A large number were • brought from the country by special trains 1 and assembled on the public plaxas deasigs noted. The procession began to move aurr reunded by a dense crowd of spectators, ‘ who biased, hooted and bowled with the > greatest vehemence, and soon the mob blocked the procession, and hand-to-hand * fights began. Banner* and mottos were 3 wrested from the carrier* and trampled - under foot, la a short time th e procession became divided, and a body of gendarmes took the lead of one section in the vain attempt to preserve order. The police mode many arrests, but the mub was uncontrollable and the procession was forced ■ to disband. The riot lasted over six hours, and lKf» arrests were made. The absence : of pistol* and knives in the street fights of - Belgium accounts for the fact that only i three perwon* have died from their wounds, i but many were badly used up with bruises - and broken bones.
