ploycd by the llrms of Eyre * Spottis-
woodc, Cassctt * Co., and Waterloo e.
Son, have tuck.
Ten thousand striking dock laborcrs
marched i'll procession to-day. They were
orderly.
Coal men in thousands have joined the
strikers, and the situation shows no sign
of Improvement
Meetings of employers and workmcn
continue to be held, but without result.
The directors OF the Commercial dock
company have declined the offer of scr
vices of 5000 Belgian laborcrs at 412d
per hour.
The commercial dock company has de
ridcd the proposals of delegates from
leading houses OF twelve different trades
to submit to arbitration the grievances
of the workncn. To-day drivers of the
Government mail carts demanded an ad-
vance OF wages which the post office atl-
thorltcS granted.
The London Chamber of Commerce
urges tn, dock managers to agree to an
arbitration, and seven members of the
House OF Commons i'll an interview with
the dock directors to-day appealed to
them to cOnCcdc to the demand of the
men. The directors promised to con
slider the matter. There are a few
vessels unloading i'll Midway to which the
strike has not yet extended. The Saliva
ton Army, London Cottage Mission,
and similar bodies are materially assist
ing the strikers with cheap or gratuitouS
needs and lodgings. The coal portcrs
have rejected the offer from the London
dock company of Il shilling an hour,
dinner and beer and protection from the
strikers. The keynote showing the
Importance of the movement was
struck by Mr.. Burns at meeting
tonight He pronounced the strike a
stepping stone to Il greater and noblcr
movement of working men throughout
the country. ThcprcScnl struggle would
teach a lesson of union. When concluded
he would commence his work in the east
end.
LONDON, August 27.-In the House of
Commons tonight Home Secretary
Matthews, referring to the great strike,
said he was not prepared to admit the
existence OF organized intimidation which
would justify interference by the police
He earnestly hoped that each side would
cndcaVur to adjust all differences.

The Superior Court

Closed its summer term yesterday
afternoon, the docket having been cleared
after faithful work, and Judge Clark left
last night for Connolly Springs, where he
vii, meet his family aud remain until it
is time for him to leave for Transylvania
court. Though Judge Clark was COM
mcndcd by THE CITIZEN for Il charge lie
never made and though that gave some
OF the State papers occasion for some
very wise disquisitons upon the error of
netting out praises to the judiciary, we
can now say that Judge Clark during
the court earned and deserved all the
GommcndatlOn anticipated in the com
plimcnt to the undclivcrcd charge. The
best test of good service is that of the
bar, the first men to feel and bc rcstivc
under the novel pulling Of tight rein;
and also the first to acknowledge the
wisdom and justice Of the restraint.
Without exception, the members of the
bar accord to Judge Clark, ample learn
ing, a clear judicial mind quick reaching
oi conclusions, promptncsS of decision,
due patience, great courtesy, but marked
impaticncc of waste of time. To cmpha-
size this characteristics he has had put
a clock in SiXty-iour court rooms in the
State to impress the idea that "time is
money" thus inSuring promptncSs and
punctualty, both Of which he cnlorrcS
riGidly. Judge Clark, like Judge McRac,
shows great regard for the comforts OF
the jury; he says thcirdu are oncrous
and c0niinng, and should he mitigatcd
as much as possible by the provision Of
cunvcnlcnccS. Here, the jury room has
been provided with easy revolving chairs,
not as IuXurics, but as comforts necessary
for men selected against their will to do
the public business.
