large increase in the importation of wheat from the United States, also of rje, barley, corn and oats. The United States furnishes a considerable amount of cast steel, petroleum and tobacco. TRUE BILLS RETURNED. Sheriff Martin Must Answer for the Shooting nt Lattiiner. At A\ iikesbarre, Pa., the grand jury returned a true bill against Sheriff Martin and his deputy for the Lattiiner shooting. The true bills included nineteen for murder, one for each man killed and one for the victims considered collectively. Thirtysix true bills were found in the same way for felonious wounding against the same defendants. The likelihood is that Sheriff Martin and his deputies will elect to be tried together.

Austria and Hungary, The present deadlock in the reichsrath ut 5 ienna, owing to the German obstruction, has created a critical situation, and in some quarters a suspension of the Austrian constitution is believed possible. At a late session of the lower house, after an uproarious dispute between Dr. Kramarez, the acting president, and the German opposition, the chamber adopted. by a large majority the acting president's proposal to discuss the motions for the impeachment of the ministry at the morning sittings and to devote the evenings to the bill for the extension of the compromise with Hungary, the delay in adopting which is causing much resentment in Hungary and rendering the passage of the treaty by the Hungarian parliament extremely doubtful. In the lower house of the Hungarian parliament at Budapest. Baron Banffy, the premier, replying to Herr Francis Kossuth, son of the celebrated Hungarian patriot, who urged the Government to “take advantage of Austrian chaos and try for Hungary’s independence,” declared that the ministry had no intention of turning Austria’s difficulties unreasonably to the advantage of the Hungarians. "The ainion of the two countries,” he declared, “must be regarded as indissoluble. Should the Austrian constitutional system break down —which God forbid —the Hungarian Government would be obliged to act independently regarding the joint questions of the customs and commercial treaty between Austria and Hungary, and of the charter and privileges of the Austro-Hungarian banks.” This announcement caused a great sensation, and it is believed that Baron Banffy spoke with the consent of the em-peror-king, and that his statement points to the possibility of absolutist government in Austria.

New Cure la Indorsed.

Fire broke out in the main slope of the Yon Storeh mine at Scranton, Pa. An extra force of men was at work timbering the mine. Department of Commerce. The National Business League has addressed a communication to President MoKiu'ey favoring the establishing by

I Congress of a new department of the Government entitled the Department of Commerce and Industry. It suggests that ihis department include, among other things, matters relative to the gathering of information with a view to the systematic extension of commerce with the South and Central American States and other foreign countries, nnd the collecting and tabulating of statistics as to the industries of this country, with reports | and recommendations concerning them, as | a basis of intelligent action in the interest of such industries and the employes there- [ in. It requests that the statistical and i certain other bureaus and matters now in other departments be transferred to the proposed department and that it also include a tariff bureau or commission which shall investigate nnd rei>ort on future contemplated changes in tariff schedules. President McKinley is respectfully requested in the communication to recommend to Congress that there be such legislation as will accomplish the object sought, and is told that so far sis the National Business League can learn the business men of the country arc practically a unit in the demand for the new department. BUSINESS IS RETARDED. Bradstrcet Reports a Slowness in General Trade. Bradstreet's latest commercial report says: "General trade retains most of the features of a week ago, with a continued check to the movement of staple merchandise. At larger Eastern and central Western cities sales of seasonable goods have not equaled expectations, and at none of these points has the volume of business increased. At Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, New York and Providence there has been a decrease in the volume of business in some lines. The Northwest continues to make relatively more favorable reports as to trade, although at Milwaukee and Minneapolis mild weather has checked distribution. Wheat is again above a dollar, on continued heavy exports. Our wheat exjiort movement, aggregating more than 70,000,000 bushels within thirteen weeks, is unprecedented, and points to a keener appreciation.of the statistical strength of wheat by European importers than by many American traders. Exports of wheat, flour included ns wheat, from both coasts of the United States and from Montreal this week amount to 5,991,391 bushels, against 5,552,000 bushels last week. Exports of Indian corn amount to 1.589,193 bushels this week, compared with 1,177,000 bushels last W'eek.”

Fast in the Ice. The news reaching San Francisco from the whaling fleet is discouraging. Nearly all the vessels have been caught in the ice and some of them may not last through the winter. Not since the winter of 1884, when the fleet was caught in- the ice off Herald Island, has such wholesale disaster threatened. Fourteen steamers, barks and schooners with 1,000 hands arc known to he in the pack, nnd only , five of them are supposed to have more than two months supplies ithuiirrl. A dispatch received by the met chants' exchange says: "The whaling steamers Orcn and Belvedere, the whaling steamer Itosario and the steam tender Jennie are frozen in to the west of Point Barrow and may be crushed in tlie ice. There are no provisions on the whalers, but as they are near land, the crews may be aide to reach an Eskimo village.” Too Much Cold Water. Someone broke into the Simmer High School (for negroes) in St. Louis through one of the windows, went downstairs and turned on the full water pressure into the boiler. The water shot up through the steam pipes into the radiators and escaped through the valves. It soaked through the flooring and flooded tile whole building. School was dismissed until it can he dried out. About SSOO worth of damage was done to the plastering. There is no clew to the perpetrators, hut it is supposed to have been done by someone in the neighborhood, as a protest was made when tlie school was built. Cremates Her Rival. At Birmingham, Ala., Ella Barnes and Tessie Thomas became involved iu a quarrel, the hone of contention being their mutual regard for the same youth.
