STRIKE OF CARRIERS ENDS
Adjustment of Their Grievances Has

LONDON, August I1.Considcra BILE i'm
dent this morning. and orders for troops
TO come into the city were countermand-
cd. Some cavalry had ALREADY gone
aboard the special trains at Aldcrshot,
when their officers received word that
they were not needed I'm London.
The trains. however. remained on tic
sidings, their locomotives With steam ur.
so that they could be moved at mo-
mcnt's Doticc. The settlement OF the
grievances Of the .cartcrs, who, With fhe
dock iaborers. whose demands were salts
fled some days ago. formed the bulk OF
tho strikers, had had a good effect. and
an adjustment OF the differences of the
water men and lighter men with their
employers was hourly expected.
Leaders Not sanguine.
Some of The strike leaders we're pes

In some districts the provision etorcs
were closed because of the failure oi

Uniting the Opposition.

The Earl of Selbourne, the only possible
leader of the unionists outside Of A. J.
Balfour. will rejoin the leaders under this
policy. and a majority OF his followers
and the bulk Of the opposition party will
fall In line. The Earl of Halsbury, the
most unreienting Of the die hards." Is
now too old to take up the leadership
of even a section of the party. and ne
probably will retire from active politics.
A few insurgents like Lord Williughby
de Broke and other fighting peers will
always remain on the flank Of the party
ready to attack any sign OF leaning 10
the democracy. but as they have always
done this the effect will not be serious.
The Irish leaders are confident that the
way is now open to home rule, and from
the statement Of Home Secretary Church
i'll in the house Of commons that the
measure during the present parliament
their confidence seems to some extent
justified. 1t must be remembered how
ever. that the lords will still be able to
delay the passage OF such bill two
years and they can be depended upon to
delay home rule go long as 1t is possible
for them to do so. The earliest bill could
not be introduced until next spring. and
1t would be strongly fought In the house
OF commons The lords would then throw
II out. and some time must elapse before
1t could be again presented. so much de-
pends on whether the government will be
able to hold out that long.
Home Rule an Issue.
An election with the parliament bill as
an issue probably would result vorao!y
TO the government, but an election over
the question Of home rule for Ireland is
another matter.
There is an increasing number Of peo-
PIE in England formerly opposed to home
rule who are now prepared to give Ire
land a local self-government, which Is all
that John Redmond asks at present, and
accordingly the prospects OF an election
on this issue are not as threatening as
heretofore.
The Irish press adopts e moderate tone
In discussing the passage OF the veto bill.
The Irish Times Of Dublin says that it Is
only the first step in a bitter and pro-
longed controversy.
1he Dublin FTeeman'S Journal says:
The curtain falls on the discontinue
OF the peers and the Inveterate enemies
of Irish nationality, only to rise straight
up on that nationality In IT'S triumph"
The Irish Daily Independent Of Dublin
says: so far as ireland Is concerned, the
lords may keep home rule back two
Years and "A feeble MEASURE we'll as q
bold ono will receive the same treatment
at their hands. In these circumstances
the government should face the question
boldly.

Adds Prestige to Victory.

The victory was all the greater as it
was achieved with composite majority
in the house of commons, over which the
government whips had no control. While
there is a strong public opinion opposed
to a radical change In the constitution
and even many liberal peers thought that
the government was going too far, opin-
ion is general that the end had been
reached of situation which has kept
politics in a turmoil SO long and prevent
ed the adoption Of much useful legisla-
ton.
In the press and among the people to-
day the result was discussed with modef-
alton and already interest is turning to
other matters. Certainly the recent rift
has not done the unionist party any good.
and in the future there will always be
the possibility Of the sore breaking out
should the leaders show any weakness
on. a question OF national importance.
However, a strong effort is being made to
bring the two factions together 'on a
strsng platform, among the chief planks
Of which will be the repeal Of the parlia-
ment bill and the reform of the house OF
lords as outlined in Lord Lansdown's
bill -..e i 80.

cuted that drug house on many occa-
sions and had seized products. In

made a vigorous protest to the Depart
ment in consequence -.
Dr. RlgeloW. assistant chief of the eu-
reau OF chemistry, followed Dr kcDler

satisfa action when he spent four days In

which Solicitor McCabe dissilowed. AL

DR.. BigelOw was asked what he thought
OF DR.. Rusby and the reasons for the
anxiety to employ him.
