That some violent scene would occur at the Royal matinée was to be expected , and the scenes at Bow - street , though not unprecedented , were certainly on à larger scale than any previous essay in law- lessness . To say that the Suffragettes have set up a reign of terror in London would be to wax melodramatic ; but admittedly they have caused great uneasiness . Many persons made fruitless journeys to the Tate Gallery to find it closed in anticipation of a raid . There is no public exhibit ar building that may be regarded as safe . The King , it is said , is very incensed at last week's de- monstration ; and it is stated that he will more public appearances in the cause of charity while this form of unrest continues . The abandonment of the Royal garden - party has been mooted . The prospect of a ' bus strike appears to be receding . It has never created a perturba- tion proportionate to its seriousness , the Lon- doner having apparently come to regard ' bus . and tube , as a part of the scheme of things , and as little liable to interference as the motions of the heavenly bodies . The men are being balloted ; but it looks as though the concessions by the company , while they do not amount to the full demands of the charter , " will give pretty general satisfac- tion . Several increases are conceded , and the men's contributions to the accident club are no longer to be demanded . That a week of glorious weather should have lapsed into evil ways on the day ap- pointed for the aerial Derby was disappoint- ing .
