OUR IRISH AM ERICANS. hnlf of your country's right. To the native parliament it is due to truth and history and acknowledge that it was those patriotic and brilliant efforts which made Mr. Gladstone's action possible and showed the liberal party of England the necessity of undoing the wrong inflicted upon Ireland when it was reduced to provincial vassalage.

IN SESSION. The Convention Proving a Very Satisfactory One. TRADES UNIONISTS AND KNIGHTS. A Probable Solution of the Difficulties Existing Uetween Them Arrived at More Murders Committed by the Apaches Annual Session of Good Templars Sale of Short Horn Cattle General News, Etc. The K.

ofL. Convention. Cleveland, May 25. The general assembly of the Knights of Labor whjch began its session here to-day is indeed a very close corporation. Everything is done in secret, and all the proceedings come to the newspaper press through a committee of Knights appointed for that purpose.

The first meeting opened at 3 o'clock and closed at 8 o'clock. At 4 o'clock the general assembly took a recess for the purpose of giving Mrs. Mary A. Wood-bridge, recording secretary of the National Woman's Christian Temperance union, an opportunity to address them. Edward Norton, a manufacturer of Chicago, read a paper on the subject of the formation of an employers association to be known as tha American Manufacturers' union.

The object of the union is to treat with labor unions on all questions arising between employers and employes. The conference between the committees composed of trades unionists and Knights of Labor was highly satisfactory. The trades unionists presented the plan adopted by them in Philadelphia for a solution of the difficulties existing between the two orders. The plan will be submitted to the general assembly for ratification. The general assembly to-day accomplished nothing save the appointment of a press committee and a committee on credentials.

Apaches at It Again. Kansas City, May 25. The Times Tombstone, Arizon special says Bob Lloyd, a well known dairyman, was killed to-day one half mile north of Mescala station on the bouthern Pacific railroad between Benson and Pantonica by a band of hostiles that appeared yesterday in the San Pedro valley. The recent hot pursuit has broken the hostiles into numerous small bands which are thought to be making their way toward the San Carlos reservation. It is hinted in army circles that should they elude the soldiers and reach the reservation the queston of disposal of them will be settled summarily and a sensation developed.

ONE INDIAN KILLED. Pontano, A. May 25. A party of Mexicans struck the Indians about eight miles from here last night and killed one. The remainder fled to the mountains.

The Elmwood Herd. Junction City, May 25. The sale of short horn cattle from the Elm-wood herd of Cin Gifford Son was held at this place to-day. It is pronounced by cattlemen in attendance to be the best sale made this season in the United States. Nineteen.

2-year-old heifers sold at an average of $273.50 and nine bulls averaged $182.75. The total sales were $6,980. One heifer sold for $755, another for $200, another for $470 and another for $400. A large crowd of buyers was in attendance and on certain animals the bidding was quite spirited. The purchasers live in the counties of Davis, Riley, Clay, Washington, Wabaunsee and Osage.

Cora Lee. Springfield, May 25. Cora Lee, indicted for the murder of Mrs. Sarah Graham, was arraigned before Judge Gerger of the circuit court to-day and entered a plea of not guilty. For one just recovered from typhoid fever and under such a grave charge she looks and bears herself well.

She was taken back to jail where Mrs. Emma Molloy visited her this afternoon. It is understood her attorneys will want the case tried at the next term of court. American Church Congress. Cleveland, Ohio, May 25.

The Amercan congress of churches convened at music hall this afternoon. The general management of the congress is in the hands of a council of 25, in which the various churches of America are unofficially repiesented. It aims by holding public meetings from time to time to make provision for a full and frank discussion of the subjects on which the Christians of America are interested, including these eclessastical and orthologi-cal questions upon which Christians differ. Good Templars. Richmond, May 25.

The thirty-second annual session of the grand lodge of the order of Good Templars met here to-day in the hail of the house of delegates. Right Worthy G. T. John B. Finch, of Nebraska, presided.

He submitted his report showing much active and aggressive work had been done during the past year. The Spring Circuit. Wichita, May 25 The third meeting of the spring circuit of the Southern Kansas trotting association began here to-day with a good attendance. The weather was exceedingly hot, J. Smith of St.

Louis, Affliction, won the 2 :50 trot, and Mr. Anderson, of Hiawatha, Minder, won the 2 :30 trot. Some Important Statements ol Col. Grabowskli. Lawrence, May 24, 1S8G.

Editor Daily Journal article in your issue of the 23rd, upon the opposition the Superintendent of Haskell Institute is meeting with in certain quarters, places the matter fairly before your readers, except when you evidently are mis informed, and that article has in the main my assent. 1 appreciate uie cordial re ception given me by your community at the outset of my official functions here, and have endeavored to return the courtesy by cheerfully doing all ie my power for the material interests ef Lawrence, by placing and keeping the bulk of the appointments here amongst its citizens or those of the State, and by closely devoting myself to the interests of this institution, thereby assisting in securing its permanence and ultension. Whether an officer, more skilled and taught in Indian management, would have succeeded better is not for me to say suffice li that I had giyen nearly twenty years of my life to the educational profession, securing professional endorsements which I am am sure were the main reason for my unsolicited appointment. Permit me further to state, that Just such an investigation as you deem jnst and right, had been repeatedly asked of the proper authorities by the superintendent, from the yery incipiency of the attack made upon him. To press this matter, he has gone farther than this and laid before the department all of the articles so unjustly pub-1 ished against him.

This demand for a rigid examination would doubtlessly have been acceded to by sending a special agent, had not the regular routine of duty brought an Indian inspector of high standing in the service to the institution. After a three day's close scrutiny of this institution, its discipline, efficiency school work and being so thoroughly posted upon every supposed fault in the administration here by unfriendly parties in Lawrence, that he returned and gave another day to the examination of these matters, the inspector felt Justified in assuring the superintendent of this institution's high rank in efficiency amongst the United States Indian Training schools. Yet this superintendent felt annoyed that parties, even when aware of these matters, should still continue an unseemly attack and he asked for action by the department. The superintendent, valuing the good opinion of his fellow citizens of whatever political creed, surely violatPS no official decorum in extracting from a letter of United States Civil Com missioner Oberly, of May 8th, '86. "I hope you are prospering and I am sure the school is.

Under your management it has been much improved and I have no doubt you will make it the model Indian training school of the country." (Col. Oberly was till lately the superintendent of Indian schools.) Under May 12th, '86, a department letter signed by the highest official of the Indian office, General Atkins, states "1 have no information of any such difference of opinion, nor did I direct the board to make any such investigation." (I had stated that the superintendent of Indian schools and the superintendent of Haskell were supposed to "differ in opinion" upon a point ot action taken in reference to a former officer of this institution.) "The superintendent of schools has frequently expressed his approval of the management of affairs at Haskell Institute; the Indian Office has every reason to believe that it is efficient; no Board of Visitors nor any other body of men has made charges against you personally or as Superintendent, and no one has been instructed to investigate you or your school. Therefore, I see no reason for any further action or correspondence on the subject." The date, May 12, '86, and after the Inspector's report must have been made, since our books are marked, "Inspected and found correct," on May 4, '86. With you I feared that this "agitation concerning the fitness of the head of the institution might affect its prosperity," but am pleased to be able to state that our present number of pupils is as large as I dare carry through the heated term" with present facilities and that there is appearance that the large additions, provided for in the Congressional appropriation bill, will be fully heeded in the fall. With every sensible man I dislike a newspaper controversy, and took up pen only in self defense and to show to an unprincipled adversary that I neither respected nor feared him.

One good thing has been accomplished if a bad political influence has received even a temporary check. So far as the superintendent of Haskel institute therefore is concerned he can and is willing to stop. He is also ever ready to be convinced in matters of policy, appointment, the distribution of the government patronage, all by fair arguments, but will not hold the position for a day if it is to be held at tne price of submitting to either individual or party dictation. Very truly yours, Arthur Grabowskii. Choice eating potatoes 50c per pushel at Hermann Hase.

A Novel Feature In Investments. The whole country after having undergone a period of depression is now asking itself, what business has least been affected and uninjured?

THE GREAT PREMIER ENDORSED. The Irish and American Citizens Pledge Their Continued Support to Their Kindred Countrymen In Ireland The Tory Press Denounced Cable Mes-toParnell Commending Gladstone's Irish Policy. Chicago's Home Rule Meeting. Chicago, May 25. Ten thousand citizens of Chicago in mass meeting assembled on Tuesday evening May 23, 188G, with His Excellency Richard J.

Oglesby, governor of the state of Illinois in the chair, unanimously declare That the people of Ireland have their heartfelt sympathy in their endeavor to secure the restoration of the native parliament which was taken from them by bribery and fraud. Residents of a free nation, enjoying the blessings of self government, we profoundly sympathize with every liberty-loving people who are denied the privileges we enjoy, and who aspire to the freedom under which we have so phenominally thrived. We congratulate the Irish people on the capacity, the courage, the Jidelity with, which their great leader and his brilliant and patriotic associates have prosecuted their nation's cause. A people who have maintained such discipline, such order, such unaniminity in a struggle against odds so terrble; who have been the victims of threatened famine which was only averted by the devotion of their kindred and the generosity of their friends of all nationalities; who have closed their ranks and preserved their line of march, even while their commanders were thrust into jail; who have spoken and written in behalf of liberty when free presses were suspended and free speeches were suppressed, must have in them the qualities upon which a pure soul and free political fabric can safely rest. We condemn as unworthy of our age and civilization the unholly attempt to array brothers and fellow citizens in hostility agianst one another because of religious differences.

Iri3h political grievances should not be looked at through creed spectacles, and we believe the minority in Ireland have no reason whatever to doubt the perfect good faith the majority who declare that the civil liberty of the nation will be guarded jealously and impartially, and that every creed will be safe in its property, its worship, its privileges and its rights of every character, whether its numbers be great or small. The nation whose most beloved political idols include an Emmet, a Fitzgerald, a Davis, an O'Brien and a Martin, all of the religious minority, and whose present leader is Protestant Parnell, has not in its composition the elements of class or creed proscription. We assure the great English premier that the crowning act of his political career has won for him the respect and admiration of the American We congratulate him on the conscience and the courage which guided and strengthened him in the face of taunts and insults to confess the errors of his country in her past relation with Ireland, and to lead it into the path of reparation and justice. The present parliament may reject his measures. He may not live to see its fruits enjoyed, but his name will alwajs be associated with every progressive step which the future shall record in the history of the oppressed and plundered people of Ireland, and in the onward march of the democracies of England and Scotland he will always be remembered in his relations to the liberty of Ireland as Chatham is remembered in his rela tions to the liberty of America.

The Irish and American citizens assembled pledge their continued support to their kindred until Ireland's own parliament shall be established with power to restore Ireland's commerce, Ireland's schools, Irelands prosperity and Ireland's peace. We denounce the atrocious calumnies of the tory press which charged the Irish-American citizens of Chicago with the responsibility for the recent outrages of the anarchist element. We respectfully submit to the consideration of the American people the value of the opinions of that press. It is the same press that rejoiced when it thought the American union was destroyed. Its prejudice, brutality, its inability to report the current news of the world, its willingness to falsely accuse the Irish Americans of Chicago in order to arouse prejudice against Gladstone's home rule bill, all fairly illustrates its character.

Its future assaults upon Ireland and America should be considered for what they are worth by the American people and their press. Chicago's congratulations. The following cable message was sent from the meeting Chicago, May 25, 1886. To Parnell, House of Commons, London: Chicago citizens in mass meeting assembled request me to express to Mr. Gladstone their appreciation of services rendered by him to liberty and humanity by the introduction of his bill to restore legislative independence to Ireland; his ability to overcome prejudice; to view fairly and broadly the present natural relations of the English and Irish people, and his manifest, desire to right the wrongs and remove the dissen-tions which have caused the two islands to live in hatred and warfare, do houor not only to his head and heart, but also to the nation and the age of which he is so conspicuous a citizen and leader.

They also desire to express their admiration of yourself and your associates for your tireless efforts in be- IT Jul ffl-. MOST PERFECT MADE Prepared with special regard to health. No Ammonia, Lime or Alum. PRICE BAKING POWDER CHICACO. ST.

In this country where timber is scarce it costs a farmer no inconsiderable sum to fence a farm, and the man who invents a device for making a eace either cheaper or better than by the ordinory methods is a public benefactor. These reflections were occasioned by seeing the fence and fence machine which is on exhibition in front of Kiock's restaurant. The machine is simple and can easily be opperated by two men.

The strange part of is that the fence is woven and stretched at the same time, the machine moving along on the ground. It works so rapidly that a long string of fence can be built in a little while. When a man is done weaving his fence is up. The machine is very easy to regulate, and the operator can ehange the tension, the distance between the pailings or the size of the same at will. All kinds of fence can be woven from the fancy, yard fence to the substantial fence for the farm.

Mr. D. B. Matlock has charge of the machine here and will take pleasure in showing it to any one wishing to invest in a bargain. His advertisement will be found in another column ef this morning's Journal.

Choice eating potatoes 50c per bushel at Hermann Hase. Cole's circus will be here to-day. With it will come sneak thieves from neighbor ing cities, and, although the officers will make all possible efforts to stop the depre dations of this class, each citizen should keep a sharpllookout.

If people leave their houses to go to witness the street parade they shoule be sure that doors and windows are securely fastened before leaving. Mer chants should also be sure that their back doers are locked. A little care in this re spect may prevent serious consequences. Several extra policemen will be on duty but they cannot watch every house in town. Let the citizens help them.

About 11 o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Dinsmore's residence on New Hampshire street was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was given and the department re sponded, but what fire there was had al ready been extinguished. The fire caught from a gas jet, which burned all night and had not been turned off, the wind blow ing a window curtain into the flame. The damage done amounted to about $50.

It was a narrow escape from what might have been a disastrous fire. She Is Not Dead. It has been reported that I was dead, but I am not.
