LONDON, April 29.-MaY Day in Englaut
promises to be peacefully observed Tn,
celebration of the day will be limited to
demonstration in Hyde Park, under tn,
auspices of the London Trades Council.
This demonstration will probably be con
fined to speeches 1t is already arranged
that 16 platforms shall be erected, from
which relays of speakers will address the
crowd.
The action of the authorities in arresting
the editor and publisher of the Anarchist
paper, the Comraonsosal, is likely to exercise
a wholesome restraint on those who are in.
clined to be turbulent The authorities
predict that everything will be quiet.
Resolutions will be adopted at each of the
Hyde Park meetings, declaring that the es-
tablishment of an international eight-hour
day will be the most important step toward
the ultimate freedom of the workingmen,
and urging Parliament to pass the eight
hour law.
Sham Anarchists Flock to England.
Nearly 100 foreign Anarchists. are said to
have arrived in London during the past
week, but the revolutionists declare that
the greater portion of them are sham An
archists sent by the continental police to
watch and report the doings of tine refugees
in London.
A mysterious incident, which many per-
sons connect with the Anarchists and their
preparations for May Day, occurred at
Fleetwood Tuesday night. A sentry on
guard at the magazine was attacked by two
men, who knocked him down and en-
deavored to take his rife from him. Dur
ing the struggle the sentry managed to
touch the electric bell communicating with
the guardroom. The men evidently heard
the soldiers run from the guardhouse,
whereupon the sentry's assailants fled.
The Unionists continue to make every
preparation for their mammoth anti-home
rule demonstration in Ulster. The Sc
riousness of the movement can be judged
from a speech made by the Marquis of Lon
donderry at Dublin last night, when he
said it is the duty of the Irish Unionists to
bring before the English voter the fact
that within 20 miles of his shores he might
have a hostile Parliament and hostile
country.
1t would be impossible, he declared, t
exaggerate the danger this would be to
England in case of foreign war The
Unionist convention, to be held in June,
must prove to the English that the Ulster
ties are determined to resist by every
means in their power any attempt to repeal
the union of Great Britain and Ireland.
The Marquis added:
eff home rule is carried there must be
civil war in Ireland" This statement pro-
duced tremendous cheering and cries of
"UlSter will fight" Ulster men could not
be handed over to the dictates of an Irish
Parliament, continued the Marquis, a ma
jority of whom they knew to be men whose
actions and words proved them disgrace to
any civilized country.
Earlier in the week the Duke of Devon
shire spoke at Derby. This was the first
time he had addressed political meeting
since his elevation to the House of Lords.
In his speech he drew parallel between
the condition of affairs at the time of the
great revolution and the state of affairs that
would be created by passing any home rule
measure that would be approximately salts
factory to the Nationalist.
The Right of Rebellion Affirmed.
He declared that in the event of the
adoption of such home rule measure the
Protestant minority of Ulster would be SUBJ
ject to the tyranny, not of King. but of
majority dominated bv the same alien creed
in Its least form. He maintained that the
right of resistance which belonged to their
foretathers also belonged to their cotem-
Itraries, although they must avail them
selves of the right at their own risk, and
stand ready to be praised or condemned ac-
cording to as they succeeded or the reverse.
The Endorsement of the Ulster movement
by two such men as the Marquis of London
derry and the Duke of Devonshire has
caused a sensation, and has shown how
deeply serious the movement is.
The Liberals in Parliament have been
congratulating themselves Tor few days
past upon report that the Speaker would
not allow Mr.. Blame to make his proposed
motion, that the time has now arrived to
grant home rule to ireland, and that Mr..
Gladstone's ingenuity would not be taxed
in making reply to the motion, which, it
is considered, is nothing more or less than
au attempt to force from Mr. Gladstone
declaration Of what his home rule bill will
be.
The Liberals Badly Nonplused.
The Liberals contended that Mr. Blane's
motion could not be heard ON Friday week,
as II had been forestalled by Mr..
clarke, who gave notice of his intention to
raise the question of legislation regarding
local affairs in Great Britain and Ireland
to-day, and, according to the Liberal inter-
probation Of the rules, question having
been debated and disposed of one week
cannot be again discussed at a subsequent
date; but this afternoon, when Mr.. Nc
Carthy asked whether the discussion of Mr..
Clarke's motion would not prejudice Mr.
Blane's motion, the Speaker gave a cold
chill to the Liberals and McCarthyites by
that the discussion would in no
way prejudice or interfere with Mr.. Blane's
motion.
the newspaper, Modern Society. comment
ing on the anti-Socialists' praise of Ameri-
can women, takes occasion to make a most
vile and despicable attack upon Americans.
The writer, who presumably knows as'much
about the subject Of American women as he
does Of any other, says that the horrible inn |
purity of the most fashionable girls in the
largest cities of the Union is well known.
''The Deacon marriage, minus the pistol |
shot," he adds, sis the typical American |
menage. The truth is London society is |
impure there Americans will be apt to ad- |
NIT that the writer speaks from knowledgel |
though, may be, after all is said and done, it |
s'less SO than society in New York"
