There were the usual manifestations in the streets, mostly near the Place Repablique, by gangs of youths who were without the slightest connexion with any trades nava organisation and disowned by Labour leader They stoned a few trains, omnibusra and policemen, some using revolver. Tas passers-by were illed However, though the railway strike is a failure, the tieneral Labour Confederation will send strike orders to the seamen, dockers and miner So far as the miners are COD- cerned the outlook looks bright, the workers having just received satisfaction of their latest demand

DECIMAL SYSTEM REJECTED.
£ AND PENNY ESSENTIAL.
By a majority the Royal Comm- mission which has been inquiring into the matter have decided against the adoption of the de- cimal system of coinage by England.
"In. our opinion," say the majority of the Commission, "a large part, including the least ins- tructed portion of the community, reckons its income in terms of shillings and pence, and we are satisfied it is idle to expect that the public would readily accept the disturbance created by the interference with their habits and the basis of their established notions of value by a change far which they have expressed no desire, and which will not benefit them except in so far as they keep accounts.]

Periment.
