RIOT AND INCENDIARISM AT BELFAST.
The Police Powerless to Check the Mad Mob
— Free Whisky and General Robbery
—Other Foreign Items.
Belfast, June 9.—The Orangemen aro
again rioting here to-day. They have
wrecked hundreds of houses in the city, two
of which they burned. The rioters have
broken into several whisky stores and pos-
sessed themselves of the contents. Numer-
ous men are lying about the gutters drunk.
Others,made desperate or maudlin by drink,
are prowling about the streets crying out,
" To h— with the pope." In various as-
saults made by the police upon the rioters
twenty-five of the latter have already been
severely wounded by buckshot fired at
them. The police have been ordered to tire
balls to-night in the event of any general
renewal of the rioting.
whipped out the police.
Last night a mob of Orangemen made an
attack upon a tavern kept by a Catholic
named Duffy. The police were promptlv
on the scene, and after a stubborn contest,
during which thev used carbines, drove the
mob away in disorder. The rioters reas-
sembled with increased strength and again
attacked Duffy's, this time overpower-
ing the police and driving them frorn
the place. In the first assault
Chief of Police Carr was wounded and now
lies in a critical condition. When the
Orangemen returned to the fight they were
accompanied by a large number of factory
girls, who goaded or snamed the men on to
battle, and formed the most dangerous
element. When the officers abandoned
Duffy's, the mob at once took complete
possession of the tavern. It was at once
thoroughly sacked. All the taps
and spiggots were set running
and everybody invited to help
himself according to taste. All
barrels of liquor found in stock were car-
ried into the street, lifted up higli and let
fall until broken and liberated the contents.
All the furniture was carried out, piled in
the center of the roadway and burned in a
bonfire to furnish the rioters with light dur-
ing the debauch. Men, youths and girls
drank until they fell helpless in the streets,
the girls acting with greater fury in
the early stages of the orgie than
the men. The noise, [profanity and
disorder was terrible. The mob ended
the work here by firing the tavern it-
self and it burned to the ground. Then the
stronger men who had become infuriated,
not overpowered, ran through the streets,
pillaging wherever they went, increasing
their followers the further they proceeded.
These rioters after awhile congregated
around the police station and stoned the
place until they were tired. They then
marched toward another tavern. Tne
police hastened thither in advance and at-
tempted to protect the property, but they
were overpowered and driven away. The
mob was left in possession and treated the
tavern as they had treated Duffy's. They
turned on all the taps, broke full barrels in
the street, made bonfires of the furniture,
and finally set fire to the building. The
police returned and this time got the better
of the mob. whose ranks were depleted by
scores who had fallen away in drunkenness,
and extinguished the flames before they
could gain control of the structure. But the
officers \yere unable ro drive the men away
from the locality. They remained ana
dominated it until morning. During the
rowdyism of the night, Gladstone and Par-
nell were both burned in effigy, and the
dummy corpse labeled, " Home-rule was
Cremated."
Two men named Hart and Mason were
arrested to-day for the murder of Thos.
Gallagher, who was shot dead last night
during the rioting at Luragan. Gallagher,
a well-known local simpleton, waved an
Orange sash in the face of a home-rule mob
during an incessant fire between that mob
and its Orange enemies. During the riot
the situation at one time became so des-
perate that Mathews, a local Orange lead-
er, declared that unless the authorities did
their duty he and a thousand armed Orange-
men would take charge of the town.
Mathews was on the point of carryine out
his threat when the military appeafed.
To-day there was a little stone thrown at
Lurgan, but otherwise the town has been
quiet. A number of police were so badly
injured last night that they are yet in the
hospital. Twenty rioters are now under ar-
rest. A coroner's jury found that Galla-
gher died from the effects of gun shot
wounds, and censured the authorities for
not having sufficient police to preserve
order.
rioting renewed.
The rioting was renewed here this even-
ing, and the riot act was again read. The
mob increased in size and oegan throwing
stones at the police. The latter fired, kill-
ing four persons, one of whom was a bar-
maid, who was looking out of a tavern
window during the fighting. The mob re-
turned the fire and a brisk fusilade was
kept up for twenty minutes. Soldiers
are now parading the streets
to assist the police in case
of necessity. The mob drove a force of 150
policemen into the barracks and then at-
tacked the buildings, firing revolvers and
throwing stones at the doors and windows.
The police fired, killing five persons. Sev-
eral protestant clergymen tried to disperse
the mob but their efforts were unavailing,
one of the persons killed was a widow with
two children.

Foreign Press Comment.
french editorial expression.
The French press are surprised and dis-
appointed at the defeat of the home-rule
bill. The Temps sayg: " It would be
strange if Gladstone's tomb should bear
the epitaph.' Here lies the man who mado
Ireland and unmade England.'" La France
predicts civil war, and says that instead of
Cromwell, Wolsely, the " social hero of
Tel-el-Kebir" will be the leader. The
Paris compares Gladstone with Gambetta,
and predicts the ultimate success of the
premier.
elsewhere on the continent.
The Neue Freie Press, of Vienna, thinks
Great Britain is on the threshold of a stormy
time.
The comments of the press of Rome on
division are extremely moderate. The
papers generally express the opinion that
the cause of home rule has received only a
temporary check.
The Berlin Tagblatt thinks that the com-
ing elections will place Gladstone in a more
unfavorable position.
The National Zeitung says the adverse
vote is directed against the principle equal-
ly with the details. Several of the leading
German papers make no comments on the
result of division. The general opinion,
however, is that the solution of the problem
is now rendered inevitable.

The races on Ascot Heath continued to-

The race for the Ascot Derby stakes, for

explanatory :
Lublin, June 9.—Patrick Ford, New York:
I received your remittance of £500 for the
relief of the distressed people of Ireland.
Will leave for the islands of the west coast
to-morrow to investigate the report upon
the present condition of the famine stricken
there. Orange ruffianism in the north
of Ireland is the work of landlords and
English tories. Don't encourage retalia-
tory violence. Patience was never more
needed than at this time. Victory is cer-
tain if the Irish race throughout the world
will stand united, and calmly persevere on
the present lines. Michael Davitt.
Death on the Bail.
Osage City, Kan., June 9.—A train on
the Ottawa, Osage City and Council Grove
railway was ditched this morning about 11
o'clock. Mr. L. L. Coppedge, chief engineer

and W. L. Spence, contractor, slightly hurt.
Western Union's [Quarterly Beport.
New York, June 9.—The quarterly report
of the Western Union Telegraph company
was issued to-day. It says; "The net
revenues of the quarter ending June 30 (in-
stant), based upon nearly completed re-
turns for April, partial returns for May, the
estimated business for June will be about
11,000,000; add the surplus April 1, $3,559,-
6«8 13, from which appropriating for inter-
est on bonded debts, $123,615; sinking
funds, $20,000; leaves a balance of $4,305,-
953 43. The falling off from the estimate in
the net results of the last quarter is due
principally to judgments against the West-
ern Union and Gold and Stock companies,
amounting, with interest and costs, to $193,-
933, for taxes levied by the state of New
York for 1881, which it was expected would
be refunded.
The entire surplus, together with the sum
represented by the last dividend in certifi-
cates of indebtedness gone into tho plant is
represented by the new property, may le-
gally and properly be represented by capi-
talization either "in stock or bonds, and
given to the stockholders. Hut under all
circumstances, at the present time, it is re-
commended that no dividend be declared.
Bent to the Penitentiary.
St. Louis, June 9.—H. D. Davis, master
workman of the Knights of Labor assem-
bly at Pacific, Mo., was sentenced to two
years in the state penitentiary and fined
.$500 in the Circuit Court of Franklin coun-
ty, at Union, Mo., to-day. He was a leader
in the late southwestern railroad strike.
He was arrested by Thos. Furlong,
chief oi the Gould system se-
cret service, for attempting to wreck the
first freight train which left St. Louis
during the strike and for shooting at the
goards. He was convicted and sentenced
on the former charge, and pleaded guilty to
the latter and was fined $500. The cases of
other strikers at that place will be taken up
to-morrow. His is the first felony oonvic-
tion growing out of the strike.
Amalgamated Association.
Pittsburgh, Pa., June 9.—The wage com-
mittee of the Amalgamated association and
the committee representing manufacturers
are in session to-day. The scale us sub-
mitted is the same which has been in opera-
tion during the past year, with some modi-
fications rendered necessary by changes in
the process of manufacture, nailers' scale
included. The general opinion is that the
manufacturers will agree to the scale as
submitted and that it will be signed to-day.
Later.—The conference between the two
committees came to a sudden termination
this afternoon, several important errors
having been discovered in the printed scale
submitted. Adjournment was ordered until
10.30 to-morrow morning.
Powderly Tried to Besign.
Philadelphia, June 9.—Frederick Tur-
ner, secretary of the Knights of Labor, said
to-day that on account of the pressure of
duties and unjust attacks made upoti Pow-
derly the latter offered his resignation in
earnest at Cleveland, and had laid down
the gavel. The general assembly would not
accept the resignation. Offers yrere made
to increase the general master workman's
salary from ,$1500 to $8000, or even $5000.
After much persuasion, Powderly was in-
duced to withdraw his resignation, but
would not accept the increase.
International Typographical Union.
Pittsburgh, June 9.—The morning ses-
sion of the International Typographical
union was occupied in receiving resolutions
and memorials, many of which opposed
consolidation with the Knights of Labor.

the defeat of any movement looking toward
consolidation. _

variable winds. For Texas, slightly warm-
er, fair weather, variable winds, generally

Mexican Items.
The City of Mexico Two liepublics says:
Sunday appears to have been a day
marked on the calendar in red. One hun-
dred men and thirty women were arrested
— a state of affairs fairly unprecedented in
the city's criminal record. The station-
house of the police precinct No. 3 was over-
run with low-grade humanity, in such gen-
eral bodily demoralization that the dress-
ing of their wounds exhausted an ample
supply of sticking plaster, and the parties
in charge had to make a requisition upon
the drug stores.
The president of Mexico has sent to Gua-
dalajara the civil engineer Mariano I3ar-
cena. His mission is the compilation of
statistics touching the various climatic di-
visions of Mexico, their characteristic
vegetation and agricultural exports. This
information is to be embodied in a volume
which the department of public intends to
publish.
A school for the prisoners has been es-
tablished in the jail at Jonacatepec, Mo-
relos.
It now appears that the peddler found
dead on the road from Sayula to Acayucan,
was killed by a tiger.
A light earthquake shock was felt at Vera
Cruz, on Friday last, at 2 p. m. The oscil-
lations extended from northwest to south-
east, an 3 lasted about one second. No harm
was done.
The Diario Oficial publishes a contract
entered into between the department of
public works and Messrs. E. Schnetz & Co.,
regarding the purchase and colonization of
the government lands in Chichuahua. Ac-
cording to this contract Schnetz & Co. have
to pay for this land at the rate of 70 cents
per hectare (a trifle less than two and a
half acres)inbonds of the Mexican national
debt. The purchasers are required to place
on this land during the next twelve years
colonists, who must be mostly of Mexican
or European antecedents, at the rate of at
least one family for every 2500 hectares,
and not less than 100 families during the
first two years. In case Schnetz & Co. fail
to settle colonists in the number agreed
upon, they will be fined at the rate of $100
for every family missing of the total num-
ber required.
In various parts of the republic a move-
ment is on foot to enforce upon the men of
the lower orders the wearing of trousers in-
stead of the insufficient drawers.
LETTEB FBOM ELLIS COUNTY.
Midlothian on a Boom—The Political Situation
—Judge Cook's Growing Strength.
To the News.
Midlothian, Tex., June 7,188G.—The po-
litical situation in this immediate section
is creating some excitement at present.
Terrell is leading for senator, though Judge
Hancock has many admirers. Wellborn is
very popular, and will no doubt sweep the
county. Judge Cook, of Houston, by his in-
vincible courage and logical utterances,
has woven himself into the affections of the
people, and should he announce himself a
candidate for governor, Ellis would rally
to his support. The News, of this place,
though a Ross paper, speaks in glowing
terms of the judge's fitness for the first
place within the gift of the people. Colonel
W. M. Campbell, of Beaumout, is rapidly
coming to the front for lieutenant-governor.
The county canvass is warming up, and
the number of aspirants are daily increas-
ing. The candidacy of C. N. Ousley, one of
Waxahachie's most popular and intelligent
young men, is received here with much
favor, and the probabilities are that he will
carry the county. The alliances in this part
of the county refuse to take any stock in
politics further than to vote for the best
men. They declare the old Democratic ship
good enough for them.
Mrs. Julia Limpke, of Galveston, is here,
visitiDg Mrs. F. H. Mardfeldt.
The Fort Worth and New Orleans is now
running trains to this place, and the town
is enjoying a genuine boom. A grand sale
of town lots will take place here early in
July. Harvesting is in full blast, and
wheat, in many places, is averag-
ing twenty bushels per acr<t The
oat crop, though short, is well headed, and
will make an average crop. Numerous
piospectors are on our streets daily and
real estate is rapidly changing hands.
Those who visit us declare Midlothian to be
the most pleasant town in the State. The
serenading musquito is unknown here and
the delightful nights can not be surpassed
by any location in the State. The famous
"springs" are tempting capitalists and
pleasure-seekers, and the beautiful groves
surrounding this Saratoga of Texas will
soon be ornamented with tasty cottages
and utilized as summer resorts. Colonel
D. C. Stltb, of the West Point Naval
academy, is summering here, and speaks of
our tewn as the Eldorado of Texas.
BOSS AND SWAIN.
The Beccnt Debate at Cameron Beviewoi—
Swain Makes a Poor Impression—The
Party Organs' Unreliability.
To The News.
Cameron, Tex., June 8, 1880.—Partisan
papers are a necessity. Independent pa-
pers aro a blessing. Your partisan journal
is always redhot. Generally they are
honest, but they are always prejudiced; and
the very fact that they are prejudiced pre-
vents them from doing exact justice toward
an opponent, while at the same time they
would—and perhaps honestly—resent as
on insult an imputation that they were not
treating everybody fairly. But so long as
there are parties there will lie party organs;
and as long as there are men making per-
sonal canvasses for nomination to high
offices there will be orgRns to glorify their
particular candidate and abuse and misre-
present those they oppose. Such papers,
while, as I said.are a necessity,do not fulfill
the highest offices of a great newspaper.
They do not and can not present both sides
and assist the average reader to form cor-
rect opinions of men and events. They
more often follow than form public opinion,
and far more frequently change their own
opinions than endeavor to make the public
think as they do. To form anything like a
correct opinion of men and events during a
heated canvass, one would have to read two
opposing papers and try to strike a balance.
Therefore, to the impartial reader who can
not afford to devote the greater part of his
time in balancing doubtful statements in
partisan papers, the truly independent pa-
per is a blessing. He knows that the edito-
rial page is not painted and biased by par-
tisan feeling or local prejudice. He does
not find malice peeping out from
every line. He Knows that the
news columns contain facts and tho
truth is not colored to suit an opinion. In
common with perhaps a majority of your
readers, I read The News because I be-
lieve it to be independent, honest and
strictly just. If a correspondent misstated
a fact to prove a point, no one would be so
quick to correct it as The News itself.
I have just been reading the Fort Worth
Gazette and Waco Examiner, and their re-
ports of tho Ross-Swain meeting in Cam-
eron have induced a disinterested listener to
the speeches on that occasion to say what
he thinks of the speeches, and the impres-
sion left on the people by the rival candi-
dates.
Swain is a man of fine appearance,
and his delivery is excellent. If his
matter was equal to his manner he
would be a great oratork From a
man who has been a practicing lawyer
for twenty years, and held, as he stated,
every office from justice of the peace to
comptroller, you would naturally expect at
least a clear, concise and connected speech,
if not an eloquent one; but you will be dis-
appointed. In his address Here it took him
five minutes to express an idea that ten
words would have more fitly and intelli-
gently conveyed. He would begin a sen-
tence and ere he finished it, would think of
something else, take that up and leave the
orignul sentence unfinished. He would give
a long array of figures and make no clear
application of them to the point in hand.
He talked a great deal about the land
board, and the only intelligible fact he im-
parted to the audience was that he did not
always agree with the majority. The land
question occupied nearly an hour of his
time, and during that hour, while he told of
the outrages of the cattlemen, and how they
beat the land board, and how the little men
suffered at the hands of the big men, he for-
mulated no clear plan to remedy the evils
that The News has so often pointed out.
He made some buncombe remarks about the
land being for the homes of the poor, as
though the school lands were held by the
State in trust for its paupers instead of for
the benefit of the common schools. He also
stated that all through his interview he had
limited the amount to be sold to actual set-
tlers to 160 or 640 acres, and yet when the
interview was handed him not a word could
be found so limiting the amount.
His remarks concerning manufactories in
this Slate were of a most bewildering na-
ture. I have not yet found a man who could
tell what he meant. He offered nothing
looking to the solution of the freight and
labor question. He would establish a com-
mission and turn the matter over to them.
He stated that he was in favor of erecting
five penitentiaries, but thought the popula-
tion of western Texas was not yet sufficient
to justify the erection of them at once.
What the population of western Texas had
to do with the erection of walls to contain
the convicts he left for the audience to
solve. He showed where the cash balance
had gone, but he made no suggestion as to
how another might be put in the treasury.
I can find 1000 men in Milam county who
can tell of tne things that ought to be done.
But it does seem to me that a prominent
candidate for governor should be prepared
to tell us how to do these things. They
should present their plan for
remedying the evils we all know
to exist. They should have opinions and
freely state them. I would rather put a
man in office directly opposed to me than
to put one there who had no settled con-
victions. Colonel Swain left the impression
on my mind, as he did on hundreds of
others, that his platform was: "I want to
be governor," and every principle was sub-
sidiary to this, and as to what he would do
when he was governor was a matter for fu-
ture consideration. 1 have written so much
concerning Colonel Swain that I can ven-
ture only a few remarks about General
Boss. Like Colonel Swain, he failed in
several particulars to make his position
plain, and he entirely omitted several
points on which we would have liked to hear
him express himself. His speech was inter-
spersed with anecdotes that generally illus-
trated some point in Colonel Swain's career.
As I said of Swain so 1 say of Ross. He is
certainly no orator, but he is evidently a
good judge of human nature and knows
how to please a crowd. He is a good
speaker in this, that his ideas are clearly
expressed, his plans concisely stated, and
through his speech the line of thought is
closely enough connected to make a sym-
metrical whole.
An " out" generally has the advantage of
the " in," and the advantage in this casa
was of course with Ross. His arraignment
of the land board and capitol board, while
it sounded like a resume from The News,
was pointed and just. Upon all the matters
which he touched—penitentiary, public
lands, labor troubles, etc.~he clearly
stated what he would try to do,
and left the audidence to judge
of the worth of his suggestions.
In conclusion, I would say that, while
neither candidate fulfilled the measure of
public expectation, lloss left a much better
impression than Swain, and from what I
have heard since the speaking, I am sure
that at the present time Ross is much the
stronger of the two men in this county. I
think we have heard the last of the joint
canvass. Swain's managers are too shrewd
to allow him To place himself at a disadvan-
tage; and from what I can learn Ross's
bureau would rather give as; little promi-
nence as possible to Swain's candidacy.
While Ross will probably secure this
county, most of us here—except the particu-
lar friends of the respective candidates-
are firmly convinced that neither Ross nor
Swain will be nominated. So much bitter-
ness will be engendered that neither can
be possibly nominated, and then the old
alcalde "will bob up serenely" and be the
next governor of Texas. And who will be
sorry? Not I. Mokanna.
