police patrolled the entrances of the park,
and strong reserves were held in readiness
for any emergency. During the meeting
1000 roughs of threatening appearance
gathered on Great Stanhope street, but they
were vigorously charged by the police and
dispersed. Speeches were made from three
platforms. Resolutions were adopted, ex-
pressing Indignation at the delay of the
Government in commencing public works

deprecated any attempt at looting or riot
ing. He attributed the previous rioting to
the mockeries of the club men, He
appealed 10 the audience not to

give the police spies chance to traduce

The Ladies' Victory.
LONDON, February 21st-The passage to
second reading of Courtney's woman suf-
frage bill almost unobserved startles the
public attention, and shows the dangerous
condition of the rules of Parliamentary
procedure. Many Conservatives express
themselves as pleased with the dispo-
sition of the bill, and are inclined
to the belief that its passage
to a final reading has damaged
the Liberals. The action of the House of
Commons in advancing the bill will GER
tainly have the effect to increase the en-
thusasm at the meeting of the Ladies'
Primrose League, which is soon to take
place at Lady Salisbury's residence, and
the importance and influence of the organ
ization can hardly fail of being largely aug
Ilenteu thereby.
