SERIOUS TROUBLE PREDICTED.

Democratic Federation, disclaims any
responsibility for the actions Of the
mob yesterday. He predicts that
trouble OF q very serious propoi I on

crowd and dispersed them.
ALARM SPREADING TO ALL PARTS OF

Trafalgar Square was estimated 10 be

the streets, and trsfIic is for the time
being brought to stand-still. The
spirit OF the mob to-day is aggressive.

Kissed and insulted. During the

Some one said the turnout was the

The police, however by vigorous

Nothing, 1t would seem, but the want
Of some popular leader, prevents the
mob from exerting its strength in
some organized movement which
might bring about the most dis
astrous results, During the afternoon
the police charged the mob twice, in
full force for the purpose of breaking
it up and driving them from Trafalgar
Square, but both efforts wereabsolutely
futile. The mob would yield q little |

The temper OF the mob is perceptibly |

down to the scene and all the pave

rows on either side of the streets
being no where less than six men
