SHOW OF THE LORD MAYOR.
Thousands Of People View LOndOn'S
Annual Parade.


London, Nov. 9.-The annual circus pro-
vided by the city of London upon the oc-
casion Of the installation of the new
lord mayor was witnessed by tens of
thousands of people to-day.
Alderman George Robert Tyler, repre-
senting the Queen Hither ward, is the
new chief magistrate of the city, and he
assumed the reins of office with all the
pomp and ceremony attendant upon such
proceeding, to the disgust of many
thousands of unemployed people in Lon
don, who were of the opinion that the
money spent on such useless parade
might have been more benefiCially used
in providing some assistance for the fami-
lies of the starving poor of London.
EXPRESSIONS OF DIsAPPBOvAL sMoTHERED.
Then, again, the terrible distress exist
ing in the coal regions was recalled, and
il is not to be wondered at that several of
the more audacious spectators actually
made show of their opinion of the pro
cession, which outburst of feeling was
promptly smothered by the show-loving
public, who so dearly love lord mayors
show. The usual circus programme
formed a great attraction, however, and
business along the route which 1t fol-
lowed was suspended from early morning
until the close of the exhibition of munic-
jipal stupidity. The morning was bright
for London morning; that is to say, the
sun made desperate efforts to shine
through the mixture of fog and smoke
which always hovers over the great me
tropolis on the Thames
COLD FOR THE GIRLS.
The weather was quite cold for this time
Of the year, causing the airily-clad girls
upon the various symbolical cars to shiver
with the cold until their faces were al
most blue, and causing them to present a
pinched-up appearance which was posi-
lively distressing to behold. So chilly
did the symholical damsels appear, that
many young men of a iOCular turn of mind
at the various halts made by the process
sion as it wended its way to the city,
offered their ulsters to the shivering girls,
and there is no doubt that these garments
would have been thankfully accepted had
IL not been for the fact that u goddess
can hardly be expected to wear an In
Verness cape.
MODEL OF THE NEW BRIDGE.
One Of the features Of the cars was an
accurate and elaborate model of the new
tower bridge, which was really very at
tractive piece of work. The new Lord
Mayor succeeds Right Hon. Stuart Knil,
in whose election more than ordinary in
terest was taken, in view Of the fact that
he is a Roman Catholic and refused to
promise to conform to some of the observ-
ances of Professionalism incident to the Of
flee of lord mayor, and an energetic at
tempt was made to keep him out of Office.
Lord Mayor Tyler was born in 1895,
and is the son of a former alderman of
the corporation of the city Of London
The new lord mayor became member of
the corporation in 1877, and was appointed
an alderman ten years afterwards.
BOUND TO RULE THE OCEAN.
At the lord mayors banquet at the
Guild hall this evening Earl Spencer,
first lord of the admiralty, replied to the
toast TO the navy. He said that the
government was determined to develop the
navy. and to maintain England's supre-
macy on the sea- 1t was the intention to
make the navy efficient enough not only
to defend the shores of Great Britain,
but the distant colonies and English com
merce in every part of the globe. Earl
Spencer paid a glowing tribute to the
courage and discipline Of the brave men
who lost their lives by the sinking of the
battlcship Victoria.
ANGLO-AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP.
The toast to the ministers. in the abb
sence of Mr.. Gladstone and Lord Rose
berry. was responded to by the Earl of
Kimberly lord president of the council
and secretary for India. Lord Kimberly
said the foreign relations of Great
Britain were friendly, but the government
could not contemplate the increase in
the number of armed battalions In
the countries of Europe, which
made the continent seem almost like an
armed camp, without anxiety. There is
a very different state of things in another
continent" continued Lord Kimberly
I'VE have nothing to fear from our
friends and brethren on the American
continent. We and they have given many
signal proofs that the dissensions between
nations-and there are no greater nations
than the great American republic and our
own-can be settled without the arbitra-
ment of war"
BAYARD ALSO FELlCGToUs,
Mr. BaYard, the United States ambas-
sadOr, proposed n toast TO the late lord
mayor, and made a short, neat speech in
which he expressed his thanks for the
courtesy shown TO himself and the honor
paid 10 his country in the invitation to him
to join this evenings gathering. 1t was a
suggestion OF that kind Of intimacy that
came Of kindred blood that they had
asked him, who had only lived
a few months under the benig-
nant rule OF the ex-lord mayor to
propose his health. Even al the moment
Of the popular acclamation and triumph
Of the present lord mayor, he was dis
posed TO say Let others hail 10 the rising
sun. I bow 10 him whose course is run
lCheers, Mr.. Bayard wished to say to
his English cousins, perhaps he might
better say brothers Icheersl, that there
were few things that struck men who
held civil power more than the ceremo-
malls attending the revolution Of power.
He knew Of no place, except
where the English tongue was
spoken. where great public power
passed from hand to hand amid the accla-
nations of the people wherever it was ex-
ercised He had witnessed 1t in Amer
lea. With great impressiyeness he had
seen the power, both executive and legis-
latiye, over more chan 81, 900, 900 of people,
pass with quietness and assent amid the
acclamations Of the public. This was pos
sible because the reign of law continued,
and because the power Of the land passed |
from the hand Of one trusted servant |
10 the hand Of another What struck him |
most forcibly was the dignity with which |
power was yielded. In the worlds histo-
rs the trouble had been that statesmen |
would not readily yield power, but that |
was not .he AnglO-SaxOn theory of gov
