June 11.—Speaking of the produce market to-day, the Commercial <d- rertixer says: “The bears, who have obsti- nately stood out and refused to believe the short crop reports, as well as to settle, were stunned this morning by an ad- vanced report of the Agricultural Bureau of iilinois, which leaked out the back door of the Secretary of State’s office, which appears to connect with the Chicago Board of Trade and the private offices of the bull cliques, from which it was telegraphed last night and published in this city this morn- ing. If this is really . the — sub- stance of this report, it is a most sur- prising and remarkable one, placing as it does the damage at 25 to 40 per cent greater than the same report did on the ist of May, since when there not been any seriously rable weather, to which, with chinch- bugs, army-vorms, cte., the author attributes. the increased damage. after which he act- nally goes into prophecy to say that these are buta foretaste of what the public must be prepared for between this and-a harvest month later.” LARD IS UP, partly in sympathy with bad crop reports, but the anoinalous condition of the market is seen in the Liverpool quotations of goad, sound American, butter at 52 shillings, cost ing about 10 centS per pound here compared with those of American lard _ at 54 shillings, and costing over 12 cents per pound here. Another ilustration is prov’ 1 in the price of tallow at G@O%% shillings, in place of which lard was largely used for manufacturing purposes at the same prices nearly in 187-79. ‘This trade, with that as a substitute for olive oll, is lost at current fictitious prices. ‘The ocean freight market has recovered in part from the late depression on the stimulus bf a free movement in grain of late since the prices were let down to an export basis.

Lonpoy, June 1.—A new era of Fenian scares seeins to have been inaugurated in England. ‘The latest rumor is that a number of men haye been detailed to destroy public buildings in various cities.

Jt} is noted as a curions fact that, during the re- cent troubles in Ireland, very few Fenians appeared on the scene.. When they did, they were unable to shoot straight. FORSTER’S RIDICULOUS POSTTION. “Buckshot” Forster has managed to get himself again in a ridiculous position before the country. During the squabble in the Fiouse of Commons some weeks ago he taunted Mr. Healy, the young but irrepressi- ble member for Wexford, with the violence of his speeches, and expressed his belief that Healy would not dare to repeat them in Ire- | Jand. i i THIS CHALLENGE was regarded as mean and undignified, com- ing from a Minister exercising wutocratic power. Healy, however, resolved to arswer the challenge, and, in the course of a speech made at Swards, near Dub- lin, he delivered a withering al a4 on the Government, and _— especially on Forster. ‘This speech has set all Ireland laughing at the Chief Secretary. Healy concluded by stating that he had come over to Ireland in answer to Forster's challenge, and he publicly invited Forster to cross the Channel and meet him on equal terms in France. ‘This invitation has added to the ridieulous character of the situation, as Healy is boyish in appearance and is very short-sighted. : IN PARLIAMENT. Speetal Gable. Lonpox, June 11.—Work in Parliament since Thursday, when the brief vacation ended, has been practically nil, though Mr. Gladstone relinquished part of his holiday to be present. ‘The threatened outbreak of the Parnellites has been postponed, the Jrish say, awaiting Mr. Forster’s return. it is reported that over fifty questions will be addressed hin on Monday, yelative to Irish affairs. It is believed that the Ministers are resolved to propose some form of urgency for the Land bill. It is un- certain that they will do so on Monday, but it is certain that the proposal will not be long delayed. The Dill, at the present rate of progress, would remain in committee till De- cember. Itis reported, but not on sufficient anthority, that a large number of Parnell’s supporters in Ireland PRESS HIM STRONGLY TO ABANDON ORSTREC- TION and allow the Land bill to reach the House of Lords in Jaly. It is understood that Mr. Forster’s inqui- ries in Dublin convince him of the necessity, first, of enforcing the Coercion act more rigor- ously than hitherto; and, secondly, of supply- | ing the necessary force of police and military. to enable the officers to serve legal process of eviction or other writs without inquir into the circumstances. Mr. Forster’s col- leagues, after some hesitation, recognized the paramount obligation to enforce the Queen’s authority, W hich the Land League is challenging ona Jarger scale than ever, MR. GLADSTONE’S SPEECH yesterday on the English Jand question in- dicated a readiness to accept modifications in the existing system of tenure. Ue con- demned limited ownership, put suggested important changes in the system of restric- tions on the transfer of land. He» thought, however, tliat American competi- | tion had more intluence in creating the pres- entdepression of landed property than the artificial disabilities of the owners. "The Conservatives discredit the reporte d intention of the Government to eall an au- tumm session. IF THE LORDS REJECT THE LAND BILL they insist that a dissolution is probable, and openly avow that they are preparing for the contingency, hence the unusual number of speeches of Conservative Jeaders. But neither Stafford Northcote, Mr. Cross, nor still less the smaller fry, made any impression ‘on the constituencies. IN HIS MIDLOTHIAN CAMPAIGN ‘Mr. Gladstone, with an eye on the Irish vote in the English boroughs, declared that the explosion at Clerkenwell Prison in 1867, by | which Michael Barrett and Ins fellow-con- i spirators killed twelve and lacerated \ ! t 10 innocent veople, led up to the Church Disestablishment bill of 1869 and the Land bill of 1870. Following up the Pre- } mier’s theory, the Parnell party may assert, with good face, that the attempts to blow up the Central Police Station and the ‘Town Tinll at Liverpool are simply forcible — methods of calling the Government's attention to the necessity for the prohibition of evictions. It is cer- tain, however, that these outrages are DOING EPARACLE ATM to the Irish cause. There wits a shadow of excuse for the Clerkenwell affair, and a ereat deal to be said in defense + of Allan, Larkin, and O’Brien, who killed Sergeant Brett in the prison- yan rescue at. Manchester, and Capt. Mack- ey’s attacks on the Martello Towers at Queenstown, and his raids on the gun- smiths? shops at Cork during * the 1867 troubles were laudable enough from his point ‘of view; but for the powder and dynamite affairs now occurring: there is no possible excuse. ‘The wrecking of the Liverpool!

I heard A PROMINENT TORY exclaim the other day, “O for a week of Lord Strathnarn at Cork!” His Lordship, who, as Sir Hugh Kose, won a grim reputa- tion during the Indian mutiny by blow- ing Sepoys from the cannon’s mouth, was in command of the forces in the Cork district in ° 1807, whey the Fentans of that city marched out 1,800 strong one snowy morning in Mareh,- spent a whole day in besieging four police- men in the Ballyknockane barrack, and then returned to Cork and VOLUNTEERED ALMOST EN MASSE Asked by the Castle authori- ties to report on the state of his district, the old “Bengal Tiger,” as the Corkonians dubbed hin, briefly replied that he was ready to reduce the city ty ashes at a mo- ment’s notice, aud to sweep the coun- try from Youghal to Bantry in two days. That this would be the ‘Tory method of dealing with Ireland the more bloodthirsty of their journals frankly avow. ‘The Marquisof Salisbury, who would be Premier if Mr. Glaastone were ousted, has taunted the Government for “ putting down the revolt by Quaker measures,” and how Mr. Parnell can think that his country nen woukt profit by a change of masters is known only to himself.

Mr. Gladstone is losing patience, and no wonder, EVEN THE “ SPECTATOR,” which has advocated a generous Irish policy, in season and out ot se:son for years, is dis- couraged, and in its issue to-day it exelaims in n wail of despair: “Is it any use even to attempt to benefit 2 people so irrational?” A FORMIDABLE SHOWING Some of the London papers publish to-day afortnidable list of the principal outrages ‘and disturbances in Ireland reported in the newspapers during the week. ‘The catalog includes the rioting at Limerick on the 4th inst, the disturbance at Skull in de- fense of Father Murphy on_ the 6th, the rioting at Dallydehob and Skibbereen ‘onthe ith, the attempt to apseta train fullof iroops and the destruction of the bridge be- tween Skibbereen and Skull on thesame day, the tearing up of the rails near Skib- pereen, and the destroying of telegraph wires, r Ballydehob on the Sth, the rioting at Cork on the 9th, the destruction of the telegraph lines Detween Skibbereen and Cork on the 10th, besides innumerable attacks on process- servers and minor outrages. ‘To these, must be added the Liverpool outrage. The’ ques- tion, low to meet these Tiotous risings? is asked and answered by most of the London papers to-day, ‘The answer is the usual de- mand for blood. BLOOD DEMANDED. ‘The Economist says: “The best service which the Irish Exeeutive can render to the people is to insure that whenever the law strikes it shall strike with irresistable force.” The Speetator thinks that if the rioters were invariably met by heavy volleys,and charges of eavalry rioting would cease, but it urges the Government not to be driven by the Tories into such an insanity. The Pall Mall Gazette takes the Times to task for ploodthirstiness, and says: “So far as out- rages in this country are concerned, they are much more likely to be multiplied than di- minished by a resort to dragooning in Ire- land. Surely Th EXPERIENCE OF RUSSIA should not be forgotten when violent repres- sion is advocated as an infallible specific for | the cure of a political malady which finds yent in assasination bydynamite. That isno reason for refraining from enforcing the law or neglecting to punish the guilty. But it should at least give pause to those who are pointing to bayonets and buckshot as the only method for pacification in Ireland.” ‘At the Democratic Conference, held at ‘Memorial Lall, Farringdon street, resolutions were passed by the Engiish members IN FAVOR OF LEGISLATIVE INDEPENDENCE FOR IRELAND. Mr. Cowen was to have presided, but was prevented by the Stephenson centenary at Neweastle. Mr. Justin McCarthy’s speech is ‘Attracting much attention, Ie said that | what Irishmen most wanted was a domestic Parliament.

He wanted to call their attention to the necessity of some such ar rangement as this in regard to Treland. coRK. Special Cable, Conk, June 11.—I have just returned from, a visit to the most disturbed districts in the south of Ireland, and I find the opinion Ren- erally expressed that the time between this and the passage of the Land act will be critical for the peace and prosperity in this part of tnecountry. Landlords everywhere are en- forcing executions and evictions in order to get the arrears of rent which it is expected they will be deprived of by one of the most important or Mr. Parnell’s amendments. tis * now or never” with them, and they are collecting rent at the point of the bayo- net. ‘hese evictions, coupted with the ar- rest of many popular Jocal leaders, havebeen the sole cause of the recent violent scenes. ‘AT SKULL AND SKIBLEREEN, and elsewhere. This part of the country is doubtles in a most lawless state, and has been so for months past. But the fear is that, | with the example of suecessful violent re- sistance to the law which has already been set, the people may throw legal authority entirely to the winds and resort to even more extreme measures. ‘That this resistance will ever lead to more than rioting, ne one be- lieves for an instant. ‘The people will attack any sinall body of police who are earrying: out evictions or arresting leaders, but they will disperse to their homes as soon as any large body of military arrives, and wait ; the next favorable opportunity. If this plan | is universally earried out, it will be more effective than armed rebellion. Heretofore THE TELEGRAPGS have had an immunity which was strange, for, as an Inspector of Police said to me a week ago, “‘Itis a wonder that they have not yet discovered © the telegraph as @ pieans of aggtession.”’ .‘They have now | discovered it. We shall ‘doubtless hear of much damage. to. wites .and -poles in tie more distant parts of the country. Itisa safe means of, destroying. Government prop- erty, and it is very annoying. ‘There is much Rross exaggeration in the newspaper accounts of the late riots in this country. This is be- cause the English and Irish papers are obliged to depend for their news on the small towns of Ireland on LOCAL, CORRESPONDENTS, - who generally are more than nsually clever farmers’ sons and shop assistants, whose only hope of getting telegrams publisned is that they shall be spicy and exciting. Every rumor is converted into fact, and fancifully colored. By the time the special correspond- ents arrive the mischief has been done. SIR WILLIAM IARCOUTRT promptly denounced, in the Commons, the earlier reportsof the Skibbereen riot, whicn was much less serious than it was said to be, and which’ was quelled as soon as the police arrived on the scene. ‘Mr. Shaw went to London to-day, and means to deny on Monday, in the House of Com- mons,the exaggerated accounts of the riot at Cork: the other night, He assured me that, if the police had remained at the race-course, the riot would never have been transferred to the streets of Cork, and lean testify that the chief participants were small boys of ages ranging from 10 to 12, Most of those who were arrested were youths. ‘Lhe condition of the country is too serious to allow of these exaggerations, PRISONERS REMANDED. ‘To the Western Assoctated Press, Lrverroor., June 11.—The examination of the men captured in the attempt to blow up the Town-Ilall took place to-day. ‘The pris- oners were charged with damaging a buiid- ing and with intent to commit murder, and also with laying an explosive with intent to damage a building.

Only persons having business were admitted to the court-room. REMANDED.

THE LONDON “TDIES” ON LAWLESNESS IN IRELAND. : Loxnoy, June 1.—The Times, remarking on the growth of lawlesness in Ireland. says? “ One experiment which is mostobvious and most certain to succeed remains untried. If oue mob of Fenians or Land League! whatever other title, were, just for onee not suffered to have its own way, if its appeal to foree were metand overcome, and if the mob were dispersed and forbidden to reassemble, the consequences might be happy in the ex- treme. One victory of law would be the siz- nal for others. ‘The objections to such ex- periment are obvious but not conclusive. ‘The forcible dispersion of a mob in Ireland would be certainly followed by a howl of execration from from their Parliamentary friends, and the champions of the Irish, who are silent over the injuries to the police, would be eloquent in the case we are now supposing. But the Land League would re- ceive something !Hke its death-blow, and might itself fall into the contempt with which law is now treated in Ireland.” MILUSTR Conk, June 11.—Troops lave gone to Mill- street, County Cork, where many thousand persons are expected to assembie for the put- pose of obstructing the execution of writs. ‘The troops are ordered to stop the meeting at any cost. BRITISH NEWS. A VERY TIRESOME AFFAIR. Special cable, Loxpox, June 1.—It is thought that, at Tlenley, atter the inexcusable ignorance re- specting the qualifications of the Cornell crew to enter the race as. members of a com- peting college has been cleared away, they will be allowed to enter for the Visitors’ Plate, as well as for the Stewards’ Cup. The Sportsman says: ‘The public are growing heartily weary of the Dinundering and mud- dling of the Lfenley governing bod: TUR FRENCH T have good authority for saying that the French Government will not recede from its position In reference to the proposed com- inercial treaty. By the new French tariff law it is expressly provided that all new treaties shall be based on the principle of specific as against ad yalorem duties. Under this system English goods would be practically barred out of Franee. For ex- ample, since the Cobden treaty was passed, in 1860, the French cotton and textile indus- tries have been revolutionized, and the Brit- ish manufacturer has to cut prices fine to compete with the French mills and pay the cost of transportation. With specific duties (so much per 100 kilos, instead of so much per cent on the stated value of the gouds) competition will be impossible. Sir Charles Dilke, who is a member of the Commission, professes to hope for great concessions, but there will be none, and, as the Government and the manufacturers agree that no treaty would be better than a specitic-duty one, the negotiations will be broken off and English goods subjected to the new French tariff in November next. . THE ENGLISI FREE-TRADERS think that, as one-fourth of the imports of France now come from England, the French people will cry ont against the new tariff, but it is wisdom not to offer an opin- jou wpon that point until the re sult of the general — elections in France in July is known. Meantime, the manufacturers and artisans in the Nortn continue with growing strength and enersy to clamor for retaliatory duties, and petitions are in circulation, calling upon the Lan- eashire and Yorkshire members. to at Teast ask for imports on French goods, and, by the way, one-fifth of the exports of France come to England. Retalia - tion is the one great topic of discussion in the North just now, and the agi- tation is spreading into the Liberal fastnesses peyond the Tweed. It has already reached London. When the Irish question is out of the way, the campaign will begin in earnest. It appears to be the settled policy of the Gov- ernment to reverse the policy of their prede- cessors.

Bpectat Dispatch to The Ohicago Tribune Wanrrorp, Conn., June t1.—During the recent meeting of the Society of the Army of the Potomac in this city, Gen. Nelson A. Miles submitted an interesting proposition, that is, fora general reunion of the Socie- ties of the Armies of the Ohio, the Tennes- see, the Cumberland, the Potomac, and oth- ers, next year, at the time of the proposed World’s Fair projected at either New York or Boston. ‘The only objection urged to this proposition was that the throng would be too jarge, and that there would be less social feeling than in a meeting of a single Society. Finaliy, in consideration of the urgen- cy with which Gen. Miles. pressed the matter, 2 Committee, consisting of that gentleman and Gens. Slocum and Sickles was appointed to consider the project and report to the next annual meeting. This appointment really determines the matter ad- versely, for Gens. Slocum and Sickles have no special interest in the subject, and as Gen. Miles is ordered to Oregon for two years, he cannot give it such attention as will insure success. Speaking of the next annual meeting of the Society, credit is due to Col. JN. Swift, of Detroit, that the meeting in June, 1983, is to be held'in the West. . When the matter of the place of the next annual ineeting came up during the business meeting of the Society, three places were suggested, Detroit, Brooklyn, and Stic. "The objection urged to Brooklyn Wi its size and the improbability ‘that any such general enthusiasm and cordiality of reception could be aroused as had marked the Mart- ford meeting. Utica was favored on this ac- count, but Col, Swift strongly. pressed the claims of Detroit, and backed his words by the presentation of an oflicial: invitation,— the only one offered to the Society. When he had: finished speaking, Col. oratio C. Kine, of New York, Secretary of the Society, made an earnest speech against fixing upon a Western city, on the ground that his ex- perience had demonstrated that any meeting held West of Jlarrisburg would provea dead failure in point of attendance. He claimed that the Army of the Potomac was composed. mainly of Eastern regiments, and was essen- tially an Easternorganization. Members from this section, therefore, would not attend 3 Detroit meetiaz, both on account of the ex- pense and the time consumed. The refer ence to the preponderancy of Eastern reri- qnents in the Ariny of the Potomac brought Gen. Danlel E. Sickles to his feet with the assertion that the West was largely repre- sented in that grand old army, and ‘that in his own corps, the Third, there were lifteen Teg- iments. After some further discussion, Gen. Franklin remarked to Col, King sotto voce: “TPs no use, Colonel; they’re bound to have Detroit; their eyes are sot!” Col. King sub- sided, te was tiken, and there were 57 for Detroit, $ for Brooklyn, and 2 for Utica. So the next meeting will be held in the West, Snd the veterans of that section will havethe pleasure of mee! ir old_commanders and comrades. in june, 1882. The date will be ieee by the Executive Commitice of the ety. A Funnel Hits a House Near Des Moines, la., and Ruins . tt.
