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.

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.

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 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.

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.
