The Score for the First Three Days
in the Roller Skating Con-
test i'm New York.

LONDON, May ia riot occurred
this afternoon between a mob and
the police for the possession of the
Nelson monument in Trafalgar
square. About 10000 men had as
sembled III the square to make a
demonstration against the Govern
ment's budget proposal to increase
the duty on spirits and beer. The
crowd was very unruly, a large
proportion of it consisting of an
element in search of sport. The
police found themselves unable to
maintain order and the pressure on
the speakers and the resolution read
ers compelled them to mount the
pedestal of the Nelson monument.
When from this emenence speeches
were resumed they were rendered in
audible to the audience addressed by
the uproar among the Roysterers.
The police intervened to secure
silence for the orators and then q
great struggle ensued between the
mob and the police for the possession
of the monument. The row lasted
nearly an hour and the promoters of
the met ting and the police were
finally forced to retire, leaving the
crowd singing in triumph, .'Rule
Britannia" Soon after the mob had
compelled the speakers to leave it
surged down to the front of the
National Club, which faces Trafalgar
square. Every person noticed enter
ing or leaving the club was mobbed.
The attitude Of the crowd was so
menacing th>t the club doors were
closed and a messenger dispatched
to Scotland Yard for additional
police. At 8 o'clock the rioters were
still in full possession of Trafalgar
square, and North Cumberland
avenue was also occupied by a mob
of many thousands. The police by
this time had been largely reinforced,
had charged a number of times upon
the mob and had made several

MORMON CONSPIRACY.
A Letter from the Pastors Of Salt Lake
City-An Important Case Before the
Court.

SALT LAKE CRY, Dec. %.
The clergy of Salt Lake City, Utah, held a
meeting yesterday, and adopted the follow
ing address to the country:
1.-The grand jury have unearthed a con
spiracy on the part of Mormon officials to
blacken the characters of public men of this
city. An attack on Christian ministers has
begun. We warn the Eastern public against
these slanderous reports emanating from
Mormon sources
The address is signed by all the pastors Of
salt Lake City.
The trial of B. Y. Hampton, charged with
conspiracy, commenced before Judge Zane
to day. Hampton, who is city officer and a
prominent saint is charged with entering into
a conspiracy with disreputable women for the
purpose OF entrapping federal officers and
Gentiles. The only witness examined to-day
was one of these women. She testified that
she entered into a contract with Hampton,
that he furnished house for her, that the
police promised her she should not be arrested
for keeping such a house, that the police
paid her rent and reserved one room in the
house for "spotters," that Hampton had paid
her S400 altogether, that he took her past
Governor Murrav's residence in buggy and
pointed out the house and told her to call on
tne OUVerDOT ANU Try " get niiD 10 call on
her, that Hampton had promised her $500 if
she entrapped the Governor. that Hampton
and his associates had told her that they
wanted to get the names OF the Gentiles who
visited her house, that they could get them
off the juries in pologamy trials and that they
wanted to compromise with the government
in order to get the polygamists out of the
penitentiary, From her testimony it appeared
the police took very active part in the con.
spiracy. The trial is exciting great interest
and will probably last several days. Three
other indictments have been found against
Hampton; one for conspiracy with another
woman. two for keeping disreputable houses
Judge Zane impanelled the grand jury to-day
and gave them pointed instructions to investi.
gate the cases of polygamy. unlawful cohabi-
tation and keepers and habitues of disreputa-
BILE houses. He referred to the rumors that
the jurors would be made to suffer if they
made thorough investigation and said he
would excuse any one who was AFRAID Il

selves even by shooting their assailants il

HOME RULE.
Views of Earl ROseberry, Mr.. Parneli
and 7. ID. Sullivan.

LONDON, Dec. 22.
Earl Roseberry, who was a member of
Gladstone's cabinet, writes that he is willing
to concede home rule to Ireland on the con-
dition that the union be maintained.
Parnell has sent letter to his colleagues
in reference to the party's programme. He
says it would be unwise4 at present for the
nationalists to formulate their demands and
they will therefore play the waiting game
and watching the course Of events.
DUBLIN, Dec. %.
A meeting of the Irish national league was
held in Dublin today. +. ID. Sullivan, mem
Der of Parliament, made an address in which
he referred to the opposition of the Orange
men and other loyalists to home rule. He
warned the Ulster "braggarts" that if they
shonld resist the home rule measure after its
passage by Imperial Parliament their resist
ance would constitute the act of treason and
that it would be useless for them to endeavor
assert themselves by fighting the Queens
troops. Sullivan said Gladstone would per-
servere with the home rule scheme regard
less of the clamors OF those opposed to the
measure.
