LONDON, Feb. 9.-Sparline, a Socialist
leader, in an interview in relation TO the
part taken by the Socialists in the demon
STATIONS yesterday said that while he did
not approve of rioting, still he could not
but rejoice at an event which tended to
show that society was insecure. In regard
to the stone throwing at the Carlton Club,
Sparkling said the members of that body had
brought attack upon themselves by an,
pearing at the windows and laughing and
Jeering at the mob. In explanation of
the rough treatment to which a lady had
been subjected by the rioters, he said her
carriage had been stopped because the
lady was heard to order her coachman to
drive over the dogs" The mob, Spar
ling said, selected and attacked shops
which exhibited the Royal arms.

THE CROWD ASSEMBLING AGAIN TODAY.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-The police showed
that they were entirely powerless to cope
with such force as that with which they
were confronted yesterday. In anticipa-
ton of another demonstration to-day,
small crowds of roughs have been pour
ing into Trafalgar square from different
points of the city, and at this hour the
crowd assembled there numbers fully
5000. None of the leaders, however, Of
yesterdays disturbances have made their
appearance as yet, and whether any pro-
gramme has been determined on for
another outbreak is not known.
SHOPS CLOSED.
West End to-day wears holiday an
pearance. A general feeling of alarm
and insecurity is felt among the residents
OF that quarter and most of the shops are
closed. Tradesmen are indignant at the
lack of protection afforded them by the
authorities and at the impotency of the
police. No instructions have vet been
given to the police as to what course to |
pursue in the event of further outrapes
by the mob, and the shopkeepers feel that |
they are entirely unguarded against the |
pillage aud destruction Of their property. |
Though it is well known who the |
leaders OF the mob were, none of them
have been arrested. The tradesmen pro- |
pose to send a petition to the home Office
demanding that they be afforded protec-
ton from the depiedations of the mob.
Hyndman, the president of the demo-
cratic federation, disclaims any RESPONSE.
