The British Disaster, CAPTURE OF A FORT BY LIEUTENANT GRANT. 800 "Manipuris Put io Flight.—Feared General Attack on the English Force. SIMLA, Saturday (Reuter). — News^ has reached the Government that Lieut. (Jrant, advancing fromTamouli with nlPn of the 12th Burmah Kegiment, captured a fort within ten miles of Manipur, probably Fort Thabat, on March 31, a full week after the capture of the British Residency at Manipur. The fort was held by 800 Manipuris, and was carried by assault by the small British force. The troops are being pushed forward rapidly to the aid of Lieutenant Grant, as it is feared that the fort will be attacked by the Manipuri troops in full force. Re-inforcements for Grant. liANGOON, Saturday, 12.30 P.M. (Reuter). Kative travellers who have arrived at Tumma from Manipur bring an otherwise uncon- firmed report that Mr, Quinton and his party were killed on the day of the outbreak at Manipur.

Another Deluge. Houses Swept Away ani the Country Made Desotate-40,000 Lives En- dangered. LIMA, PERU, Saturday (Dalziel).—Heavy rains have fallen here continuously for three days, and news of disastrous results is coming from the surrounding country. St. Mary's Reservoir is overflowed, and its banks soon crumbled and let out the full volume of its water. The flood rushed down the hill sides with resistless force, making vast lakes of the lowlands in the two adjoin- ing counties. Dozens of small houses which stood in the way of the torrent were des- troyed, and twenty oil wells in full operation were submerged, and had to be hastily aban- doned. The loss is estimated at 100,000dols. The town of Cellina, which has a population numbering 40,000 souls, is in imminent danger of destruction. It is threatened by a surcharged reservoir nine miles long, three .mile wide, and 15ft. deep. This is likely to follow St. Mary's Reservoir at any minute; in £ aet only the speedy cessation of the down- pour of rain, of which there is no sign, can save it. [ The Tables Turned. A Councillor's Attempt to Ruin His Mis- tress.—Sensational Developments- ORLEANS, Saturday (Dalziel).—There is much excitement here over a scandal which bids fair to equal the late Fouroux affair in sensational details. It concerns a municipal councillor and Monarchist of the city named Barreau and his late mistress. Barreau, besides being a prominent man in connection with public affairs, is a manufacturer on a large scale, and possessed of considerable wealth. His mistress, whom he discarded some time ago, accused him of having compelled her to undergo on several occasions certain dangerous operations of a criminal character. 31. Barreau, on his part, alleges that the woman simply wanted to blackmail him. He brought a charge against her to that effect, and she was arrested. A friend of the discarded mistress, who ap- peared as a witness when the case came before the court yesterday, fnlly confirmed the state- ment of prisoner. in consequence of the statements which this witness made, the apartments of M. Barreau were searched, with the result that the instruments with which the alleged criminal operations were performed Were found and brought into court. The sen- sation which followed upon their production can be better conceived than described. An instant order was issued for Barreau's arrest, and he was last night lodged in gaol. NEW ORLEANS OUTRAGES. Italians Cry and Seek for Vengeance. frains Wrecked, Stores B:own Up.— Threatened Revolt and Capture of Pittsburg. NEW YORK, Saturday (Reuter).—Gabarrio, the leader of 350 Italians employed near Newcastle, Pennsylvania, says that he has been approached by an Italian from Pittsburg, who wanted him to join a company of their countrymen at New Orleans The stranger assured him that 20,000 adherents could be mustered at Pittsburg in five hours, and that they could take the city without much trouble. He added that the movement was spreading over the State. The man left for Carbon to stir UD the Italians at that place. A dispatch from Wheeling, West Virginia, states that 2,000 Italians are drilling near Moundsville, with the intention of going to New Orleans. Several attempts to wreck trains have been made in West Virginia, and are attributed to Italians. A depot and store at the Constitu- tion have been blown up with dynamite, and this outrage is also thought to be due to the Italian aesire for vengeance. He Denies the Charge of Bribery. NEW ORLEANS, Saturday {Reuter).—In an interview with a press representative, Detec- tive O'Malley, who is charged with bribing the jury m the Ilennessy murder trial, denied rhat he was guiity. lie declared that the 'men who weie lynched were innocent, and that the people made a great mistake, for which they should apologise to the widows and orphans of the victims. The committee leaders held a conference yesterday, at which it was decided that O'Malley should not be molested, and that the law in his case should be allowed to take its course. A MADMAN'S CRIME. Hacks H s Mother to Pieces and Cuts His Own T) roat. BLOOMINGTON, Saturday {Dahiel).—A ghastly tragedy took place here yesterday, the perpetrator and second victim being evidently temporarily insane. Ward IJemaru, aged 25. hitherto a peaceable and sober man, Jiving at home with his recently-widowed mother and baby sister, murdered the former by hacking her almost to pieces with a huge carving-knife. Then he cut bis own throat, Rising so much force that the weapon had its edge turned by contact with his spine. While this terrible scene was being enacted the little ■child sat helplessly by, but.singularly enough, escaped the madman's murderous fury. She ]8 too young to be able to describe what to :1. I I'lace, though—saving* the rehearsal of the conversation, if any, between the matricide and his victim—the scene was vividly de- picted to the neighbours who broke into the •bouse when the inmates were missed from their usual outdoor occupations. The double tuneral will take place to-morrow. The mur- dered woman was much respected. His Head B!own Off. Terrible Duel in Arkansas Store. ^IAYNARD, ARKANSAS, Saturday (Dalziel). shocking affair took place here yesterday, ^suiting in the death of one man and the 1!erjous wouading of another. Thomas Kirby, I who was a member of the Stats Legislature in 1889, and Milton Ormby, who is also a prominent citizen, bad an old feud, which they resolved to settle by means of a duel with shot guus, on the first occasion of their happening to meet. They met in a store by accident yesterday, and both of them at once fired, taking deliberate aim at each other. The result was that Kirby's head was literally blown off. Ormby, on his part, was more fortunate, although he too was seriously wounded. 1 he affair has caused the greatest excitement in the town and neighbourhood. 11 Murdered in Cold Blood. Shocking Death of a British Subject. PANAMA, Saturday {Dalziel).—The Deme- rara Argosy reports the murder of a British subject by the Venezuelan police. The out- rage is supposed to be the outgrowth of the boundary dispute. The name of the mur- dered man is William Campbell. He was a British grant holder on the Paver Barima, in British Guiana, and was arrested on the 8th of February while visiting an Knglishman named Names, living on the Venezuelan side of the Amacroroo Hiver. Campbell off-red no resistance; he merely asked leave to travel by his own con- veyance. The sergeant of the Venezuelan police, however, ordered one of his men to siioot him. He did so, and the shot struck Campbell and shattered his right hand. The inspector of police sent Campbell to the Venezuelan governor of the province of Orinoco. The Governor caused him to be taken back to Amacroroo, where he was at once liberated without so much as a charge being made against him. Campbell then entered the hospital, and died on the 16th of March. Mr. Anson, the dis- trict magistrate, held an inquest on the body of the murdered man on the following day, and the jury found a verdict of Murder against the sergeant and the private of the Venezuelan police. The Diplomatic Rupture. Considering the Question of Indemnity. WASHINGTON, Saturday {Reuter).—It is said that President Harrison and his advisers are much gratified at the tone of the Marquis di Kudini's latest message, which was con- sidered at yesterday's Cabinfet Council. They are inclined to think It indicates a settlement of the diplomatic quarrel. If the Govern- ment considers the question of pecuniary indemnity the inquiry will no doubt be made into the character of the alleged Italian sub- jects killed at New Orleans. Should it be found that they left their country for their country's good the Federal authorities will hardly consent to compensate their families, Salvationists Agitated. BUENOS AYRES, Friday (Reuter).—The Chief of the Police of this city has issued an order closing the Salvation Army halls, on the ground that the organisation is not a recognised Church. The Salvationists regard this piea as untenable and without precedent, and have appealed to the Minister of the Interior in the matter. Should no satisfac- tion be obtained in that quarter the Salva- tionists will approach the President. They are resolved to fight the question out on the ground of religious liberty. Pennsylvania Riots.- MOUNT PLEASANT, Saturday (Dalziel).— The excitement over the fatal rioting is rising again," and it is feared that trouble will occur on the occasion of the funerals, which take place to-day. The strikers are arranging a great demonstration, which wdl include orations in the native tongue of each of the dead men, to be delivered at the graves of the so-called martyrs.

DR, GRATTAN GUINNESS IN CARDIFF.
DR, GRATTAN GUINNESS IN CARDIFF. In the Koath-roadWesleyan Chapel on Friday night Dr. Grattan Guinness. of London, delivered an ad- dress on The Great Congo Country." Mr. J. Cory, J.P., presided over a large audience. Dr. Guinness, whose style of lecturing was ex>rdinely lucid and interesting, commenced by advening to the mis- sional y revival now mmiifest among religious communities—a revival which was waking up a i-pirit of world-wide evangelism. Still, they needed to be reminded that there weie 875,000,000 heathens in the world, or two-thirds of humanity in spiritual darkness He desired to plead for one-third of heathendom in the great Continent of Africa. The lecturer proceeded to givd his auditors tome idea of the size of Africa, mentioning that, it was 1,000 miles across Cup^ Colony, that the whole of Africa covered one-quarter of the land surface of the world, and that altogether 600 languages w< ra spoken. With regard to the Congo, Dr. Guinness mentioned that its mouth was discovertid 400 yeir*a<jo hy the Portuguese, who went up for 100 miles and were then stopped by cataracts. The volume of the river was four times that of the Mississippi, and sent, a current 300 miles out into the At!antic. The lecturer gave a rapid sketch of Stanley's journey across Africa—a journey of 7,000 miles, which took three years to accomplished—but. deplored the great loss of life that attended his discovery. He concluded by stating he knew no more hopeful field for missionary labour than the Congo country. The population wns vast, the country was so accessible, the lmguage waseasity learned, and the climate was comp iratively healthy. Pleading for the funds of the East Londou Institute for Home and Foreign Missions, he said they were training and supporting 120 in ssiouary students of all denomi- nations, and had already twenty missionarips on the Congo station. Every week they sent out one mi^ioiiiiry to s mw part of the world, and, therefore, they required all the assistance thai, could be given.—A collection was made at the close.

A FIGHT WITH PIRATES.
A FIGHT WITH PIRATES. Exciting Encounter in Chinese Seas. A young German seaman belonging to the crew of the German gunboat Wolf has written home a letter containing the account of an encounter with Chinese pirates. The letter, of which a Berlin cor- respondent gives the following extract, is dated Hong Kong, February 14 :-On the way from Japan to China we approached some small islands, and a boat was lowered in order to land. The crew of the boat soon discovered behind one of the is- lands a vessel, whie h they believed to be manned with pirates, and they immediately turned back. A high sea, however was running at the time, and it was very stormy. The b at capsized and ten men and the oftk-er in command were struggling with the waves. Of these only seven were saved, and a lifeboat was lowered to try to pick up those who were missing. Evening came and the lifeboat did not return, and it was sur- mised that she had fallen into the hands of the pirates. The first cutter, manned by one officer and fourteen seamen (of whom I was one), each supplied with sixty ball cart- ridges, was then sent in search. We also carried one gun and provisions for six days. When, at four in the morning,we espied the Chinese junk, we made for her, and when close up saw our missing boat, on board. The gun and rifles were loaded, and the German flag hois ed. But the piiates aid not stand their ground, and tried to escape. The cutter fired immediately, the first shot smashing the deck of the junk. The enemy then became bewildered, and after a hard struggle we succeeded in gaining the deck of the pirate, where a hand-to-hand fight took place. Thirteen pirates were killed, and all the rest taken prisoners. The junk was searched, and down in the stowage we found our lost comrades, bound hand and foot. Both they and our prisoners were then carried in triumph on board the Wolf.

Kleinert, although well to do, had become possessed by the hallucina- tion that he wns ruined. To save himstlf and family from misery, as he thought, he tore down the gas-pipes in the bedrooms while his wife and children were asieep, intending to kill them by suffocation. The wife awoke owing to the noise made by her husband, who thereupon shot her, afterwa'ds shooting himself dead. The eldest son, aged 26, was suffocated by the gas, and the remaining children were more or less seriously in- jured.

THE GREAT STRIKE LEADER CHARGED j WITH RIOT AND ASSAULT. o- j Mr. ForrestFutton Tsl set the Seamen's j Processions snd Tneir Doings.-How They Treated Blacklegs. — Strong Evidence Against the Prisoner. At Cardiff Quarter Sessions to-day (before Mr. B. F. Williams, Q.C., Recorder) Mr. Joseph Have- lock Wilson (on bail) was charged with that he together with other persons to the number of twenty or more, unlawfully and riotously did I assemble to disturb the public peace, and then did make a great riot and disturbance, to the terror of her Mai? sty's subjects there being,andthen and there unlawfully did assault and teat one Harry Nel- son, at Cardiff, on the 16th of February, 1891. Mr. Forrest Fulton, M.P., and Mr. Arihur Lewis (in- Forrest Fulton, M.P., and Mr. Arihur Lewis (in- j structed by Mr. T. H. Belcher) appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Abel Thomas. M.P. (In- struced by Mr. J. H. Jones) and Mr. Allen Upward for the deiendant. Opening the Case. Mr. Forrest Fullon, M.P., in opening the case. said he, with Mr. Arthur Lewis, appeared on behalf of the police authorities of Caroiff to con- duct the C'ise against, the defendant, who was charged with unlawfully assembling on Monday, the 16th of February last, under circumstances which he would proceed to expltin. In the first pi ice, he would explain what unlawful assembly via, and what the jury would have to be satisfied of before they could arrive at a proper conclusion. They would have to be satisfied that there was an assembly of more than three persons. About that there would be no dispute, for the evidence would show that several hundred persons were present, and that they paraded the streets upon the date of the alleged offence. It would also be necessary that the jury should be satisfied that the defendant formed one of that body of persons. Whether the assembly was in its inception lawful or unlawful was quite immaterial. Although originally the assembly might have been for a per- fectly lawful purpose, if those taking part in it conducted themselves in a tumultuous and violent and disorderly manner, and in such a. way as to excite in the minds of reasonable persons of ordinary firmness and ordinary courage a feeiing of fear and terror—if the character of the proceedings was such as to cause the result he had foreshadowed, although, in the first place,the assembly was perfectly lawtul, that latter fact would be merely incidental, and tbo<e taking part in it would have been gui,ty of unlawful assembly. There was no doubt that working men for a number of years po sessed the right of combination. From the time when Lord Liverpo.il was Prime Minister and the numberless statutes design d to prevent combination on the part of work- ing men had been swept away, trades unions had grown, and had been of very great benefit. In 1875 the law was further con- sidered, and the Conspiracy and Protection of Property Act, was p is^ej, which defined how per- sons might combine. At the time when the offence alleged against the defendant took place there was a combination of the employers in Cardiff. who had tried to get men to fill the places of others who had gone out on stfike.and in dealing with the case the stite of the town must. be taken into considera- tion. On the 15th of February a crisis wasbaing approached, and though the law protected the working classes combining, there was nothing that empowered members of a union to bring undue and improper pressure upon men who did not belong to the union. It would be, indeed, a melancholy thing that, in this land of liberty only those should possess liberty who happened to be mCtllb2rs of a union. As he had siid, the employers proceeded to get men to fill the piacus of men on strike. No doubtlthat was pm<-c:ly proper, and on the other put, if the Seamen's Union could by ordinary and reasonable persuasion have got these people to depa t and not render service to the SLipping Federation, they would no doubt have baen acting within the law. It would be for the jury to consider whether they did so on this occasion. Mr. Fulton then proceeded to detail the circumstances of the case. These men not on strike, he said, had been brought from Shields and Newcastle on Sunday, February 15, and anangementshad been madewith b xirdin "-masters to receive them. There was a great demonstra- tion on the part of the union men—hissing, booing, ana ejaculations of that sort—and it was with difficultv the men were conveyed to the houses prepared for them. It was very important for the defendant and for his union that the men should not be obtainable. He was not a native of the town, but he was the secretary and originator of the union, and had come to the town to organise the strike. If he had acted within the law in dning this he would have been perfectly right. But the defendant seemed to have organise i his men into a semi-mil'tary force of several hundred persons, who peram- bulated the streets, the defendant leing at their Head, and carrying a kind of cane. Tins he used as a sort of bIt on, and or.Jered his men to "halt," "right turn," and "left turn," as if they were on parade. That, no doubt, would have been 41 very useful thing for those who had no other employment, and if they had pet ambulated the streets without resorting to other acts that would have been perfectly lawful, although a troublesome proceed- ing to the people of the town. On the morning after the non-union men had arrived, defendant and his men commenced very early, and, in marching order, proceeded down Bute-road, one of the busiest tuotoughfares in tii9 town. They turned aside through Soph'a-street, Cli' istinu->tr3et, and Maria-straet—sicit streets not in the Iiue of route— and round again to their destination. Thi* was very important in connection with the evidence t. tai, in these streets lived three of the witness! s— Mr. Gill in Sophia-street, Mr. Beer at Chri tina- street, and Mr. Nelson, who lived at Moira-street— and who were boarding masters, lodging in whose houses were men who hud arrived on Sunday, and all noi-union men. The defendant halted his men opposite Gill's house and shouted, "This is another scab house whet e the bl icklegs who came from Netvcastle are." The houses were described as scab-houses," a tno"t objectionable expres-ion, and non-union men were called "black legs." Someone of the crowd said, "We shall wreck your house to-night," and the procession walked up and down in a threatening manner. Mr. Thomas objected to Mr. Fulton dealing with what was said in the crowd.' If his friend was upon a case of riot, and if he was entitled to try the defendant for that, evidence of what other persons in the crowd said was evidence against the defendant. But if it was simply unlawful assembly statements of that kind were not evidence. The indictment in this case was undoubtedly one for riot, for it was taken woril for word from page 957 of Archibalds criminal cases, and from under the heading "In- dictment for riot and tumult." Riot and tumult was one thing, and unlawful assembly another and he (Mr. Thomas) had been very much snr- prised to find the indictment was not for unlawful assembly, but for riot. And as the defendant had not been committed for riot, he (Mr. Thomas) might as well take the objection at this stage as anywhere else. Mr. Fulton said if Mr. Thomas desired he was ready that the defendant should be tried for riot. If he understood aright Mr. Thomas took objec- tion to his opening as to the indictment. Mr. Thomas was not entitled to take objection to the indictment. Mr. Thomas's objection seemed to be that, lie (Mr. Fulton) was not at liberty to prove in evidence the declarations of the crowd. I Mr. Thomas: Pardon me, you have opened a case of unlawful assembly. Mr. Fulton: If you wait I was going to say it would be perfectly immaterial whether it was un- lawful nssembly or not. The Recorder said he thought it would be best for Mr. Fulton to open his case, and when the evidence came he (the Recorder) would decide whether it was admissible or not. Mr. Fulton, proceeding, said So alarming was the crowd that a man named Thompson put up his shutters. The crowd remained outside Gili's house about half an hour, and some of them rushed into the house and called out they wanted the men from Shields. Therj was yelling, hooting, and calling of the men "blacklegs," and of the house a scab-hou»e." The crowd then went in to Beer's house, getting tiitre about ten o'clock in the morning. About twenty of the men forced their way in there, and here it mu -t bd remem- bered that if an unlawful assembly proceeded to oveit acts, then that assembly became a riot. And it seemed to him there was abundant evidence of riot. The crowd then went, to Maria- street and acted in the same way, the crowd yelling, and Wilson saying, Halt, face; there is a scab houEle, we will wreck it; we must have the blacklegs out." That, was a thing Mr. Thomas would not justify even if he could. So serious was the behaviour that Mrs. Nelson WitS prematurely con- I fined. The evidence as to P-A this had not, been .J I giveu before the magistrates, but notice had been I given to the defendant that it would be called. No doubt it would have been better that that evidence should have come before the stipendiiry, but there was, however, sreat pressure upon ftis time. There was a prima facie case, and the stipendiary intimated that there was sufficient, evidence as far as the prosecution was concerned, and that, it wotili be his dutv to commit the defendant. Passiug on, Mr. Fulton siid the crowd had gone on to 177 Bute-road, which was occupied by another board- irg'-in.is'er, named Anderson. Wilson led them, and culled nut," This is a blackleg house we will mark it, that, it will be wrecked to-night; theie wi l ba blood tht re," He then proceeded to call I evidence. The Head-Constable's Evidence. Head-constable McKenzie, examined by Mr. A. Lewis, s iicl about half-pas- ten on the night of Sunday, the 15th of February, he was outside the Great. Western Hotel, when a number of sailors arrived trom the North. There were a number of carts ready to receive them. Mr. Thomas objected to what took place on the previous day it was not admissible. Mr. Fulton said it had been decided by the case of the Queen v. Graham and Burns, reported in the Times Law Reports. Mr. Thomas COni ended that in that case there was a connection between the two assemblages, but there was nothing of the kind shown here. The Recorder decided to admit the evidence. Mr. McKenzie said there wis a large assembly outside of seafaring men—probably 200 or 300— almost, wholly of men out on strike. When the I I Head-Constable Mackenzie. I men who arrived by train came outside the slation, and about ten of them had got into a c-irt, and the cart was about to start, some of the strikers shouted, "Come with us." Mr. Thomas urged that thnt was an exclama- tion made at the back of the witness, and he objected. It was, however, admitted. Mr. McKenzie saw some of the crowd lake hold of some of the men in the cans and attempt to pull them out. OnM or two wera pulled out. As the carts were driven away the crowij followed, hoot- ing and yelling, with a great deal of violence. Under Cross-examination, Crosvexamined Some of the men in the carts showed union tickets and jumped out of the cans and joined the crowd. Did not hear them say they were union men, but heard them a^k the crowd, Will you give us lodgings ?" About, ten came out of the fiist cart; he saw only those. For some little time before that till re had been daily proces- sions through Cardiff, and twice he accompanied them part of the way. He did not thiuk he did at all before-the 15ih. They were every rooming, and sometimes in the afternoon. Some of his men accompanied the processions before this to see that there was nothing wrong done. He knew the processiors picked up union men and took them to the Colonial-hall, and sometimes marched from the Colonial-hall. So far as he and his men knew he took no steps to pi event these processions. He did not know tnat the tendency was to keep union men out of mischief; he knew there were entertainments at the hall. The pro- cessions generally were not riotous proceedings; the police endeavoured to prevent that by accom- panying them, but did not ulways succeed as this case showed. Mr. Thomas said that was judging trom the evidence, which was for tile jury. Witness said Mr. Wilson sometimes aided him both by keeping order and, on one oceision, by helping to yet a man to the station. He did nuf, know that he had complimented him on that, but he did once tell him or Mr. Mann that he was glad their men ciJ not interfere with the trams. I The Re-examination. Re-examined by Mr. Fulton On the 5th of February he applied to the deputy-mayor for aduiiional police, and they came, anu were quar- tered upon the town until the termination of the I strike. Mr. Thomas asked whether the requisition was not on account of the tramway strike ? Witness Certainly not. Superintendent Tamblyn in the Box. Superintendent Tamblyn said he was on duty at the Great, Western Railway Station on the 15th of Fearuary. He first saw the crowd outside of Gill's house in Sophia-street, and followed them until they came to the Colonial-hall. He believed he Stw Gill, Beer, Anderson, and Nelson at the station. He saw sjveralboarding-masters,but was not positive astoNelsou. Between nine and ten in the morning lie saw a number of sailor.? outside the Union Home. Saw Wilson lea.ling the crowd, which was marching fonr or five deep, carrying fligs. When they got to the Shipping Office they slackened pace slightly and commenced hissing and groining. They then passed round the Iront of the dockmasterli office, and again slnckened pice nud commenced shouting, hoo ing, and gioining. They icturned into Uute-street, and back through James-street. Wilson was leading the crowd that morning, and he heArd him call out at the coiner of West Buie-street, "Fall in, men I know you are union men by the look of you." (Laughter). Superintendent Tamblyn. I
Testing His Statements.
Testing His Statements. Cross-examined He saw men in the caiti out- side the station jump out. He thought all in the fiist cart jumped out, and some of the other*. The crowd was a procession, which wa< disorderly. They behaved in a disorderly manner for several days. The crowd, or procession, was followed by police. They did net take any other steps. He brought, ths matter under the notice of his. chief, and aft er that he acted under instructions. He did not follow them, but. met the procession at various points. He wroe out his proof at the police-station, and he might have written, Now, union men, tail into toe ranks. He did not see the difference, but Wilson was in the habit of casing out such words. A Householder Gives Evidenoe. William Foam, outfitter, Bute-ro id, was the next witness. He said he was standing at his door when he saw the procession come up and stop opposits Gill's boarding-house, 1, Sophia-street. Wilson cried, "Half-faee. Tins is No. 1 blacklegs. This is where the blacklegs is." He then called for volunteers—" I Want volunteers to gt-t these men out of this house." Six oc seven men rushed out. of the house into the passage. The door was open, and the men called out, Cjme out here, men join the union don't be scabs." Everyone in the house and the pafSige seemed terrified. Witness was in the pHS- sage. There were young servant, girls there, several men, and Mr. Gill. Witness followed them bt-cause he did not know whether they were going to the stables or not, as he had found pickets trying to get in there betore. Mr. Gill asked them what they wanted, and they replied" We want those men's clothes." The men had made a rush to join the piocession. Could not be on his oath that Wilson entered the house. They remained there ten or fifteen minute". The noi?e was something exces- sive. He thought there were, 250 to 300 men out- side Gill's house. He (ihe witness) went and called the police. Thay formed again, Wilson heading them, into Christina-street, and siopped at Beer's boarding-house. Wiison gave the word "Halt"ag)tin. "RIght face. This is No. 2, blacklegs." At that time witness had the police with him—one policeman, 309. Wilson again called for volunteers to get the blacklegs out. Mr. Wilson then stood close to the door, on the step on the pavement. Six or seven men rushed inside and jeered and cheered, I said, 11 Men; you call, yourselves Englishmen. Is this the way you enter a. man's private dwelling house ? Mr. Wilson, ao you call this the way your on a strike ? Suppose that man's wife and children were in bed themselves, what right have you to enter an Englishman's cast e." He did not answer. None of the men came out from Beer's, and the people in the procession said, Give us their clothes." They did net get any. Captain Beer said, Go to Cf-ptain Minto; we know nothing about any clothes." They made a second rush into the house. He then said, 11 Give iiie a llitxe atid I will soon clear the louse." The crowd then went on. He Was an Unwilling Witness. Cross-examined He was not a friend of Mr. Beer or Mr. Gill, only a 14 casual neighbour." He had been asked seven or eight time? to come and give evidence, but did not do so until he had a subpoena. He came to give his evidence first on the 1st of April. Mr. Thomas So I should think. (Laughter), i lu the cours.' of a lengthy cross-examination, the witness said Wilson did his best to enter both the hous>'S of Gill and Beer. Mr. Thomas What stopped him? Witness: His conscience, ptrhaps. (Laughter.) He then explained that a man who marshalled men outside ana ordered others to enter a house was quite capable of entering himself. Boarding-master Gill's Testimony. William GiH, boarding-muster, of 1, Sophia.s' reet, who was next, called, said about 9.30 on the morn- ing of the 16th of February he iuard hooting q,nd shouting on the part of the processionists. Five or six of them ran into his house. Tllev were talking about some clothes, and asked the other men in the house to join the union. He told his boarders not t.o gn. Eventually the men went. Cro- s-exami.'ieii: Neit her he nor his lodgers were physically molested. Three of the men who had got into his cart, at the station on the Sunday night bolted. He could not swear that it was not these men who came into his house on the Mon- day morning and asked for their clothes. They were not in his house more than a couple of minutes. He did not. see the witness Foam in the passage. Mr. Thomas: Is it untrue that they forced the three men out of your house ?—Witness: I cannot say. But, if you were ill the passage'you would have seen r-There was excitement at the time, and I cannot say. If Wilson succeeds with his union your business will be gone ?—Well, he is trying to ao that. But if he succeeds that will be the result ?— Yes. Already he has a home for 150 sailors, and is trying to get a home for 600 more r-I cannot say it is so in the newspapers. What Mr. Beer Saw. Emmanuel Beer, boarJing-master, of 5, Christina- street, said he had taken five of the men who came from the. North. This was all Sunday, February 15. About 10.30 on Monday he heard shouting in the street. He called his lodgers from the front door and put them in the sitting-room. Some of the processionists made a rush into the house and tskedfortheirciothes. They filled the passage right up. They asked "where are those men who came down from Shields a'ong with us." They asked witness to let them go into the room I to get the men out and to go to the station to get their clothes. Witness held the handle of the door, and refused to let them go in. Witness replied that he did not know where the clothes were. Witness then said there was something he hadn't put in his evidence. The whole of the passage had been blocked up, and he had been pushed about a bit. Then he saw Foam and a policeman, and they cleared the passage. Mr. Fulton: Were you frightened P—Witness: Ko, sir, I was not. The Recorder: Did they get any of your men out? Witness: No fear. (Laughter.) ltoldUpem I if they did not go out by fair means they slrould by foul. Cross-examined: The whole thing only lasted about, five minutes. He did not see Wilson at all. } He had seen him once, and had strong ronson to remember him. Could not say how many men were in the passage, but should say there were tweniy. Mr. Thomas But even you could not turn twenty men out ?—Witness I could have a good try at it, anyhow. (Laughter.) The Recorder He could not do more than try. Mr. Thomas It would be like knocking your head against a stone wall, wouldn't it 'i—In your own house you can do a lot. Did they get into the room ?—It would have been a bau job for them if they had. Thtre were two Greeks, two Italians, ana a Turk—(laughter) —and they were prepared. They had sharpened their knives the night before. The court then adjourned for luncheon. Length of the Trial, On resuming, the Recorder asked Mr. Fulton how many more wi;nes*es he had to call. If there was a likelihood of the case lasting all day he would give leave to jurymen not engaged in the case to go awuy for tile day. Mr. Fulton said he had at least ten or eleven witnesses more to call. Mr. Thomas said he had a large number of wit- nesses to call, and he had not the slightest doubt that if the case was to be concluded that day they would have to sit till midnight. The Recorder s lid if there was a possibility of finishing the case, say by eight o'clock, he would sit. But, if not:, they might adjourn at a reasonable time. He thought if they sat longer than from 10.30 to six they could hardly pay the attention to the case that such an important matter demanded. The jury agreed. One More Boarding-Master Called. Henry Nelson, another boarding-house keeper, said he had taken three men of the batch that had' arrived on the Sunday. On the Monday morning he heard a bagpipe playing. Looking out of the window he saw the procession, and Wilson carry- ing "a great big stick" in his hand at their head. There was a. crowd of about 200 with him. Wilson halted the crowd and said "This is another scab-house he has got some blacklegs here we will wreck the house to-night." Theciowd.stayed about, fifteen minutes, and defendant left about twenty men to watch the house. Witness was in the buck kitchen, and stayed there till the crowd had gone. His wife had been prematurely con- fined. Mr. Thomas objected that this was not evidence against the prisoner. The Recorder said it was a fact, and was admis- sible. The suggestion was that, the premature confinement had been caused by the crowd. The value cf the suggestion remained to be seen. Win ess cross-examined: His wife had been con- fine j three weeks ago, but she had been bad ever since the morning in question. He knew Mr. Wilson. Mr. Thomas: And I suppose you have a personal di-like to him ?—Witness Well, I suppose be has a p 1',onal dislike to me. And you reciprocate the feeling ?—No, not par- ticularly. Upon your oath you will swear that Wilson in a public street said he would wreck your house ?—I do. Are not these words wholly imaginnry ?—If you toll me what imaginary is I will teilyou. He said the words. Continuing the cross-examination, Mr. Thomas elicited from witness that he heard these words in his front room. Both door and window wereshut. Should think the words could have been heard by anyone in the street. Someone had tiied to wreck his house. Has a pane of your glass been broken or your house scratched ?—No. Continuing, he said he saw two men in his shed, and there were 50 more inside. This was two o'clock in the morning after Wilson was there. Mrs. Nelson, wife ottha last witness, WHS then called. Mr. Abel Thomas said his side had not yet had a copy of this witnesses' evidence. The Recorder said he thought in fairness, a copy mould have been furnished. He could not s'y more. Mr. Fulton said an intfmation had been given that Mrs. Nelson would be called to corroborate her husband's evidence. In self-defence he must say that in his opening he had espressad the wish that the stipendiary had heard the evidence. The Recorder said when a magistrate saw that a primafacie case had been made out, and that he must commit, he not unfrequently said, "It is no usemypoing any further into this." He (the recordei) iwagined what had been done in this case. Mrs. Nelson then proceeded to corroborate her husband's evidence. Her house was picketted by defendant all day. She had been in the hands of the doctor ever since and had been prematurely confined. Another Effect of the Disturbance. Andrew Thompson, boarding-muster and out- fitter, 173, Bute-road, who had taken some of the Shields men iuto his house, gave evidence. His house was entered by some men and two of the imported hands taken away. Be was told by someone in the crowd We'll give you blacklegs to-night." The name on witness's si^n was taken down on a piece of paper. After the crowd got away he nai'ed up his shutters. When he went upst'iirs he found his wife lying in a fit. She was unconscious for three-quarters of an hour. She had not been well ever since, and was still keep- ing her bid. Cross-examined: Now she was suffering from the effect of a cold. No doctor had attended her up to this last illness. For continuation see next edition,

SPORTING CHAT.
SPORTING CHAT. Jonathan O'Brien, the Welshman who recently defeated Ed. White for a purse of -P.100 at tha Pelican Club, will contend for a similar amount with Alf. Ball, of D.-piford, on Derby night, at the same club. It is reported at Newmarket, that Lord Durham's clnssic candidate Peter Flower will fulfil an engagement in the Thirty-third Newmarket Bien- nial Stakes, to be decided on the first day of the Craven Meeting. Prince Soltykoff would seem to be in luck's way, as he followed up liis Lincoln triumph with Lord George by eatily winning tiie Northamptonshire Stakes with Lusignan. I'h form of this four year old was exceedingly moderate. On twelva occasions last year in which he figured in public defeat awaited his efforts, and he only won one nce owing to the simple fact that his solitary oppo- nent was worse than himself. Little Harper made no mist-ike on Lusignan. He limply atoned for knocking down a post and gelling disqualified for second place last yeir, and if Prince Soltykoff d<p >iu:a upon him for the Metropolitan next week lie will take some stop- ping, for he won with a lot of weight in hand. Notwithstanding the run upon "the Abbesse" for the City and Suburban, a shrewd operator has jotted down a wager of JE20 in favour of NUB. 11 tl orpe, so Sherwood may, after all, have two can- didates in the field on Wednesday next.
