LONDON. Nov. 9.-Lord mayors day
opened gloomy and dark. Police and SOL
diers guarded all the streets and the shops
were closed and barricaded in anticipation
of riot The procession started at the
usual hour and proceeded over the assigned
route without anything happening beyond
the usual horse play incident to the occasion.
When the procession passed trafalgar
square it met with no demonstration on
the part of the crowds except some cheer
ing and hooting. the latter being especially
directed at the lord mayor. After the
show had gone by the mob at once surged
over into the square and soon formed a
dense throng about the Nelson monument.
A number OF men mounted the pedestal at
fifteen points. Some of these waved red
flags. and the square soon became scene
of excitement, but the crowd divided into
many small groups, and no trouble ensued
until a number of anti-socialists attempted
to hold a counter demonstration.
THEY WERE ATTACTED
and roughly handled by their opponents,
and driven from the scene. The police and
Life guards interfered and cleared the
square. The work was not difficult. and
but one arrest was made. A section of the
crowd went from Trafalgar square to the
residence of the Marquis of Salisbury and
attempted to make demonstration there.
They were, however. dispersed easily by
the police. For long time after the close
of the proceedings in Trafalgar square
crowd saunteled through the
streets. Several ugly ruptureS &C.
Cured between them and the police,
but nothing of a serious nature happened.
At the reception by Lord Chief Justice
COleridge of the lord mayor. Sir Reginald
Hansen, at the court of eXchequer, his
lordship advised the corporation OF London
to forestall others, and themselves under
take an inquiry into the municipal reforms
which are bound sooner or later to be made.
He said:
The residents Of the greater part of Lon
don are anxious to obtain share in that civil
and municipal life which distinguishes the
city proper.
LORD SALISBURY,
speaking at Lord Mayor Hansen's banquet
in the Guild hall tonight. said:
The Conservatives occupied position on
Irish affairs which it was impossible to mis-
interpret. Their business was TO legislate in
favor of the integrity of the empire and to
enfore laws which had long been neglected
and trodden under foot. He believed the
Conservatives could claim that public conf
dence was somewhat restored, and that the
relations between landlord and tenant were
better than formerly. Foreign affairs, he
continued were at present of high import
ance. the affairs of Egypt being OF
special interest. The stay OF the En-
glish in Egypt had been upheld by
politicians of ali parties as one of limited
duration. That limit was not time limit,
but a limit of work which England was bound
to accomplish by pledges so distinct and so
often repeated that she could not retreat.
The English could not leave Egypt until that
country was secure from foreign oppression,
and until order had been restored in domestic
affairs. The government was encouraged IN
this task by growing proofs OF
ADVANCING PROSPERITY IN EGYPT,
Her finances were more promising than
they had ever been, although they had not
reached point that would enable he govern
ment to declare its task fulfilled. Further,
England could not leave Egypt until the
latter's independence of foreign interference
had been secured. Referring to Bulgaria,
Lord Salisbury said the sympathes of the
English PEG pie were aroused b. the spectacle
of her struggle for independence, and that
the language of diplomatic menace used
toward Bulgaria had caused the deepest regret.
m.duigh hit conspiracy. led by men debauched
by foreign gold, had hunted Prince Alexander
from the throne OF Bulgaria and outraged the
conscience and sentiment of Europe. The
injustice of this deed was aggravated by for
eign diplomacy saving the consplrators, an
act of interference which caused the warmest
reprobation throughout Europe Bulgarian
rights were assured b, the Berlin treaty, on
which the salvation of Europe depended.
English Interest in that treaty was not an
isolated interest. Other powers also were
interested in the vindication of the treaty.
He was sure that if a majority of the sigma
tory powers recognized the fact that it was
their duty to
ENFORCE THE TREATY,
England would not be found backward in CO.
operating with them. Cheers. If England S
individual interests only were affected, En-
gland would ask no counsel and would seek
no assistance, but would defend her interests
with her own arm. But in this instance she
] would not accept the responsibility of isolated
action The governments policy was shaped
in harmony with that OF Austria. He trusted
that the peace would not be disturbed and
that under the influence of public opinion
the infant liberties OF Bulgaria would not be
impaired.
Lord Salisbury, in proposing a toast in
honor of the lord mayor. said ht believed
the municipal institut OnS would last as
long as other British institutions He con-
graduated the lord mayor upon his being
the dispenser of the citys help to relieve
the distress of the poor. whose prospects he
hoped the reviving trade would brighten.
The lord mayor responding, promised to
inquire into the extent of distress and to
endeavor to discover the best remedy for
it's relief. The usual tOaSts followed. Sew
eral of the speakers referred to the regu-
larity of the days proceedings.
