THE RACE ROW IN QUEBEC.


Especial Telegram to the Globe.
QUEBEC Aug. 1.-THE excitement in the
city is much more intense than yesterday, and
though no stand-up fight occurred yesterday,
the number of wounded falls not far short of
tho day before. Wherever either French or
Irish, in bands Of two or three together, found
a solitary opponent, they seemed to have taken
the opportunity of beating or stabbing him.
Besides others whose names cannot be ascer-
tanned, Ignace Tostiee has been stabbed, J,
almost to death. without provocation, and F.
Truedell Carter was dragged out of his vehicle
and shamefully maltreated. number of
French took possession of Durham Terrace, the
fashionable promenade of the city, this after
noon, and hurled large rocks upon the mob in
Champlain street, 240 feet below. The latter
ran up one hundred strong, and chased the
French with swords and pistols through the city
to Mount Calm ward; this evening the Eighth
battalion of Royal Rifles, preceded by its band.
marched through the principal streets of upper
town, the cavalry paraoed along st. James
road to VOLTS cave, but none Of the military
were ordered to Cham plain street for fear Of
irritating the residents and provoking dis
turbance. The weak and Facilitating policy of
the mayor is strongly condemened and
requisition is being signed, calling upon tho
mayor to resign. The French threaten now to
roll tar barrels down from the plains upon the
Irish houses below, and thus fire Champlain
street, unless their demands are complied with.
Nobody seems to know at all where the matter
will end, nor who may be next sent into eterni-
ty by neighbor speaking different language.
OF course many of the reports current here are
exaggerated, but the excitement is simply in
describable.
