BLOODSHED IX IRELAND.
The Orangemen Attack the Nav
. vies in Belfast.
The Outcome of the Home Itule Move
ment and Religion.
Belfast, June 4.- —The Orange workmen
employed at, the Queen’s Island Ship-Yards
here to-day attacked the navvies employed
by the Harts, or Commissioners, and after
overpowering them and beatingthem badly
drove them into the water. It was with the
greatest difficulty that the injured, ex
hausted and struggling navvies were res
cued The Orangen .a made the as
sault because the navvies, it is alleged,
had previously attacked some Loyalists fbr
aspersing the home rule movement. • In
tense excitement prevails among the local
Catholics in consequence of the attack.
The Orangemen numbered two thousand
and the navvies one hundred. A repeti
tion of the historical riots i 8 feared. Po
licemen, fully armed, are patrolling the
city, and the military are held in readiness
in the barracks. Thirty Catholics were in
jured, and twelve were taken to the hos
pitals. The body of James Curran, one of
the navvies, who was missing for a time,
has been recovered. He was the sole sup
port of his widowed mother.
YANKEE FISHERMEN,
Finding a British Cutter at Anchor With
out Steam, They Load Up in Full
View ant. Escape.
Bangor, Me., June 4. —The Canadian dur
ing cutter General Middleton sailed into
the harbor of Eastport the other day flying
all her colors, anchoring on the British side
of the cainpo bello, and closely watching
the Eastport boats. Mr. Young, a
prominent packer and boat-owner, went
on board and asked the commander if
Eastport’s boats were to be seized if they
went in the morning as usual for fish. The
reply was: “We are waiting for full in
structions from Ottawa. But,” he said,
looking sharply at Mr. Young and shaking
his head in a significant way, “you had
better not go on.” After consultation with
others it was decided if the weather was
good to attempt to get the usual supplv.
The next morning was clear, with
out a breath of wind. The British
cutter was close under the land and be
calmed. Ffteen boats started from East
port, going down five miles from Eastport
on the British side. They filled their boats
and returned. In the meantime the cutter
seeing the American game.attempted to get
under way. However, as she had no steam
up, and the tide was against her. it was im
possible to get out of the cove. Boats were
got out and preparations made for a
chase, but before this could be done the
Americans had rega:ned their own water,
and signaled to the siiure tuai they had flsh,
which, later on, they landed amid the noise
of a dozen steam whistles on factories,
greatly to the disgust and rage of the Can
adian commander. As soon as a breeze
sprang up the blue-nose privateer, as the
Eastporters called her, departed
yells and laughter of the jolly canners of
Bassamaquoady. The .Woodbury goes to
Portland for repairs to her boiler. Captain
Dean expects to see the American North
Atlantic squadron ordered soon to the fish
ing grounds.
An Ancient Claim.
Washington, June 4.—A very curious
claim has been received at the Treasury
Department in the shape of a certificated
indebtedness on the Government to John
Yesterday, of Philadelphia, dated Febru
ary 16, 1783, signed by Joseph Nourse, Reg
ister, and bearing interest at 6 per cent.,
from December 20, 1781. Although the cer
tificate is for only $17.50, the interest due
on it amounts to $110.25, making the amount
of the claim $127.75. First Comptroller
Durham is looking into the matter to see if
the claim is valid, so it maybe paid to Yes
terday’s heirs.

ning tendered his resignation, but at the
suggestion of the President, accepts a
leave of absence until October and goes to

How Long Will Congress Last?
Washington, June 4.—The long delay
caused by the oleomargarine bill, coupled
with the prospective of a discussiou over
the civil service clause of the sundry civil
appropriation bill, causes a good deal of
-apprehension among the people who were
calculating on a close of the session of
Congress by the middle of next mouth.
There are members who now think that
the session is going to run into August,
and some are predicting that the month
of September will find Congress still here.

THE PRESIDENT’S PRESENTS.
It Seems C. S. Statute Will Pre
vent Acceptance of Wedding Lilts
from Cabinet Officer*.
Washington, June 6.—An accurate list
of the presents sent to the President and
his bride on the occasion of their wedding
has not yet been obtained from the White
House, but it has been publicly announced
that members of the Cabinet and other
officials of the Government have been
among the donors. The President's well
known aversion to receiving gifts from
any source whatever Ims *been
illustrated in a number of instances.
This has given credence to the report that
he will, on his return to Washington, pri
vately request a withdrawal of some of
the articles sent hint, many . f which must
have been presented by persons' to whom
he cannot in justice to himself remain un
der the obligations an acceptance would
imply. There are some who go so far in
commenting upon this subject as to claim
that the presents from members of the
Cabinet were made in violation of Section
1(84 of the Revised (Statutes, which
reads in full as follows: “No officer,
clerk or employe in the U. !S. Govern
ment’s employe shall at any time solicit
contribution from other officers, clerks or
employe* in the Government service, for a
giftor present'for those in a superior official
position, nor shall any such officials or cleri
cal superiors receive any gift or present of
fered or presented to them as a contribu
tion from persons in Government employ
receiving a less salary than themselves.nor
shall any officer or clerk make any dona
tion as a (rift or present to any official su
perior. Every person who violates this
section shall be summarily discharged from
Government employ.”
AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE.
One Hundred and Seventeen Convicts Re
ceived Into the Catholic Church.
Joliet, 111., June 6.—The Joliet Peni
tentiary was the scene of a most interest
ing event this forenoon. It was the con
ferring of the rite of confirmation ou 117
convicts by Archbishop Feehan. of Chi
cago. The ceremonies were conducted in
the presence of a large number of out
siders and occurred in the prison chapel.
The chapel was nicely decorated with
flowers for the occasion, and each convict
was provided with a hunch of white
flowers to pin upon his breast. At nine
o’clock the Archbishop commenced the
confirmation, assisted by a number of
priests of Chicago, St. Louis and Joliet. As
the convicts advanced to the altar each
man handed the Archbishop a slip of paper
upon which was written the convict's name.
Pronouncing the name, the Archbishop
dipped his finger in a chalice of oil held by
an attendant, and making a cross on the
foreheads of the kneeling men said: “l
sign_ thee with the sign of the cross and
confirm thee with the chrism of salvation
in the name of the Father, and of the Son.
and of the Holy Ghost. " The ewti-rrr v
orchestra rendered some excellent music
suitable to the occasion. Among those
confirmed were some of the worst crim
inals in the West.
SCIENTIFIC SOCIALISTS.
An Organization for the Purpose of Arson,
Robbery, Murder, and the Over
throw of the Government.
Seattle, W. T., June 6. —The XL S. grand
jury here, finding indictments against
leaders of the anti-Chinese riots, make an
extraordinary report, declaring that there
exists throughout the country a treason
able organization known as the “Red
American International Workingmen’s As
sociation.” The main articles of its creed
are arson, robbery and murder. Its pur
pose is the overthrow of our Government
and the erection upon its ruins of a so
called Socialistic Commonwealth. The Pa
cific Coast is believed to possess peculiar
advantages for the inauguration of the
movement.
Duel from Wagons.
Oakland. 111., June 6. —Yesterday morn
ing at seven o’clock Ben Mason and Geo.
Scott met in the road one mile
north of Hynesboro and opened fire on each
other with revolvers. Both were in wagons.
Mason fired first, but missed. Scott fired
three times, and each shot hit. The first
penetrated Mason’s right arm, fracturing
it so that he dropped the revolver. The
second entered the right cheek and came
out of the left ear. The third entered the
stomach, ranging downward. Scott went to
Tuscola and gave himself up. Mason was
taken to e neighbor’s, Avben all the bullets
but the one in the stomach were probed out.
From the latter wound he will surely die.
Both men are prominent citizens of Douglas
County. Mason is worth $5,000. Some
time last fall they traded horses, in which
Mason claimed he was .cheated. Bad feel
ing ensued. Each had threatened the other
and the neighborhood, though excited, was
not surprised at the fatal end of the quarrel
yesterday.
Storms in Germany.
Berlin, June6.—Violent thunder-storms,
accompanied by the bursting of water
spouts, have for several days past pre
vailed in Central Germany and in the Hartz
Mountain territory in the northwestern
part of the Empire. Houses and railways
have been destroyed. Hail stones weigh
ing two ounces have fallen at Giessen. It
is estimated that the damage done by the
storms to the crops alone will exceed $250.-
000. A number of people have been killed
by the lightning and floods.
President and Bride at Church.
Deer Park. Mil, June 6. —The President
and his bride attended church in the
mountains to-day, and witnessed the bap
tizing of a baby. They attraoteti more at
tention than the sermon, which was es
pecially prepared for the occasion. The
President put a five-dollar hill into the col
lection basket. An ex-Congressman, a
Democrat, pronounced the benediction,
and prayed that Mr. Cleveland might be
continued as Chief Magistrate.
THE WHEAT CROP.
A Disastrous Drought in the West and
Northwest.
Chicago, June 6.—The following is a
summary of the crop report received by
the Fanner's Review. Spring wheat in
Dakota and Minnesota has been consider
ably impaired by the drought, while oats
and flax have l>eeu almost entirely de
stroyed. In Kansas the drouth and chinch
bug have eaus.d serious injury to wheat
and oats. In Nebraska and lowa there
will be the average yield of wheat, and
corn is looking well in liot.h States. The
outlook for winter wheat is good. Harvest
has already begun in Tennessee. Kentucky
and Missouri, and in Ohio and Indian-t
there will be an unusually large yield.
HOME RULE VOTE.
His Opponents Too Much for tho
Grand Old Man,
And His Flag (joes Down Under a Majority
of Thirty.
London, June 7.— The second reading ct
the Home Rule bill was defeated in the
House of Commons to-night amid a scene
of indescribable excitement and confus
ion, by a majority of thirty vo:es, namely,
341 to dll. After the announcement of the
vote Mr. Gladstone moved an adjourn
ment of the House until Thursday to
enable the Government to decide
on tbeii future course, and there
being no opposition the House ad
journed accordingly. Summonses have
been issued for a Cabinet council to-mor
row to make the preparations rendered
necessary by the defeat of the Government.
It is stated to-night in the lobby that Mr.
Gladstone rs against dissolving liefore the
autumn, notwithstanding the defeat he
has sustained, the state of supply being
far in art-ear and urgent, and that
the Queen approves this course. The
opponents of home rule, however, de
clare that Lord Salisbury and Lord Hart
ington are both prepared to accept the re
sponsibility of carrying on the Government.
There is strong feeling among Gladstone’s
principal supporters against a transfer of
Government until supply has been dis
posed of and the finances of the country
placed on a proper footing. Gossip
on dissolution, however, is necessarily
conjectural, as nothing can lie pos
itively known until the Cabinet have met
and determined the course to be followed.
The general opinion to-night is that at
least three general elections will have to
be held before Gladstone finds himself at
the head of a solid working majority, and
the country is now fairly in for ii long
term of excitement unparalleled in the
history of Great Britain since the time of
Cromwell.
EIGHT PERSONS SUFFOCATED

could and helped in caring for the suffo
cated victi s. He said a great delay wits
made in ending in the alarm, caused
by (he man who pulled the box not
understanding its • workings, and the
delay had much to do with the fatal
results. The origin of the fire was at
first a mystery, until a tub containing
clothes saturated with coal oil was
discovered in the basement. The articles
in the tub burned from the top and a strong
smell of the oil could Undetected on raising

A Success in Surgery.
Grand Raimds, Mk h., June 7.—About a
year ago" child was born to
Mrs. Zwiers. of this city. The child was
laekin* a roof to its mouth; there was no
floor tithe nasal passage, a protuberance
extendld from the nose, and in other ways
the child was so much of a monstrosity that
it was kept from the mother's sight for
several months. It was declared to be
a type of double hair-lip, such as has sel
dom been seen even by surgeons of
the widest experience. Each one
who saw the child declared that it would
be impossible for it to live, and, in fact,
that it had better die. A physician took
charge of the babe anil undertook to re
duce it to a human condition, with excel
lent results. AH the parts lacking have
been supplied, the protuberance has been
removed, and the babe to-day is a bright,
good-looking child. The operation is pro
nounced one of the most difficult and suc
cessful ever performed.
