PRIESTS ON PATROL.
Prevent Further Rioting and Bloodshed
at Londonderry, Ireland.

LONDONDERRY, Ireland, April 90
Quiet prevailed here last night despite
the expectations that the rioting of Sat
urday and Sunday evening would be re-
newed. The prevalence of peaceful condi-
tions was brought about by an arrange
ment between the authorities and the
Roman Catholic priests by which the po-
flee were removed from the neighborhood
of the recent rioting. two priests taking
the places of the officers and remaining
on patrol all night. The clergy used
their influence with the people and urged
them to go home and to bed. The plan
worked admirably, the priests having the
streets virtually to themselves all night
