.. Disturbances near New York.

Serious,disturbances have occurred near New York, requiring the calling out of a large military force. The trouble has arisen owing to the relusal of the contractors for some new reservoir dams to increase the pay of 800 Italian workmen in their employ. On 16 ulio, me sergeant-- Scotsman named Douglas --was murdered by the strikers, who are en- trenched and drill daily. They threaten to to blow up one of the dame, thus cutting off

York's water supply.

The Next General Election. Speaking at Bristol, Sir Michael Hicks Beach said he could not tell when the general election would take place, and felt absolutely certain nobody else knew; but if the war did not extend beyond the natural life of Parliament, the Government would not appeal to the consti- tuencies before they were in a position to judge the policy that would be recommended. With regard to the celebration of Primrose Hay, he clamed that Lord Beaconsfield was one of the first to appreciate the enormous advantage of knitting the Colonies to the Stother Country..
