EVERYTHING PEACEFUL.

Mr Lurch, President of the Waterside Workers' Union, says the men are taking the position calmly. The ambulance .brigade reports tha-. there have not been any cases, not even accidents.
The hotels were closed simultaneously with the arrival of the specials. The camp for horsemen has not been fixed yet; there are temporary horselines outside the Union Steam Ship Company's office.
