ESPECIAL TO TIE SENTINEL.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-Lord Mayors day
opened gloomy and dark. There are few
sisus in the city to indicate that this Ia
the day for Lord Mayor. The chow and
display of bunting and decoration usually
made on this occasion is almost generally
omitted, and authorities and populace
seem imbued with o sense Of oppression.
This condition is due to the anxiety for
the result Of the threatened gathering OF
Socialists. The police have made all pos
sible arrangements for resisting any at
tempts OF disorder. Al an early hour
Shoals roughs began to emerge from the
slums and made their way towards Soc
| tons where Socialists nave arranged to
assemble. Battalions OF police proceeding
to different points received hearty cheers
from the people. The streets in the west
end Of the city present remarkable appear
ances. All the shutters OF shops are
| drawn and barricaded, and iron ratings
are boarded with stout timber. Banks
and other buildings are fixed in q similar
manner. These precautions are not con-
fined to buildings IN the route OF tie
Lord Mayors procession, but extend to
streets far removed. Suburban police
and reserves have been posted at promi-
nent points, and large military forces and
oil household troops are in readiness II
their assistance is needed. At IL O'clock
the force proceeded TO the north side OF
Trafalgar Square. The shops in that vi
cinity are closed and doors and windows

barred. Hundreds Of students armsd
with sticks have gathered about the square.
A crowd Of loafers arrived and were al
lowed to proceed to the entrance of the
square. There they were met by o double
line of police and turned into the strand.
Mounted police cleared the roadway. The
throng ~ Trafalgar Square is increasing
to vast proportions. The police keep ad-
mirable order.
A tritiing encounter occurred in Trsfal
gar Square about noon. Amob about 800
strong and marching in a body was bat.
ted by the police and separated. The
police then cleared the square and pushed
the crowd towards the Thames embank-
ment. There the mob halted and hooted
and groaned at the officers. Three
hundred medical students marching five
abreast and armed with bludgeons pro-
ceed along the stand TO aid the police.
The life guards in passing through Vic
torla street were saluied with groans by q
small kno of roughs. Two Socialists
called upon Sir Charles Warren to-day
aud requested an answer to their letter
of yesterday, inquiring why proposed So
cialist demonstration had been pro.
hibited. Sir Charles referred them to his
proclamation. The procession started at
the usual hour and proceeded over the
designed route without anything happening
beyond the usual horse play incident to
the occasion. The police dispersed the
medical students and refused to allow
them to occupy Trafalgar Square. One
thousand policemen were posted at the
square. Scots guards were mustered in 81.

these waved red flags. The square soon
