ANOTHER LONDON STRIKE
NO OMNIBUsEs RUNNING TO
DAY
The Public Greatly AInO OSleSi
by the Strike-A Conference
Protection.

LONDON, June S.-Hardlva a single omni,
hus of S75 vehicles belonging to the Lon.
don Omnibus COMPANY is running today
and it is estimated about 5000 men and
10000 horses are idle through a strike
commenced yesterday.
The amount of Inconvenience which
working men and business men are thus
put to can be imagined only when it
is understood that tens of thousands OF
people depend upon omnibuses to carry
them to their work.
All the yards of the omnibus company
are strangely "picketed" by the strikers,
and the usually busy main streets are
almost deserted.
Only the tram cars and a few ''scab
busses" are to be seen here and there.
These "privates" are charging an in
creased rate of fare in view of the harvest
producing strike, but the public generally
are chary of patronizing them, prelerring
to walk.
The hostlcrs of the omnibus company
this morning reported for duty as usual
and after having watercd and fed the
horses, again left the stables, refusing to
assist the company in any other way.
The leaders of the strike early in the day
made tour of all the company's yards,
making fiery enthusiastic addresses to
the men and doing everything possible
to encourage them to resist.
The directors OF the omnibus company
are holding n conference to decide upon
what course of action they shall pursue.
During the meeting deputation of non
union men visited them, and stated that
they were willing to work in the places
of the strikers if they were accorded ade-
quate police protection.

At Oxford a man has Just been heavily
fined for tempting undergraduates to bet,
and the magisterial investigation proved
that gambling prevails in the university
to scandalous extent. Ministers of all
religious denominations who started a
crusade lew months ago against
gambling, are appalled, by the ac-
cumulating evidence OF the wide
spread existence of the evil and the
variety its forms. They fear, and with
good reason, that the publicity given to
the baccarat scandal will add to their
difficulties, for people who have read YER
batim reports of the evidence will by this
time he able to play the wicked game,
and they have also learned, thanks to
Mr.. Stanley Wilson and his ingenious
young friends, how to inprovisc an or.
thodox baccarat table out of the most
unpromising and homely materials.

Sherman, inst arrived from Ft Yates,
brings the news of an immense prairie
fire west of the Missouri river. His
story is that scope of country 300
miles long and 200 miles wide has been
burned over, destroying farm houses,
stock ranches, many herds of horses and
cattle and numerous quantities of hay.
The fire is said to have been started by
buffalo bone picker, who found his
calling very unrenumerative owing to
the heavy growth of grass and other
vegetation this season. He has since
fled. A price has been set upon his
head, and he will be lynched if caught.
The whole region of more than 200
miles square is described as a place of
death and desolation. Many persons are
believed to have persisted in the flames,
though nothing definite on that score is
yet ascertainable,

ALBANY, N. X, Oct. 2.-The official
report of the last execution by electricity
at Sing Sing prison shows that series
of experiments were made on the four
condemned men. Slocum was the first
victim. The electric contact was twenty
seven seconds duration. Pulse was
found to he still beating and respiration
ensued. The current was re-applied
and continued for twenty-six and one
quarter seconds. Respiration had then
entirely and permanently ceased. Four
minutes later rigor mortis started in the
leg and rapidly extended to all the mus
cles of the body, the arms being the last
Smiler, the second victim, was given
three contacts of ten seconds each, the
sponges beng wet during the intervals.
There Was no respiration at the end, but
the pulse beat SO firmly that the cur
rent was put on agnin for nineteen Sec
onds.
Wood was given three contacts Of
twenty seconds each, the sponges being
wet at the intervals. There was no
pulse after the third contact.
!ugiro, the Jap, was given three con-
facts OF fifteen seconds each, followed
by intermissions of twenty seconds.
There was slight huttering at the
wrist when the contact was finally
broken. In this case extreme heat was
noticed in the region of the knee, ther-
nometer placed against the skin regis

register.
