PUBLIC OPINION. ‘VIEWS’ OF ‘AN‘INDEPENDENT. ‘To the Beitor of Ths Chicago Tribune. PALMER House, Cuicaco, Feb. 24.~What are the Republican’ managers going to do with the “ Independent voters” if they nom- inate Grant on theirticket at the coming Convention? Grant’s Administration caused more Republicans to vote the Democratic ticket than any other issue between the par- ties at the last election, Is it expected they will vote to replace him in the Presidential chair? The only issue between the two par- ties to-day is, one isin power and wants to continue to hold the reins of Government, the other is out of power, and wantsto “ get in”! Weare naturally Republicans,—why, we cannot explain; butif Grant is the nomi- nee of the Republicans we can casily give a reason for casting our vote for the Democratic nominee, whoever he may be. We should like to have the pleasure of keeping in the company of our neighbors and voting the Re- ublican ticket if the nume of James G. Blaine is at its head! This man_has in- spired as much confidence in.the minds of the people as a statesman sg Sheridan has as a General, and it is a statesman that we want for our next President. INDEPENDENT. WANTS TO KNOW. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, - Cucaco, Feb. 25.—Has Mr. Blaine ever ters, or_given any public explanation of them? How is it that the silver men are for Grant, when there is no doubt of his being a goldite? These things puzzle a looker-on almost as much as that there should be any doubt that Mr. Washburne is by all odds the most available candidate. W. D. Grsson. RAILROAD VOTE.

Lonpon, Feb. 25.—The Standard says: The Home-Rulers, at an adjourned meeting, decided not to propose a direct negative to Sir Stafford Northcote’s resolution against, obstruction, but to allow the debate on the main, question to be conducted generally by the English and Scotch members. The Home-Rulers will content themselyes with insuring the continuance of the de- bate for three days, reserving their strength for the subsequent discussion on the several amendments, notably. that of Dillwyn, Liberal member for Swansea, as to the expediency of introducing such resolu- tions in the last session of Parliament, which ‘is expected to receive-a large measure of Liberal support.

PARLIAMENT. The Times, in a leading article, says there is no reason whatever to sty jose the Gov- ernment intends to dissolve Parliament be- fore the work of the present session is fin- ished, unless clreumstances prove too strong for them, but dissolution can hardly hap- pen if the Opposition join hands cordially with the Government to give effect to Sir Stafford Northcote’s resolutions against ob- struction. i IRELAND. NOTES OF DISTRESS. . Special Cable, ~ Lonpos, Feb. 25.—Galway now heads the list of distressed counties, and countless are the unhappy stories that come from within its borders. A‘correspondent on her Majes- ty’s gunboat Goshawk, which is distributing meal among the westernIslands, writes from Tnnistlark, off Galway: ‘It is a terrible State of affairs. Fifty families here eke out a miserable existence. Their houses. are small heaps of dirty stones. Their land is rock and soft bog. . Hunger and want are everywhere visible. ‘The people go naked and without food. Muny are slowly starving to death. Such scenes of appalling destitution I never before witnessed. Every step we took brought before our view new and more fearful pictures of destitution and suffering. The morewe saw the more certain did death from starvation appear the inevitable’ fate of nearly every man, woman, and child on the island. Gaunt, thin, and pale were the faces of the men, who were naturally of herculean build. The features of the women and children were overspread by the ghastly pallor of hunger. In many cabins children crouched shivering and almost naked around the fire. When I entered they sprang behind their mother, whose singte garment—a thin dress—was but the slightest protection against the wind which blew through the broken, roof, On the fire was the ;dinner, a pot of brown green seaweed. “It is certain that, un- less they are well -cared for, dozens will die of starvation.” . - The same correspondent. from Innissbaffen, speaks concerning the shocking“ inai-admin- istration on the part of the officials there. ‘The Government dispensary. officers had no drugs, and relleving ‘ofticers no food,.-One woman at least had died in consequence. ee Poor ay Inspector had not visited the ior three years. --- Stine Mansion House Committee to-day dis- tributed $40,000. If the distress lasts till Au- gust, the distribution at.the same rate would require £184,000. RUSSIA: TUE CZARINA SINKING. Cable Special to The Tribune. Sr. Petrerspunre, Feb. 25.—The Czarina is reported unconscious and approaching disso- lution. THE EMPEROR WILLIAM in writing to the Czar his congratulations at the latter’s escape from death at the time of the explosion in the Winter Pal- ace, attaches great blame to the Russian police for disregarding the warning from the Berlin police that such an act was contemplated by the Nihilists. - . “ _ SASSYLITCH. It is reported that Vera Sassulitech has been seen in this city. TOE COUNTESS HENDRIKOFF. Special Cable. P b Lonpon, Feb. 25.—A St. Petersburg cor- respondent telegraphs to-day the reasons which led to ‘the banishment ° the ‘Countess Hendrikoff. This lady, the. wife of. one of the Masters of Ceremonies at the Imperial Court, was recently ‘administratively ” hurried across the frontier without a moment’s warning. The measure excited no little surprise at the time. The Countess was well known in ‘St. Petersburg society, especially for her off-hand manner and free speeches, and* it was sus- pected that she had been guilty of expressing herself too freely on attairs con- nected with the Imperial household. It now appears that the Countess did express herself to the effect that in case the Empress should die the Emperor would in all proba- bility marry the Prinzess Delgerenki. This remark having been reported to the Czar, he at once ordered the Countess to Jeave the Empire within twenty-faur hours, To make sttre that these orders were carried . out two officers were sent to escort the lady across the frontier.

King Alfonso is an ardent sportsman. He has inherited a double share of his grandfather’s predilec- tions ‘for “the chase, and when there is. no bullfight to be had within the city gates, his horn may- be generally heard winding among the thick forests round Pardo Castle. It seems that yesterday he was in pursuit of more ignoble game. He was on his way with @ numerous following to witness a battle at Casa De Compo. The keepers of the Royal forests were beating tha coverts and the birds were darkening the air with their startled flight, when the report of a gun was heard in the distance. It attracted little note at the time, and the Royal party were quietly wend- ing their way home when they learned that a keeper’s gun had been ACCIDENTALLY DISCHARSED, and alad who was assisting him had been killed fustantly. The -Madrilenos were not content to take this story as it stood. A thousand rumors fied around the town. It was another attempt to murder the King. The assasin had been struck down by a faithful keeper. The keeper had been ennobled on the Snot, ea and Alfonso was now seriously deci that his only chance of safety lay in abdication, That was the story that passed from inouth to mouth, gathering embellish- ments as it went. The Cortes had scarcely met this afternoon when Admiral Pavia de- manded that the truth should be made known. Premier Canovas Del Castillo thereupon re- lated the facts briefly as they happened, and gave an absolute deniaf to the rumor that the accident had occurred in the boy be pres-" ence. ‘This has in a measure allaye: citement. = OTERO GONZALES. Meanwhile the real plotter against the King had learned his fate. Otero Gonzales was yesterday informed that his sentence was confirmed by the Court of Appeal, and that he was to die by the garrote. The Judge of the Appellate Court, the coun- sel for the detense and the public prose- cutor were escorted by the Governor to a parlor in the House of Detention. Otero Was brought into their presence, draggin; his.irons painfully behind him, His counsel approached, told him briefly that one more hope was gone, and exhorted him not to despair. Otero replied with a slight gesture of indifference. Then the Judge broke the seals of a document which he carried, and proceeded to ‘ RED THE SENTENCE of the Court. Otero listened unmoved. At times he winced when the chain galled his the ex: ankles. . Otherwise he betrayed no im- patience. at all. . He quietly ~ took the pen that “-was anded to him,-and signed ‘the sentence in a boyish hand.. He remarked that he expected this decision. His brother and sister visited him in the afternoon, and he intrust- ed to them a letter to his mother in Galicia. In six days the Court will pro- nounce the legal validity of the sentence, and the Council of Ministers will make a final decision before Holy Week. It is the general belief that the judgment will be ex- ecuted during the coming month. SENTENCE CONFIRMED, To the Western Associated Presa, Mapnip, Feb. 25.—The Court of Appeal has confirmed the setitence on Otero, the would-be assasin of the King. A final ap- peal will be made to the Court of Cassation. The Royal tribunal has confirmed the sen- nce, FRANCE. | OPPOSITION TO THE SURRENDER OF HART- MANN. | Special Cable. | Panis, Feb, 25.—France declines to extra- dite Hartmann unless his complicity with the Moscow attempton the Czar’s life is fully proven, La Frunce, in discussing the Gov- ernment’s consent to the extradition of Hart- mann, if his connection with the Moscow gunpowder plot ean be proven, says; . “It will disappoint public expectation; that the country might have understood Hartmann’s expulsion from -French territory, but willbeunable to under- stand his extradition. “At this moment,” says La France, “there are residing in En- gland, within ten hours’ journey of this Capital, a number of Frenchmen who are not only suspected, but have been tried and convicted of crimes worse than that =o of )3=s Which = Hartmann is accused of merely attempting,—some of the murderers of the Archbishop of Paris and of Dominican and Jesuit priests. Those blood-stained sontanes hang to-day in the relic-room of Notre Dame, and the assasins are residing in peace and satity, in London, and our Government has not dreamed of de- manding their extration.. Is republican France to be less a protector to political refugees than monarchical England? If the man JIartmann is a conspirator who has sought the protection of our country for the purpose of carrying on plots against a Gov- ernment with which we are at : peace, the Gov- ernment might rightfully conduct hh to the frontier, and order him not to return, But we do not understand, and the country will not understand, upon what grounds the Government can rightfully deliver up this man to a Power which accuses ‘him of an oftense which, at its worst, was only an at- tempt to precipitate a political revolution.” SENATORIAL. To the Western associated Presa, Panis, Feb, 25.—The Republican Left has seleeted Albert Grévy candidate for the life Senatorship made vacant by the death of Cremieux, GERMANY. RUSSIA’S FOBTIFICATIONS, Benxi, Feb. 25.—The North German Ga- zette publishes an authoritative letter reply- ing to its article on Russia’s fortifications on her western frontier. The writer declares that the fact of a State fortitying its own frontier does not necessarily betray hostility towards its neighbors, but shows a mere de- sire to guarantee its own security, VARIOUS, HEAVY RANSOM. Loxpox, Feb. 25—The Greek’ brigands who captured Col. Synge and wife fix the ransom at £4,000. THE ARGENTINE’ CONFEDERATION. The Minister Resident of the Argentine Confederation has a telegram stating that the election of a new President is considered settled in favor of Gen. Roca.

CASUALTIES. : A TERRIBLE AFFAIR. Special Correspondence of The Chicago Trikune, NEceDan, Wis., Feb. 24.—An occurrence of startling charactér was narrated to me to- day. About eight miles southeast of this place, near what was in ante-railroad times -“Carmen’s Ferry,” on the Wisconsin River, in the Town of Germantown, lived an old couple from. whom the ferry was named— Carmen. On Tuesday night fast their house caught fire in the roof. ‘The old gentleman, in climbing to the roof to extinguish the flames, fell to the ground and was injured to such an extent.as to render him helpless. His wife brought out a feather-bed and some Jit- tle clothing, all she could secure from the now rapidly burning house. She dragged her hysband upon the bed, and. then started to go to the nearest neighbors (about a mile and a half away) for help. When. about half way she slipped and fell, hurting herself so badly that she, ! to. too, was helpless, and, during the night, } froze to death. There were no children in the family, so that the old folks lived alone, a mile or more from the traveled road, and a view of their house was shut off by inter- yening trees, All these things rendered_the old man’s plight most pitiable indeed. He lay from the time of the burning, Feb. 17, until Sunday morning, 2d, when sone of the neighbors’ boys, together with Mr. Philbreck and Mr. Peaslee, went where the old man lay, coming across in their journey the remains of Mrs. Carmen (not before found). The old man’s legs were frozen above his kness. He would undoubtedly have perished had not one of his hens laid -an egg each day within reach of his hand. This kept the breath. of life in the man’s body. Hissituation, after learning the fate of his wife, was pitiable in the ex- treme. He will undoubtedly die. Later—Since writing the foregoing I find Mr. Carmen is about 80 years old, and_ his wife was about the same age. They lived, however, on the east side ofthe Wigconsin River at the mouth of the Roche-a- Rock Creek, in Adams County. Mr. Carmett lived where he was lately burned out for the past twenty-seven years. He has been a member of the County Board. He is likely to recover, so later advices indicate, A. E.

The Chinese Troubles Assume a Decidedly Serious ! Aspect. Outspoken Resolutions Adopted by a Workingmen’s Meeting. The New Laws Must Be Enforced, and the Chinese Must Go. Action of the City Authorities in Increase ing the Police Force Denounced. ‘A Sanguinary Struggle Probable in the Event ef Any Overt Act. San Francisco, Feb. 25.—This. forenoon W. T. Coleman hada long conference with Mayor Kalloch. What passed between them is yet unknown. Subsequently Kalloch and the Ward Presidents of the Workingmen held a meeting, which was also private. This afternoon the Ward Presidents, Kalloch, and a number, of . representative men of the Workingmen’s Protective Club held a meeting at- the headquarters of the party on Market street, Kearney presiding. Resolutions prepared by the party leaders were “presented. The preamble recited the action of the Board of Heaith in declaring China- town a nuisance. ‘The resolutions pledged every exertion to preserve quiet and good order, and render any assistance in their power'to the Board of Health in carrying out the work; advised the cessation of street processions in view of the. encouragement afforded by the action of the Board referred Areport is said to have been received to the’ effect that the police and certain other parties were * HOLDING SECRET MEETINGS to concert violent mecsures to resist the enforcement of the law against the Chinese. Fear was expressed that the same rash coun- sels might prevail which before resulted in the attempted assasination of the Mayor. The meeting denounced the increase of the police force, and the resolutions closed as follows: 7 Resolved, That we deprecate and denounce any Jawless re from any source whatever, and declare ourselves unhesitatingly and un- reseryodly in favor of a peaceful process as the ae and speediest solution of all our diffi- culties, Resolved, That while we digcountenance all Jawlesness and warn our friends among the workingmien against it, yet we wish it under- stood and give deliberate notice that on the Perpetration of any outrage upon any of our friends or leaders, or'the employment of any police or other force to interfere with the pence- ful operation of the Inw in tho abatement of the Chinese nuisance, or any accession to tho in- famous demands of the craven Chinesc Consul, ‘Mr. Bee, for foreign military interference, wo are ready to ussert and malatain cur rights, avenge our friends, and visit upon the low desizning minions of power, bucked up though they may be by cowardly capitalists and -corporations, punishment so swift and terrible that the reader of history will shudder at the record. We have. kopt the peace. We intend to keep the peace, but we are not to be tritted with. The law must be obeyed. The Chinese past go We know our rights, and, knowing, dare maintain them. ‘ MAYOR. KRALLocit spoke to the resolutions, saying in substance that they embodied his views. He stated that Col. B. Lioyd Tevis and others met at the Palace Hotel last uight, when Bee made nore foolish speeches than ever Kearney did. He continued,“ I said_to one of those men to-day thatif [had a thousand lives 1 would guarantee. them, and the lives of m: children also, that the workingmen : woul not be the first to break the peace... What they want is work and their rights. They are willing ‘to wait for a peaceable solution of the agitation. I know there is a_good deal of excited feeling in this city. We are not excited, however; the alarm is among the capitalistsand the people who do not under~ stand us, It, however, behooves every work- inginan to be careful in his speech, his con- duct, and example. It isa bad thing to have trouble in a large city like this. ‘There are none of us who would not rue the day when catastrophe was brought on San Francisco. hope there will be no inflammatory speeches.” In conclusion, the Mayor sald: “In these resolutions everything is conservative and peace-keeping. think we are doing well. {gave the men who marched in procession Gad-speed, and told them to cry aloud until their cries were heeded, but I do advise, under existing clreumstances, and in view of the excited public feeling, that there be a cessation of marching for a few days. The continuance of | processions may interfere with the plans for providing work for the unemployed.” ‘The resolutions rere unanimously adopted: | During the meeting of the Ward Presidents a large mass-inecti a was going on at the Sand-Lot. The speeches were to a consider- able extent an exemplification of the matter contained in the above resolutions. EMPLOYMENT. The Committee of the Chamber of Com- merce, having made some ingulries, have de- cided to raise funds sufficient to employ sev- eral hundred men on the sea wall, park, or some other public work, atadollara day. It is believed that from 500 to 1,000 men wil ac- cept work at that rate of wages, REARNEY. : At a mecting of the Eleventh Ward Club Workingmen last evening resolutions were adopted premising that there was an attempt, to be made to prevent the condemnation of Chinatown, and that, being law-abiding citi- zens, they would defend with their lives, in enforcing the law, and offer 1.000 armed men to aid the Government in carrying out its provisions, Speaking to this resolution, Kearney said he had been informed from a reliable source that a secret movement ison foot to crush the anti-Chinese crusade, the Chinese Six Companics and some of the merchants being the instigators, and. the Police Department and National Guards the tools; that the ene- mies of the workingmen were to inaugtrate trouble. by. starting a fire or a row, then Kear- hey and the atayor were to be assasinated by olicemen in the disguise of Chinese High- landers, and the Chinese, armed to the teeth, are to be let loose to massacre_men, women, and children, selecting the laboring popula- tion of the city as their victims. egarding the case now before the United States Circuit Court, involving the constitu- tionality ofthe law forbidding corporations toemploy Chinese, we would accept no de- cision but thatof. the people, and they say ““The Chinese must go.” He would leave a list of names of persons that must be guillo- tined in case he was assasinated, as his as- sasination would bea blow at every work- ingman and woman in the civilized world. Tie announced that to-morrow the ward Presidents, Mayor, and workingmen, and city officials would meet at the headquarters of the party. The purpose was not stated. DANGER OF A CONFLICT. Concerning the present condition of affairs, it may be said that there is some danger of 3 conflict, on account of the fears of both par- ties. The workingmen profess to believe that there is an organized effort about to be made to resist by force of arms the enforce ment of the laws and the ordinances recent- ly passed, and claim to be the par- ty of law and order. Among the business class there & tendency is to accept the violent and incendiary language of the workingmen’s orators at its face value, and to fear some overt act di- rected against Chinatown or employers of the Chinese. There ts also a strong feeling of impatience, anger, and disgust at the pro- tracted and threatening character of this agitation which has almost paralyzed the business interests, reacting upon {ts sup- porters, and the sentiment is frequently ex- pressed that rather than suffer a continuance of the evil; it would be preferrable to have it out at once and forall, and the sooner the tter. ‘The workingmen’s leaders. evidently have no desire to precipitate a conflict, and their action to-day indicates that their policy is rather to keep the agitation just at suc! point as falls short of violence, yet suf- ficently threatening to induce acquiescence in their desires. ‘This line of action is dangerous in view of the excited stateof the public mind, and may-result in provok tn the other side into some svtion that will bring about acollision. Indeed, that is perhaps at present the greatest source of danger. es IRISH RELIEF IN CHICAGO, ‘The work of counting the money and tickets ~~ | received at the Exposition Building Monday | evening was be; ‘| the following in at the Hibernian Bank yesterday.‘ Little progress was_masle, how- ever, owing to the fact that those who re- ceived tickets have not all reported as yet.

THE FRENCH OPERA. ‘The performance of “Mme. Favart™ by the Freuch troupe Tuesday evening called out a yery small audience, notwithstanding that thé opera is a new one, having been done here on but one occasion before, by the Afmeo troupe, and is one of the brightest and moet at- tractive of Offenbach’s later works ina musical way, besides offering excellent opportunities for humorous action, which were improved in 3 Very genial and rollicking way by- Marié,_ Raphael, Juteau, Jouard, and Mezieres. The part of the heroine, in fact, was the best personn- tion Marié bas yet given us, and stamps her ns an artist of very versatile comedy ability. Her reception was very enthusiastic, and she re ceived several hearty encores curing tho pr ress of the work. Her ussistance was unusual good, and though much cannot be said of the sin; , the performance was enjoyable for its dash and spirit, and the hearty vivacity with which all the principal artists entered {nto their work. Last night “Les Brigands” was given,— Capoul being the Falvaca ype, Angele the Fragoletto, and Gregoire the Fivrella. ‘Lhe opera js not as tuneful as some other of Offenbach's Productions, but it is very sprightly in action, and full of opportunities for ludicrous effects, which Cupoul, Berietet Dy Duplun and Mezieres, iimpros to a creditable extent. Gregofro's voice is altogether too weak for the part of the heroine, but she used it reasonably well, and sang * La Paloma "—Aimée's old favorit—with considerable expression.
