In one case they overpowered the police and drove the men away. They also set tire to part of a vessel’s cargo. First Blood Shed. The timrt blood shed during the strike happened thin alteruoon, when Joien Lavoie. one ot the nitrit- tt longehoremen, was shot in aeitu do ence by William Quinn, .tbrmtbtr- ter tor News. Fernee, etevedoree. Mr. Fernee and a gang ot non-union men were working on the Alexan- dria, when a gang ot striker. made an attempt to rush the chip. Mr. Ferns. kept the crowd hack at the point of a revolver. Finally quiet was restored. Mr. Fez-nee. accom- panied by Quinn, started to go up to the city. They had not gone far when they were met by a big crowd at the strikers. Words led to blows. Quinn drew his pistol and shot La- Tole, one ot the crowd, in sell-defence. Quinn shot three times, hut only one Ihot took effect. Another moment and the moi: was after Quinn. The police rescued him and placed him under arrest, bringing him to the Central Po.iee Station. Lavoie was taken to the hospital, where his wound. which was stated to he not carious. was dressed. After this at- tray the strikers swept on towards the Carrignn Head, where eighteen men were. at work on the vessel. The mob attempted to storm the cangway, hat here they were met Ar. the cuptaln and oilicere ot the the deck. The men then fell back. During the attack one ot the men worming on the Carrignn Head, u. Bilodeau. was knocked into insensi- hmty by the crowd. drip, who; " With Leveled Revolvers. onlored the mob back. There was . moment’s hesitation. “I'll shoot. the um man who steps on that sangway.” the captain thundered trom the deck. The crowd tell back. A volley of stones whistloJ across Crowd Grew Noisy. The scenes on the wharves to-day were ot a turbulent description.

Fremona, Unspen- ian, ot Utuuva. and Cameron. and a number or big ocean liners are ex- pected to arrive within the next tew hours. An attempt will be made to unload the vessels by non-union men under the protection ot the troops, but as We strikers are ln an ugly mood eel-ions trouble is feared. In the present temper ot the men it would take very little to precipitate a ser- iou- riot. appeared to be no haste about be- ginning- work on board, but between eight and nine, a tow policemen hav- ing been stationed on each whorl.

The main part or the police force on duty Was concentrated at this point, and they were able to keep miliclcnt W9 vacant to enable the work to New. The men at work were perhaps not extra expert. but they got on very well until stopped. The Lake Cluunplain. with 150 men trom Liverpool. to replace strikers. arrived to port this evening.

Depututions representing the ship- ping men and the stevedores subse- quently waited on Mayor Cochrnne and demanded adequate protection. Tho police authorities said that they feared that they would be unable to cope with the strikers, and as the result ot the consultation the Mayor decided to call out the militia, which was done this afternoon. Non-union Men Carried Away. The men employed on the Sailcia and Alexandria worked until about hail-past two this atternoon, when they were forced to quit. The strik- ers induced many ot them to stop work by argument. but those who held out were seized as they came down the gungwuys and were car- ried away trom the ships.

There are many theories as to the cause ot the slide. Some declare that there was an eruption and that it shook the mountain sufficiently to start the rocks; others declare that the quality, or the rock being almost pure lime, the great heat of the last, week caused the snow to melt, and that the water worked in; way down into the lime. and slucked it, thus crummy: the start. Again, there are some who hold to the gas theory murals of the slide. In the “that! of titm lnnes were quietly sleeping Lines, his wife and three children. The house was over- turned three times, and yet the oc- cupants were practically uninjured. This was the only house caught in the slide in which the occupants survived.
