London. A severe snowstorm crippled the Easter Volunteer manoeuvres at Chatham and Dover. Many pfihe corps taking part in the sham fight were up to their knees 1 in snow.
A hundred thousand men were at Hampstead, where the crowd rushed the railway platform, fearing that a storm was setting in. In descending ( the stairs one or two women fell, j causing an accident, which resulted ] in two women and six boy* being killed, and 13 injured. j Those engaged in the cotton trade have agreed to a conference with the ( employers but in the event of it not resulting satisfactorily 52,000 people will be thrown out of work. The Chronicle asserts that since the Durham miners went on strike a \ million and a quarter has been lost in wages. It is reported that anti-Parnellites are boycotting the friends of the " late uncrowned king of Ireland." The Hon A. J. Balfour was received in Ireland as the friend and saviour of the peasantry, and Messrs Healy and O'Brien were afraid to appear on the platform unless Mr Balfour's friends were there to protect them.
