Abilene, Kan., March 19 —“I «a - not understand why thereis so much interest in theshamrock St. Patrick’s day,” said Mr. Waring, the post- master here, this morninz. He spent part of last summer at ius old home in the north of Ireland. “While I was in Ireland I madea special search for shamrocks, intend- ing to bring home some specimens for friends. I asked sevéral of the natives where it could be found, but received only doubtful answers. No two of them agreed on just what sort ofa plant it was, aud none seemed to know where they were growing. Finally I was sent to the fields, where I found a small clover- like plant growing wild, something vike our sorrel. It had three leaves, aud fulfilled the general specifications of the shamrock, although much amaller than usually pictured. This I gathered and was told by the men in the village, residents of Lreland all their lives, that lL was wrong. After listening to the arguments I gave up the search and came home without the shamrocks, Since then I have been of the opin- jon that whatever way be the case in earlier days modern Ireland has not even a speaking acquaintances with its national floral emblem.” Asserted That Hearst May Cap- Mass Ones more, e dying Bishop commanded. 7 nmoning all of his strenet with his mind clear, Bishop |} arose from the bed.

Hancock and Hardin have been captured by Finley for Hearst, and Champaign and Union are solid for the conservatives. Delaware sendsa divided delegation.

(Eighteen Hundred Refugees Ar- rive at New York After Many Adventures in Crossing Frontier. GUARDS HAD TO BE BURIED New York, March 1.4.—Of the2,065 steerage passengers brought here vy the steamship Graf Waldersee and landed at Ellis Island to-day, 1,800 are Russian refugees, who fled tu es- cape being pressed into the army. According to some of those who came over, every possible ruse is be- ing resorted to in order to getacrose the frontier and escape to this coun- try. Bons have managed to escape the outposts, but the majority of those who have succeeded in getting out of the couutry accomplished their ends by means of bribery. Most of the refugees crossed the frontier into Prussia and made their | way to Hamburg, where they took | siip. | It was noticeable that, of theimmi grants, the men, with a few excep tions, areof an entirely differentclass from the usual Russian Jew immi grants which have come here. They are husky young fellows, most of them, apparently from the rural dis- tricts, and looking like farmers orla borers, Only a few of theehtireslip- load were held up on Ellis Island for special inquiry. The stories told by some of these refugees of their escape resemble the tales of the underground railroad methods of slavery days, by which ruraway blacks were aided to make | th ir way north. Alexis Kaplan, a young driver, waiting in the railroad-room at Elis Island to-day for time to take a western train, told the story of his escape with five others from his vil- lage.
