BURNS THREATENS A SECOND STRIKE
The Agreement with the Dockmen
Can Not Be DIsregarded.
Not Single Case In Court Caused
by the Labor Trouble.
MaiIetoa and Mataafa Awaiting
Final Action by tho Powers.

LONDON, September 16.-Ata meeting at
the Poplar tonight Burns said the treaty
with the workmen had been broken by sub
ordinate officials of the dock companies.
Some Of the wharfngers also had tried to get
men at the old terms but had failed. Unless
the agreement with the men was kept theEo
would be another strike. Sydney Buxton,
member Of Parliament, expressed his belief
that matters would be settled quietly In
few days.
Much III feeling exists between the dock
laborers and the "blaeklegs," the name APP
piled to the mep who took the places OK
strikers, and the former refuse to work with
them. Several encounters have already oc-
CURED between them. Many Of the dock la
borers protest that the leaders Of the strike
had no right to agree to the proposal that the
strikers should work hand In hand with the
"biacklezs." The officials of the dock COM
panies have made strong complaint to the
Lord Mayor against the action OF the re-
turned strikers and he has promised to do bis
utmost to compel the men to live up to the
terms Of their agreement. Meanwhile, the
situation was regarded as being so serious
thata meeting of the Joint Docks Commit
teeth Cancellation Committee and the lead
ers OF the strikers was called TO convene
Immediately at the Mansion House.
A deputation OF shipowners arrived at tho
Mansion House while the meeting was In
progress. Mr.. Burns, one Of the leaders Of
the strikers, spoke concerning the situation
and the causes which led TO IL, and in5tanced
several cases where unreasonable preference
had been given to "blacklegs." 1t was fnal-
ly agreed by all those present at the meet
ing to endeavor to have the agreement kept
intact by all the parties Interested.
At the opening OF the court today, the
recorder. In charging the grand Jury. referred
to the strike in London. He said that.
though great number Of men had been out
Of work for weeks and had suffered great
privations, there was not a single case on
the calender arising from the strike.

CATHOLICS OF The UNITED STATES.
Cardinal Gibbons on a Century's
Growth of the Roman Church.
Major Warner Creates Surprise by
Declining to Succeed Tanner,
The Official Report on the Trial of
the Cruiser Baltimore.

WASHINGTON, September 16.-On the oc-
st. Peters new Catholic church yesterday.
which was attended by elaborate ceremonies
Cardinal Gibbons delivered an address,, in
which he said: about seventy years ago
st. Peters old church was dedicated to Al
mighty God by modest congregation. But
the new church will surpass the old one In
grandeur and magnifce. and indeed, the two
placed in comparison afford us beautiful
and significant type of the progress of the
Catholic religion in the United States. On
the 10th of next month we will celebrate in
the city of Baltimore the one hundredth an
niversary of the establishment Of the hier-
pointment of Bishop Carroll to be the first
bishop of the See of Baltimore. We cannot
review the history of the last century and of
that great event which we are about to COM
memorate, without being filled with profound
gratitude to Almighty God, who has wrought
such great things at the hands of His ser
wants, aid, at the same time, without
grave responsibility to walk in the footsteps
OF our fathers in the faith. When Bishop
Carroll was consecrated in 1890, the whole
United States contained not quite 100000
inhabitants. The Catholic population was
then estimated at about 10000 souls, includ-
ing small but heroic band of missionary
priests, chiefly, If not exclusively, belonging
to the Society of Jesus. Churches there
were none in those days, unless we are to
designate by that title the modest houses of
worship which were erected for the accom-
modation of the faithful. Hospitals there
were none, absolutely none. There was but
one seat OF learning for the Catholic minis
try throughout the length and breadth of
the United States, and that was Georgetown
College, just then founded. Thanks, breth-
rem, to the overruling Providence, and to the
blessings which God has thrown upon our
country, and to the benefcence and inviting
character of our. civil and political institu-
tions. the United States now contains pop
ulatiOn of 65,000,000 of inhabitants, and
thanks also to the fructifying influence of
the Holy Spirit, we can count today Cath
ollc population in the United States of
100000 of inhabitants. We have 5000 cler-
gymen ministering to the faithful, 10000
churches and chapels. We have $50 colleges
and academies for the higher education of
the youth of both sexes, and we have sever
al hundred asylums and hospitals for the
moral, mental and spiritual maintenance of
the youth of both sexes, and for the allevia-
tion of every phase of suffering of mankind.
l rejoice in the growth and progress Of the
Catholic religion. because 1 am convinced
that the growth of the Catholic faith in this
country will, more than any other means,
promote the welfare and stability of our
American institutions"

the stock ledger must be destroyed as the
most damning evidence of guilt and directed
him to take it to his [Iyes'sl house in Brook

witness obeyed implicitly as he had followed
all the other directions of Ives. When he
demonstrated with Ives about any trans
action Ives would tell him: "Ill take care
Of you, don't worry" and he felt satisfied.
