TIIOITIU.K WITH STUIKIIIIS.

LONDO Sept 11.—Theriots in Southampton Wednesday were the most serious that have occurred in England for many years. The police were utterly unable to grapple with the trouble and two companies of infantry wero oqually powerless until they had freely used the bayonet on several of tho strikers and were supplied with ball cartridges. The attempts to break tho lino of the soldiers by a furious charge of a number of men mounted on cab horses showed groat courage, but little knowledge of their own soldiers. Only once or twice in history has a line of British soldiers been broken by a charge of cavalry, but these unarmed and untrained men thought thoy could atvomplish tho feat by a blind rush of a few old colts ridden barebacked. Nearly all the strikers who took part in this folly wero badly hurt The resort to violence has alienated much public sympathy from them. Tho strikers telegraphed to Michael Davltt and Cunningham Green to como to their assistance. The Times has an editorial bitterly denouncing Home Secretary Matthews for failing to suppress disorder on the part of striking work-lng-meti. Tho article declared that tho Secretary Is by his weakness training the working classes to believe that tho Government will not prevent them from indulging in riot and bloodshed. Tho dockers of London and Dublin are combining, tho object of tho coalition bolng to inforce tho domands of tho dockers at tho latter port for better pay nnd treatment Tho chartering of stoamors by tho colonial governments to obtain coal from India for tbe gas works is the worst blow tbe Austra!,".i strikers have yet received. It hurts the minors as well as tho city strikers and con.:-.-Its the colonial governments against the si^ke.

Affairs are still menacing. More troops have been summoned to tho scene of tbe strike. A number of boato manned by the strikers aro laying out in the stream with a view of Intercepting incoming steamers and prevailing upon their crowR to strike. T'ho ndmlrality has been asked by the local authorities to assist in preventing this now move. Eight of the strikors have been arrested for rioting. The mayor's house was threatened by the mob and he at once telephoned for soldiers, who Instantly responded.

Sevontoen more arrests of strikers have been made. Posters issued by the mayor urging the men toromain in their houses woro angrily seized by the mob and dostroyoiL Business in this placo has become paralyzed.

Tho employers held meeting and subsequently ssued a hand-bill promising ovory protection to mon returning to work. Tho union submitted a pror posal for an advance in waftos, undertaking not to ask a furthof increase for two yoars to come. Tho employers, however, declined to accept tho condition that no non-union mon should be omployed.
