which adopted them, and which had by this time
absorbed nearly all the multitude remaining in
the square, dispersed, cheering for the promised
social revolution. Most of the people who had
composed this audience at once went away
Others loitered about and joined various throngs
attracted to the scene. A number of anti-So-
cialists attempted to hold a counter demonstra-
ton in Trafalgar square. They were attacked
and roughly handled by their opponents, and
driven from the scene. The police and Life
Guards interferred and cleared the square. The
work was not difficult, and but one arrest was
made.

the police.
For a long time after the close of the proceed

municipal reforms which are bound sooner or
later to be made. He said: ''The residents of
the greater part of London are anxious to obtain
a share in that civil and municipal life which
distinguishes the city proper"
Lord Salisbury, speaking at Lord Mayor Han
sons banquet in the Guild Hall tonight, said
the Conservatives occupied position on Irish
affairs which t was impossible to misinterpret
Their business was to legislate in favor of the
integrity of the empire, and to enforce laws
which had long been neglected and trodden
under foot. He believed the Conservatives
could claim that public confidence was some
what restored, and that the relations between
landlord and tenant were better than formerly.
Foreign affairs. he continued, were at present of
high importance, the affairs of Egypt being Of
special interest. The stay of the English in
Egypt had been upheld by politicians of all
parties as one Of limited duration. That limit
was not a time limit but limit of work which
England was bound to accomplish by pledges so
distinct and so often repeated that she could not
retreat. The government was encouraged in this
task by growing proofs OF advancing prosperity
in Egypt. Her finances were more promising
than they had ever been, although they had
not reached point that would enable the gov
ernment to declare its task fulfilled Further,
England could not leave Egypt until the latter's
independence of foreign interference hac been
secured. Referring to Bulgaria. Lord Salisbury
said the sympathies Of the English people were
aroused by the spectacle of her struggle for in
dependence and that the language of diplomatic
menace used toward Bulgaria by European
power had caused the deepest regret mid
night conspiracy, led by men debauched by for
eign gold, had hunted Prince Alexander from the
throne of Bulgaria and outraged the
conscience and sentiment of Europe.
The injustice of this deed was
aggravated by foreign diplomacy saving the con-
spirators-an act of interference which caused
earnest reprobaton throughout Europe. Bull
garias rights were assured by the Berlin treaty,
on which the salvation of Europe depended.
English interest in that treaty was not an iso-
lated interest Other powers, also were inter
ested In the vindcaton of the treaty. He was
sure that, if q majority of the signatory powers
recognized the fact that it was their duty to en-
force the treaty, England would not be found
backward in cooperating with them. Cheers
If England's individual interests only were af-
fected, England would ask no counsel and would
seek no assistance, but would defend her inter
ests with her own arm But in this instance
she would not accept the responsibility of ieo-
lated action. The governments policy was
shaped in harmony with that of Austria. He
trusted that the peace would not be disturbed,
and that, under the influence of public opinion,
the infant liberties of Bulgaria would not be i'm
paired.
