Five of thoso are in and near Glasgow, threo in the Birmingham district, leaving fewer than a dozen in Greater London. The new echeme is, to annoy the highest -and best-known families in London during tho height of tho season —May and tho beginning of June. A special whip has boon sent to tho provinces for volunteers. Tho first great "movement" will bo madoon May 21st, when a procession will ho formed, and headed by Mrs Pankhnrst, an attempt will be mado to enter Buckingham Palace, in order porsonally to interview tho King. With Mrs Pankhurst will bo Mrs Dacre Fox and others, and an attempt will bo mado to enlist Miss Sylvia Pankhurst's army from tho East-end.
