situation. He had heard several times from the President since leaving Washington, but there was nothing Pa his communications to him which bore upon business. In discussing the coming Presidential year Alanning dwelt upon the necessity of great harmony and the importance of Congress doing something next winter to reduce taxes. He said: The labor element is an unknown and uncertain quantity. The vote in the Mayoralty contest of New York City shows that if there should be a National labor convention next year that should nominate George for the Presidency it might make several States doubtful.

Where States have been carried by us by narrow majorities any such element as this must of necessity complicate matters.

He said that he could not discuss that as he was too remote from current affairs in the United States. I asked him what he thought of the plan to relieve the surplus by going to the market to buy bonds that were not yet due.

He said that this would not do at all. It was a policy that should not be maintained a moment. Holders of bonds not due would not surrender them to the Gevernment without the payment of a premium. He said no party could pay a bonus to bondholders and hold up its head in any campaign. Besides being bad politics he did not believe in it from a financial standpoint.

Bondholders are none too popular. Mr. Manning was asked if he was pleased with Fairchild's appointment as Secretary of the Treasury. He said that he was. He had recommended him for that appointment.

Fairchild vas familiar with the policy of the department inaugurated by him, and he felt anxious to have his appointment made, as such action secured the carrying out of his policy without change. additional fitness to be Governor-General, they are entitled to say so, but the people of Canada are equally entitled to differ with them loud applause and to declare that the man who tramples upon the resolutions of their Canadian Parliament with respect to Ireland is no longer fit to govern a nation of generous and freedom-loving men.

1 1 A Question in Which lionorably-DLscharged Soldiers Are Interested. WASHINGTON, D. May 17.Special.)-- The law concerning the discharge from office of honorably-discharged soldiers has again been found. It was brought to the notice of the Civil-Service Commission some weeks ago, but the Commissioners lost the reference, and then hunted vainly through the Revised Statutes. The law was passed in 1S76, and was part of the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Appropriation bill of the year.

For this reason it does not appear at all in the Revised Statutes, but is to be found in 'Sec. 3, Chap. of the laws of IST6. In the clause relatoig to reduction of force it is provided that where the head of a bureau or department finds it necessary to dismiss honorably-discharged ex-U nion soldiers are to be kept in preferenve to all others. The language is very broad.

and leaves little question that it is intended to cover all cases of removals of soldiers. This was the opinion of the Couhnissioners when they first read it. Today C7ommissioner ()burly was not quite sure that it would reach cases outside of the Executive Departments at Washington. Before Commissioner Lyman went to New England he had ready his report on the Chicago Custom-House and Post-Of-lice. The statement given out by Ober ly on Lyman's return that the investigation had proved entirely fruitless and that everybody had been found guiltless was a trifle previous.

It was true that the charges of Webster against Collector Seeberger were not thought to be fully sustained. It was also agreed that the Civil-Service Examining Board of the Custom-House was said to be but Mr. Lyman could not say as much of the Post-Office Board, of WHICH Donovan and Wilbanks are the leading spirits. Ile criticises this sharply, and hints strongly that it is run in an irregular way. In effect, Mr.

Lyman indicts the Post-On-ice Examining Board as a ring, which is occupied chiefly in making the Civil-Service law useless. This report was to have been passed on by Commissioners Oberly and Edgerton while Lyman was away. But it is now uncertain whether Edgerton will be back from Indiana at all, and the steps when were to be taken to reform Messrs. Donovan and Wilbanks are indefinitly put off. Amt.

BEN: PERLEY POORE ILL. Maj. Ben: Perley Poore was taken seriousiy ill this afternoon in his committee-room at the Capitol. He was unconscious for awhile. The attack was the result of overwork and the heat.

The Major was overcome suddenly by sickness of the stomach and quietly fainted away. Three physicians were soon in attendance, and in a few moments the patient was restored to consciousness. When his strength was partially regained he was removed to his rooms at the Ebthtt House, where he is resting quietly. It is hoped that a few days' perfect rest will restore the Major to his usual good health. The condition of Maj.

Poore is considered more serious tonight than early in the 'afternoon. His physicians had consultations at 6 o'clock and 9:30 p. and will hold another tomorrow. Dr. Baxter said: We regard his condition as serious but slightly better than at 6 o'clock.

The attack was primarily due to Bright's disease of the kidneys, from which he has suffered several years. Today the Major exposed himself some time to the full glare of the sun. This, together with overwork, weakened him and brought on the illness. He has been conscious nearly all the time. The danger lies in the fact that the kidneys may be too weak to respond and dispose of the uric acid, in which event blood-poisoning would set in.

A Boom FOR BLACK. The friends of Pension Commissioner Black are engineering a movement to have him made Secretary of the Interior. The first step is to open the way by having Secretary Lamar appointed to succeed Justice Woods ol the Supreme Bench. GOSSIP FROM LABOUCHERE.

The Two Reports of the investigating Committee Discussed at Length in the Senate The Conspiracy Dill and Other Measures ConsideredRevision of the State Drainage Law and the insurance 'Non-Forfeiture Dills Passed Other News. Sete Neel Imo, 111., May State printing fraud held the attention of the Senate nearly all day, the reports of the special committee to investigate the matter coming up as the special order. There was no attempt to postpone action, but two efforts were made to suppress the whole matter in a quiet way, but both failed.

Senator Bacon of Will wanted to table the minority report before it was really brought before the Senate, and Senator Crawford went so far as to question the authority of the committee to make any investigation at all. If the minority report had been tabled the whole subject would have gone with it, or if the question as to the authority of the committee had been sustained the combine would have got off very easily. Both questions were ruled out, and the Senate then got down to the main question. Senator Seiter called for the reading of the minority report presented by himself and Senator Higgins, the other Democratic member of the investigating committee. This is the report which severely criticised the State officers for letting the contract, and selected Secretary of State Demerit as the special object of censure.

The minority report was offered as an amendment to that of the majority, and after it had been read Senator Thompson raised the point of order the report of a committee could not be amended, but the Chair held that the views of the minority might be adopted as an amendment to the main report, and a long discussion ensued. Senator Higgins proceeded to severely censure Secretary Dement for not exposing the combine after he had been informed of it by Strattau at the Palmer House in Chicago three days after the contract was awarded. Senator Wheeler, one of the Republican members of the Investigating Committee, made an argument. He said that at no time in the meetings of the committee had politics been mentioned. It never occurred to the majority until after the report was adopted that the minority would desire to present any other views.

There was nothing in the record which justified the selection of Secretary Dement as the special object of attack. He insisted that Dement knew nothing about the criminal character of tne conspiracy until after the contract was awarded, and he then had no power to annul it Senator Forman said that, although a partisan, tie wanted to say that the person who presented the most pitiable spectacle presented by any witness was a Democrat, and he could not but blush for him and the irstitution he represented. This person was Thomas Rees of tne state Regbiter, who swore that he did not represent the Regi4tter, but was in a private speculation, yet he had bound the Register completely, and that paper had hounded all who were connected with the investigation, and had done more to prejudice public Opinion than any other paper he had read. He had no apologies to make for Rees or Clendenin. Senator Higgins made the closing speech, and the vote was then taken.

Every Republican was present except Senator Adams, and all of them voted against the minority report, upon which the vote was first taken. Senators Cantwell, Orendorf, Southworth, and Strattan, Democrats, also voted against the minority report. Senators Bell, Darnell, Forman, Gore, Higgins, Johnson, Organ, Seiter and Stephenson Democrats, and Streeter, Greenback, voted for the minority report, which was defeatedyeas, 10; nays, 35. The Majority report. which denouilees the printing combine and recommends that no more money be appropriated for work under them, was then adoptedyeas, 36; nays, 5.

Senator Bell, who had made the motion, withdrew it, and Senator Gibbs then moved that the enacting words of the bill be stricken out.

The vote was a tie, and the Chair then gave the casting vote in the negative, and the bill remained as before the vote was taken. The motion to strike out the enacting words will be renewed tomorrow. The House bill to regulate the manufacture and sale of dynamite and other dangerous explosives was ordered to second reading and Mr. Merritt's House Conspiracy bill was taken up on second reading. Senator Seder moved that it be referred to the Committee on Judicial Department, which was adopted.

Several House bills were read a first time, and Senator Sumner's bill to enable township insurance companies to Insure live stock on thee premises was passed.

The Coming Concert at Buckingham PalacePersonal mention. LONDON, May 17.New York World Cable.1Labouchere's letter: There is to be a state concert Friday, June 3, at Buckingham Palace. Desperate efforts have been made by legions of people to get their invitations postponed till juoilee week, but secret orders have been issued from on high that only the very cream of the list are to he bidden to the second ball, as it is to be attended not only by all the royal family, but also by the whole of the distinguished guests from abroad Dr.

Phillips Brooks of Boston is coming to Europe for a few weeks this summer, and is to arrive in London in June. It is probable that Dr. Brooks will preach in Temple Church, St. Paul's Cathedral. Westminster Abbey, and St.

Margaret's Church during his.stay in England. It is to be regretted that discussion upon the to be expended on the Westminster Abbey jubilee service came on so late that the report had to be condensed in the daily patters, for a more profligate expenditure never has been permitted. The abbey is to be converted into a sort of olympia, with great wooden galleries. The wood is only to be hired for a day. It is to cost 9,000.

The galleries are to be covered with some sort of hangings, and cushions are to be provided. The hire of the hangings and of the cushions is to cost 1:5,500. The stationary is to cost .4:1,100, though what this stationary is to consist of no one knows. In addition to this the Dean and Chapter are to receive .1501) for possible damage to the cathedral, and 1300 as a solatium for not being able to hold ordinary services while the galleries are being erected. Mr.

Plunkett 'estimates that the galleries will seat 10,000 persons. Therefore the seating will cost 1114 shillings per head, whilst churches are entirely built at an average cost of 12 per head. But a most curious admission was made by Mr. Plunkett during the debate. He said that the Conservative supporters of theGovernment had informed him that they would not vote for the expenditure unless their wives were given seats.

A terrible outrage on the majesty of the law was perpetrated at the Lewes Assizes. Justice Field when on the bench entered into a conversation with the Sheriff on some matter of business. While his Lordship was so engaged an individual named Bull, described as an agent of the Sheriff, approached upon the other side and, with incredible temerity, touchedpositively touchedthe Judge upon the shoulder. justice Field, though greatly incensed, retained his presence of mind. He turned and in a peremptory tone bade the officer stand off, ana then ordered him never, under any circumstances, to presume address him again except by means of affidavit.

The finding of the body of an unknown of sPor irYdd jege good early within ill give Lieut. le; a Street fro that olati tbiclaeal Valparaiso, Porter County, Ind. The police are satisfied that Howard was murdered by an unknown man in whose company he was seen near the scene of the murder that night.

Lieut. Shea has so far been unable to obtain any satisfactory description of Howard's companion, a careful inquiry having shown that they were not in any saloon in the neigtborhood, but that they rode down Halsted street as far as Twenty-second, and, getting out there, walked across the bridge and toward the lumber-yard. A watchman at Cohn's lumber-yard, adjoining Doyle's, telephoned to the Cottage Grove Avenue Station shortly after 6 o'clock Sunday morning that the body of a man was lying between the railroad tracks in Doyle's lumber-yard at Archer avenue and Quarry street. The Deering Street Station was notified and the patrol-wagon from the latter station sent to the place. The officers found the man apparently lifeless, and lying in a pool of blood, which evidently came from a severe wound over the left eye.

The lumber-yard is crossed and rec7ossed by oisused railroad tracks, with lumber and rubbish piled here and there. Scraps of rusty railroad iron were scattered around, and a coupling-pm, which was found about twenty feet from the body is supposed to have been tne instrument With which the fatal blow was struck. The only appearance indicating that a struggle had taken place was another pool of blood a dozen yards from the body and near the coupling-nun. The body was taken to the County Hospital, where it was found that a little life still lingered, but the man remained unconscious untii his death, which took place shortly afterward. The following description was given to the police to aid in his identification: About 45 to 50 years of age, five feet nine inches in hight, weighs 150 pounds.

Has a well-shaped head, high forehead, retreating at the sides, sandy, long hair, with a chin beard streaked with gray and five inches in length. Wore a black diagonal suit of clothes of store make, a white shirt, blue mixed necktie, and shoes buckled behind." The Coroner's jury met Monday morning and hastily came to the verdict: Unknown man who came to his death from causes unknown." The description of the dead man which was given in the morning papers Monday attracted the attention or Edward Kowhenski, a watehman employed at Bouton's foundry, which is situated in the rear of Doyle's lumber-yard. The watchman came to the Deer-. ing Street Station and toid Lieut. Shea a story which aroused the first suspicion of fetal play as the cause of the unknown man's death.

Kowthenski said that he had seen two men coming down Mary street toward the lumber-yard at about 11:30 o'clock Saturday night, and when they passed the foundry he flashed the light from his dark-lantern upon them. One of the two approached and entered into a conversation with the watchman, while his companion stepped to the side out of range of the light The man I talked to was the man found in the lumber-yard, if the description is correct," said Kowhenski. He was strongly under the influence of liquor and could hardly speak intelligently. From what he said I gathered that he was going to some place under the guidance of this other man, and thinking that they were an right. I let them go on." Unfortunately the watchman cannot give the least description of the other man, who succeeded in keeping in the darkness.

Detective James Bonfield was immediately set to work upon the case. He went to the County Hospital yesterday morning and found the than's clothes stored away in an old closet. In the pockets were found an old brier-root pipe, two small pieces of wood, one of them with blood upon it, a copy of the Indiana Official Guide, in which the table Chicago to Valparaiso was marked with a lead pencil, and two annual 'passes. The two passes soon led to his identification. One of them was an annual over the New York, Chicago St.

Louis Railway, D. W. Caldwell, receiver, reading "Pass J. M. Howard, complimentary, until Dec.

31, 1SS6, unless otherwise ordered. Number 39. Lewis Williams, General Manager." The other read: Chicago Atlantic Railway, 1SS7. Pass J. M.

Howard, local attorney, Porter County, Indiana, until Dec. 31, unless otherwise ordered," and signed by Fred Broughton, Creneral Manager. That which throws the most light upon the circumstances and cause of the murder is a small transfer check on the Halsted streetcar line, and upon this is based the police theory by which they hope to trace the murderer. The Halsted street-cars go south to Twenty-second street, just north of the bridge, where they stop, and passengers desiring to go further south are given a transfer check good on the line running from that point sodth to the Stock-Yards, and also good on the Archer avenue line. The check is stamped Good between the hours of 11 and 1i o'clock p.

May 14, Iss7." Howard doubtless came down Halsted street on a car between the hours mentioned on the check, and desired a transfer to either Archer avenue or South Halsted street. The testimony of the watchman, Kowhenski, shows that he was badly intoxicated, and he probably attracted the attention of the other passengers in the car when he asked the conductor for his transfer, and, it is likely. also telling the conductor where he wanted to go and asking directions. The two men it is presumed, got off the car together at its destination. Twenty-second street, and, instead of waiting for the transfer car, walked across the bridge and turned down Archer avenue.

Bouton's foundry and LItoyle's lumber-yard are situated only a short distance away, and the encounter with AVatchman Kowhenski occurred shortly afterwards. Howard, it is thought, was then led through the lumoer yard, knocked senseless with a coupling pin, and robbed. If Howard had merely stumbled and fallen, and in this way received his fatal injury, his companion would have assisted him, or called assistance. The actions of the man while the watchman was talking to Howard and the subsequent train of incidents all indicate that Howard was deliberately enticed into the lumber-yard and murdered while he was too drunk to find his own way or to resist an assault. In response to inquiries by THE TEllit'NE, the following dispatches have been received: VALrAttAlso, May M.

Howard. who was found murdered in Doyle's lumber-yard. was an attorney of this city. He left here Saturday morning to further his interests for a position in the Government Pension-Office. He recently Passed examination for the position with much credit.

he had little money on his person when leaving here. He had held the position of local attorney for the Atlantic and the Nickel-Plate railroads for some time. Howard at one tune gave promise of a brilliant future but became addicted to liquor, with the usual result. He was a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, which institution but a few years two conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Laws. He volunteered in the Thirty-fifth Indiana in 1S62 and served through the war.

He leaves two children. His brother has tett to taxe charge of the remains, which will be interred at Logansport. That the case is one of murder perpetrated under peculiarly 3 atrocious circumstances seems tolerably well assured. It appears as veil assured that it will require admirable detective work to find the murderer. I 4 I.

r' i i I :1. 1 1 1 A Handful of Rioters in an Audience of 20,000 Try to Drown the SpeakersTumultuous Scenes Enacted. While the Police Stand quietThe Irish Patriot's Journey to Toronto and His Reception at the DepotThe Addresses. T0RONTo, in the worst days of the Belfast disorders was a scene of greater rioting exhibited than that shown this afternoon in Queen's Park when a crowd of Toronto Orangemen attempted to storm the platform, and, fading in that, to choke off all possibility of Mr. O'Brien's being heard by keeping up a continual din of groaning, hissing, and cries of God save the Queen" and Rule Britannia." The crowd numbered 20,000.

The first demonstration came from a solitary man at the left-hand side of the platform, who stood upon the stump ot a tree and began groaning at the meeting and at those on the platform as though his life depended on the effort. Near him was a woman waving a green branch in her hand, and no sooner had she seen the obstreperous Orangeman than she ran the butt of the twig down his throat, which effectively choked off the disturber amid a roar of applause from the crowd and cries of God save Ireland." A rush was made for the woman, but she was among her friends and a surging wave of thousands drove back her 'would-be assailants. One hundred and fifty policemen, in charge of Grassett, were scattered through the crowd or drawn up in files on the outskirts, but the policemen quietly folded their arms and said not a word. Two sycamore trees in front of the platform were taken possession of by a crowd of young roughs, who hissed out into the speakers' faces during the greater cart of the time, until they were shaken down. This seemed to anger the Orangemen, who knocked down one or two of the Nationalists With blows of their clubs.

The Nationalists in return used their fists very effectively. The Orangemen set up two stump speakers to talk at the same time as Mr. O'Brien. They roared themselves hoarse with frantic cheers and yells of the coterie, who shouted in derisive chorus at those on the platform, Pay your rent," Hurrah for Lansdowne," God save the Queen." The first signal to interrupt by groaning and singing God Save the Queen was given on the appearance of J. A.

Mulligan, President of the local branch of the league, as Chairman of the meeting. But he held out sturdily, as did O'Brien and Kilbride, and in the end the following resolution was passed amid an outburst of cheering flout the thousands and groans of dissent from the groups of Orangemen: This meeting of citizens of Toronto does warmly sympathize with the mission of William O'Brien, M. in Canada, and takes this opportunity of entering a hearty protest against the unjust and cruel treatment of the tenants of Luggacurran by Lord Lansdowne. This was how Mr. Mulligan began his speech: FELLOW-CITIZENS Groans and cries of "God save the Queen "i I feel it an honor tocries of "Down wita the traitor" and cheers and counter-cheerslan honor to preside at this great meeting hisses and groans to welcome William O'Brien cheering, hisses, groans, and cries of Pay your rent," Rule Britannia," and Lansdowne forever "I I will say," continued the Chairman, that these miserable wretches cheers and cries of Shut who came here to choke off freedom of speech in the name of loyalty the Queen are today the real disloyal Cheers.

It is we who are loyal, loyal to the Queen if you like, loyal to the cause of Ireland Lloun cheers, loyal to the principles of constitutional right, which is free speech. Cheers, interruptions, and shouts of God save Ireland." Here, now, is the man in whose behalf we have braved the tyranny and bigotry of the Orange rabble; here is the champion of the rights of the Luggaeurran tenantry, William O'Brien cheers and groans of United freand and member of Parliament for Northeast Cork." At this announcement a roar of applause swept over the multitude and Mr. O'Brien stepped to the front smiling. Then began the most terrific groaning, hissing, cheering, and hoarse shout; that ''the day had so far witnessed. Removing his hat with the utmost coolness Mr.

O'Brien surveyed the vast sea of faces before him for a moment. He then began amid the din and uproar to speak as follows: Men of Toronto cries of God save the Queen," "Hurrah for Lansdowne," groans, and immense cheering, that cheer of yours will ring around the world today cheers and hisses and all the vocal talent of Lord Lansuoame's friends cannot drown it. We are used to this sort of thing in the British Parliament. Loud cheers. A voice- Three cheers for Lansdowne." Groans.

hisses, and cheers. Another for O'Brien." Tremendous cheers and groaning. Here an Orangeman drew forth a heavy stick and hit a man with it knocking. him down. Thea there was a rush, caused by the prancing of the horses of the mounted policemen, and the crowd scattered in all directions, many persons rushing for the big heaps of bricks which were piled up in a field clost, by.

They came back again, nether with the bricks or not did not immediately-appear. Mr. O'Brien continued: I am glad to see that although Lansdowne has nothing to say himself he has friends who are able to say something. I Derisive laughter, cheers, and groans. We came to Canada to demand an answer from either Lord Lansdowue or his friends.

Here are his friends groans and hisses, two dozen of them groans, cheers, and cries of "Brand O'Brien whom a good policeman could knock out in a few minutes cheers if he only wanted to, and the only answer they can give for the high and mighty potential who has sent them here is cackling like geese or the graans of a jackass. Loud laughter and cheers. They attempt to choke oil freedom of speech here today. Groans and cheers. I don't blame the poor, deluded Orangemen who are making this tight today.

Here a man was knocked clown by a blow of a stick and a free tight followed among the Orangemen, who again set up a dismal howling. We today are the party of law and order, and we defy anybody to deny Cheers and groans. Several voices cried, -Brand O'Brien!" "The heart of Ireland is at your back shouted another, And the heart of Canada!" cried another. A man from the Orangemen party here in front of the platform among the Nationalists and began singing The Boyne Water." His silk hat was crushed in by those around him, and he disappeared under the platform, bruised and bloody, where he lay during the remainder of the day. The orator continued If anybody has got anything to say for Lansdowne let their best man come on this platform and I will guarantee him a hearing.

Cheers. But they are afraid groans. hisses, and cries of "God save the Queen "1 because they are in the wrong and we are bold and defiant: because we have right. truth, and justice on our side. Loud and prolonged applause, mingled with hisses and groaning.

This demonstration takes the last sod from under Lansdowne's feet. for by it he confesses that he has no better answer to our terrible arraignment than the rowdyism, blackguardism, vulgarity, and ignorance of this wretched and despicable crew. Loud cheers. Canadians demand an answer to the specific and terrible accusations we have made against Lansdowne. Au answer there must be.

or Lord Lansdowne stands condemned: an answer very different from the vague platitudes with which he tills his letter in the Toronto papers today. Groans. Refusing us the use of the public hall and boycotting us is not an answer which would satisfy the intelligent public opinion of Canada. Threatening us with violence if we dared to exercise the right of free speech on free soil is not an answer. I think nobody realizes more keenly than Lord Lansdowne today that the frothy talk of the orators at Saturday's meeting is not an answer which will save Lord Lansdowne from the condeme ation of enlightened and liberty-loving men.

another occasion I should be villing enoueh to enter into the defense or ourselves and of our great if. indeed, defense is needed at this time of day of a movement which has won the great heart and mind of Mr. Gladstone, and to which the whole energies and the whole future of the Liberal party in England are now pledged. Loud applause. But that is not toe question.

The question isand Lord Lansdowne and his friends shall not be allowed to escape from it until they have answered it. if answer it they canthe question is, whether Lord Lansdowne is carrying out a most cruel and inhuman system of evictions in Ireland rather than to yield concessions which were suggested and recommended by arbitration authorized by his own agent: anti until that issue is honestly and squarely met Lord Lansdowne and his friends are shrewd enough now, at the last moment. to berceive that his cause will be simply damned by displays of physical and intellectual rowdyism and intolerance. Applause. If the gentlemen in the Queen's Park indorsed the coercion policy of Lord Salisbury they are welcome to their opinion.

If they think that Lansdowne is a rack-renter, and has, thereby, Enthusiastic Reception in Toronto. TORONTO, May 17.Mr. William O'Brien arrived in the eity at 11 o'clock today from Montreal by the Canadian Pacific Railroad. Although the hour of setting out from Montreal was very late, midnight, large crowds accompanied him to the railway station cheering and waving their hats. He stood on the rear platform of the sleeping-car, and by the time the train made a start his arm was swollen from handshaking.

The crowd sang in excellent chorus, For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and 'God Save Ireland," in which Mr. O'Brien himself joined, and as the cars moved out from the platform he took off his hat and exclaimed, God prosper you all. God save Ireland. Then the cheers arose again. Three cheers for the American press!" was the refrain, taken up and echoed and Until those on the car could hear no more.

The depot at Toronto was reached at exagtly 11 o'clock and before Mr. O'Brien could rise les seat surging crowds who filled the platform and blocked all the passageways overflowed into the cars and the editor of United Ireland was swept from his seat and carrieu to a carriage which was in waiting. The first man to shake him by the hand was J. A. Mulligan, President of the local branch of the National League.

Mr. Mulligan is the law partner of Sir John A. Macdonald, tile Canadian Premier. The crowd was made up of most of the representative Irishmen in town, and as they passed from the cars to the carriages at the Union station, where the train drew up, the first manifestation of feeling was shown. A roar of cheers, which swelled higher and higher in volume as Mr.

O'Brien was recognized, greeted the Irish agitator, mingled with some cooing, which, however, caused only a ripple on the surface. It has been remarked upon very much, this cooing. Slight hisses have been heard now and again, but no hooting. The cooing did not seem to trouble Mr. O'Brien, however, and he passect into a clrriage with members of the amid files of policemen on foot and mounted, under command or Inspector Ward.

The police were supplied with several rounds of ball cartridges, and from under their belts the polished barrels of gleaming six-shooters peeped peeped out in ominous readiness. But there had been no need for them so far. The 'Ws-sin House is only a few blocks away, and as the party drove there the crowd increased and the enthusiasm grew greater, and the spacious rotunda of the hotel was one mass of humanity. To reach his room was impossible; to register was impossible. So Mr.

O'Brien was hoisted on the shouiders of strong men and carried to the broad staircase, and there, amid intense presented with the address by D. P. Cahill, Secretary of the local branch of the National League. During Mr. O'Brien's reply there were frequent attempts at interruption by several of the crowd cooing, but as before the overwhelming majority were friends, and their cheers sounded like a chorus.

Mr. O'Brien replied as follows, amid tremendous cheering MR. MULLIGAN AND GENTLEMEN: I assure yell that not for the first time nor the fiftieth time since I came to Canada my heart has been overflowing with gratitude for the wonderful way in which our fellow-countrymen here in Canada have steered Kilbride and myself in difilculty and trial. If we were to live a hundred years we could never forget you for it nor never forget you for the way in which you took the risks and faced the danger you had to face in siding with us. It is easy enough and cheap enough to find summer friends.

but this is a matter which tests to the core the sincerity and sympathy of our people in Canada in their love of Ireland. Cheers and applause. The old instincts of your Irish hearts burst through every difficulty and danger to be with us in our struggle in behalf ot the poor and oppressed. Loud cheers and some hoots. God bless you and God prosper you for the good will the whole Canadian people have shown cheers', for the fair play they have given me.

Renewed cheers. The more this subject is argued out in a reasonable way by reasonable men, and by intelligent and liberty-loving men. the more will the stamp of public condemnation and reprobation be put upon Lansdowne's unjust action loud cheers and some hootsl, and the sooner will the poor people of Luggacurran return once more to their humble homes' in peace and in triumph. with blessings on your heads. Loud and prolonged cheers, mingled with hoots and hisses.

Against that great and powerful man who has left hundreds of poor men, women, and children homeless far away in Ireland. in Luggacurran, loud cheers. hoots, and groans, I cannot express my sense of the way in which onr excited fellow-countrymen have behaved in this mission. Cheers and groans. If the London had its way it would be literally treason to love us and death to defend Thank God, the London jiMeS is not going to have its way hire groans for the Tintex in Toronto nor anywhere else very much longer.

Great cheering and hoots and hisses. When I speak of the heroism our people have displayed in this matter. I need not say that I do not refer to mere threats of personal violence or attacks, because I take it for granted that on this free soil of Canada at this time of the day no citizen of Canada is Koing to attempt to intimidate us by wild threats or by flourishing revolvers or by brandishing anything of that sort in our faces. Cheers and some hoots. Our countrymen in Canada have had much more serious and substantial social and political risks than that to face in taking our part and arraying themselves with us against the powerful Mildences which are against us in Canaaa today.

To add to the horror of the unfortunate Princess' case there is reason to fear she is enceinte. The Duke of Cumberland has not been allowed to visit her since she was put under restraint at Penzing.

4 1 i 1 2: The Mayor Will Not Back Down from Ills Position. There was an interestingly lively seance in the Mayor's private office quite late Monday afternoon. The circle included the Mayor, B. F. Ayer, Congressman William E.

Mason, and Edward T. JerTi ey, the three last named representing the Illinois Central Railroad. Mr. Roche was serene and smiling when the gentlemen were first admitted, and as they gazed upon his good-natured countenance they fondly imagined that he would readily comply with the modest request they had to make. After the usual courtesies had been passed Mr.

Ayer suavely remarked: I see, Mr. Mayor, that you have issued an order to the Chief of Police directing him to prevent the corporation I represent from driving piles on the lake-front down near Sixteenth streett" Yes, I recall the fact that I issued such an order," replied Mr. Roche. "Well, you don't mean to have it enforced?" asked Mr. Jeffrey, with one of his most winning smiles.

"Don't see how I can help it, gentlemen. I like to be obliging, but it's a question of the city's interests, and it seems to me I did the only thing I could." But, Mr. Mayor," interposed the Third District Congressman, your duty in this case is to annul the order and permit tne company to go ahead with its Nvork of piling." My duty." interrupted the Mayor, is to guard the city's interests. That's what I was elected for and that is precisely what I'm going to do." This was said with so much firmness and decision that the current of good feeling and accord which had coursed round the circle was suddenly reversed, signs of uneasiness were pictured in the faces of the three callers, and after a moment's hesitation all of them, as if actuated by the same spirit, ejaculated, "Well 1" This was very emphatic, and, as it afterward transpired, was simply the prelude to violent manifestations. The spirits moved the three men to vigorous and picturesque language.

Even Congressman Mason was the first to really lose his temper, and presently he bolted through the door with his face flushed and his coat-tails standing out at right angles with their normal position. He was nearly out of breath. Messrs. Ayer and Jeffrey tarried in the inner sanctum for quite a while, and it was not because they retained very admirable control of their tempers either. but for the reason that they had an idea they could actually bulldoze the Mayor into rescinding his order.

The conversation on this point was doubly vigorous and picturesque, and many very stroll adjectives were called into requisition. It was a case of one defenseless Mayor against the railroad men, but the odds were evened up, and the only violence done was to the English language. When the two gentlemen finally emerged, which they did at the expiration of an hour, both of them looked as if they had been sat upon quit(. heavily. and such, it afterwards appeared, was figuratively the case, for the Mayor flatly and empnatically refused to rescind his order.

On the contrary, he told the gentlemen it would be movie rigorously enforced than if they had remained away. It has been said that the order directed to Chief Ebersold in the Lake-Front matter was issued on the application of Mr. Shortall and other properev-owners in the vicinity of led 21. Nothing could be farther from the truth. as the Mayor himself visited the locality in question last isaturday.and satisfied himself that the company was really encrouchiug upon the citys rights.

The Illinois Central Railroad continued dumping north of the south line of Lot 21 on the lake-front yesterday. Two officers from the Harrison Street Station were present to see that no further piling was done in the outer harbor. The Lake-Front Committee met yesterday afternoon in their new quarters in the Chicago Auditorium rooms in the Opera-House Block. The committee's present business is the consideration of the evidence to be presented in the coming legal contest vrainst, the Illinois Central Railroad. nela e)It.

When he first went there his lungs were seriously affected, and his friends feared that he would have galloping consumption. Through careful nursing and living quietly in the healthiest place in England he has recovered entirely from his lung trouble.

I saw him yesterday and had a long talk with him. He is lookeug now much better than at any time since he was first prostrated in Washington, His complexion is good, the expression of his eye is bright, and hesitancy of speech is gone. Mr. Manning expects to return to New York within a short time. He, probably, will sail in the neighborhood of June He was asked if he had seen any of the reports that he had gone out of the Cabinet dissatisfied with the President.

Mr. Manning saki: "I have no reason to make any complaint aettinst the President. He has treated me with invariable kindhess and consideration.

I was beginning to run down again, and on account of my feeble condition A was unable to throw off a cold winch I caught just about that time in New lurk.

"Have you seen the report of Senator Vest's declaration concerning the President not desiring a renomination e' Yes, I have seen those reports. I dare say the Senator talked with the President some day when he was particularly fatigued Find harassed with the burden of his duties.

Then you think the President will be a candidate for renomination e' To this Mr. Manning made no direct reply. He said I can only illustrate my opinion, on that subject by letting you what I said to Vtev. Hill last tall when we were canvassing fer a candidate for the vacancy on the Court of Appeals.

You will remember that I then favored Bunts W. Peckhain, a very dear friend of mine. I was anxious to have perfect narmony in the party on this relbject and avoid any form of tines for or againet the Administration. I said to Gov. Hill 'You eecup a very influential position.

A Sixteen-Year-Old Canadian Girl Arrested and Taken Home by Her Father. DETROIT, May Florence Smith of Ingersoll, was taken home today by her father, having been arrested on the transfer ferry yesterday just as she was about to cross to the United States with a stylish Chicago real-estate agent, Henry Sharon, 36 years old.

Florence is only 16, and of excellent family. Last winter her eldest sister met Sharon while visiting in Chicago and the two had corresponded since. Sharon went to Ingersoll last Saturday to visit the Smiths. He then for the first time met Florence and in twenty-four hours the two had formed an excellent understanding. Monday they eloped.

Chief of Police Bains of Windsor was telegraphed to arrest the girl, and a detective found her locked in a stateroom in a Pullman car with Sharon, who was not arrested. She says that Sharon promised to marry her as soon as they reached the United States. Sharon disappeared before the arrival of the girl's father. Mr. Sharon is well known here.

His office is at No. La Salle street and he lives at the Leland. He left a few days ago for the East. and had not returned to the hotel last night. He is rather a striking-looking young man, with a floral face and a big blonde mustache.j John Sherman on Reciprocity with Canada.

TORONTO, May following extract from a letter to Erastus Wiman from Senator Sherman on the question of reciprocity between Canada and the United States will appear in the Canadian newspapers tomorrow: No question of greater importance in our foreign relations is now presented than this. It certainly is an object of desire to remove all existing controversies and encoul age business and commercial intercourse between the people of both countries. As to the particular measure proposed by Mr. Butterworth. or, indeed, as to the extent to which reciprocity should go and articles should be admitted free of duty in the respective countries, I do not feel justified now in expressing an opinion, for these must be a subject of negotiation between and of legislation by the two countries.

I can only say the general object sought seems to be one of the highest importance, creditable alike to both countries, and which will receive my careful and friendly consideration during the coming summer. It would be discreditaple in the highest degree for two countries having so many interests in common and natural ties of triendship and amity to have any irritation or controversy about their trade and intercourse with each other.

An Amendment to the Habitual Criminals Act AdoptedLife-Insurance Bill SPRI NGFIELD, 111., May SpeciallSenate bills on second reading were made a special order for tomorrow in the House this morning, on motion of Mr. Decker, notwithstanding the opposition from the Democratic side.

Mr. Miller of StArk called up his bill amending the Habitual Criminals act, by which all convictions are to be for the maximum of the law. A man becomes an habitual criminal by a conviction in any State, in the Union, and the ticket-of-leave is put in operation, with a life sentence for a third conviction. It had been hung up on the point of tailing to pass once and the entering of a motion to reconsider. The roil-call showed yeas 79, nays 2S, and the bill was declared passed.

Mr. White called up the committee bill for the organization of drainage districts in different counties of the State, which was read a third time and passed without any opposi: ton. Mr. George's bill to collect and publish the names of soldiers and sailors in the State came up for a final disixisition, but failed of a constitutional majority, and Mr. Merritt moved to reconsider in order to table that and kill the bill.

The motion to table failed, and the friends of the bill undertook to secure a postponement until tomorrow morning, and succeeded. Mr. Merritt cahed tp the special order. his Non-Forfeiture Life-Insurance bill, and it was read a third time and passed by a vote of 97 to S. At the afternoon session Mr.

Merritt introduced a joint resolution caning for a joint committee of nine to investigate all the work ot suppressing the outbreak of pleuro-pneumonia in Cook County, which was adopted. Mr. Green then called up the Revenue bill, and work upon the third section was resumed. All the sections up to 31 were adopted without any amendment, or much trouble, and at that point Mr. Ruggles moved to add a provision exempting notes and mortgages on real estate, but after a long debate was overwnelmingly voted down.

Mr. Johnson proposed to amend Sec. by inserting a provision requiring an oath or affirmation to all returns of personal prop-ens. and the amendment was adopted. Mr.

Blackburn also offered an amendment adding imprisonment as one of the penalties of making a false return, which was carried, Bitter Tory Comment. DUBLIN', May 17.
