Lord Salisbury has muttered threats against it, but tho prevailing impression is that the Upper Flonse will not dare to. reject it Their rejecting, «last . year, of tha Compensation for Disturbance __ Dill was followed by the present measures, and, if they should throw itout, they may safely count on being confronted next session with amuch more radical scheme. It is quite on the cards, however, for the bill to be amended in. the Lords, although no at- tempt wHl bea made to taniper. with ‘its leading principles, * a te ge ef THE MOST IMPORTANT AMENDMENT, probably, will be one jn the spirit of that move in the Commons, by Mr. Haneage, the member: for Great Grimsby, on ‘Thursday— viz,: to exempt landlurds who have made thelr own improvements, according to tho usual English system, from the operation of the clause providing for the free sale of the tenant right by the outgoing occupier. An amendment of this kind, which would not. materially affecththe scope of tha Dill, is almost sure to be éarried in the Upper House, but, just now, the Lords are not ina humor for trifling with the behest of the Commons, NM, JOSEPH Anci, the Jeader of the agricultural laborers, wrote to Mr. Gladstone, the other day, asking when. thé Government intended to bring down 2 bill for assimilating the borough and county franchises. The Premier, in a very cour- teous add. complimentary note, replied that the bill would be postponed during the recess and made the viece de resistance for next session. The assimilation of the bor- ough and county franchise will, it fs estl- mated, increase the Radical] strength in the counties GO per cent. :¢ THE RECENT FENIAN OUTEAGES and repeated rumors of dynamite plots have given rise to great dissatisfaction at the im- punity with which such conspiracies aresaid to be hatched in New York. ‘he re- port that the Foreign _ Office will eall- the attention of your Govern- ment to -the matter is well founded, Earl Granville will contend that, to allow subscriptions to be publicly solicited for the avowed purpose of destroying life and prop- erty in this country, is an unfriendly act on the part of the American © Govern- ment, Q’Donovan-Kossa’s boast — about the gunboat Doterel, which. was at first ridiculed, Is, to some extent, confirmed by news recelved to-day, that the divers have discovered that the explosion did not origi- uate either in the boilers or the magazine, Commander Evans, who was in charge of the il-fated boat, is of the opinion that one of. the boilers exploded, and the concussion fired the gun cotton and powder of the mag- azine, but to-day’s report knocks that theory on the head, and Rossa’s story about dyna- nite having been placed in the coal-bunkers is now deemed more plausible. OTHER PROJECTED OUTRAGES have only beew frustrated by the treachery ofthe persons hired to commit them, It is sald that McKevitt, one of the men arrested for the Liverpool Town-Hall affair, has given the police a list of many dynamite agents at Liverpool and Birkerhead. CARDINAL MANNING 4s greatly troubled over these outrages. ‘Théy excite the people terribly against Irish residents here. Several mill-owners and other large employers of labor in the Liverpool district have given notice that, if any further outrages are attempted, they will be reluctantly com- Delled to discharge every Irishman in thelr employment. All who make themselves agents in such scuemes, however, received Waming the other day from Mr. Justice Hawkins, who, in the course of a specch to the Grand Jury at Chester, referred to the at- tempted outrage there, ‘that they will be punished to the limit of the law,— fe iuiprisonment,—and that any loss of life from these explosions will be avenged by capital punishinent, These frequent out- Tagesare rendering the Houie-Rulers power- Jes. They cannot complain of anything Mr. Forster may do in Ireland when it is charged that their allies are planning the wholesale nassacre of innocent men, Women, and children fu this country. Obstruction is one thing; dynamite another. THE MOST IMPORTANT POLITICAL INCIDENT she OF TUE WEEK Dassed almost unnoticed and unreported— tamely: Parnell’s virtual announcement on ‘Tuesday of his abandonment of his oppo- Sislon to the Land bill, He spoke briefly, ad- vislng Mr. Biggar to withdraw his amend- ment, declaring that nothing should be done tolnperil the passage of this gigantic measure for the benefit of Ireland, Parnell’s friends explain. his complete change of policy to his Whitsuntide visit to Ireland, when: he yered that his supporters were pcr- vlexed and irritated by his opposition, and _the peasantry were everywhere fazer” for the ‘passage of the Dill. The political advisers of the League agreed {twas tmpossibie to persist in the previ- US policy of opposition. ‘fhis produces a ereat anid beneficial change in the whole poll- Meat situanion, and dispenses for thépresent With the necessity for new measures to facili- tste ‘the: progress of the bill through the | os : MENT | REASSURES THE GOVERNMENT _ ° - ®nd relieves the strain on Parliament,” It: is now confidently expected that the biJl will ,Feach the House of Lords by the middle of ‘July.

ROYCOTT fave his name to the process of agrarian siege, the Fermanagh tenants of Lord Erne, whose Mayo agent Boyeott was, organized a Tellef party, end ter awhile the Ulster Orangemen threatened to complicate matters by taking an active part agalist the agitators, They were encouraged in this by the Lory landlords, who were anxtous to nonplus the Government, and funds to carry on this raid poured in from the lodges in England and Scotland; and even from Canada. ‘This. went on until the Land bill was brought down, and nothing more bas since been heard of the Orangemen, TUE ULSTER TENANT FARMERS, almost toa man, favor tho bill, and support the Government's {rish policy throughout. This also accounts for the Iukewarnmess displayed by oven the most ferocious ‘Lory members from that Province, in following Sir Stafford Northevte-in opposing the bill. This Week half a dozen Ulster farmer deputations: waited on the Premier and expressed their almost unqualifled approval of the measure, and some of* their afterwirds told. their representatives in the House — that, it the bill! was mutilated or rejected in the Lords, Ulster would do her best to. teach the Upper Chamber a lesson. ‘This has greatly strength. ened the Ministry, or, rather, greatly weak- ened their opponents, and whenever an Opposition member rises in, Committee with an amendment, he is put down by the argu- ment that an English Tory has no nght te object to an Irish measure approved by Lrish - Torles. : A XEW AMERICAN EAILROAD COMPANY was brought out this mornmg in the midst of the discouragement caused by a sort of panic iit New York stocks. 1t is called ‘the, Texas & Pa-- Alabama, New Orleans, cifie Railroad Company, states that the u The prospectus object of tha .com- pany is to acquire a link which must- tually connect the Atlantic cities with ew Orleans, the Gulf of Mexieg andthe Trans-Mississippi system of railroads: ‘Tho eapital asked for is £5,000,000; rather a heavy: demand atsuch a moment. The solicitors of the company were long connected with .thé Erie people. The wonder here is why the eapital should be asked for in England, and why, if it isa good scheme, some of it is not offered to the American publie, ‘This and other projects of a similar Kind are regarded with great spicion, especially at a time when established Ameri- ean stocks are being knocked up and down to suit the convenience of brokers and specu- Jators,. ‘ i AMERICAN crors, Reports. have been transmitted by cable this week: from New York, to tho affect that the crops throughout the United Statea will be very much below the average; that tlie stock on hand is. yery light, . and that you will not -have more; than enough from this year’s harvest to supply your own requirements.

Limerick, June 18—The evictions and process-servings have continued throughout the week without resistance, tha bodies of police and soldiers having been so large as to verawe even the bravest of the would-be insurgents. The most threatening of the coming evictions are some which are to occur at Mitchellstown, County Cork, where, it will be remembered, a desperate encounter was barely avoided a fort- night ago on the. orcasion of victions on the property of the Countess of Kingstown. In no part of the country are the populace more determined and reckless than here at Mitchellstown, under the shadow of the famous Gaults Mountains, where the re- bellious spirit is the strungest, aud where poverty has made TNE PEOPLE DESPERATE AND LAWLESS, Recent events, and particularly the recent encounters, have intensified the feeling of resentment toward the landlurds and the police. ‘There are no disturbances threat- ened in any otherquarter. I visited Mitcnels- town, which is a ten-mile drive from Irermoy, one of the most important military stations in ireland, The surrounding country Js very picturesque. I first called upon Father Bar- ton, a most intelligent and courteous priest, from whom J Jearned how xppre- hensive he and those interested in the safety of the people were regarding: thé next eviction day. He feared that the consequences might be very serious, for ft was almost impossible to gatirely stop the stone-thruwing. He gave ine an account of the late encounter, and believed it was only 2 imiracie that prevented terrible Dblood- shed. ‘The soldiers and police numbered 500, the people about 15,000, Many of the latter were armed. All worg in a state bordering on frenzy. Stones were showered on the police and soldiers, and only by Fa~ ther O’Connell’s appeals to the officers not to order firing, and by their united efforts to pacify the people, was a catastrophe pre- vented, J HEARD IN OTHER QUARTERS a most confident assertion that had the peo- ple been’ fired on they would have over- whelmed the suldiers by desperation and numbers, if not by arms and training. Even, Father Burton expressed tho belief that the people would have defeated the soldiers. It is certain that the next expedition to Mitehellstown will beat east 1,000 strong and composed of selected troops of pulice. Lasked Father Burtow If the ringing of the chapel bells could not be He feared not, as the people prevented, would break into tho chapels. The Land League was doing all it could to pacify the people, inducing them to be quiet, but it was impossible to prevent them from meeting. When excited those in the rear ranks of the crowd would be led to throw stones, for which those mn the front ranks would suffer if 3 a THE SOLDIERS FIRED. The League was considering the appoint- ment -of leading members as special con. stables to maintain peace and -restrain vio- lence.” I next visited Mr. Markey, who has been Secretary of the Leaguesince the arrest of the first Secretary, under the Co- ercicn act, last week. Le expressed the sume fears of w-: disturbance at the next evictions, but did not see it could be prevented if the people were as detér- mined as before. They were aware of the consequences of assaulting the soldiers, but seemed not to care for the conse- quences,. The people, wore very poor about Mitchellstown, ‘and had inade ff theland, come what might. They coula ‘die but cance. . Mr. Markey — be- Neved that if the evictions could be stopped ‘till ‘the passing of the Land pill there would be no trouble, for he thought that if the people got ‘the Land bill they would uot give thought to home-rule or national independence. ‘I also hear on gvod authority that a THE GOVEKNMENT INTENDS TO SUSPEND TRIAL BY JURY in Ireland. ‘Trials in the disturbed districts have been, as is well known, a complete mockery since the agiiation assumed the present proportions, . It has, therefore, been the custom for some months for the Crown prosecutors to ket the venue changed to Dublin, where unprejudiced juries night be secured, This method of deali th the difliculty, however, bears heavily on Dublin - jurymen,, who - for sone time have been practically — trying cases tor half of.

THE LIVERPOOL CONSPIRATORS. ‘To the Wester Associated Press. ALivenrroon, June 18—MeKevitt and Me- Grath, charged with attémpting to blow up the Town-Hall, were examined by the Gov- ernment to-day. The Proseouting Solicitor said he did not intend to go into the question ot Fenianisin, as the case would stand on its own merits. MeKevitt, he said, had denied any connection with the Fenians, but the ree-. ular delivery at his lodgings of the Irish World, with his printed address, as though he was a regular subscriber, would be proved, An analytical chemist nad ascer- tained that the bomb used in the attempt was filled with nitro-glycerine. MeGrath’s fand- Jady, he said, would prove that he (McGrath) possessed an iron piping similar to the bomb, and that he had been secretly engaged in haminering something. At the close of the evidence the prisoners were committed for trinl. MeGrath was then charged alone with causing the late ex- plosion at the Police Barrae: AT THE LAND SESSIONS, at Castle Bar, County Mayo, a tenant, named Silson, claimed £5,295 compensation from Lord Lucan for imprisonment. Lord Lucan refused to pay anything, but the Court gave a decision in favor of Simson for £2,954, Binvinayam, June 18.—The authorities here are strictly guarding the Town Hall, owing tw a warning from London.

Sullivan, counsel for the prisoner, argued at great length thatan indictment tor incit- ing to murder must refer to an actual per- sonal transaction between the defendant and some other person. It must refer to a trans- action of a nature- quite distinct trom scandal or libel, of which the defendant was convicted.

TONE OF THE NOTE. A Londou correspondent of the Liverpool Post, referring tu the report that a dispatch had been sent from the British Foreign Of fice to the American Government cailing at- tention to the operations of. the Fenians in New York, says the dispatch is of the friend- liest character. It recites varlous atrocious passages in O’Donovan Rossi’s paper, and submits that they go somewhat beyond the widest limits of-freedom of the press, but qakes no demand upon the United States as toany particular action. ARREST. Lonpon, June 18.—Mr, Cull, President of the Keadaw branch of the Land League, was arrested at Boyle, Roscommon County, and conveyed to Galway Jail. FRANCE. GAMBETTA. Speetat Cable. Pars, June 18.—Gambetta considers the rejection of the Bordeaux proposal to accel- rate the dissolution of the Chamber as a more serious rebuff than the rebutfof hisScru- tin de Liste (or Department Elections) bill.

Considering: that: fis scheme for political ascendency are indefinitly postponed, anticipating thas the next Chamber will be less ubettish than the present, and, assuming that Presi- dent Grévy is resolved not to ask Gambetta to form a Ministry unless under compulsion, which is not immediately probable, the sig: multiply that there isa widening conviction of Gambettw’s fall.

Latent, the’ editor, resigning honorably rather than acquiesce. These views Seem gloomy, duteertainly indicate the immediate impres- sions of numerous French Republicans in high position. Nobody, however, supposes that Clemenceau or auybody else is capable of assuming the authority Gambetta has hitherto wielded, and which he is likely to yield again, sooner than is now supposed. A RIOT AT MARSEILLES, Tp the Weatern Associated Press, Panis, June 18.—There was a great anti- Italian demonstration at Marseilles last night, which at one time threatened to as- sume very serious proportions. When the first detachment of troops returning from the ‘Tunislan expedition marched past the Ltal- ian Club-House sume of the Ltatians gath- ered on the steps and dt the windows and hissed, which so infuriated the French pop- ulace on the sidewalk that in a few moments there was hardly an unbroken pane of glass in the entire front of the building. Stones Hew thick and fast. CRIES TO LYNCH THE ITALIANS were frequent, and some of the mob endeav- ored to carry out this threat by chasing the members of the Club into the upper stories of the neighboring buildmgs. The mob was a well-dressed one, several local Officials being conspicuous in it. One meinber of the Municipal Council tore the Ltatiat escutcheon frum the Club and threw itinto the strest. The mob did not disperse until it had created a-general hayoe in the club-rooms, and then only with long and pro- longed cheers of “A bas Italie!” THE POLICE, who scemed to be nowhere in sight when the tumult was at its hight, arrived after the mob bad left-the club-house, and formed a guard at the door to prevent further ex- cesses, The news of the affair spread quick- ly over all Marseilles, and the greatest ex- eitement prevailed late into the night. Fresh crowds gathered in front of the Italian Club- House from time to time, all giving utter- ance to the same resentful feeling toward the Italians, ‘and ‘‘A bas Italie!’ was heard in the streets and cafés until. long past mid- night. : A DISPATCH FROM MARSEILLES, dated inidnight, gives the following version: Asthe troops just disembarked were, on their return from Tunis, marching’ through the Rue République, hisses were heard trom the Italian Natiunal Club-[ouse. A crowd, surrounded the ¢lub-house and demanded the removal of the [tal eutcheon from the building. The Commissary of Police ad- vised its removal, but the President .of the Club peremptorily refused to have it re- moved. The Prefect of Police endeavored to calm the crowd, and sent for gendarmes, but, before their arrival, the deputy Mayor anda Munleipal Councilor, in spite of the protests of the Prefect, tore down the es- euteheon. The crowd was afterward dis- persed, and the approach to the club-house was occupied by troops. FA THE TUNISIAN PREMIER, Mustapha, has arrived here.

SPAIN. POOR CUBA. Srecial Cable. Manni, June 18.—The latest intelligence from Havana lias caused a painful sensation among the Cubans and Liberal Senators and Deputies, who have been always friendly to Senator Sagasta and Marshal Campos, hop- ing that they would reverse. the reactionary policy of Setior Canovas in:the West Indies. Gen. Blanco has not only obtained leave from the Sagasta Cabinet to prolong the regulations inflicting corporat punishment on slaves, but he has prosecuted and ob- tained from the Press Tribunal sentences of twenty-one weeks against the Economical Revista, and twenty days against the Eco de Las Villas, and has institued a new prose eution against El Triunfo. Allthis severity is grounded on the fact that these ORGANS OF CREOLE LIBERALISI. had defended the ideas of automy, of aboli- tion, and of self-government for the Colony under the tlag and supremacy of the mother country, However, this policy of the General and Home Government has caused suet dis- gust and discontent among the Colonial Lib- erals that they write to their representatives in Spain that the idea of a total abstention‘ from the polls in the general election this summer gains ground rapidly .before the prevalent belief that the Government may change in Spain without reforming the mili- tary and political misrule and economical legistation which ferments disloyalty in the West Indies.

Sooner or latera test case will be imude in the courts, which will be precipitated by one, of the wheelmen allowing himself to be arrested on the boulevards. 1t wus understood that the League of American Wheelmen wishes the Cui- cago club to tuke the initiative in this matter of fighting for equal rights for bicycles and riders, and pushing it to a successful conclusion.

GRANT. Full Text of the Somewhat Cele- brated Kick Which He Made at Pittsburg. Congressman Tom Young’s Abject Re- ply to the 01d Commander, De- . nying All Offense. + June 17,—The Times to-day publishes a lengthy interview with Gen. Grant, who was caught on his. way from Chicago tu New York. ‘The following are. the leading points of the interview: * HE GOES FOR GARFIELD. “Ithink the treatment of the New York Senators shameful. Not only were they not given a voice inthe New York appointments, but they were unable to retain a man in po- sition until his term ran out. The Collector of New York was a man objectionable to the New York Senators, but they would have been satisfied if he had remained until his time had expired, in two years. This was denied them. I believe that the whole thing was fixed loug ago, when Mr. Haye just before his tine expired, made a long list of appoint- luents, one or two of which were uot vacant until after he went out of office. He did it tohurt Mr. Conkling’s friends. Mr. Hayes knew that these appointments were obnox- ious to the Legislature of New York; and he knew that if contirmed they would injure onkling’s friends in his canvass. Mr. Coukling succeeded in preventing their con- firmation, and so it stood when Mr. Gartield came into office. Then he sent for the New York Senators and the Vice-President to con- sult with them about the oltices to be fitted. He knew well, before he said a word to them. whom he would want, and, after talking about a desire for harmony.and all that, he produced a list of names, which he said he intended to send to the Senate. ‘They were all men whom the Senators could support, and -Mr. Garfield knew it, and for that reason had determined. to appoint: them." Not a word was said abuut the Collectorship, and when the con- ference ended there was not a shadow, of trouble. Then without warning Mr. field nominated Robertson for Collecta knew that he could not name a man. United States more objectionable to the New York Senators, but he sent it into the ate, What reasons were there for trying to P please them one day and turning in an op- direction the next? Garfield i: posi without backbone; a man of fine ability, but fucking Stuinina. He wants to please every- body, and is afraid of the enmity of all the men around him, ‘This is why he threw a sop to Conkling and Platt. Robertson’s ap- pointment, £am sure, was’ settled upon be- tore March 4; yes, before the Chicago Cot yention. “Robertson knew that if my no: nation could be prevented he would be C lector of New York. Ido not suppose that he had any direct pledge. ‘The contract was with Blaine, and- Blaine is keen and wary. Robertson, however, knew that he was to get the appointment. 0" ¥s “Blaine failed and Gartied was nominated; and the pledge to Robertson stood good. Mr. Gardeld knew he had to appoint him, yet he was afraid to say su. Why didn’t he come out and say openly, ‘I am’ going to appuint Robertson.’ Ido not think Blaine has per- sonally said anything to Gartield in the matter, He wants to be in the position to y that since he has been Secretary of State he has never interfered with the appoint ments, and L thiuk he ean say this. He had not stid anything, but through -him the Robertson “nomination was. dictated, and through him ittvas insisted upon.” “Do you think Conkling will be reclected 2” “7 eannot say; 1 have been away so much, and haye only the press to rely upon for in- formation; but I do not think the Legislature can elect him, When Conkling resigned I think it was without the intention of running again. He was disgusted and wanted to get away from it? oalted : “Are you going to New York to take-part in the tight?” ‘. “Ob, no. I have business there, and am going to attend tuit. Lam_outot politics, except as a citizen-who exercises his right to vote and think as he pleases.” GIVES JEFF DAVIS A WHIRL. “To change the subject rather suddenly, what do you think of Jetf Davis’ book?” “Thave only seen extracts from it in the papers, and an not cognizant with all its con- tents. Iwas highly amused,” and the Gen- eral laughed at the thought of it, “by his description of -huw he was going to escape, throw the man off the horse, and the rest of it, ‘The idea of Jett Davis doing anything of that kind isabsurd.. A man 70 years of age, for years an invalid, and a coward, for Jeff Davis was always a mortal coward, al- though he bad great moral courage. It was amusing.” “What do you think of the attack he made on you?” x “T did not see that. lread his attaci, on Sherman, und Sherman’s reply about the burning of Columbia, when Sherman said that if he had burned it he would have known it and not have attempted the denial. Besides, he might have said if he did burn’ Columbia, he only followed a precedent es- tablished by the Rebels. Culumbia was the Capital of a Kebel State, and a State which had led in the. Re- Rebellion. It was fortified and could only be taken by assault: On the other hand, as goon as the Rebels got ubove Mason and on’s tine the n. When they got North for 2 few days. just across the border to Chambersburg, a town without de fenses. that was never garrisoned during si rr the War and had no one in i but women, children, and | 1on-combat- ants, they sacked and .burned the town. ‘They then pushed on York, Pa., another town without. troops or detenses, and with only women, children, and non- combatants 19 it. They demanded asum of money, several hundred thousands. — L don’t know the exact stun, or the town must be sacked and burned, The money was scraped together and the town saved, and the people are paying interest on the bonds to-day. ‘Shey never repudiated, and are still carrying that debt made by the Kebels. What other precedent was necessary for burning town? But Shei nid not burn Colum- bia. The Rebels tired it before he got there, and it was the Union soldiers who saved the place from entire destruction. ‘This 1 would have said if [ had been Sherman, but of course no two men think of the same point in making an answer unless they have ¢ sulted. What attack does he make on me * In one place lie refers to the differences in the loss both of men and wioney, in your advance and that of McClean on Richmond, and makes a comparison in the latter’s favor.” “I captured Lee’s army,” was the dry answer, characteristic of the man who was being interviewed. Hecontinued: “ [think the book will do good.”” “In what way 2" “Tt will not affect any Union men, and may have the etfect of driving sume of Davis’ old associates to the right side.” TACKLES TOM YOUNG. the conversation the subject of in- F en. Grant spoke of terview with Tom Young, ex-Governor, I think he is. [ supposed it was authentic, but it was a tisgue ot lies. The thing was got up to treat slurringly of me. In the first place, it_said that I was a Director of the Marine Bank of New Yors, and had resigned tomake room for my son, wuo was elected inmy place. That is false. I haveason ly New York, a man of some means, gathered by his own exertions. He has relations with the Marine Bank, first as a depositor and then as a stockholder, and his business has been as a borrower frum the bank, He was elected -and is now 2 Director of the bank, but uniil last fall [ did not know there was sueh au fustitution. I was never a Director of the bank, and never resigned to inake way for my son. So much forthat. Then Tom Young ‘went on to say that I was the President of the United States Bank, at a salary of $10,000 a year. ‘This is another lie. There could be nothing wrong in my taking the Presidency of a bank at $10,000 a year, or any other salary, but the fact is Lam not the President of the bank. ‘The United States Bank was started recently by afew gentlemen. Aimost every one hold- ing stock isa Director: it is In fact a sort of e¢lose cofporation, and only one or two stock- holders are not Directors. one of them being connected with another large banking estab- lishment in a way which prevents him being: a Director in the United States Bank. Lam a Director, but Ido not get a cent of salary; neither is the Presidentsataried. That is truth about the matter. Thestatements were made by Tom Young to belittle me. Why he should do so I cannot imagine. For the last twenty years Tom Young and i have held similar views-on all questions, both as re- gards Ohio and the fon. IT cannot account for such deliberate falsehoods.” TOM YOUNG’S LETTER. Cixctxnatr, O.,.Juno 18.—The following open letter will be.published in ‘the city pa- pers to-morrow as furnished by Gen. Thomas L. Young, Member of Congress from tne Second District of Ohio: House oy Represextatives, WASHINGTON, D.U., June 18.—o Gen. U.S. Grant—Dxar Str: I was pained to read in the Associated Press di3- putehes of this morning what purports to be 20 interview with you, publisaed’in a New York City paper, wherein you take occasion to allude toine a3 a “lise” because you read what pur- ported tobe an “interview of mine in sume newspaper in New Orleans, wherein I was quoted us saying -you were connected with” certain bunks, and that you were President of one of them. ‘In your interview, us published, you adayit all and exactly what I did say, that you ure a Director in the United States Nation-. al Bank of New-York Citv. ‘This T know from ailiciul sources. [ never said you was tho Presi- dent of the Bank or that you were connected with any other bank, because I did not know it, ‘The conversution occurred amone a party of gentlemen, all of whom, so far as 1 know, are your admirers. It turned on your Mexicun railroad enterprise, and the part relating to the bunking business was only ao incidont of it. There “was in company 8 promi- nent newspaper . correspondent, and he made the conversation the basis of the interview you take exceptions to. In your interview yoy are made to say that-I -- intended to “talx Slurringly of you and to be- little you.” Now, sir, you know that when you~ speak toa journalist and sive him what you in- tend lor the public that it is printed all over the country, and this fact must ‘be my éxcuse for printing this letter to do myself justice. From the commencement of your brilliant career as @ soldier, until the close ot your public life as President of the Cnited States, [ was an bumble admirer and friend. In 1885 [went as a delegate from this district to Catcago to help make you the nominee for President. In Is 1 went’ to Phitadelphia to assist in the same rand purnose. In these political campaigns I spent my time, money. and beat efforts for your success. During the eivht years ot your Presidency I never asked you for an ollicial favor for myself or any of my relatives or friends. I loved you as soldier, ‘and 1 still admire you usa man, and your assumption now that T have lied about you or that I want to belittle you is both “un- kind and unjust to me. There is but one man in thisgreat Nation that could ever succeed in belittling the great soldier and statesman of whom our, Nation is justly proud, and that man is" Blank”; not your humble friend. ‘Tuomas L.

Brilliant in color and broad in expression, Mr. Chapman hus given in {ft the strongest evidence of artistic power. “Sun-Shower, At- lantic Coast,” by F. K.M. Rehn, is a wonderful study of clouds and sky; tbe poetry and mution of both are tinely expressed by the creamy curl of the waves, across which strikes a gleam of sunlight from behind a breaking cloud. Bier- stadt's “Splendor of the Skies” isa bold and truthful description of 2 most gorgeous sunset, which is all the more attractive as it is puinted in moderate size.
