At the station he was recognized by hundreds, who saluted, many cheering him. Gladstone simply re- turned the salutation, but mado no speech. Perhaps he thinks Harcourt is doing enough talking for the liboral pacty. Sir William isnow engaged in the cheerful and cougenial task of telling how often somo of his opponents, notably Chambarlain, changed sides since tneir ent e 11t par- liament. He gives some hard raps, but Chamberlain returns them with intorest. The Freeman’s Journal thinks Harcourt will s00n part company with Glaastone and Mor- ley, as he is in favor of aiding the govern- ment close sossion, while Gladstono and Morley are anxious as ever to block the way whenever the chance ofters, after the manner of the minority party in America.

The commission contains good material ana something may come from its deliberation, but it is haraly probable, as labor is far more exacting hero than in America and its interests are so diversified that it is almost impossible to de- vise any measure satisfactory to 1t. The result of the sweating commission’s labors, (Lord Dufferin, chairman,) has come to nothing und the chances are the labor commission will be not more successful In its labors, It simply stops the clamor for the time being. Labor 1s becoming a dominaut factor in many parts of the British domain. At a recent election in New South Wales labor elected tweonty-three caudidates, the mini terialists forty-five, the opposition thirty-six aud the independents three. There are thir- ty-four elections undecided and the results way give the government a swall majorit but labor is the coming power in British pol- itics.

Every endeavor is being made to rescue from the waters such goods as possible, and a large buildng has been retained in which goods found can be stored. The fortunate ones of the city are doing all in their power to uleviate the suffering of those who were deluged. Communication with the city by rail is entirely destroyed and it is oply by fording swollen streams and wallowing through mud that anyone from outsidle can reach tho city. Nearly the whole traci®from here to LeMars is washed out. The railroad bridge, one of the heaviest on the Illinois Centrul, was entirely washed away and oue of the heavy stoue piers was carried from sight by the force of the water. Intense indignation prevails against the dagos who have been sent he by the railroad company to repair the track. Farmers along the river have been taking goods out of the water and pil- mg them up for claimants, and the dagos have been detected stealing them.

Cots fill the spacious halls and every effort is being made to make them comfortable, The worst of the storm felt by the Iliinois Central struck between Storm Lake and Sioux City and between Calumet and Onawa on the Sioux Fulls & Onawa division.

By Mou- day noon they hope to have the line repaived between Cherokee and Correctionville so business can be resumed botwoen thoso points, but between Cherokee and Onawa work will be delayed savoral days later. The crops on the Illinois Central are not seriously damaged, except it the ravines and low botiom lands. The adjutant general has shipped sixty tents for the use of the homeless peopls which will arrive hero over the Illinois Cen- tral from Tara tonight.

Noxt the wait- ers struck for the honor of wearing their moustaches and carried their cause. Now, more serious to the general public, comes the bakers' strike. Our legs could wait for omnibu: but we cannot control our stomachs when threatened with lack of bread. Sympathy was with the bvsmen, but is not with the bakers. Mcreover, the strike is illozical because the bakers' grievance is against the registry ofMcos, which rob thein, There is no question of wagos, thereforo the bakers should make war against tho regis- trars, not against the masters and public by stopping the supply of bread. “The French are the largest bread eating peoplo in the world, Paris consumes 18,000, 000 pounds of bread daily. We have 1,500 bakories employing 4,000 workmen, 930 bakeries only emploving one workman could supply the demand by extra fndividuat work, The government has already made prepara- tions for a supply from Versailles, military bakeries 1n and around Paris and public re- lief ovens. If the strike continues today we shall bo short of bread as the military ovens take a day to heat. Three nundred thous- and, it1s ealeulated could bo supplicd today. By Suuday next the entire supply will be necessary. Yesterday government officials sent around to il the bakerics of any size asking the number of workmen absent. According to tho returns each establishment will bo sup- plied this morning with the necessary amountof loaves. Yestorday three-quarters of the workmon absented —tnemselves The distributiou of this bread will be made by the militury commissiarat wagons with a strong escort to prevent any interforenco with them. The military council will vote & sum necessary for the distribution. The bread trouble is not the only one, Tre butchers and pastry makers met last evening at the Cirque d Hafer and resolved to join tho strike. The sirikers, curiously enough, have the sympathy of the burbors and wait- ors, more especially the latter, who suffer se verely from the exnctions of the registry of- fice koopers. Whatall those tradors wan?, is t have their own offices, where & central syndicate could supply heip to masters.

The ministors e recoved instructions to accelorate the negotintions for the formation of a central Europoau custo union, to leave the proposed commercial entente with Russia in suspense, to troat the anti-grain law agitation as non-existent unless food riots oceur, and to issuo a loan amounting to $,000,000 marks to assist in furthering the enterprise of Major Wissmann in East Africa ne proposals looking to the amelioration of the condition of the poor of East Prussia were also discussod at the council, Touching the new zollvercin, the Swiss vapers with Irench leaniugs ervoncously state that the government at Borne has its hands tied by the now tariff adopted by vote of the federal assembly. The negotiations which have thus far been concluded have disposed of this objection, each country’s tarift being subject to roarrangoment by tho coming conferenco of the countries interested in the drie- bund. ‘The zollverein, it scems likely, will expediate n customs agreement with gium and Holland, in_which Luxcmburg will share.

The Tagblatt iu its issue of tonight reports that Herr Miguel, imperial minster of finance, in the course of a conversation with a mem the pre: Y of commercial treatics prevented the governs ment from repealing the grain laws, The Berlia papers today comment upon the statement recently made by M.
