c£= BIOTIN C IN TO RONTO. 1,400 Militia Called Out to Preserve Order. A despatch from Toronto says: The attempt ol' the Street Railway Company to rviu cars on Sunday mornint5 resulted in rioting in sev- eral portions of the city. Several men were injureil and eight rioters were arrested. Tlio cars, with win- dows broken and the floors covered with bricks and stones, were run back into the burns, and no further attempts were made by the com- pany to establish a service. The whole police force was on duty 17 hours out of the 24. The men snatched a few hours of sleep while in the station houses by Ij'ing around the floors and benches. Twenty mounted men were on duty. It was a complete tie-up of the system. The non-union workmen and conductors were handled rough- ly in many cases. Two left a car over the Don and were pursued by a mab for a mile. About the King street barn there were scenos of great disorder. An attempt to rush the barn, where a number of imported men were kept locked up, was contemplated, but a big posee of police saicceeded in removing the men to the York- ville barn in the police patrol. The patrol was followed by a howling mob of strike sympathizers'. Harry Webb had an order to sup- ply bread and pastry to the cni' barns. The contract was di.scon- tinued on Sunday, and the company had to look elsewhere for the means of sustaining their imported men. . FIVE CAUS WERE STALLED. The pivot of the strike trouble was in the East Knl. Long before 8 o'clock a large crowd collected in front of the King street baras at the . corner of St. Lawrence street, and awaited the appearance of the liraL Car. The crowd was made up, not of the rowdy elomcat as might bo expected, but workingmen employed in lOast End factoi-ies. As time went on their niunbers were increa.s- ed by scores of people, who camo forth from all parts of the city. One of the eai'liest on the scene wa? John Argue, one of the company's roadmasters, who came about 7 o'clock. Following him came W. H. Moore, private secretary to Pi'e- Siident Mackenzie, in a hack, accom- punied by eight strike-breakers, who had been tjuarteretl at the Albion Hotel. Their appearance wa-s the signal for hoots and cat calls from the crowd. They were escorted to the barns by police without mishap. RUN A CAR OUT. It was just a little after 8 o'clock when tlie barn doors were opened and car No. 878 manned by Motor- man Whitehead, one of the oldc.st employes of the road, was ready tu come out. No sooner were the doors thrown back tlian a mi.ssile cra.sjied through Uie vestibule win- dow, striking Whitehead. The mo- tornian turned on the power an^l the car started on its way. It had not reached the Don bridge before evcrv ^vindow was broken. Whiteheiid continued to run his car, protected by six policemen, who were also on the front platform. The car got though to the Woodbine, and on reaching tha.t point it waf run on the Woodbine avenue switch iind de- serted. WhiN/ijetid \';t\\ his coiiducfc- or took lo tiie woods, closely fo!> lowed by the crowd, who showerc^i stones and eggs at the Uceiiig men. Mftci.n minutes later car No. 866 was started from the bams and it met with similar ti'ealmont. This caj" Was manned by Motorman .James Quigley, who for many years has been on the Winchester street route. This oar proceeded to the VVoo<l- bine. where it was also run on the switch and deserted. SIX CARS TAKEN OUT. It was a sullen, discontented crowd that gathered in ihe n.;i;;hlH>r- hood of the Yorkville barn. '^I'he e.\- dtement ran high, and had it not been for the presence of a strong body of police, under the couunand of the insjjeclor of the diviaion. it is hard to say what damage might not have been done. As it was, several cars had their windows de- molished, and it was a won<ler that tho."* in charge of thcni were not seriously injured by tlic flying missiles. NOTIFYING THE SOLDIEUS, Col. Buchan ssild ho had been con- sulted by the Police Commissioners during the day, nnd had come to the conchision that if a military force was to be u.«ted for this strike, it would be n\ost ©fltective to have It n. strong force, and. tiiw'eforc, he had decideici that 1.4.00 men would not be too many to effect the di!- sired object. He saiti that the cjiv- »lry would be brought from Niagara eamp, because (lavnlry men would be the mo."st effective. Ho wii'^ not â- ure whether Col. I.essard. who has charge of the cavalry camp. w»uld kccompany them. The arrmi.nements for the feeding and fjuartering of The soldiers depended ,i lot mi circum- stances, but for the present the Armouries will be Ihi-ir hcudqiiar- ters. The cnvalry ond horses will likely be (jvartercd at the Exhibi- tion Oroimda. Before 6 o'clock the striker.* com- menced to gather. and n half an hour later there was a good sized mob. which was being stcadtty aug- Dicnled every minute The police ar- rived about this time and were quidkly distributed to the best ad- vantage. At 6.28 the first car left the shod with Itoadmaster Blight acting as motorman, and one of the company's regular men as conduc- tor. Tlie crowd hooted and yelled "saib," "traitor," "Judas," and such lilie epithets, but attempted no violence. .Several policemen were on the car, which ran down Yonge street to the Empress Hotel, at the corner of Oould street, where several men were picked up and taken back to the sheds. When- the car reached the doors derisive cries greeted it and its occupants. ON DUNDAS STREET. A large crowd of stri'kers and sym- pathizers assembled in front of the barns at the corner of Uundas street and Howard Park avenue early Sun- day morning. Dave Kerney, road- master on the Dundas division, took a car out of the barns and brought up seven men in street railway uni- forms who had been engaged in Kiiigaton and Ottawa. The men were hustled towards the sheds, but before the.y reached the door strikers got hold of them, and in a few words explained the situation. Four of the men refused to go into the barns, and were taken by the strik- ers to the Central Committee rooms, where, they said they had been in- duced to come to Toronto upon the i-epresentation that the Street Rail- way Company wanted men to take the place of those who had been prosecuted for tampering with the I faro boxes. The others got inside ' the shed before the strikers had an opportunity to talk wi'h them, and once inside the ooors were closed and three policemen kept guard out- side. Retwcen 10 o'clock and noo.. the croWil grew from two or three hundred to nearly as many thousand and the arrival of more policemen gave the impression that a car was about to be run. The fare box, tickoLs and change were given out to one 01 the new conductors, but he handed them back and refused to lake the car out. About 1 o'clock a hack drove up with the food for the imprisoned men ; but an inti- mation fiom the strikers that they were currying a contraband of war and ^\'ould be severely dealt with if they did not surrender, induced the men to turn their norses around and dri\o away with the grub pile. About 12.10 a hack, precedou by two mounted jjolicemen, driven by a cab driver seated beside P. C. Welsh, and containing a policeman in charge of the provisions, concealed by a big rug. rode up. The mounted men cleared the crowd away, but mis- siles flew freely, and the cab man was put out of btisincss by a stone striking him in the face. When the rig cajnc out half an hour later, it was driven by the police, and rattled away amidst a fusilade of stones. ON THE liELT LINE. W. H. Moore, secretary to the president of the Street Railway Company, was nit with a missile at the corner of Q,ueen and Spadina avenue, about 9.30 a.m. He had undertaken to run a car from the Yorkville barn around the lielt Line, down Spadina. All along the wuy bricks and stones were hurled o i iho car. and- one of then) came tlirn'jjh <hu \esliuule window i^;;-1 was planted fairly on the ,^ide of Mr. Moore's face. Mr. W<>or<; ru.shed the car through without wasting much time, and ran it into the North Toronto barns. The car was manned by two of the company's old euiployecs, two detectives and live or six police. Mr. Moore has his face in bandages. NEWS EAGERLY AWAITED. Throughout the day men from other bains kept the strikers posted upon what was going on. These couriers were eagerly awaited and soon gathered Immense throngs around them. The news that the boarder."; had packed u|i their trunks u-nd left Yorkshire Johnson's, whilst ho himself had been forced to make a hasty exit from, a Uelt Line car, was hailed witli cheer upon cheer, and the next mcfsage, that White- bead had been chased from n King street car into the Uoy, ga e cause lor more rejoicing. It was like read- ing bulletin.s on the night of an elec- tion, in which the whole crowd were on the winning side. It was 8.80 befoi-e a patrol waggon, precedoi\ by two mounted policemen, took away the nou-uuion men. who, in the early morning had been brought to OFieratG the cais. The tmtrol waggon passed through a fusilade of missiles from' th« car barns to Lansdownc avenue. CAN'T USE FIREARMS. , A number of the imported men made encpiiries from the police le- garding the use of firearms in this country. They came from the United States, und wore under the impres- sion that they could carry weapons to defend themselves. The police hud instructions to warn every man that it was not only an offence to iiso them but to carry them. THE STRIKE SETTLED. Monday morning. â€" The Street Rail- way strike is practically over. At seven o'clock tliis morning Messrs. Flavelle and Ames, who had been acting a."» intermediaries between the Railway Conij>i>ny und the men, and had held a twelve hours' sc.<^on in conference with tlio men's commdltee and the Railway Company, reported tJiat cverytliing was looking towards a satisfactory settlement of the strike. They would meet again during the day, when it is conddent- ly expected by boUi sides that u, settlement will be reached. Mr. Jnnies McDonald, local or- ganizer of tlie union, stated that the question of wages and recognition of the union had been setJled. He (ur- thor stated that there was just a. trivial matter to be agreed upon, and was confident the cars would be in operation during the after- noon or evening. CATTLE FOR THE BOERS, First Shipment Is Made rrom. Fort Worth, Texas. A Fort Worth, Texas, despatch says: One of the most coniprolien- sive deals in Texas cattle, and one which will have the most far-reach- ing elTect upon the future of the cat- tle industry in Texas, had its ini- tiative in the shipment of sixty head of Texas cattle from Pensacola, Florida. The shipment is intended as the first of many thousands to be used in restocking the depleted veldts of South Afi-ica. Walter Do S, Maude was at one time a member of the 7Sth High- landers, later the owner ol the Moon rancli in the Texas handle, later a lieutenant in a British regi- ment in the Boer War, and at pre- sent holding a major's commission in the British ai-my. Ricliaa-d Car-- row, tlie other member of the lirm that made the shipment, is owner of the Windhorst ranch in Clay County. It is understood that those two gentleanen have a con- tract to supply the British Govern- ment with young breeding cattle .in South Africa. The shipment from Pensacola con- sisted of bulls and heifers, high grades and pure bloods, none of which were over three years old. They were purchased at various points in Texas in small lots, so as to avoid suspicion, and were shipped from Pensacola for tlie same reason, the Boer war not being over at the time the vessel was charter- ed. Should this initial .shipment turn out well, it ii; the purpose of Messrs. Maude and Carrow to fol- low it with others, each agfcregating 10,000 head. The point of debark- ation will be Natal, and the point of shipment in this country will 'be Galveston. A regular line of- steam- ers will be put on. nnd the move- ment is expected to continue unt^il .'iO.OOO head have been sent to South AfriCii,. By virtue of the regulations cstab- lis.hed by tlie British Government, the whole of the shipment from Pensacola v.cre inoculated' for tuber- culosis before embiu'kation. WALTER GORDON HANGED. Paid Penalty of Double Murder This Morning. A Brandon, Man., despatch says: Walter Gordon was hanged on Fri- d.iy morning at 8.05. Life was ex- tinct in 13 minutes. The execution was carried out without a hitch. The doomed man walked to tlie scaffold accompanied by his spiritual advis.- er and jail efflcinl^•, without the faintest sign of fear. Gordon sat up on Thur.sday night till about 2 a. m., spending the lime in quiet conversation and pray- er with the Rev. Wra. Henry. At .? o'clock he lay down for a aleep, land ?.'.. ;.)aies appeared v-rr-.^r ,est- iess. He was up at (j. dressing hinn- self without the slightest trace of nervousness. At 7 o'clock he breakfasted, eating sparingly of some ham, toast, and strawberries, and drintung a cup of strong tea. After breakfast Radclive put in an appearance, and Gordon sliook hands with him briefl.v. By that lime it was about 8 o'clock, and Goi-don was miulc ready for the fili- al proceedings. At 8 o'clock the solemn procession started for the EcalToId. Gordon murdered a fai'mer iinnied Ed. Daw, at Whitowater, near Bois- scvain, Man., on July 31, 19O0, and on the following day shot and killed Ja.Ke Smith, a partner of Haw. He threw both bodies into a well on the farm. The re.-ison for the crime was tltal (Gordon had arranged to purchase Daw's farm, but when the llino came for conii)leting the baj-- gain, he lacked the money.

A Loudon despatch says: The principal speaker at the dinner Tuesday night of the New Zcaland- ers in London was R. J. Seddon. Prime Minister of that colony. Ho declared that there was no fear oj Great Britain offending foreign na- tions if she made reciprocal trade arrangements with her colonies. Ho warned England tliut s.lic must face the prediction of Mr. Shaw, the American Secretary of the 'rrea.9ury. that the United States would nrest the mastery of the Tacific from the British. This was a groat danger. Mr. .Seddon declared thnt the inhab- itants of New Zealand would sooner wear cotton prints from Eiiglaacl than American. The Imports of New Zealand from Aancrica lasrt year amounted to $5,000,000. Tha import.^ had increased five times siiicc 1808.
