LONDON , August 33. [ Now York Herald
Cnblo Socelnl to TUB BBB.I By far tlio
most serious event ot the day la tlio Imrnciibo
BtrlKo now going on In London. It gives
very scrloud unoaslncss to the authorities ,
nad no wonder , for nearly 100,000 men nto
already engaged In it nnd there Is every
reason to bellovo that Uio number will go on
Increasing , for there are ninny signs that the
entire movement has been preconcerted ntul
that the socialist lo bodies In London have
been busily preparing for It for some Httlo
time. The general publlo do not yet sconi to
be aware of whiit Is taking nlaco around
thorn. The shipping trade of this great port
IB nearly paralyzed , the coal trade is blocked ,
car inon nro giving ui | work in nil direc
tions , so that goods nro with dlfllculty
delivered , nnd it is well known that the pas
companies nro In fear unu trembling of a
Btrlko which would pluncro London In dark
ness. In point of fact , whnt seems to bo Just
now Impending is something like a gen
eral rising among the laboring classes. The
men who hnvo turned out thus far have
.shown Croat good temper In tholr proces
sions and demonstrations but they arc also
very determined not to allow men to work in
the places which they hnvo deserted. As
pollco protection Is claimed for the now
hnnds nnd cannot bo raised , it Is obvious
that grave elements of danger exist
nnd they may break out at uny
moment. The authorities nro fully
nlivo to this nnd lust Sunday the foot guards
08 well ns household regiments were kept in
barracks all day In event of tholr services
becoming necessary. The pollco force , al
ready overworked , has also been again
called upon for extra duty.
There nro always alarmists in every emer
gency. who predict , nil sorts of calamities ,
hence one is not surprised to find that there
are whispers of the docks being sot on lire
nnd of n general raid of the shops of the
West End. Without anticipating any such
disaster , itdoosscoui a pity that the author !
tloi could not have the dock companies con
sent to having the dispute with their men re-
tcrrcd to arbitration. The dock lu-
borjr has much to complain of.
Ho has boon entirely helpless in the
bands of the companies and they have
taken every ndvnntagc of him. His present
claims arc in the main Just and reasonable.
Under these circumstances it is n pity that
the government could not have brought a
little gcntlo pressure to be.ir upon the dooK
companies so thai a compromise might have
been dovisod. I fear it is almost too late for
that now. The strikers feel their own
strength and their leaders impress upon
them night and day that the metropolis is
pretty much nl their mercy. It is becoming
moro nnd moro ainicult every hour to BOO
nny way out of the diftlculty. Meanwhile
wo really do not know how long we sh-xll
bo able to get food. It Is often
pointed out that in the event
of a btockudo London would soon bo reduced
to starvation. Wo nro getting into some
thing like that position. Ships can indeed
come up the river , but they can not unload.
Cargoes of foreign moat nro spoiling In the
Thames. Corn can not bo discharged from
the vessels which brought it , und oven pas-
,1 songur trudlo is beginning to bo disorgan-
A ixed. The whole business world of London
5 V is affected , for nothing can bo bought or sold
! lunlcss delivery can bo guaranteed. Moro-
lover , the strike seems likely to extend to
t ( Southampton , Liverpool and other ports ,
pud if It does business will ho most sorious'y '
Impeded , if not actually stopped for n time ,
With the most serious consequences for the
police , as well as for the various
companies. Parliament , of course , can do
nothing in thn matter , but perhaps the pres
ident of the board of trade might use his in
fluence with the dock companies , even nl
this Into hour , with a view of bringing about
n reconciliation. Unless some such stop can
bo taken the trouble will inevitably spread
and wo may soon huro events to deplore
which would alarm tlio whole country. Tlio
Cunurd , White Star , Inman , P. & O. and
other lines nro doing their utmost to keep
their man in good humor , and , indeed , most
of the handa acknowledge that they hnvo
nothing serious to complain of , but they uro
being subjected to great intimidation.
If uny thing can bo done to avert tbo evils
which nro looming hoivily over us it be
hooves the povornwnt and nil persons ol
Influence to act without another moment's
delay.

delivery from the docicsVo huvo ordered

express a determination to press tholr claims
nnd march through the streets until the de
mands ot the dockmon shall have been

nro unusually free from nolso , owing to the

to omnibuses and cubs. Public sentiment is
growing in favor of the abolition of private
dock companies nnd placing the docks under
municipal control. The prbo of provisions

unnblo to obtain admission. As the day ad
vanced the excitement became intense , and
when it was announced that Mme.

wont u ; > from the multitude. This was noth
ing , however , to tlio scene which took place
when she nsccndcd the platform. The people
ple rose en masse and thunders of applause
rent the air. She wore the orders of merit
of the Into czar of Russia , and also of the
cities of Paris and Brussels.
She flrst sang the nrhv , "Oh , Non Credl , "
and n selection from "La Somnambula"and
in response to un enthusiastic encore gave
"Tlio Last Uosa of Summer" with thrilling
ofTcct. The climax of enthusiasm was not
reached , however , until she sang ' 'Homo ,
Sweet Homo , " and the Welsh national song ,
"Hen Wlad fy Nhaudau , " which , means
"Land of my forefathers. "
Such a sight has never been witnessed be
forein Wales. During the singing many
people \vero In tears , such was tbo pathos
she imparted to the words , and at tlio ter
mination of the songs cheer after cheer rang
out for some minutes. The people rose to
their feet and the waving of hats and hand
kerchiefs presented an almost indescribable

befnro General Sherman and party. General
Sherman was received with immense enthu
siasm and inado a brief speecn which , ho
savs is the last ho will over make. General
Sherman said :
"Hoys , my speaking days are over. I am
not going to make any moro speeches. I am
glad to see so many soldiers looking
hearty and healthy. 1 think wo can stana
on our legs. 1 like to sco that our old Uncle
Sum takes proUy good care of these old
soldiers. Uncle Sum cannot nviko old men
young , but he can mike young men just as
good us AOU or I ever wore. I sco Milwaukee
U full of them and they are coming out of
the bushes everywhere. Wo nave
passed through ono crisis of our
country's history. I don't see any
chance of another. but nobody
knows the future. Bring up your children
to love and venerate the old soldiers who
fought In ' 111 and ' 05 , and maketluin uncover
their heads \yhon they sco that banner that
you followed In the days which tried us.-Lot
us venerate that flag und love our country
and love each other und stand by each other
as long as wo have heads on our shoulders
und lops on our bodies.
"Those old soldiers who marched against
the enemy in those trying days a grateful
country trios its best to assist , and will , I
think , in fuet I urn sure , bo good to you
when you get old , all that is necessary , but
keep young as long as you can , and do
not go into a suldlors' homo if you can
help it. "
Ex-Commissioner Block and Secretary of
Agriculture Husk also inado brief remarks.
The annual reunion of the veteran signal
corps was hold hero to-day and elected J. B.
Forakcr , of Ohio , president.
The report of the pension committee re
views iu detail the work of the past oignt
years. The lust national encampment com-
n ittce prepared two pension bills , the disa
bility bill and the bill granting a pension to
each honorably discharged veteran at the
monthly rate of ono cent for each day's ser
vice with the minimum limitation of $3 per
month. Bills containing all of the provisions
of these measures were then In various
forms before a committee of congress , but It
was found on consultation with the members
of the last session entirely Impossible in the
then state of public affairs to secure any
favorable action thereon. . _ Should the en
campment re-anirm its opinion of ono year
use these bills are readv for early presenta
tion to both branches of congress nt the opan-
ing of the session.
From interviews with the leading mem
bers of both houses and the friendly attitude
of the administration and the liberal views
of the secretary of the interior and the com
missioner of pensions , the latter being ap
pointed after eight years of faithful service
on this committee , legislation may , be , had
which shall go far toward the completion of
the full measure of the nation's indebted
ness to the men who defended her flag.
Very unexpectedly the delegates proceeded
to the election of officers to-night. General
Russell A. Alcor ' , of Michigan , Imii it all his
own way and'was elected by acclamation.
Col. A. G. Wolssct. of Milwaukee , was

Dr. George O. Glavls , nn nttornoy ot this
city , who has recently been to Europe , came
backon the Fnlda. Among the passonccra
were Mr. J. 13. Farwoll , of Chicugo ; Mr.
McGregor , of tho'treasury department , und
Clans Spreckols. Dr. Glavls says that dur-
Inu the voyngo tbo gentlemen named ubovo
were frequently together , nnd that Mr.
Spreckles Intends to run down the sugar
trust yet , although ho expects that the Unlit
will bo a long and diillcult one. But It
was not so much tbo Intention of
the Hawaiian sugar king toward the
sugar trust that interested the
gentleman of the party as the sohotno ho di
vulged for InnUllnc an addition to the white
house. Mr. Spreckols told the coterlo that
while experimenting to discover n process
for hardening the sugar bnet for export ho
recently hit upon n device which docs the
work so thoroughly as to practically petrify
the saccharine. So hard does it become , ac
cording to Mr. Sureckcls' statement , that it
is absolutely Insalublo In water und can not
bo Injured by winds or rains.
Mr. Spreckols proposes , to build an addi
tion to the executive mansion to bo con
structed entirely of this hardened sugar.
Ho claims that it will bo whiter than tlio
whitest marble , that ho will furnish It ut
just one-half the cost of marble , Und that
after he has completed the work it shall bo
carefully examined by a committee of experts -
ports und if ono of the committee rulsos a
single reasonable objection to the material
ho will remove the whole of it and rcstoro
the grounds to their original sluipe without
the cost of ono cent to the government.
Dr. Glavls , at the instance of Mr. Speck-
els , Is preparing specifications to submit to
the patent ofllco in order thut ho may protect
the. hardening process , which ho has discov
ered. The scheme seems to bo absurd upon
its face und tha idea of using sugar as build
ing will doubtlessly bring down lots of ridi
cule upon the he.ids of the projectors , but
yet that It is feasible is quito in the bounds
of probability. The attention of your corre
spondent was directed to-day to nn
article in the Encyclopedia Brittan-
icu in which a process for harden
ing gelatine was described. This
nrticlo explains how golatlno is hardened to
sucti a acgrco that it can be nnd is used as
the matrix for engraved plates. So hard
does the substance become under the process
that the raised surface is forced into soft
steel nnd the design is thereby duplicated as
often ns desired. It would seem quite pos
sible , therefore , if gelatine can DO so hard
ened that there would bo no difficulty in
treating sugar in the same manner.
Just how Mr. Sprockets can produce the
hardened sugar so us to sell the blocks at
hulf the price of marble has not yet been
explained. Beet sugar is to beisod , the
idea bcing'to make the addition u peculiarly
national structure.
NOT AFHAID OF OAMI'IIELL.
Ohio politicians , after the announcement
of the nomination ot James Campbell for
governor to-day , were freely discussing tlio
probabilities , nnd the drift of opinion among
them was that there will not bo half the
harmony in the democratic ranks that was
predicted ; in fact , ono of the best posted
Thurmanitcs from Cincinnati said to your
correspondent : "Campbell will meet every
opposition from two distinct factious iu
the uarty. In the flrst place the
Hurd men , who are quite a power through
out tlio state ut the polls , if not ut the con
ventions , will certainly knife Campbell be
cause of his affiliations with tlio Randall
wing of the party in tlio house. Then , too ,
the friends of Thurman believe that 'Jim-
mie' has been altogether too friendly with
the republicans of Cincinnati to suit , thorn ,
and they will use the knife very freely in
Hamilton county. " Altogether the pros
pects are better for the election of Forakor ,
with Campbell on the democratic ticket ,
than they would have been witli uny other
man whose numo was suggested iu the con
vention.

' 1 his year it has not yet been sent to the

filed. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the
total number was 1,311 cases , and
the chances nrO now that it will bo five
years before the last case on the docket is
reached unless congress takes some stops to
relieve the supreme court of the growing
burden. That such steps will bo taken scorns
to bo assured , as efforts iu that direction
hnvo been nmilo several times in the past ,

being straight up und down. Despite the
