Leaders Fought the Police Without Provocation and Lost the Sympathy of the Crowd Which Had Pre- viously Cheered.

London, June 29.-The thirteenth vain attempt of the militant suffra- gettes to obtain access to Premier As quith resulted in exciting scenes in Parliament Square tonight and the ar rest of over 100 women. The plan of campaign followed the lines previously employed by the suffrag agettes. The woman's parliament assembled in Cax- ton hall and sent a delegation. headed by Mrs. Pankhurst, to see the prime minister, who previously had decided not to receive them.
 Enormous crowds assembled in the vicinity of the parliament hours before the time set for the raid upon the house, around which several thousand police had taken strategic positions. The first noteworthy incident was the arrest, after a great deal of trouble, of a buxom eauestian suffragette@who tried to penetrate the police cordon to take a message to the prime minister.
 Next appeared the deputation under the command of Mrs Pankhurst, who was received by the crowd with wild cheers. Escorted by the police, the deputation arrived at the St. Stephens entrance to parliament. where it was met by Chief Inspector Scantlebury, who, handed Mrs Pankhurst a letter from the premier. regretting the lat ter,s inability to receive the deputation. Angrily throwing the letter on the ground. Mrs. Pankhurst exciaimed:
 q stand on my rights as the kings subject to enter the house of com mons"
 Then she tried to force an entrance. The police tried to induce the women to disperse quietly and began to lead them away. To the surprise of the spectators, who were amassed around the entrance, Mrs. Pankhurst slapped Inspector Jarvis in the face, knocking his cap in the mud. There were cries of Shame" and several spectators told the suffragette leader she had no prov ocation to do such a thing.
 A moment later another member of the deputation. Mrs Saul Solomon. knocked off the inspectors cap a sec ond time. while the others made a determined attempt to rush the cordon of police Eventually the entire depu- tation was placed under arrest,
 By this time second deputatlon had left Caxton hall, accompanied by hun dreds of suffragettes and others, and tried to reach the house by the under ground passage, leading from West minister bridge. This, too, was unsuc cessful, but for two hours the whole district was in an uproar. the police dispersing crowds and arresting the women by the wholesale. The windows of many government buildings were smashed with stones wrapped in paper.
 Altogether, 112 women were arrested, including Mrs. Pankhurst,- Mrs. Solo, mon, the Hon. Mrs. Haverfield, daugh ter of Lord Abinger; Miss Margesson, daughter of Lady Margesson; Miss Maud Joachim, niece of the violinist, and many other prominent women.

Miss Meatrice Forbes Robertson, Miss Eliz- abeth Robbins, Miss Beatrice Harra- den, besides all the well known suf- fragette leaders.
 Great excitement was caused among the crowd by the movements of the equestrian suffragette, Miss Vera Howe, who rode back and forth. carry ing messages between the different deputations and who ultimately was arrested Throughout the demOnstra- tions the police behaved with the ut most forbearance but suffragettes in many cases, forced them to some rough handling The crowds indulged in considerable horse play but gener- ally no active sympathy was extended to the suffragettes.
