TIE JAPAN INDEMNITY.
Both the House Foreign Affairs and the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committees appear to
have agreed on the bill to release Japan from
the payment Of the 1876, 900 indemnity, accruing
from the Convention Of 1867, at Yokohama,
wherein the Japanese Government was the par
ty of the one part and the Governments Of
the United States, and Great Britain, France,
and Holland were the other. This money, it is
understood, has been subject to the draft Of the
Treasury Department for some time, but. there
being no equitable claim, its release is asked for
by our financial officials.

session, to-day, for the purpose of considering
ury to increase the commission for the negotia-
ton Of the balance of the loan authorized by
the funding act Of 1870. The disposi-
ton Of the majority Of the members is
unfavorable to the proposed increase, and it is
more than probable that no measure will be
reported unless it emanates from the minority,
which will look to this end. In case any such bill

EXCHANGING BONDS.

EXCHANGING D0ND3.
In his last annual report the Secretary Of the
Treasury recommended the passage Of an act
which should empower the Treasury Depart
ment to exchange coupons for registered bonds,
where the holders should require it, and 1T the
expense of the latter. a bill to this effect VAS
but it met with the objection that it contained
no limitation On the power Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury to increase the public debt
in making these transfers. Under this objec-
ton the BILL went over. Inasmuch d the Chair
man of the Finance Committee indicates his
willingness to have this suggestion incorporated
as an amendment, the bill will doubtless be
passed in this modified form.

Boston, Aug. 20 The shipments of Boots and Shoes
from this market to places outside Of New England
for the past week comprise 10 OS7 cases. against A 91

The shipments from Haverhill for the week COM
prise 1857 cases. against $3.50 for the same week

Remarks-There continues to be quite good de-
mxnd for the Southern markets, and quite q large
number Of small buyers have purchased direct from
manufacturers who have heretofore bought in other
markets. The Western shipments have fallen off
somewhat, but the stocks in jobbers' hands not
large, and they will undoubtedly be compelled to
der largely to supply their customers wants. Tho
Western buyers have purchased very cautiously, and
while it has not been so satisfactory to manufactur
it will prove in the end to been the wisest
policy. There is more activity in Lynn, and the
workmen have generally accepted the terms of man
ufacturers and returned to their work. In the other
shoe towns there is material change and the best
workmen find employment at fair prices.

The Belfast Riots.
A NUMBER OF RIOTERS ARRESTED,
The Disturbances Continue.

LONDON. Aug 21.-A dispatch from Belfast
last night says that the city is quieter, though
the rioting is not ended. The prisoners cap
tnred by the civic and military authorities were
conveyed to Jail under strong escort of troops.
There were no demonstrations toward a rescue.
The municipal buildings are strongly guarded
and the streets are patrolled by cavalry.
Dispatches from Lurgan says that the disor-
ders there have been suppressed, and the town
is quiet
A dispatch from Belfast this morning says
that during the rioting yesterday q policeman
named Moore was shot and killed. There were
a number of other casualties The mob, when
not engaged IN wrecking houses, assaulted in
dividuals. Many respectable persons were
shamefully treated, including Mr.. Benign, edi-
tor of the Northern Star, Catholic Journal.
All the schools and most of the mills are
closed. Mine magistrates are now on duty
Although the streets were patrolled last eve
ming by the military, crowds collected and ex-
element and rioting was continued. Thirty
rioters were arrested and lodged in prison. At
midnight the city was comparatively quiet,
though occasional shots were heard. 1t is re-
ported that several personal encounters be-
tween the rioters and special constables have
occurred.
BELFAST, Aug. PIP. M-The hopes of a
restoration of quiet which were excited yester-
day by rather more peaceful state of affairs
have not been realized. The condition of the
city as shown by the reports received at head
quarters was worse than ever last night. The
authorities are powsrless against the depreda-
tors, though supported by an armed force Of
fully 5000 men. School houses have been de-
stroyed and it is with the utmost difficulty that
some of the churches are preserved from shar-
ing their fate. Grave msmanagement on the
part of the authorities is suspected and the
general dissatisfaction is so great that the re-
spectacle citizens intend to form Vigilance
Committee for the arrest and summary pun
ishment of the offenders.
