 Mammoth Demonstrations on the
 Thames Embankment-Fifty Thousand
 Men March to the Mass Mectinc-Amcr-
 loan Sailors Given the Placc of Honor in
 the Procession
 LONDON, Sept 2.-London Is awaiting with breathless anxiety the develop ments of the great strike to-day, when the turning point is expected to be reached. Tremendous pressure has been brought to bear upon the officers of the different trades unions by the leaders of tho men now out to induce them to bring about general strike of all the workingmen in London to-day.
 At noon to-day general stoppage of work had not taken place, but the session. They are close-mouthed and special care has been taken to prevent any hint of their proposed action leak ing out. The men, as rule, are anxious to convey the impression that nothing will be done, and this Is so entirely op posed to the plan usually pursued of loudly boasting in advance how muck will be done that the conclusion ii. naturally drawn that something like u general strike has been decided upon and that the leaders are only anxious not to lose the advantage of a thorough and complete surprise. However, this appears to be puro speculation and to- day may pass without the dreaded sus- pension of all industry.
 The temper of tho men already out is far different than that they displayed a week ago. They no longer allow Burns, their conservative leader, to dictate their policy and already 1t is apparent he will be overruled. The men are grow ing ugly, threats are frequent of bloody work and their passions are further in- famed by the slight rise in the price of provisions which has been the unavoid- able outcome of their own action. The strikers held 0 monster meeting yesterday on the Thames embankment and at it's close marched In procession 50, 900 strong to the meeting at Hyde Park.
 The strikers maintain an undaunted front and profess to be confident of vic- tory and that soon. Three American vessels arrived in the Thames yesterday and the American sailors on board wore | offered three shillings per hour, or six times the pittance for which the strikers are contending, to unload their own vessels. As soon as they understood the situation of affairs they did not ask for moment to mako up their minds but promptly refused to do the work at any price. They were received with loud hurrahs by the strikers and were given tho place of honor in the process sion.
 Over 5000 Coolies, employed by Par. ker Lambert as bnrgemen, have joined the strike
 The council of tho strikers had Q pro. longed meeting last evening at which every phase of the situation was dis cussed. They decided to continue the | strike.

OVER NIAGARA.
Graham, the Barrel Fiend, Claims te
 Have Made tho Trip.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y.,' Sept. 2.--It was reported early yesterday that c. D. Graham had made his long-contem- plated trip over the Horseshoe Falls. Less than dozen are willing to testify that the trip was squarely made, but the barrel, which could be seen in the eddy below the falls, where boat could hardly reach Is offered in evidence.
 Graham, and some of the party who claim to have seen the trip, tell the story as follows:
 The barrel, which is the one in which he made his trip through the whirlpool rapids last Sunday, was taken across the bridge about 8 o'clock yesterday morning and launched just below Chip pewa Creek. Considerable work had been done on the barrel since last Sun day in the way of padding, etc. Two sand bags had also been strapped to the bottom on tho inside. .
 The barrel was lowed out in the river by Garry Staley and Andrew Horn, rep utable citizens of this place. The man. hole was packed to make 1t water-tight, and when the cover was shut down 1t was fastened on the inside, and two bars placed over 1t and secured by spring lock.
 At 0:45 the barrel was cut loose, and after taking passage similar to the one of two weeks ago, was seen to pass ovcr the falls about 200 feet from the shore at 7:10 o'clock. It was out of sight little over Q minute, and came out from under the falls right side up and drifted into one of the numerous eddies-
 E. l.. Jones, an expert swimmer, swan out and brought in one of the lines at tached, and with the assistance of MT. Cahill pulled the craft ashore. It was opened at 7:3O o'clock, having been closed fifty minutes.

Why is it that in all the talk about the
banishing OF stoves from passenger cars
and they ought to be banished-no-
body seems to have thought that the
kerosene lamps are as great NJ element
OF danger as the coal stoves, In a pas
senger car in which the Listener rode
quite a distance the other day. there
were no fewer than twelve kerosene
lamps burning-four pairs in the roof
and -four separate lamps On each side.
Now. in case OF a collision or a capsiziRg,
every m Of these Tampa would have
been a source of danger, possibly agreat-
err source OF danger than a good, strong
stove. since a toy might sustain the
force of the shock. and not throw out
burning Goals. while the lamps would be
pretty sure to be broken In a serious
smashup. and nothing but the accident
of extinguishment before the crash
would have prevented them from setting
fire to the car. Perhaps there is no way
of getting rid of kerosene lamps in cars.
They must be lighted in some way, and
not all cars can be lighted by electricity.
But the lamps are not to be forgotten
among the things that are to be re-
formed out OF existence on the improved
railway of the future.-Boston Tran
script.
