THE GREAT STRIKES.
MATTERS STILL UNSETTLED. THE TROUBLE BETWEEN THE MEDIATORS. London, Sept 9. The Lord Mayor, Cardinal Manning, and Bishop Temple have jointly published a letter stating that they cannot understand the attitude now assumed by the strikers, and if it is persisted in the men, they consider, will justly forfeit the public sympathy which had previously been expressed for them. Lord Mayor Whitehead accuses the strikers of a breech of faith in refusing to accept the compromise. Burns repeats that he did not bind himself to accept the compromise on behalf of the men, but the three gentleman who oonferred with him again assert that he did. At a meeting at Hyde Park Burna stated he merely undertook to submit the proposal to the Executive on the men's side, but the rejection was unanimous, and so he was of opinion that mediation was a mistake. Samuel Plimsoll, formerly member for Derby, will oppose Burna if the latter seeks to enter Parliament for that constituency, The Press comment on the splendid donations from Australia in aid of the strikers contrasted with empty resolutions of sympathy from America.
