Dec. 18.—-David Lloyd George, M. P., in speaking in Birmingham town hall tonight, precipitated a scene unpre cedented in that city since the Aston Park riots. The majority of the audience were hos tile to the speaker and were enraged by his pro-Boer and anti-Chamberlain ut terances. They rushed the police corden guarding the platform. In the meanwhile the building was be sieged from the outside by a mob of several thousand people, who smashed windows and tried to force the doors, which had been barricaded. They fusi laded the audience with stones through the windows. The police reserves were i turned out and succeeded in dispersing the mob after repeated charges. A number of persons were injured and the town hall was com pletely wrecked. Not a single window was left whole. The Birmingham riot is considered a curious illustration of the varied career of Mr. Chamberlain, the Colonial Secre tary. The Aston Park riots of 1884, it is pointed out, were demonstrations on the part of the Chamberlainites against the so-called Tory intruder. Lord Randolph Churchill, while the riot today was one against an .extreme Radical. The feeling against Mr. Lloyd George has been so strong during the past week that tickets were forged to en able the jingoes to gain admis , sion to the town hall. Crowds were awaiting admission to the building long before the doors of the town hall were opened. The building filled quickly and it was immediately seen that trouble was coming. While the organist was playing the dis3entists began to sing “Britons never will be slaves,” and kept it up until the organist was compelled to desist. Then cheers were raised for "Josey.” A white flag was unfurled amid deafenJng shouts o i “traitor” as Mr. Lloyd George and his friends appeared on the platform. All attempts at speech making were futile, owing to the continuous din of hissing, hooting and singing. The speak ers perforce had to content themselves with dictating a few sentences in the ears of the reporters. These were mainly of protest against the agitation caused by the jingo press. In the meantime the enormous crowd outside the building had become more noisy and menacing. Presently a stone came through a window. This caused a f tampede among the occupants of the gal lery. From this time forward pandemo nium reigned in he building, and ugly rushes were made for the platform. The police were soon overpowered. Mr. Lloyd George and his friends were compelled to retreat to an inner room for safety. They were unable to leave the building for fear of mob violence and were thus kept prisoners until a late hour —*— Mr. Lloyd George, disguised as a chief constable, left the towm hall with a posse of policemen. Many constables were seriously injured in their attempts to clear the streets, which they did not succeed in doing until a heavy downfall of rain and sleet came to their assist ance. It is rumored that one civilian has died of injuries received. Several arrests tor resisting the police have been made. At a meeting held out side the town hall resolutions of confi dence in the government were adopted. This meeting sent the following telegrom tc Mr. Chamberlain: “Lloyd George, the traitor, was not al lowed to say a word. The citizens have rassed a resolution of confidence in the government and their admiration of your unique and fearless services for king and country.” Estimates of the numbers of the dem onstrators vary from 10,00 to 50,000 per sons.

C., December 18.— The Senate committees were announced today. Senator Simmons was placed on the committees wired last night. Sena * tor Pritchard remains chairman of the Committee on Patents. He is a member of several Important committees. It is a fact, not generally published, that Senator McLaurin, of South Caro lina, attended the Republican Caucus Tuesday morning and was rewarded by being placed on six committees a* a Republican. During the meeting Sena tor McLaurin made a brief statement of his position, claiming that he could not consistently act with the Democrats. He was given a place on the following committees: Claims, Mississippi River, Indian affairs, manufacturers, executive departments and transportation.

H. & B. BEER. PLAN FORCIVIL RULE Provision Embodied in the Philippine Commission’s Annual Report. (By the Assocated Press.) .Washington, Dec. IS. —Provision for a permanent civil government and for much important legislation regarding the in dustrial development of the Philippines is embodied in the annual report of the Philippine Commission. It is declared by the commission that: “Outside of the five provinces named in Batangas, Cebu, Bethe, Samar and Mirandopy there is peace in the archi pelago. All insurreotos have surrendered, and, in most of the provinces, except among the Lake Moros, it is entirely safe during the day for travellers unattended to go from one town to another. In other provinces, recent war conditions and suffering and hardship from rattle, pest and locusts have developed ladron ism. The people desire peace and protec tion.” It is declared that the only possible method of instructing the Filipino people is to make a government partly of Ameri cans and partly of Filipinos, with ulti mate control in American hands for some time to come. The educated people have but a faint conception of real civil lib erty and the mutual self-restraints re quired for its maintenance. The commis sion have, however, established municipal suffrage in the pacified parts of the is lands and have limited the suffrage to tht few who can read and write English or Spanish, or who own property of the value of $250, pay an annual tax of sls, or have been municipal officers. Thus far only 1';»,523 electors have qualified under these provisions out of a population of : 2,095,801. The commission outlines a project which contemplates the continuance for two years of the existing powers of tlie ccmmlssicn. Then a representative gov ernment is to he formed composed of a civil governor, a legislative council and a popular assembly, the powers of the lat ter being closely limited. The President of t.he United States would, of course, reserve absolute veto power. RISING AT MANILA FEARED (By the Associated Press.) VICTORIA. B.
