PROSPECTS OF A REVOLT LESSENED Conference Held With Thomas THREATS OF THE IRISH PRESS <ciinciaenpaetimlms LONDON, August 22—It is said that Mr. chief secretary for Ireland, has succeeded in calming the storm aroused by the Irish members as a result of the veto by the house of lords of the evicted ten- ants bill. The angry threats made against the government by the Irish members dur- ing the all-night session of the house of commons on Morday were begirning of a bitter revolt upon their part. ‘Thomas Sexton, the anti-Parnellite mem- ber for North Kerry, started the ball roll- ing at that time by asking what action the government would take in view of the house of lords’ veto. Sir Wiliam Harcourt said that this was the greatest question that can occupy the government's attention, adding, that It was inadvisable to make a state- ment on the subject at present. Mr. Sexton then asked if the government would define its policy in the next queen's Again the liberal leader announced that the government was not prepared to make @ statement as to its policy in this respect. On conclusion of committee of supply, the same evening, a number of Irish members Proposed various motions, with the view of forcing Sir William Harcourt to make a definite announcement of the policy the government would pursue with regard to the house of lords’ use of the veto. ‘The motions were ail defeated, in a house of only sixty members, by majorities of ebout twenty, and the commons adjourned at 4 a.m. on iy. This revolt, it now appears, has quietly neutralized by Mr. Morley, who had a long, persuasive conference with Mr. Sex- ton yesterday, which induced an entireiy different tonz in the house of commons last The Irish members, it is known, suspected the government of collusion with the con- servatives to postpone the house of lords’ Sut Mr. Morley denied with emphasis that there was any such agreement, and Mr. Balfour made a similar dental on behalf of the conservatives. ‘The incidents of Monday night were fol- lowed with threats from the Irish In this connection the Times today says: “Few people believe that it was more than a sham fight, done for the purpose of coddling the Irish electors into the belief that the Irish members are not the servile tcols of the government.” —— ANARCHISTS IN AMERICA.

They Want Pay From Cattlemen for Thetr Lands. EL RENO, O. T., August 22.—Reliable information has reached here that the Kiowa and Comanche Indians are becoming alarmingly troublesome, because the money to the amount of $60,000 due them by cat- tlemen for lease of their country has not been paid them. It has been due them for several months, and they are unable to As a result, the Indians are assuming a warlike attitude toward these cattlemen, and in some sections the disturbing element has destroyed range fences and slaughtered Serious trouble has also come about by reason of individual demands by certain members of these tribes for their share of the pay. There is much uneasiness among the cattlemen and neighboring settlers. ‘Y LYNCHED HIM. A Nashville Negro Insulted a Young NASHVILLE, Tern., August 22.—Almost a riot was created in South Nashville last evening, and the life of a negro was at stake. About 7 p.m. Tom Johnson, a negro, aged twenty-four, threw his arms around Miss Daisy Jackson, a young lady of high respectability, who was walking along the pavement. The sheck to her was so great that she fainted. Two passers-by came to her relief, and a crowd of whites soon gath- ered. The report spread abroad that the negro had attempted an outrage, and angry men flocked to the spot. A deputy sheriff, with great difficulty, rescued the negro, who had been beaten and severely wounded about the head, and placed him in jail. men went to the jail and demanded the persor. of the negro, but up to a late hour the man had not been brought out. It is the opinion of many of those who have seen the negro that he is a lunatic. mob of about 300 NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS, Largest State Convention They Have OMAHA, Neb., August 22.—The largest republican convention ever held in this state met in Exposition Hall today.

Altgeld to their homes having led them to believe that they will receive immediate aid. The relief headquarters, which have been closed for a week, were reopened today in ex- pectation of returns from the governor's proclamation, and a few supplies were received. Gov. Altgeld returned to Springfield last night, leaving the strikers in the dark as to his future plans for their relief. A com- mittee from the board of county commis- stoners visited Pullman today and investi- gated the cordition of the families, with a view to voting money for their relief. George M. Pullman flatly refused to be interviewed regarding Gov. Altgeld's visit, and declared he would not discuss the strike in any of its phases. —_———_ Hard Crabs Cause Sickness. Mrs. M. A.
