LONDON. Nov. 9-The Lord Mayor
show which marked the induction OF
A. J. Newton into office was favored
to-day by exceptionally brilliant weath-
er. Anticipated floats failed to satisfy
the London crowds who poured out IN
enormous numbers to vent their martial
enthusiasm The streets were lavlsnly
decorated with flags, but the absence
of detachment of the Household Cav
airy and the substitution of a NUMBER
of schoolboy brigades testified to the
presence of the veterans at the 'front.'
A car representing Great Britain, sur
rounded by her sons, the Canadian and
Australian volunteers. evoked hearty
applause, as did the boys of the Duke
of Yorks Royal Military School.
The crowds, however, wanted khaki
uniforms, and refused to be reconc1led
with the Lord Mayors coach and other
emblems of purely civic power.
In introducing the new Lord Mayor
at the Law Courts this afternoon, the
Recorder referred to certain charges
against Mr.. Newton in connection with
company promotion, and assured the
Justices that the Lord Mayor courted
the fullest inquiry.
The Lord Chief Justice said he had
heard the statement with considerable
relief, adding that the community
would heartily rejoice when the Lord
Mayor had cleared his reputation.
Mr. Newton is a director in eight COM
panies, some Of which are said to be
under clouds. One of these companies
is dubbed las being SO notorious that
IQ1s ld
might be necessary to refer it to the
attention of the Public Prosecutor.
At the Guild Hall banquet the Mar
quis of Salisbury, Lord Wolseiey, Mr..
Richie, Lord Hamilton, Lord Halsbury,
the Lord Chief Justice, the Duke OF
Marlborough and few minor diplo-
mats were present. Mr.. chamberlain
was absent Lord Salisbury and Lord
Wolseley were warmly cheered as they
passed from the reception in the IL
brary into the banquet hall.
The Lord Mayor proposed 1.-THE Min
isters'' in a speech in which he vlgor-
ously denounced 1.-The ignorant AFRO
gance of the invader" dwelling on the
fact that Sir Alfred Miner, in spite OF
herculean exertions, was unable 10
prevail with the overbearing, corrupt
oligarchy; therefore, ,other of our cham
pions have the business in hand
During the course of the banquet
Lord Wolseley announced that orders
had been given to mobilize another di-
vision for South Africa, and that the
Government was quite prepared to
mobilize a second army corps.
Lord Salisbury, rising at a quarter
a ord
greeted with intense enthusiasm, pro-
longed cheering and general waving
Of handkerchiefs. The Premier said;
1T have had to answer for many years
similar kind receptions in this hail. but
never before under conditions Lnat
justified me in appealing so confidently
to your sympathy and support as III
the present grave state Of public afralrs.
Before turning to this serious point
my duty is to inform you that our stu
alton in South Africa is the only part
of our relations with other nations TO
which any term of apprehension or
doubt can be applied
For several years our relations with
and cordial feelings toward our kins-
men on the other side of the Atlantic
have been constantly growing, and
though neither we interfere in the al
fairs Of their country, nor they inter
fere in the affairs of ours, we feel we
can always look for sympathy and a
fair hearing among those who share
with us so vast a mission for the ad-
vancement of mankind.
But perhaps you think l am san
guine in saying that on the continent
of Europe we have no hostility to fear
There is undoubtedly a certain acerbity
of tone among the writer's for the for
eign press, but do not believe that the
trend of this opinion affects the peoples
of foreign nations. / fam quite certain
it does not affect their Governments
and 1 will say that I have noted, as
one of the cheering symptoms of the
present time, the happy relations ex-
listing between the United StatesN and
ourselves (cheers), and the sympathy
with which we watch their approach to
the same great problems that we our
selves have had to solve. That is not
to say that do not feel the greatest
sympathy with their late antagonist,
the kingdom of Spain. We entertain
