ANTI-MILITARISTS.
DISTURBANCE IN CHRISTCHURCH. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH. Last Night. A disturbance occurred on Saturday night at one of the open air meetings, addressed by anti-militar-ists at the Clock Tower, and it is alleged that a.portion of the crowd set upon Sergeant Stewart,, when he went to the assistance of two ladies, who were screaming. It is also alleged that the police drew their batons, but the police report of the feuds makes no mention of this, and jf batons were drawn, it is assumed that they were drawn for purposes of display. Superintendent Kelly states that at these meetings the police are subjected to considerable abuse; Ho adds: "If tilings are allowed to continue as they are, I shall be surprised if these gatherings do not terminate .in bloodshed." Prosecutions of some of Saturday night's offenders are to follow.
