LONDON, Nov. 10-The weather was threat
ening and gloomy The officials and popu-
lace appear unduly oppressed, and tho indi-
cations pointed to one Of the dullest Lord
Mayors Day that has occurred in many
years. Hundreds of rough and hardened
looking characters swarined the roads
leading from the slums TO the city, and
hOclsed toward the route proposed for the
lord mayors procession. The absence Of
bunting and decorations on public and pri-
Yate buildings was universal The battal-
Ions Of police, as they marched along the
route, were heartily oheered.
The only disturbance In connection with
the lord mayors show was a slight encounter
between the police and mob one hundred
strong, marching in body into Trafalgar
Square. The mob halted in the square, and
attempted to take up position, but the po-
lice separated them and cleared the square,
pushing the crowd toward the Thames en-
bankment There they remained hooting
and groaning at all the representatives Of the
lazy,
A feature of the day was tho appearance Of
three hundred medical students marching
through the Strand five abreast, and armed
with heavy bludgeons Their ayowed pur-
pose was to aid the police in preserving the
peace.
A Gordon was drawn across the White
chapel district at the lower end of the city by
the life guards, for the purpose of shutting
of any body of East End Socialists which
might attempt demonstration in the rear Of
the procession,
A detachment of life guards, while passing
through Queen Victoria street. city, were
groaned and hissed at by a small knot of
roughs, the majority of the assembled crowd,
however, watched the progress in silence.
As Con. Warner, chief commissioner Of
police, rode through the city at the head Of
detachment, two Socialists called to him re-
questing an answer to yesterdays note ask
ing his reasons for prohibiting their proposed
meetings Gen. Warner referred them to
his proclamation. The procession started
without mishap at the appointed hour, and
for the first hour its progress was marked by
no disorder
The procession reached the Fair Courts at
Temple Bar without encountering anything
more than the usual horse play. 1t appears
that the police did not appreciate the bolster
GUS loyalty of the 800 students who came to
their aid, for when they attempted to locate
In Trafalgar Square they were at once dis
persed.
The procession passed on to and through
Trafalgar Square undisturbed The lord
mayor was groaned at at different points,
but aside from this nothing occurred calcu-
lated to disturb the peace. After the lord
mayors carriage had passed Williams the So
cialist leader, addressed the crowd from the
foot of the Nelson monument in Trafalgar
Square He declared Chat the unemployed
would show that they would hold an orderly
meeting and let the people know the amount
of distress existing among the workmen. Up
to this point the police showed no disposition
to interfere, but later on, whom the demon
strations Of the crowd became more pro-
nounced, the police, assisted by the life
guards, charged upon it and soon cleared the
square Only one arrest was made
