Trafalgar square, London, was the
scene Sunday OF a meeting which will be-
come historic as showing the strong drift
OF the masses in England toward war. A
peace demonstration had been advertised
to be held In the square, where Nelson
ON the top Of his monument has looked
down on many gathering significant of
popular opinion when the tide Of feeling
runs high. The leaders Of the peace party
were to make enc last, supreme effort
and demonstration to influence public
opinion. The radical press during the
past week gave conspicuous place to no
tees of the coming meeting, while the
other papers were ominously silent,
though a suggestion was dropped that
counter demonstration was not unlikely.
Acting upon this hint, Britons OF both
persuasions were present Sunday, but, as
events soon showed conclusively, the war
party was overwhelmingly in the ascend
ant. Only one speaker essayed to plead
for peace. What he said is matter Of
conjecture, as no sooner had he begun
than on the outskirts of the crowd of 5O,-
600 people some one started Rule Brit
annia." The chorus soon rolled over the
square and swallowed up all other sounds.
Nevertheless the speaker continued his
address with an earnestness and determi-
nation fully as British as that of his hos
tile audience, but not long. Soon mis-
siles Of various kinds-decayed apples,
aged eggs and whatever else came handy
-hurtled through the air; rushes were
made upon the stand, soldiers who hap
pened to be present were carried on the
shoulders Of the crowd and only the ap-
pearance and prompt action of mounted
police enabled the speaker and his friends
to escape with their lives. What was in
tended to be a protest against the drift OF
events toward war was turned into
demonstration that showed Enthusiastically
that the tide of English feeling now runs
TOO high in the Transvaal affair to be
stayed by public discussion.
Not only from the Trafalgar square
meeting, but from the general tone OF
the English press and of the people,
wherever the latter have given expression
to their views, il Is clear that the nation
Is back of Salisbury and Chamberlain
and that IL is only among scholarly states
men such as Morley, or writer's such as
Frederic Harrison, that peace finds advo-
Gates. Even these seem to recognize the
futility Of their attempts to stem the cur
rent.
Press comment is altogether partisan,
the Government organs approving the
crowd and the opposition claiming it was
a preconcerted movement. Johannesburg
advices report wholesale dislocation of
the Rand mining industry. All the mines
are closing; all the Boer defenses are
being strengthened. War seems the only
possible outcome unless Kruger takes
heed Of the coming storm and bends be-
fore il.

MILLIONS TO REPAIR SHIPS.

A special from Washington says that il
is already apparent to naval experts that
the Government will have to spend sew
eral million dollars in reftting for active
service the vessels which composed Ad-
miral Dewey's feet when it destroyed
Spain's naval power in the far East. Sec
retary Long has approved the making Of
repairs to the cruiser Raleigh, which will
cost approximately 100000. The report
Of the board of survey which inspected
the cruiser Boston, lately returned to the
United States and now out Of commission
at Mare Island, shows that another $500,
600 will have to be spent upon that ves-
sel in order to put her in condition for
recommission. Reports received at the
department regarding the condition of the
cruiser Olympia show that she will have
to be laid up for some time and naval
experts estimate that before she Is again
In service she will have cost the Govern
ment not less than S500,O00 to repair.
There are three vessels still on the Ash
attic station which were under Admiral
Dewey's command when he fought the
battle of Manila bay, the Baltimore and

BRUTALITY.
Negro Womans Treatment of two
White Girls.
Special to Greenvllle News.

Columbia, S. G., May 90
The governor has been asked to
offer a reward for the arrest of
Rose Burnett, a negro woman
of Summerville, charged with
cruelty to children.
The case is a revolving one. A
white man named Bunch, at the
death of his wife, lived with the
negro woman and gave her abso-
lutte control of his two little girls.
The negro inhumanely beat them
worse than slaves. The last beat
ingtame near costing their lives.
They ran away and reported to a
magistrate. He was dllatory and
the woman escaped. Bunch was
arrested and is now in the Dor
chester Jail. Governor ElIerbe
will probably offer a big reward,
and the sheriff has been instructed
to use every endeavor to capture
the woman. The population of
that section are said to be intense
ly indignant, but they have done
nothing.

Judge Townsend's Remarkable
Dispensary Decision.

A Greenville special to the
News and Courier says that Judge
Townsend has rendered decision
in the appeal case from Magistrate
Hodges court which is another
triumph for the dispensary law.
Two negroes borrowed two mules
and wagon from H. T. Stroud,
and were caught at night with a
few gallons of whiskey in the
wagon. The constables making
the arrest seized the wagon and
mules, and the negroes were tried
in Magistrate Hodges court and
acquitted. Constable Lafar who
made the arrest, held the mules
and wagon as confscated property
after the acquittal of the negroes.
MIR. Stroud brought action to re-
cover his mules and wagon, and
won his case. Lafar appealed to
the higher court, and Judge
Townsend in his decree reverses
the magistrates decision and
gives the mules and wagon to the
State as confscated under the
dispensary law.
