Socialists assembled in Trafalgar So uare yes
terday afternoon. with the intention of hold.
ing u meeting, but being overswed BY the
strong body Of police on the ground, they
made no attempt to organize or deliver
speeches, and finally adjourned to tho
Thames embankment They were not fol-
lowed by the police, the only object Of
whose presence in force in the Square was
to prevent meeting At that place, and no
attempt was made To hinder the urganiza-
ton Of . meeting on the embankment or
to interfere with its progress. The usual
speeches were delivered by the leaders, and
. set Of resolutions WAS passed requesting
the Government to establish relief works
for the unemployed. The meeting was very
enthusiastic, but entirely orderly. The Gov
ernment has conceded 70 Sir Charles Russell
two days ago in which to discuss his resolu-
ton OF inquiry into the question of the
right to hold meetings in Trafalgar Square,
the authority Of the police to interfere to
prevent them and the conduct OF the Gov
ernment in having 50 interfered with the
result of bloodshed. 1t Is expected that the
debate on the address in reply TO the Queens
speech will close on February q, but the
discussion of some Of the matters compris-
ing it and the numerous amendemens
thereto may delay the termination of the
debate beyond the calculation of the mA-
jority leaders

Crown Prince Frederick William in his
rapid recovery from the effects Of the shock
of the operation performed upon him last
Thursday. has caused great rejoicing in Ber-
lin. and expressions Of congratulation were
general in the public resorts OF the German
Capital throughout the day. The physi-
clans OF the Crown Prince expected that he
would be Obliged T. remain in bed at least
. fortnight and the public were prepared
TO believe that the expectations of the doc
tors were by no means singular in view OF
the circumstances. Hopes are now revived
that the Crown Prince is on the road to
complete recovery, despite the contention
OF the German physicians. who originally
attended him. that he is afflicted with cam

quite recently France has devoted . great
deal of attention to the training Of horses
for cavalry service, but that work has now
ceased altogether, to the mystification Of

gave the order for its discontinuance. Re-

resent that there is even more activity on
the part of Russia on the Galician frontier
than was observable month ago but Of
course these statements, in view of the
channels through which they come, must
be regarded as not altogether trustworthy.
