THE LONDON MOB
Again In Possession of TrafaIuar
Square.
STRANGE APATHY OF the POLICE,
Scenes Of Yesterday Re enacted Under
Cover OF a Dense fOg---The
Nobility Raided.

LONDON. February g, N-Fesis are
entertained that the riots OF yesterday will
be resumed This is what could naturally
be expected when the immunity enjoyed
by the mob in It's work OF destruction yea.
terdsy IS considered. The police showed
that they were entirely powerless to cope
with such force as that With which they
were confronted yesterday. In auticipa.
ton Of another demonstration TO-DAY,
small crowds ofroughs have been pouring
into Trafalgar square from ditteren, points
of the city, and at this hour the crowd As.
sembled there numbers fully three thous
and. None Of the leaders, however, Of
yesterdays disturbances have made their
appearance as yet, and whether any pro.
gramme has been determined for another
outbreak is not known.
STRANGE APATHY on TIL. POLICY.
West End today wears u holiday sp
pearsrce. A general feeling Of alarm and
insecurity is tel, among the residents Of
that quarter and mos. OF the shops are
closed. Tradesmen are indignant At the
lack Of protection afforded them By the su.
thotities and at the impo,ency OF the DO
lice. No instructions have been given 70
the police as TO wha, course 10 pursue in
the event Of further outrages BY the mob
and the shopkeepers ieel that they are en-
trely unguarded against he pillsge and
destruction Of their property. Though il is
we'll known who the leaders OF the mob
were, no arrests ofsny one connected there
with have been made. The tradesmen pro
pose to send petition TO the Home Of.ics
demanding that they be afforded protection
from the depreda,iops OF the mob.
TROUBLE COMMENCED lS THE wYsr END.
Hyndman, the President Of the Demo
cratic Federation, disclaims any responsi.
bility for the action Of the mob Yesterday
He predicts that trouble oil very serioGs
proportions will ensue il the distress exist,
ing among working people is not soon re
lieved. The men will no, s,arys forever
he says. and il the authorities refuse 10
help them then they mus, not be surprised
il force is resorted 10 10 procure bread.
Roughs are taking advantage OF the foy 10
assemble in various parts OF the West End
They are bold and impudent. One gang
attempted 10 stop the carriagcs Of mem.
bers Of the nobility who were on their way
to st. James Palace to attend levee given
BY the Prince OF Wales A force OF polio,
was at hand, however who drove back tho
crowd and dispersed them. Alarm il
spreading 10 all parts Of the city.

Trafalgar Square was estimr.std 10 be 10
600 STONY. The msjority of this Rrsa,
throng.is composed OF Ea,ers aud rouehs
OF the worst cIsss. Large numbers ct DO
hcemen are present. but their efforts 10
control tAe turbulence OF the mob have ~
far proved uuavailng, They have beeu
unable TO clear the streets and traffic Ia for

The spirit OF the mob today ia distinctly
aggressive Every carriage which
happens 10 come within reach O!
the rioters is n, cnce surrounded. and
its occupants hooted, hued and insult
ed. During tie early part OF the after
noon c gorgeous rquipsge MAS driven
near the mob. Some one said the tsyn
cut wss iae Lord Mayor = and the ,ioters
81 oIco made rush for it, seemingly de-
termined 10 tear the vehicle 10 pieces and
stamp its occupants 10 death. The police,
however, by a vigorous charge rcscusd The
equipsge and iis occupants and got them
to place Oi safety. The mob at present.
is simply tremendous mas Of un directed
human savssss. Nothing il would ssen,
but the want ot some populSS leader Ore
vents the mob from exeIiipv iis strength
in some organized rao7srent which mi eh,

During ;se afternoon the police,
