The International Labour Conference met at Berlin on Saturday, and

has been at work ever since. Nothing is known of its proceedings except that M. Delahaye, a French representative of Socialism, resigned because he was not allowed to propound his scheme for society ; but the mem- bers express themselves content with their progress, and hope to finish their labours by the end of the month. It is quite understood that the result will only be an academic declaration of reforms held to be expedient if practicable. There is not much harm in that.
