LONDON, January- 15th. It is a good indication of the trend of opinion here that Mr. A. J. Cook, the notorious Secretary of the Miners: Federation, who was in the limelight during the coal strike, makes no more impression than a damp squib. He has returned from In visit to Moscow, where he was feted by the Soviet Government and treated like an illustrious visitor.

There were a large number of Chiness in the house when the police entered. Some of the men get away, but 34 were arrested and produced before Mr. Bull, in the Second Police Court.

When the arrests was made, Mr. Nicol told His Worship, there was a crowd of about 800 Chinese out pah and aide. They called out
