made a breach and entered the city in
1880
At a subsequent sitting of the con-
gress Professor Haeckel of Jena uni
versity proposed a message to Premier
Combes of France congratulating him
on his struggle for the right of human
thought against theocratic oppression
and also for what he has accomplished
for the separation of church and state.
In the OsserVatore Romano, the or

JEWS ENGAGE IN RIOT
Day of AtOnemeRt in London
Marked by Hand-to-
Hand Fight.

London, Sept. 20.-The day of atone
ment was marked in London by serious
rioting in the Jewish quarter of the
east end. over 1000 Jews engaged in
a disturbance and nearly 300 police had
to be called out before the disorder
was quelled. The trouble arose over
the action of the non-conforming mem
bers of a social democratic Jewish
club at Spitalfields. situated in the
heart of Il district containing about
20 900 Jewish Inhabitants. The social
lists openly paraded. i'm disregard of
the fasting injunction, and made a
celebration with wines at the club
house. The orthodox Jews were an
gered and surrounded the club house
and stoned it. The socialists threw
bottles at the crowd and soon the two
or three narrow streets i'm the Vicinity
became chOked by d fighting mob. Am
balances were called out and the doc
tors had many minor cases to attend
to- Finally the police quelled the dis
turbance, cordoned off the streets in
the disturbed area and made several
arrests. Excited groups of orthodox
Jews. however, continued to parade the
streets and the houses OF several so
cialist Jews were stoned.

The sensational announcement that

speaker compared the conditions eX-

when the Republicans We're in power;
and also to the first administration Of
President Cleveland. During this lat
ter time, he said. the country was 30
prosperous and the finances of the na-
ton were so carefully. economically
and wisely administered, that a large
surplus was accumulated. This large
surplus was handed over TO the sue
ceeding administration. The reckless
and wanton extravaganza Of congress
then brought the treasury TO a verse
of bankruptcy. so that when Mr..
Cleveland was recalled to Office il was
