LONDON, February 18.--A serious riot oc-
Cured yesterday in the vicinity of Parlia-
ment Street. A procession composed OF
5000 unemployed workingmen accompan-
led by bands of music, and carrying ban
ners inscribed with legends denounclng the
Government and demanding work, marched
to the building occupied by the Local Gov
ernment Board In Whitehall. A delegation
forced Its way into the Offices of the Board
and demanded that means OF relief be
afforded them by the establishment Of pub
lie relief works. The officials present gave
them a cold reception, offering them no en-
couragement whatever.
This treatment so incensed the mob that
what had previously been but noisy dem.
onstration at once assumed the form OF a
riot The few policemen present attempted
to restore order, but they were overpowered
and the mob invaded Downing Street. The
men marched to the official residence OF
Gladstone, where halt was ordered. Here
they gave groans and Kisses for the Premier
and the entire Liberal Cabinet, and roundly
denounced them for their negligence Of the
workingman and his interests.
The Cabinet was in session at the time
and the sudden assembling Of the mob
caused the members great alarm. Glad

sonal violence TO him and his colleagues.
In the meantime the police were heavily
reinforced and the mob was finally driven
from the street, not, however, until 1t had
made an attempt to storm the Admiralty
and Home Offices. Both buildings were
freely pelted with all sorts of missiles. The
affair causes intense excitement throughout
the city.

has caused much uneasiness IN Government
circles and the belief is freely expressed
that Russla's present activity with regard
to her Aslatic possession means further
encroachment on the territory held by En-
gland In that country.
