Iiondon, April 18.—The report of the commission of British worklngmen who were taken to the United States at the end of last year by Alfred Moseley, a wealthy Englishman, to study conditions of labor there attracts a great deal of attention and is much discussed by the English press this morning as conveying valuable lessons to both masters and workmen, but as being on the whole a very satisfactory document from a British point of view. The report presents the views of twenty-three delegates, who make separate synopses of their deductions resulting from the American trip. The report shows a lack of unanimity, except that all agree that the British -workman has nothing to learn from the American workman, while British employers are not so far advanced as the Americans in the treatment of their employees.

Mr. Cummings concludes with a severe criticism of the social and moral life in America, where, he says, "gambling and pleasure seeking appear to be characteristics. The disregard for liumuiitllfe, the corruption in politics and other immoralities tend to the moral and physical deterioration of the people and must be arrested If disaster is to be avoided." 42 Nor*h Main Sfraef, fy Next to Eagle Hotel.

The whole accident originated In an unsuspected flaw in a tnrnlmckle .eyepiece. oLflleeLJittlfi thicker than a man's thumb. Possibly the strains were calculated too fine. In any case, one turnbuckle going, the others followed Instantaneously, depriving the mast of its chief support, the feather shrouds. No spar ever built or grown could stand unsupported to this press of canvas, much less the light steel shell to which Mr. Fife trusted It. The mast snapped off and fortunately fell clear, or there might have been a heavy loss of life. It is surmised that Seaman Collier was crossing the deck at the time after leaving Sir Thomas Llpton and lost his balance with the lurch of the boat. The most is now in four pieces. It will be impossible to repuir It, but most of the rigging was duplicated beforehand, so that it will only be necessary to replace the mast and sails. Washington, April 18.—Great surprise was caused here by the bitter comments of the German press, which construes the orders for the European squadron to be at Marseilles when President loubet returns to France as a slap at Germany, especially In view of the refusal of the Invitation from Emperor William for tlie fleet to visit Kiel. A high official of the navy department said: "The fleet is going to Marseilles because the president of France is traveling, and naval contingents of other nations will pay their respects to him. If the emperor of Germany was similarly Journeying near the place where the squadron was lying it would salute him. There Is no good reason for pique on the part of Germany, but if the German people show that they think we are keeping the ships away as a discourtesy I think the squadron will be sent into German waters."
