gospel OF peace and arbitration and
the greater win grow the sentiment

them as shall influence the ratiacation

that has spread through Great Britain

London docks, the conditions continue
to improve but this was offset by
outbreaks elsewhere with the excep-

Fighting at Liverpool last night

rioters who were shot by hussars in
defending five prison vans occupied
by riot prisoners whom mob attempt
ed unsuccessfully to release has not
tended thus far to improve the situa-

the peaceably disposed outside the

to more easily handle those who were
