Cork, August 5.— [New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bek.]—The following. intelligence comes to-day from Kelrush, county . Clare, near whore the Shanuon broadens, and gives evidence of the peacerul ness of Irish home rulers amid the increasing asperity of the landlord interest.

The appeals of the old lady to let her die in the home of her childhood moved the crowd and the parish priest, Father Quinlaven, to tears, impressing also the mna, istrate ‘who, on a certificate of the parish physician of the immenent danger of her death, postponed the eviction. 'I'his de- cision, amid the dramatic expressions of gratitude of the mother and daughter was HAILED WITH CHEERS, concourse, headed priest, then formed in procession and marched to a spot not far away, the scene of another recent eviction, There were met similar delegatious from Kilkee, Donbeg, and several other villages of County Clare, and there was another evicted widow, named Murribay, with her four children and her venerable mother. They had been for several days SHELTERED BY THE ROADSIDE under an impromptu covering for their seanty furniture. The peasantry delegations had brought boards, thateh, window panes, tools, mortar, and the like, and in two hours willing hands had erected on the roadside a comparatively comfortable hut, in which the widow, her children ana the old grand- mother were placed, while Father Quinlaven blessed the kumble home and the willing workers, who then peaceably dispersed to homes not much better, as to The by the HEIDELBERG'S HOLIDAY, Day and Night Parades in the Famous Onty. HEIDELBERG, August 4,—[New York Her- ald Cable—Special to the Bk |—The weather, morning, noon and night here has been like the university rector, magnificentissimus, It was hailed by a procession this morning of grave and reverend university senlors from the Aulato the church of the Holy Ghost. and to-night the procession of students in honor of the grand duke of Baden, their rector. ‘The tirst procession seemed to please the spectators of the university, the senators and offieials wearlng long flowing black or searlet robes with gold chains, as much as the ovening one delighted the students and spec- tators and the wedged mass of fun-makers alonis the streets. Thousands joined in the toreh bearing und tens of thousauds in the huzzas, There was dignitats at noontide and otium cum after dusk, The morning pro- cession on its way to the church was joined by deputations from the German and other universities from scientific and literary asso- clationsand from the polytechuic schools. Harvard, Yale and John Hopkins were also Yepresented. In the church a cholr sang Hayden's hallelujah chorus to which the crown prince and grand duke listened atten- tively. The grand duke then presented the anniversary wedaland & now ofticial seal and chain of oftice of gold, beautifulty chased and made by Professor Goetz of the school of art at Carlsrulie, to the pro-rector. ‘Il royal presence also graced the love feast of the burghers in the musewn, which lasted protty much all day. The strcets wore (lled with stout gentleman in dress suits who to have feasled well. Many came 1n dress sults from Malnheim and Carlsruhe to veturn at night, after they had taken in the student’s torehlight procession.

There were ten bands in the procession. The torches were of pitch pine and burned faster and made more smoke than ours do. The streets were black with smoke. The faces of the bystanders and of the students in the procession looked like those of negro minstrels. The boys were boisterous enough and when carriages con- taining pretty girls and and drawn up against the curb were passed, they expressed their admiration by shouts of “Al I striking their torches against the vavement, and rendez- vous, suclt as: “Meet you under the green tree at eleven in the morning,” or, “At the Schioss at nine.” The more rowdy waved their torches in the faces of some very pretty English girls, who, though suffocated by the smoke, appeared delighted. The lads were more wary when passing the window of the Rathans, where the crown prince and the grand duke reviewed them. They all marched with military precision, saluted with their torches and shouted “hoch!” till hoarse. The marching was very fast as the troops led the procession a ataquick step. As soon as the procession had filed Into the square as is eustomary, the torches were flung into one general bonfire, The crown prince then entered a carriage with the grand duke and drove to the station. He goes to Frankfort and then to Schlangen- the empress, He returns here on Ifound the police arrangements for the procession excellent. All the flags at night had to be taken in along the route to escape the danger of flame, and younesters were for- bidden to stand around the road, so as to pre- vent accidents. Hartington for Harmony. LoxpoN, August 5,—A meeting of the lib- eral unionists was held at Devonshire house, the residence of Hartington, to-day. Hart- ington presidea and mwong those present were Joseph Chamberlain, James Rylands, Latne, Heneage and Jesse Collings. Hart- ington, In a long speech upon the coming arliamentary work, proposed that all atti- ude of hostility toward the adherents of the Iate government be abandoned. The liberal sections should co-operate inan endeavor to secure the enactment of vseful legislation,and oppose unitedly all proposals looking to the separation ot the empire. He said the con- Solidation of the party was only a matter of time. Towards that end the unionists shouls at once identify themsclves with the rest ol the liberals by taking seats W the commons mn(m]i them. He reiterated his opinion that the split in the party would soon heal. Chamberluin = followed Hartington. He said he would willingly accept the leadership of Hartington, with whom he was in entire and cordlal fiymlm(hm He declared that such action as Hartington proposed would speedily restore the unity of the party. The unionists, he said, were the real victors at the late elections. Chamberlain’s remarks were received with enthusiastic cheers, Rylands, Collings and Caine, and Henry Janies also spoke in a similar strain, A vote of thanks to Hartington was then passed by acclammation and a resolution was unanimously adopted that the radical and whig unionists should work together and that the leaders who are privy counsellors should claim seats io the commons on_an equality _with .

The committee on rules and regulations made the following recom- mendations, which were adopted: Against the election of an executive com ee of the council of administration for two yea.s; that meetings of the national encampment be held Dbetween April and Novemberinstead of May and September as at present. This was in defference to the wishes of the southern mermbe: hat when memorial day oceurs on Sunday, Saturday be observed unless Mon- day is & legal holiday.

Members of the Forty-Ninth Oongress End the Long Agony. ADJOURNMENT COMES AT LAST. But Little Business Transacted Dur- ing the Ulosing Day of the Session ~The Fortifications Bill De- feated—Quick Scattering. Tne Senate Proceedings. WasHiNGToN, August 5.-—Mr, Allison moved to take up the final adjournment reso- lution, Mr. Conger opposed the action for the pres- ent until the fate of the river and harbor bill should be known. Mr. Ingalls said he thought the senate was being trifled with, Hesubmitted that it was not appropriate, after the business of both houses was considered as closed, and when they were all ready to depart, to be kept here doing nothing, in expectation, in hope, or surmise, or conijecture, that at some time in the future they would be advised what action might be taken by the executive on a bill sent to him for his approtal. It was trifling with the public intercsts to allow the ad- journment resolution to remain unacted on, It was the first time in the executive history that congress had been permitted to adjourn without the executive coming to the capitol and availing himself of the usual custom to ascertain the will of congress. Mr. Plumb, from the conference committee on the bill for the repeal of the pre-emption and timber culture acts, stated that the sen- ate conterees had asreed to yield everything except the provision that where there was an ation of fraud in the entry of land, the shall be sent to the courts for adjudica- . The house conferees had declined that and had also declined to sign the conference report, As matters now stood it was claimed to be in the power of the comwissioner of the general land oflice to set aside absolutely a pre- ption under any of these acts, and practically without investigation except one sided. Agents were not at work seeking out technical objections. This had produced great consternation and great indignation. ‘The senate conterees telt that cases involving the title to valuable property ought to be tried as all other questions are tried that re- late to property or rights of individuals. He had thought it proper to make this State- ment. Mr, Harris (the chair. being occupied by Mr. Hawley) offered a resotution of thanks to Senator Sherman for the ““ablity, courtesy and impartiality’” with which he” had pre- sided over the senate during the present ses- sion. The resolution was put, and the chair declared the resolution unanimously adopted. But Mr. Riddleberger demanded the pres- enceof a quorum, declaring that the resolu- tion ought not to pass, and without a quorum could not pass. 1n this difficulty (there not being a quo- rumn), the senate at 12:10 took a recess until 1 0’clock. After the recess Mr. Hawlay, referring to Mr. Beck’s bill to prevent mémbers of con- gress acting as counsel for subsidized rail- ways, said Lie had been seeking an opportun- ity to have it called and acted on, but other business had stood in the wnil‘ Mr, Beck agreed with Mr. Hawley that it had been impossible to have action on the bill this sesslon. He thought, however, that the bill had not had fair “ll\y. He did not belieye that a single member of the jlldlch\l‘f‘ committee would vote for the substitute which it had reported. He thought that. the com- mittee had sought to make-a Durlesque of what he regarded as a very serious matter. He moved that the second Monday in , De- cember next be fixed for its consideration. The motion was agreed to. "The house bill-for the relief of soldiers of the Twelfth Michigan volunteer infaltry dishonorably discharged, was amended and passed. Mr. Edmunds reported that the committee of the two houses appointed to wait on the president toinform him that the two houses had completed the business of the session and were ready to adjourn unless he had soma further communication to make, had {)crfurmed that d\ll?‘ and were informed by he president that he had no further com- munleation to make, and that he congratu- lated the two houses on the termination of thelr labors. Mr. Plunb, fromthe conference committee on the fortitication bill, reported that the committe had bflh[l unable to " agree, which amounted to a failure of the bill. After de- bate the subject was dropped. ter a short delay the momentof ad- journment arrived and the chair said; “'Senators: Before announcing the termin- ation ot the session of the senate, I leave to return to each of you my grateful thanks for your uniform eourtesy and kindness to me a8 your presiding officer, and especially for the resolution of to-day in which you have expressed your approval. 'This session has been distinguished the great number and varfety of subjects which have been con- sidered, and by a marked absence of political controversies.” The varied needs and aims of the rapidly growing ecountry have oceu- pled more of the time of the Senate, The short recess will enable you to greet your constituents, and I hope and trust that ach of you will return next December with re- newed health and strength to your important duties. 1n pursuance of the résolution of the two houses of congress, [ now declare this session closed sine die.’ A hurried leave-taking among the senators and employes took place and” half an hour later the chamber was empty. The House Proceedings. WASHINGTON, August 5, —While the clerk of the house was reading the presidential vetp on the pension bill, the president's as- sistant secretary, Pruden, apoeared at the the north door of the chamber. When he announced the president’s approval of the deficiency, sundry civil and niver and harbor bills there was a round of applause, and the gloom which had settled upon the members by reason of the ramors that were rife that the river and harbor bill had been vetoed was dispelled, Mr. Hiscock moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill regulating the duties on tobacco wrappers. Mr. fliscock took the floor and spoke 10 support of his motion, Mr. Randall received unanimuos consent to haye printed in the Record his speech upon the tariff bill introduced by him, Mr. Morrison of Iilinois offered a resolu- tion granting the committee appointed to in- vestigate the labor troubles in the southwest permission to sit during the recess with all the powers granted to it in the original reso- lution pmvldlmhfm' its appointed.

What the Forty-Ninth Oongress Has and What It Has Not Done, 18,202 MEASURES INTRODUCED, But OnivlEleven Hundred Passsed— One Hundred andThirteen Bills Vetoed, Which Breaks the Record A Resume of Leglslation, WASHINGTON, August 5 —The first session of the forty-ninth congress, which ended to-day, began on Monday, December 2, 1885, and covered a_period of seven months and twenty-eight days, or 241 days, exclusive of Sundays, Of this time the senate was in ses- sion 104 days and the louse 185 days. Dur- ing that time there were introduced In the two houses 13,202 measures, of which 10,014 were house biils and 214 house joint resolu- tions and 2,801 bills and 83 joint resolutions of the senate. The measures proposed for enactment into law exceeded in number by 2,040 those fntroduced at the first session of the forty-aighth congress, which set for seven months and four days, or 105 days of actual working time. They covered all sorts of subjects, from the payment of the laborer at the capitol for extra services, to the com- plex questions of tariff legislation and legis- Iation with respect tothe national finances, Of the' entire number, comparatively few were of what may be termed of national .im- portance, The greater number were meas- ures of a private nature or of merely local importance, such as relief and pension bills, bills for the erection of public buildings, for bridging rivers, for granting right of way to railroads through military or Indian reserva- tions, for the removing of political disabill- ties, for changing judicial districts, for estab- lishing new land offices, for changing names of location or increasing capital stock of na- tlonal banks, for printing public documen ete., ete. A very small percentage of the whole num- ber of bills introduced of either a general or vrivate nature became laws. A compara- tively small number succeeded in getting through the committees to which they were ‘referred and reaching the calendars of their respective houses. Some secured passage in the house in which they originated but failed of action in the other “branch, aud a very large number still remain unconsidered by the committees to which they were re- terred. The total number of measures that passed both houses was 1,101, being 241 sen- ate bills and 860 bills which originated in the house.

A Sneak Thief Secures a Neat Role From a South Omaha Butcher. An enterprising sneak thief made $150 m a very short time at the stock yards yesterday afternoon. Fred Wasson, the butclier at the yards, was running across the street when his pocket book fell un- noticed by him from his pocket. Shortly afterwards @ man was seen to pick up the wallet and take his departure in the direction of the city. Wasson boarded a freight train intending to come in and notify the police before the arrival of the thiet. When nearing the city Wasson observed the man who had picked up his money hanging to the steps on one of the cars. He started down to catch him when the fellow dropped to the ground and was soon lost in the weeds in the vicinity of the Paxton-Veirling iron works. The police were notified and officers Whalen and Burdish spent some time in looking through the woods and weeds in the nity, but found no trace of the thief. Wasson is actually loser $50 in cash which was in the wallet. lere was also a check for §)4 drawn by George Canfield on the First National bank, but the pay- ment of this has been stovped.

WasnivaroN, August 5.-—[Special Tele gram to the Bre.]—Mr. Riddleberger made a spectaclo of himself to<day In the senate. Everything was going along quietly to a proper conclusion when the junior senator from Virginia, being rather more Intoxleated than usual, made an exhibition of himself by objecting to the president’s rullngs. Gen- eral Hawley happened to be In the chair and proved a mateh for him, howaver. The ques- tion was one in reference to a report. Sev eral senators tried to reason with Riddle berger, but one might as well try and reason with & mule as to try to show the Virginia senator his mistake when he is in such condition as he was to-day. However, the festive scene was | crowned when he objected to the passage of | the customary vote of thanks to the presid- ing officer. e loudly called for a quorum, and although he was told thore was one prew- ent, he refused to listen uan.-ned the presl- dent, Senator Edmunds falrly boiled over with suppressed rage, The democratic sena- tors looked shocked. Senator Sherman, to whom the vote of thanks was directed, pac excitedly up and down the fioor of the cloak room. Senators Sawyer and Mitehell and Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Christy tried in vain to sooth the intoxicated senator, He loudly proclaimed that he bad a right to object and call for a quorum. Gen- eral Hawley said a quorum was present, but Riddleberger persisted, although he fanned his fevered brain to keep it cool. At last the senators could not stand the exhibition any longer, and Edimunds moved a recess. It was taken. Riddleberzer was taken to his committee room and went to sleep after be- ing promised that e should be called at § o'clock, He was not called and the session of the senate proceeded quietly until ad- journment, WILL THERE BE WAR? Senators Cockrell, of Missouri, and Wal- tham, of Mississippl, were passengers on herdic to the capitol this morning, and on the way discussed the trouble on our border with Mexico. “Ido wonder,” said Waltham, “if thero is really any danger of congress being called together on account of this affair with Mex- ico?” “Really, 1 could not sa *‘but I would not be surprised at any turn it would take. Do you know that this thini worries me agreat deal. Well, it does. Long ago I predicted war with Mexico, vut I hud hoped that it might be staved off. It is cruelty for a great nation like ours to pounce down upon a weak one like Mexico, and yet we canniot stand 1t much longer. Mexico's attitude is 1ike a siek 0 LEASINg & strong, one. £ 1'3‘0 " replied Cockrell, e men favor of giving 'l le clean out Mexico. - The first time_we have serimmage with that republic I" think we. should take her and run-her ourselves.” ' O, certainly,” R derstood.

The idea that Mexico can punish our citizens for offenses committed on our own soil is preposterous.” THE SUKPLUS RESOLUTION’S FATE. It was stated at the capitol to-day, and gen: erally conceded in the house before: it ad- journed, that the president would not sign the surplus resolution. but would let it die r want of his signature. The treasury of- ficials are still opposed to It, even in its pres- ent shape, and haye talked” with the presi- dent and asked him not to sign it.
