Beaven said he was\nafraid the government had done an\nillegal act; that they had not only\nsoltl part of a reserve, but had sold\nland in small lots or blocks. He\nhad been informed also that the\nlands liad not been surveyed as sold,\nwhich only complicated matters. If\nit Imd been survoyed into lots or\nblocks then tiie government had\ndono again what was not required\nand what they liad no power to do.\nThe returns he asked for, if given,\nwould furnish the liouso with all\nnecessary particulars. He had boen\ninformed that somo of the land Imd\nbeen sold at \u00C2\u00A715 an acre, a very\ndifferent figure to tho provincial\nsecretary's valuation of $f>00 an\nacre.\nMr, Orr had always understood\nthat the land sold formed part of a\nnaval reserve, nnd if his district\nwas deprived of this, tlio one naval\nreserve on the mainland, it would\nleave Esquimalt the only naval\nstation of British Oolumbia.\nHon. Mr. Smitho said when the\nleader of the opposition was C. 0.\nof Iv. it W, in 1873 he made a return tliat was very misleading. The\nerror wns that llioro wus a reserve\nof 788 acres for u naval reserve on\nEnglish Buy. Thc admiralty charts\npublished so late as as 1884 did uot\ncontain mention of such a reserve,\ntho only one being a proposed naval\nreserve of 155 acres set apart by\nSir Jumos Douglas. Within tho\nlast few days action had beeu tnkon\nby thn imperial government with\nreference to ii small-portion of the\nlaud wliich the government had left\nintact. The Dominion government\nhad been misled through their agent\nhero as to the area. Tho original\nreserve showed an area of 155 acres,\nnot as a naval reserve but as a proposed naval reserve. In 18S5 Mr.\nTrutch wrote to Mr Walkem, then\nchief commissioner, for information\nas to this reserve, who instructed\ntho surveyor-general Lo enquire into\nthe matter and make his report. In\nthis it was shown that there was ft\ngeneral reserve of 788 acres on\nEnglish Bay; that thoro wero re-\nservos asked for by Admiral Bayucs\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094one for 55 acres on English Bay,\nanothor of 170 acres ou tho mill\nproperty, and similar reserves on\neither side of Port Moody. Tho\nsurveyor-general stated that he had\nattached lo bis report a lithograph\nshowing tho reserves. The two reserves at Port Moody woro marked\non the imip accurately, while tho\nroservo at Coal Harbor was not\nmarkod at all.' Tho reservo at\nEnglish Bay showed a reserve of\n788 acros, all of which the surveyor-\ngeneral (as he afterwards explained)\nnot appreciating the importance, had\nmarked red, not intending to indicate anything except that it whs a\nreserve\u00E2\u0080\u0094not that it was a uavul\nreserve. It was reserved at tho\nsame time tho Hastings mill property had been, .wliich was afterwards\nsold to a private company in 1864.\nThero wns uo evidence to sfiow that\nthc land nt English Bay was ever\nmade a reservo; no order iu counoil to show that it had been made a\nnaval or any other kind of a reserve.\nIn 1862 Mr. Wood, a civil engineer, was sent down to survey a reserve, und that was all the ovideuce\nthat thore evor was a reservo, This\nsurvoy showed tho largo reserve of\n788 acres and inside was shown a\nsmall area marked \"naval rosorvo,\"\nplainly indicating the distinction,\nlie did uot think it hnd over heen\ncontended that tlio Dominion government had any claim to this property undor clause 10 of the B. N. A.\nnot. The clause did not apply to\nany lnnds in British Columbia; tho\ncontention that it wns ordnance\nproperty he did not share. With\nreference to tlm legality of the sale\nwhich had taken place lately, an\nact was specially passed last session\nempowering tho government to raise\nmoney by tho salo of land and its\npurport was explained at the time.\n(Mr. Beavon\u00E2\u0080\u0094No.) Homo of tlio\nlauds had been sold at an average\nof $750 per acre, and somo at tlio\nwater front at tlio rato of \u00C2\u00A71,000\nper aero.\nMr. Allen nsked for copies of nll\ncorrespondence relating to tho abandonment of any portion of the 750,-\n000 acres granted to the Kootenny\nCompany.\nHon. Mr. Bmithfl snid thero\nseemed to be a great misapprehension about Ihu uhnndouimmt of n\nportion of tlio proposed grant. The\nact provides that there should lirst\nbo a reserve placed on tho lands,\nand this reservo was to extend six\nmiles back from tho Columbia river\nnnd Kootenay lake, Ono of the\nstipulations was thu company should\nhavo the land on Kootenay lake\nsurveyed, The time for the com-\nThe British Columbian.\nVOLUME 29\nNEW WESTMINSTER, B. O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1886.\nNUMBER 13\npi et fori of the survey on the Oolumbia river did not expire until 1887,\nalthough he did not think they intended to take the full quantity to\nwhich, by fulfilling the provisions,\nthey would be entitled, because they\nhrd application that they be allowed\ngrants of small areas of land along\nthe Columbia rivor, wliich application he had positively refused.\n[Hear, hear.] He believed they\nhnd found out that tho land was\ncomparatively valueless, and that\nit would not pay them to survoy it.\nOf 250,000 acros which they might\nhave got on the Kootenay lake\nthey had chosen to take 43,000 acres\nonly. They had not got even that\nyet, however, and would not until\nthey had complied with all the provisions of tbe act. [Heir, hear.].\nAt the urgent request of the miners,\njust as soon us tho time limit on the\nKootenay lake had expired he had\nremoved the reserve so that the\nlands not surveyed on the lake were\njust as free to miners us they -were\nbefore the passage of the Kootenay\nbill, [Hear, hear.]\nMr. Orr called attention to the\nfact that the Kootenay Transportation Company had never commenced their thirty miles of railway whioh the act required they\nshould finish within a year after the\ncompletion of -the Canadian Pacific\nrailway.\nMr. Semlin thought it would be\nvery much better for tho government to transfer the whole of the\n750,000 acres to the company and\nreceive the taxes thereon. The\ncompany had entered into the con\ntract with their eyes opon and had\nboen assured that the land was not\nworth $50,000. One thing he regretted: Thut the attorney-general\nhad made such a statement at Clinton that tho time limit for the company to acquire any more land under\nthe act hnd expired.\nHou. Mr. Davie would not havo\nmado any further reference to tho\nstatement attributed to him did it\nnot seem that his previous explanation had been ignored. The time\nlimit ho wns charged with having\nmndo general whon stating it had\nexpired should have heen confined\nto the Kootenay lake region. He\nshould havo thought this explanation would have been satisfactory.\nConsiderable discussion took place\nrespecting Emia, tho Chilcotin outlaw. Mr. McLeese thought that if\nthe reward was offered to the Indians, tho outlaw would bo captured.\nHon. Mr. Davie said the Indian\nagent had been furnished with \u00C2\u00A7000\nwith a vioiv to tho capture of Emia,\nand he thought the agent's experience and judgment might be relied\non. The capture could ho effected\nonly by peaceable measures. It\nwould not be safo for any whito\nman to follow Emia and attempt to\ntako him.\nA discussion arose upon the taxation of unimproved lauds held on\nspeculation, tho genoral opinion of\nthe houso being that when large\nblocks of hind were so held they\nought to be subjocted to heavy\ntaxes.\nMr. Benven again brought ou a\ndebate on financial returns. Ho\nasked for a separate statement of\nthe revonuo of the last half of 1883.\nIt was pointed out that the information asked was contained in the\nstatement for 1883-8-1, and that\nthe return would only involvo expense for nothing. The motion was\nlost on a vote of 8 to 16.\nBills were introduced to incorporate\nthe Coal Harbor OasOo. and to amend\ntho charter of the Now West minder\nand Port Moody Telephone Co,\nMr. Orr again brought up tho mat*\ntor of the naval reserve at English\nBay, nnd expressed thu opinion that\nas it had boen reserved for naval purposes it could not legally he sold.\nHon. Mr. Smithe said tho proposed\nnaval reserve consisted of only 155\nucres, nud nut 788 as stated. Although\nthis 155 ncres had never been handed\nover to tho imperial government, tho\ngovernment hnd no intention to dispose of it, but would keep it for naval\npurposes, He beliovod that the ndmirnl of the station had been instructed quito recently by tho imperial government to locate 100 acres there. The\nimperial authorities hnd never expressed\nany wish respecting the reserve at English Bay, nud hnd abandoned all except tho Port Moody reserve. He\nproduced the admiralty chart of 1884\nupon which there was printed a \"pro*\nposed\" naval roservo at English Hny\nof 165 aeres\u00E2\u0080\u0094not 788 aeres. He believed the imperiul government intended to fix a station for military stores\ninside of Durrard Inlet, where they\nwould be less exposed than at Esquimau.\nSpeaking to a motion mado by Mr.\nSemlin, Hon, Mr. Robson said the\ngovernment intended to establish the\nfollowing now polling places: In New\nWestminster district \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Sapperton,\nMoodyville, Burton's Prairie, Surrey,\nPort Moody, Lehman's Landing, Clover Valley, and Alder Grove.

McKenzie, late superititomlcnt of education.\nSevern! members opposed the motion\nnn the ground thnt a simitar committeo\nhuh appointed and Mr. McKenzie refused to prosecute his claim. The\nclaim dated buck 7 yenrs, aud hnd been\nrejected by two govern in ents. After\ndiscussion the motion was carried.\nMr. Allen moved for a return of the\nschool trustee election nt Clinton,\nOn million of Mr. Drake, a memorial\nwhs ordered to be Bent to the Dominion government inking for tho establishment of a purcel post.\n(Conllmir-il on Thin) Pnirc.)\nD.\nMCLEAN, M.D,\nOflloe and Residence:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Occident Hotel,\nJniJOte Now Westminster, B.

IHtUI.\nMore Trade Development.\nThe arrangements so promptly\nmade by the manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway for u steamship service between Coal Harbor\nand San Francisco is another proof\nof tin* energy and aggressiveness of\nthe nt linage in ent. A lino of steamers botween these points will give\ntlio people of San Francisco an alternative route upon whieb, doubtless, thero will be fount! not a few\nreasons for patronage. But it will\nlikewise open up to the people of\nthe mainland a route through which\nmany articles may be imported ut\nmuch less rates than now prevail.\nTt has always been a grievance to\nmainland merchants that they could\nnot rely upon direct importations,\nSometimes we have had steamships\nrunning from San .Francisco to this\ncity, but more often we Imve not.\nTlie uncertainty of the service has\nboen such us to make it of small\nvalue as an avenue of trade. The\nsubsidized steamers came no farther\nthan Victoria, and by costly experience every mainland trader knows\nthat -whenever goods have to be\ntranshipped at Victorin a very Iqrgii\naddition goeb on the bill of charges.\nBut a'line of steamers tn Coal Harbor will enable our merchants to\nlay down San Fran \"ico goods ut\nthis city us cheaply an thoy are laid\ndown at Victoiin, and our advantages of river nnd railway traffic\nare such as no other eity in the\ncountry possesses. Jt will be remembered that some years ttgo a\ncharter was obtained from the provincial government for a railway\nfrom the southern boundary to connect with tlio 0. P. R. at- this eity.\nBut the charter was disallowed at\nOttawa, nntl when Sir Alexander\nCampbell was interviewed here it\neatne out that he and the government\nhad been stuffed by Victoria people\nwith the notion that tho boundary\nrailway would take away traffic\nfrom the C. P. R. Tlie absurdity\nof such a notion was pointed out in\nthese columns, but, nevertheless,\nthe charter would not be allowed.\nNow the action of tho syndicate in\nsecuring connection with San Fran\ncisco makes manifest the absolute\nfolly of tite plea upon which this\ncharter was disallowed. At San\nFrancisco there nro two transcontinental railways extremely anxious\nto compete for the overland trade,\nand the establishment of a steamship line between the C, P. R. terminus and the termini of these\nrailways, according to the reasoning of the Dominion government,\nwould draw trade from the Canadian line instead of acting as a\nfeeder to it! But the syndicate\nknows better, It knows that the\nC. P. R. is the shortest and most\neconomical railway across the continent, and that it is able to compete\nsuccessfully with any other road for\nthrough traffic. Tf it did not know\nthis, it would certainly not concern\nitself about connection with San\nFrancisco. We repeat, that a line\nof railway as proposed from the\nboundary to connect with the C. P,\nH. at this city would not take trade\nuway from the Canadian road, but\nwould bring to it a large share of\nthe trade of Washington Territory.\nThe people south of the boundary\nare looking anxiously for thc construction of this rond, for the reason\nthat they expect it to become the\navenue through which their trallic\nwill be carried on. They Imve given\nup the hope of (hiding tin outlet, nt\nleast for many years to come,\nthrough their own railways, and as\nthe Canadian Pacilic is the nearest\nto them nnd thc shortest, they are\nsure to become its patrons. If the\nsyndicate intends to persevere\nthe aggressive policy indicated by\nits bid for tlw San Francisco trade,\nand for the trade of Minneapolis, it\nwill certainly take the necessary\nsteps also to bring within its reach\nthe growing trade of northern\nWashington Territory.\niiml at by which the Canadian t'acifio\nwill he extended by thu western syndicate from Algoma to Sault Ste. Marie,\nwhence a direct line to Minneapolis is\nbuilding. While hero the Minneapolis\ngentlemen made all the necessary arrange,\nmenu witli tlie Bank of Montreal for\nthe nionetnrv assistance required, and\nby the fall of 1880 Montreal and Minneapolis will be iti direct communication\nvia the Canadian Pacifio. This will give\nMinneapolis a shorter litie to the seaboard by 400 miles than any existing,\nwitli Mcii-h-eiil us its summer point, and\nthe choice of the United States and\nmaritime province ports for ita winter\nshipments to Europe.\nRangoon* Fob. 0.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Lord Dufferin received an ovation here, especially from\ntlie natives, who are grateful for Lady\nDufferiu's efforts in behalf of thc native\nwomen.

She testified that Rosa Spirts\nmot her and showed her an invitation to\ntake tea at Louisa Hart's house. The\nchildren went to tho house, and after tea\nthey were entertained with music for\nawhile, und were then conducted to a room\nwliere they were introduced to an old\nmail, respectable in appearance. They\nwere compelled to remove their clothes\nand submit to the grossest indignities.\nThe details of the girl's evidence wore\nrevolting. The children made a second\nvisit to the house, and ou this occasion\nmet another old man, who wns also of\nrespectable appearance. Tho Hart woman gave money to the children nud instructed thein not to tell their parents\nabout what had occurred, aud to spend\nthe money on candies and ca.es. Tlie\ncourt refused to admit the defendant to\nbail. The Gazette asserts that if the prosecution is followed up thc public will\nlearn the names nnd facts disclosed to\nthe secret commission appointed to enquire into the Gazelle's charges.\nGilbert Laird, St. Margaret'sJHopo,\nOrkney, Scotland, writes: 1 am requested by several friends to order another\nparcel of Dr. Thomas' Eclectrie Oil.

Is this\nin keeping with thc -'eternal fitness of\nthings,\" or is it not? Can any good and\nBiilticicnt reason be given for such uttor\napathy in matters which might be supposed to concern all good citizens? Cun\nit bu th.it, with perhaps a fow exceptions, only those whu have axes to giih'd\nwill lake the trouble to vote atom' municipal election'.-? Are tliere uo issues but\nthose turning on pbi-aoiiallticaandaelflah*\nness? Is it pos-ihlu that the majority\nof the ra^payora are eithor grossly Ignorant or stupidly Indifferent i Assuming\nthat there arc no issues immediately\naffecting their pockets, does the present\nmoral status of our town tickle the complacency of this valiant gang of Itip\nVan Winkles? Or is there something\ninherently immoral [i. e., in British Co.\nltimbia) in seeking for moral reform\nthrough the polls?\nAs to our present minority-elected civic\nboard\u00E2\u0080\u0094or rather the members of that\nboard, severally and individually\u00E2\u0080\u0094 I have\nnothing to say (they arc no doubt good\ncitizens und all that); but I would ask\nthe friends of law, order, morality and\nChristianity if they suspect the present\ncouncil, as a whole, of any decided sympathies with, or intentions toward, real\nmoral reform ? Have our municipal\ncouncils in the past, generally speaking,\nexhibited any striking inclinations in\nthat direction? Cau our legislative assemblies, even, show any better record\niu this respect? If not, why not? Simply this: not, iu the first place, because\nthere has not always existed a crying necessity for moral reform, but because\n{and here lies the kernel of the whole\nmatter) those whose ditty it was. and\nwhose concern it should have been, failed\nto onforotj their demands In the proper\ntime and place. If those who pray,\n\"Thy kingdom come\" display a heartless\napathy or criminal negligence, instead of\nexercising every legitimate means for\nhastening such a happy consummation,\nwhat can they expect but that the worldly, sollisli, uud too often unscrupulous\nmen whom they, directly or indirectly,\nassist into places of influence and power,\nso far from futhering Christ's cause and\nkingdom, will iu ull probability put obstacles in the way of its progress.\nIs the franchise so small a boon and so\nlittle appeciuted as to be with perfect\nimpunity either shamelessly prostituted,\nor (like tho unprofitable servant's oue\ntalent) basely hid in the earth? But it\nmay be urged in palliation of the indifference manifested at the recent civic election, that there was no regularly-organized or clearly-defined issue beforo the\npeople to command the attention and engage the sympathies of the electors. This\nmay he admitted; but what sort of a\n\"thing\" do tliese good peoplo take an\n\"issue\" for, anyhow? Do they expect\nan \"issue\" to make a personal canvass\nand solicit their vote and influence ? If\nso, they need to ho informed that \"Mr.\nIssue\" is not that sort of an entity. Ho\nis considerably more modest than the\naverage \"ward politician.\" No; an issue\nmust be brought out, forced out, and\nkept out\u00E2\u0080\u0094and a moral issue pre-eminently so.\nSonic good (?) citizens may he ready\nto exclaim: \u00E2\u0080\u0094 \"What does all this\ntalk about 'moral issues' mean, anyway ?\nWe don't wunt 'moral issues'; givo u.s\nrailroads, woollen mills, water works,\ncheap whisky, and 'gas'; but these 'moral issues'\u00E2\u0080\u0094hang 'em\u00E2\u0080\u0094are too visionary.\nWe are too moral now.\" All auoh flippant objectors may here drop out of the\ndiscussion* but those who can answer\ntho following questions in the affirmative\nmay proceed a Btep further: (1) Do we\nreally want moral reform in our cities,\niu our municipalities, m our province, in\nour Dominion ? (2) Have we good rea*\nson for supposing that certain measures\nof moral reform can be obtained, by\nlegitimate means through our municipal\naud provincial governments? (3) Are\nwe prepared to make moral reform the\nfirst article in our political creed, to\nwhich all other issues shall bear a relative and subordinate importance ? Theso\nquestions having heen satisfactorily disposed of, let me make a practical suggestion to the faithful few who have stood\nthe test, whicli is: that they form themselves, without unnecessary delay, into a\nsociety or league (which for convenience\nmight be called the Moral Reforms\nLeague) with tho avowed object of intelligently comprehending, incessantly agitating, and constantly furthering, by\nevery legitimate ineaua in their power\n(hut chiefly and especially through the\npolls) all moral reforms which they can\ndiscern to be desirable and possible. Before I proceed, permit mc to suggest\nfurther that, for obvious reasons, tho extension of tho franciiisc to women should\nho oue of the lirst articles in the society's\ncreed; they can be trusted properly to\nappreciate and to exorcise faithfully this\nprivilege, if tho \"lords of creation\" do\nprove recreant.\n1 may mention in this connection, by\nway of reminder, that our general election for thc provincial parliament takes\nplaco this year. The highest judicial\nauthority in the empire, has just decided\nthat the Dominion cannot constitutionally interfere with the right of the provinces to regulate their own liquor tratfio.\nAnd this same liquor traffic\u00E2\u0080\u0094itself an\nincalculable curse, as well aa the inevitable concomitant and chief factor of\nnearly all immorality and crimo\u00E2\u0080\u0094is now\nleft in our hands (t, e,, in the hands of\nthe people of British Columbia, who, under responsible govornment, are virtually\ntheir own law-makers) to \"regulate\" or,\nbetter still, ueleoate, as wo may see fit.\nLet us not shirk our responsibility in\nthis matter. Let us not be backward\nabout going forward I Surely we do not\nintend to sit folding our arms until, perchance, in somo uncertain period iu the\nfuture the Dominion government sees fit\nto give us a federal prohibitory enact*\nment ? Not so did we act in the matter\nof Chinese restriction! No; we were too\nmuch in earnest to trifle there. We agitated und legislated, passing bill aftor\nbill, only to have them disallowed by the\nfederal authorities, until finally wo gained\nour object.

Dare\nany of us presumptuously question, with\nCain: \"Am I my brother's Keeper ?\" Let\nus at least be in earnest and do what wc\ncan, if some selfish Interests do have to\ngo tothe wall.

The majority of this\nthrong is composed of loafers and\nroughs of the worst class. Numbers\nof policemen aro present, but their\nefforts to control the turbulence of the\nmob has so far proved unavailing. They\nhave beeu unable to clear tho streets,\naud traflic is for the time brought to a\nstandstill. The spirit of the mob today is distinctly''aggressive.- Every\ncarriage which comes within reach of\nthe rioters is at once surrounded and\nits occupants hooted, Imscd and insulted. During tho early part of the afternoon a gorgeous equipment was driven\nnear thu mob. Someone said the turnout was the lord mayor's and the\nrioters at once made a rush for it,\nseemiugly determined to tear the\nvehicle to pieces and tramp its occupants to death. Tho polico, however,\nby a vigorous chargo rescued the\nequipage and its occupants nnd got\nthom to a place of safety. Tho mob\nat present is simply u tremendous mass\nof undirected human savages. Thero\nis nothing, it would seem, but the\nwant of some popular leader to prevent\ntho mob from exerting its strength to\nsome organized movement wliich might\nbring nbout tho most disastrous results.\nDuring tho afternoon the police charged\ntho mob twice iu full force for the purpose of breaking it up and driving the\nfragments from Trafalgar Square, but\nboth efforts wero absolutely futile.\nTho mob would yield n little at the\npoint of attack, but bulge out in some\nother direction. Tho police could uot\nsurround or break it. Each failure of\ntho polico was greeted by the vast assemblage with cheers and yells. At\nthis hour the rioters are getting en\nraged at tho frequent repetition of\nhostility, and the temper of the mob is\nperceptibly rising. Thousands of men\nnre pouring down on the scene, nud all\npavements in the vicinity of Trafalgar\nSqunro are lined wiih excited men,\nrows on cither side of the street being\nno less than six men deep.\nLatkr.\u00E2\u0080\u0094TIio increasing gravity of\ntho situation finally nlarined Ihe authorities, and they put forth all their\nenergies to suppress the incipient riot.\nThe police force on duty at Trafalgar\nSqunro was enormously increased and\nprepared for a well-dolineil and exhaustive assault. This, after a long all ng*\ngin, resulted in tho pushing of the mob\nInto side streets, and thus splitting it\nup The polico followed up their work\naud drove each fragment of broken\nbroken mob until its elements were\ndissipated in tho alleyways nnd byways\nof the town. Evory precaution has\nbeen taken to prevent tho ru-assemblage of any mob. Many of the rioters\nhave beon arrest ud. Homo of these\nwere fined and discharged, others have\nbeen rotuatidod for trial, whilo a number hnvo been sentenced to imprisonment for various offences.\nLord Randolph Churchill appeared\nat the window of the Carlton Club\nbuilding whon Ihe mob reached there.\nHe wns loudly hooted and menaced\nwith clenched lists by the rioters. Tho\nmost violent sets woro committed on\nNorth nud South Audloy streets and\nOxford street. Probably 'J00 shops\nand club houses are Bcrioualy damaged,\nand abuut 60 shops pillaged, including\njewelers', bakers', butchers' nnd wine\nships.

The proceedings wero opened\nwith nn assemblage of 10,01)0 people.\nThe police were present in largo numbers, They at once saw that tho Socialistic element of London grently\npredominated in the crowd, which was\nnlso managed by a well-known Socialist. Conspicuous among the leaders\nwas Burns, who run as Socialistic candidate in Nottingham, in the recent\nelectiun. Ho sneered nt the polico,\nand acted generally ns if he wished to\nbring about a conflict between tlio\npolice and the people. Finally he ascended the pedestal of the Nelson column for the purposo of delivering a\nharangue. Ho wns well uwnre this uct,\nwould not l>u tolorated, and the polico\npolitely ordered him to got down. Ho\nrefused to do this, aud appealed to the\ncrowd to resist interference with thu\nexercise of pnpulur rights, Tlio officers, however, wero determined, and\nthey pushed their way through tlie excited and resisting mass, and hy force\nremoved Burns from tiio pedestal. By\nthis time the crowd liad vastly ntltf*\nmooted, and the streets adjacent were\npacked with surging mobs. Tlio stir\nnv the elevated spot wliero the Burns\nincident took place was easily perceptible over almost tiio entire area\ncovered by the concourse, and thc\nsight of helmets and uniforms in tho\nstruggle was accepted as visible proof\nof the commencement of a tight ngainst\nthe law. Thu intelligence wna responded to with a general nnd fearful howl\nnud au attempted rush from till directions tu the point of interest. Burns\nhad now been removed some distance\nfrom the position he had attempted to\noccupy. Ho became emboldened by\ntite cries of the throng, and made desperate efforts to recover the \"lost\nground. He was so effectually helped\nbythe mob tliat tho oflicers on the spot\nwere shoved out of the wuy, and lhe\nomtor was soon pressed up against the\nmonument. He quickly re ascended\nthe pedestal, accompanied by a large\nnumber of other Socialistic orators.\nBurns held a red flag and he waved it\nto the assemblage us a signal of his\ntriumph over the authorities. He was\ngreeted with deafening shouts again\nand again. Burns now finished his addreis. He then road a resolution stating the distress in England, and demanded that parliament start public\nworks to uive employment and bread\nto tens of thousands of deserving men\nwho were out of work through no fault\nof thoir own, but because of bad government; and declared it was tiie duty\nof the government to afford every\nfacility for the employment of British\ncapital nt home for the benefit of tlio\nBritish people, aud to give British interests tho advantage over foreign.\nHo asserted tho time had arrived for\nparliament to earnestly legislate for\nthe relief in the depression of Knglish\nngricultural industry. The resolution\nalso demanded the immediate appointment of n minister of cunmerco aud\nminister nf agriculture, and concluded\nwith tlie resolve that copies should be\nforwarded to Gladstone, Salisbury,\nPnrnoll and tho Board of Public Works.\nThe eliding of thc resolution was accompanied by lierco commont and short\ninHamatory speeches by thu various\norators who stood with Bums. Some\nof these orators wont so far as to warn\nthe government that nlthougli the\nstarving mechanics of London were\nnow attempting to draw attention to\ntheir needs by quiet and peaceful_ agitation, they woro bound to get it by\nattacking baker's shops noxt, if the\ngovernment would not come to their\nrelief. Burns, himself, in one of these\nsidu speeches, denounced thc present\nhouse of commons as a body of landlords fur whom hanging waB too good.\nHo also declared --that the pBOpla had\nassembled to summon parliament to\nimmediately relieve tho distress of\nBritisli walkingmen; that tho peoplo\nwanted thu question Bettled at once,\nuud peaceably if possible, otherwise a\nrevolution was inevitable, All this\naggravated thu excitement of tho huge\nmass, so that the police reformed with\nan increased force, and made anothor\nasBHult. They succeeded in forcing their\nway up to the pedestal. They reached\nthis point just as the resolutions, which\nhud already been seconded, were about\ntu, bo submitted to the mob for approval. The oflicers at onco ordered\nthe proceedings to bu discontinued on\nthu pedestal and commanded Burns\nand his colleagues to como down. Tliis\nlhey refused to do, and tho officers\nthereupon dragged thom down by force\nand drovo thom from thc pedestal. It\nwas evident that Burns expected that\napplication of violence to him would\nprecipitate a riot, and it waB alio apparent that the oflicers immediately\nengaged in removing the orators feared\nan attack, but the men comprising the\nmob were not in a lighting humor, and\ntho mob contented itself for a time liy\nhooting thc police and smothering\nthom with flour, dirt, nnd garbage.\nTho oflicers behaved admirably under\nthis abuse and showed no resentment.\n\u00E2\u0080\u009E After ejection neither Burns nnr any\n\ ot his colleagues made any further (it'i' tempts to get bnck. They at once left\nI the street und proceeded to thc wall of\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 tho National Gallery, thoy mounted\n' this wall und pointed to the doom nnd\nI windows bitterly denouncing tho in*\nI mates. Thia looked like an attempt to\n< Bet the mob on thu building. Thu mob\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 was excited but not up to a point of\nl viulence. Burns and hi*, enlicnguus,\nt seeing this, vacated the Reform Club\ni steps, aud proceeded to tho Onrltou\ni Club steps, where thoy repeated their\nI tactics, By this timu tliu mob was\n' tremendous in numbers and railing to\nt desperation. Tho stories of what tho\nI police had said and done in tho vicinity\nt of the Nelson Column wero circulated\n_ from mouth to mouth, and exaggerated\nwith overy repetition until the atarving\n.( mechanics wore convinced that the\nI authorities had actually dared thorn to\nf conflict. Such a liro us was ready for\nignition aud within striking distance,\nwas inflamed by the ipeeobcs delivered\nM on tho Carlton Club steps. The mob\ni was split up into divisions by being\nf forced down different strcuis by the\npolice from Trafalgar Squnro, and the\nJ various divisions started oil' hooting\nj and howling, itnd challenging thonu-\n! thorities. The invaded streots wero at\nonce abandoned to the rioters, who,\nfinding themselves no longer opposed,\nvented their ill-will ugainst woIMiouiud\npeople itnd against tho clubs, by Utorm-\ning the dwelling and club liuuiui all\nalong the way. At tho time of closing\nthese despatches, all that-part of thu\ncity in the neighborhood of the Na-\nI tional Gallery, Carlton Olub, and Re-\n1 form Club, were in possession of tiio\n1 mob, Several faction fights have already taken plaoe among tbe rmlers,\nand \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 furious mob is now (7 p.m.)\nmarching through St. .lames street,\nPiccadilly, on the way to Hydo Park\nto hold a meeting. The mob is cursing\nthe authorities, attacking shops and\naalooni- getting drunk and irasihing\nwindows. On its way to Hydo Park\nthu front of the mob made an effort to\nenter tho Wnr Office, but turned away\nwhen tho sentinel at thu entrance confronted the intruders with his bayonet.\nConspicuous among buildings attacked\nby tho mob were thoso occupied by\nthe Devonshire Club, and that occupied as a residence by Arnold Morley,\nthe newly appointed Patronage Secretary. Tlio police along the route to\nHyde Park wero brushed nut of tho\nway by the rioters ub so many straws,\nand many of them wero terribly whipped for their interference.\nLater.*\u00E2\u0080\u0094That part of tho Trafalgar\nSquare mob which went to Hydo Park\nwas composed of the hordes which had\ntilled up Oxford street, Pull Mall, and\nSt. James' street, and moved northward through Regent street, to Piccadilly, a quarter of a mile away; and\npassing around Regent's Circus, went\nnorth ngain through Regent street, a\nhalf mile to Oxford Circus. Tho rioters\nturned here to the left, and went west\ndown Oxford street, to Hyde Park,\nthree-quarters of ii mile. This route\nwas undoubtedly chosen by the leaders\nfor the purposo of keeping thu crowd\non safe ground, as they would bo on\ntho north Bide of thc Park. If these\nmobs had gone along St. James' street\nto Piccadilly, and thence to iho Park\nLane, it might havu run too near the\nbarracks ou the smith sidu of tliu Park.\nIt was that part of the mob wliich was\ndrawn east through St. James' street\nto Regent, that attempted to enter the\n*\Vnr Office, opposite St. James' Square,\nbut which whb Beared away. Arnold\nMorley's house is in the Piccadilly\nportion of this route. Tho liouso was\nformerly occupied by John Bright, and\nis well known to\" many of tlio mob.\nWhen tlie rioters approached the houso\nMorley was iu. Ho loudly called for\nhelp, and a number of policemen for\ntho moment stood in tho way of the\nmob, but finally weru swept aside like\nchaff, and a host of desperale mon\nrushed up Morley'a steps. Ho had\nlocked and barricaded the door, but it\nwas burst open and over-run, despite\nhis frantic screams and protests. When\nthu invaders went away they left\nscarcely a sound pane of glass in the\nbuilding. A great number of houses\nalong tho mob's routo fared much\nworse than did John Bright's old\nhome, or the Devonshire Club house,\nwhich had been previously attacked in\nSt. James' slreet. The attack upon\nthis building took placo at tliu very\nbeginning of the riot and was very\nsavage. Hatchet's Hotel is a laii/e and\nwell-known hostelry. -It was 07 and\n08 Piccadilly, and when the mob passed this locality many of the rank and\nfilo of the hungry made n rush for the\nhotel. They had it in their possession\nin u moment, mid sacked it for food\nand drink and left tho building badly\nwrecked. As tho men were leaving\nthe hotel thoy saw a carriage which\nhad been pressed up against the curb\nby thu passing procession, and was\nabandoned by its frightened occupants.\nIi was seized and iu an instant broken\nup, and tho wheels, spokes, shafts, and\nother good nieces, carried away for\nclubs. The Turf Club house, being iu\nPiccadilly, presented a temptation to\nthe Hotel's as they went by, nnd they\nsmashed aU its front doors and windows with stones. All alonu; Regent\nand Oxford streets, between Piccadilly\naud Hydo Park, the houses weru attacked indiscriminately and tlieir windows smashed. After Burns had been\ndriven away frum the Nelson Monument by tho police and hud spukeu\nfrom ihu National Gallery wall and\nCarlton Club steps, a savagu fight uo*\ncurred between his adherents\u00E2\u0080\u0094-socialists\u00E2\u0080\u0094and anti-socialists. The battlo\nraged for some time, but the socialists\nproved victorious and lifted Burns to\ntheir shoulders nnd boro him aloft to\nRegent street, whore with him they\nsucceeded in bunding tho crowd towards Hydo Park, Burns leading tiie\nwholo way. At tho Park, whon thu\nmob had all collected, Bums again addressed them. This speech was even\nmore violent than those before made.\nTho language was exciting and tho\nwhole address calculated to sot tho\ncrowd looso ou tho town. Burns was\nfollowed by several other socialistic\nspeakers, all of whom did all iu thoir\npowor to stir up strife. When the\nspeaking was over tht .nob broke up\ninto sections. The main body went\nback cast along Oxford stroet, and\nagain affrighted residents along the\nthoroughfare, not yot recovered from\nthu panic, and tlie mob had the Btreet\nto themselves. They smashed every\nsound window thoy noticed, and wine\nHhop3 were broken into and their contents distributed freoly to whoever\nwished to drink. Beer shops woro\ntreated similarly. Tailor shops wero\nbroken into, and clothes and rolls of\ncloth thrown out into the street to be\ntaken by those strongest in tho fights\nthat resulted. Kvery person met who\nlookod like foreigners, wore stoned or\nbeaten from the streets. Scores of\ntimes policemen attempted to save the\nassailed property and mako arrests, but\nwere every time beaten and compelled\nto surrender the prisoners. In thu\nmeuntiinu sovoral thousand rpwdies\nI'uimuned iu Trafalgar Square, occupying their time iu daring tho police to\ncome, and making rushes at tho con-\nstnblus and other obnoxious persons.\nIn ono of these rushes tho mob overthrew two heavy granite quarters,\nTliese fell across Charing Cross and\nblocked tho way from Charing Cross\nrailway station. The police made several most dospcrntu exertions to clear\naway tho obstructions, but were easily\nresisted uvcry timu by thu mob. Tho\nmob held their ground so well at Trafalgar Square that until they voluntarily abandoned tho scone the entire\npower of the policu proved insufficient\nto clear the way to one of tliu most\nimportant railway si.tt inn.i in thu world,\nand space loft not largo enough for a\nsingle carriage lino to pass to and fro\nfrom tho depot. At dnrk lhey left\nTrafalgar Square and went away satisfied that without huving actually collided with tho polico they won the day.\nAs the mob dispersed, its sections\nmado havoc until they dwindled away.\nThe scenes which characterized the\nretreat of that Buotion of tho Hyde\nPark mob which went through Oxford\nstreot also attended the rot rent of tho\nothor sections; and every street thoy\nentered surrendered to them. At\nmidnight the police reports concurred\nin Btuting, nover beforu in the present\ngeneration has such n diBturWco\noccurred in London.\nBugley (confidentially to pickpocket\non thu back platform)\u00E2\u0080\u0094My good fellow, I wish you wouldn't try that.\nPickpocket {in great trepidation)\u00E2\u0080\u0094!,\nBir?
