''Never!" was the prompt reply.
'But did you not feel that you must

LONDON, April 49, Ten thous-
and striking weavers assembled at
Bradford to-day to protest against
the action of the municipal autho-
rites in forbidding a meeting which
the strikers had arranged for yes
terday. The police vainly tried to
dispense the gathering. Finally,
the Riot Act was read and the
military summoned. The soldiers
joined forces with the police, and o
combined charge was mado upon
the ranks of the stubborn strikers.
A fierce struggle ensued, but the
strikers were unable to resist the
increased force, and were CON-
PEELED to retreat before the bayou
cts and batons. The police used
their batons very freely, and many
strikers were injured. Several
policemen were also hurt during
the fight.
During the riots windows were
smashed and lamps extinguished.
Many arrests were made. All the
prisoners had gashes on their heads
from stones or police batons, but no
one had bayonet wounds.

the only one of one hundred and
fifty apprentice boys who entered
into the company's service in 1874
who has remained with the COM
pany and risen to distinction. He
is the youngest captain in the com
pany's service and one of the most
capable. He has served on every
steamer of the Pacific Mail and
been in every port where th.-e
steamers touch. Captsin Ward ia

TIMING BIG STEAMSHIPS.
The way the Record is Kept and the
Points of observation.

Points OF observation.
The British government has n man
stationed at Roche's point who Is paid
to record in Il book the exact time these
steamers pass his signal station, both
inward and outward bound. Since the
acute rivalry between the fleet ships OF
the White Star and lnman lines has
sprung up, this man has been even
more than ordinarily careful in carry
ing out his instructions, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch In passing Roche's
Point the vessels go through channel
hardly three miles wide, and rs a gen.
eral thing they pass within an easy
mile OF the government signal station.
Since the fast ships began TO reckon
their speed SO carefully, this signal
officer has timed them from the mo-
ment they were exactly abeam of his
station The outward bound vessels
usually go past him at full speed.
What becomes of them after that is OF
no concern to the signal man. He inn
mediately telegraphs his record TO the
steamship agents in Queenstown
whence it is forwarded to the main
Office at Liverpool. Both the lnman
and the White Star lines have n man
OF their own at Roche's Point to make
observations and figures. Sometimes
they differ. But if by any possible
chance the question of II vessels actual
time came up in British court of law
the government signal mans figures
would stand.
In similar way the Official time
on the other side is taken the moment
the vessel is abeam OF Sandy Hook.
The line is set by the compass and the
telescope does the rest. The moment
of crossing is almost as clearly defined
as in the case OF the running horse on
the track Passengers on the trans
atlantic steamers date the time of their
passage either from Lands End or
from the time the vessel starts until
she comes to anchor The steamship
companies do not take this into ac-
count at all in their Official records.

LONDON FOGS.
Number Constantly Increasins-Of what
They Are Composed.

An important paper on London fog
was read at the hygienic congress by
DR.. Russell. who has made it the sub
ject OF special study. He says, first OF
all, that the number OF fogs is con-
stantly increasing in the metropolis.
From 1870 to 1870 there were % OF
them; from 1870 TO 1880. l569 This
is the direct result Of the increased
consumption OF coal. which amounted
to 6, 400, 900 tons in 1890. as against
4, 400. 900 tons in 1855. DR.. Russell
claims to have proved that increased
smoke makes fogs more frequent as
well as thicker, by adding to impuri-
ties in the air. Fogs, he adds are es-
pecially likely TO occur in still, cold
weather. The composition OF London
fog is as follows:
