A NIGHT OF REVELRY
PEOPLE WEARING GROTESQUE cos
TUNES IN THE STREETS.
Considerable Noise, but Not Much De-
structfOn of PrOperty-One
Man Hurt.

Ragmen should have good picking to-day
Last night was one of revelry, and, with
the exception of congested streets, resem-
bled much the last night of the carnival.
The fun was not much participated in by
old people, who were content to watch the
younger ones in the enjoyment of their
foolishness. Masks of all sorts were seen
upon the downtown streets, and many of
the costumes showed considerable ingenuity
in the matter of grotesqueness. Greetings
on the street during the early hours, even
among those not masked, were not of a
very formal nature, it seemingly being ac-
cepted as a matter of course that every
body was possessed of at least a little of
the Halloween spirit. Discarded garments
of women seemed to be the prevailing garb
for young people of both sexes. This was,
perhaps. account of the convenience
with which they might be taken off and
thrown into alleys, and there were many
garments, ragged and dirty, left in such
places by those who had become tired of
their wear.
A number of balls where masks were
permitted (even more desirable than noD.
furnished amusement for many until early
morning hours. House parties by the hun
dred were carried on by. young people with
such enjoyment that older ones became
enthused and entered into the fun with the
same spirit. One of the fayorite amuse-
ments INDUCED I'm was the hay ride -
Wagons of all sorts were rugged up to
accommodate all who could get aboard
without danger OF a breakdown and
hauled through the streets that others
might see how much pleasure was to be
had from an evenings outing with horns
copper boilers, tin cans. and In fact any
thing with which hideous and ear-split-
ting noises could be made, to reinforce the
threats of the jewellers. which soon became
sore from incessant yelling. Withal the
pleasure seekers We're good-natured and

calls for the police.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-If the Daily Tele-
graphs announcement had been mere
feeler to ascertain the temper of the public
toward Lord Transformers appointment, he
would certainly never have become minis
ter of foreign affairs; but, although the
appointment to the secretaryship has not
yet been officially confirmed. it is accepted
on all sides as a settled thing.
The Standard which says ii has learned
that Lord Selborne, under secretary of
state for the colonies. and Mr. William st.
Brodrick, under secretary of state for
foreign affairs, will enter the Cabinet, and
that Charles Thomson Richie, president
of the Board of Trade, will be given a
higher post, says: 1.-THE appointment of the
Marquis of Lansdowne to be her Majesty S
principal secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs, is an almost inconceivable blunder.
He has neither the character, qualifications
nor experience for such a position. The
only plausible excuse for the appointment
is that Lord Salisbury will still control
the Foreign Office, while Lord Lansdowne
relieves him of his routine dtuies."
