Of the Assumption on HIbern-
lauS' Plea.

Belfast, Ireland, Aug. 16.--For the
first time in many years there were
no Catholic demonstrations here in
celebration of the Feast OF the AS

festo issued by officials of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians advising the
abandonment of meetings, SO as to
avert the possibilities of conflict with
the Orangemen. Normal conditions
have been restored in the Belfast
shipyards, where for several weeks
flights between Protestant and Cath
olic workmen were frequent.
