London. Patriotic Orgies.

IOndOn's Patriotic Orgies.
London, Oct. 3O.-The celebration
yesterday in honor of the Imperial
City troops eclipsed anything of the
kind in the history of London. When
night fell the streets Of London would
have done credit to the commune. 1t
was n scene of unchecked saturnalia
that met the eye. Fighting and swear
ing throngs fought vainly among them
selves for the right Of way. Half an
hour was needed to make a hundred
yards progress along the Strand, and
the feat could only be accomplished at
the risk of life or limb. The few iso-
lated policemen We're borne helpless

whose invnriable characteristic was
drunkenness. partial or complete
Women We're insulted. kissed or
thrown down with impunity in street
fights. Pursued at the sweet will OF
inebriate brawlers from the sidewalks,
they streamed along historic thorough
fares, shouting, sobblng, brandishing
peacock feathers with insane deprav-
ity. Many of them offered NO excep-
ton to the rule Of drunkenness. Bd'bes
in arms could frequently be seen.
Countless different uniforms Of soldiers
Of the empire. regular. volunteers and
colonials. added vivid color to an ex-
traOrdinary spectacle, the like Of which
was never witnessed In any American
city.
Four persons were killed and more
than thousand persons were treated
by the ambulance corps, although In
most cases the injuries were not seri-
ous. There were. however, many cases
where the injuries were serieus, and II
ls not unlikely that there will be other
deaths.

Senator Hanna made another visit 10
the Offices Of J. P. Morgan e. Co., in

was attended by all OF the presidents OF

is III.
Mr.. Morgan is wording nand in glove

Senators Platt and Depew. OF this state,

were consulted. The session lasted
more than two hours.
Senator Hanna was very reticent
when asked about what was being done
to settle the strike and professed to
know nothing about 1t.
It Is reported. however, that Senator
Hanna Is not only doing all in his power
TO end the strike, but that he almost
succeeded in averting 1t before It was
ordered. His efforts would probably
have been successful. but for the inter.
ference OF self-constituted committee
that upset his plans.
