DOCK STRIKERS
4.4.*Per..+Plevalb
Refuse to Obey Decision of
Their Leaders,
Made Attempt to Assault
the Committee.
'London, July 28.---T1ie dock strikers
have angrily repudiated the decieion of
the Strike Committee of the Transport
Workers' Federation, issued Saturdav,
declaring the strike at an end, and have
declared for no durrander to tho em-
ployers. At a huge meeting of the strik-
ers at Southwark Park tins afternoon
the men called their leaders over the
corde in rough language, and it was not
until sometlang in the nature of an ex-
planation was given that comparative
calm was establiehed.
The strike leaders, the inembers of
the committee who had ordered the men
back to work, knew long before the
meeting that the action which they
took yesterday would be disapproved,
and went to the park prepared to meet
a pitmen. They knew that men earlier in
the day had torn down copies of the
manifesto of the committee ordering
them back to work, and. had furiously
declared that their leaders had sold
them out. The opening address of Harry
Gosling the strike leader, was hardly
listened to, but when presently he ex-
plained that the manifesto was issued
to give the 311011 nn opportunity of act-
ing as they wished the audience began
to listen to him,
WILL .STARVE FIRST.
"It hae been 'Said," said Mr. Gos-
ling, "that the leaders have been
forcing the men to continue the strike
against their wishes. They now have the
opportunity of declaring whether they
Will resume or not. "Thereupon there
were loud shouts of "no surrender."
When order had been restored Mr.
Gosling recounted the. efforts that had
been made by the Strike Committ last
week to reach a settlement with the
employers. He said he had been asked
to sign a letter to Lord Devonport, the
chairman of the Port Authority.which
was so humiliating to the men that he
absolutely refused to do so. The. Strike
Committee eventually deeided to tell
the men to resume work if they wanted

London, July 20. --The refusal of the
(look workers in London to obey the
Manifeato iddited by the strike leadere
on Saturday, deelaring the strike at an
end, after it had lasted ten weeks, was
given practical effect to -day, when very
few of the men returned to work. It
had been announced that all the agree-
ments between employers and men,
which had existed before the strike be-
gan, would eontinue in force, but ihe
strikers are generally of opinion that
their leaders have betrayed them into
an unconditional surrender, and they
are 'unwilling to agree to such a step.
A new spirit seems to have entered in-
to the men and to -day it wee 'observed
that most of them displayed a much
more ugly temper than hitherto. On
this account an even stronger force of
poliee than usual was stationed at the
dock gates to protect the non-nnionists
Who have continued, at work through-
out the strike. These men appeared in
their usual numbere, and as they en-
tered the gates were regarded sullenly
b -y a large number of the Htrikenci.
The secretary of the. Strikers' Com-
mittee this morning said that the strike:
will probably be reenmed. Several of
the unions involved meet to -day to cbs-
cuss the situation, and it ist expected
that most of them will vote for a con-

Detroit, .July 28.—The pollee Saturday
forced open the safe of Eddie Sehreiter,
secretary of Council Committees, and. se-
cured the papers which constitute the ire•
eriminating evidence in the trial of the
nldermanic graft cases.
Schreiter now claims that he was
merely fooling the. Burns detective, and
was "stringing him along" until the psy-
etiological moment arrived. A. movement
for the commission Dian of government
has already teei aeartea aen. result of
the dieeloaures.

were taken before Police Justice E. J.

mon Council Committees, DOW held, by

for the investigations, the graft expo-

Credit for the determined stand to
clean up the grafters belongs to Mayor
Thompson, who had been. informed. by
the officials of the Wabash Railroad
that they had been trying for sibc years
to develop their terminal facilities, but
had been prevented by the demands for
money made by and in behalf of alder-
men. He was told that in 1909, when
the Wabash wanted to have Seventh
street closed, they were held up by a de-
n -Lend for $0,000 before the Common
Council would act, and therefore with-
drew the request.

him throughout the day. Although
he had been unconscious since dawn

ing showed that he was making a su-

All the Imperial princes, who have
been within the vicinity of the Em-
peror's palace since the beginning of
the serious period of his illness on
July 19, were summoned to the sick
chamber last evening and remaiued
there till late to -day.
They were present at the noon ex-
amination by the court. physicians
who rouna that His Maiesty's pulse
was very feeble. The pulse beats
have increased to 146. The imperial
patient's fingers and toes have turned
to a purple hue. His temperature
waS unchanged.
A further examination at three
o'clock this afternoon showed that
His Majesty's condition was still Im-
o haAnt gteed.
a
o'clock to -night the physi-
cians' bulletin said that the Imperial
patient's temperature' 'lad increased
and that his conditton nod become
more serious.
Prince Sadanaru Pushima, the Em-
peror's cousin, and three or the
other princes. left the palace for a
short rest at six o'clock this evening
but the Crown Prince and most of
the Cabinet Ministers remained in a
room adjoining the sick chamber.
The crowds outside the palace con-
tinued to increase to -day, and num-
bered at least 10,000 persons at 10
o'clock this evening.
The Crown Prince and the Prineeeees
of the imperial family, the inembere of
the Cabinet and couneillors, remained
at the palace throughout the night. The
minieters gathered in a- room adjoining
the sick chamber.
The empress retained her post at the
bedside. Her unremitting vigil coni -
mantis admiration everywhere. Through-
out the night diplomats and officials vis-
ited the palace.
A great multitude of people gathered
in the outside park, praying and crying,
and the noise of their wooden (doge upon
the loose pebbles in the roadways wee
audible within the palace itself.
The manner in which the public have
been taken into confidence by the offi-
cials regarding the Emperor's condition
is an entirely new phasc. and. much ap-
preciated. One of the most prominent
writers and a high authority on the his-
tory of Japan, say e that in 1,500 years
the nation Was never so close to the
Emperor. Nevertheless, the utmost mac
tion must be observed. The former .meth -
oils in the announcement of illness or
death do not apply this time. 'Hence
many foreigners, not appreciating the
fact, have been misled into premature
and unauthorized statements.
There is some imaication of discon-
tent with the attending physicians, who
are charged, with adhering to the old
ennventione surrounding, the person of _
11 tI Majeety, but prominent physicians
outeide the emtrt believe that every-
thing possible has been done since July
19, though poseibly in the earlier stages
of the disease the eourt physicians., who
are of the old school, hesitated to place
too etriet injunetione upon the Emperor.

not to negleet. their business or neces-
sary occupations Of life.

NE TEMERE
No Truth in Report That it
Will be Repealed.
Possibility of Revision of
Some Clauses Later.
Rome, July 28. --The report that the
Pope has repealed the decree "Ne
Temere" is absolutely unfounded, nor
is it likely ever to be revoked, as it
embodies provisions which have gov-
erned the Church procedure for two
centuries. It is probable that the mis-
understanding wilb respect to the re-
peal of the decree arose through the
suspensien or the provision relating to
inarriages In Germany and
Rungary. The other provisions of
the "Ne Temerc," however, are in full
force in thees two countries, while in
the United States and 14,1ng1and, all
the provisions of the decree without
exception are still in force. Thus a
marriage between Catholic and Pro-
testant without the sanction of the
parish priest is null. It is deelared
that possibly the United States and
England may later secure a change in
that provision,
111111 111- - 1 -1
The report that the "Ne Temere"
had been repealed was given publicity
by the Western Watchman, the organ
of the Roman Catholic Church, at St.
Louis, Mo., and the reason assigned
for the alleged repeal was that Minter-
Unt-1 difficulties were encounieeed in
enforcing it and it caused numbers
to leave the Roman Catholic faith.
Ottawa, July 28.—Mgr. Stagni, Pa-
pal Delegate to Canada, stated to-
night through his secretary, Mgr. Sin-
nott, that no notice of the with-
drawal of the "Ne Temere" decree
had come from Rome. He added that
he had had no intimation that such
a course would be taken.

PRIMITIVE WAR
Abor Tribesmen Punished
by British Troops.
Massacred British Officer
and Party in India.
London, July 29.—Tbe official. de-
spatches announcing the seVseessful
conclusion of the 'operations against
the Abor tribesmen on the North-
eastern frontier of India, rendered
necessary by the massacre of Mr.
Williamson, the British Assietant
Political Officer at Sadiya, and his
party, are pnbliehed by the India
Office in last night's Official Gazette.
The most important result of the
expedition has been, as Major -Ceti -
era[ II. C. Bower, the commander et'
the expedition, puts it, that "our
capability to punish evildoers, which
hitherto has not been credited, has
been brought home to the. tribesmen."
It is stated that the principal par-
sons implicated in the -murder of Mr.
Williamson had been punished, and
that a good deal of useful exploration
and survey work has been • accom-
plished, while, relations with remote
6ections of the Abor tribe have been
improved, the demonstration of Brit-
ish power having had a salutary
effect,
The country presented. tremendous
difficul thee wit leh will be realized
from the feet that on one oeeereion
party that lefteeamp soon after day-
light only completed. 4t,h miles by 4

The domination exercised by the
Kebang Rotting group of .villages
has been broken, and those in the in-
terior can now trade with . India,
which they express a great desire to
do, Districts north of the Brahma-
putra, can be recolonized, as there is
nothing to fear from Abor raids.
Major-General Bower, in hie des-
patch to the chief of the General Staff
acknowledging the receipt of orders
for the .demobilization of the force,
stuninitrizes the result of the expedi-
tion as follows:
Previous to the adVallee of the
foree information pointed to the great
probability that we would not only
be opposed by the ..Minyong, but that
several other tribes would coalesce
with those responsible for the mae-
eacre in opposing our advance, arid,
from information obtain afterwards
it appeals that very many villages as-
sisted in the preparation of stockades
and. stone shoote.
It was soon, however, apparent
that tribes who promised their sup-
port to the Minyong had done so un-
der the belief that the punitive force
would be on the small and insufficient
peal° that has been such a marked
feature of former expeditione agaainst
the Abors.
As soon as our strength became
manifest the coalition fell to pieces,
and the guilty villages were left to
fight out their own quarrel with us
alone. This materially reduced the
aetive opposition.
