Soon Begin at Several of the Docks.
LONDON, Sept Blood was shed yester-
day morning as consequence of the dock
iaborers' strike, and the strikers are terribly
excited about it, the victim being one of
their number, and a policeman's pistol the
weapon used. The event took place on the
Peninsular and Oriental company's dock.
Here large number of men were at work
unloading vessel and the sight of the work
going on made the strikers frantic. At first
they contented themselves with applyi ing in
sulting epithets to the workmen, but this
having no effect they started to attack them,
when the police lnterfered, and finding
nothing else would keep them back, they
fired, wounding one man, whom the doctors
say will die
Threats of Vengeance.
The news of the fight spread among the men
like wildfire, and created the greatest ex-
element Threats of vengeance were heard
on all sides. The men speak of the shooting
as "unprovoked murder" although eya-wit-
nesses of the fight are positive in the state
ment that the police drew their revolvers
only when the strikers, who outnumbered
them ten to one, charged upon them with
stones and clubs. Even after the first fire
the men stood their ground, apparently I'M
certain whether 10 continue the attack or to
turn and flea Ii was fortunate for the po-
lice that at this critical moment the men
lacked a leader, for they certainly were not
wanting in courage to face the deadly re-
yolvers pointed at them. With leader to
give the word they would undoubtedly have
made short work of the handful of police.

The Strikers Hard to Restrain.
The strike committee met early yesterday
afternoon and were still in session at 2 a m.
to-day. They discussed some new proposals
advanced by the wharfingers, but the most
serious business before the meeting was the
preparation Of manifesto denouncing the
action of the police in firing on the strikers
yesterday. The committee had considerable
difficulty in agreeing upon the wording of
this manifesto, some OF the most violent urg-
ing that 1t should call upon the strikers to
arm themselves In defense Of their lives. 1t
Is reported that Burns, the leader of the
strikers, is having great trouble to keep his
committee within bounds, and that a prop
osition to arm the strikers out of the funds
contributed by charitable citizens for food
was defeated by only two votes

resume work on any wharf where pence
is paid for ordinary work, pence for over
time, and where the plus" on piece work is
equally divided between the journey men
and the foremep. These are the terms for
which the strike was inaugurated, but not
withstanding the fact that at several of the
wharves the strikers might have gone to
work on these terms any time during the
past ten days, the committee refused to al
low any man to go to work until the dock
companies had been brought to terms. The
consent now given is therefore accepted as a
sign of weakening, and the early collapse Of
