police have made all possible arrangements
Tor resisting any attempts at disorder.
At an early hour with shouts the roughs
began to come from the slums and make
their way toward the section where the So
cialists had arranged to assemble. Bat.
talions OF police, in parading to different
parts, received hearty cheers from the
people.
The streets Of the city and the West End
present remarkable appearance. All the
shutters OF the shops are drawn and Darri-
caded, and the iron railings are boarded
with heavy timber Banks and other build
ings are secured in similar manner These
precautions are not confined to buildings on
the route Of the Lord Mayors procession,
but extend to streets far removed. Suburban
police and reserves have been posted at
prominent points, and large military force
and all the household troops are in readiness
II their assistance is needed.
AT 10 o'clock force of police occupied
the north side of Trafalgar square. Shops
In the vicinity are closed and the doors and
windows OF jewelry establishments are
heavily barred. Many students with sticks
have gathered about the square. A crowd
of loaiers arrived and were allowed to pro-
ceed to the entrance of the square. There
turned into the Strand. Mounted police
cleared the roadway. The throng at Trafal-
gar square is increasing to vast proportions,
but the police keep admirable order.
Sir Charles Warren, commissioner Of the
metropolitan police, visited the square this
morning, and indicated the positions to
which the policemen should be assigned.
trlfiing encounter occurred in Trafalgar
Square about noon. A mob of 800, marching
In body, was separated by the police, who
cleared the square and pushed the crowd
toward the Thames embankment. The mob
halted, and hooted and groaned at the Off
GERS. Three hundred medical students, five
abreast, armed with bludgeons, proceeded
along the Strand to aid the police. A guard
was drawn up and formed into Gordon
across Whitechapel, shutting out the east
end socialists. These guards, in passing
through Victoria street, were saluted with
groans by small knot of roughs but the
majority of collected crowds watched their
progress in silence.
Two socialists called upon Sir Charles
Warren today, and requested an answer to
their letter Of yesterday, enquiring why the
proposed socialistic demonstration had been
prohibited. Sir Charles referred them TO his
proclamation, which he said would give
them the reason.
The procession started at the usual hour.
and proceeded over the route without any
thing Of note happening At O'Clock the
crowd at Trafalgar Square had grown colos-
sal, the rough element predominating. No
disturbance Of any account had occurred up
TO that hour.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-At the inquest in the

ting, and that the cause of his arrangement

The People Of Ireland and Pack
Rents.
DUBLIN, Nov. 9-In an interview
with newspaper representative at
Ion, NJ. p, said: Many of the
largest landlords have recently shown dis
position to act far more reasonably than in
1880, although a number of them refuse re-
is now admitted that the judicial rents fixed
before 1880 and rack rents cannot be
paid, and Lord Lansdowne's letter granting
to his tenants an abatement Of twenty per
cent of the judicial rents is considered by the
government to be an admission Of the fact.
The land courts are now giving reductions
more than double those of previous years,
and some rents have recently been fixed by
them at little more than half of the sum
required by Griffith's law. Under these cir
cumstances it cannot be expected that peo-
pie will pay pressed rents.
The number of land meetings is rapidly in
creasing, and the state Of the country Is
becoming more like that of 1880, with the
difference that, the people having learned
the power they can exercise by peacefully
combining, outrage is almost totally absent.
The plan proposed by United Ireland OF
determined refusal to pay rents, unless re-
duced. meets with general approval, and
there is no doubt that the people will adopt
it if the landlords drive them to it. The
Dublin National League Is resolved to use
all the money received from America to help
the tenants on those estates where the best
and most determined fight is made against
the collection of rack rents, and there Is not
the slightest doubt that this plan, faithfully
followed, will render the position of the
tenants impregnable.
In county Longford, where Mr.. Dillon is
stumping, agitation has been very inactive
lately, although some Of the worst of the
| landlords are refusing to grant any reduc-
tions whatever; but the people are rousing
| from their lethergy and lively times are
| promised.
