YELLING RUFFIANS ABROAD

lA the Streets of LOndon-They Come in collision With the Police And Are Quickly Scattsred-The City Quiet at Midnight.
 LONDON, Feb. 1O.-As each hour passes
 the riotous demonstrations assume more and
 more the characteristics of an anarchist out
 break and less and less those of labor move
 ment. The Cable News correspondent visited the Deptford district to day during the riot ing. All business was suspended and but
 for the groups of yelling rufhans who passed
 here and there, all apparently making toward the city, one would have thought it Sunday
 or holiday. The shopkeepers and members
 of their families could be seen now and then
 peeping apprehensively from second floor
 windows above the barricaded doors of their
 places of business. From a scrutiny
 of the crowds they moved
 about it was easily observable that
 there were very few mechanics or laborers in
 the streets. A detective from Scotland
 Yard, who recognized and eonversed with
 the reporter, pointed out at different times
 several hard looking fellows and remarked
 that they were ex-convicts and desperate
 characters who for some time had been keep
 ing out of the way of the police. ''They
 come out like rats from their holes on such
 occasions as this," he added, "and the cap
 tain sent few of us here to-day to keep our
 eyes open for them. We won't molest them
 to-day as it would only add to the disturb
 ance, but we know where to find them now
 and will nab them inside of week. I real state of mind among the honest poor. From what had read in certain or gans about the events of the past few days I was prepared to see repeated in London the terrible Parisian scenes so wildly described in Dickens ''Tale of Two Cities, :" but there was 8 notable absence of that grim desp2ir among the unfortunate poor which gave the events of one hundred years ago in the French capital their Hateful sig nifcance. A stalwart young weaver whom I met and interrogated assured me that like myself he was merely out to see what was going on. ''I have been without work seven months" he said, land I am lucky when do not go to sleep hungry, but how will better myself by smashing somebody's windows4" s'You might get bread by breaking a bakers win dow," suggested the reporter. "Yes, !" get bread from the parish if want to apply for it. But we workingmen stick together and share with one another all we can and we have not got to starvation nor stealing yet. We resolved at the meeting of our union last night to keep out of the streets and not help these blood tubs make a riot,' he added, point who wore red cloths around their hats and brandished clubs they strode along The rioters yelled constantly, but I could make out no particular words. Now and again the sound of breaking glass signi6ed the destruc- tion of the windows of some unlucky liquor l.n1 ,Io had x~ profit from the custom of the fdence had been misplaced. These shops were the only ones open, and as it became apparent that any demand for payment for liquor only led to the places being wrecked, these too gradually put up their shutters. The mobs moved on, converging until they reached the point where the main body of police had been stationed to intercept the movement. There was & brief but decisive collision between the representatives of the law and the creators of disorder and then the mob ea1ae fleeing back, spreading out as it went to avoid the concentrated attack of the pursuing police. l witnessed two of these collisions and then the spirit of the mob see ned cowed. There were excited groups gathered at the corners of the streets eager ly discussing the situation until late at night, but there seemed no disposition to rally in force for another onslaught o-morrow, however, there is likely to be recurrence of these events, and in fact every day until the government makes up it's mind to deal vigor- ously with the lawless element. Reproaches are heard on every side for the cowardly course of the authorities and it is to be hoped that they will soon be goaded by the complaints to performance of their duties.
 Midnight-At midnight the city was per fectly quiet. The streets were almost de- serted and the panics had entirely subsded. When the Deptford mob was making it's way toward the city, increasing in numbers every moment, the people of London un- doubtedly experienced genuine scare. In the streets were at least ten thousand wolf ish looking men who needed only leader to incite them to violence and -pillage. Their own indecision and lack of organization or purpose had a greater preventive effect than the presence of a strong force of police would have had under other conditions The crowds began to desert the streets about ten o'clock and an hour later idlers could be seen.
