GRAND RALLY OF SOCIALISTS.

LONDON, Oct. 23.--Despite the alarming reports concerning Gladstone's health there is absolutely no cause for apprehension. He is suffering from one of his usual colds, [corse?] [?] upon exposure to drafts, etc., while traveling, which is somewhat aggravated by hoarseness resulting from the exactions of his speeches, but all report agree that he is much better tonight, and indications of his complete recovery within a few days are unmistakable.

To the astonishment of everybody, and no one more than the socialists and alleged and unemployed workers themselves, the police permitted the projected [reering?] which they had previously all but prohibited to be held in [?] Sqaure, Clerkenwall. Green and other places today. The crowds at all of the meetings were enormous, but there was no attempt at violence and what little disorder occured was so slight as to call for no special activities on the part of the police. The speeches at the [dinerent?] stands were violent enough to have incited men to [?otous] demon-nation who had not half the cause to rebel against society that the speakers protess to have, get beyond the applause of the multitudes indorsin the gentlmen's of the [speakers?] there [?] nothing to demote that the advice of the loaders was heeded by their followers.

[Intelligences?] has been recieved of the destruction by fire of [?]. a town of Buck[?] Central Asia. Hald the inhabitants relished in the flames.

The American Exhibition will be closed Oct. 31, after which date Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Show, the feature that has prevented the exhibition from failing completely, will go to Birmingham, thence to Manchester. The close of the exhibition will be marked by a meeting of prominent Americans and Englishmen to discuss the question of international extradition.

PEACE UNDISTURBED

London's Apprehensions Not Seriously Realized--The Mob in the Abbey.

A SPEECH INTERRUPTED

A Home Rule Meeting Broken Up By Police--Blunt Arrested--Evicted.

No Violence Attempted

LONDON, Oct.23.--[United Press Cable.] To the astonishment of everybody and no one more than the socialists and alleged unemployed workingmen themselves, the police permitted the projected meetings which they had previously all but prohibited to be held in Trafalgar square, Clerkenwell Green and other places today. The crowds at all of the meetings were enormous but there was no attempt at violence and what little disorder there was, was so slight as to call for no especial activity on the part of the police. The speeches at the different stands were violent enough to have incited men to riotous demonstrations who had not hald the cause to rebel against society that these men profess to have, yet beyond the applause of the multitudes endorsing the sentiments of the speakers there occured nothing to denote that the advice of the leaders was heeded by their followers. The enthusiasm, always at high temperature, was raised to white heat by the assertion of some of the speakers that if the police had not permitted the meetings bloodshed would have inevitably followed and the truth of the statement seems to be generally admitted. The absence of nothing, however, was by no means due to the peaceful disposition of the crowd. The police were amply prepared to quell any disturbance that might arise and pains were taken to have the mob made aware of their precautions and determined to avail themselves thereof. Everybody is convinced that the police acted wisely in permitting the meetings, [next row illegible]

Everybody is convinced that the police acted wisely in permitting the meetings, while holding the mob in check as they gave the blatent orators opportunity to open their safety valves and exhause the pressure of their feelings in words strong enough to have stirred any mob to violent deeds, yet which excited nothing more harmful than approving shouts. The storm is past and the damage it influcted is not apparent.

CHAMBERLAIN'S VOYAGE.

Mr. Chamberlain having completed his arrangements to sail for America next Saturday, it is announced that he will make only a bried visit to New York and then proceed to Washington. After leaving Washington he will make a tour of Canada. It is asserted that he will make no public speeches while in America, and this is probably true with regard to the United States, but it is thought to be doubtful if he can resist the temptation to indulge in his propensity for public declamation to which he will unquestionably be subjected in Canada and likely the Orangemen of Toronto and Kingston will be told the [oft?] repeated story of the good Ulstermen and the bad national leagers.

THE AMERICAN EXHIBITION.

The American exhibition will be closed October 31, after which date Buffalo Bill and his wild west show--the man and the features that have prevented the exhibition from fading completely--will go to Birmingham, thence to Manchester. The close of the exhibition will be marked by a meeting of prominent Americans and Englishmen to discuss the question of international arbitration, the conspicuous Englishmen who have promisted to attend being Cardinal Manning, General Lord Wolseley, the Marquis of Bristol, John Bright and the Early of Derby.

SCOTCH HOME RULERS.

A deputation of Scotch home rulers arrived in Dublin yesterday and were recieved by Lord Mayor Sullivan at the Imperial hotel last evening. Police reporters were not admitted. The hotel was surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd but the utmost good I order prevailed.

GLADSTONE'S HEALTH.

Despite the alarming reports concerning Mr. Gladston'e health, there is absolutely no cause for apprehension. He is suffering from one of his usual colds, consequent upon exposure to draft, caught while traveling, which is some what aggraveted by hoarseness, resulting from the axactions of his series of speeches, but all reports agree taht he is much better tonight, and the indications of his complete recovery within a few days unmistakeable.

Buffalo Bill [?] for This.

LONDON, October 25- The referee says: "So tremendous is the exodous of British lads bound for the great plains that a special staff of detectives is employed on the standing stage at Liverpool to look out for runaway youths and restore them to their parents. The boys stopped have from four to sixteen loaded revolvers concealed about them, and lariats galore packed away in their trunks. It would perhaps serve to check the epidemic if his royal highness the Prince of Wales would cause it to be announced in the Court Circular, that only one cowboy at a time can dine at Marlborough House.

YOUNG FOLKS' COLUMN.

THE NORTH WIND THAT PUZZLES WEATHER PROPHETS.

The Art of Ventriloquism Taught to Man by the Animals--A chapter in the History of the Old Deadwood Mail Coach.

There are few, if any, of our young folk who have not heard about "Buffalo Bill" and his Wild West show that illustrates life on the western frontier, with its Indians and cowboys, its buffalo huting, etc. (Buffalo Bill's true name is W.F. Cody.) Mr. Cody figured conspicuously in the United States army during the war, and has been a member of congress. He led for many years a most adventurous life, during which time, among other positions occupied, was that of guide to many expeditions. Mr. Cody gained his sobriquet of "Buffalo Bill" from the fact that he proved buffalo meat for the workmen of the Union Pacific railway, bringing down with his own rifle an innumerable number of animals.

OLD DEADWOOD MAIL COACH.

Our illustration presents a relic of those rough days in the shape of a heavy, lumbering coach, which used to convey the miners from Deadwood, Colo. This coach has been one of the feature in the Wild West show, both in America and England, but as it was in the old days often shattered by robber and has been repaired many times, it is quite probable that comparatively little of the original vehicle remains. It is told that some forty years for more ago, Brigham Young rode in this stage when he went prospecting for the promised land of the Mormons.

How Buffalo Bill Keeps His Indians Sober.

It is said that Bill is the only man who can keep Indian sober enough for business, when he can get the grog about an hour before a performance. Bill treats the Indians to a mug of Moxie Nerve Food. It sobers a drunken Indian in an hour. Kelly Bros., I Charlotte street, London, are Americans doing a heavy business between America and Europe. They conduct the Lamson Cash Cairler business and other business. Obeserving how Bill sobered Indians, and later have two friends cured of paralysis by Moxie, they considered that anything that could counteract the effect of English grog and cure paralysis was a good investment. They immediately came to America and secured the control of Moxie in England and with Bill have got an extensive Moxie craze.
