THE BELFAST RIOTS.
Depredations of Thieves and Roughs--A Little
Girl Murdered by a Cowardly Wretch.

Depredations of Thieves and Roughs--A Little
Girl Murdered by Cowardly Wretch.
BELFAST Aug. 29-Belfast has had two weeks
of perfect freedom from riotng but during this
period the inhabitants of the disturbed districts
suffered necessarily from the assaults and petty
thieving of bands of roughs. This has been es
pecially so in the Shank Hill district, where the
absence of the police left the shopkeeper at the
mercy of any idler who happened to want glass
of whisky or q half-crown contribution toward
the burial of some purely imaginary corpse. The
authorities refused to replace the police until
some guarantee was given that peaceable resi-
dents would no longer shelter the roughs, but
aid the police to arrest all disorderly persons.
Forced loans and other inconvenient results of
mob rule had become so unbearable this week
that to-day the Orange leaders and the Shank
Hill shopkeepers met Mayor Harland and
the police officers to discuss plans by which the
police should resume duty on Shank Hill, with
the promise of the aid Of all respectable people
toward the suppression of petty crimes. Several
grocers, ETC.. said that crowds of young roughs
made their trade almost impossible by demands
for money and goods and attacks on all exposed
articles If demonstrated with for malicious in
jury, the only answer was an assault by all
hands on the dealer. After four hours dis
cussion the meeting adjourned without arriving
at a modus vivendi. as is alleged. because the
Mayor refused to replace the police unless the
leading inhabitants agreed to assume all RESPONSE
bility for incidents resulting from police at
tempts to maintain the peace. This is now re-
fused, but certainly Shank Hill is SO overrun
with roughs gathered from all parts of the city
that the residents must soon form the desired
vigilance committee to help the police subdue
the young hoodlums, who have lived on rioting
so long that they are anxious to continue this
idle life.
A prominent magistrate tells me he fears that
Americans are forming an incorrect idea Of the
| Belfast authorities. He says:
THE coroners' juries blame the law officers Of
the city for every death resulting from the riots
This is unfair. For instance, we are blamed for
the death of little girl shot recently. The fact
| is the child was shot by an internal scoundrel
who fired his revolver blindly up street when
no one was looking and then ran away. the bul.

for the rufian at once, but he was doubtless hid
den by some thoroughly respectable family, and
| he escaped. The police are not to blame. We
cannot possibly watch every door and every roof
in the city to prevent cowardly roughs Of either

Black King Samory's Son-The Curiosity of
the Day in Paris.
Paris Special to London Daily Telegraph.
Black Prince Diaoule Karamoko has arrived at
the Grand Hotel. He is the son of the renowned
Ethiopian potentate Samory, King of Wassulu,
in the Upper Niger, who rendered his submis-
sion to Colonel Frey, commander of Upper SEN
egal, after stubborn and prolonged resistance.
Owing to this submission, French delegation
was sent to Samory about three months ago for
the purpose of arranging the basis of treaty of
peace, and the heir apparent was dispatched TO
Paris to see the President of the Republic. The
Prince arrived yesterday at Bordeaux where he
was met by the president of the Gironde, the
Deputy Mayor, and some members of the
Municipal Council. Accompanied by a
French officer from Senegal and his suite. the
Prince visited the Museum of Painting, where
he showed most interest in the battle pieces.
He was loudly applauded by the crowds in the
streets rs he left the building. The Prince is
about twenty years old, of middle height is well
proportioned, and very intelligent. He is
dressed after the fashion of his tribe. wearing
Ions blouse, richly ornamented flowing trousers,
and kind Of silver casaue on his head In his
grdle he carries silver hatchet, the sign of his
rank. Although young he was one of the
brayest of his fathers warriors, and has distin-
gushed himself in several encounters The Off
GERS who came over with him from Senegal have
many stories to tell of his wonder and amaze

embarkation to that of his arrival In his hotel at

The Mexican press noted the arrival of
Mr.. Sedewick as special envoy of the United

Sedgwick had unlimited credit at banking

Mr.. Sedgwick the attention Of some Of Mexicos

the Jockey Clab. Mr.. Sedgwick went there in

Sedgwick was in clover. He soon became hilari-

The Two-Cent Letter Postage Causes FALL
ing OFF in the Sale of Postal Cards.
Speciai to the Indianapolis Journaa.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The report of the
Postmaster general for the last fiscal year, which
is now being prepared at the department, shows
some interesting figures in relation to the postal
service. One curious feature shown BY this re-
port IS the point at which the ordinary American
draws the line Of economy From the time the
postal-cards were first introduced into this coun-
try until the rate of letter postage was reduced
to two cents per ounce. there was steady and
constant increase in the sales Of postal-cards
This change in the law went into effect on the
lst of October 1883. and for the preceding twelve
months the department. had disposed of some
thing like 3S5, 900 postaIcards. Thus in ten
years the annual consumption in postal-cards
had increased from a few millions up
in the value of postage-stamps sold is in the
neighborhood of Is to Is per cent per annum.
and the sales of postalcards should, in the ordi-
nary nature of things, increase in about the
same ratio, but since 1883 there has been no iu-
crease to speak of. During the last year there
has been decided falling off. This is due to
the fact that people have, since the reduction Of
letter postage, gone back to sealed correspond
ence as the margin between one and two cents
is not sufficient to induce them to use the postal
card to so great an extent as formerly. Officials
Of the department believe that the high-water
mark in the use OF postal cards has been reached,
and that that once favorite method Of commuui-
cation is destined to become less and less popular
each year, and that the postal-card will
finally remain in use principally as
an advertising medium through the
mails. Notwithstanding the inroad into
the revenues OF the department which have
been made through congressional action ca ch
year, the receipts for the fiscal year ending 1885
will show net increase over the receipts for the
year ending 1884 Of about one million and half
dollars. The reduction Of the postage on news
papsrs from two cents to one cent per pound
caused falling off in the revenues last year az
about one million one hundred thousand dollars.
This shows that upwards of million pounds Of
newspapers were deposited in the mails by pub
fishers alone, besides the tons which were sent
out in wrappers by private individuals, to which
postage stamps were affixed The department. is
just recovering from the effects of the reduction
of letter postage, and If there shall be no
further cutting down in rates it will not be fvs
years before this important branch of the gov
ernment is again sef-sustaining.
