Extraordinary Precautions to Preserve

Mar the Days Festivities.
! LONDON, Nov. 9.-The weather was very
| unfavorable for the celebration of Lord
Mayors day to-day, being gloomy and threat
| ening. Hundreds of roughs filed the streets
| making their way toward the sections where
| the Socialists had arranged to assemble. The
| battalions of police were loudly. cheered as
they passed along to different points. the
streets of the city and the West End present
ed remarkable appearance. All the shut
tiers of the shops were drawn and barricaded
and the iron ratings were boarded with stout
timber. Banks and other buildings were Sc
cured in similar manner. These precau-
lions were not confined to the buildings on
the route of the Lord Mayors procession, but
extended to the streets far removed. An en-
counter occurred between the police and a
mob eight hundred strong marching in a
body into Trafalgar Square. The mob halted
in the square and attempted to take up po-
sition, but the police separated them and
cleared the square, pushing the crowd toward
the Thames embankment. There they re-
NAMED, hooting and grooming at all repre-
sentatives of the law. A feature of the day
students marching through the Strand five
abreast and armed with heavy bludgeons.
Their avowed purpose was to aid the police
in preserving the peace. A Gordon was
drawn across the Whitechapel district at the
lower end of the city by the Life Guards for
the purpose of shutting off any body of East
End socialists which might attempt a dem
onstration in the rear of the procession.
A detachment of Life Guards, while pass
ing through Queen Victory street, were
groaned at by small knot of roughs. The
majority of the assembled crowd, however,
watched their progress in silence. As Gen
eral Warren, chief commissioner of police,
rode through the city at the head of a de-
tachment two socialists called to him re-
questing an answer to yesterdays note askin 3
his reasons for prohibiting their proposed
meeting General Warren referred them to
his proclamation. The procession started
without mishap at the appointed hour,
and fer the first mile its progress
was marked ..oysd tho no ,a dlso1dsf
thing more than the usual horse play. The po-
lice did not appreciate the bosterous loyalty
of the three hundred students who came to
their aid, for when they tried to locate them
selves in Trafalgar Square they were at once
dispersed. 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
calculated to disturb the peace. After the
Lord Mayors carriage had passed John Will
liams, the Socialist leader, addressed the
crowd from the foot of the Nelson monument
the populace would show that they
could hold an orderly meeting to
let the public know the amount
of distress which at present existed among
the workingmen of England. Another
speaker said: All the power of the country
in Trafalgar Square. Our reply to all this
is that we are here. I do not desire to use
rash language, but L mean all I say. We want
food, work and dwelling places for all and
we will have them. The socialists pledged
the unemployed of London that they would
make this demonstration to-day to contrast
before the world the extreme poverty of
London's unemployed with the extreme
wealth and plenty of the city's upper
classes and the socialists have kept their
word. We have given this answer to
Sir Charles Warren. Resolutions of q proper
kind will be adopted and they will be sent
to the MARQUIS of Salisbury and to Lord
Randolph Churchill and they will be COM
PEELED to listen to them. The speaker con-
tinued The Socialists will continue their
work until every vestige of tyranny shall be
swept away. Our organization is the only
one which dares to take the proper position
on behalf of the poor and oppressed. We are
not here to break the peace. We are here to
agitate in peaceful manner for work for all
and oyerwork for none
Resolutions asking the government to
provide work for the unemployed and to
duce to eight the number of hours eonsti-
tuting a days work were carried amid loud
cheering, and the group which adopted them,
and which had by this time absorbed nearly
all the multitude remaining in the square,
dispersed, cheering for the promised social
revolution. Most of the people who had
composed this audience at once went away.
Others loitered around and joined various
throngs attracted to the scene.
A number of anti socialists attempted to
hold counter demonstration in Trafalgar
Square. They were attacked and roughly
handled by their opponents and driven from
the scene. The police and life guards inter
fered and cleared the square. The work was
not difficult and but one arrest was made.
A section of the crowd went from Trafal
gar Square to the residence of the Mar
quis of Salisbury and attempted to
make demonstration there. They were,
however, dispersed easily by the police. For
q long time after the close of the proceedings
in Trafalgar Square large crowds of men
sauptered through the streets. Several ugly
rushes occurred between them and the po-
lice, but nothing of serious nature hap
pened and but little hooting was done. The
mounted police We're everywhere hooted and
groaned at by the moving mob.
The Marquis of Salisbury in his speech at
the Lord Mayors banquet in the Guild Hall
this evening said that the Conservative par
ty occupied position in Irish affairs which
it was impossible to misinterpret Their
business was to accomplish legislation favor
able to the integrity of the empire and to en-
force laws which had long been neglected
and trodden under foot Although the Con-
servatives had been but a short while in
power they could legitimately claim that
public confidence was considerably restored
and that the relations between landlord and
tenant were much improved. The foreign
policy of the government, Lord Salisbury
said, was highly important, especially with
clared, was bound to accomplish her
work in Egypt by pledges 80 distinct
that she could not possibly retreat until that
country was made secure against foreign OPP
preston and domestic order was restored.
Referring to the situation in the East, Lord
Salisburys language was diplomatic. The
menacing attitude toward Bulgaria
European State, ne said, had caused the
deepest regret. A midnight conspiracy led by
naen who had been debauched
wlth foreign gold had hunted
Prince Alexander of Battenburg from
the throne of Bulgaria and by 30
doing had outraged the conscience and SEN
timent of all Europe. The injustice OF this
was aggravated by the fact that foreign d.
plomacy had inteposed to save the lives and
obtain the liberty of the consplrator. The
