At THOMAS McLEAN’S GALLERY, 3 Haymarket (next to the theatre). THOMAS McLEAN’S GALLERY FOREIGN AND COLONIAL NEWS We have received the following telegrams through the Reuters’ Agency: LABOUR AGITATION IN SPAIN Valencia, June 7 The Civil Guard have today been again called upon to disperse groups of strikers assembled in the streets. Many arrests have been made. THE UNITED STATES Washington, June 3 Orders have been issued to hasten the work of preparing three warships. Two of these are to be equipped at Mare Island and the other at New York. It is reported that the vessels will be dispatched either to Samoa or to the Isthmus of Panama. New York, June 3 In his decision yesterday against the North River Sugar Refining Company for entering a trust, the Judge of the Supreme Court declared that the trust was illegal. PANIC AT THE THEATRE FRANCAIS Paris, June 3 The performance at the “Théâtre Français” this evening was disturbed by an occurrence which resulted in panic. Shortly after 10 o’clock the electric wires supplying the chandeliers came in contact in consequence of the wearing away of the envelope. The light was consequently extinguished, and several sparks fell among the audience. A panic ensued in spite of the efforts of the actors to reassure the public. The firemen on duty at the theatre immediately communicated with the head-quarters of the brigade, and a steam fire engine was dispatched to the spot. The incident caused great excitement in the neighbourhood of the theatre. DISTURBANCE AT THE RUSSIAN SOCIAL CLUB A scuffle broke out last night at a lecture on women’s rights and birth control at the Russian Immigrants Social Club, 7, High Street, SE. The featured speaker was Sophie Botkin, wife of Vladimir Botkin, the exiled Russian anarchist. According to the president of the club, Jacob Epstein, the disturbance occurred during the reception which followed the lecture and which was attended by close to one hundred women. One of the women apparently became outraged and had to be escorted from the building. ANOTHER BODY FLOATING IN THAMES Shortly after 11 o’clock last night another body was found floating near the Southwark Bridge. The deceased, a man in his middle thirties, has been identified by the seaman’s papers found on his person as Leo Shephard. Shephard had apparently been shot. This is the fourth victim found murdered in the vicinity in the past five days. The inhabitants of Southwark are becoming increasingly anxious as to the discovery and apprehension of the perpetrator or perpetrators of these crimes. Although at least one of the victims was known to be of bad character and to associate with others of similar character, the list of victims includes a barrister and a senior clerk from the firm of Lindsay and Co. The police are much attacked as a consequence of their not having any suspects at this time. NEW SCOTLAND YARD Ironical questions have been asked in the House of Commons with regard to the architectural aspect of the building which is destined to go by the name of New Scotland Yard. They are obviously intended to be the prelude of sharp criticism, and in order that the criticism may be appreciated, that its justice or injustice, as the case may be, may be followed, it will be no bad thing to enquire into the nature of the structure which is to become a substitute for the miscellaneous collection of buildings in which, for some time, the central business of the metropolitan police has been conducted. Nor will any criticism be fair which does not take into account the capacities of the site and the complex character of the business which has to be conducted in Scotland Yard. For all practical purposes New Scotland Yard is an unqualified success, and it has potentialities, such as a spacious and fairly lighted crypt, in which men may be kept in reserve in the event of an unexpected riot, of which space does not permit the enumeration. PRESIDENT CARNOT Paris, June 3 President Carnot gave a grand diplomatic banquet this evening. The guests included all the foreign Ambassadors. Earl and Countess of Lytton and their daughter were present. NEW MAGAZINE — Truth and Lies, a new bi-monthly journal dedicated to what its editorial board call ‘free-thinking’ sent its inaugural issue off the press today. A confiscation was ordered by the Lord Mayor. FIGHT SET FOR TONIGHT The excitement which has been building for many weeks will climax tonight when those gigantic gladiators, Marco Escobedo and the American challenger Jake Kilrain, act out their fistic drama at the Ring, 35 Surrey Row. According to the promoter of tonight’s contest, Oliver Perkins, the fight will be conducted under the rules of the London prize ring as opposed to the rules governing glove fights. London prize ring rules require that a roped enclosure be pitched on turf; that the men shall fight with bare fists; that they are permitted tripping and wrestling. Although early betting heavily favoured Escobedo who has won his last ten fights quite easily, the sporting men are beginning to back the Baltimore Biffer. Since Escobedo’s last fight more than four months ago, he has not kept up his rigorous training. Many point to his excessive “night life” and gallivanting with the actress Letitia Garcia in explaining their choice of Kilrain who does indeed appear to be in first-class condition. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (Before the COMMON SERGEANT) WILLIAM JONES, 30, was indicted for uttering a counterfeit florin at the Salutation Tavern, Newgate Street, after having been previously convicted of a similar offence. Mr. Mason prosecuted; and Mr. Faversham defended. It was alleged that the prisoner was acting in concert with a man named M’Lean, who tendered the counterfeit coin. After M’Lean left the Salutation he joined the prisoner. The jury, after considerable deliberation, Convicted the prisoner, who was then tried, with John M’Lean, on an indictment charging them with uttering bad coin. Sir Clayton Partridge defended M’Lean. Evidence was adduced also to show an uttering in Queen Victoria Street. The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and two previous convictions having been proved against Jones, he was sentenced to six years’ penal servitude. M’Lean was sentenced to 10 months’ hard labour. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE In order to remedy to some extent the lack of musketry knowledge in the Militia, it has been decided at the War Office that during the next training season several of the battalions shall be encamped at the Government ranges at Stensall-common, near York, so that target practice might be satisfactorily carried out.

E PP’S COCOA.— By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by the careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage, which may save us many heavy doctors’ bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles that a constitution may be gradually built up strong enough to resist every tendency to disease.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES Sir,— With regard to the suggestion that bloodhounds might assist in tracking the Thames murderer, as a breeder of dogs, and knowing their power, I have little doubt that had a hound been put upon the scent of the murderer white fresh, at least in those cases where the body was not actually floating in the water, it might have done what the police have failed in. I have made some experiments in this area myself, but Scotland Yard does not appear interested in my results. But now, when all trace of the scent has been trodden out, it would be quite useless. Meanwhile, as no means of detection should be left untried, it would be well if a couple or so of trained bloodhounds unless trained they are worthless — were kept for a time at one of the police head- quarters ready for immediate use in case their services should be called for. There are, doubtless, owners of bloodhounds willing to lend them, if any of the police, which, I fear, is improbable, know how to use them. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ELTON SHERMAN 6, Holywell Row, London, EC.

THAMES INVESTIGATION CONTINUES The investigation continues into the series of murders which have been plaguing the Bankside, Southwark area during the past several nights. Sunday’s murder, the third in this recent outburst of violence, came as a shock to the community. Mr. Charles Attard, a well-known London barrister, was found behind a waterfront warehouse in Upper Ground Street brutally murdered. He had been shot twice with a large calibre gun. The absence of Attard’s wallet points to a possible motive of robbery, but the police have given little additional information to the press.
