LoMDox February 1.-THE hearing
the case OF the Socialist leaders HyndemaD.
Burns, Champion and Williams. charged
with melting to riot, contempt of law. etc.,
in connection with the recent demonstra-
ton in London. began, in the Bow Street
court this morning. The ecourt room was we'll
filled with spectators. but not crowded.
Mr.. Rowland, the solicitor for the Treasury,
in presenting the case for the government,
quoted from the speeches made by defend
ants at the time of the riots, and several
newspaper rep ,rters were called as wit
nessas and gave testimony regarding tho
action OF the prisoners previous to and
during the disorders.
Mr.. Rowland asked that all the prisoners
be committed for trial. He said the prose-
cution had nothing Of political nature in
it, and urged that the men had been prose-
cuted for q misdemeanor. This, he conten-i
ded, consisted Of the utterance by the diff
ferent defendants of expressions and senti-
ments with the intent to provoke a breach
OF peace. These utterances were made 1T
meetings held at Trafalgar Square and
Hyde Park, Monday OF last week. Burns,
at the Trafalgar Square meeting, said to
the assemblage:
Unless we get bread,
THEY WILL GET LEAD"
and, ''the next time we will sack bakers
shops" It was Burns who suggested to
the mob to march through the West End.
When the mob arrived at Hyde Park,
Burns again addressed the rioters and said:
1--WE have shown what stones can do; we
will try powder and shot, if they don't ac-
cede, and there will be revolution" Mr..
Champion, in his speeches to the rioters on
the same day, urged his hearers to influence
tn. police and the army to join the people.
Williams in his address urged the people to
organize, saying he was unwilling to have q
starving people confront the soldiery, un-
less the former were organised; Hyndman
said: LET us show firm front, if peace
able means fail. will be the first to sum-
mon you, The case was adjourned for q
week, and the prisoners allowed to give
bail

Salisbury on Gladstone.

LONDON, February 17.-Lord Salisbury,
speaking at banquet this evening, said
the recent events cast q grave responsible
ity upon the Peers. He feared that Mr.,
Gladstone would not yield home rule to
Ireland all at once, but by installments.
Mr.. Gladstone, he said, was destroying the
power of landlords and was not creating
anything capable OF promoting peace and
prosperity. The Tory-Irish policy was
plain and right-that Of restoring and up
holding law and preserving the union. Mr..
Gladstone has taken the Office Of Privy
Seal in addition to that of Premier. This
is unusual and proves that Mr.. Gladstone
is experiencing some difficulty in securing
stable colleagues.

latter.
The trial has lasted over two weeks and

just twelve months ago last night the
devout young ladies Of the Broadway Tab
ernacle, at Broadway and Sixth Avenue,
became missionaries. Instead of learning
some nncouth dialect and giving up all the
social delights of tn e other six days III the
week an0 then migrating to some torrid
cline they pursued the more sensible course
of redeeming our imported heather from
the worship OF Vishnu and opium.
These yovng ladies, with a devoted con-
tingeKt Of young men not born in Asia, in
vited Q sufficient number Of their friends
last evening to completely fill the Taber-
nacle lecture room. Thirty young men
with Mongolian fea lures and frock coats
exerted their vocal powers to show how
much good these devout young ladies had
accomplished in year. The only myste-
rious feature Of the affair was the ages OF
these young men.
Superintendent s. L. Gulick proved to be
an admirable stage manager. Singing,
readings and addresses were SO ingeniously
arranged, according to the peculiar genius
of each Chinaman, that every seat re-
remained occupied until $50 o. NJ.
Moy Baak Kwai, Lee Gin and Charlie
Sing read consecutively passages at scrip
ture with considerable dramatic effect.
Chu You during the evening sang "Thy
Will be Done" as tenor solo. Col. Maple
son would have shuddered at the effort.
but the pretty girls in the galleries seemed
to take the bur len OF the song to them
selves, and applauded Mr.. You until he
actually blushed.
A Chinese version of the hymn "Jesus,
our King" was sung by the entire thirty
young Cinnamon. The Chinese language
m,,af ha iva heen ta xed tn the uttermOat to
express the few simple ideas of these verses,
for to each English word in the original
there were half a dozen explosive utter
ances to convey the same meaning in Chi
nese. This song was not encored. One
young lady remarked that it was very
touching. but could never become popular.
May Baak Kwai seemed to be the prize
scholar of the Sunday school. Heappeared
in six different roles, and as he is decidedly
the handsomest OF the thirty converts, he
was the star attraction.
The exercises were of Scripturrl char
actsr, and were interestingly entertaining.

Rev. William NJ. Taylor made a closing
address scomplimenting his young people on
the noble progress Of their foreign mission

proach to his country that Cinnamon had
received the abusive treatment that had
given America an almost infamous reputa-
tion in ASIA.
Rev. DIR. Taylor received letter yester-
day from a young Chinaman, whose educa-
ton in the Howard University at WASH
ington had enabled him to do the same
good turn for his country men in China.
