A RIOT IN LONDON.
The Mob Takes Possession OF Trafalgar
square and Northumberland
Avenue.

LONDON, May l3.
A riot occurred this afternoon between a
mob and the police for possession of the Mel
son monument in Trafalgar Square.
About 10000 men assembled in the square
to make demonstration against the govern
ments budget proposals TO increase the duties
on spirits and beer. The crowd was very un-
rulv. A large portion of it consisted of the
element on search for sport.
The police found themselves unable to
maintain order and the pressure on the speak
ers compelled them to mount the pedestal of
the Nelson monument, when from this emf
nence the speeches were resumed. They were
rendered inaudible to the audience by the up.
roar among the roisterers.
The police intervened to secure silence for
the orators and then great struggle ensued
between the mob and police for possession of
the monument. The row lasted nearly an
hour and the promoters of the meeting and
police were finally compelled 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 entering or
leaving the club building was mobbed.
The attitude Of the crowd was so menacing
that the club doors were closed and q messen-
ger despatched to Scotland va, d for addition.
al police. At Q o'clock the rioters were still
in possession of Trafalgar Square, and Nor
thumberland Avenue was also occupied by
mob of many thousands.
The police by this time had been largely
reinforced, had charged a number of times on
the mob and had made several arrests.

A WALL OF ICE.
Several Vessels Bewildered by the Re.

NEW YORK, May 13.
Capt. Lord of the steamship Critic, which
arrived from Leith, yesterday, reports: May
9th, at 6 A. NJ, lat. 48 degrees north, AZ de-
grees west, we found solid wall of packed
ice interrupting our forward progress and ex-
tending as far as the eye could reach. We
looked to passage south all day but without
success. The icebergs became exceedingly
numerous, attaining an altitude of from 200
to 800 feet, and assuming the dimensions of
large islands. The weather now becoming
thick with fog, it was with the utmost diff
Guilty that We could thread our way through
them. We got into the outer edge of the
field of ice and It was with the greatest difi-
Gully that We were enabled to get out again.
Night approaching, We deemed il impru-
dent to advance any further and decided 10
stop in our present position until daylight, TO
avoid being caught in the ice. The vessel
kept moving ahead and astern all night. The

GEN. CIR ANT.
Talked Too Much Yesterday aud had
Bad Night.

NEW YORK, MAY 13.
Between 10 and ii o'clock last night hy-
perdermic injection of five drops Of morphine
was administered to Gen. Grant. This guam
tity of the opiate usually neutralized the con-
slant pain in his throat so that the patient is
able to sleep. This was not the result last
night. The General, luring the day, had
talked too much with visitors. He found no
sleep until 3 O'Clock this morning. At that
hour he slept and continued to do so with
breaks of wskefulness until between and 8
this morning. At 9 O'Clock he aroused and
dressed. An increased swelling of the throat
is today noticeable.
Drs. Douglass and Shrady called in the
afternoon.
When he left, Shrady said that as compared
with their condition Sunday, the two new
spots on the pslstal curtain had changed
enough so il might be said they are not quies-
cent. The same might be said of the trouble
at the base of the tongue.
Douglass said the Generals throat was
much swollen Tuesday night, owing to hav.
ing talked too much, but the swollen abated
somewhat today and the General frightened
during the afternoon and did some work on
his book.
The pain IN the Generals throat increased
so much that he was obliged to discontinue
work on the book after several attempts. The
fact is the trouble is on the increase and the
doctors unanimously agree that the cancer is
making very marked progress. DIR. Douglass
hopes to prevent the recurrence of the trou-
BILE of last night and will probably remain all
night. The sum total is that the General is
worse,

ENGLISH PARLIAM ENT.
Lord Randolph Churchill Defends His
Honor in a speech.

LONDON, May l3.
Earl Granville, in the House Of Lords last
evening, impugned the accuracy of the state
ments made by Lord Churchill in the House
of Commons on the 4th inst. The latter has
written lengthy and vigorous reply which
will appear in the Times tomorrow morning.
Lord Churchill says:
~ never desired and do not desire now to
be member Of the Upper House, but con-
fess that when read Earl Granville's re-
marks today felt momentary wish to be a
member OF the House of Lords for just
quarter of an hour, in order to give Earl
Granville mild reply. Peers will do well
when reforming their constitution to adopt
the rule Of the House of Commons, which
prohibits the quoting in debate of speeches
made in either House in previous debates In
the same session, as official reports of speech
es are unobtainable, whilst newspaper re-
ports are not always accurate. If Earl
Granville wished to reply to my speech with
regard to the received notions of ordinary
parliamentary fair play, he might have in
structed Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice to take
advantage of Mondays debate in the House
of Commons to correct what he assumes to be
my errors. Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice is
certainly not inferior to Earl Granville in in
telligence, and might have been trusted TO
that extent; or Earl Granville might have
given me notice, when could have asked
some friend in the House Of Lords to reply
in my behalf. The two courses, however, in
Earl Granville's opinion, were open to seri-
Gus objections. Firstly, they were fair and
honorable secondly, he would have been
precluded from enjoying complete impunity
in making the foolish and ignorant charges
against myself. Pray allow me through your
columns to deal with this unhappy man."

CRUSHED HIS SKULL.
A Wilton Man Assaults His
Father-in-Law.
Recovery Doubtfal-The Assailsnt l.oA~.
ed in Jail.

FARNIEsroH, May l3.
monday afternoon Warren Daggett, living
near Wilton depot, made murderou. .s,.ul,
upon his father-ip-law Lafayette Ranger, of
tne same place, throwing . rock weighing
two pounds which hit Ranger in the side of
the head, crushing his skull. The attack was
wholly unprovoked, but grew ou. OF family
difiiculties of long standing. Daegett was
arrested Tuesday afternoon At the house of
one Knowles in Wilton, by Sheriff A. Sylve.-
Ter and Policeman Horn of Pennington, and
lodged in Pennington Jail. Dsggett has long
nad an unsavory reputation. He formerly
lived at Vests Mills in Industry. Ranger
lies in an unconscious state and his recovery
is doubtful.
A second dispatch says: The parties in
the tragedy of Monday afternoon, are all on
the lower tier of Wilton society. The victim
Is poor, crippled old man of about sixty-fve
years, who has hardly cent to his name and
is able to do very little work He and his
large family have been helped by the town
more or less, but he always has been q law
abiding citizen.
Dsggett, his sssailant, is very cheap
fellow. He is about five feet eight inches
tall, with light hair and moustache, snd is 23
years old. He married one of the old mans
daughters about year ago. She is only l6
years OF age-a wee bit of creature not
over four feet and eight inches tall Daggett
is lazy, dissolute fellow. He had been on
three or four days spree, and was ugly with
rum when he assaulted the old man. He
threw the rock with both hands, when not
more than ten feet distant There were
several witnesses.
Daegett arrested yesterday for assault with
stone on Lafayette Ranger, was arraigned
before the municipal judge at Pennington,
this forenoon. The respondent claimed self
defence, bringing some evidence to that effect.
The judge considered the defendant guilty of
aggravated assault, and ordered him to recog-
nize in $500 for his appearance at the Sept.
term of court.

The dead body of newly born babe was
found today in the woods at Clam Cove, be-
tween Rockland and Rockport, buried in a
wooden box. The sheriff and coroner were

Effusion of blood to the brain, back of head
and other evidences, show that the child
was killed by blow. A man near the place
