Last nlulit the whole city seemed quiet , quieter than I have sern it since 1 arrived. Ono tliliiu which p.iitlcularly Rti uck mo , was that , during the evening 1 was able to drive through all parts of the town without changing my dilver ns I passed from tlio piotestant to thy catholic quarter. OIITIIODOX .mnus NKrt : sAnv. I-ast Monday tlio lust remark made by a Catholic cabman was : " 1 cannot go to Shank Hill , or the Old Ledge road , sir. " If the dilver were a piotestant ho would say : ' "I ho I'allsioadis not safe for the likes of ns , your honor. " So 1 was always compelled to suit the relldon and politics of my driver to the neighborhood 1 wished to visit. In fact , even with a Jehu of the pioper toligion , an accuiato knowledge of the district was quite essential , ns not to know the exact lo cation of 1'atrick O'FIanagan's home was consldcicd quite enough pi oof that the In- qiilier was sulllclently a stianger to the woi- thy ot half a brickbat. A WINDOW rtn.r , OF iivii.nr-iioins. There was no rioting last night. The Btrects were crowded , but the pcopln w ere good hinnoied , and this feeling was so marked all over the town that I think a po liceman caught at Shaik 11111 without an cscnrt of a do/en troops would probably have been only tarred and not killed , i noticed only one b.ul sign as I went through Hie dis turbed district on Shank Hill. A largo ciowd had entheied in front ot tlio shop of John MelCeo , a plain class window of which had twenty-one bullet-holes in it. The crowd was sullenly muttering abant Iho unfairness of the police in tiring down Diamond stieet , which the shop laced , and the latal effects their caieless firing might have hail on thu occupants and the customers of tlio shop. WOMIIX AND cim.uncx pinnu AT. As it happened , foitunntely , Mrs. IMcKce , her lour childien and scvcial customers had run quickly into the back kitchen , wlieio they crouched behind a ihln bilek pnitltion For half an Hour tlio buckshot hailed against the fiont of the pnitltion wall , nnd some went tlnough the door , between the kitchen nnd tlio shop , flntleninc against the back wall , within a few ieet ot which the children lay. One boy was sent up stairs ns a kind of scout lo soj xvhotlior the danger was over. He was liml at as soon as ho put 'his head out of the window. A. iMiinsT WITH A mo STICK. Hoyond thients of retaliation on the police . In this unit similar cases , I found nothing to Indicate n renewal of the noting. At about 1 o'clock this morning seveial shots wcio flied down Noithumbeilaiid stieet which caused a largo body of roughs to gather at its Intoiscetion with the Falls ro.id. The troops denied Iho streels by eliaigtng doxvn it. A pcrsuaslxo priest , with a large stick , appealed on the scone and scattoied the icmnnnts of thn cioxvd In time to pievent the tioops from firing on the people. The Falls load was all nxvako with excitement , but the rioting did not i each ahead then. HOHU8OI' wn.n This small bioaklng out was n bad begin ning for Sunday. As the day waxed oldo the outlook for the tntuio grow worse. It soon became evident that there was more dnngcr of soveie rioting than them had been nt any time since last Sunday. Wild firing by both Protestants and Catholics began at about 3 o'clock In the morning and lasted al most without intermission along Noith How ard nnd Oonwny stieots for over two boms. 1 counted SOU shots that must have been Jiied up to 5 o'clock , but no one was injured. The Catholics were then apparently thing fiom thu top of the High mills , at tlio corner of Falls road. DKAl ) r.NOUOH , THANK TIIK LOUD. They got tlio inngo of the Protestants , who vroie sheltered by a brick wall at the corner of Nuilh Howard fitieot. The Ihst shot from the mill killed Samuel McFarlnnd , a boy of nineteen , The bullet wont tluougli the lad's body , and having glnnced against the wall , severely wounded ncomrndo In tlio hip. The second shot toic through the shoulder ot James Smith. The tioops coming up both patties rotteatcdcairylng axvny their killed nnd wounded. As regards tlio wounded on the Catholic hide It is impossible ns yet to spenlc with any curtalnty. An Orangomnn said to mo : "Indeed wo killed plenty ot them , Ono fellow knelt just beyond them taking aim when 1 popped nt him. Ho gave n gio.it jump and fi ll backward , llo's dead enough , thank the Lord. " I.OOT1NO CATI10MO HOUSES. About 0 o'clock Hugh Hupier , of No. CO Conwny stieet , xvas arrested for shooting fiom a windoxv. Many shots woie undoubt edly Hied tiom Ids house , but ho claims they wcro not llrcd by him.

An hour later Increased the tension between the cioxvds of I'lotcstants and Catholics which gathered , facing eaeli other at all Ihocioss streets , but they xvoro kept out of n stone's tlnoxv of each olhor by double lines of iroop-i. The shots did no damage , nnd the security from nnest en- jojed by the iloteis , whoovcry night do such wild shooting Into tiie streets , is said to bo duo to n peculiar habit of the Belfast rlotcis of setting stride lidgo poles under the shadows dews and protection of chimneys and thence tiring , eitlier Into the air or Into the slicct. nsbest stilted to the shooters' taste. MIIWIOHT'S 4\virT : not'ii. The city bell Is now perfectly quiet , nnd a low stray shots have been llrcd by loafers at Intervals during the whole evening , but merely out of bravado. One of the best local mi then Hies assures me ho Is certain the riots nro now over , and he thinks probably there will bo shooting nnd clubbing for several weeks to come , and that perhaps some 'lives will be lost In paity rows , ns In this morn ing's , but that all danger of sciloua rioting is passed.

They xvcre eox'cred at night by new posts of dragoons and police. So stiong a force Is in hand In the dnngcious parts or the city that n mob could bo surrounded and cap tured at very short notice. This Is known lo the rioters , and theyuru unlikely , there fore , to mnko any attempts at lighting and house-wrecking until after 1 to-numow morning , xvlien the troops will bo withdiaxvn and Iho city left in the hands of Iho police. OIANOiMEX ! : AND 1'OUCR. One of Iho comic Incidents of these dls- Imbed times lay in the negotiations which went on between tlio police authoiitlesand thoOrango leaders legauling the leims on which the police were to be allowed to re sume duty in the I'roU'slnnt dlstilcts. Yes terday's ' verdict of wilful niuidcr against an unknown policeman tor killing John Edge- xvoith diil so much to sallisty the feeling of hatted against the pollco that they think now thov may resume duty without any serious icnewal of ilotlnc. There were ritmois last nlt'ht that a Catholic illlu club had challenged all Oinngc society to a repetition of last Sun day morning's ' sharp shooting near Spring field , but the tioops xvere so stationed as to make Mich a renewal of brutal lighting almost impossible. SICKIjY S The IJInoil Kiiiuitn < ; in the Gutters of lll'USHClS. BuiTSSKi. ' , . August 15. [ Now York Herald Cable Special to tlio Br.i : . ] The dreaded .socialist manifestation has come and gone constitutionally , peacefully , picturesquely. Thu Brussels gutters do not tun with blood and King Ccopold still adorns the llnone of Uelgium. Long before the Uiussels shop- kcepeis had taken doxvn their bliuttcis I xvas up diiving aiound thu popular quaiters of the city to ECO the arrival of the socialist xvork- ingmen fiom Iho piovinccs by special trains , which had been organized from all paits of Uelcium. Thousands of xveavors , brexveia and builders xvero oxuccted from the great manufacturing centers of Flanders. THOUSANDS' OV l'AMIhIlii : > JIINKP.9 from Mona and Charlerol liad voxvod that they would llount their misery In the faces of their tyrants , nnd though the government alfected to have no fear , they had taken ex tra piecaulions to guard public build ings nnd the poison of Ihe king. Brussels looks xvondcrtnlly pielty in the caily morning. The houses aie bright xvith royal trl-color bunting ; two tri colors wave from tlio lofty towers of the cathedral of St. Gudiilo ; the fionts of the goveinmcnt oillces , ol the railway stallons nnd Iho palaces aio decked with colored lamps , xvhllo a southern sun shown iloxvu on the gny little city , eliding the belfry of the Hotel de Villo and xvaimlng the hearts ot Uuudieds of I.UCKI.KSS SOCIALISTS , xvlio , not having had the whciexvithal to pay for oven cheap excursion tickets , had luft their Brabant hovels on foot and had tramped all night rnthci than miss the manifestation. Many of these poor xvretches urilvcd llteially starving , without a son in their pockets. But for the ehaiity of the Biussel burgeois they would not have had sliength enough to maicli In Hie procession. Yet , on reaching the rallying points In the Alleo Vctto nnd in other avenues near the Oaro uu Noid , they had got enough in them to essay leeble erics in German. "UNIVKIIS.U. SUFFKAni : KOI ! KX'IMI. " By 0 o'clock Brussels xvas fairly axvake and the streelo began to xvear a holiday aspect. In all diioctlnns bands ot ritl/cns xvcie to bo seen cheerily marching along with banners nnd emblems , but they xvero ot various hues , red , blue and til-color nnswcilng to the dif- feiont shades ot opinion , of the socialist , of thn liberal nnd the rovallst. This clash and medley of symbols make a strong character of orlgln-illy of the day. Turniu/j / ono cor ner yon inn Into a group of steady-going clerks nnd shopmen singing "I , a Brnbau- coitne/ . " The next moment you meet n deputation of miners , xvith pale , pinched cheeks , carrying phrygaln caps on poles and blood rod bannois , A loxv bteps fuithcr you crossed the line of n procession of peaceful bourgeois armed xvith Inolfonslvo Ushlng rods on their way to the Grand National AnsJers' contest , which fonns thu leading feature ot the annual fote. And all the groups met , crossed nnd rc- cro scd without once COJIIJffl JKTO COLLISION or losing their temper. At 10 o'clock special trains from Halnault , Flanders nnd other Belgian provinces began to arrive , laden xrltu xvorklnciiicii. Following a crowd of holiday makers , I toiind myself near to the Uare du Nerd , In tlio midst of n group of socialists with scarlet Jiowera In tlu-lr button holes and big cards Inscribed xvith the words "Algmnpen Stcinrecht" In their hp.ts , Old women clad In long black cloaks xvero mean- xvhllo going about belling xvares. A dreary rustle the "Marseillaise" xvas singing and n number of llttlo urchins xvero rllSllIKU IN AXU OUT of the crowd , hawking the Def ulsseanx's , the last socialistic squib , ami poitrnits of the socialistic leaders. At the cross-road * In the Ituu Desoiinu sovcr.il thousand xvoiklngmen of Brussels stood In serried , orderly masses , awaiting the arrival of tlioNoornlt delega tion from Uand. Presently two trains steamed ln _ wUtTTho V oriilt party personally conducted by the socialists , Anscelo and Bnelo , and accompanied by ilftylx pretty maidens , some dressed In scarlet All socincd ontlmslastiu In the cause. FullloK quickly Into line , they marched down the boulovarde headed by a brass band , the worklnguion carrying a board adorned xvith the xvhlto lion of Gaud. As It debarked from the station Into the road the band struck up tlio famous nlr of Vannrtoveld , The profession took up tlio refrain , the SOAllLET UAIDUKS FLUITKRUD their haudkprch'.Bfs ami thn crowo of specta tors , carried nxvay by It3 enlbudlAsui , shouted "Vivo la Icsgaulols" "Love het nlccinocn slcmrecht. " As I stood watching the scene Bertram ! , the socialist loader , t\pped me on the shoulder. Soon nfterwnvds I passed Jean Vocders. who was folloxx-ed by an ad miring bodyguard , xvho scorned as much adored by the women ns liked by the men. A few thousand police nnd civic guards had been stationcil ; it strategic points along the route , but THANKS TO THE SHI.r 11KST11.X1NT of the socialists , thov hail nothing to do but look ornamcnt.il. When the procession xvas fairlj under xvay 1 diox'C lo the course , which t found guarded by a company of chassmirs , under the command of Caplaln Kcnard , nn old trlcnd. "Anything to oblige yon , " said llenard , on my asking to be allowed to join Ids men on the steps. At a ( ] imitcr to ono the sound of music was heard and the procession now swollen by MANV THOUSAND IH'.CItUITS began to file past singing the "Marseillaise" nnd the "Artevetdo" hymns. At his head came the Antwerp deputation , nest walked Valders , shadowed by a huge til color ling veiled by crape ; tliun matched the socialists ofBrussells xvith a rod ll.xs and other tro phies ; nfteixvaid came the Foornitgioup , ere- cecded by Ihe xvhlte lion ot Ci.ind , and a red flag nltnchcd lo a bundle of llctors toils and surmounted by the lap of llbcity. Dchlml these marched miners , masons , pavlors and glass bloxvers Irom Chailerol , Liege , Namur , Mais , Hinges and other Belgian cities , some In blouses , others In fu-tlan. altogether about txventy or THIHTV THOUSAND stiong , moving steadily as troops In the paiado giound. King Leopold xvas mean- xvhllo tranquilly visiting the academy of line aits , and the queen unostentatiously diivlug about the streets in a pony chaise. When the procession had passed the bom so 1 fell In xvltli Itcnaid's ' chasseurs , xvho marched lo the royal palace , where from txvo to tin eo thousand clvlo guards and artillery police xveio draxvn up. Happily llicro xv.is no occasion for their services this aftcinoon. By 4 o'clock the last socialist ex cursionist had left and the Brussels bonr- geoise , relieved from tholr nightmare , gave themselves up to drinking and revelry. WHAT TUB MlDUI.i : CLASSHS THINK. Yeslerday , in order lo ascertain xvliat Iho lliusscls middle classes think of the piesent agitation , 1 called at the olllce ot the Inde pendence IJclze , the gient liberal organ. The director xvas absent , but ono of Ihe chief editors , M. Harry Gerard , ussnied me that the Brussels buiccoise xvas divided into txvo companies-one panic-stiicken at the hostile agitation , the other indifferent. "People are knocked-knced here , " ho said , "too ignorant of tlio mailers at issue lo fight over Ihe labor question. They xvill light fast enough over cleilcalism or anti-cleilcalism , bill they don't understand the business. " A fcrol1 ATLlLT.n. On my xvay to Brussels I halted at Lille , hoping to see the notoilous Alfied De Fills- seanx. Some months ago he xvas found guilty ot treason lollie king and of stirring up sedation by publishing a lire brand called Lo Catechisino Lu ) 1'euple , which Iho gov- cinment piolesscd to hold responsible lor the sanguinary riots at Chailerol. The au thor escaped to Fiance at Ihe very moment Ihe judu'o xvas passing sentence upon him. I just misled M Do Fuisseaux. The French police had ordered him oil lo Paris.

The dis appointed news that there xvas nothing In the opplng xvus carried back to the hotels nnd lodgings and enabled the slumbers to sleep on. By 10 o'clock Iho parade.

She is thus entitled to become- the noxv holder of the prized American Cup. 1 xvont aboard the hex ntoncc mid congratulated Mr. Jameson nnd his brother William , xvho nlxvnya sail tlio Irex. Tlio former Is a quiet and unassuming man , but by no means n son of Analt. Ho seemed to take the victory as a matter of course and did not betray any outxvard signs of pleasure. 1 then gle.ined . the following account of the race : "The Irex passed tlio Needles at lib. 45m , a , m. on Satuiday. The wind , xviitch had been bloxvlng briskly , dropped axvay. At 2ti. 45m. a llttlo breeze sprung uo , and at Oh. 16m. the Irox xx'as thirty-three miles on" tlio Needles. The Gcnesta xvas then about three miles astern. The wind died nwny and it became calm. The Irox tacked to the sontlixx-ard , heading south southeast At Oh. 13m. xve xvore going about nine knots. Shoitly after xvo made the southeast end ot Cherbourg breakxvatcr and saw the light Wo tacked again to the xxestwaidand rounded the west end of tlio breakwater atSh.4"iin.

She was then about four miles astern , ami xvliat became of her I cannot imagine , but I fancy she xvas becalmed. We had aboard , all told , txventy-soven , including Mrs. William Jamie- son and three irentlemen. Wo have certainly had lldes , winds and everything else liwmr fax-or , so that this race may not definitely settle the Brcnton reef cup , for which xve xvill probably sail life Genusta next week ; but in our opinion neither the Gencsta nor any yacht in England has a chance of beat ing us. I think the Gnlcata is a slightly bet ter boat than the Geuesta , but do not expect her to xvin the American cup. " I found Hint opinion xvns shared by Mr. William Jamison nlso , xvho nddcd : "It wo xx-cre sine of sllff rfirce es xvo xvould take the Irox over and Iry to bring the cup hero our selves , but it xvould be no use of our forfeiting a xviiote season here , xvhero xvo sail thiougli the lacing season about thlity-livo races. If , when the day arrived. tUo xvind xx-as light , wo should have no chance xvhatcxer. Still , I noxv think It is time America sent a boat ( over here. It xx'ould cause a llntter of ex citement if she xvere to do so , and If she took the cups axvay fiom us , then xvo should very likely build a baat 16 regain them. " I found that Mrs. Jamison , xvho looks every inch n yachtswoman , slrongly wished her husband and brollier-in-laxv lo go lo America , so tint there Is a strong probability nftcr all , that the Irex may be seen compet ing in American xvalers.

It Is haul to render an accurate answer to this question , for tlio dry weather has prevailed so unevenly that tlio damage lias not been cqualld distributed. In tills locality. Central Iowa , there have been no heavy rains since the hitler pai t of May , and except in favored spots , the drouth has been almost continuous. In consequence corn hns groxvn lassellcd nnd eaied. to out- xvard appcaianccs the same ns usual , but n close Inspection shows the missing or half- filled ears , and rex-eals Iho great damage lliat has been done. Two months ago It was esti mated that the total yield lorloxvn xvould bo about 210,000,000 bushels under lair condi tions. Now after this long continued diontli it is estimated that the crop xvill not amount to more than 100.000,000 bushels , it no unfa vorable conditions intervene between now nnd the time xvlien the ciop is maimed. If September should bo xvot , xvith heavy and continuous rainfalls , llieio will be danuerof what Is called n "second growth , " keeping the.jplant green till the fiost slrlkes It , thus m'nlerially reducing Ihe loxv estimate already tirade.- Small ginins seem to bo in much bet ter condition , and promise vciy near an av erage. > ield. coNonnssioNAi.
