THE LIVERPOOL SITUATION

a renewal of rioting, growing
out Of the strike of lockers and al
lied unionists occurred in Liverpool
last night in the Scotland road divi-
sion of the city. The police again
had TO make baton charges and the
soldiers also were called upon. Their
presence, however was sufficient TO
over-awe the rioters, who dispersed.
Motor wagons which were convey
Ing print paper to newspape& offices
were attacked, street car windows
were smashed and another attempt
was made TO release prisoners from
vans conveying them TO Walton Jail
Police and soldiers, however. were
present in force, the troops with bay
onets fixed and the crowd was not
so daring as on Tuesday night, and
did not compel the militia to fire
Last night the troops were bivou-
acked in the streets. Their orders
are not 10 fire over the heads OF
rioters in the future, as this en-
dangers innocent parties, but if it be-
necessary TO shoot to pick out the
apparent ringleaders OF the mob.
Liverpool is nearing the starra-
ton point and unless a railway
strike is averted two days more will
find the bread supply exhausted.
The only bread now in the city is
that displayed in the shop windows.
Some restaurants already have
been closed because their managers
could not obtain sufficient provi-
sions. All. the necessaries in food
have advanced greatly in price. Yes
terday the price Of eggs went up
eight cents per dozen, and butter
made the same advance. These are
merely samples Of the tax imposed
upon the housekeepers by the strike.

The sickness OF Beulah Binford and
Paul Beattie and OF the fathsr-in-law of
Judge Walter a. Watson may cause
continuance of the trial OF Henry Clay
Beattie. jr., for wife murder, set for
Monday next at Chesterfield. Passing
restless night and complaining of the
heat, Beulah Biuford remained in bed
all of yesterday. DR.. Fulmer Bright,
who attended her, reported she had a
high fever, their being indications of
typhoid. Paul Beattie, the purchaser
of the gun, has appealed to the judge
for an order permitting him to take out
door exercise each day. He is unable
to eat solid food, and he says the con-
finement is injuring his health.
Governor Mann has designated Judge
j. F. West, Of Waverly, Va. to relieve
Judge Watson Of bis duties in the
Chesterfield Circuit Court. due to the
critical illness of ". t. Fiusley, father
in.law of Judge Watson. The. condi-
ton Of Mr.. Tirsley is not encouraging.

AVIATION.

Aviation has been dream OF the hu-
lnan race from the beginning. In an
tediluvian history mention is made OF
the translation OF patriarch and later
that of prophet Tn. aerial flights
OF Gabrial ard Michael subsequently
Tired the Imagination, which was
augmented to a great degree by the
mythology Of the ancieuts. The thou
sand aud one stories related by Scher-
herazade to the Indian king abound 10
descriptions ETHEREAL voyages, notably OF
that OF q juggler who uses a wooden
horse as his aeroplane. AS the world
progressed Cervantes and LeSeige kept
up the fame by sending out Asmo-
deus, Don Quixote and other pro-
auctions which abound in hirdmen
who are represented are annihilating
space by their aerial performances. The
effects OF these wild imaginings we're
apparent in this country up to COM
paratively recent period when many
persons, with bulging eyes, were. wont
TO tell OF females soaring in the vicinity
OF the moon astride Of broomsticks,
Belva Lockwood, fired by zeal
for flying attempted to soar
aloft by the aid Of two umbrellas.
The aviation of today is the outcome
Of the dreams OF the ancients as we'll as
the moderns, and the fact that men
can fly is being demonstrated daily.
But the race has much still to over
come before this new adjunct to
transportation can become of general
use. The list of horrors incident to
aviation is appalling, and the many
hairbreadth escapes of daring men
have, in measure, deferred others
from tempting Providence by leaving
terra firma for the purpose of Initiating
the feathery creation. Some thrilling
scenes we're witnessed at the Chicago
meet Yesterday when several aviatoTs
had barrow escapes from death.

Too much loud talk is being in
dulged in by the detectives, state fire
marshal and his deputies relative to
the arrest of Mayor Dumas of Cass
Lake and the startling denouements
that are to follow. The affair at Pu-
posky was badly bungled on the part
of the officers. The officers knew for
days in advance that the store at
Puposky was to be burglarized and
had laid all their plans to entrap and
capture the crooks, yet they succeeded
in capturing only one of the yeggmen
and cowardly permitted the other to
escape. It does seem as if an army of
sleuths and officials, forewarned and
forearmed, should have either killed
or captured the two lone thugs. The
affair at Puposky does not reflect
much credit on the officers.

A Vague Conception.

A man who recently returned from
a trip to Germany gave US an idea of
the vague conception entertained by
some of the people over there regard
ing the size of the United States. A
resident of Hanover, in conversation
with the American, said that he had
a cousin living in the United States
named Otto Schultz and he asked the
American to call on Otto and give
him his regards. "What part of the
states does he live in?" asked the
American. II don't know. -
answered the German, "but in a small
country like that I should think he
would be easy to fnd." Upon being
told that the whole of GERMANY. if
planted in the United States,
wouldn't look any bigger than a
family potato patch, the man almost
collapsed.

That was purely farcical decision
which the international arbitration
court rendered in the disputed terri
tory case down at Ell Paso. The
court was convened for the purpose of
deciding whether the u nited States or
Mexico is entitled to $1,000, 1000 worth
of property in the southern part of Ell
Paso, both countries claiming owner
ship. But what did the court do?
Decided that the property should be
equally divided between the United
States and Mexico, and both countries
very properly dissent. Such fool
court should receive no pay for it's
labor.

A supposition widely prevails that
dogs are more liable to 60 mad in the
hot months of the year than they are
in the cold. There is absolutely no
foundation for such belief. Pasteur
institute people will tell you that dogs
are equally as susceptible to rabies
in the winter time as in the summer
records of patients treated furnish this
information. But many dogs are
doubtless driven mad in the hot
months by muzzling, which prevents
them from obtaining sufficient water
or OF finging their tongues to the
breeze to cool off.
