LONDON. June 2l-Mr. w. ii. smith IN

nounoed that the government had reached
the conclusion that it would be impossible

an appropriation OF a certain portion Of the

a view to extinguishing licenses and also

posil 70 oonfer upon the county councils

Disposal OF the Moneys.
Tn aocorlanoe with the governments de-
cision they would ask the house TO agree
to an amendment by which the moneys
alloted for the extinguishment Of licenses
shall be invested and accumulated uptil
an act shall be passed directing how they
shall be applied The ministry trust 4
that the practical result of the change
would be that the money remain ear

MIR. Gladstope's Views.
Mr. Gladstone thought that the proposed

| lie better that the government should con-
slider the pgopriety Of giving up the idea Of
earmarling the money. It was Of no prac-
tical effect, and its withdrawal would in no
way weaken the position of the governments.
Mr. Smith said the government could not
disregard the fact that the principle Of pur-
chase had received the approval Of the
house by large majority. CCries Of "Only

lated would be disposed of BY parliament.
Mr. Smith further said, In answer TO a

CHICAGO, May 1.-The greatest labor
demonstration ever witnessed in Chi
eago closed it's ranks at 1880 o'clock
this afternoon, and in solid lines nearly
$4,000 meu marched to the notes of
music furnished by numerous bands.
At the hour named the procession
started from Monroe and Peoria streets
and marched east. The United Brother
hood of carpenters headed the process
sion, the Carpenters Union No. and
the Amalgamated carpenters and join
ers followed. These, with Knights
of Labor carpenter assemblies,
formed a line of about 5000
the United Order of American Brick
LAYERS and Stonemasons-about 5000.
Then, in order named, came coal un-
leaders, cIoakmakerS, woodwOrkers'
union, lathers. turner's organizations,
about 1.20n strong; metal cornice max
ers, iron molders. metal workers, typo
graphical unions, wood carvers and
turner's, Bohemian wood machine work.
ers. n. K. Fairbanks employees, paper
hangers, cloak and pants makers,
tailors, German typographical union.
boilermakerS. gas tItters. bOXmakerS,
sawyers, harness makers and many
others. Banners, flags and notices
were plentifully displayed, and the SEN
timents expressed on the notices caused
tremendous cheers from the thrOngS
of spectators that crowded the line
of march. Everything moved smoothly.
and not the slightest disturbance or
Wrangle occurred. The procession was
easily four miles long and most of the
paraders were four abreast and the
ranks were crowded close together. The
strength expected from the stockyards
did not materialiZe. Instead Of 10000
men as expected. less than 1000 APP
peared in line. After parading over the
line of march the procession moved to
the Lake Front park. where the an
nouncement that Congressman Frank
Lawler, Judge Tuthill, Judge Prender-
CAST and others would speak had drawn
an immense crowd. There were fully
"a 460people on the gr0undin addition to
those that had taken part in theparade.
Owing to some misunderstanding, no
speakers stands had been erected in the
park, and the carriages bearing the
speakers were therefore driven to diff
ferent places in the park, and from
them the crowd was addressed. The
orators spoke on the labor question, and
from the applause that followed their
remarks, it was evident that the multi
tude was well pleased. Up to late
hour there had been no trouble at the
stock yards. Several of the houses were
closed to allow the men to take part in
the parade. The police on duty there
did not anticipate any trouble.

FLAUNTED THE RED FLAG.
New York Socialists as Meek as

New YORK. May 1.-The New York
city end Of the worldwide labor demon
stration tonight was not a great
success as far as the numbers who
paraded and who attended the Union
Square mass meeting was concerned.
The threatening weather may have
kept many away. Probably not more
than 1000 people were at the speakers
stand at one time. In the procession
that preceded there were about 5000
paraders. 1t was not the meet
ing that the labor leaders
expected - $4,000 men = but the
rain partly excused this apparent
want of enthusiasm. The meeting was
under the auspices of the Socialistic
labor party. The fear that there might
be some trouble had induced the police
to make very careful precautions. In
the shadows behind the combination
cottage and speakers stand were fifty
blue coats with long night sticks, ready
to curb any incipient disturbance.
another squad of policemen were in the
neighborhood. But the police had no
excuse to use their weapons for the
martial strains of the Marsellaise did no
more than stir up some enthusiasm.
Resolutions were adopted by the meet
ing which recited the fact that the day
mad been fixed by the American
Federation of Labor as the Inaugural
ration of the eight hour move
ment. That the international labor
congress at Paris last July had issued
such call to the Workingmen of the
world. That the carpenters have
opened the eight-hour battle. The eight
hour demand is only temporary relief
from the workings of capitalism.
That nothing but socialism will
solve the labor question. There
fore, it was resolved that
demand be made that the hours of labor
be reduced to eight. 1t should be de-
creed by statute, that in the struggle
the ultimate object, the abolition OF the
wage system be not lost sight of-the
triumph of socialism. There were three
speakers stands. At the princi-
pal one Mr.. Dela5ar acted as
chairman. The principal speaker
was the well-known labor leader Sergius
E. Schevitch. He said that the less
hours a man spent at work the more he
could have to think about himself.
This meeting was the beginning of the
end, but that the end would not come
until they had the earth and the full
ness thereof. He concluded by asking
all to be true to the red flag.
There were eighteen of these red flags
displayed upon the stand, but among
all the banners and transparencies only
two United States flags were seen, and
one of those had huge skull and cross
bones printed beneath the starry field.
