Cause Lively Scene At Meet
ing In a London Hall.
Those Recently Released From
Prison Wear Prison Garb.

London Dec. 6-ro the screams, hISSeS
and personal attacks which hitbel to have
been their weapons. the suffragettes Sat
!,r,lav ADDED whips, which they usei to
resist expulsion from a meeting which
was to be addressed by David Lloyd
George, chancellor OF the eNchequer
Mr Llovd-George arose to speak at Al
bert hall at meeting of the Wonan's
Liberal Association. when Kisses and cat
calls of great volume interrupted him.
I'VE want deeds, not Words women
shouted il. all parts of the hall
Three hundred and fifty stewards who
had been engaged for just such an emer-
gency started toward the scenes of the
disorder, with the idea Of eiecting the
disturbers.
They found them chained TO their seats.
There then began a confused struggle
between the men and the women. but IL
nally the chains were cut and the sur
fragettes were expelled. But the NUM-
bers of the disorderly seemed to increase
rather than diminish. Some of the Wo-
men were armed with whips ana they
repelled vigorously every attempt to eject
them.
There were struggles every few MIN
utes in different parts of the hail. ana ev-
ery time Mr.. Lloyd-George made ar at
tempt &c sreak his voice was drowned
in mingled groans and cheers. Finally
the chancellor, who for a qtartri of an
hour had been trying to get in q word,
sat down. and the organist tried to soothe
the hysterical sisterhood by playing
What Can the Matter Be?' But it was
no nse and pandemoni,m reiSnea.
The uproar WIS at its height when a
dozen SutfraSettes who were recently re-
| leased from prison divested themselves
| of their outer wraps and appeared in
| their Jail garb. These clothes were liber-
| ally stamped with broad arrows. This
exhibition acted on the sisterhocd like a
| red rag to a bull. Megaphones and bells
were brought into use and the noise ce-
came deafenng. The stewards at length
| lost their tempers, and as they continued
| their work of throwing out the demon
strants the clothes of many Of the wo-
mon were torn off their backs.
At the end of half an hour or more the
opposition wore itself out and Nh. Lloyd
George was able to continue his speech
| with only occasional Interruptions. He
| assured his audience, which totalled fully
| 5000 persons. mainly the peaceful suf!rag-
| lists, that there was 1t majority IN the
cabinet and in the Liberal party in favor
| of woman suffrage, and that suffrage
clause would be included in the govern
ments franchise bill, which, However
could not be introduced until the eve OF
the dissolution of Parliament: The chan
ccllor added that the time of dissolution
| had not yet arrived, though the end OF
| this Parliament was not so distant as
some people thought. The Liberals, how
ever. still had several accounts 10 settle
| and they would demonstrate to the House
| of Lords that the House of Commons was

Port Au Prince, Dec. 6.-Quiet pre-
Vailed here today. although there We're
.'eportS of threatening trouble in other
owns in Hayti. General Antoine ST.
non. comrlander-in- chief of the revo-
'utionists, who yesterday entered Port
Au Prince at the head of an army of
bout 5000 men, issued a proclamation
'oday to the people and the army, in
which he assumed the title of Chief
Executive, and declaring that he would
organize provisional government
pending the assembling Of the Par

At o'clock this morning the Cuban
steamer Oteri arrived here from King

hat the others must remain on the
steamer until tomorrow.

Oteri's passengers came ashore and
were greeted by the firing of musket-

Advices received here indicate that
the situation at Gonaives and st.
Mare is grave. the movement in favor
of Gen. Antenor Firmin having been
greatly strengthened at these places.
Cen. Firmn is now on his way to
Kingston and will proceed frcm that

governor of Gonaives, is hated because
of tire large number of summary exc
