Triple Alliance Suspends Action.
Londos, April 1.
The beal authorities have bem instructed to enrol special constables. The situation to-night, though grave, is not devoid of hope. It ielieved that certain influential Labour leaders are exorcising pressure upon to miners with a view to creating an atmosphere favourable to pean pariega.

Meanwhile it is understood that the Cabinet is unted in not flinching on the questions of no subsidy and no (resumption of control.
