Against the Masses" Passage Refuted.
DUBLIN, July 14.-During the rioting
at Belfast last night between Catholics
and Protestants, four taverns and num-
Der OF dwelling houses were wrecked.
The police and soldiers charged the rioters
several times and at last succeeded In
clearing the main streets. In the byways,
however, dangerous knots OF men are
lurking, and fears of a renewal of the dis
turbances are entertained. Among the
wounded last night was a sergeant. 1t is
thought that he cannot recover. A con-
stable and many civilians received severe
wounds.
This morning the head constable of
Waterford forced private soldier to at
tempt to arrest two Orangemen. father
and son. The latter shot and killed both
the constable and soldier. Tue situation

MR.. PARNELL's DENIALs.
LONDON, July lathe Times, COM
menting ON Mir. Parnelps denial of Lord
Hartington's assertion that the Nation
allsts are In league with the Fenians,
says: "Mr. ParnelPs denials are mere
waste of breath. 1t seems necessary to
remind him that while the Marquis of
Harrington is man OF unbIemisned
honor aud veracity, Mr.. Parnell quite
recently was convicted of having delibe-
rately and repeatedly affirmed that which
he knows to be false"
The Standard says: "Mr, Parnell car
ries his protestatiOn of innocence to abb
surd lengths. The question he ought to
have faced is whether or not he has
aVailed himself OF the services or moneys
OF extremists. To accept money from
Fenians and then to disOwn them Is not
course OF conduct which commendS itself
to Englishmen."
The result of the elections is restoring
commercial confidence in Dublin. The
markets are buoyant. The banks of Ire
land and Irish railway shares are advanc-
ing.

MASSES AND CLASSES.
The Duke of Westminster has replied
to Mr.. Gladstone's attack upon him for
giving the use of his carriages on election
day to carry voters to the polls in Chester
in the interest of Il. A. Yerburgh, Tory,
against B. W. Foster, NJ. D., the Glad
stonian candidate for reelection. Mr..
Gladstone, in his letter to Mr..
Foster, characterized the Dukes conduct
as an act OF 1.-The classes against the
| masses" The Duke says; "My action at
Chester was simply an expression OF my
former opinions, and consisted simply Of
the loan of some carriages. Mr.. Foster
did not gcruple to ask for loan of them
at the last election when he was the
Liberal candidate. The mass of the work
ing classes have rejected your policy. |
cannot see, therefore, how nv action can
be described as blow at either the aris-
tocracy or working classes"
Eight thousand Orangemen OF Sydney,
n. 5. W., have cabled to England set of
resolutions denouncing the proposal to
grant home rule to Ireland.
GIVEN IN THEIR ADHERENCE.
The Duke OF Argyle and Mr.. Goschen
have given their adherence to Salisbury's
programme, aud are willing to enter his
Cabinet provided the moderate Liberals
u
HartingtOD's hesitancy to accept Office in
the Conservative Cabinet is due to the
fact that he will risk his political future
if he joins Salisbury and be eXcommuni-
Gated by the Liberals, as he can never
thereafter succeed Gladstone to the
Liberal leadership, while, by remaining
independent, he can resume his place in
the Liberal ranks when the Irish question
Is settled.

BEECHER INTERVIEWED.
LONDON, July ID, 2 A. M.-The Daily
News this morning prints an interview
with Henry Ward Beecher in which he
remarked upon the quiet and orderly
character of English elections as COM
pared with elections in America. Re-
garding the political battle, he said that
Americans were profoundly interested in
the British leaders, holding them in a sort
OF ideal reverence. With respect to his
presence amid the strife he said that
his finding Gladstone and Bright print
ing gletters at each other produced strange
jlluSlOu Il YIN hu n lCdh pOtHLY nc
said ''the question al issue is as simple as
A, b, G., but when we come here we find
details rather than principles separating
great leaders. While in toe 6rst instance
our whole thought goes with Gladstone,
yet when we read the arguments OF other
men we admit our inability to meet them.
Then we are puzzled, but on details, not
on the general scheme at ALL" ReVerting
To the elections he admitted that the En-
glish laws were much more rigorous than
American.
