About four thousand poisons , most of them
neighbors of Spies , weio congiegated on the
steps and sidewalks of the blocks In which
Spies lived when the time for du-

\s this band passed Zepp's hall , which was
open and filled with drinking men , It struck
ip a dirge , as did in fact every other band In

Following the Ihst coips of musicians

was hoped to s ivu the anarchists from their

Then another band wheeled into Lake

sons. At the clubs nnd in taverns and fa.in

lot , and how the military were called out
.o suppiess a street low for the first thno

mil been foieshadowcd last week. The

was shown to Warren that Trafalgar square
was crow u pi opei ty uud not dedicated to

employment when scoies of
other places wore capable of

L\\enty-two ladical clubs met at viulous paits
of the mctiopolitan district , especially at the

let the leader Imagine 20,000
men matching or hi drags being

to the tiipjiuo ; also fancy 4,000 policemen
posted in coidons about it and gum ding the

every one In the procession Is provided with

wlnlu the police are alining to prevent such
formation or obstruction of the Immense

fancy n collision , sMibborn lights wltto
rushes of mounted police riding down ;

sides of the Maiarc. Sir James Inghan
senior magistrate , at mcd w Ith a printed papc

act , was tiding in ihlllim dress between tw

with truncheons undraw , n were mnrshnllc
against the four sides of the vacant square.
The four thoroughfares In sight were black
vlth surging mattes of people , esti
mated by u veteran police
ofllcial to number -100,000 out of
London's 4,000,000 Inhabitants. The bulk of
ho people were meie sight seers nnd rcpio-
sented all classes of society. Nothing was
nore remarkable than the fact that whenever
itllo groups of IKMSOHS weio gathered to
gether for a moment or two the conveisatlon
hewed that the majoilty of the speakers
weio In accord with the action of the uuthorl-
, lcs mid wcro unanimous In declining
: hat the meeting In Tinfulgar squaio ought
to bo prohibited altogether. These sent- !
nents were , of comsc , not sinned by the
loughs , who were picse-nt in Rte.it foicc , but
Acronotsonumcious as those who weio de
sirous of obeying the law ; though , by the
Any , those latter would have given be't-
ter evidences of the pcaceablpiipts
of their disposition by stailng away
iltogether. Thu feeling on thu pint of the
bonafldo dcmonstiatlonlsts against all the
lollcowas veiy bitter , and had they oppor
tunities of acting In conceit the hlstoiy
of this meeting might ha\o been vciy differ

lanungulng- ciowd of bi other loughs , that
they could make short vvoikof thoto bluu-

lenicrs muttered assent and cuiscs
on the police. So admlinblo
Acre the arrangements that while the people

walks far and near thcto was space left for
all vehicle tiaftlc , which was Inteituptcd and
somevv hat dclaj ed but not stopped. The eon-
stabnlarj , how ever , concentrated all their en-
ei gies to keeping the people mov ing. In this
they were fairly successful though all their
elfoits weio doggedly resisted by a
considerable section of the mob
which hooted nnd hissed whenever n little
charge was made * The fiist uncstwas ef
fected at 3 o'clock opposite the Chan ing Ct oss
postofllco , and the offender , a rough looking
man mai died by a couple of policemengmn ded
byado eu mounted constables , to the How

mob.Fiom
Fiom this hour until nightfall conflicts
weio constant and the number of injuied will
bo found in the morning linger , If ever the
total Is reckoned up. Shoitly after t o'clock
great crowds came hooting and cheering
down St. Mai tin's Lane and , notwithstand
ing the enormous mass of people ahcady
thuio found their way thiough ami
made n dcspeiatu attempt to
enter the squaio. The pohco keeping
splendid line used their batons freely and
dispcised the assailants in all dncctions
Some of the mob had piovided largo pieces
of wood , h iving demolished fencing , and
with these indicted ugly wounds on the po
licemen nnd the melee threatened to assume
seiiouspioportions. The mounted men now
did good sea vice scattering the ciowd , but
not without resistance. The mob stiuck
their hoisos with sticks , kicked the animals
on the legs and endeavored to pull the riders
off their seats. In one instance they were
successful und the unfortunate ofllcur was
literally in danger of his life for a moment ,
but his comrades promptly came to his as
sistance and ho escaped with a severe
beating. All this tlmo the crush
on the steps of St. Martin's
church along the roadway , In front of where
Duncannon street opens out onto the square ,
was fearful and the screams of women and
chltdien were hcind above the hearse shout
ing of thu combatants.
While these events weio proceeding a still
moro serious conflict was going on in the
Hnimaiket. A piocession with a band and
banners entered the Hnymarket. The inspector
specter , In chuigo of a largo force , bade
the crowd dispense. Some resisted
the police , who immediately proceeded
toditpciso the mob At fit st the latter had
thu best of it but the police i allied and
loutcd them. Banners weio tour , dtums
smashed and the pla.vers on biass scattered.
The police were foiccd to use their tiuneh-
eons. A few minutes after the row w as
over , several men with bleeding hands were
being lead by fi lends to a place of safety.
The fight was watched at the bottom of the
Hajmarket and when victory was nssuroand
the mob came running down the hill , them
was nnugly rush into Cockspur stieet and
Pall Mall east , which gave the police another
bad quarter of an hour.
Chining Cross hospital Is very near the
square. It is not too much to say that the
wounded who were brought there for treat
ment constituted almost a procession by
themselves. Many of them were conveyed
In cubs , others walked , with the assistance of
friends , and , as they arrived , the mob
cheered sympathetically. Ono or two police
men were among the injuied , and , as they
wcro assisted fiom the cabs ,
yells of tilumph moso fiom the
roughs , answeied by cheers from
the better disposed. Heio weio gathered
many men whohadbcpniii the conflicts in the
Havnmiket mid Wateiloo phco , nnd who , af
ter they had left their woundeit fnonds at
the hospital , gave highly eoloicd accounts ol
the conduct of the police to the bjstaudPis ,
The small number of injuicd pollco driven
up , as compaied with the number of civil
ians who attended for ticatment , was com
mented upon , the crowd foigctting th.it n
a good many of the former were taken tc
neighboring pollco stations nnd their wound'
dicssed there by divisional suigcons
Hy far the gt cater number of those
who applied for suigical assistances woic
found to bo suffering from scalp wounds , In
flicted by the constables' batons , but In no
instance was thcie any injury of u iciillj
seilous nature and all applicants , with one
exception , left the hospital aftur having had
their wants attended. This exception was
thu man suffering fiom u punctuied wound
in the right buttock , which ho stated ho had
received fiom a bayonet thrust by ono ol
the guards and this statement was
declared by the attending surgeon to bo
a ci editable ono fiom the appearance
of the wound nnd a hole In the man's cloth
Ing. Altogether some seventy-six cases were
attended to at Westminster hospital1
twt nty-eight eases of scalp nnd other wounds
vtt.no brought in ; at St. Thomas hospital
twenty persons were admitted BUlTciiiig
from scalp wounds , four of them policemen ,
Mr. M. Kellas , chief divisional surgeon ol
pollco , stated that a jwliceman was stabbct1
in the back with a swotd stick bi
ono of the mob. Another police
man was blabbed. At Kings College
hospital PX ! poisons wcro admitted. The
twenty-three persons ai rested wcto taken to
the How street pollco station , among thpm
being Cunningham Graham , M. P , and Mr
John Burns , the socialist. The thuiges wen
mostly for assaults on the police. At King
