GENERAL CABLES.

U.S.A. UNEMPLOYMENT. By Telegrnpli.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Washington, December 18. Mr. Davis, Secretary for Labour, in his annual report to Congress, gives as his opinion that the unemployed crisis periodically afflicting the United states is not so much due to the aciiud dearth of employment as to th 3 inability of American workmen to adjust themselves to changing circumstances, and turn to other lines when their own trade is slack. Mr. Davis thinks the remedy is that every workman should learn a secondary trade. The report urges tnat more attention should be given to tne Federal employment service, which last year found employment for 1,500,000. RUSSIAN OFFICIAL ARRESTED. Helsingfors,, December 18.

CATTLE IMPORTATIONS. London, December IS.
