Violent Speeches.

Preparations Making for Monster Meetings il

LONDON, April 29.-May lay IN Eng
land promises TO be peacefully observed.
The celebration of the day will be con-
fined to a demonstration in Hyde Park
under the auspices of the London Trades
Council. This demonstration will pro-
badly be confined TO speeches. II is al
ready arranged that sixteen platforms
shall be erected from which relays OF
speakers will address the crowd.
The list includes the names OF Cum
ningham Graham, the Socialist who
represents the Northwest division Of
Lanarkshire in the House of Commons;
Tom Mann and Ben Tillett, the labor
leaders. The action Of the authorities
in arresting the editor and publisher OF
the Anarchist paper, the Common Veal.
is likely to exercise a wholesome re-
straint on those who are inclined TO be
turbulent.
The authorities predict that every
thing will be quiet. Resolutions will be
adopted at each of the Hyde Park meet
ings declaring that the establishment of
an international eight-hour day will be
the most important step toward the
ultimate freedom of the working men,
and urging parliament to pass the eight
hour law.
The Unionists continue to make every
preparation for their mammoth home
rule demonstration in Ulster. The
seriou sness of the movement can be
Judged from a speech made by the
Marquis OF Londonderry at Dublin last
night. He said that it was the duty OF
the Irish Unionists to bring before the
English voter the fact that within
twenty miles of his shore he might
have a hostile parliament and hostile
country. 1t would be impossible, he
declared, to 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
Obstetrics are determined to resist by
every means in their power any attempt
to repeal the union OF Great Britain and
Ireland. The Marquis added: IF home
rule is carried there must be civil war in
Ireland" This statement produced tre-
mendous 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 majority Of whom they knew to be
men whose actions and words proved
them d disgrace to any civilized coun-
try"
Earlier in the week the Duke OF De.
vonshire 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 par
allel 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 satisfactory to
the Nationalist.
He declared that in the event OF the
adoption of such home rule measure
the protestant minority of Ulster would
be subject to the tyranny, not of king,
but of a majority dominated by the
SEINE alien creed in its least form. The
endorsement of the Ulster movement
by two such men as the Marquis OF
Londonderry and the Duke OF Doven-
shire has caused a sensation, and has
shown how deeply serious the question
is.
The newspaper Modern Society COM
menting on the anti-socialist praise OF
American women takes occasion to
make most vile aud despicable attack
upon Americans. The writer Of the ar
ticle, who presumably knows as much
about the subject OF American women
as he does OF any other, says that
the horrible imDurity OF the
most fashionable girls In the
largest cities OF the Union is well
known. "The Deacon marriage, minus
the pistol shot," he adds, lis the typical
American marriage The truth is that
London society is impure, but Ameri-
cans will be apt to admit that the
writer speaks from knowledge-though
NAV be, after all is said and done, 1t is
less so than society in New York."
The private view at the Academy to-
day attracted the usual crowd Of cele-
brjties. The weather was cold am
rainy and the visitors were attired IN
winter clothing. The galleries were
filed throughout the afternoon. Among
the visitors were seen the Archbishop
Of Canterbury, Arch Deacon Farrar,
Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone, Mr.. BalfOur
and Sir Wm. Vernon Harcourt.
