LONDON, July 25.-(Copyright, 1880.
The wave of Socialistic trouble which
swept over Lille, in France, stirred up
by the arrival of Herren Liebknecht,
tending the Socialist congress, in ses-
sion there this week, will reach London
tomorrow. Though Lille has the Social
istic mayor and deputy 1t is evident that
the people Of that city are not prepared
to swallow such wholesale outbursts of
Socialism as were indulged in by the
congress, and the result has been riots
of such character as would, If It hap
pened in Paris, says the Times, have
sent shiver throughout Europe.
The trouble started up with the post
ing Of placard by the municipality, in
viting the inhabitants to welcome their
brothers from abroad. Counter placards
were posted by Republicans, melting the
people to hiss the procession. So. when
the Socialist procession marched
through the city on Friday evening 1t
was greeted with cries Of "Viva la
France" and "a bas Prusse." The line
w oo OAOhCh anu tuC UcCdilC bCP-
arated from the procession. The mu-
sicians at the head Of the procession
were dispersed. The crowd waved their
tri-colored flags, which the Socialists
tried to seize and tear.
The international Socialist and trade
union congress begins at st. Martins
town hall on Mo1day. London will
doubtless receive all the anarchists and
Socialistic demonstrations incident to
the congress during the next week more
calmly than the ebullitions of the con-
gress at Lille were received there, as
the presence of Germans in London
furnishes no political provocation. Pre-
liminary to the congress there will be
monster demonstration in Hyde Park
tomorrow of Socialistic workers and
trade unionists, sin favor of internation-
al peace and amity." There will be
twelve platforms and as many different
chairmen, all of the latter well known
figures in labor circles. There will be
two delegates from the continent, who
will speak in French and German.
The congress which assembled on
Monday has four German delegates,
twenty-seven French and four from the
United States. The anarchists, as dis
tinguished from the Socialists, will hold
welcoming meeting Of their own in a
separate hall on Tuesday evening.
Among the notable people who will at
tend the meeting will be found Elise
Recklus, Princess Krapotyne, Sebas-
tian Faure, James Keir Hardy, Tom
Mann, Ben Tillette, Louise Michel and
others. They will join in the delibera-
tions of the congress.
Herr Leibknecht, Herr Singer and
other foreign delegates, reached Lon
don today.
The Chronicle and other London pa
pers published details Of the massacre
in the vicinity of Van, on June rs, of
thousands of Armenians. 1t is stated
that over forty villages were destroyed
and that every male person more than
years old has been killed On account
of this last massacre 81 the Armenians
societies interested in relief work in
Asia Minor have appealed once more
to the public for additional funds.
Public opinion, which q week ago was
decidedly adverse to Mr.. Balfour as a
parliamentary leader, has been rapidly
veering in his favor.
The London newspapers are devoting
much space to American politics.
The Daily News, for example, has COL
umn sketches of Gov. Mckinley and
William J. Bryan, the former by Mr.
Chauncey M. Depew and the latter by
Mr.. Morton Frewen.
The Saturday Review has an article
by Golden Smith, in which the writer
says that he believes that Bryan will
succeed at the presidential election.
A racing partnership has been formed
between Mr.. Pierre Lorillard and Lord
William Beresford. The horses will run
under the colors of either owner, as oc-
.casion requires. Mr.. Lorillard retains
a share in the management Of the COM
bined stables
