The Dread IntetnationaIe,

NEW YORK, June IA meeting OF the
Federal Council of the InternatiOnals was
held yesterday. 1t was announced that
the Chicago and Newark Councils would
adhere to the New York Federal Council
and reject the London Council. A resolu-
tion denouneing the London Council was
passed unanimously. A proposition was
made to adopt new flag ia place OF the
blood red flag.
A number Of ex-members Of the Paris
| Commune held a meeting Saturday night
to consider the proposition to make hos
| tile demonstration against M. DeNoailles,
| the French Minister, on his arrival here.
| Violent language was INDUCED in, but no
! decision arrived at.
Rev. rockingham yesterday in a sermon
vigorously opposed the cause Of the capital
| lists against the strikers who, be said, were
all Inte1nationalists at heart. He thought
the laboring men should follow the lead of
the lawyers, ianciers and others, who
labor until their work is done.
/ The Battle of the BOyne.
The action of the Police Commissioners
relative to the proposed Orangemen parade
on the 12th July, is awaited with great
curiosity. The request for permission and
escort in legal form will be served on tkem
! this week. 1t is believed the intention of
the police is to allow the parade and grant
an escort, though an officer high in author
itY, hints at a disinClination to extend the
| favor to the 0rangemen, and says the Com
missioners would practically forbids the
demonstration if they did not expect 8
similar demand from Irish voters on St.
Patrick's day. The Orangemen have not
yet determined to carry arms, and express
no desire for military escort, and declare
the police thoroughly able to afford all the
protection they need.
