Dublin. Ireland.?Fierce rioting in connection with the tramway strike was renewed. Hundreds of persons were injured. All the hospitals are so crowded tlrat many serious cases had to be sent to their homes for treatment. The strike committee, in the interest of peace, had rescinded the call for a mass meeting in O'Connell street, and had substituted a parade from Beresford place to Croydon park, at Fairvlew, a suburb on the north side of the city. The authorities meanwhile had prohibited the mass meeting. Croydon park belongs to the Transport Workers' union, and a meeting was held there without disorder. But on the return march attempts of the police by baton charges to disperse the constantly growing crowds lejl to rioting. The mob was further incensed by the arrest of one of the strike leaders, James Larkin, against whom a warrant had been out for 24 hours. Larkin was on the balcony of a hotel in Sackville street. He was wearing a disguise for the purpose of eluding arrest, but an enthusiastic admirer raised the cry, "Three cheers for Larkin!" The police immediately pounced upoi^ him and violent scenes ensued. The rioting became general in various parts of the city. The police charged repeatedly with their sticks, and this led to pitched battles. Stones, brickbats and bottles 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 Intention of demanding a public inquiry into the conduct of the police during the strike riots, and will send law officers of the corporation to attend the inquests over 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 barrier at the Pacific end of the Panama canal was blown out by dynamite. It was an intensely interesting spectacle. At exactly 9:30 o'clock an electric switch was turned on and the 1,500 spectators, including the Shriners visiting here from the United States and officers of the British cruiser New Zealand, were rewarded by a wonderful sight. Hundreds of tons 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, ol 45 per cent, dynamite constituted the blast, whlcb was one of the largest ever set off in the canal. The charge, which was planted In 541 holes at an average depth 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 tide creeping steadily ud until it was level with the ton of the gap. A workman seized u 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 canal between Gamhoa Dike and the Miraflores locks, which previously had been excavated by steam shovels. This cut, which is 5,000 feet long, 500 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 masonry of the Miraflores locks. v Put Five Bullets in Chief of Police.

COHGRESSSUFPORISWllSON PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ON MEXICO ENDORSED BY THE LEADERS. No Member of the Huerta Government Will Make Statement About the" Message of Mr. Wilson. Washington.?Congressional leaders declare that President Wilson's vigorous assertion of a definite policy toward Mexico would have the effect of staying in congress for a time at least, open criticism of the administration.

"The president's message is an ndmirable document," said Senator Hacon, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, "it sets forth the facts without resefvntion, and puts us right before the world. Moreover, I believe it will have a calming effect on our own people, and a soothing Influence upon public expression in the United States. The magnificent ovation Riven the president showed that he has behind him both branches of congress, without regard to party division." Mexico City.?Without comment Frederico Garaboa, the minister of foreign affairs, presented to the standing committee of the Mexican congress all the facts in the controversy between Mexico and the United States. The congressmen comprising the commtitee received the fucts without comment other than that indulged in as individuals after adjournment.

The strictest secrecy was maintained 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 .1,000 feet, describing a curve; then the forward part of the machine was observed to incline towards the earth. Through glasses the spectators saw the propeller and the monoplane further incline. until it was perpendicular with the earth. It seemed as if nothing could stop the headlong plunge. As the machine dropped swiftly the tail : 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 i it . l _ I |/unuiuu. iiu? long ne remainrn upside down the anxious watchers could not determine but it was long enough to cause them to believe that he would i never right himself.
