BLOODY RIOTING BY IRISH STRIKERS HOBPITALS 80 CROWDED, MANY OF INJURED SENT TO THEIR HOMES. 400 PERSONS ARE HURT In Many Sections of the City Pitched Battles Occurred—Thirty Con atablea Injured. Dublin, Ireland.—Fierce rioting In connection with the tramway strike waa renewed. Hundreds of persons were Injured. All the hospitals are so crowded that many serious cases had to be sent to their homes for treatment. The strike committee, in the inter est of peace, had rescinded the call for a mass meeting in O'Connell street, and had substituted a parade from Beresford place to Croydon pafk, at Fairvlew, a suburb on the north side of the city. The authorities mean while had prohibited the mass meet ing. Croydon park belongs to the Trans port Workers' union, and a meeting was held t'rere without disorder. But on the return march attempts of the police by baton charges to disperse the constantly growing crowds led to rioting. The mob was further Incensed by the arrest of one of the strike leaders, James Larkln, against whom a war rant had been out for 24 hours. Lar kln was on the balcony of a hotel in Sackvllle street. He was woaring a disguise for the purpose of eluding arrest, but an enthusiastic admirer raised the cry, "Three cheers fpr Lar kln!" The police Immediately pounced upon him and violent scenes ensued. The rioting became general in vari ous parts 5 of the city. The police charged repeatedly with their sticks, and this led to pitched battles. Stones, brickbats and bottleß were hurled by the Infuriated rioters, and the streets were soon covered with prostrate forms. More than fifty arrests were made. The lord mayor announced his ln tentloq.of demanding: a public Inquiry Into the conduct of the police during the strike riots, and will send law of ficers of the corporation to attend the Inquests ov«r the two men who have died from their Injuries. PACAFIC WATERS IN CANAL Last Remainig Barrier Blown Out by Charge of Dynamite. Panama.—The last remaining harri er at the end of the Panama canal was blown out by dynamite. It wttß an intensely Interesting specta cle. At exactly 9:30 o'clock an elec tric switch was turned on and the 1,600 spectators. Including the Shrln ers visiting here from the United States and officers of tho British cruis er New Zealand, were rewarded by a wonderful sight. of tonß of mud and stone were thrown high In the air and the thunderous roar of the explosions re-echoed In the nearby hills. About twenty long tons, equivalent to 44,800 pounds, of 45 per cent, dyna mite constituted the blast, which was one of the largest ever set off In the canal. The charge, which was planted In 541 holes at an average deptli of 36 feet, tore a big gap In the barrier, but not to a sufficient depth to permit water to flow through, as the sea level channel was at low tide. Equally interesting as the explosion was the actual breaking of the barrier at the time, the title creeping stead ily up until It was level with the top of the gap. A workman seised a shovel and made a small trench through which a rill of water trickled. Gradually It widened, until an hour later a raging torrent, with a 35-foot fall, poured through an opening 400 feet Wide Into that part of the ca nal between Gamboa Dike and the Mlraflores locks, which previously had been excavated steam shovels. This cut, which Is 5,000 feet long, 800 feet wide, and 41 feet deep below mean sea level, was entirely filled by the time the waters of the Pacific laved for the first time the solid ma sonry of the Mlraflores locks.

Briefly, Pegoud caused his monoplane to describe a gigantic letter "S" In the sky during which he was flying upside down for about a quarter of A mile. The strictest secrecy was maintain ed prior to the test and only a few persons were present when Pegoud took the air. He mounted rapidly to a height of more than 3,000 feet, de scribing a curve; then the forward part of the machine was observed to incline towards the earth. Through glasses the spectators saw the pro peller and the monoplane further in cline until it was perpendicular with the earth. It seemed as if nothing could stop the headlong plunge. As the machine dropped swiftly the tall dipped again towards the earth and the pilot appeared head-downward. Seconds which seemed hours passed. With an almost imperceptible curve the machine shifted its course to a straight line, the pilot in the same position. How long he remained up side down the anxious watchers could not determine but it was long enough to cause them to believe that he would never right himself. Presently the machine dipped again and with a graceful curve assumed an erect position. Pegoud flew for a few minutes to and fro and descended by a series of beautiful spiralß. On landing the aviator said: "Everything went splendidly. The levers answered the slightest touch Weaknesa of Naval Station*.
