| Riot in London.
| LONDON, May 13th.-A riot occurred this
afternoon between a mob and the police
| for the possession of the Nelson monument
| in Trafalgar Square. About 10000 men had
assembled in the square, to make demon
stration against the Governments budget
proposal to increase the duty on spirits
and beer The crowd was very unruiy, q
large proportion of it consisting OF an ele-
ment in search for sport. The police found
| themselves unable TO maintain order, and
tion-readers compelled them to mount the
pedestal of the Nelson monument. When,
from this eminence, the speeches were re-
sumed, they were rendered inaudible to the
audience addressed, by the uproar among
the roysterers The police interviewed TO
secure silence for the orators, and then a
great struggle ensued between the mob and
the police for possession of the monu-
ment The row lasted nearly an hour,
and the promoters of the meeting
and the police were finally forced
to retire, leaving the crowd sing
ing 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, and every person noticed
entering or leaving ;hc club building was
mobbed The attitude of the crowd was
so menacing that the club doors were
closed and messenger dispatched to Scot
land Yard for additional police. At
o'clock the rioters were still in full posses
sion of Trafalgar Square, and Northumber-
land avenue was also occupied by a mob OF
many thousands. The police, who by this
time had been largely reinforced, had
charged a number of times upon the mob
and had made several arrests.
