LONDON DAILY news, July I3.|
The anniversary OF the battle of Aughrim
was celebrated yesterday by the Orangemen
over the province Of Ulster, several of the
Down. notably at Lambeg, Banbridge War
ingstown, Donaghadee Ballygowan and
Downpatrick. The Belfast lodges proceeded
to Lambeg, where a demonstration was held
in the grounds of DR.. Richardson, Glenmore.
The procession was three miles long, and oc-
cupied nearly two hours in entering the
grounds in which from 10000 to $4,000 persons
were present. Lord Arthur Hill Trevor, NJ. P,
presided. A resolution of confidence in the gov
peaceably On the return Of the Orange pro-
cessionists from Lambeg some rioting occur
red in Belfast, where a contingent passing
over Queens bridge was attacked by mob
and two drums were broken. While detached
sections of Orangemen were proceeding
through Donegal street to their lodge rooms,
they were several times assailed by stone
throwing crowds, and had to defend them
selves with their javelins. The police charged
the mobs with batons, but the streets re-
manned in an excited state. During the pro-
was run over by car and killed, Much
anxiety was felt in Dublin as to the Orange
celebrations in the north of Ireland, and salts
faction was expressed during the afternoon
that they had passed Off without serious dis
t1lrbances. Some apprehension prevailed with
respect to the Lambeg demonstration, under
the presidenciIt,i,sf IT, Lord Arthur Hill Trevor,
M. P, but the reports Of the evening papers
declaring the peaceful issue OF the meeting
sgt the>public mind at rest. The promptltude
displayed in dispatching bodies OF the consta-
bulary force to the processionist districts is
considered to have been Of great value In pre-
serving general order.

The latest mail advices from Europe seem
to indicate that the Sultan Of Morocco is
dead. The Coyreo Militar, Of Madrid, pub
fishes letter confirming the reports OF Muley
Hassan's death, and adding that there are
several claimants to the throne, that the
country is in state OF anarchy, and That
great distress prevails. Possibly the contest
Is due to the failure of the late Sultan to
choose q successor among the members OF
his family, when the surviving eldest male
member Of the reigning family would acquire
the right to the crown, there being further
element of complication in the fact that the
late Sultan's prime minister was clever and
very ambitious man. who made q puppet OF
his master and perhaps covets his throne. At
the same time there is a little breeze over the
report that the German government has pur-
chased of Morocco the city, harbor and plain
of Adieroud, on the frontier Of the empire and
only separated from Frances Algerian pos
sessions by the little river KRIS. There is
room there for population OF fifty thousand
souls to support itself, and the place can be
strongly fortified. Spain, too, which has
been studying the coast of Morocco OF late, is
ant to be annoyed by this acquisition, being
Jealous of any interference with her influence
on the African side Of the straits OF Gibraltar,
and having been excited year ago when a
German embassy was sent to Muley Hassan
with, it was rumored, Instructions to buy OF
him q harbor for coaling station. Possibly
England also may in the words of the plat
form of the period "view with alarm and ap-
Drehension,' this last move OF Germany to-
ward making herself maratime Pc Wer OF

THE PLANS FOR THE COMPLETION OF
THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
washington Star.1

Washington Star.]
The preparation of a plan for the strength
ening of the foundation OF the Washington
monument is tedious work, and necessarily
requires considerable time Col. Casey and
his assistant Capt Davis, have proceeded so
far that, though they have not completed
their work, general idea Of the plan which
they will submit to the joint commission for
their approval can be given. Competent au-
thorities have given the opinion that the base
is not sufficiently strong for the monu-
ment to be completed to its PRO- Pro-
posed heig!ht-;five hundred r., fee It, me Inc
roborate this opinion. 1t is known that the
base is perfectly able to sustain the monu-
ment In it's present condition. The pressure
now upon the clay below is tive tons to the
square foot II without in any way fixing the
base the pile should be run up to five hun
dred feet, the pressure per square foot would
be about eight tons and g half. This it is I'M
able to stand. The plan is to SO strengthen
pressure shall remain as it now is-five tons
to the foot. In order to do this the base will
be extended laterally on either side q
distance to be determined by calculations not
yet completed. 1t is also proposed to extend
the base downward. This does not, however,
mean the undermining OF the whole monu-
ment and the downward extension OF the
whole base. 1t is intended to make such ex-
tension under the four sides near the edges,
and not under the whole base The depth OF
this extension has not yet been calculated
with exactness Concrete is to be used in car
rying out this part of the plan. Although the
officers are making such hasteas can be made
in work which requires SO much exactness,
it may be the last of August before work is
commenced. The foundation is Of Potomac
gneiss rock, eighty-one feet square, buried
eight feet below the surface. The height of
the present superstructure, which is tifty-tive
feet square, is 174 feet. The amount so far ex-
pended Is 1921 ,O0O and the amount apPro-
priated for its completion is S250,00O. The
monument will be finished in heavy blocks Of
crystal marble from Maryland laid in courses
of about two feet and backed to the required
thickness with gneies to make the inner sur
face vertical the outer face receding at a very
slight angle as it rises SO as to give the form
of an obelisk The interior OF the monument
will be provided with an iron stairway to
enable persons so desiring to make the
ascent. Col Casey estimates that the monll-
ment can be carried to the proposed height
