Belfast, Aug. 2.—When the rioting was suppressed it was hoped and by many believed that there would be no further disorder. There was not, however, any relaxation of vigilanoe on the part of the police, who, as far a* possible, prevented the gathering Of crowds about the street corners and in open spaces. Toward night tbe tide of travel set in the direction of York street, and soon that thoroughfare was filled with people. A* they dill not loiter tbe police could find no pretext for dispersing them, and wMn the strains of music from tbe bands accompanying a larga body of Catholics returning from ah excursion were heard the pretence of so unusual a crowd upon that particular street was accounted for. As the excursionists marched between the solid walls of humanity on either side of the street they were greeted with derisive jells and finally with a volley of stone* The wamen and children, of whom there were many in the procession, screamed with fright and pain, many of them being hit, and their cries settled to stimulate Mm rioters to renewed violenps. Suddenly the crowd, as if by prearrangament, rushed upon the procession and beat the exciirsianlsts indiscriminately, women and children suffering alike ' with the men. The police charged the riot D era, who were oonfinitig themselves to Attacking the grooesskm, but had already sacked several buildings and were engaged in wrecking others, and were driven back by a shower of stones. The mob rapidly increand, and, following up their advantage over the police, charged tho latter, driving them back soma distance. The military at this juncttfar appeared on the scene and making a stand fired into the crowd killing one man and wefunding seven. Before the rioters bad recovered from this volley tha military charged upon them with fixed bayoneb, olearing tine streets in short order. The police suffered severely during tbe fight, several of them being hit by jristol shots fired by the cr6Wf*_ ftree or four of them are seriously but none fatally injured. r The fraadom of the American Press To the House of Representatives: I have approved a bill originating in the house of representatives, entitled, "An act defining butter, also imposing a tax upon and regulating the manufacture, sale, importation and exportation of oleomargarine."

On" Saturday afternoon last, while a party of young men, employes of the Cleveland Boiling mill, were indulging in a game of baseball in the Eighth ward, a copy of The Press containing the United Press account of the correspondence was read, and an animated discussion of matter ensued, which resulted In thirty of the young men enrolling themselves as volunteers in the event of war with Mexico. Yesterday the company was augmented by twentyfive recruits, all of whom are assiduously drilling under the captain of one of the late Cleveland and Hendricks campaign clubs. The enlistsra are' load in their denunciation of the apathy of the state department in this matter, and claim that they will support Governor Ireland in any action he may take in behalf of the citizens of Texas. This legislation has awakened much interest among the people of the country, and earnest argument has been addressed to the executive for the purpose of influencing his action thereupon. 0 Many in opposition have urged its dangerous character as tending to break down the boundaries between the proper exercise of legislative power by federal and state authority; many, in favor of the enactment, have represented that it promised great advantages to a large portion of our population who sadly need relief; and those on both sides of the question, whose advocacy or opposition is based on no broader opposition than local or personal interest, have outnumbered all Oat Organised Labor. WaranroTOK, Ang. &—la response to the resolution erf the senate asking for information concerning the alleged Illegal detention of A. K. Cutting by the Mexican authorities at SI Paso del Norte, the president transmitted to the senate the report of the secretary of state, together with a voluminous tnnss of correspondence relative to the cane. , Under date of Jaly 1, United States Consul Brlgham, at El Paso dial Norte, forwarded to United States Minister Jackson, at Mexico, a full statement of the facta attending the arrest and imprisonment of Cutting, and an announcement of his (Brigham's) failure to procure any reply to his applications for a fair trial or the release on bail of Mr. Cutting. ' On July 6 the UnitedStatae minister sought from M Marescal, the Mexican secretary of foreign affairs, proper relief for Mr. Cutting. The following day M. Marescal replied that he had recommended thj governor of (Chihuahua to see that prompt and full justice was Worcester, Aug. a—Special to The Telegram says; The whole town of Athol, Mass., was thrown into a ferment of excitement by the following notioe which was posted in the shops of the shoe manufacturing firm of the The pamphlet is 10 inches by 8, and very fine print It bears no signature. At the top it is described as a plan of government suggested by some of the delegates. Some of the men who pondered over the circular said yesterday that they recognised the handiwork ot Victor Drury, a half dreamy, half fiery Socialist, who is a member of the Home club, and from whom the leader of the club, Master Workman Maguise, draws inspiration. Notioe is hereby given to our workmen that our shops will continue to rim until August 14. At the close of business on that day our shops will close until Monday, August 80. All workmen in our employ will then be required to sign a certificate to the effect that they do not belong to and will not join any labor organisation during the time they are in our employ. The rule requiring two ifeek's notice to discontinue work for us is waived until August 80, and any who wish to leave previous to that date will be paid in full on demand the others. Tho circular begins by suggesting that the National Co-operative party be organised at once. Many at the present evils, it Buys, coma fro a the oompetitive system in business. Mr. Maguire's plan of government would have no competition. The government must do all the business and the workers must get equal shares. This, upon Its face and in its main features, is a revenue bill and was first introduced in the house of representatives, wherein the constitution declares that all bills for raising revenre shall originate. The constitution has invested congress with a very wide legislative discretion, both as to the necessity of taxation and the selections of the objects of its burdens. And though, if the question was presented to me as an original proposition, I might doubt the present need of increased taxation, I deem it my duty in this instance to defer to the judgment of the legislative branch of the government which has been so emphatically D announced in b«th houses of oongrcse upon the passage of this bill. Moreover, those who desire to see the weight of taxation removed now pressing upon the people from other directions, may well be justified in the hope and expectation that the selection of an additional subject of internal taxation so well able to bear it, will, in consistency, be followed by legislation relieving our uiiiaens from other revenue burdens rendered by the passage at this bill even more than heretofore unnecessary and needlessly oppressive.

He would have no president, vice-president or senate, but in their places would have an executive board chosen directly by the people, and subject to removal at any time by the house of representatives.

The people alooe are to have the right to propose laws. No important laws are to be enforced unless the people have endorsed them by a popular vote. Capital punishment is to be abolished.

The alleged offeree may be, and daubtjsssfin the present ejuto; fc—within the United Btntefc— held to be a misdemeanor, not of high grade; but, in Mexico, may be associated with penal results of the gravest character. An act n*y be credited by a Mexican statute an offense of high grade, which in the United States would not be punishable in any degree. The safety of our citizens,* and all others within our jurisdiction, would be greatly impaired, if not wholly destroyed, by admitting the power of a foreign state to define offenses and apply penalties to acts committed within tiie jurisdiction of the United State*. The United States and the states composing this Union contain the only forum for tha trial of offenses against their laws, and to concede the jurisdiction of Mexico over Cutting's case, as it is stated in Consul JBrigham't report, would be to substitute the jurisdiction and laws of Mexico for those of the United States over offenses committed [solely within the United States by a gitixen of the United States.
