 Should Tuesdays court battle go against New York in its fight to re- turn Thaw to Matteawan two possible lines of action will still be open.

Sherbrooke Que, Aug 31.-Harry K. Thaw's lawyers, swept off their feet yesterday by the sudden move of Will liam TTavers Jerome in obtaining through John Boudreau, the Coaticool< chief of police. writ cf habeas corpus requesting Thaw's production in the superior court here on Tuesday, spent the day in conferences, and tonight gave renewed expression of their belief that the writ would not be sustained.
 Appeal Might Cause Delay.
 If it is sustained" said w. K. Mc- KeoWn of the Thaw forces, there is always recourse to appeal, and l am in- clined to think that appeal to the court of reviews or to the court of appeals would act as stay and would hold our client in jail, safe from deportation. In the face of such circun stances l do not see how New York state can make any move until the kings bench con- venes in October"
 Women Gall and Bring Flowers.
 Thaw spent the day in his cell writ ing letters and dictaring to his sten- ographer. As was the case last Sun day, there was no religious service in the prison. Several women called and gave the fugitive flowers. In fact, his cell has been banked with them ever since his confinement.
 Boudreau Acted With Eyes Open.
 W. L. Shurtleff of Coaticook, the first attorney who was retained for Thaw after his arrest nearly two weeks ago said today he had :ieard that Bou- dreau told number oe friends that he had signed the petition for the writ of habeas corpus in the Thaw case through a mistake. Some one had told him, so the story goes. that he was affixing his signature to a document which would indemnify him should Thaw decide to sue for false arrest. He was Thaw's captor at Coaticook, and in his petition for the writ he set forth that he feared he might be liable for damages Boudreau denied, how- ever, that he had signed the applica- ton for the writ without knowing what he was doing Friends might criticise his act he added, but he had acted with his eyes open.
 Thaws Lawyers Deny Coercion.
 Thaw's lawyers denied that they were trying to coerce Boudeau into asking for discontlnuance of the writ. We presume that he knew what he was doing" said McKeown though we have no doubt that he was frightened to some extent by repeated suggestions that he might have big damage suit on his hands unless he tried to get Thaw out of Jail

ALL OF THE DUBLIN
 HOSPITALS CROWDED
Many Broken Heads Result from the
 Tranway Strike Riots.

Dublin. Aug 31-The fierce rioting in connection with the tramway strike was renewed today. Hundreds of per- sons, including the city constables were injured. On Saturday sixty or more persons were injured. All the hoSp1- tals are so crowded that many serious cases had be sent to their homes for treatment.
 The strike committee, in the inter est of peace, had rescinded early m the morning the proposed mass meet ing in OConnell street, and had sub- stituted a parade from Beresford Place to Croydon park, at Fairviewy a sub lIrb on the north side of the city. The authorities meanwhile had prohibited the mass meeting.
 Croydon park belongs to the trans port workers union and a meeting was held there without disorder. But on the return march the attempts of the police by baton charges to disperse the constantly growing crowds led at once to rioting. The mob was further incensed by the arrest of one of the strike leaders, James LarSin, against whom a warrant had been out for "A hours. Larkin was on the balcony of a hotel in Sackville street. He was wearing a disguise for the purpose of eluding arrest, but an enthusiastic ad- nirer raised the cry Three cheers for Larkin!"
 The police immediately bounced upon him and violent scenes ensued. The rioting became general in var ious parts of the city. The police charged repeatedly with their sticks and this led to pitched battles. Stones, brickhats and bottles were hurled by the infuriated rioters, and the streets were soon covered with prostrate forms More than fifty arrests were made
 The tram service Is completely sus- pended.
 Today's rioting was the most serious which has occurred here since the wild days of the Land league in 1888. Lar kin is the secretary of the Transport Workers union, which he practically created and has been the organizer of many strikes. He has enormous in- f1uenoe among the men.

Presidents Representative to Arrive
 from Mexico This Week.

Vera Cruz. Aug. 31.-Dr. William Bayard Hale, who is now on his way to Washington, and should arrive there on Tuesday or Wednesday. is expected to place before President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan important facts in the Mexican situa- tion which have had a bearing on the negotiations between the two coun- tries. The presidents personal repre- sentative, John Lind, is still awaiting instructions from Washington, but so far he has not received any indication from the Mexican government that it would be willing to make more conces- sions to the American demands It was considered not improbable that For eign Minister Gamboa's explanation that General Huerta could not Become a candidate for the presidency at the next elections because of the constitu- tIonaI amendment made during the Madero administration, might be con- Strued by the American representatives as an assurance that he would with draw definitely from the executive power after October at the latest, but MT. Lind is fully cognizant that the Mexican constitution does not prevent General Huerta from resigning and thus rendering himself eligible for the presidency. MT. Lind is also well in formed regarding the editorials in the Mexican newspapers, since the ex- change of notes. in which is suggested the necessity of General Huerta ac- cepting such candidacy.
 The announcement that General Felix Diaz may return in time to make a fight for election offers some hope of a settlement but 1t is generally re- garded as doubtful that. the election of General Diaz or any other man in whose choice the rebels do not join would go far toward restoring peace in Mexico.
 A large number of Americans hava arrived from the interior with the idea that financial aid is to be given to all Americans for the asking, and not few of them were disappointed, and some indignant. when they were forced to answer the consuFs questions as to whether they had enough money to pay their own expenses. The foreign population of Vera Cruz has increased greatly since the warning from Wash ington. and unless some vessel takes off portion of them within a day or two Consul Canada will have to make special provision for their care.

Last Barrier Blown Up Yesterday in
 Presence of 1,5oo speotators-AtIan- tic Barrier Now to be Removed.

Panama, Aug. 31.-.The last remain ing barrier at the Pacific end of the Panama canal was blown up by dyna- mite this morning. It was an intense ly interesting spectacle. At exactly 9.30 o'clock an electric switch was turned on and a moment later the 1.600 spectators, including the Shrin- CTS visiting here from the United States and the officers of the British cruiser New Zeaand, were rewarded by 8 wonderful sight. Hundreds of tons of mud and stones were thrown high in the air; there they hung sus- pended and then fell back, as the thur derous roar of the explosion re-echoed in the nearby hills.
 20 Tons of Dynamite Used.
 About twenty long tons, equal to 44,800 pounds of 45 per cent. dyna- mite, constituted the blast, which was one of the largest ever set off in the canal.
 The charge, which was planted in 541 holes at an average depth of 30 feet, tore a big gap in the barrier, but not to a sufficient depth to permit the water to flow through, as the sea level channel was at lower tide.
 Final Breaking of Barrier
 Equally interesting as the explosion was the actual breaking of the bar Tier this afternoon, the tide creeping steadily up until at 1.35 o'clock it was level with the top of the gap. A workman seized a shovel and made small trench through which a Till of water trickled Gradually it wid- ened, until an hour later a raging tor rent, with 35 foot fall poured through an opening 400 feet wide into that part of the canal between Gamboa dike and Miraf1ores locks, which had previously been exeavated by steam shovels,

STAFFORD MILL BURNED
 IN AN INCENDIARY FIRE.
Faulkner Woolen Plant Destroyed Early Sunday Mornin ng-$eo, 900 Loss.
(Snecial tn The R,llletir

Especial to The Bulletin)
 Stafford Springs, Aug. 31.-The Faulkner wooden mill was totally de- stroyed by fire about 4 o'clock this morning. The damage is estimated at $s0 900. and l90 hands are thrown out of employment. The mill was owned by the Middle River Manufacturing company and was operated by Fred erick Faulkner, the output consisting of dress goods, suitings and overcoat- ings. The plant consisted of a three story stone building, a three story wooden building and small office building. The loss Is covered by in- surance.
 When the fire broke out a hurry call was sent to the volunteer hose com pany in the borough. and although they made a quick response the fire had gained such headway that they were unable to cope with the flames. The water pressure, which is usually excellent, failed to work well and this also handicapped the firemen. Several of the walls of the plant fell in during the day. but no one was injured.
 The origin of the fire is believed to have been incendlary, as it was found burning at opposite ends. The woolen mill had been in the hands of a re- ceiver since last April.
