above ths din and waved flags inscribed

Meanwhile the stewards reached the dis
turbers, but they no soone laid hands
on Miss Ellington then she drew a short
whip from beneath her cloak and lashed
wildly at the mems heads and shoulders,
Three Of them, however, seized her and
fighting like a tiger, she was bundled down
the steps screaming.
Her companions remained shouting. More
men fastened to oust them and with the
help Of other who are not "suf-
frugettes" they were hoisted Upon the
shoulders Of the men and bundled out,
struggling and sbrieking.
As soon as they we're gone a party Of
Socialists in the body OF the hall started
an uproar on behalf Of the elected women.

uproar and struggle lasted for half an
hour.

but he had hardly started when Mrs. Pank-
hurst, another "suffragette," came to the
front Of the women's gallery and started
making demands. The audience was less
tolerant Of her than Of her predecessors
and her utterances were drowned in shouts
Of Throw her out" The stewards ulti-
mately carried her out like the others.
Mr.. Asquith then delivered his speech,
but meanwhile Miss Ellington had stirred
up q crowd Of Socialists in the street to
back her in attacking Mr.. Asquith as 10 left
the hall. The ne WIS Of the disturbance had
spread and soon the market square, which
was the scene of the historic Bradlaugh
riots. had filed with a mob Of bowling
roughs, eager for a shindy.
Extra police were hastily brought in
from the suburbs. Their arrival and an
opportune rainstorm thinned the crowd.
A number Of them, however, got intothe hall,
causing fear of a serious riot. BY the time
Mr.. Asquith had finished the police were
strong enough 10 hold the mob, but Miss
Ellington and her supporters desperately.
but vainly, tried to assault The Minister as
he passed through a double line Of police
men to his automobile, in which he whizzed
away amid q roar Of cheers and groans.
