Drilled Ruffians on a tooting, Rurnlng and
Murdering Haiti.
Belfast, Juno 11. 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."

of rain. Tho present prospect in Moeker

considerably from ravages ot chinch bugs.

Belfast cablegram : Tho people havo been
wrought to a stato of groat excitement by
the riotous demonstrations of tho Orange
men during the past two days. All work is

Detachments of soldiers and polico have
been forwarded from Dublin and other

Ornngomon raided a public houso kept by a
Catholic named O'Harc, and after sacking
it set it on firo. Tho polico charged tho
rioters a dozen times witli bayonets, but
wcro each tlmo forced back by volleys of
stones. Tho polico finally wcro forced to
tako rcfugo in their barracks, whoro they
fired upon tho mob from tho second story
windows. Tlio mob, however, held their
ground twenty minutes longer, although
tlio tiring oi mo ponce was uoavy anu in
cessant. Scores of rioters wero wounded. It is
known positively that six men nnd two
womon aro killed. A grea number of
wounded persons wcro carried awny by

Injuries aro fatal or not. Twenty of the

An cyo witness of tlio riots ol Wednesday

Hplto their desperation tlio rioters
hurled their missiles with regularity

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

Washington special: Senator Dawes is

The roport of tho department of agricul

the samo as last year, about 12,000,000
acres. 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

unsatisfactory flax production In Southern
Dakota.
