THE STRIKE AT SHANGRAI.

RIOT ON THE BUND.

A FOREIGN POLICEMAN MALTREATED.

SHANGHAI, April and.

The wheelbarrow coolles have manifested their disspproval of the increase of the wheel- barrow,tex in a practical way. Last evening they bebaved la most lotous fashion at the Peking Road Bridge, sticking up ricksha coolles carrying parcels refused by barrow men, over- turalng ibels vehicles and pitching their contents. into the road and maltreating the coolles. Some half a dozen of them were arrested last night by the Louza Police and brought up at the Mixed Court, by Inspector Wilson, where they were sentenced to five days' impilsonment this morn fog,

This afternoon about geo wheel-barrow mon crossed over the Yang-king-pang and assembled in a body opposite the Shanghai Club, whare, stretched across the razẽ, they at once hiscked all traffic, pedeatslan and wehicular. This stxto of things did not last long as Constable Laurizon (a Scandinavian), who was on daty, at enca ordered the men to disperse. This they were not inclined to do, and accordingly the constabls two of the most caught hold of one rowdy and began to push them along, asing his baton as a persuader. Immediately be was set upon and kuacked down by the mob, which by this time was reinforced by a great number of coolies and other native onlookers. The constable was 2005 ɑverpowered and the dread yell of Ta? Ta roso above his crics for assistance. Bamboos sad ropes were used with unmerciful energy and the outlook became very serions for the policeman. All this was the work of an instant. About 20 or 30 members of the Shanghai Club-salled out, armed with no other weapons than these of Nature's providing, and started to kick and hammer the crowd and to rescue the policeman from his pertions situatian, which they happily succeeded in doing, but not without the cost of skinned kauckles, barked ships and other sundry abrasions, remedies for which for internal application only were fortunately kept at the Club. The policeman's helmet was stolen, and bis baton wrenched from" bis hands. He was very toughly handled, and but for the timely assistance from the Club, his Injuries might have terminated fatally.

Before the mob set upon him the constable telephoned to the Central Police Station for assistance, as the native constables were unable to deal with the mah. Assistance duly arrived when the fight was over, and Chief Inspector Howard and Inspector Matheson came up with a strong body of native polles, but, their services were not then required, for the men bad all cleared off.

Great praise is due to Laurson for the way he endeavoured to carry out his duty sgslast over whelming odds and to nip in the bad what looked at one fine very much like a terloun rising,

"It appears that the men went to the "Taota!

this morning and complained about the action of the Council in t creasing the tax wheelbarrows,

bat they apparently derived no satisfaction from that official. They wandered about the French Settle ment in gange grumbling and gesticulating, but otherwise doing no harm. But this afternoon they attacked some coollen who were carrying cargo and took their poles from them and knocked them about, and this was really the cause of the disturbance on the Bund.

To-day there was not a licensed wheelbarrow to be seen in the Settlement, yet over 6,000 are licensed, for which the mon pay $2 a month to hire.-Mercury.

MEMORANDA. TO-DAY-6th April

The question of international bimetallions will have early and exrnert attention. My constant endeavour will be to recure it by co-operation with other great commercial Powers. Until a condition I realized where the parity betwcon supported by, the zelalive vaine of the two our gaid and silver money springs from, and is metals, the value of allveraready coloed, and to be hereafter colred, must be kept on a par with 9.15 p.m.-Hudson Surprise Party at the City make all necessary arrangements for pelltion- gold by every resource,al command. The credii of the Government, the integrity of the currency, and the inviolability of obligations must be preserved. This was the commanding verdict of the people, and it will not be unheeded.

Mr. McKinley pointed out the necessity for an early settlement of the question of interna» tional arblirallon, giving his opinion upon it as below:-

Arbitration is the true method of settlement for international`at well as local or individual differences. It was recognized as the beat means for the adjustment of differences between employers and employed by the 49th Congress In 1886 and the application of the principle was extended to diplomatic relations unanimously by the Senate and House of Representatives of the $1st Congress In 1890. A later resolution was accepted as the basis of negotiations with the United States by the British House of Commoni la 1893, and upon our invitation & freaty of arbitration between the United States and Great Britain was signed at Washington, and transmitted to the Senate for ratification| In January last. Since this treaty is clearly the result of our own initiative, since it has been recognised as a leading feature in our foreign policy throughout our entire wational history

amely, the adjustment of difficulties by Judicial methods rather than force of arms, and since it presents to the world a glorious example of ling the relations between the two greatest nations season and peace, not passion and war, centrol. of the world, an example certain to be followed by others, I respectfully urge early action by the Senate thereon, not merely as a matter of policy. but as a daty to mankind. The importance and moral influence of the ratification of such treaties of advancing cyflisation, and may well engage can hardly be over-estimated in the cause

the best bought of statesmen and people of every country. I cannot but consider it fortunale that it was reserved to the United States to have the leadership lo so grand a work.
