WITH STONES AND CLUBS.
Hull Strikers Attack a Squad of
Police. ---.--

Hull STRIKERS Attack squad or
Police.
LONDON, April 23.-The police in
hull arrested drunken decker last
evening between II and IL o'clock. A
mob of strikers stopped them on their
way to the station. The police fought
them off and sent for reinforcements.
The numbers of the strikers Swelled
rapidly. When the police reinforce
ments arrived more than 1000 men had
gathered, armed with stones, clubs and
revolvers. The police drew their
batons and, clubbing right and left, di-
vided the mob so that the three officers
with their prisoner could proceed to the
station. After the drunken striker had
been removed the rioters charged the
police repeatedly. They were forced
back by hand-to-hand fighting, were di-
vlded and were driven into the side
streets, where they rallied again to the
attack. More police were called out
and more strikers were attracted by the
uproar. The wounded men OH both
sides were carried away, and the strlk-
ers obtained new supply of pokerS,
boat-hooks, cudgels and split planks.
The police forced the men back grad
ually into the immediate neighborhoOd
of the docks. The whole district was
in an uproar. The struggle was carried
into every street and alleyway. Dock
ers who had gone 10 bed hurried half
dressed from their houses to join in the
fight. Windows were smashed and
doors were battered down. At the dry
pool dock the mob tried to storm the
steamer Right. Fifty police defended
it for forty minutes, and then, with the
aid OF thirty more, put the rioters to
flight. The fight lasted well into this
morning. Only six strikers were ar
rested.
Delegates from twenty or twenty-five
of the most powerful wOrkingmen's
unions in London and the provinces
met in secret session in this city last
evening to consider what measures
they should adopt in support of
the Hull strikers. Many of the
unions represented at the confer
ence are connected only indirectly
stance, those of the gas workers and
the coal porters. John Burns, Keir
Hardie, Joseph Havelock Wilson, ali
members of parliament, and the Ia
Dor agitators, Mccarthy and Sprow,
addressed the delegates. No report
of the proceedings was given to
the press. 1t is said that wide di-
vergence of opinion was manifested as
to the best course of action towards the
Hull strikers, and that the meeting
broke up in confusion. OF one thing
there is no doubt-the sentiment of the
meeting was overwhelmingly favorable
to the men in Hull.
The fire is extending from the timber
yard, and threatens to destroy the ware
houses near by. The Citadel hotel has
been burned. All the telegraph wires
in the district are down, and the railway
irons have been melted.
The value of the timber and other
property now in danger is 91,000,00O.
Three other fires were started by incen-
diaries in Hull this evening. All were
discovered before they got Roadway
and were extinguished.

TRADING WITH THE NATIVES.

tablishing friendly relations. had in
tended to make depot at Kewel for
coal, spare gear and few provisions,
but the stretch of shallow water, the
nasty sea and the doubtful friendliness
of the natives made it impracticable.
Some months afterward, when we had
discovered the Strickland river and as
cended the first range of mountains, l
revisited Kewel and succeeded in es-
tablishing friendly and trading relations
with them, but l never had much faith
in their honesty. My plan in trading
with them was to select an open space,
make them gather in front of me, keep
ing one or two of my party behind me
as rear guard.
This plan we pursued in all places
where we succeeded in having friendly
communication with the natives on
shore. but the river tribes from 800
to 500 miles inland had never heard OF
white people, and appeared to be living
in constant dread of attacks from their
warlike neighbOrs. If we landed, or
showed any inclination to land, their
villages would be at once deserted. the
women and children being hidden in the
thick forest, while the fighting men
were ambushed on the outskirts of the
Jungle few feet from the houses. In a
number of cases they assembled IN large
numbers on the banks Of the river
fully armed, wearing plumed head
dresses, boars' tuSks through their nos
trils and painted in various devices,
with different hues in pigments and
charcoal. They would then shout chal-
lenges, chant war songs and execute
various dances of defiance aud deriSion.
On one occasion they came to the side
OF the rivar opposite to where we were
camped, challenged us to come over and
fight, and, after firing several volIeys of
arrows at us. held up dogs in their arms
and signitied by unmistakable signs
that we were cowardly dogs, and that
they intended to kill us and feast on our
bodies.
Sometimes, when all other 0vertures
failed, we would overcome their shyness
or ditfidence by tying pieces of red cloth
and flannel to sticks of wood, and
throwing them into the water for the
canoes to pick up. This invariably sue
ceeded. for after arousing their cupidity
we would stop throwing presents
into the water and wait until they
came alongside We always took
care not to allow any boats to come
near with arps. The party was kept
on the qui vlve during this trading, tor

east. 1t has a comparatively large pop
ulation. One of the principal villages is
called Kewei, says II. c. Everlll In the
San Francisco Chronicle.
Previous to the Geographical society
party's visit to the island the London
Missionary society had sent some ma
tive teachers there to pick up the Ian
guage with a view to establishing a
station later on, but they hal been
obliged to fly for their lives. Pigs being
very scarce on the occasion OF a
big feast, the chief of the village
called his young warmers together and
said: You are fools to spend days
hunting for pigs when such fat porkers
as those black teachers are READY to
your hands. Come with me tonight and
there will be plenty OF long pig for to-
morrow's" feast. But the teachers
were warned and managed TO escape
before the attack was made. Some time
afterward the resident magistrate OF
Torres Straits accompanied the eXplor-
erS in the government schooner MaVlS
to inquire into the circumstances and to
warn the man-eaters against making
pork OF visitors in the future.
As commander of the exploring eXpe-
ditlon l saw many Interesting things
among the cannibals. Magistrate Doug
las, Rev. Mr.. Macfarline, Capt. Gator
and myself and six of the Mavis' Euro
pean seamen started for the shore in a
whaleboat, towing dingy astern. An
extensive sand-fiat lies off the village.
so we had to anchor the whaleboat some
distance out and get as far
in as possible with the dingy,
and then wade three-quarters of .
mile of shallow water and sand
before reaching the village. Mr.. Doug
ias and myself landed in advance of the
rest of the party, and cautiously APP
preached the village. All the houses
were closed, but a group of the natives
stood in front of large house which, as
was afserward learned, belonged to the
chief. They were all perfectly nude.
and standing prominently among them
was very old, whlte-haired man, with
rather fine head, but decidedly
wicked-looking and shockingly de-
formed.
We shook hands with them in spite of
their surly looks and repulsive manner.

among them, while Douglas dressed the
old man in a flannel shirt and new
serge suit, which gave him quite re-
spectacle appearance. He then further
gladdened his heart with new trl-co.-

CARLYLE's SISTER.
Last of the Family OF the Great
Philosopher.

Last of the Family OF the Great
Philosopher.
Mrs. Robert Hanniug, or Janet Car
lyle. the only living member of the
family in which Thomas Carlyle was
son, is living in Ontario, Canada. She
was born at MaInhill Farm, near Lock
erby, in the county OF DumfrieS,
Southern Scotland, on the 10Th
of July, 1872, writes Louise
MarkSchetfel in striking artl-
Gle on THE Last of the CarlyleS" in the
Nav Ladies' Home Journal. The house,
at the time of its occupancy by the Car
lyle family, was a low, One-StOry, white
washed cottage, having few poor out
buildings attached, and standing a few
hundred yards back from the road which
passed by it. This cottage consisted OF
three rooms-a kitchen.a small bed room
and Cne large one connected to the
house by passage. The door opened
upon a square farmyard, around which
were the outhOuSeS. No foliage, save
the stunted growth of thorn, could live
in this bleak. windy spot. and its drear-
ineSs was only relieved by the beauti
ful view from the house of wooded hill
and shining river.
Here lived for many years James
Carlyle (of whom Thomas wrote: "He
was the most remarkable man | ever
knew'O and his wife Margaret, with their
large family of children; and here,
as has been said, Was born Janet,
or Jennie, the youngest of the
family and the subject of this sketch.
| Through the long year, the father with
his sons worked at the cultivation of the
unfruitful soil. while the mother and
daughters were occupied in household
labors and in caring for the cows and
poultry, and, in harvest time, in helping
with the men IN the fields. Thomas, the
eldest son. was but seldom at home, as
his education, and later his career of
tutor and writer, took him to Edinburgh
and to other cities. His holidays. how
ever, were spent at Mainhill almost in

on some occasions, one notably, the
cunning Papuans attempted surprise,
and when that failed, 200 canoes filled
with men arranged themselves ahead

tidal creek over which are. two BAN
boo bridges. The houses were OF the
usual large communal character. Plan
tatiOus OF cOcoanuts and sage were
scattered in and about the villages, some
of the sage palms being very magnif-
cent. We also saw several plots of to-
bacco and some curious graves built
like rough pigpens with the weapons
of the dead hung round about,
and also punches of bananas and
other food put there, we are
told, in case the deceased got hungry on
his journey. We saw very few men and
no women or children, but on approach
ing the jungle we were warned back by
the guides. | saw many natives moving
about among the trees, and once or
twice caught sight of them with bows
drawn and arrows aimed at us. In
passing so ne of the small tracks leading
into the thick forests we saw bows and
arrows lying on the ground,
the points being toward us. On
going to pick them up we
were hurried away by our guide. Aft
erwards learned they were so placed
as danger signals and meant mo adj
mittance." We should certainly have
been attacked had we disregarded those
warnings. The women and children
were hidden in the woods, and most OF
the men were guarding them. Pigeons,
cockatoos, and other birds were plenti-
full. 1 also saw two or three fine eagles.
We did not venture inside the houses
as friendly relations had not been as
tablished, our people demanding the
immediate return of all the property
stolen in the late attack, which the Pa
puans did not seem at all anxious to
give up.
We gave them till night to consider
and returned to our boats. By this time
there was a gale blowing and heavy
sea. After beating about for more than
two hours, and being drenched over
and over again. we got alongside the
Mavis, where remained for the night,

others are as yet almost unknown. The
River Fly has been navigated for some
600 miles. and the Strickland river,

and not wishing to risk another attack,
we steamed away. From the number of
canoes and temporary habltations on
both banks of the river at this place,
should estimate the number of natives
at over 1900, who were evidently mi
grating from one place to another, or
perhaps OH some warike expedition,

The sIowness of the Snail.

Philadelphia Press.
"a suaiPs pace" need no longer be
used as a term more or less indefinite;
those skilled in the science of "snailol
ogy" can tell you just to dot the snail's
rate of travel. These Interesting facts
were ascertained by some wonderful
experiments at the Florence, Italy. Poly
technic institute in 1889, and those in
clined to be exact can now use figures
to support their arguments.
1t was all done in this way: A half a
dozen of the mOlluSks were permitted
TO crawl between two points ten feet
apart. Exact time was kept from the
start to the finish, and thus the average
''pace" was ascertained. The expert
mentors reduced their figures into tables
of feet, yards, rods, furlongs, ETC., and
thus found that it would take a snail
exactly fourteen days to travel mile.

suspiciously that they were watched by
