 ST. JOHNS, N. F., Dec. 28.-A late even ing dispatch has just been received from Harbor Grace giving fuller particulars of the disastrous riot of last Wednesday. It states that as early in the week as Christmas eve preparations had been set on foot by the Ro- man Catholics to frustrate the intentions of the Orangemen to parade through the chief streets of the city. During Monday men could be seen with frowning faces and mak- ing threatening gestures standing in little knots at the corners of streets or in groups in public houses or walking the streets. lS was evident that storm was brewing. Noth- ing, however, occurred during the day more serious than drunken altercation or street fight. Toward night, when the mob was dis posed to become more brawling and demon strative the influence and authority of the magistrates, police and prominent citizens was found ample to induce the excited crowd to disperse. Monday night and Tuesday passed tranquilly. The Orangemen, how ever, had determined to exsrcise their right to march through the city with any badge or banner they chose and with any insignia they chose to parade. Tho Roman Catholics had sworn that if they marched through the ci as Orangemen and with Orange regalia should march through sea of their blood.
