JOHN BRIGHT gives a novel explana-
tion of the riots here. He thinks they
are the o%utgrowth of the protective
system, which enables the workmen of
this country to compete with England
in manufactures. We suppose If we
would do away with that, and put the
wages of our mechanics down still
lower, till they correspond with those
Of English artisans, there would be
happiness and contentment at once.

reason is known for this order Her des-
tination was Havana, the West Indies, and
the Gulf. The Chief Signal Officer says
tonight that esutionary signals had been
displayed at the station In Hampton
Roads forty-eight hours before the Huron
left, and that proper observation ofthese
signals would have prevented the vessel
from running into a terrible gale off the
Hateful Cape Hatteras. II is the expert
ence Of the signal officer that while the
merchant marine of the country has the
greatest confidence in the Danger signals,

indicated by the signal service warnings.
The engines of the Huron were what
are known as the navy compound en-
gines. These engines were especially
favored by Wood, late chief engineer of
the navy. but navy officers say that many
of them break when danger comes. A

engines under the late administration.

Hanged for a Bet

There are not wanting instances of
persons who have hanged themselvea, or
suffered themselves to be hanged, from
motives of curiosity or amusement. \
remarkable case of this latter description
formed the subject some years ago of
one of those many curious Investigations
which have taken place from time to
time at Bow street.
On April Is, 1912, two men were
charged before the magistrates under the
following curious circumstances: A con-
stable who was passing along Hemp
stead road on the previous evening OBJ
served stout man six feet high hanging
by his neck from a lamp-post attached to
a wall, having been tied up and turned
off, Just before by short man. The
officer rushed 70 the spot, and when he
arrived there the handkerchief by which
the tall man was suspended gave way,
and he fell to the ground. His eyes were
piotruding from their sockets, and he
was nearly ''g one" but, on recovering
himself sufficiently to stagger on his legs,
lac Immediately struck the officer so vio-
lieut. blow on the nose IS nearly to
knock him down. Both men were with
difficulty secured, when they explained
that the tall man who was being hanged
was simply paying "debt CT honor
The two had been ''tOssing' IN the
afternoon, first for money, then for
clothes: the tall man having won the
others Jacket, trousers and shoes, they
agreed to toss up which should hang the
other. The short man won the toss, and
forthwith proceeded to hang the tall man
on the lamp-post. The tall man urged
that had he won the toss he would in like
manner have assuredly hanged the short
man; but the magistrates, expressing
their horror and disgust at the whole
story, sentenced both prisoners to find
bail for their good behavior. Not hav-
ing bail they were committed TO Bride
