"THE BOYNE WATER."
A MOB RIOT. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, July 12. The anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne was celebrated in Belfast. Notwithstanding a downpour of rain 55,000 Orangemen marched through the principal streets. The Roman Catholics attempted to destroy the Orange arch, and this led to stone-throwing. The police charged with batons a mob which was window-smashing. Some policemen and some women had to be removed to hospital. There were disturbances in other districts. Mr. P. E. Smith, the principal speaker, said that Home Rule was the most brazen paradox of modern politics. If he were an Ulster Protestant he would rather be ruled by the Sultan from Constantinople than by Mr. Devlin.
