respondent of the London Times of the

P. ]. Smythe, member of Parliament,
was proceeding with his speech, when
suddenly there shot into view round q
corner of the Wellington monument a
considerable body of police. trunchsons
in hand, who, without uttering word of
warning, notice or expOstu!atjon, began
to strike mercilessly all sides. If an I'M
partial inquiry be instituted by the Gov
eminent, l believe it will be found that
throughout the period .during which 80
mapy dreadful wounds were given by the
police no resistance was offered. None
could be Offered. No defense was at
tempted by the people beyond the use of
umbrellas in few cases to ward off the
showering blows and loaded truncheons.
Every one within reach was assailed.
Newspaper reporters, Conservative and
Liberal, many of them with notebook
and pencil in hand, some of them per-
sonally well known by the police for
wears past as members of the press, were
attacked as any one else. Flying victims
were dexterously tripped in order that
while on the ground they might be blud-
geoned. A person was quietly walking
alone when some policeman ran at him.
One of them dealt him fearful kick in
the hip which staggered him, and before
he could utter a cry another, with blow
of his truncheon, fclled him to the earth
in a govt of blood.

Deputy Commissioner Of Internal Revt-
nue., in place of Douglass, who has been
transferred to the head of the Revenue, is

is THE5E SO BE ANOTHER
EUROPEAN WARl


Again we have the report that Russis
and Germany are arming against one
another. Our special dispatch few days
ago was the first to signahze the existence
of a secret understanding between France
and Russia on the one hand, and
between Germany aud Austria On the
other. The Paris journal Pdtrie now
gives the most positive continuation TO
the report of our correspondent,
adding Significantly that General
Lefo, the French AMBASSADOR at
st. Petersburg-but lately the War
Minister at Versailles-hss accompanied
the Gar on a military inspection. Under
these circumstances the fact alone that
Theirs should have chosen his former
War Minister for the post of st. Peters
burg cannot be void of meaning. The
armament of both Russia and Germany
are said to be on gigantic scale. Max
ing, therefore, some allowance for eXag~
geration, we begin to think that these
rumors must have some sort Of founda-
ton. Il is, however, difficult to conceive
that France should go to war in her pres
ent situs,i0n, and Russia, single handed,
is certainly no match for Germany.
