SIXTEENTH YEAR.

The Belfast Sitnation. BrELrAer, August 13.—[New York Herald Cable-Special to the Bre)--With the excep- tion of the exeltement cansed by the tarring by some Orange Isiand men of a Catholic named Jolin Johnston, Belfast has been per- fectly quiet to-day. Johnston has a sister, Maria Johnston, who lives in New Orleans He works in Harland & Woltl's ship-buildin yard, During the breakfast hour this morning a pot of hot tar was emptied on his iead by & lot of Protestant ship enters. He was ot seriously burned, but made a sorry looking mortal with hair and beard covered with and his eyes full of tar, 1lis clothes were saturated with the stuff and stuck to his body, where they had not been loosened by the beating he had atterwards received. A PEACEFUL PROCESSION. It was expected that this outrage would 1to attacks on the island men as they re- turned from work this evening, but the mass of workinen passed safely through the Cath- olie neighborhood in spite of tneir irritating howls of “buckshot” at the police and their cheers 1o the troops and the magistrates, who are disliked by the Catholies on Bridgze and North streets, It scemed for a_moment as if the cheers for J. M. Haslett, the late Protestant member of parliament, who was defeated by Thomas Sexton, might bad the Catholies on to an at tack in spite of the police and troops, but the danger passed at the intersce- tion of Milfield street and Peter’s Hill. An attempt was made to arrest an island man who threw an iton bolt over the heads of a double cordon of police and troops. It eaused amonmentary scuffle and some excitement. The bolt struck a Catholic who was standing behind the police forcibly in the stomach, doubling him up for the moment, However, the thrower of the bolt was not recoznized. as his comrades closed around him and hurried him up eter's Hill into the Protestant quarters before the police could et to him, T TIROOPS SHOWED THEIR 8¥MPATHY with the Island men by refusing o p out therioter. Such remacks as “That’s a good throw” as the bolt whizzed over their heals showed that the sympathy between thie troops and the Protestants is now quite as marked as that between the police and the holies, AN EYE WITNESS INTERVIEWED, I talked to-day with J. J. Johnston, an in- surance agent, who was an eye witness of the brick tield hght between the Protestants and Catholies Sunday evening. Mr. Johnston hias, by the way, a brother named Alexander, who lives in New Jersey. Mr. Johuston’s story will serve, perhaps, to explain vartly the Orange hatred for the police, 1o said: “I saw a crowd of orange boys gather on the Shank L1ill road and Pierce strects. Some Catholics had also gathered at the lower end of the street. Both sides were at it hot and heavy with paving stones. Finally the crowd increased, and a number surged down 1o the brick fields, and there they fought an hour without the police interfering until, as 1 watched trom my windoyw, I could see men fall over exhausted when they leaned down to pick up stones. Suddenly 1SAW TIE POLICE APPEAR near the Protestants and attack them with the butt: of their muskets. The Orangemen answered with ‘a volley of stones and the yol'e:retired. Then I noticed that, without warning, the police raised their rifles to fire. 1 tried to warn the crowd. The poice noticed me at the window and they immo- diutely lowered their rifles and ran back a block. 1 shut my window and went to the back part of the house just in time, as & shower of buckshot riduled my shutters, Immediataly afterwards I went to the window again and saw a littl fellow of ten years of age rush at the police, yelling, “Buckshot,” throw a cobble stone at them and run away again. The police fired AL him at once but missed him,” AN INDIGNATION MEETING, ‘The Cathoiies held an indignation meeting Ihis afternoon to protest against the tarring of Johnston. Concerning Jolinston’s case, L saw the manager of Kordane & Wollf works, He said “We are not able to prevent such outrages, They are always committed during the break- fast and dinner hours. They are prearranged and exccuted so quickily that the whole thing is settled before A man _can come up to prevent As regards the taking away of serap iron f use in rioting, we would prevent it if we could. 1t is a dead loss to us, but we can’t scare our thousund workmen. It is true tue Catholies hnve practically been DEIVEN OUT OF THE YARD, but that has happened before the rioting be- gan. We hope they will come back to us as thiey have before. Avy way, We eaunot pre- vent it, “The polic and troops are still pouring 1nto the city, in anticivation of Sunday’s vioting. Five hundred more police came in this morning. As the city will have to pay & heavy bill for ali the extra police, it is ex- pected the rate payers will soon rebel against this continuation of rioting, The fact is the rloting has so liltie affected business in the better portions of the city that there has not been the same feeling of indignation against 1t which was felt during the previous riots when a business portion was wrecked. Thie early return of the Island men to-morrow, which is & half holiday, is looked forward to with sowe dread by all parties, READY l*‘l;ll THE RACE, The Genesta and Ibex Prepared for a Big Contost.

The supper was coniined to Barrett'sconfreres. A stupid story that Henry living has gone to Ameriea to “back- cap” Barrett is killed by the fact that Irving’s name appears as one of the stewards, and among the guests were Irving’s intimates, Hutton, Brereton and Dr. Morrell Macken- zie. Among the dramatists present were Willis. 1. A. Jones, Sydney Grundy and H. 8.

Joseph Knight, the editor of Notes and Queries, proposed “Literature and Drama,” which was appropriately responded to by a novelist and play-wright. ‘The chairman, in the course of a much too long speeen re- marked: “Wilson Barrett we lend to Amer fca. in return for the pleasure and amuse ment America has lately lent us.

We wish them one and all success, and a sufe und foyousreturn.” Mr. Barrett responded in an unaffected and simple manner, mentioning that he had several requests to attend banquets, but was compelled to accept one given by his con- freres. Hoadded: “Thechairman bas said youare tolend me to America in return for what Awmerica has lent us, I fear it isa very poor return for the treasures she has from time to time entrusted tous, As I think of the names of a_few from the long roll of famous American actors who have favored England with. their presence, I can remem- ber Forrest, Booth.

This shortage had gradually accumulated dwring Colonel Kelly's entire term, he giving a fresh bond every year or so to lower it. The shortage beeanie public some. time after Colonel Kelly turned his office overto his successor and a hasty summoned meeting of his bondsmen and personal friends resulted in the amount being contrib- uted and made good to the governien.

CrrceAGo, August 12.—[Speeial Telegram to the Ber]—The long drought was broken in many places in southwestern fowa and southwestern 1llinols, yesterday, but the break was of 5o violent a character that fears are entertained that more harm than good was done. Special dispatehes from towns along the line of the Burlington road in Towa, which passes through the best of the corn country, indicate that the storm was of great severity, the wind and sweeping rain combining to produce great hurt to trees and crops. From Creston, 100 miles from Coun cil BlufTs, the report Is that rain came too late to do any good. From Mount Pleasant, thirty miles west of Burlington, the corn was blown flat to the eround and the present con- dition is worse than it was before, whicll w: bad enough. A report from Springiicld, in this statc, is to the effect that ti:e storm fas done irreparable damage to_corn, though it will revive grass and insures fall ' psturaze for stock. "Reports from along the Kock nd road are much to the same eff St. Louis and farther south the indic re that the storm has been disastrous, s severe at St. Louis, knocking down the railing of the approach 10 the bridgo from the east side.
