( New York Herald Cable-Special to tlio Bin | Both the police nnd the socialists bad a tilnmph to-day. The toolallsts had their meeting In Trafalgar Square despite thu largest force of police ever concentrated there to prevent a meet ing. The police , on the other hand , have prevented the repetition of last February's rioting , notwithstanding the presence at the west end of thousands of roughs , eager for plunder. London is lather ashamed of the patilewlilcli produced sucli ngeneial stoppage of business , losing to commerce perhaps 103,000 , and the boarding up of windows , etc. , yet is Inclined to lie glad that tills panic has shown the socialists the prompt ness with which socialism can bu met. 1 drove this morning from Hyilo 1'ark cornei to Trafalgar Square , hence over the route of the lord mayor's procession Into thu city. Along the streets which the socialists ex- peeled to take In marching from Trafalgar Square meeting to lljdo Park , 1 found hun dreds of shop fronts coveied with boards. Other shops nnd hotels had their shutters down and similar safe-guards against looting. At Trafalgar Square Hardly n shon or hotel front remained unguarded by cither boards or shutteis. Thence Into the city , through the Strand Cheapsldc. Cornhlll , Blsbopssate and Queen Victoria streets , It was everywhere easy to pick out Hie i on tcs selected for the proces sion. Throughout the business portion of the city 1 noticed the ciowds were less dense nnd less uniuly than In piovlousycais. The socialist demonstration had apparently called the rougher and more dangerous ele ments away from the city to the west end. Old policemen told mo that for twenty-two years they hail never seen so quiet and well disposed a ciowd In the city on loid mayoi's day. HiOlNMNO : THU CJUAltl ) . At noon detachments of ca\aliy and mounted police began patiolllng the streets along whicll the show was to pass. By their aid thopiocesslon icaclicd Trafalgar Square without Incident At the square an Immense crowd of the roughest element had gathered ready for liotlng nt the least opportunity. By the coiiceutiatlon of the troops and police nt this point the nuthoiitlcs showed that they expected a row. The Strand and Northumberland avenue wore thickly lined on both sides with police nnd mounted patrol who forced the crowd in front of the Nelson column to scatter. In the national gallery several companies of Infantry were stationed and the terra In liout of the national gallery facing the Nelson column was occupied by n long double line of police. Later In the day n company of thu Life Guards was broaghtup from tlio two roclmeuts of cavalry held In re- BCIVO near at hand to clear the square. AN UQl.y SI'IKIT was Biiovved Be\eial times as the mounted po. lice attempted to push the crowd back out of the way of the procession. A baker's cart wasovoithrown but no one was hurt. A po liceman was pummcled about the face , but the promut mi eat of hla assailant stopped the dlstmbancc. Land seers nt the base of the Nelson column were thickly covered with men and boys , and the six story hotels facing Iho square had nil their windows and roofs covered with wntcheis. Some American , who RirUed nt a hotel on thu squat o just before the pioccpslon passed , thought a icvolutlon was Inpiogrcss , and the ladles , much scared , refused to stop at their intended hotel and diovo off to another quieter one. A Sll.KNT CltOWl ) . In general the crowd leinalncd absolutely silent as the cavalry and various city guilds passed , and several ofllclals coming next In caiilngcs were hooted. A model naval steam launch , with a crew aboard a life boat , nnd two elephants were the only uarts of the procession that were chewed. Last of all came the loid mayor In tils guitdcd state coach , looking like a knave of clubs on cards , lie passed amidst storms of hisses nud "boos , " but got some cheers as he turned toward the embankment. As the last coach tinned into Northumbeihxnd iivemio A DO/UN Ill'.l ) KI.AOS were Instantly produced by socialists on or near Nelson's column. At once the crowd niHlied into the space at Nelson's back , nn- other line ten deei > tilled the tenaces over looking this space , nnd socialist speakers weto jerked up on the ba u ot n column , throw elf their coats and began to address the crowds. For Hie moment there was in tense excitement ns the police Incso- lutely piepaicd to clear the square. Then tame nn order to allow oideily speaking. At this backdown from thu police proclamation issued the same mornIng - Ing , the socialists cheered wildly.

The four oftkors above named were lodircd In a small prison at Comayagua when the news of their sentence reached them. Gen eral Delgado's wife was there to plead witli a wife's tears and n woman's devotion for her husband's life. It was the desire ot Picsldent Cog : an to some General Delgado's life if possible , and any pretext would have been icadlly soUed upon to give un opportunity of saving him and at the same time vindicate the tilbunal which had condemned him. The president sent n message to him to say that If he would promise never ngaln to take up arms against Honduias ho should icceivo n paulon. The soldier was too biRvc to accept even Ids life on these tci ms , and ho sent back word that ho would see Honduras in an even moio tioplcal climate - mate than that she now enjoyed before ho would accept his paulon on such a pledge.

[ Special Telegram o the Bin.J : Nebraska republicans should bo n their guard A diabolical schema IS on 'oot In this city to defeat the election of Son- tor Van Wyek. Oflicers In the KM. street .illwar , ical estate syndicate and various lorporations are cliculatlng reports' through ho press that Senator Van Wyek , If re- Iccted , will vote with the democrats and Isa iiipportorof the recent administration. In- sinueli as neatly o\nry ono of the monopo- Istsarcde inocrats , U can be readily seen that li'ilr pnruoso forebodes no good totheropubli- an party , but Is to got a man In Senator Van iVyck's seat that they can handle. He has .vaged . a iclunttess war on the gas , street 'allway nnd other monopolies , ami It Is well ! < nown that they run willing to use nny amount of money to defeat his return by the Nebraska legislature. The democrats and nonopollsts of the state arc working In con- unction with thoiO of this city , and the itatements tolczinphed from hero to the country to the effect that Van Wyek will co operate with the democrats are sent out by { ho democrats and have a corrupt purpose bo ilnd them. These statements , the Br.i : coi re spondent Is icllably Informed , arc paid for Ike so much ndvciUsing nnd the money comes from the cotfcrs of the monopolistic organUatlons of this city. To-day's Baltimore-American has this 'iom itscoriespondenton thesubject : ' 'Oneof ho most ludicrous things In the vain attempt .0 throw thu senate Into democratic hands is ho talk about Senator Van Wyek acting ivlth the democrats. If anything can mnku Van Wyek mad It is to say ho Is conniving with or aiding democrats. Once when a friend called on htm and nskcd him about ho rumor that ho was siding with the iccent administration , he said : 'I would rather bo burled by nn avalanche ol detent than vote with the democrats or uphold n democratic administration. lama republican nnd nm true to republican principles. ' These who know him well say that there need bo no 'ear as to how Senator Van Wyek will vote. When tlio question of politics comes up ho Is always with the republicans. Senator Mitchell , of Oregon , Is also tiotted forth in desperation as n doubtful senator , but Sena tor Mitchell Is and has.alvvays been a true re- publcan. " mi : cAtisns OF SOMK DEFKATS. "The defeat of Church Howe.the republican candidate for conmess in thu Omaha dis trict , was no evidence at all of republican weakness or dissatisfaction , " said a Nebras ka democrat to-day. "It was the unpopularity of the candidate , " ho continued , "and did not materially allcct the state ticket. Howe Is odious in local politics , and was fought most bittcilyby tlio most prominent repub licans. What n newspaper can do In a cam paign was very well demonstrated In that campaign , too. The Omaha Bin : , the lead ing lepubllcan paper of that section , fought Howe fiom the ground up. It denounced him for all there was bad In politics nnd ap pealed to the republicans to overthrow him ut the polls , holding that he was not fairly nominated and in no sense nrepicsentattve of the party. The campaign against llowo through the Br.K was laigely conducted over Mr. Kosovvatcr's name , thus showing the pub lic that he was willing to assume personally the responsibility as well as proprlctarlly. " "What was true of the campaign in the Omaha dLstiict was equally true In some otherldistrlcts in the west , " continued the Ne- braskan. "In Dakota the republican major ity was expected tobo2,000 or : ! 0,000. The democrats put up a man , M. H. Day , who Is personally very popular. He has stood out fora division of tlia teirltory and admission of the southern half to statehood when it seemed political suicide foi him to do so. It has always been popular with the republicans but ns unpopular with the democrats. Well , Day was more outspoken on this subject than Glltord. the piesent delegate , and many thousand republicans voted tor him. It dem onstrated two things : that division of the territory nnd statehood nre intensely popular In the territory itself , and that the west Is for positive cliaiacter. Ion see the territory of Dakota came very near in its determina tion to lecogni/.u democratic woik for their movement ovei turning 30,000 republican ma jority. A more determined vote for division and statehood could not have been made. "The overthrow of Lowry in the Fort Wayne , Ind. , district was the work against individuality on the part of the incumbent and for Individuality In the republican can didate. In Missouri a case similar can bo cited. It ail tends to caution the partisans nialnsl depending too much on paity fealty. Thu time has coma when personal character must bo considered In making nominations , no matter how largo the majoiitles aio nat urally. " Br.Aixn's HEi.iaious TAITU. "While I doubt very much whether Mr. Blalno could bu nominated If hn asked for the race in 1SSS , I believe iliat the Catholic In- Jliience is going to bo wielded more potently for him than It was before the last presiden tial election , " said an Indiana lopubllcnn to- day.whohas oflensatnscounselloraioundtlio cabinet table. "Them Is a feeling among the members of the Catholic church , taking them as a body. " he continued , "that Mr. .Blalno will yet come out nnd advocate Ids religious faith In the chinch ho was Iln-l taught In. A few years ago 1 was at Minneapolis , ( in ray way note Irom the northwest , and n fiiend asked mo to call upon Blshon h el nnd , ot the Catholic chinch.

A unvi'itnidAN' STATK. "Virginia Is a rcpublicah state now , made o by the position of the democratic natty on ho tariff question , arid there will bo a re- nibllcan elecled when the tlmd comes to ihoose n man to succeed Senator Klddlebcr- ? er"Is the announcement sent hereby Sen- ntor Maltono. The senator contends that the ) ld Dominion wont republican on the 2d list nnd that the majoiity has tome to stay. AN issi 1'itr.ntcTioN rou SOUTH CAHOMNA , It is n noticeable fact thalnll of tlio leading ralhoads In Virginia , asvcll ns North Caio- inn , are now In the control of northern re publican' ! , and they are tniitT protectionists. Their influence will , of course , bo wielded for apiotectlve tailtland In opposition to the bourbon democracy. Tn6 leading Industries of those states nre operated by either north- cm capital or by southGin men who have ately become protectionists , nnd therclore. hey will work tor men for ofllco who will irotcct their business Interests. The a ser- Ion Is made without reui ration hat North Carolina will give her lecloial votes In IS * > for the icpiiblican can- lltl.ito tor the piesldency , while these of Viiginla aio pledged that way. By u default campaign the republicans } last week elected he principal state ofllcerd in North Carolina. Months ago the leaders of the party there net and concluded that It was no use to laminate men for state ofllces , a , under the Infamous election l.\vvw. the democrats would name the oillccrs. . Latcr some of the republicans conceived the idea of putting candidates In the lleld. No special care was exercised In making the selections anil there was reiy little canvassing. But thu vote was surprisingly large for them , and they ia\n tliii legislature , judge of the supreme court and some other otllccs. t Now It Is proposed to make new election laws , giving every man n right to vote as ho pleases , nnd then the state will bo republican. The gov ernor is a dcmociat , but he has not the veto power , so that whatever laws nre enacted will stand nnd whatever bills are passed by the legislature will become laws. North Carolina has n system of conducting Iho elections which places them wholly in tlio charge of the stain nnd county olllcers and boards of supervisors chosen by them , which Insiucs tlio state to the demociaey whenever the state ollteers are democratic. This time they were "slipped up on" and did not realize that they wore defeated till too late. The people there 'propose to profit by the surprise they gave to the watch dogs found sleeping , and will give all men an equal showing at tlio polls. Tin ) black voters nre the same ns disfranchised In many coun ties In that state. m.Ai.vi : sAin TO FAVOR AI.U.SON. It has been said by a do/en men tresh from Mr. BInine during the past week that the illumed knight will throw his intluenco to Senator Allison , of Iowa , lor the presidential nomination In 1SS3 ; that be believes Allison to bu the strongest man in the party , and that he Is his personal preference. Coming from so many sources and.so nearly directly from Mr. Blaine himself , there is very little doubt that ho has this uudor consideration. It is known that Mr. Blaine ha ; talked to a number of his most coiilulenUal friends about thu coming national , campaign dining the past week , and that he Is ongaiced seeing what bis own stiongth would be It ho should again bothe nominee , ahd nnny think ho would rather be tlio premier of Allison's cab inet than to take the risks ho assumed two and n half ycaisnao. f ONLY GOOD HESiocnvrs WANTED.

Tlio Hrst excitement of the day at the stock yaids Occurred at I o'clock this afternoon.

A cold , irl/zling rain fell all day. and these who had jeen assigned to early morning picket duty felt It most keenly.

Those who were young clerks down town did not regard it ns nn igrooablo occupation this soldieilns : . Mr , Dnrrv came Into the city to-day and called on Mr. Bostford of the packers' com mittee. Ho asked whether It was true that resolutions had "been passed Insisting thattlic striking Knt hts of Labor should renounce ; helr older as a condition nicrcdent to being re-employed. Botsfoul replied that such was the case. Harry said veiy little else and left , The majority of the strikers scorn to rejoice over the resolution against the Knights of Labor that have been adopted by the pack ers. Barry has a dispatch from Powdcily in which the central master workmhn repudi ates all Interviews on the strlko and olfers to send assistance to the representative of the executive board hero If he needs it.
