The strike of seamen in widely distant ports has been

comparatively feeble in its effects in this country. South- ampton was the worst spot in Great Britain. The Channel services thence were interrupted one night and there were threatenings of civil disorder. But throughout the country there seemed to be plenty of men who respect the agreement made in their name. In Australia summonses have been issued in Melbourne and Adelaide against large batches of strikers for disobeying their lawful orders. At Cape Town ships are still detained and the mails are delayed. In Canada, Mr. Havelock Wilson has been received by a small section with the basest ingratitude for the services he has rendered for many years. *- * *
