RAINED ON PEAcEMAKERs.
Monster Procession in London Dispersed
 by q Deluge.

London, July 26.-A deluge of rain, which began early this afternoon and continued throughout the remainder of the day, had the effect of spelling the international socialist congress which will begin it's sittings here tomorrow. A number of trades societies and many socialists assembled upon the Thames embankment at noon and marched to Hyde Park. It is estimated that 10000 persons were in line when the process sion started, and this number was aug mented steadily after Hyde Park was reached until the rain began to fall. Eventually the heavy downpour com pelled the assembled crowd to break up into groups which took refuge under trees.
 Before dispersing, however, a resolu- ton was adopted and passed declaring that the only way to secure peace was through the abolition of the capitalist landlord system in which wars have root. Among the speakers who it was intended should address the meeting were NM. Jaures, Millerand and Cues de, members of the French chamber of deputies, and Herren Liebnecht and Bosle of the German reichstag. The list of speakers included no member of the house of commons. Tom Mann, the labor leader, and number of other socialists, were, according to the pro gram, to address the meeting.
