A SLOW SURRENDER
The Dock Companies Will Soon
 Have to Yield.
PUBLIC PRESSURE TOO STRONG
Cardinal Manning and Others Confer With
 the Dock Officials.

Only "A Feeling of False Pride Keeps the
 Directors from Surrendcring-A Belief
 that the Strike Will End on Monday.
 Burns Will Run for a Seat In Parliament.
 Lord Randolph Churchill BIames the
 Employers for the Strike.
 LONDON, Sept. 7.-At conference held to-day between tho dock directors and the shippers on the ono side, and Cardinal Manning, the Lord Mayor. the Bishop Of London and Sir John Lub- book on the other, the dock directors consented to allow shippers and vessel owners to load and discharge their own vessels, making any arrangements they sec fit with the laborers. It was com mercial necessity, and only feeling of false pride keeps the directors from sur rendering, a condition to which they are rapidly and inevitably approaching.
 As a result of the conference the dock directors agreed to consider proposal for a six-penny rate, to begin in January next. This time Is fixed in order to allow readjustment of charges to meet the added outlay. The strikers com mittee consented to advise the men to accept this proposal.
 Lord Randolph Churchill, speaking at Newtown, said that the strike was the natural outcome of the excesses into which employers had fallen in the effort to extract an undue amount of labor at an inadequ uate rate of wages. The third officer of the steamer Clan Graham was attacked by number of dockmen yesterday, and beaten and kicked to inscnsibility. His pockets were then riiled.
 The Clan Graham had been loaded by Lascars, and the outrage was com mitted upon the officer out of revenge. It is believed that the employers will give in and that work will be resumed by Monday.
