The Belfast Business.

The city is quiet and the wounded are
improving. A petition, which has received
numerous signatures, has been handed to
the Mayor demanding the appointment of a
royal commission to investigate and report
upon the causes of the disorders which have
occurred since June.
The Government, without stopping to
ask who is to blame, has acted with energy
and decision. 1t has sent heavy shipments
of police and military. Belfast is garrison
ed by 5000 troops, who succeed, by inces-
SAINT vigilance, in preventing further out
breaks. Experts consider that the worst is
over, but agree that it will be long before
the troops can be Withdrawn.

It is pretty clear that no prosecution
against Sir Charles Dixie for perjury will
take place. Sir Charles has gone to Paris

experienced detective, who went down to
the Riverside retreat several times for a
secret conference with him. The Chelsea
Liberal Association passed, with only five
dissenting voices, a resolution thanking
Dixie for the distinguished ability, fidelity
and earnestness with which he has repre-
sented them for eighteen years; deploring
the circumstance which compels him to
withdraw from the representation of Chel-
sea, and recording its entire belief in his
innocence of the charges brought against
him

requirement of Erzeroum and other terri
tory in Asiatic Turkey beyond Batoum.

BRITISH POLITICS.
A Proposed Solution of tine Irish
Problem.

Lord Randolph Churchill is engaged in
drafting bill intended to solve the Irish
question. The skeleton of the measure is
already done and it provides for universal
local government throughout Great
Britain and Ireland, giving Ireland, Eng
land, Scotland and Wales control each of
its own immediate affairs, and leaving the
supreme power of the imperial Parliament
undiminished. The bill is described as a
measure which opens the door to an i'm
perial federation. The full text of the bill
will not be completed before next February,
but, so far as it has gone, it has been sub
mitted to the Marquis of Salisbury, the
Marquis of Harrington and others, and is
broad enough to satisfy all moderate Irish
men.

| topic of general discussion, enlivened by
some bitter grow,s from Tories whom Lord

bringing discredit and disgrace upon the
law. The Inspector General of the Irish
Constabulary has been ordered to proceed
to Belfast as promptly as possible. A large
meeting of the Magistracy was held, and it

charge of the town and assign troops and
police to various points.
SERIOUS RIoTING.
4 riot took place between the Orangemen
employed in the Queens Island shipyard

aarbor Commissioners. The fighting was
very severe for a time, and resembled in
character that which occurred between the
same elements on June 4th, when the
Orangemen, greatly outnumbering the nav
vies overpowered and beat them and drove
them into the water, where one was
drowned. A number of men on both sides
were so badly injured that they had to be
removed to the hospital.
FURTHER FIGHTING.
At night the conflicts were resumed. The
fighting was the most desperate that has
taken place during the recent troubles. The
mob was Infatuated, and fought with savage
energy. Fifty persons were injured, some
of them, it is thought, fatally. Terrible
struggles occurred on the Shank Hill road.
The police quartered in McKenna's tavern,
at the Old Lodge road, were attacked by
the mob with stones and revolvers, and
were compelled to fire from the windows of
the house. During this attack, eighteen
persons were injured, and were subsequent
ly taken to hospitals. A youth is dying
from his injuries. Two policemen were
badly wounded.

number of men will take part in the pre-
cession to the meeting. The procession
will pass along all the principal streets and
bOulevards, excepting those near the Kings
palace. Sir thousand soldiers have been
detailed to guard the route of the procession
from disorder. Six thousand other soldiers
will be stationed along the line of march.
