Tho Associated Press reporter detailed to remain on tho ceno of the riots, at G o'clock this morn ing reported ns follows: "I remained among tho rioters all night. Tho greatest damago in tho way ot wrecking and looting was dono along Shank 1111 and corn roads. Fighting In both thoroughfares wis desper ate and continuous. Tho mob was com posed of tho lowest rufllans. Tho bayonets of tho polico had no terrors for them, and In many cases I saw tho mob in over whelming numbers prcsi un ngalnst tho bayonets of tho polico r.nd drlvo them bade. Tho only Instances In which th pollco drovo tho mob at all, no far as 1 observed, wcro thoso In which tho officers woro in compact lines, and fired at close range rapid volleys of buckshot. These tho rioters could not stand ngalnst, and they wero driven back. But even under uch galling firo tiio rioters would drop to tho pavonionts and rush upon tho polico whon they wero reloading. It is Impossible to describo tho Htato of terror In which tho rcspcctnblo Catholic peoplo of Belfast aro now living, in conBcquonco of tho provalllng nnnrcby of bigotry. Tho bravest ot them hordly daro venturo ouldoorH in daylight oven. I know scores of peoplo woro shot down dining lost night's riots. I saw ten taken to tlio hospital this morning. It is feared cvory funeral of a victim of tho riots may provoko fresh outbreaks. Tho law-abiding citizens dotnand of tho govern ment tho appointmout of a special com mission to inquire Into tho causes of tho whole disorder. Fighting at such closo range as to ho prac tically hand to hand continued until 2 o'clock thin morning, when daylight began to dawn and bo many of tho rioter" disap peared as to loavo tho mob of insulllciont strength nH to longer copo with tho armed polico, who succeeded in dispersing it. My observation shows tho mob of lustniglit to bo composed of the very scum of Belfast. I saw members of it throwing pavingstonos weighing fifteen to twonty poundH. I ovon eiiw llunds hurling rocks at dromon who wero imperiling their lives in uttonipts to Rave dwellings from destruction by incen diary fires, and tho helpless innintca from horriblcdcatli. If anything olso worowunt Ing to provo the character of tho mob it could bo furnished by dozens of rullluns I naw during tho night snoukiiig-away from the wrecked or burning buildings laden witli loot." Tho rioting Inst night was less disastrous talin on Wednesday. After tholr day's labor had ended thousands of working men gathered in tho vicinity of tho Bower Hill polico station. They oxecrnted tho polico und cried out, "Wo will liavo ton lives for. uvcry ono of tlio murdered." Tho county Iiollco wero then withdrawn and somo woll :nown local constnbloaworo sent to reason with tho niob. Tho latter demanded tho -withdrawal of nil tho polico. Archbishop" Laino and sovornl Presbyterian clergymen after this Implored tho mob to disperse. Their addresses provod altogether useless, and oven while tho clergymen wero speaking tho rioters kentup desultory stono throw ing at tho polico. Onostono struck a divlno nqunroly in tho faco and hurt him severely. Captain Lcslrange, a resident magistrate who was present to counsel order, was struck by a brickbat in tho head. When tho preachers ceased tho mob surged up to tho gato of tho barracks and dolled tho polico to como -and tako a squnro tight. Tilings wont on in this wny until about 10 o'clock, when two troops of dragoons wal loped tip. Thoy wero followed by HOO in fantry. These mon hail boon underarms olovon hours. Tho mob was for a moment poworlesB with surprisonnd dispersed. The runaways soon, howevor, became- nshnmod til themselves and returned to the sceno, jeering tho soldiers. Tho latter had takon completo possession of tho streets around tho bnrracltB and cardonod tliom effoctivo ly. Tho, mob, realizing tlio Impregnability ot tho polico position, now departed in boo tions, cursing tlio popo, denouncing home rule, and singing "Tho Ornngo Lily" and "Kulo Uritannlo."

What Committees of the Houses llaee to He. lort Concerning It. Washington dispatch: In reporting to the houso ndversely Representative Gros venor's resolution providing for tho resto ration of tlio tariff of 1807 on wool, thq committee on wnys and mennssubmit that tho duty upon imported wool is proved, by testimony derived from botli argument ami experience, to be injurious to nil classes and beiuficial to none. It drives from our markets tunny klndB of wool not raised hero but indispensable to the manufacturer of woolen goods. It gives tho Luropenn manufacturer exclus vo use of those wools, and therefore a monopoly of goods mndo of them, nnd consequently of tho markets of tho world. It confines American manu facturers to a restricted choice of materials and so to tho production ot a limited class ot goods witli which tho homo mnrket is periodically glutted. It makes It Impossible for our manufacturers to export woolen goods, and by confining them to homo mnikets leads to ruinous fluctuations iu prices, resulting in tlio frequent closing of mills, and their sales at a disastrous sacrifice. Tho coinmltteo therefore recommended that tho resolu tion lio on the table, but that the prayer of tho tcxtilo workers in Philadelphia should bo granted that duties on wool should bo repealed and duties on woolen manufactures bo reduced to un equal ex tent. Tho adverse report of tho committee on Wilkins' resolution, declaring against any reduction of duty on wool, is bused upon a letter written to tho chairman by John O. Smith, formerly member ot congress froin Ohio, and at one time commissioner of In dian affairs. Smith comments severely upon u letter written to the secretary of tho treasury by a committee purporting to represent tho wool growers of Ohio, in which they strongly favor the restoration of tlio duty of ISO". Smith says, in con clusion: "It is to bo devoutly hoped that wool will bo mndo free, and that the mil lions of poor peoplo of Ameiica may bo allowed to clothe themselves in the softest and warmest garments that monoy will buy in any market of tlio world. I hope your committee) will give not only to the wool tariff, but to tho whole protectivesystem, a searching examination, to seo whether it lias not been a tremendous rurso to Hie American people and especially to Ameri can farmers." I'epreseutative McKinloy ot Ohio, on be half of the minority of tho committee on ways and means, sumniued a report; on ho wool resolution reported auvorseiy uy that committee. Tho minority go into an exhaustive argument, bristling with figures, to demonstrate that the groa th and devel opment of ugriculttno havo not been ob structed by protective tariffs, and tho re port then continues: "Our political sys tem ditfeis from all others. Universal citi zenship and equal suffrage constitute the foundation upon which our republic rests, nnd the real and wider question, therefore, of tariff is: What will best main tain our industial pursuits and labor conditions suitable to tho high poli tical duties of our people and tho exalted trusts which are confided to them so long should American tariffs be upheld nnd defended, whether assaulted roni iiilliienccs ni iioiuu or noitum. riro trade with every other nation of tho world means to us either tho substantial abiin- fl nil til put. nt manv of tho chief industries of the country, or if they lire to survive, it. means an euunl cost in tlio manufacture ot competing products.

A SMALL PROSPECT FOR SUCCESS. Tlte Sioux Reservation Rill Xot Likely to Get Through Congress. Washington special: Senator Dawes is nowadays spending much ot his time at the house end ot the capital endeavoring to gain strength for tho Big Sioux reservation bill. Tho aggravating delay causid by the cheap debotoon tho oleomargarine bill and tho concentrating pressure nowadays oi tlie various appropriation bills, lias duced the chances of getting at tho Sioux bill to tho minimum. At no timo in tlie session lias the.-o been so small prospoct fni- Mm Hiieress of tho measure as now. It seems to uo pretty won oecmeii unu cum- ii ,l 1 . .1.... gress will adjourn by tlio niiddlo of July, and with tlio amount ol work- on tno cui oiidar at present it is not likely that mote than a dozen general bills, outsido of the appropriation bills, can bo brought up for consideration, iiotn mo sciiaiu nun ttin Iuiiikh are -nutting through ns rapidly as possible an immense ntim nor of small bills for pension nd Bimtlar obicctn Unit been thoroughly discussed by the vnrioiis committeos and require no con MhW.it Inn in eenortil debate.

There is an increnso of one-sixth of last year's breadth In Dakota, a decrease in Nebraska, and a small reduction in Min nesota and Wisconsin. Tho extension ol area in Dakota is due mninly to settlement, and tho necessity ot ready money tor Im provements, and somewhat to last year's unsatisfactory flax production In Southern Dakota.
