each other. During the fighting on
Sunday and Monday whenever pow
der ran short viragos on both sides
with fiat irons and other implements
ground large grains of large blasting
powder into a size suitable for the
smallarms, while boys of tender age
melted lead into bullets and slugs.
While the rioters were firing, the
youths and women stood behind
them busily loading spare guns, in
order to prevent waste of time.
The fusilade lasted until 8 o'clock
yesterday evening, when their am
munition gave out and tacit truce
ensued, both sides removing the
dead and wounded to their homes.
Both sides are doing their utmost to
hide their losses. On Monday the
Protesants received welcome dona-
tion-twenty.five rifles and much
ammunition from Ballymaccarrett
sympathizers, while the Ballynabinch
Nationalist sent the Catholics a
supply of ammunition and many re-
volvers of the type called "Sweet-
hearts,
The plentiness of weapons will
constitute the gravest danger in the
future. There is general demand
for house-to-house search for arms.
A visitor who has been studying
the cause of the riots writes: "It is
useless mincing matters. The police
have fired upon and slain the people
from a panic, if not from vindictive-
ness. The people have friends dead
or dying. 1t is worse than useless
to say that they want to only attack
the police. The latter now represent
the peoples deadly death-dealing
enemies. The friends and neighbors
of the killed and wounded all re-
gard the police as their foes. Their
bare presence is n terror to be re-
pulsed and excludes the idea of
wantonness. This is now a great
supreme difficulty"
Numerous complaints have been
made of the behavior of the police.
One citizen says that while going
home through qniet street he was
stopped by several constables, who
rudely searched him, ordered him to
give an account of himself, then
imperatively commanded him to go
home at once. Another writes that
three constables, who drifted into a
respectable tobacconist's shop, upon
seeing pouch engraved with the
likeness of Chamberlain for "going
against them;'' one of them, adj
dressing the lady behind the counter,
said: "You are afraid of ripperary
boys. 1 put six bullets into an
Orangeman last night and I'll give
them double tonight. If l had my
own way wouldn't leave one."
Maurice Healy, member of
Parliament for Cork City, has been
instructed on behalf of the widow
of Constable Gardiner, who was
killed during the Orange riots here,
to claim from the city an indemnity
of 500, 900 for his death.
The New York Herolds Belfast

Protestants are outstanding their re-
sources and their ammunition for

The Catholic leaders promise to us,

Rioting has been resumed in Bel
fast on the 18th. From midnight
until 4 o'clock next morning a rifle
fight was in progress on Shank Hill
and Old Falls road. One person
was killed and many were wounded
The town was seething. A despatch
from Belfast says: A sectarian strife

fight from the roof tops, chimney
stacks and street corners. Immense
crowds of partlsans who carefully
kept out of range were prepared t.
