opportunity that presented itself Her
husband was present and cmphaticaiiy
denied the allegations set forth by his
spouse. After brief consideration the

WHO Is TO BLAME?
INVESTIGATION DEMANDED INTO THE
RI0TING AT BELFAST.
Catholics Charged With Starting and Continuing th,
Disturbances The Catholics in Turn, Blame
the PrOtestantS-Ths --latest in English
Polites-Mr. Mathews WalkoVe.

BELFAST, August 1.-THE city was
comparatively quiet during the night, and
thus far to-day there has been no attempt
at renewing the rioting. John Mafonan
died in hospital here to-day from gun
shot wound received in the recent riots. 4
petition, which has received numerous
signatures, has been handed to the Mayor,
demanding the appointment of royal
commission to investigate and report
upon the causes of the disorders
which have occurred here since June.
HOW THE RIoTING COMMENCED.
A press representative, who has been in
yestigating the riots, their causes, results,
etc, called upon Rev. DR.. Kand, the Grand
Master of the Grand Orange Lodge of Bel
fast. He said: 81 see that Dayitt says
the riots are due entirely to the aggressions
of the Orangemen. This is an unqual-
flied lie, with not an atom of foundation.
attribute the riots solely to the unpro-
vOked attack upon the Presbyterian Sun
day school excursion a week ago last
Saturday, made by Catholics on
Carrick Hill, low quarter inhabited al
most wholly by National Leaguers. The
riots thus begun were maintained by re-
peated attacks upon Protestant girls going
to and from work, and also by the inta-
nous partisanship of the police, who attack
ProtcStantS whenever 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 feeling
runs 80 high and unrcstraincd as it does
among them. Why, only last Saturday
three of the villains entered the house OF a
member of my congregation without warn
ing, shut the door and shouted: We are
Tippcrary boys. We have come
To SHOOT YOU ORANGE BEGGARs,
and we'll shoot YOU like rats One adj
vancing toward the terrified inmates of the
house. and said II shot six Orangcmcn
last night, and mean to shoot twelve to-
night 4 disturbance outside attracted
the attention of the fellows and they with
drew without executing their threats, but
this sort of thing is q common occurrence.
The men have been identified and the au-
thorities notified of the outrage, but 1t is
not likely that anything will be done to
punish them. There are 5000 Catholics
on the police force, and only $500 Protest
ants, so you may see how little mercy
Orangemcn may expect from them as II
body.
Another fruitful source of disorder was
the election of Thomas Sexton, and the
riots may be- said to have been caused III
part BY that event. His apparent SucccSS
ut the polls-it is now known beyond the
possibility of doubt that this election was
illcgal-made the National party more
bumptuous and insolcnt than ever, and
tended greatly to sustain the excitement.
Still another cause may be found in the
agitation of autonomy for Ireland which
aroused great irritation among the Protcs-
tants. -

POLITICAL.
The Republican Congressional Executive
Committee Meets.

4 session of the Republican Congress
ional Executive Committee of the First
district was convened in this city, yester-
day afternoon, the place of meeting being
bers present were Hon. John A. Camphell,
Hancock county, DIR. Shriver, Brooke,
Hon. George b. Caldwell, Ohio, q. l..
Holiday, Marshall, T. 2. Jacobs, Wetzel,
J. Phillip Clifford, Harrison, and
one other committeeman whose name we
failed to ascertain. Mr.. Jacobs held n
proxy for Tyler county, and Mr.. c. b. Hart,
of the Mte'IigRcer, one for Doddridgc.
4 number of other we'll
known Republicans were present to con-
suit with the committeeman and aid them
in reaching satisfactory conclusion on
the matters coming up for discussion.
Among them were Capt. h. Il. Dow
ener, and Col. lockwood, of Marshall,
who was found wandering around on Mar
ket street in lost condition, and was
stcercd against the gl-mccting by an oblig-
ing REGISTER man.
Chairman Caldwell presided, and the
chief business before the committee was
the choosing of time and place for holding
the Congressional Convention. Two towns
presented their claims, they being New
Martinsyille and Weston. Quite a
long discussion cnsued, those
friendly to New Martnsville urging its
accessibility ~ a reason for going there, but
the friends of Weston prevailed, and
it was ordered that the Convention assemble
there nj noon on the lith of September.
People who driltcd out of the Club rooms
during the progress Of the meeting, i'll
tmatcd that the question of General Goff' :
candidacy was receiving some attention
from the peopleup stairs, and the inference
was drawn that there was to bc no let up
in the pressure Ia induce him Ia run, but
Us no one could be induced 10 make a frank
confession, the exact fact must bc here
omitted.
The Committee adjourned about half-past
three o'clock. and the members from other
counties ut once proceeded Ia get out al
town, declining, i'll route To the dcpOts, to
be- interviewed.

The ImpcriaI Federation Deputati0n Talks
to the Premier.
LONDON, August ll.-l.0rd Salisbury to-
day received deputatiOn representing the
Imperial Federation League. The deputa-
ton urged upon his Lordship the import
ance of arranging conference between the
Imperial and Colonial Governments on the
appointmcnt of royal commission TO
suggest means for concerted action III time
of war; also, To promote more direct IN
tercOursc between the commercial, postal
and telegraph system Ofthc Empire and III
other ways secure closer federation than
at present existed
Lord Salisbury, in replying 10 the slIg-
gcStOn of the representatives 0l the I'M
perial Federation League said that II
would be difficult to Ovcrrate the import
ance of the subject which he promised
should receive his careful consideration.
He declared that the suggestion which the
DELEGATION had made, that the Imperial
Government open negotiations with Ter
many for their evacuation OF the latter : re-
cent acquisitions in New Guinea, ana also
with France concerning the possession 0l
New Caledonia. was outside the pale oi
practical politics. He hoped that the colo
nists in case ofncceSsity, would be able to
contribute materially to the defense Of the
empire. Men in giving their lives and care
in the defense would draw more together
in bonds of union, which could result only
in benefit to all. In conclusion his Lord

MOUNTAIN LAKE.
The Lecture Course-The Campfire
Park Notes--Arriyals.

Spcc1dL IetegruH2 20 llS sunday ReqlsteT.
Mt. LAKE PARK, Md, Aug. H.
The lecture course here grows more and
more interesting every day. Last nights
lecture ION Eyes; or the Art of Seeing, -
by DR.. G. W. Miller, Of Brooklyn, was
one of great power, not what the subject
would imply, but rather of a metaphysi-
cal, argumentative character, and some
what over the heads of many in the
audience, yet the appropriate kind Of a
lecture for Sunday School assembly.
The camp iire-Or more appropriately
bon tire-which followed the lecture was u
grand success The impressive exercises
and singing by the Chautauquans fol-
lowed Immediately upon the lighting OF
the fire. Then speeches from
wheel-barrow as rOstrum
were in order, but ''the small boy" in his
collective capacity was too demOnstatiye
for speeches to be heard. Much fun was
produced by the corn roastinS-mOre fun
than fodder, rs the cooking was scarcely a
success.
The ''tOniest" affair from social stand
point that has occurred this summer was q
midnight watermelon party in the salon a
eaisiae of the Allegheny House last night,
in which several Wheeling people figured
prominently. The watermelon not being
a success for taking internally, it was de-
cided to administer externally. There
WAS no seed shooting nor nOthin'. Mrs.
e. Lamb, Mr.. Harry List and wife, Misses
Rachel and Lille, Miss May Forbes and
Major Lee, Of Wheeling, partoOk of the
feast, but of course, had no part IN the
extras.
This morning q large party, including
Prof Lines photography, "excurted'' west
some thirty miles on the b. x .. to Buck
horn Wall, to take in the fine scenery.
\ party is soon to take a tripto Aurora,

A CYCLONE OF FIRE.
FORESTS ARE STILL BURNING IN NORTH
ERN WISCONSIN AND WILL REMAIN
Ablale Until Rain Qasnchss fhsm-hor People
Thought 10 Have Been Burned fhsn Reported
The Terrible Fatality in Live Spck-Rvs
Hundred Families Rendered Homeless.

MILWAUKEE, WIS.,, August 1l.-lt is
thought the forests in the northern tier Of
counties in this State are still ablaze and
are likely to remain on fire until rains
quench the flames. The danger to the
villages and towns is over unless heavy
gales should sweep down upon them.
While not over dozen cases Of human
cremation are reported, it is believed that
many backwoodsmen and families re
mote from settlement cannot possibly
have escaped. The fatality to live stock
has been terrible. Hundreds Of charred
bodies of cattle lie on the blackened track
of the devastating cyclone of fire. II is
estimated that In Calumet, Clark, Mara
thon and a few adjacent counties, 500 fam
lilies are rendered homeless and destitute,
and will suffer unless immediate relief is
sent them. Many Of these people had mar
row escapes from death, having hidden in
wells or submerged themselves up TO their
'nccIs in streams with wet blankets cover
ing their heads until the fire passed. In
some places
THE FIRE swooPED DOWN
50 suddenly upon the people that they
barely had time to seek this method of
safety. In other places the roar OF the
flames was heard for miles, and the terror
stricken people fled madly before the
flames to ncighboring villages and towns.
The loss cannot even be- estimated. Hun
drcds of homes. dozens Of saw mills and
millions OF feet of timber are in ashes.
To-night's adviccs are that the fires are
abating considerably by running into
clcarings and because the wind has died
out However, fears are entertained Of
repetition should high winds prevail again
before rain appears. Along the valley
division of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
~. Paul railroad heavy rains to-day eh-
tinguishcd all the flames, saving the largest
Gran berry marshes in that section. To-
day the suiiocating clouds of smoke from
burning forests were borne by north winds
as far south ~ Milwaukee.
