On the whole this great mass was orderly. It contained many women, evidently of the strikers' families, but no children. Just before halt-past two, a small riot developed on Market . Street. just east of the City Hall Park, around a man who was drunk. Trolley Pulled Off. At five and twenty past two a street car passing on Main Street only made its way through the crowd amidst conâ€" i tinual booing and with great difficulty, i, the trolley several times being pulled off the line. Evidently regarding the whole thing as a circus, a great stream of citizens in their automobiles passed at this critical moment up and down Main Street, by no means adding to. the good feeling of what was fast de- veloping into an angry mob. Sharp at half-past two the word passed along. the crowd gathered in the wide thor- oughfare of Main Street on each side of the car tracksâ€"“fall in." At that very moment Portage Avenue car No. 596 approached from the north, about half-full of passengers, mostly‘ women and children. As it reached Market Street it was greeted by a roll- ing roar of booing, its trolley was pulled on the line, and some stones were thrown. Women and children; got out of the car and dispersed among the crowd, so far as it is known, un- hurt. The conduct’or and motorman remained in their car; the trolYey cord having been cut, it remained a fix- ture at what immediately was to be-' come a scene of battle. l Mounted Police Charge. Almost simultaneously with this,l the cry went out from the crowd: f “Here comes the bloody soldiers,” and around the corner of Main Street from k the south, opposite the Union,Bank,} swept a single line of red-coated Royal Northâ€"West Mounted Police. They, covered the whole street from gutter, to gutter, dividing as they passed the: derelict car. Immediater an angry cry was heard from the mob and an' occasional missile was thrown at the: passing soldiers. A hundred yards; behind this first rank came a second rank of khakiâ€"clad horsemen, said by‘ the crowd to be members of the| Strathcona Horse, and the Fort Garryi Horse, but afterwards stated by Alder-f man Gray to be Royal North~West Mounted policemen returned from the front, to whom had not been issued the ‘ well-known scarlet tunic. The mob surged in on the flanks of the horse- men and a free throwing of bricks,‘ bottles and any other available missâ€"l iles began, many of the horses and; men being struck. They rode on. how- ever, north several blocks and then af- ter a short interval returned again: with drawn truncheons, and, dividing up into columns of for); on each side: of the street, sought to drive the 'mob ' back onto the sidewalks. From alleyways nearby bricks had! been torn up and hurled at the backs ; of the horsemen. As they‘ divided to pass the street car the in-T evitable happened.

He was intercepted and carried back a little way out of sight, up William Ave. Then followed the shooting. Almost immediately a party of Royal North West Mounted .Police (lashed to the rescue, the men with their revolvers drawn, and in columns of four. As seen from the other side of Main Street they debouched into City Hall Park, immediately in front of its steps. “They are firing “They have only blank cartridges," said~anothcr. The effect was elec- trical. The dense throng in front of the City Hall ran frantically across Main Street. and buried themselves ‘in lanes and alley-ways, forcing their way into the small hotels that abound thereabouts. Men who no doubt had war exper- ience threw themselves flat into the The shooting took'place ex- actly fifteen minutes after the first appearance of the mounted men, 'at a quarter to three by the City Hall clock. And two or three minutes latâ€" er City Hall square, and the wide ex- panse of Main Street was deserted. Across this waste of asphalt were brought the bodies of the casualties, by men who had been with them when they fell. These were placed in Thomson’s Undertaking Parlor. By three o’clock in the afternoon several policemen with drawn truncheons were marching over the ,now empty scene of the battle where yet the street car burned. At half past three commissioned officers attached to Military District _No. 10 addressed the crowd at the corner of Portage Avenue and Main Street, advising that the Riot Act had been read and that the city is now under martial law, and therefore every one should go home. Nevertheless Main Street was still badly congested and the fire brigade was turning on their hose to clear the crowds from the tops of the sur- rounding buildings. Armored cars with machine guns and troops at the “stand-to” were being held in reserve at the princi- pal strategic points of the city. Thirty~six hours ago the returned soldiers favoring the strikers’ cause held a. mass meeting just back of the City Hall. Some four or five thousâ€" and persons were present, of whom a good proportion had the right to wear the returned soldiers' button. Then it was that the idea of the “Massed, silent parade,” was sug- gested. It was stated by Comrade Martin, that such a demonstration had been very successful in North Britain. The proposal was favorab- ly received. .â€"â€"_A_ ITALIAN CABINET RESIGNS FOLLOWING ADVERSE VOTE A despatch from Rome sayszâ€"The Italian Government resigned on 'Thursday following an adverse vote against it in the Chamber of De- puties.
