ORANGE RUFFIANlSM.
The Belfast Mob aud Its Cowardly
Work

DUBLIN, July 15.-tNew York Herald
Cable-Spccial to the BEE. 1T is almost
universally believed that the Belfast riots
were not without purpose Lord Randolph
Churchill, in rousing orangemen, taught
how to utilize disturbances for furtherDg his
political designs. The shertfs in the north
ern counties carefully arrange that the elec-
tlons in constituencies considered doubtful,
should take place during the July anniversa-
ries and respectable persons, noble lords
who pull the wires that move the Orange mob
to violence, fulfill their functions in accord
ance with the programme. You have doubt
less given some occurrences in Belfast.
Summed up they may be stated thus: There
is no doubt that the Orangemen
WE'RE THE AGGEESsoRs.
They attacked q party of Catholic work
men, marched to the drum upon Catholic
houses, and then the rioters moved to fresh
fcats. BY this time the Catholics had assem-
blcd, and after desperate encounter the
Orange wreckers were repulsed. Repeated
attempts were made by parties to force an en-
trance into the Catholics quarters, but every
avenue was guarded and the assailants were
again driven back. The Catholics remained
on the defensive, and when the police APP
peared on the scene they left the guardians

WITH RECKLESS RUFFIANISM,
the Orangemen assailed the police, attacking
them on all sides and freely using firearms.
The constabulary in self-detence were forced
to return the fire. Finally the military were
called out, but though the nfuriated mob
were charged again and again with bayonet,
it could not be dispersed. Cavalry charges
produced no better effect and all the while
the exchange of shots between the rioters and
the police continued. Among those struck
by the bullets of the Orangemen we heard OF
Constable Gardiner, of Cappoquin, and pri-
vate of the West Surrey regiment The
Freeman's Journal, commenting to-day, says:
Apart from their graver aspect, these riots
forcibly teach the lesson that the Orangemen
BY their conduct have given fresh
PROOF OF THEIR INFERIoRITY
to the people of the rest of Ireland. The ma
tionalists bear their victories as they bear
their defeats, with equanimnity. The Or
angemen can endure neither one nor the 9TH
er like rational creatures. 1t also invites at
tenton to the striking feature of the elections
which tell rs strongly in favor of Gladstone
as it does against the unionlsts. Not single
minister has fallen in the election. Glad
stone himself comes back from the country
the only British member enjoying double
return to meet his cabinet intact

LONDON, July 15.-The total vote thus far
is: Conservatives 1,455,9jS, Gladstonian

Copies of telegram from Sexton adj
dressed to the nationalists of Belfast has
been placarled throughout that city. In it
Sexton says the nationalists have hitherto
earned the gratitude of the country by their
admirable sell-control despite their repeated,
deliberate proyocations, and he implores
them to continue in their wise course, re-
main much as possible within doors, es-
pecialIy at night fall.
Lord Salisbury offered the liberal unionsts
four seats in the cabinet and the usual ratio
of lesser Offices. He will permit Lord Hart
ipgton to be leader III the house of commons
and select what Office he chooses except
premier Lord Salisbury proposes to again
unite premiership with the office of foreign
secretary. The conservative newspapers
predict the first fight will arise over the OBJ
structive tactics by the Gladstonian and Par
nellites. If Lord Salisbury proposes coercion
every means will be resorted to to protect the
opposition. Gladstone has postponed the
meeting of the cabinet until Tuesday to en-
able the ministers to be present.

A County Seat Contest-After an Es-
caned Prisonec.

NORFOLK, Neb., July 15.-TSpeclal to the
BEE. "A county seat contest has been in
augurated in Madison county, and Norfolk is
in the field to capture the county capital if
possible. Yesterday a petition signed by
more than three-fitths of the voters of the
county at the last election was presented to
the board of commissioners, who granted the
request and fixed upon August 13 as the date
of the election. The contest has been i'm
pending for several years, and action was
fastened by an effort on the part of Madison
to call an election In the precinct in which
that town is located to vote 1000 to build a
court house. This stirred up the people of
this city, and in two days time they secured
enough signers to the petition to call an elec-
tion, and they are quite hopeful of success
The county seat was voted away from Nor
folk in 1915 through the Inference of the
citizens OF the struggling little village of that
date, and now they will make lively effort
to relocate 1t here.
Ed Stages, of Pierce, whe escaped from the
deputy sheriff OF that place Sunday night
has not yet been recaptured. He had just
been released on bond for forging q deed,
when he was arrested for the alleged murder
OF his business partner, Lord Campbell, last
October. His shooting at that time by Stages
was supposed to have been from the acclden-
tai discharge OF gun.
The hot weather culm mated here Tuesday
by the mercury reaching l099 IN the shade,
but it has been delightfully."- cool since that
time, with very slight sprinkle of rain. The
spOrtsmen of north Nebraska will have a
tournament here next Tuesday and Wednes-
day, 20 and 81. The reunion committee is
making preparations for big crowd of old
soldiers at the north Nebraska reunion, TO be

PENDER's CABLE SCHEME.
Truth Denounces it and Gives Many
Good Reasons.

tCopWigtedI
LONDON, July b. New York Herald
Cable-Special to the BEE. The following
appears in the current number of Truth:
''At the Indian and Colonial exhibition Sir
jaime Anderson treated the audience to dis
serIation on telegraphic reform, the gst of
which was that the states and colonies of the
world should guarantee "A per cent dividend
Oh the present capital of the twenty-siX sub
marine cable companies. This is, in fact,
Pender's latest scheme as propounded by him
at the Berlin conference
The Truth, September ~, 1885: Sir James
Anderson gave the capital invested as E35.-
OOO0OO, the total revenue as f3,25O,O 900, and
the expenses as 81, l31 800, making net rev.
enue OF ~, H. 800, from which per cent on
the capital should be deducted for reserve and
renewals, leaving an income of 81, Az, 500.
The guaranteed interest at 4 per cent on the
capital would according to Pender's alterego,
be 81, 100000. The governments are then to
make reductions in the cable tariffs and the
taxpayer Is to pay the piper. The scheme is
very ingenious, but 1t is evidently connected
only in the interest OF semi-bankrupt cable
companies.
"The direct United States Cable company,
of which John Pender is chairman, paid 22i
per cent dividend for the year ending June
80, last, but the war of rates has only recently
taken effect and there can be no doubt that
with its continuance the dividend will be nil
and the reserve fund will have TO be consid-
erably trenched upon.
"The Anglo-American Telegraph COM
pany, which has Sir James Anderson on its
board, is in even a worst plight with its
strongly watered stock and defective cables.
can quite understand the desire of Mr.
Pender and his ring to foist their old cables
on the governments of the world at their own
mOnstrous valuation, and to obtain a guaran-
teed per cent dividend on the capital of the
Atlantic cable companies which is at the
war tariff, entirely unprotectiye But the
present is not the time for a gigantic tele-
graph jaggle, and Penders latest scheme
will remain a fond dream not likely to be re-
allied. Better Dy far and cheaper would it
be TO lay new cables at the present greatly
reduced price, and with al! the latest import.

OAKLAND, Neb., July b. Correspond

nNGLANp,s TRADE OUTLOOK.
Better Times Seem TO BE Slowly But
Surely Approaching.

lCopUighicd.l
LONDON, July l5 New York Herald
Cabe--Speclal TO the BEE.I-The British
trade returns for the past three months,
which nave been printed during the last
week, have encouraged many merchants TO
hope that prices have reached bed rock. Your
correspondent has heard several well-known
men express the opinion that revival of
trade may be expected.
TRADE REvIvISG.
Mr. 4. +. Bateman, secretary of the stats.
tical society, wcll-known authority on
economic matters, therefore was interviewed
by your correspondent. | found Mr.. Bate
man disincined to express any very decided
opinion, as his position in the board of trade
made il inadvisable. He said: There have
been other spurts of good times during the
present depression. 1t is true, however, that
the present spurt shows more favorable
signs than the past abortIve ones. The out.
look
IN THE wOOLEN TRADE
is greatly improved. In fact the price of the
raw material has increased so fast that there
Is prospect that manufacturers with con-
tracts may be caught. The export trade is,
especially to the United States. very encour-
aging.
IRON IN ALL ITS BRANCHES
shows signs of increased demand. Iron for
ship building may be instanced as especially
encouraging.
II do not regard the cotton trade as show
ing many symptoms of revival, though the
exports of cotton to India have increased
considerably. This is due partly to Indian
prosperity caused by the wheat trade. The
increased receipts by the great agricultural
railways may not be due to better agricultural
prospects.
MARKET GARDENING
has recently greatly increased along these
railways. This is the season for these gar
large cities. Perhaps last months increased
freight receipts were partly tn us caused
| see no reason to expect better times for the
farmers although sheep are selling now ff-
teen shillings higher. This seems to show
the ability of the farmers to hold sheep until
good prices are obtained, which implies an
improvement in their finances.
THE GREAT HOPE
for trade revival lies in the fact that the
depression has taught the manufacturers
how to economize until now they are able to
underseil German and other competitors.
POINTING TO PROSPERITY.
Although Mr. Bateman was unwilling to
express decided opinion 'on the prospects
of an immediate trade revival, your cores
podent Judged that he and others of the best
economic authorities think that many indi-
cations point to better times, although the
revival may be expected to be slow and II OF
by leaps or bounds.

PARIS, July 15.-The expulsion of the
Due d'Aumale was the cause of an exciting
scene in the senate today. Nj. Chesnelong
said the dukes letter to President Grevy in
no wise justified his expulsion. General
Boulanger, minister of war, replied that he
would not toerete the insolent letter of the
duke. An uproar ensued. Baron Lareinty
shouted that the expulsion of the duke was
an act of cowardce. General Boulanger de-
cared that he would not permit such an ex-
preston to be applied to the minister of war
Nj. Sarrion stated the Due d'Aumales letter
had been written with the consent of the
Comte de Paris, and that the whole affair was
a veritable plot. General Boulanger said he
would fulfill his duty as republican minis
ter NJ. Lareinty said he regretted that so
distinguished a soldier as General Boulanger
should insult any one absent. The order OF
the day was then passed, by a vote of 157 to

and expressing confidence in its vigilance.
