Victoria and other docks in London to-day.The chief encounter occurred at the Victoria docks where 2,000 of the laborers, who had been on strike for over tes weeks, appeared at the docks in compliance with manifesto of Dock Workers Federation ordering them to resume work.They found, however, that their places were occupied by non-unionists, or \u201cfree\u201d laborers, who had been taken on during the strike and who were determined to continue at work.They defied the men belonging to the union to eject them and severe fight ensued.Bullets, bricks and stones flew in all directions.The police, of whom only about a dozen were present, were taken by surprise and were powerless to suppress the disturbance.Another hot fight centred around steamer City of Columbia, which was being loaded at one of

were called and finally succeeded in quelling the disturbance.Both unionists and non-unionists accuse each other of starting the trouble.NEW TURN 10 ENOCH AH MV.Husband Returned After Absence Of 14

York Gamblers.WHO IS TO BLAME ?DISTRICT ATTORNEY HAS NAMES OF THOSE HIGH UP IN POLICE CIRCLES.New York, July 31.\u2014Sworn statements tending to show that the annual graft collected by high police officials in New York City from gambling houses and other illegal resorts has amour lad within the last year to $2,400,000 were in the hands of District Attorney last night.The statements were made to the District Attorney yesterday by \u201cBald\u201d Jack Rose, self-accused graft collector for Police Lieutenant Charles Becker, head of the \u201cstrong-arm squad,\u201d who last night began his second day of incarceration in the Tombs prison as an alleged instigator of the murder o£ Herman Rosenthal, the gambler.This annual yield of $2,400,000 protection money was equally divided, according to the story told by Rose, among four high officials of the police department, one of them being Becker, and from other evidence the District Attorney has collected he has reason to suspect that each $600,000 was further distributed.In other words, there were four separate systems for bureaus of graft collection, each headed by a high police official.HAS NAMES OF GRAFTERS.Mr.Whitman, it was learned, has the names of the other three police officials whom Rose has named, and his further efforts in this now most sensational \u2018\u2018police exposure\u201d that New York has ever seen will be directed toward strengthening the evidence which points against them.One of the officials named, it was learned, holds a position at headquarters and is in a strict sense a civilian employee.The name of a former prominent city official has been brought to the attention of the District Attorney as having been closely connected with the \u201cgraft system,\u201d but it was learned that the evidence thus far obtained against him is not of a tangible nature.The evidence, however, is being closely followed by the detectives in the employ of the District Attorney.It also became known last night that if Lieutenant Becker will tell all he knows, not only in respect to his own alleged complicity in the murder, but will unfold the inner workings of the graft system insofar as it may involve the \u201cmen higher up,\u201d that he will be granted mercy, and on that condition only.The alleged fact of the $2,400,000 graft fund was told to Bose by Becker, the little bald-headed gambler said in a sworn statement yesterday.Becker, he said, told him that he handled $600,000 a year and that equal amounts were handled by three other officials.This, he said, came in collections from gambling houses, pool rooms, houses of ill-repute and the like.CONFESSIONS CORROBORATED.Rose said he had collected gambling graft for Becker for months, and he promised the District Attorney that he would obtain for him the rates paid by gambling houses, make a tabulation of what these receipts amounted to monthly and yearly, and how the money was handled.That there were other collectors beside Rose is the assumption of the district attorney, who hopes to identify them.Becker, he said, gave him liberal commissions for his work.\u201cBecker told me that he was the prince of the police department,\u201d Rose said.\u201cHe paid me liberally out of my collections, but I never was able to keep what I got.I was a fool gambler and gambled it all away.\u201d I i COAL UP IN

scene and did what they could to save what they could of the property.It was fortunate that the lad Fournier happened to he around at the time, for had he not Mr.Armstrong would surely have been

31.\u2014The Department of Marine and Fisheries is now considering ways and means of keeping open navigation to a greater period on the Great Lakes in order to cope more adequately with the grain rush from the Western Provinces.NEW BANK FOR CHINA.Shanghai, July 31.\u2014It is reported that Dr.Sim Yat Sen and General Huang Sing, who was minister of war in the provisional cabinet, have con.eluded negotiations for the establishment in Shanghai of a foreign and Chinese hank with a capital of $10,-000,000.Their object is to checkmate the proposed foreign loan.This is the question the citizens are asking.The so-called \u201cgovernment by injunction,\u201d or by actions at law continues.One faction of the City Council seeks to set aside the acts of the other faction by appeal to the courts and up to the present the ! city treasury has paid all the costs.As announced în yesterday\u2019s Record ! the latest action is another from Alderman McManamy to annul the recent loan by-law which was approved by the citizens at the polls by an overwhelming majority.The attack on this by-law will hold up the public improvement work and unless a real public service is being rendered it is unfortunate.If the city loses it will cost the public treasury a lot of money.If the city wins, and in winning, also, escapes the law costs, the public treasury will still be put to expense through the necessity of continuing at excessive interest the temporary loan from the bank.Public query at this initial stage of the proceedings is directed at the city authorities and places them all to a certain extent on trial in this connection.1.\tThe by-law was prepared by the city attorney.Is it faulty of construction ?2.\tInformation relative to the bylaw was supplied by the city treasurer.Was this information correct ?3.\tThe by-law was approved by the Finance Committee.Did it receive intelligent consideration ?4.\tThe by-law was passed by the City Council.Did the aldermen understand the by-law when they voted for it ?5.\tAlderman MeManamy, who has brought the action to annul it, sat at the Council Board when it was being discussed and during its adoption.Did he attack it on the grounds upon which he has now based bis action, and was he over ruled 'in his protests in this direction ?If he did not do this and if his present action is well founded, is he less free from criticism than bis colleagues whose action he attacks ?Did Alderman McManamy, prior to the vote, have knowledge which convinced him that the by-law was illegal ?If so, as an alderman, what was his duty 7 These and other questions the citizens are asking.In the meantime they see public works lagging.They witness a spectacle of almost non-effectiveness on the part of City Council legislation.No action seems to be free from attack in the courts of law.The summer passes.Street and sidewalk improvements are at a standstill.Public funds are frittered away in law costs.This is the dark side, the disgusting view of the situation.There is a brighter and more pleasing aspect.It is this.All that has happened and is happening is forcing into the minds of the people a fixed r?alization of the inefficiency of the present system of civic management.There has not been in the adminis-tion of the City of Sherbrooke any striking evidences of graft such as have aroused to action the people of other cities.It is an open question, however, whether government by graft is the worst form of civic administration.Reprehensible as it is, the city suffering from it usually goes ahead but pays exorbitantly for its progress.Under incapable, nonproductive administration a city\u2019s works are paralyzed, the movement in public affairs is retrogressive and the bills, in excessive interest char ges and court costs accumulate 'just the same.There is a middle course\u2014honest, progressive, public-spirited administration\u2014and this the citizens of Sherbrooke have a right to expect.If Alderman McManamy is serving the people well in his actions at law to annul the work of the majority of the City Council, his colleagues and a number of the city officials should be given the old-fashioned \u201cG.B.\u201d in short order.If Alderman McManamy\u2019s actions at law are not in the interests of a progressive civic administration, which the people want, the city is paying dearly for his continued interest in public affairs.pm ASOUIIH AND DAILV NEWS SPEW MM All INC.PARIS Of II m lOWNSNIPS London Report Says the Visit to C&n&da is Decided Upon.WILL COME OVER ON

methods which are so necessary to success throughout the West, farmers in the more humid districts of the East can often gain valuable suggestions with regard to the proper conservation of moisture.One lession which may he learned is in reference tu.the treat ment of the small grains.The East era farmer usually considers wheat, oats and barley as crops which cannot be cultivated.Consequently no attention is(paid to them from the time they are sown'until they ready to harvest.Not so with up-to-date dry-farmer.He cultivates his grain fields after ¦ every rain from are the ed from the dry-farmer is tile disk- 1 hoards, and i-iiji i.ell if the place will ing of land which is to he ploughed ,lr'r' 1 ult \u2019'Wlllhi T was adjust Ing my mind tr» that phase o£ the proposition anoMn-r woman with a wider rixperiimcn than mlno piped un that she had hronaht views of her kitchen.From that min'iru I was out of it.so lar ns that, partlcnhlr cook was concerned.The picture rnef.with her approval.-nd the other woman , ,,\t.\t,,, \u201e 1 hired her on the spot, f asked the mah- llttle ruin falls after that tune.Klnce nicer if it was the custom, for housekeepers to produce views of their home when iiirliiK servants, 'The custom Is not.yet universal,\u2019 he said, 'but.It is srowiriif In one rt nse the Kiri Is right, ;

Conversation, like the art of letterwriting, is no longer cultivated generally.For the decline the telephone and th« telegraph are to blame.But there are many other contributing causes for.the unpopularity of real conversation.For the last dozen years a few public men seem to have monopolized the talking.Instead of making up its mind for itself and expressing its opinions with its former independence and vigor the public appears to be willing to let that important task be performed by proxy.There was a time, too, when people rams, , In addition to the remaining In condition to plough for a much long er period, land which has been dis .ko.d is much less inclined to break the time they are well started in'the ; ^ in\tand lumps than imdisked lh.,t' spring until they arc too.high to a!

ernments included in the conference, j which embraces countries so small as | Montenegro and Hayti, has the right ; to submit one paper on each of about [ nineteen subjects connected with road ! problems, and the mass of pamphlets thus produced is circulated by the English Road Board in English, French and German among the various States as matter for deliberation at next year\u2019s congress.The usual practice is for each Government to appoint a committee of experts to consider the questions that thus arise and formulate views about t.kem.The delegates sent to England to submit these views will number about 3,000.The maving of roads, dust-preventative methods, the efiects of different kinds of traffic on surfaces, tlm lighting of roade, the direction of traffic, and the standardization of road signs are all noints that will come up for discussion.Editor Record, Sir:\u2014The project of building a mem-I orial to the late Rev.T.S.Chapman will surely be a popular move throughout the Eastern Townships and a subscription list of the same nature as that inaugurated at the time of the late John McIntosh mem-' orial should ,be resorted to, and there is no doubt that a good sum would soon be collected so to ensure the .erection of a monument worthy of the good \u201coid weather prophet\u201d from Uarbleton.However, I will respect-fuliy submit a suggestion and it is, let us not repeat the mistake made in tbe case of the late John Mcln-torh in hating a monument erected to the memory of a public man, by public funds, located in a \u201csemi private\u201d cemetery.There are several ; places in or near the pretty village of Marbleton suitable for such monument to the memory of a man who has devoted his whole life, not only to the care of the souls left under his charge but also to several public enterprises of importance.I can remember the active part the la;:e Mr.Chapman took in putting through the vote of the municipal , council oi Dudswell for the fifty thousand dollar grant which the Town-.ship of Dudswell made to the Quebec Central Railway in the seventys and it was he who succeeded in getting every St.Camille voter who had also votes in Dudswell, to go to the poll and register their votes in favor of the bonus, and it was striking to realize how much the \u201cCure Chapman,\u201d as they called him, was popular among the French settlers.His memorial will be a suitable addition to the centenary monument of the first settler of Dudswell, the late John Bishoo,\u2019 which now adorns the center of the cross roads near Bishops Crossing.Y'ours truly, A.C.MIQUELON.Danville, July 29, 1912.A USE FOR OLD PIANOS, (Harper\u2019s Weekly) A Labrador tribe, it is said, made the barrels stolen from a wrecked whaler serve as chimney-tops; the Wesc Indians utilized Timothy Dexter\u2019s, warming pans for sugar ladles and the shans f nd no worse use for English beer bottles than to stick them up as household gods to keep awa-v ev;l spirits.But the drollest instance of converted usage occurred when that adventurous Frenchman, De Tonnant, while in Patagonia, gave an oid chief a worn out grand piano which he had bought for eighty francs.A few days after making this gen-ero'-.s present, De Tonnant went one rooming to -pay an early visit to the Patagonian.He found him sleeping peacefully with his wife inside the piano, from which he had carefully removed sounding board, strings, etc, and which thus transformed constituted a not uncomfortable bedstead.WST MME C.F.OLIVIER\u2019S Thursday, August 1st, the Boston Store ushers in its Semi-Annual Clearance Sale\u2014That great selling event now famous in Sherbrooke and vicinity-that occasion which every shrewd shopper looks forward to.It is not a sudden inspiration, reliable, trustworthy merchandise as cheap as we do.Remember that all goods are reduced.io It is a regular twice-a=year feature of this store and signifies that we challenge anybody to sell Discounts ranging from Your opportunity to save money.Everything sold at reduction, Positively no reserve Here are a few of the many bargains offered.Note the reduction.Quantities in some lines are limited.Wash Goods at Clearing Prices Fine White Muslin, checked and striped dcHignK, very .special a* 1
