The Birmingham Post from Birmingham, West Midlands, England • 7

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. London, Saturday. 'here can now bo little doubt that Constant inoplo is the final goal of Midhat Pacha's Cont mental journey. It is well known that his recall is principally due to the action t'f the English Government. I soe from i omo of the semi-official papers that he is xpected to assume the position of Grand Vizier.

()thers, however, have it that the scene of his labours will be Asia Elinor. Such a consumma-1 ion would be for the benefit of Armenia and to the xlvantage of the English Government. In Bulgaria t.nd Bagdad Midhat has already given proof of high I dimnistrative powers, and of a sense of justice irhich is rather unusual in one of his race and caste i nd in all probability he would carry out vigorously whatever reforms in Asia Minor were agr3ed upon. have seen Midhat several times during his stay in London, for he was very fond of roaming about he streets, and upon every occasion of importance he made his appearance iD either House of iament. His exterior certainly is not impressive t.nd few could imagine that in this undersized) inild-eyed, and spectacled old gentleman there was ruler of dauntless soul and iron hand.

I annot help thinking tMat the expectations held in some quarters as to the advantages which his recession to office will bring to English interests ire somewhat too To judge by the tone in certain circlos it would be imagined that Midhat be almost as much in the service 01 England is an English resident. Midhat, as a Turk, it may be assumed, will have a not unpardonable preference for the interests of his own country, and is far too self-willed a man to i ccept anything like dictation from the English or iny other foreign Power. While speaking on this point, I may mention the still persistent rumour that DufTerin will be asked, on his return home, (o undertake some important mission in the East. cannot get anybody to tell me what the mission is, or is likely to be but people still keep talking i it as a thing entirely arranged. I may also here mention, merely to dismiss, the rumours as I the probability of a joint French and Italian oci upation of some of the Hellenic provinces of Turkey.

As an official Italian journal has pointed out, the Treaty of Berlin having been the production of several Powers, no single Power could undertake any task which the other Powers had not sanctioned. The rumour, though incorrect, is however, instructive it confirms the belief that iho only two friends Greece had in the Congress vera the two Latin nations. The speech of Sir Charles Dilke to his constituents is rather a curious one. It has already 1 pointed out several times that the view which 'he honourable baronet takes of the Eastern Question is quite different from that of anybody lse. He is, in fact, a party unto himself.

The only Liberal to whom he bears any resemblance i the Eastern Question is Mr. Joseph Cowen. The member for Newcastle and he united in i heir common hate of Russia. I would direct parlieular attention to that part of Sir Charles's speech in which he dealt with affairs in Central Vsia. It is well known that on this question he is i of the best informed men in the House of i 'ommuns, and occasionally the intelligence he has eceived has anticipated the slowly-reaching knowledge of the Foreign Office.

When Sir Charles )ilke therefore speaks of the state of affairs in Vfghanistan as being serious, we may take it for granted that things have reached a critical pass. 'In looking over the Indian journals which have list come to hand, one is surprised to find how has been the action of the Indian Govern: uent in respect to this question. For year 3 the Vfghan ruler and the English viceroy have both een playing at a game of sulk. As our envoys i lid not succeed in obtaining what they asked, the Indian Government shrouded itself up in a mantle frigid reserve for several years. Now, when he Russian appears at Cabul, the dignity of our ittitude at once disappears, and we rush off to shere-Ali to beg the favour of his oountenance.

the tone of the Russian press it is generally i.ssumed that the Russian intention is to maintain Embassy there. As this is diametrically ipposed to the. wishes and intentions of the English Government, things appear to be approaching a very dangerous crisis. I don't think much importance need be attached to the rumour which was prevalent in the early jiart of the week, that a dissolution was imminent. There was certainly no idea in well-informed circles in London of such an event being close at hand.

I think, too, the terms of Lord Beaconsfield's letter to his Sheffield admirers sufficiently disprove, the story. If he had contemplated giving the country and himself the excitement and labour of a general election he would scarcely have directed his private secretary to write so pathetically of his need of rest. There can be no doubt that the results of the elections in Argyle and Newcastle-under-Lyme have seriously irritated the friends of the Ministry, but I doubt very much that these defeats will be considered sufficient to jystify an appeal to the country. If Lord Beaconsfield is to have that overwhelming majbrity which he expected some time ago, it will be necessary for him to perform some other stroke of dazzling legerdemain but I do not see the opportunity for any such feat at the present moment, and without such a feat the polling booths would probably give an answer to an appeal which could scarcely satisfy the Prime Minister. The last speech of Lord Uartington may be taken as an additional proof that no immediate dissolution is expected.

It was, r.s yon will remember, from a meeting at which ho was present that the original rumour was issued to the world, but the leader of the Opposition now disclaims any knowledge whatever upon the subject. Mr. Sclater-Booth's announcement that he will introduce next session again the Valuation and County Boards Bill merely confirmed an already foregone conclusion. It is to be hoped, however, that beforo he again brines forward these bantlings of his he will make considerable changes in them. The Valuation Bill of last session, as I have already remarked, was simply a bill for the benefit of the squires, and the County Boards Bill was even worse.

When everybody is calling for an extension of popular control over county expense, the president of the Local Board has the coolness to propose a scheme which would perpetuate the oligarchical rule of the magistrates. Another announcement by Mr. Sclater-Booth was that the Criminal Law Reform Bill would also be submitted to Parliament next session. Very grave doubts, however, are felt whether this prophecy can be fulfilled. The subject is so immense that the Commissioners will hardly be able to conclude their labours within the limits of the recess.

One cr two of the members are noted for not being marvels of industry, and then Commissions generally are things of very slow movement. Birmingham Trades menthly meeting of the Birmingham Trades Council was held in the Grand Jury Room at the Public Office, on Saturday evening; Mr. Lewis in the chair. The secretary read a letter from the Glasgow Trades Council with reference to the case of Robert Macfarlane, a member of the Cutclasj Makers' Association, who had been fined £00. damages, by the Sheriff's substitute, for having by an unlawful combination induced some of the pursuers (Messrs.

Uouper's) workmen to leave their employment, by which tSie pursuers had been subjected to a loss ot i.lOO. An appeal had been made against the decision. and they asked for the support of other trades to carry it out. The appeal was supported by the delegate of the local class makers, who asied that if the council should send representative to the Trades Congress at Bristol he should second a resolution calling upon all trades to support Macfarlane in his appeal, and supply with fundi A resolution was parsed commending the case to the support of the trades. It was resolved to vote £10.

6d. THE TRADES UNION CONGRESS. I. BY Bristol, Monday. The eleventh Annual Congress of representatives of the various trades unions of the country was commenced here at noon to-day, in the Lecture Hall of the Athenaium.

There were delegates present representing every branch I of Bailey (Preston), chairman of "the Parliamentary Committee, presided at the sitting of the I Congress, and said thrt taking iato consideration the 1 depression of trade in all branches of industry during the past year, and the struggles whioh had taken place in various industries in connection with trades unionism, he thought the attendance at that assembly showed that the working men of the country had every confidence in the usefulness and benefits of trades unions. (Applause.) i Though they had sustained defeats in Lancashire, London, Northumberland, and other places, they had not become 1 wholly demoralised, but retained a nucleus by which they 1 could improve their position at no distant period, and! become as strong as" ever they had been in the past. (Applause.) They had now to contend with a strong: federation of employers, and ho thought the day was not 1 far distant when they, as trades unionists, would have to extend their lines, and have a strong federation, instead of existing simply as isolated societies. (Applause.) Mr. G.

F. Jones, secretary of the Bristol Trades Council. was elected president; Mr. Kennedy, of the United Trades Council, Glasgow, vice-president; Mr. J.

F. Hopkins, secretary of the Prison Labour Keform Association, Bristol, secretary; Mr. John Burnett, London Society of Engineers, treasurer; and Mr. Liverpool, and Mr. Caunt, Bristol, auditors of the Congress.

1 The Standing Orders Committee having been elected and some minor officers appointed, Mr. Jones assumed the I office of president, and having briefly acknowledged his! election reserved his ooening address until the assembling of the Congress to-morrow. i Mr. Broadhurst (London), secretary of the Parlia-1 mentary Committee, presented the report of that commit- tee, which characterised the past session of Parliament as a most exciting one. Questions of foreign policy had I largely superseded the consideration of home matters, many of which hadbeon neglected through the all-absorbing Eastern question.

The committee trusted that obstacles to progress at home would not exist in the coming year, and that those matters whioh so deeply affected the welfaro of artisans would receive the consideration their import- ance demanded. The committee congratulated the Con-1 fress on the progress made during tho past year with the Liability for Injuries Bill. Although there was no actual legislative gain to report, the question had made enormous strides in tho amount of public attention it had attracted, and public opinion had undergone a remarkable change in relation to it. The committee felt justified in attributing the change to the constant at ten- tion and persistent efforts they had made, backed by the efficient assistance rendered by the various trades associa- tions in sending petitions and letters from their many branches in all parts of the United Kingdom. In the course of the debate, the Attorney-General, on behalf of the Government, made a promise to introduce a hill on the subject of employers' liability, but, although Mr.

had constantly pressed the Government to introduce the bill, nothing more had been heard of it. The associated employers were offering a most fierce opposition to any Government action on the i question, and the committee had heen informed that a large deputation had an interview with the Attorney- i General urging him not to proceed with the bill. Whether the Attorney-General intended to comply with their wishes or not it was only too evident that the workmen would have to throw their whole influence into the agitation or no legislation would be obtained. The report next referred to the passing of the Factory and Workshop Act, in which some important modifications were conceded by the Home Secretary, but on the whole the Act contained all the important principles of tho bUI in its original draft. was expressed that the Merchant Seamen Bill had been deferred until next session, and it was most unfortu- nate that there were no seamen's associations to back up the efforts of Mr.

Burt, Mr. Plimsoll, and other friends of the movement. After some reference to the Criminal Code Bill, the Summary Jurisdiction Bill, and the bill for the reform of the Jury Laws, the committee said that, 1 in conjunction with Mr. Burt. M.P., they had dene their best during the past session to bring I the subject of the enginemen, and the necessity I for legislation on their behalf, before the House of Com- i' mons, but they regretted no progress had been made with it.

The only case of dispute between skilled and unskilled labour which had been brought under the consideration of the Parliamentary Committee was the dispute between i' the shipyard labourers and the iron ship builders on the 1 Tyne; and the committee, having fully considered the 1 matter, was of opinion that, on account of tho technical difficulties involved, no mutually satisfactory terms of i settlement could be arranged by persons not possessing 11 technical knowledge of the working of shipyards, and they therefore could not make any recommendation to i the Congress on the subject. The committee thanked their numerous friends i.i Parliament for the valuable and efficient aid received during a protracted and difficult session and amongst the friends out of Parliament the 11 committee were especially indebted to Mr. Henry Cromp- i ton, Mr. U. S.

Wright, Sir Jas. Fitzjames Stephen, and i Mr. Frederick Harrison. The committee, in remarking upon the general position of trades unions, stated; that the past year had been one of great depres- siou in nearly every branch of productive industry, The want of employment had not been peculiar to Great Britain. Other countries had suffered much more severely I in that respect than their own.

Reports from America I and the Continent all testified to the prostration of trade throughout the world. There couid be no doubt that the 1 reckless speculative mania, so prevalent a few years back, coupled with the unsettled condition of European politics, have been the chief factors in the general collapse. The committee had great hope, now that war had ceased, that the next spring would bring frith it a revival of trade. I' The present year had witnessed the close of two remark- able disputes in the building masons of London and the joiners of Manchester. In both oases the men were supported by powerful unions, with large accumu- 1 lated funds and great resources in the power of levying for extra support.

They regretted to say that in both 1 cases the men failed to establish their demands, 'i hat 1 1 might be accountcd for in many ways. First, although the building trades in Manchester and London 1 1 were in a prosperous state at the commencement 1 ot the disputes, yet, under the power of the 1 clauses now inserted in all contracts, the employers are i' enabled to postpone the completion of the works to an indefinite period. Second, the sympathies of nearly all classes of people, except tho workers, are on the side of capital, without regard to the special point in dispute. This applies more especially to local corporations and other governing bodies. Third, the employers in nearly all branches of industry are now united in powerful organisa- 1 tions.

This form of united action they have undoubtedly copied from our own unions. Their almost unlimited wealth, tbeir severe discipline and concentration of authority, gives them a power of offence anu resistance hardly equalled by our best unions. Fourth, the collapse of American industries and Continental works has flooded the labour market with skilled hands of all trades. The superfluous wealth of English employers enabled them to I import this labour into i- ngland. not from motives of economy, but from determination to defeat the workmen's combination, even though it should entail a greater outlay of money than would have satisfied the requirements of native workpeople.

The English unions are thus brought face to face with a most wealthy, most unscrupulous, and most skilfully organised a power not directed by the open form of government known to our unions, but for the most part working in secret and shunning the light of day. Its deliberations are conducted in private chambers, and its edicts go forth in strictly private and confidential circulars. Its victims are struck by unknown hands. The greatest offence known to these secret associations is membership of a trades union. The highly-skilled and industrious workman is punished equally with the worthless should he be determined to exercise his birthright of association with his fellow-workers.

Tho committee observed that it was not theit duty to point out the means of dealing with these new elements in industrial conflicts, but they ventured to warn the unions that, in order to meet the new condition of things, the societies must be placed on the soundest foundations. The directing authority, which wa3 now so scattered as to be almost useless, must be concentrated. Organisation was fast becoming a science, requiring experience and statesmanship to successfully conduct it. The revenues of the unions must be enlarged their areas of influence must be considerably extended. The great conflict in the textile trades was too recent and its chief features too widely known to need recapitulation.

The original proposal of the operatives had the sympathy of all trades. Although the committee had no direct means of assisting the operatives with funds, yet individually they used their personal influence collecting funds for those on strike, and also for those who were most unjustifiably looked out in Lancashire. With regard to the riots the committee had little to say. Those who committed the outrages had met with their punishment. The committee had only to remark that the leading unionists in the strike used their utmost power, and were completely successful in keeping their members from committing breaches of the law.

The committee earnestly hoped that such a contest might never be witnessed in this country. (Applause) No body more earnestly regretted the everrecurring conflicts between capital and labour than the committee. It nevertheless ventured to warn the employers that the stamping-out process would not succeed. (Applause.) Unionism was too firmly rooted in our soil to be destroyed by capital, however powerful and in- sidious its opiio-sition might be. AVorkmeu only asked for the wages necessary to maintain their homes and meet the constantly-increasing demands of the taxation.

To secure that they believed combination to be as necessary now as it had ever been, and they had no hesitation in saying that tho unions had a future before them immeasurably greater, more powerful, and more successful than their past. On the motion of Mr. Fitrpatrick (Liverpool), seconded by Mr. Kemp (-Leicester), the consideration of the report was postponed until to-morrow, and the Congress adjourned. North Staffordshire Licensed Victuallers' tenth annual report of this society states that the number of members continue to increase, and there is a balance on the benevolent fund ot £520.

of which £300. is invested, while the protection fund has a balance of £48. los. 2d. The committee are pleased to say that the society had not been called upon during the past year to defend any serious charges, and all cases that have been brought before them have been dealt with most satisfactorily.

Two deaths have occurred during the year, and the relatives in both cases have received relief. Tha committee hope that the members will still increase, and that the business of the society will continue to be carried on as satisfactorily as hitherto. They will always be ready to meet any necessary demands made upon them by members. Mr. Hyslop (Newcastle) has been re-elected president of the society, and similar compliments have been paid to Messrs.

A long-distance swimming contest for the championship of the Mersey took place on Saturday, the course being from Liverpool to Runcorn.

There were six competitors. The prize was awarded to T. W. Huntington (son of Mr. Councillor Huntington), who covered a distance of about 1 eight miles in a little over two hours.

About half-past twelve yesterday morning, Mr. Message, of Blazden Farm. Lower Merton, was aroused by a cry of fire. He found that the stables and cow and cart shed wore in tiames. The horses, cows, and carts were with some difficulty saved, and the fire was prevented from extending to the rickyard and other outbuildings.

Some weeks ago a locomotive engine-driver, named Parker, living at Hoole, near Chester, murdered his wife, and made a determined attempt at suicide. He lay at the Chester Infirmary till Saturday, on which day, having regained his strength sufficiently, he brought before a magistrate. The accused is now in the county gaol on remand. Mr. Martin, manager of the Union Bank, Bridge of Allan, who had been spending a holiday at Couonr Angus, Perthshire, was drowned on Sunday while bathing with a friend in the river Isla.

He was seized with cramp. James Raeburn, afred 13 years, while bathing in the Tay, near Errol, on Sunday afternoon, was attacked with cramp in three feet of water, and drowned. At the Hammersmith Police Court, on Saturday, a man was charged on a warrant with not sending his daughter to school for eighteen months. A question arose which frequently comes up in connection with School Board cases disposal of the baby. Here the defendant's wife was ill, and the magistrate di.

cbarged the prisoner, telling him to send the girl to school when his'wife recovered. A shocking occurrence has taken place near Bath. A man named Adam, who was noted for his reckless actions as a swimmer, was induced by a wager of 2s. Cd. to Cxi.

to iump from Newton Bridge into Avon. The bridge is upwards of forty feet high. Adams was partially intoxicated. He fell, instead of diving, into the water, and was rendered incapable of swimming by the concussion, and was drowned. A singular circumstance has just occurred at St.

Simon's 1 Church, Southsea. A lad, the son of a coachman, sitting 1 in a free seat in one of the galleries, opened a hymn book which was lying on the book-board, when a small paper parcel fell out. On examining it he found that it consisted of five £5. Bank of England notes. The lad, on leaving the church, gave the notes to his father, and the latter communicated with the vicar.

The driver of a cattle train on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway felt that his engine was nearly thrown off the line when he was within half a mile of the Wigan station on Saturday afternoon. Upon pulling up he found that a heavy iron "chair" had been placed across one of the metals. Two boys, John Kelly and John Clarke, neither of whom was more than ten years old, were arrested on the charge of placing the obstruction on the line. An unusual number of accidents by lightning, both serious and curious, have been lately reported. At Witham, says the Efectrician, tho lightning ran along the telegraph wires into the instruments at the Post Officc, fusing the coil of the galvanometer, shooting thence to the testing box with a vivid blue flame, succeeded by a loud report, and passing out and along the wires to the Braintree Post Office, seven miles distant, where some slight damage was also done.

An interesting little return has been issued by the Par- liamentary printers. It shows the cost of the Court of Chancory. The judges cost £40,844., while their officers cost nearly £170,000. The expense of the courts is about £8,000. the cost of stationery is precisely the same.

The retired judges cost us more than £20,000., of which threequarters go to the threa ex-chancellors, Lords Chelmsford, Hatherley, and Selborne. Altogether the Court of Chancery costs £295,000. per annum. Tho Durham coal trade is threatened with further complications. All the mechanics employed at the Marquis of Londonderry's collieries, and also at Messrs.

Straker and Lovo's, Willington, have received notices that after the 23rd of September the hours of working will be lengthened an hour day. At several collieries tho workmen have accepted these terms, witn the exception of the members of the National Amalgamated Society of Mechanics, whose attitude is averse to a peaceful settlement of the question. In August an inmate of the Bedwellty Union, named Sarah Brewer, made a confession that she had murdered three of her children in the county of Hereford, one at Kington and two at Stoke Edith. The police have visited the places mentioned by the woman Brewer, and also examined the baptismal certificates and registers of deaths. One child said to have been poisoned at Kington is living, and is a soldier, and another, a girl who was thought to have died at Stoke Edith, has turned up all safe, and is living at Rhymney.

The sufferers by the Sittingbourne railway accident now in that town are making some progress, though Miss Rogers, who is very seriously injured, is not out of danger.

The schooner was bound from i Seville for Caririckfergus, with 270 tons of sulphur ore, and came into collision, south of Cape Finisterre, with the screw-steamer Rambler, of Glasgow, bound from Swansea I for Naples. The schooner disappeared soon after the collision, but tjie steamer's boat was launched and succeeded in picking up two men, whose names are not known, but Captain Dickenson, who was in charge of the i schooner, as well as the mate and cook, were arewned.
