Work of the Police-Monday's Losses.
LONDON, Feb. n.-London was panic
striker Wednesday afternoon. Shortly after2
O'Clock a mob composed of Socialists, tramps,
and footpads, with few starving mechanics,
started from Deptford, in the southern por-
ton of the metropolitan district, and
marched toward the city. The rioters at
first numbered less than 800, but they
rapidly increased in strength as they adj
vanced They smashed windows and
wrecked stores right and left, and the shops
on their line of march were
hurriedly closed and barricaded as
fast as the news of their approach was re-
ceived Excited accounts Of the size and
ferocity of the mob spread ahead of it, and
the householders of Deptford and Greenwich
were simply Reconstruction The ferceness
of the rioters was stimulated by the har
argues of fanatical demagogues in their
ranks and by great quantities of spirits
which they obtained by quitting the liquor
stores Few of the men had pistols or
other firearms, but they were provided with
great variety OF impromptu weapons
Hardware shops We're robbed OF axes,
hammers, crowbars and other implements,
Iron pickets were wrenched from fences TO
be used as pixies, and window bars table
legs, and other pieces of wreckage were
used as clubs Two or three of the leading
rioters donned red caps, and many red
handkerchiefs fashioned on stocks were car
ried as banners
After terrorizing the householders of
Deptford and Greenwich for three hours,
the mob which started to march from Dept
ford to the city was finally dispersed without
bloodshed, by the metropolitan police force.
Although the streets are thronged with peO
pie no further danger is apprehended-
The estimate heretofore made of the losses
inflicted by the mob on Monday appears to
| have been too small The official estimate
places the amount of damage at es0,0J1

societies threaten 10 have monster
demonstration at Hyde park next Satur
| day, to be attended by contingents of labor
ers from the country. Shops are closed

Mr.. Kelly, secretary of the unemployed
workingmen's organization, accused the
socialists of causing the recent trouble, and
laid part of the blame on police officials
who, he said, were perfectly aware of the
Intentions OF the socialists Mr.. Kelly on
Monday distributed 10000 circulars among
