Some of the Auckland bootmakers on strike, seeing no sign of a settlement of the dispute or resumption of work, are going to the gumfields this week.
THE EUROPEAN SITUATION, THE RUSSIAN BEAR AND TURKEY. JUST now all eyes are centred on the Dardanelles, and most people fancy they can discern a small cloud, perhaps “ no bigger than a man’s hand,’' tiding cut of the water. We sincerely trust the cloud is purely fanciful; at any rate wo don't feel disposed to disturb ourselves very much. We have heard the cry of 11 Fox!” too often to bo troubled readily. We have bean startled by sensational and ominous headlines in the newspapers ; and as we have launtered peacefully and listlessly along Princes street our acute and delicate sensibi’itios have been harshly shocked by a so-called “extra” ruthlessly pasted up outside some enterprising barber’s or apothecary’s stop which convoyed the intelligence that “ war had been declared,” acd as a coos-.quenco the “cables Ir.d been cut”; and, as if this was not enough, we were further informs d that a few ironclads were cruising about dangerously near tbe Ocean Beach, But at present, taking into consideration various facts in connection with tbe European situation, we must confess to a slight feeling of uneasiness. In the Erst place we learn that France has offered to raise a loan for Russia of L12,01>0,000 sterling, and in the next place it is reported that the Saltan had dismissed tbe Grand Viz'er (Kiamil Pasha), and although the reason for bis dismissal is said to have been on account of “the frequent Instances of brigandage,” it is pretty generally understood that the late Grand Vizier was disgraced became of his friendly attitude towards the Triple Alliance. Then again, Turkey has been further playing into the enemies’ hands by entering into a friendly agreement with respect to the passage of the Datdaneller. The outlook at present (whatever it might have been In the past) is certainly dark and warlike, and as we are a'ready feeling j ust a trifle " shaky ” about the region of the knees, we think we will just drop in aroand the corner and odl for Buchanan’s famed House of Commons Whisky.
