THE BELFAST RIOTS.
Rev. DIR. Kane Gives His Views of the Re-
cent Disturbances


LONDON, Aug. IA cable news repre-
sentative investigating the Belfast riots.
their causes, results, etc, called upon Rev.
Or. Kane, the grand master OF the Grand
Orange lodge of Belfast Tuesday. He said;
u see that Dayitt says the riots are due en-
tirely to the aggressions of the Orangemen
That is an unqualified lie, with not an atom
Of foundation l attribute the riots solely
to the unprovoked attack upon the Presby-
terrain Sunday school exclusion week ago
last Saturday made by Catholics on Carick
BILL a low quarter inhabited almost wholly
by National leaguers The riots thus begun
were maintained by repeated attacks upon
Protestant girls going to and from work,
and also by the Infamous psrtisansnip of
the police who attack ProstestantS when
aver they get chance The police force of
Belfast being mainly composed of Catholics,
there is no body of men to be found in
which party feelings run so high or unre-
strained as it does among them.
why only last Saturday three of the
Williams entered the house OF member Of
my congregation without warning, shut
The door and shouted, we are Tipperary
boys. We have come to shoot you Orange
beggars, and Wen shoot you like rats. ,
One advanced toward the terrified inmates
Of the house and said; 4 shot six Orange
men last night, and | mean to shoot twelve
tonight A disturbance outside attracted
he attention OF the fellows and they with.
rev without executing their threats, but
his sort of thing is a common occurrence
The men have been identified and the
authorities notified of the outrage
out it is not likely that any
thing will be done to punish
them. There are 5000 Catholics on the
police force and only 3,5e1 Protestants, SO
you may see how little mercy Orangemen
Fan expect from them as a body.
Another fruitful scource of disorder was
the election of Thomas Sexton, and the
riots may be said to have been caused in
part by that event His apparent success
at the polls-it is now known beyond the
possibility of doubt that his election was
illegal-made the National party more
bumptious and insolent than ever, and
tended greatly to sustain the excitement
Still another cause may lie found in the
agitation of autonomy for Ireland. which
NJ used great irritation among the Prot
estauts

A WRITER in the Washington Hatchet
warns the public against speculation in
mining securities. To the average spec
ulatOr or dabbler in stocks this warning
will apply with very little force, for the
time has long since passed when induce
meuts of any kind have been held out
for this sort of speculation. 1t is well
known that most of these securities are
not worth the paper on which they are
written, and the beautifully Autographs
ed certificates" are simply valuable as
art chromos Dividend paying securi-
ties are strongly held and the stock OF
valuable mines is never to be found
floating about the market. When it
is found that the vein mas been
worked out then the insiders
begin to unload. gradually at first, and
then with a rush, as soon as the market
begins to break Sometimes it happens
that new strike is made, but the in
formation is first received by the insiders
as before, and then they 90 into the mar
ket and quietly buy up the stock sgain.
This game has been worked so many
times il the past that deal of any con
sequence at the present time is scarcely
possible. Those who have had their
fingers burned badly, not once or twice,
but many times, do not feel much of the
Old time enthusiasm when they hear of
