A SUCCESSION OF FIGHTS.
ORGANISED BLACKGUARDISM. (Received February 20th, 1 a.m.) LONDON, February 25. On Sunday a suffragette meeting in the Pavilion Music Hall developed into a succession of fights with malo interrupters, who successfully resisted ejectment. Mrs Drummond, in appealing for contributions to the fighting fund, said that they did not requiro gunpowder. One gift had been promised of a quantity of paraffin. Another speaker declared that Mrs Pankhurst's arrest would increase militancy a hundredfold. Suffragettes interrupted Mr John Burns while speaking at Battersea, and several were ejected. Mr Burns said that ho meant to break down this tyranny of organised blackguardism. It was in the interest of democracy that such despotism, which had desecrated and thrown back tho women's cause by several years, should be terminated.
