leave Carlisle place. the starting point
Of the parade, by 10 o'clock. Other
small columns, composed Of country
Orange lodges, marched to the meeting
place without giving or receiving the
slightest provocation for row.
When the speeches began at Drum
beg Sir Edward Carson, who was the
fifth speaker Of the ten who addressed
the crowd, was received with wild en-
thusiasm as he stood with his hand on
an ancient leather bound Bible Of the
Belfast grand lodge, which was on a
velvet cushion before him. Crack,
crack, crack went pistol shots on all
sides. and it was several minutes be-
fore he could speak. Then followed
a speech which stirred the passions Of
his hearers to the depths, but the re-
turn Of the procession to Belfast and
through the streets Of the city. with
all the bands playing Orange airs and
amid cheers was perfectly orderly.
The Nationalist were equally order
ly. They obeyed the inJunctions ut
tered by the priests from the pulpits
and also by their leaders and remained
quietly in their own quarters. Volun-
teer officers, who were not distinguish
ed by any mark, patrolled the streets
carefully, and on the slightest sign OF
an inclination toward disorderliness Of
their own men they produced a badge
of their rank and became authoritative.
They sometimes co-operated with the
police, who, save for here and there,
were few and far between. There were
no armed patrols in the streets.
When the professions and bands had
passed 1t seemed as If Belfast was
filed with an extra large Sunday night
throng, SO quiet were the holiday max
ers In the streets. It was q triumph
Of discipline on both sides.
Quiet at Londonderry.
The celebration of the anniversary
of the battle Of the Boyne at London
derry passed of without any disturb
ances. The police kept order through
out the day and were ably assisted by
the Ulster and Nationalist volunteer
pickets, who had evidently received or
ders to do all in their power to prevent
the Catholics.
Five thousand Orangemen marched
out to Glen Dermott, two miles distant,
where the~exercises were held, and re-
manned there until about 8 o'clock in
the afternoon. On their return they
passed the Nationalist quarter, but
there was no fighting. Meanwhile
pickets of the Nationalist and Ulster
volunteers took care of any drunken
men they found on the streets. There
were more than 200 policemen on duty.
They stopped a motorcar which was
about to enter a Nationalist street be-
cause 1t was flying the union jack
The Nationalist volunteer pickets as
sisted the police in keeping any trouble
makers out of the Nationalist quarter.
A crowd of roughs awaited the re-
turn of the parade on Waterloo place,
where there was a fierce struggle on
Boyne day last year. The toughs were
looking for trouble, but the police, who
were again helped by the Nationalist
pickets. kept them back when they
made an attempt to break into the pro-
cession. A little later the crowd at
tempted to start a row by firing few
pistol shots in the air, but they were
again foiled by the constables.
The discipline by the volunteers Of
both sides was most excellent
The Nationalist volunteers of Lon
donderry added two automobile loads
of rifles to their armament A steam
ship coming from America landed the
rifles at the entrance Of Tough Swilly,
In spite of the precautions taken
against the landing of arms by the
stationing Of a flotilla of destroyers In
the Tough. The arms were brought
into the city in automobiles while the
police were occupied in protecting the
professions Of the Orangemen.
The report stage of the amending
bill to the home rule measure has been
finished. A few amendments were add
ed to the bill, but they did not include
those which Lord Lansdowne, the op-
position leader in the Lords, placed in
the category of those changes which
were vital to the measure.
The most interesting amendment
adopted was one providing that Irish
county court judges should be appoint
ed by the king.
Premier Asquith announced in the
house of commons that the present ses-
sion of parliament would be closed In
the course of the month Of August and
would reassemble for an early winter
session.
