A despatch from London says :--The striking engineers in their second bal- llot upon the proposals of theemploy- er$. are again rejecting the proposiâ€" tions made by the masters in the con- ference.

Business has been reasonably goodl l throughout the United States during upon which they are still unyielding in their opposition. ‘he masters declare l the past week. According to the com- that they never offered such a oom- lmercial reports of Messrs. Dun and Messrs. Bradstreet, the holiday trade has been everywhere unusually heavy; and the wholesale trades-which usu- ally are slack just before Christmas- have been kept well employed to meet the requirements of a. very large de- mand. For the time of year the call for various lines of products has been unprecedente'lly large. Altogether the actual condition of. trade, and its im- mediate outlook, is considered by many 0f the leading men of business to be lmost satisfactory. The! lusiness 1 failures in the United States for ‘the month have been less than half of the number which occurred in the corresponding week of last‘ year. GENERAL. Banks in Bombay. and Bengal, India. have increased the rate of discount from 6 to 7 per cent. There has been a renewal of conflicts Plvmise. and they are now formulat- ing plans for a wide extension of their proposed lockpout. A London despatch to the New York Tribune says:â€"-“Lord Londonderry at Newcastle has taken a. pessimistic view of the condition of trade. supporting it by statistics showing the decline of exâ€" ports and the increased competition from. the United States, . Ger- many. and Belgium, especially in machinery, and -deploring the losses caused by the engineering strike. This view is generally shared by merchants and manufacturers, for the shipping trade is almost the only one which has had a prosperous year. and this exception was due to the im- mense shipments of wheat from Am- erica. Yet. though {times are grow- ing worse, the conflict between the en- gineers and the employers threatens to become even more deadly.

A despatch from Allahabad says:- The Pioneer publishes a scathing criti- cism of the recent fighting on the In- dian frontier, and says the operations have ruined more than one reputation. The Pioneer asserts that the officers have disappointed expectations, and calls upon the Commander-in-Chief to weed out those who have signally fail- ed. to prove their fitness to command or perform staff duties. The paper as- serts. ‘that the instances when the troops were well handled were few. while serious blunders were numerous and happy-go-lucky arrangements were the rule, resulting- in a few hundred British troops and Sepoys, forming the near guard, having again and again to fight most desperately to save their skins whole, while within two or three miles thousands of their comrades were doing absolutely nothing. In conclusion, the Pioneer remarks: "The wholle campaign shows careless- ness and in lifference for the safety of the rear guard and bad disposal of the fighting strength. \Vhile the fortified enclosures and liomesl'ea'ls of the Afridis have been destroyed, the lat- ier have had their revenge in t e ac- tual coinflicts.

A despatch from Skaguay. Alaska. says-John Lindsay. of Olympia. Washington, who, has just arrived from Dawson City. says there will surely be starvation there this winter. He examined into the food situation thoroughly. he says. and after satisâ€" fy'ing himself there would be Starva- tion, he sold his outfit, and, in com- pany with Frank Ballaine. of Olympia; Tom Storey, of Victoria, B. C., and Bob Glynn, of &attle, started out on ' foot, cash man drawing a. sled carry- ing about 140 pounds of provisions. Lindsay says the Dawson people be- lieve there is no great amount of food at Fort Yukon as has been al- leged. Ifhe river rose sufficiently and remained open long enough to enable the food to have been brought from Fort Yukon had there been any there. The people of Dawson. believing there was not an 311141184 food supply at l Fort Yukon. refused. to go there. pre- ferring to remain at Dawson. Not more than 300 olr 400 people took advantage of the transport company-‘s offer. to take the people to Fort Yukon for nothing. \Vhen the minors at Dawson found no more provisions would reach the town by the river route they an- nounced that a meeting would be held to take steps for apportioning the pro- visions in‘ town. Those who had plen- ty must share with those who had none, Capt. Constantin, of the North-‘West Mounted Police, interfered, and told the miners that no such thing would be permitted. The meeting was not held. ' Lindsay says the output of the min- ers Will be. greatly curtailed this win- ter, because of‘ a scarcity of fuel and light. Coal oil sold for forty-five dol- lars a. gallon, and candles are as high as one hundred ‘and fifty dollars a box of one hundred. Even if men were able to workl their claims they cannot get light tot do so. These statements are lrorne out by all ,returning Klondikers, quite a number of whom have reached here during the past week. Few of them had ever taken as gloomy a view of the situation as does Mr. Lindsay. LOOKING AHEAD. _-_ A Large Influx of Immigrants Expcctcd Next Year. A despatch from Ottawa, says:â€"-Mr. Smart, Deputy Minister‘ of the Depart- ment of the Interior, expects a .good immigration season to open early in 1898. In an interview he said: "Our campaign will go on all winter through, and when spring comes we look to see an influx such as has nev- er been seen in late years. The gold fields of the Yukon will bring thou- sands of foreigners to our Canadian shores, but this is not the class specially referred to. Itis more the incoming of farmers for the western country, men who will ‘settle down there, many of them with their families, to build up homesteads for their children after them. It may be said that many of these have already seen with their own eyes the chances which our wes- tern country affords, while others have taken the reports of delegates specially sent to spy out the land. The Yorktown and Swan River districts are likely 'to receive a very large pro- portion of the new population. Rail- way companies are already preparing for a heavy traffic as soon as winter is over." -_ SHOT DE D BY POLICE. _-q Supremacy of llio Law .lsserlcil by Re volvcrs. A despatch from. Dubois, Pa, says:- Chief of Police Blair, and a dozen de- puties made anl effort on Thursday morning to capture Stephen Spellan, who brutally murdered Michael Rahar the previous night, and then barricaded himself in the house, and opened fire on the officers as soon as he saw them approaching, shooting Chief Blair. Lat- er he wounded officers Casey, Butter- borough and Almott. The remaining officers pressed forward and forced the door. As they entered Spcllan fled, the officers following‘ and firing their revolvers as they ran. Spellan, in dcs~ peration, halted and returned the fire. The officers fired another volley, and the murderer fell wounded with four bullets in his body. The wounded offi- cers will recover. slim SIXPENCE.

A dcspaich from Pekin says:--'l.‘ho Chinese Government has granted lins- sia permission to winter a squadron at Port Arthur. Great. Britain demand: a quid pro quo, if concessions have been made to other powers. 1t has been sug~ gested that tho Japanese iiiid British occupy \\‘ei Hai \\'ci jointly. The sit- uation at liiao Chou Bay is uni-hanged‘. Germany remains unyielding and the Chinese counsels arc. divided a: to whe~ thcr it should be pciicc or war with Germany. China regards Russia as her only friend, and is asking hcr ad- vice alone. In spite of official denials, it is regarded as proved that Port Ar- thur and Kiao Chou Bay were promised to Russia by a secret treaty. British influence is nil, having suffered great- ly through the failure of the loan ne- gotiations. China is now negotiating alone with Russia. The latter demands the dismissal of the British railroad engineers in North China, and it is probable that the demand will be granted. The German drill instruct- ors will be dismissed iit the expiration of their contracts and will be replaced by Russians. =Russian officers have already been appointed to drill the, armies of North China. ~A despatch from ‘St. Petersburg says: --In a strongly anti-llritisli articlcon Thursday, the Novosti says-“In con- sequence of the pretension of England to co'mpensate herself‘ for the Russian occupation of Porti Arthur by the ac- quisition of Port’ Hamilton or Lazar- eff, and in view of the possibility of the disturbing action of Japan, .ldurOpe stands on the brink of grave diplomatic complications. It is, therefore, well to recall that the reinforcement of tho German squadron‘ IlL the Pacific per- mits Russia, France and Germany ef~ fectively to prevent] a disturbance of. the balance of power between the three powers on one, hand, and Great Brit- ain and Japan on the other, such as might‘ be produced. by violent. seizures of territory." In. conclusion, The No- vosti expresses the hope that the iso- lation of Great Britain in regard to the other Europeani powers will “para- ' lyze her action sufficiently to permit the preservation of peace from the dan- gers threatening it‘ at the present mo- ment." The greatest reticence. is maintained here in Government circles. The cen- sorship has forblddem the press to at- tack Germairy on‘ account of the oc- cupation of Kiao-Chau. Emperor Nicholas presided on Thursday at a special meeting of ‘the Council at Alex- ander Palace, including the lrand Dukes and the chief military and naval ' authorities. The Chinese situation was discussed, and it is rumored that Grand Duke. Alexander h'lichaelovitch advised the immediate strengthening of the Russianl squadron in China. -,__,__.____ RUSSIAN NIHILISTS. Two lecli in.
