treal.
Montreal, July IL Since 8 o'clocl
the city has been in q commotion, will
crowds Of people on the principal streets
and the military marching to the rem
devious on the Champ d'Mars. The first
blow struck in the impending conflict
was by one Of the mayors special con-
stables, who deliberately assaulted with
his baton band-man Of the Prince OF
Wales Rifles, named William Sharp,
at the corner of Jacques Carter's
square and Notre Dame street, without
any provocation, as the regiment was
proceeding to the point of rendezvous.
The special escaped arrest.
At 9 O'Clock the military force, con-
sisting of five infantry regiments, one
corps OF artillery and one troop Of cav
airy, were drawn up on the Champ
d'Mars, under Capt. Fletcher, waiting
the arrival of Gen. smythe. The
troops looked well, and the officer in
command expressed his fullest conf
dence in the men doing their duty
loyalty and well.
The police are collected at the City
Hall. where the special constables as
sembled with white ribbons as badges,
and clubs in their hands. They are q
despicable looking lot, and the police
sergeant says the majority of them are
jail birds. The utmost fear prevails
that they are dangerous gang, who
will commit excesses II they get a
chance. The police are in charge of
the mayor and the special constables
are under Deputy Chief Neigle. The
Orangemen are determined to walk and
are now mastering at Orange Hall, on
st. James street, which is decorated
with their party emblems. The pro-
cession will not be large, but their SYM
pathizers on the streets are many. II
conflict occurs, it is expected it will
be between Orange Hall and Victoria
square, where u dangerous element is
collecting en- masse.
The chief Of police, with sixty men,
searched the passengers on the steamer
from Quebec for arms, but found none.
There were about four or fve hundred
persons on board. A man named Bren-
nan, from Three Rivers, arrived at the
railway depot with q loaded seven
shooter on his person. He was locked
up. iQeri ~ ~ lshs ti ial'tt
1t is reported that quantity Of arms
concealed In house on Craig street,
where an Irish Catholic club meets,
have been discovered.
At $3.50 the military marched from
the Champ d'Mars to the various points
where they win be stationed during
the day. Some excitement was created
by an alarm Of fire, but it turned out
to be only chimney. The orangemen
are massing around their hall, and it
looks ~ III the procession would be
larger than anticipated. A detachment
of police are stationed around the en-
trance of the hail..
LATfR-H m.-The Orange
men are now comforting whether they
will carry out. procession, and a vote
will be taken without delay.
1I:3o a. sm.-The 1Orangemen have
just decided not to parade, and the
police will escort them to their homes.
b Montreal, 8 p m-All,is now quiet.
The police have partially cleared the
streets. A good many of the rowdy
element are appearing under the in
iuence of liquor, and as the day pro-
crosses there win be many more. The
Orangemen are still in their hall dis
cussing the proposition to have grand
procession on the sixteenth anniversary
Of Hackett's funeral. II this is de-
cided Che western Oransemen win be
invited.a ! 81 HsEsHfN
