New YORK, July TO-
The mir IL thick with rIlmOrs of in
pending trouble between the 0rangemel
and their hereditary foes, ON Wednesday
There was an excited meeting Of tht
Irish Confederation in Avenue B yester
day afternoon Resolutions depreCating
any attempt To obstruCt or prevent the
Orange procession were voted down. The
disposition ol the majority was in favor
Of violence.
Scenes OF violence are reported to have
occurred nj several places where meeting'
were held for the purpose Of organizing
against the Orangcmen, These disOrder
were caused by attempts Of some Il
counsel moderation, and only such action
as the law allowed. AT the meeting at
Hibernia Hall, O'DonOvan Rosa was as
saulted md hustled IRON the speakers
stand, while making an appeal for peace
and order.
The Orangemen are determined TO car.
ry out their programme for the Celebra'
tion Of their anniversary. They expect
TO be Joined In parade By about fifteen
hundred Of the Protestant Association,
and by about one thousand other sym.
pVthizers, so that they will have, alto.
gether, about five thousand in line. They
express calm determination TO parade
regardless of opposiIion-seeking no
quarrel, though prepared TO repel an at
tack. The Grand Master and other
prominent members of the society have
received many threatening letters, warR
ing them that IL they parade II will be al
the peril OF their lives. The Roman
Catholic Irish society, chiefly the Ancient
Order of llibernians Of this city and vici.

with the Police Commissioners yesterday,
and was closeted with Sup't KelsO for
several hours. 1t Is understood that they
had under consideration the subject Of the
Orangemen'S parade and the police ar.
rangements for that day, II IL clearly un.

their determination to parade on the 18th

be their duty TO give tho procesSionists all
the protection in their power. 1t Is feared
however the police forces are unavailable
for this service, totally inadequate to the
emergency. In addition to the police
several regiments of the National Guards
will be called out to preserve peace and
protect the procession, If attacked. The
general opinion ls that u few hot heads
will attempt TO precipitate the collision
during the day, but that the great body of
Irish Catholics of this city will lend pre-.
meditated aid to the riot, or cOunten-
Rnce is not Tor moment believed. II Ia
