ENGLISH OPINION.
The Real Cause OF the Riots in the City
OF London.

New YORK, Feb. l3.
Mr.. G. w. Smalley cables as follows to
the Sunday Tribune from London:
The three hours riot of Monday was fol-
lowed by three days panic. The riot, se-
rious enough in itself, became much more
serious owing to the incapacity of the police
authorities and to the timidity of the public
1t is nonsense, however, to treat the subject
as socialistic or revolutionary, the line which
the continental press gleefully takes. The
trouble began with an attempt of the socialist
federation to break up a genuine meeting OF
unemployed men at Trafalgar square. The
police had ample notice of this attempt and
an ample force at hand did protect the meet
ing and cause the socialists to move to the
north side of the square, followed by a crowd
OF roughs and thieves, TO whom Hyndman,
Burns and other anarchist leaders made
speeches, directly melting them to violence
and crime. The men thereupon started wests
ward, began smashing the windows in Pail
Mall street, and continued the same amuse-
ment in St. James and Piccadilly, where
some shops were also plundered. The mob
reached HYDE Park and attacked carriages
with women aud children, whom it robbed,
insulted and beat. 1t then sacked South and
North Audley streets and broke more win
dows in Oxford street, but dispersed on the
rumor OF the approach or the police. The
damage was considerable. The whole of this
destruction and outrage might easily have
been prevented if one hundred police had
been sent round and formed across the top
of st. James street, but the police had or
ders not to interfere with the procession.
These orders remained unchanged after the
destruction began, and continued two hours.
The scare which ensued on Tuesday and the
following days vas due almost wholly to the
police, who advised the closing of shops in
the principal streets. This was regarded as
an avowal Of their inability to protect the
city against expected attack. 1t encouraged
the mob which again assembled at Trafalgar
square but was easily dispersed. There was
the same warning on Wednesday on mere
rumor. Business was paralyzed, and only
partially resumed on Thursday. Tradesman
merchants and citizens generally are indlg-
nant, and justly so, with the authorities
They rightly hold the ministry responsible
for not allaylng the panic by assurances o
| protection. There has never been really
since Monday, the least danger The force
at hand was overwhelming, both of police and
military. The alarm has now quieted. More
discredtable than mere inac ton has been the
spectacle of the ministers, including Mr.
| Gladstone and Mr.. Chamberlain, parleyinl
with the scoundrels who caused the first riot.
An inquiry is now promised into the imbe-
cility which pervaded police headquarter'
and the home Office alike. The inquiry is to
be conducted by the home secretary, who il
personally responsible for everything that ha:
happened since Monday.

THE BATES MILL TROUBLE.
The Mill to be ReOpened This Morning
to All Who Choose to Return.

LEWISTON, Feb. l3.
Agent Pratt has announced in a card, that
the Bates mills will open at the usual hour
Monday morning to receive all that desire to
work in accordance with the instructions of
Treasurer Edwards, as contained in his letter
to Mr.. Pratt. The treasurer's communica-
ton is the topic of discussion among the
Knights of Labor. and the feeling is strongly
in opposition to return to work. The opin-
ion prevails that the district assembly execu-
tive board, which is in session tonight, will
not accept the offer of Agent Pratt, with
whom they had a conference today. The
loom ixers' union have voted not to 60 back
without Dalton. Dalton brands the report
that he has said that he would not return to
the Bates as false. He also says that he has
no intention of leaving Lewiston, but means
to stay until the difficulty is settled. En-
ployes of the Bates who may be in need of
assistance on account of the closing of the
mill will have their wants supplied by spec
ial committee

Sagadahoc CO., are hauling one thousand tons
of ice per day, a distance Of one mile and a
half. This gives employment to thirty or
forty teams, and those engaged in the work
find it quite profitable. They pay five cents
a block for hauling the ice, aud double
team takes eighteen blocks for load, and
makes nine and ten trips a day. The com

A SPLIT AT P%ITTSBURG.


Upshur County Wants the Larger Piece of
Pie and Camp County objects.
Special TO the Gazette.
GILMER, TEX, Aug, 20.-The delegates
to the representative convention at Pitts
burg returned this evening, bringing the
news that N. Nj. Harrison OF Upshur
county was nominated on the fret ballot.
Mr.. John Thompson OF Plttsburg and
Mr.. Harrison were placed in nomination
In due form after the convention was or
ganized. Before the vote was taken the
Camp county delegate withdrew from the
convention with a threat TO put out an in
dependent Democrat and thus virtually
surrender this district over to the Re-
publicans. For the past ten years the
two counties have followed the plan of
alternating representatives, but Upshur,
having a population Of more than double
that of Camp, claimed a larger share OF
the pie. Camp denied the right and
withdrew. The nomination OF Mr..
Harrison is received here with
great enthusiasm. He is very popular
and will receive q heavy vote in Upshur
county, enough with the total Demo
Gratis of Camp to secure his election be-
yond II doubt. The universal sentiment
here is that there should be no Mason
and Dixon line between the two counties,
and that sentiment is echoed by many
Democrats Of Camp county.
