DUKE'S HALKYN ESTATE. COTTAGERS' GARDEN SHOW. (By Our Own Reporter.) Ihe cottagers on the Duke of Westminsters Halkyn Castlo estate (Flintshire) held their an- nual garden show on Thursday, and it proved a. distinct success. The weather was fortu- nately, on the whole, fairly good. The morn- ing was rather st< my, rain falling heavily, and the wind I-Ae- strongly. As the time for the opening of X show approached, however, the sun burst through the heavy banks of oloude and shone at frequent intervals, though there were short, ebtrp showers. The show was held in the Halkyn Vastle grounds, in close proximity to the modern castle erected by the late Marquis of Westminster on the summit of Halkyn "Mountalii." Tbe situation is most picturosquo and pleasant. The castle and the lawns are surrounded by the picUiest of woods, and between the trees the observer catches glimpsee of tho surrounding country, which is to be seen for miles around. At the foot Flint, Cotmali'e Quay, etc., nestle, and the broad estuary of the Do forms aai imposing piotute, with wooded WiITal in the distance. The show itself attracted excellent exhibits, and though it has been held only a few years, theie was evi- denoe that it was giving a stimulus to cottage horticulture. The growers have, as elsewhere, had to contend with an aciverss season, which has played havoc with the plants and vegetables. Still their exhibits were oreditahle. The ten- ants of the estate and others turned up in large numbers, and thoroughly enjoyed the attrao- tions. During the afternoon and evening sports wero held, while several horse racing and jump- ing evejits were also decided. The Halkyn brass band discoursed selections during the afternoon, and in tho evening played for dado- ing. Among those who attended WClie Mrs. Trevor Eyton, the Misses Tate, Clanon Morris and party, the Rev. and Mrs. A. J. M. Groan, the Rev. and Mrs. Arman Eilis, the Rev., Mrs. and the Misses Thomas (Holywell), the Rev. and Mrs. R. Aii-i,-dith Edwaids (Brynford), Mrs. and Miss Francis (Old Ihll), Capt. and Mrs. J. L. Fra acia Mrs. and the Misses E!kington, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Taylor. Mrs. Lloyd-Prioa, and the Rev. W. Bourne Joues (Mostyn).

I BELFAST RIOT; I RENEWED DISTURBANCE. I 22 POLICEMEN INJURED. Wild eoenes of riot and disorder occurred in Belfast on Sunday, in which a mob numbering several thousands, who had probably been incited by speeches at the afternoon's strike meetings, opposed the police in a Nationalist quarter of the town. Property was extensively damaged for use as we a peons, and paving stones were used as missiles. The police had to make baton charges again and again. Twenty-two policemen were injured. The military were sent for and came in great force, Dragoon Guam., and infantry having to charge the infuriated crowd, the infantry having to use their bayonets. Women were among the crowd. One soldier was injured, as were many rioters, five of whom were arrested. The city was visited on Saturday by Sir Antony MacDonnell, Permanent Under-Secretary for Ireland, who interviewed the Lord Mayor and a number of merchants and police officials. Sir Antony visited the docks and quays in order to see for himself the congested state of the traffic there and the necessity for the special measures which have been taken by the Government for the protection of life and property in the city. The Manchester Trades Council io to be invited to express its opinion upon the steps that have been taken to quell the Belfast riotere. A notice of motion on the agenda paper enters a protest "against the action of the authorities in packing Belfast with eoldiers armed with ball cartridge to assist the employers in defeating the Belfast dock workers," and caUs upon them to at once withdraw "this armed garrison." I MOB FIRED ON. A NIGHT OF RIOT. KILLED AND WOUNDED. The troops in Belfast on Monday night fired enx rounds on the mob. several people, it. is believed, being- killed and many wounded. The city is in so uncontrollable and riotous a oto-to that, it is almcst impossible to say what. the actual extent of the casualties is. One report states that four mein, one woman, and a boy were killed, and that three otJler criteial cat'A were in hospital. It is officially an- nounced, however, that two persons at least were killed and five seriously wounded, lliiany ir.,en of the Royal Sussex Regiment also being badly injmr?d. The young military officer who was struck on the head by a bottle on ?vho day night is dying Scenes of unparalled ex- citement were witnc,;ced, the police barracks betng wrecked, and charge after charge being made with the bayonet. The rioting began about six o'clock tbol crowd making a savage attack on two oon- stables, one of whom is said to have been kilted, and then besieging Cullingjtreo.road Police Barracks. Every window was wreokod. The 3rd Dragoon Guards cleared the ercwd away, but they returned to the assault. The infantry then charged with bayonets, cap fa r- ing 30 prisoners, nearly all of whom wore wounded Many others in the crowd who escaped were also wounded. Another report, which is confirmed, says one woman was fatally shot by the fire of the troops, and the injured and wounded numbered hundreds, the hospitals being full. It appears that earlier in the night the magistrate was obliged to read the Riot Act, and it was alter this the soldiers fired. The mob directed a terrible fuailade of stones anl bottles against the police amd military, who replied with three volleys and repeated bayonet charges. Batches of prisoners were late on Monday night conducted to the police* court at the bayonet point. Many had been batoned, a.nd some had bandaged heads and bloody faoas4 PEACE RESTORED. I TROOPS WFrl-IDRAWN. I A great change cams over Belfast on Tues- day night. In the morning the demeanour of the crowds in the Fa-Hs-road district sug-gested that in the evening there would be a resumption lof rioting. There were open threats of ven- geance for those killed. "A inan for a man" one man was heard to shout; "We a.re not finished yet, as the Saxons will find." "Are you an officer of the Berkshire Regiment?" demanded another, "because if you are we can finish you off here." It was scarcely safe for a stranger to venture into the district, and the soLdiers and the police moved about in groups. But at night all was quiet. During the day Sir Antony MacDonnell had- returned] to Bel- fast, and. it is stated, he urged the city autho- rities to dispense with the soldiers. He was supported by the action of a deputation of leading residents of the disturbed district who waited on the Lord Mayor, the Ea.rl of Shaftes- bury, and asked that. the military s,hond be withdrawn from the streets that night. Tliey undertook to uoo their utmost endea-vours to prevent fresh disturbances. The decision come to wae that both t he soldiers and tho constables should be withdrawn from the streets in the ovening, and that the district should be left iu the conti-ol of the Catholic clergy and magis- trates. This course was followod and the, quiet was unbroken. Mr. Haldane read in the House of Commons on Tuesday despatcheR from Brigadier-General Daw-on. The Brigadier- General speaks highly of the forbearance and discipline of the soldiers, a.nd gives the mili- tary casualties in the several disturbances as follows:—Saturday, noon: Two officers alid ten non-commissioned officers of the Berkshire &-gim-nt cut about the head with missiles. Sunday night: Second Lieutenant Passingham, Middlesex Regiment, and 17 non-commissioned dffioors and men under medical treatment. Monday night: Casualties 15, only three seri- ous. THE KILLED AND INJURED. The list of killed has now been increased to three, namely — Maggie I/ennon, 22, single woman, 52, Con- way street. shot through both thighs. Charles M'Mullan, of 47, Conway-?treot. iron turner, shot through the lungs and died fifteen minutes la.t0f in a house in Ross-streat. Charles Kelly, no address obtainable, but bc- lieved to be a lodger in Norfolk-street. The following are given as wounded:- Ernest J. M'Cormiek, 17, of 31, Leeson-strcet, fractured thigh caused by gunshot. Hugh Delany, of 21, Linden-street, gunshot wound. Patrick M'Kenna, 32, of 6, Panton-street. gunshot wound to the thigh; very dangerously injured. The two former are in the Royal Victoria Hospital and tho two latter at the Mat.ar In- firmorum Hospital. They were reported to be progressing favourably. Of course this list leaves ont of account altogether the long list of minor casualties which have-- filled: the local infirmaries and the* regimental hospitals to overflowing. Those patients include policemen, soldiers and rioters. I FUNERAL OF VICTIMS. I FUND TO BE OPENED. The funeral of two of tho victims of the rioting—Maggie Lennon and Chas. MoMullan —took place at the loc-al cemetery on Wednes- day amid impoeing demonstrations of popular aympathy. During the morning the inquest was opened, at which it was stated that no trace could be found of Charles Kelly, who was reported to have been killed. It is be- lieved that the report of his death was er- roneous. The piroceedingr, at the inquest were merely formal, and it was adjourned for a week There were, however, many expres- sionc, of "jymp&thy with the friends of the two victims. The foreman of the juiry said he understood that a fund was to be opened as a sort of recompense to the friends of the man and woman, and Sir Antcny MacDonnell had consented to head the list. Father Con- nery, the parish priest, was present, and the Coroner complimented him on the way he and his brother priests had succeeded in keeping the people in order cHuring the previous even- ing. All the mills in the city ceased' work at one 4clock, and over fiv|> thousand people followed the ooffins to the graveside, while the mile long icute from the street in which both Lenncn and McMullam lived to the oemetory was lined with spectators. The ooffins were carried by members of the crowd, the two hearsee which had been provided head- ing the procession empty. Faifheir Conncry and several other Roman Catholic clergymen took part in the brief service* at the cemetery Nbfc a soldier or a potkieman was in. sight during- tho afternoon All day long on Wednesday a conference was sitting endeavouring to bring about a sttlement of the labour trouble. Those taking pro-t in it wetre Sir Antony MacDonnell, the Right Hon. Alec M. Carlisle, Mr. Aakwit.h and Alderman Mitchell, of tlie Board of 'JDrade, Mr. Gee, of the General Federation of Trades Unions, Mr. Arthur Henderson, M.P., the Labour party's Whip, Mr. J. Sexton, general secretary of the Dockets' Union, and others. Late in the evening Sir Antony MacDonnell stated that although, the regotialions had not been completed, they were progressing in a Tranner which was quite satisfactory. I GOVERNMENT "HOPEFUL." I In the House of Commons on Wednesday, Mr. Pete Cbt,rw asked Mr. Birrell if he had any further information to lajy beifloro tiro Houoe with regard to the condition of things in Belfast. "I am glad to be able to report that news I haw just received says la,st night was a quiet night in Belfast," replied M'.r. Birrell. "I am assured that things are looking well this morning. The reprec^enfawrw' of too Boaa-d of Trade have arrived and are now busily engaged in holding conferences. A spirit of hopefulness prevails which I hope will be justified." Mr. H F Luttreil, M.P., has given a notice of a question, to the Irish Secretary asking whether water oould not be used, instead of firing bullets, as at Belfast, in the event of the necessity of dispersing a mob. Mir. Duttrell Í6, of course, referring to the possibility of turning- fire hoses on the crowd. It has been used with great effect in dispers- ing unruly Chinese mobs in Johannesburg. I THE STRIKE ENDED. Belfast carters' strike was declared at an end on Thursday evening, as a result of the negotia- tione for settlement which had proceeded during the past few days. The masters accepted with slight amendment the proposals of the men's j representatives. The freedom of the employers; as to persons whom they employ is admitted. The men are to cart to and from any ship, rail- way, place, or firm when directed by employers or foreman. The wages are to be for teams 26s. per week, and when goods are loaded after work- ing hours, overtime at the rate of 6d. and 9d. per hour shall be paid. There are also numerous provisions as to spoilsmen and beginners and stable and yard men. The strikers unanimously accepted the agreement. Sir Antony Mac- Donnell, Under-Secretary of State, speaking later at a master's meeting, said he was satisfied that they had accepted termt" which would entail temporary financial loss. The merchants of the country would treat liberally the Belfast master carriers, who had acted in a manner that had won his admiration and esteem. Votes of thanks to Sir Antony, Mr. Askwith, Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Gee were passed by masters and men.

RECKLESS MOTORING. » —— PETITION TO PARLIAMENT. A petition to Parliament on the evils caused by motor-car driving is being organised by the Highways Protection League. The petition sets out:— That the reckless and inconsiderate conduct of many of the owners and drivers of motor vehicles on the public highways has of late canted many aocidents involving low of life or personal injury, and has aleo seriously affected the health and comfort of very many persons lawfully using the said highways and of persons residing or carrying on business near thereto, and has depreciated their property, and that in other cases like grievances have been occa- sioned by the faulty construction of motor vehicles, and that these grievances arc daily increasing and no adequate remedy therefor is provided by the existing law. Wherefore your petitioners humbly pray that your honour- able house will be pleased to take eUldh action as may seem fit in order to redress the said grievanoee and to ensure the safety and welfare of hie Majesty's subjects in respect of the I matters aforesaid."
