According to reliable information. two

hoped, will make ideal employes from
the employers' standpoint, and bring
them to West Pullman to take th
places of the white men who have
their homes there but were unwilling
to submit to having their wages reduced
in spite of the prospeiity of w hich their
employers have been boasting.
The strike occurred with little pre

workmen waited on the officers of the
company and asked for an adjustment
of wages. They d-clared t':at the pry

None of the London dallies have yet

placing the young noblemen at the head
of the sa lords.
PREMIER PRKFERH BRODRICK.
Mr. IJtodrlek's s-i lion as minister
of war will not create any enthusiasm.
It was expected that George Wyndham.
late parliamentary under secretary of
state for war. would get the war port
folio because cf his brilliant services
in behalf of the government during the
Houth Afitcan struggle. But Lord Sal
isbury said he did not know Mr. Wynd
ham and preferred Mr. Brodrlck, who
he declared, had conducted the Chinese
business very well. Consequently llr.
Wyndham must he satislied with tne
Irish secretaryship.
