HOME RULE.
RIOTS L\ BELFAST. DONXYBROOK FAIR. ORANGE v. CATHOLIC. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 17, 1.2 a.m. London, September 16. Oyer a thousand fought grimly for half an hour at Belfast. A hundred were injured and sixty sent to the hospital. Many had fractured skulls. One constable lost an eye. The troops were confined to baracks in apprehension of further trouble in the shipyards. Mr. Dillon, speaking at Kells, County Meath, declared that the Unionists' only argument against Home Rule -was the bludgeon, the boot and iron nuts. The Orange idea of civil war was to attack their fellow countrymen when in a majority of ten to one. He denounced the Duke of Xorfolk for participating in the Blenheim meeting and not protesting against Mr. Bonar Law's approval of Orangemen kicking Catholics to death at Belfast. He challenged him to condemn the speech.
