primrose LeaGue-LOrd Salisbury Ad-
dresses the Assemblsgs.
BELFAST, June 1.-THE victims of the
recent riots were buried to-day. 1t was
feared the funerals would provoke fresh
disorders. The routes to the different
cemeteries are strongly lined with police
and soldiers. No violence or roting oc-
cured. The Orange lodges of Ulster have
been instructed to suspend drilling dur
Ing the excitement in Belfast.
The scenes attending the funeral were
very affecting. Women walled and men
sobbed. The crowds along the funeral
routes were the largest seen here in many
wears. The police and military stood in
pretty close file all the way with loaded
rifles. The public subscribed literally
TO defray the expenses Of the funerals.
The money raised already has proved suf-
fcient to buy the graves needed by each
bereaved family and leave a balance,
which viii be-divided among needy rela-
tiYes of the dead.
A number OF rioters have been sentenced
TO various terms of imprisonment.
Il is rumOred that the government in
tends 20 disarm the people Of Belfast.
Troops continue to arrive. Their presence
indicates that the authorities fear trouble
some times.
The coroner's jury, in the case of Mary
Reilly, one of the victims Of the recent
riots, to-day returned verdict of willful
murder against the police who fired into
the mob at Bowers Hill station.
PARLIANENT's DISSOLUTION.

Parliament will be dissolved on June24,
and the writs for the new election will be
issued on June %.
THE PRIMROSE LEAGUE.
There was an immense gathering of
members Of the Primrose League to-day
at Hatfield. the seat of Lord Salisbury.
Lord John Manners, RightHOn. William
Henry Marriott and Lord Salisbury adj
dressed the assemblage. a vote of conf
dence in Lord Salisbury was passed, to
which he responded. He said: ''We
are now called upon to fight for the
integrity OF the empire. The issue is not
merely to erect Legislature in
Dublin but something much stronger. 1t
Is handing over the executive of Ireland
to those who i'm sentiment are favorable
to the separation of that country from
England" Continuing, he said that the
present government sought 10 eHecL Ine
most tremendous change IN the eonstitu-
ton of the empire that was in the power
VI anyone to make.
THE END AIMED AT.
The government sought to transfer the
supreme power to those who would pre-
vent the action Of ordinary law and sub
stitute lynch law therefor. If the eXecu-
tive of Ireland was handed over to a
Dublin Parliament military government
would likewise soon be under its control.
The executive would be able to raise
troops as it did 100 years ago and those
troops would become the masters OF Ire
land. If difficulty should arise between
England and foreign powers the troops
thus raised might side with the enemy.
Only a few nights ago IN the House
OF Lords the Minister of the Crown
said large proportion OF the irish mated
the English. Was it not madness to eX-
pect that hatred to change in day, and
10 place in the hands of the Nationalists
the fate of the LoyaIsts in Ireland and the
safety of the empire? The speaker said
he believed Great Britain, by union Of
patriots, VINO, despite the claims OF party
allegiance, had combined to support in
terests which were superior to party In
terests, would return good answer TO
the question before the country. The
unity OF the patriots would preserve the
unity of the country.
The Liberal Council OF Rossendale, by
an enormous majority, passed resolutions
of confidence in Mr.. Gladstone and OPP
posing the candidature of the Marquis OF
harrington.
