= LONDON, February 9.-Fears are enter
tained that the riots OF yesterday will be
renewed to-day. This is Whist would
naturally beexpected when the immunity
enjoyed by the mob in it's work of de-
struction yesterday is considered, for the
police showed they were entirely power
less to cope with such force as that with
which they were confronted. In apticipa-
tion. Of another demonstration to-day,
small crowds Of rouyhs have been pouring
ihtt, Trafalgar Square from different points

ot;the leaders, however, Of yesterdays dis
turbance have made their appearance as
yet, and whether any programme Has been
determined on for another outbreuk il not
known. The West End to-day wears a
holiday appearance. A general feeling
-, OF ALARA AND INSECURITY
is felt among the residents OF that quarter,
and most of the shops are closed Trades
men are indignant at the lack of sprotec-
ton afforded them by the authorities and
the impotency Of the police. No instruc
tiOns have been given to the police rs to
what course to pursue in the event of fur
ther outrages ny the mob, and the shop
keepers feel that they are entirely ungllarded
against the 'pillage and destruction Of their
property. Though it is well known who
the leaders of the mob are, no arrests of
anyone connected Herewith has been made.
The tradesinen propose to send a petition
to the Hume office demanding that they be
afforded protectaon from the depredations

LEADERS DENYING.
Hyndman, the President OF the Demo-
cratic Federation, disclaims any RESPONSE
biiity- for the actions the mob yesterday.
He predicts however that trouble Of very
serious proportions wi ensue If tho dis
tress existing among the working people

Men will not starve for ever he Says, and

are taking advantage Of II fog to assemble
in various parts ofthe West Find. They are
bold and inn udent. One gang attempted
to stop the c"rriags Of the members
ri the NOBILITY who were on their
way t.. st. James Palace TO attend n ievee
given by the. Prince of Wales. A force of
police WAS at hand, however, who drove
back the crowd and dispersed them, The

sPARLING EXPLAINS.
LONDON, February 9.-Spa Ring, Il Social
est leader, in an interview in relation to the
part taken by the socialists in the demon
stration yesterday, said that while he did
not approve Of rioting, still he could not
but rejoice at an event which goes to slow
that s'ciety is insecure. In regard to the

eefs of thata body had brought the attack
upon themselves by appea ring at the win

because the lady was heard to order her

THE MOB GROWING.
BY o'clock the mob at Trafalgar Square |
as estimated to be 10000 strong. A |
majority Ut this great throng is composed |
II lOaf-rs OF the worst class. Large num- |
,ers of policemen are present but their |
ffnrts to control the turbulence of the |
mob has SO far proved unavailing. They |
'ave been unable to clear the streets, and
ratfic il, for time, being brought to |
tandstill. The spirit of the mob is dis
inctlv aggressive, everv carriage which |
ONES within reach OF the rioters is at once
urrounded and its occupants hooted,
Kissed and insulted. During the early part
It the afternoon gorgeous equipage was
riven near the mob and some one said,
turn out, it is the Lord Mayors and the
i"ters at once made rush for it, seemingly
determined to tear the vehicle to pieces
nd tramp it's occupants to death. The
olice, however, by a vigorous charge,
ecured the equipage and its occupants and
OF them to Il plac. of safety. The mob at
resent is tremendous and undlrected
nass Of human savages. Nothing, it
'ould seem, but the want Of
SOME POPULAR LEADER
revents the m b bfrom exerting it's strength
n some organized movement which might
ring about the most disastrous results.
)nring the afternoon the police charged
he mob twice in full force for
he purpose OF breaking it up and driving
he occupants from Trafalgar Square, but
rob would yield a little at the point of at
ack, but would bulge out in some other
irection. The police could not surround
! or break it, and each failure OF the police
,as greeted by the vast assemblage with
heers aud yels. At this hour the rioters
r. getting enraged at these frequent repe-
itinns of hostility, and the temper Of the
lob 's perceptibly rising. Thousands of
len are pouring down to the scene, and all
he paveme:ts in the vicinity of Trafalgar
quale are crowded with excited men.
THE POLICE BOssEE.
At 4:3O D. m. the increasing gravity of
ne situation finally alarmed the authori-
es. and they put forth all Cheir energies to
10 ress the incipient riot. The police
,rce ON duty at Trafalgar Square was
1,.rmously incre e.sed and prepare for a
ell defined exhaustive assault which. after
long struggle. resulted in pushing the mob
ito the side street., and thus splitting it
D. The police followed up their ork and
rove each fragment of the broken mob
nj it's elements were dissipated in the al
v-wnys and by-ways Of fhe town. Every
recaution has been taken to prevent the
of any of the mob, and many
the rioters have been arrested. Some of
rem were fined and discharged. AMI others
I'VE been remanded for trial, while q num-
