The two liners whose crews struck
today, were met of quarantine by

: Through a megaphone the word that
the strike had been called. was
passed. and the men left the ships
the moment they were docked. n. &.

the day all of the Morgan line men.
According to Griffin there are 20
900 coastwise sailors. fremen, and

Concerning the safety OF visiting

The anarchist, socialist and revolu-
tionary clubs In the city have been

has been rounded up and accounted
for. The majority have simply been

Naturally even King Georges
household and stables have been
pretty severely taxed to meet the
present occasion. Horses, carriages
and servants have been brought into
London from all the royal residences
England, and even st
that extra ones have had to be hired.
For the royal guests benefit magnif-

dale, Lord Iveagh, Lord Howard De
Walden and Lady Saylor-Leyland,

OF all the various countries. col

the British Empire, Ireland will be

nation. Thsre are, Of course, Irish
peers, troops, police and Individual
visitors on hand In large numbers,
but not soul on behalf OF the Irish

The Nationalist members Of parlia-
ment have always refused to partici-
pate In any of England's important Of
fetal shows. They were unrepre-
sented at the Queen Victoria jubilee,
the diamond jubilee and at the coro-
nation and funeral OF King Edward.
On the present occasion 1t was agreed
that, inasmuch as Ireland seems to
be on the eve Of home rule circum-
stances have changed considerably.
II was also agreed, however, that in
asmuch as the people OF the Emerald
Isle are still deprived OF their consti-
tutional rights they would not even

On July 1st, 1t will be possible for

cock states that already large num-
Der OF applications with surrendered
certificates of deposit have been re-
