Speeches Made Amid Cheers, Groans and fland-to-Hand Conflicts— Twenty Thousand People at the Park, O'Brien in Toronto. Toroxto, May 17.—[Special Telegram to the I Amid a scene of enthusiasin and excitgment unequalled since his arrival in Canada, William O’Brien arrived in Toronto at 11 o'clock to-day. The train from Mon- treal was a few minutes late when it arrived atthe platform, but the sight which pre- sented itself as it drew up was indeed an an- fmated one. Fully 3,000 men crushed and struggled with each other to cateh a glimpse of the gentleman as he alighted from the train, and the minds of those who accom- panled O'Brien were for a moment filled, as they gazed upon those long lines ot stern faces, with speculation as to whether they were friends or foes. But the moment O’Brien showed his towering figure at the door of the car all doubt was removed, for a clieer went up that seemed to shake the very air. Inamoment O'Brien was surrounded by hundreds of friends, and amid lines of manly breasts and beaming faces, to the musie of a deafening chorus of Irish cheers, the editor of United Ireland walked out to the carriage which waited for him outside. When the distinguishea visitor took his seat another deafening cheer rent the air, and here, for the first time, some faint symptoms of opposition began to show them- selves. - A dilapidatea Jehu, who had in charge a bony beast that mournfully drageed after his heels abroken down cart, howled out in a strong Ulster accent: ‘“*Heigh for his Lairdship of Lansdowne.” A faint attempt at a cheer went up from about a score of touch-looking individuals on the outskirts of the crowd, but it was drowned out by another hearty Irish hurrah, A few attempts at hooting and hissing were made as the driver gathered up his reins. The po- lice arrangements were very elaborate, but the only requisition made of the services was to form an imposing urray and add to the pageantry of the procession. As O’Brien and his friends drove away, followed by sev- eral clrl’ln)i filled with “newspaper corre- spondents from alllarts’of the United States and Canada, the Irish orator again received o heart-stirring vvation. Hundreds of hats and handkerchiefs were waived in the air, and cheer atter cheer wentup. ‘Then O’Brien stood up in his carriage and exclaimed: *“I'hree cheers for our friends in England and the cuuse they are struggling for.” This called for and received a hearty response, and then the calvaleade of mounted police- men, with drawn sabres. surrounded O'Brien’s carrlage, while a platoon of offi- cers marched in front. It may be here stated that there are 300 volicemen in Toronto at the present writing, and all night men have been ordered on duty for this evening's ‘Through streets lined ~ with smil- ing “and cheering spectators the rmcesnlml moved on its way to the Rossin house on King street. ‘The windows of (svur{ house nlou\: the route were filled with spectators, and hundreds of white handker- chiefs (fluttered a tremulous applause as O’ Brien’s carriage moved on, The hotel was reached without a sign of hostility, if one excepts an occasional hoot or hiss’ from some member of an Orange or anti-Irish lodge, At _the hotel an immense crowd awaited the arrival. Here there were more decided svmptoms of opposition and a ood deal of hissing and hooting was in- dulged in as the nationalists party dis- mounted and entered the hotel, while several fisticurs took &:nee in the crowd on the side- walk. Somebody again called for cheers for Lord Lansdowne, but the response was drowned by the 'turmultous applause that greeted ('Brien from the great ajority of the crowd. The spacious rotunda of the hotel was thronced with a cheering crowd, through which O'Brien walked, bowing as he went In reply to the congratulations and salutations that were showered upon him from all sides. As O’Brien passed toward the stairway leading from the hall, his hands were grasped and pressed by hundreds of adwmirers, and one lady stepped forward and !ll’aflellufll him with a belu‘tlml boquet. On he first landing of the hall stairway he was presented with an address on behalt of the united Lrish societies of Toronto. meeting, Assure you that not now for the first time o fiftieth time since I came to Canada have 1 had reason for feelings of the deepest grati- tude for the wonderful way in which our fel- low countrymen here in Canada have rallied around Mr. Kilbride and myself in this hour of difficulty and trial, I"were to live a hundred years I could never forget the sacri- fice and risks you have made in taking sides with us against a great and powerful lord, We have come here in behalf of hundreds of poor peasants whom that landlord’s ty- ranny and cruelty has left homeless in Ire- 1and to-day, far away in the villages of Lug- gacurran. (Cheers.) 1don’t know what wo deserve for doing this. If the London Times (hisses) had its way I suppose it would be treason to love them and death to defend them. But, thank God, the London Times is not going to have ity way here in To- ronto nor anywhere else much longer. (Cheers.)

(Cheers and cries of are roady.”) it s easy ugh and cheap enough to find snmmer friends, but this is a matter which tests to the core the courage and sympathy of our people in Canada in the cause of Ireland.” (Great cheering.) [ Press|—Never in the worst days of the Belfast disorders was a_scene of wmore dis- graceful rowdyism exnibited than that shown this afternoon n Queen’s park, when a crowd of Toronto Orangemen attempted to storm the platform, and, failing in that, to choke off all possibillty of O'Brien being heard, by keeping up a continual din of groans, ssing, aud cries of *“‘Giod Save the ueen” and “Rule Brittania.” 1t was 4 o'clock when the crowd had about fully col- lected, and it then seemed a fair time to set the number present at 15,000, although the people kept pouring in in' sueh floods from all quarters “after the meeting had begun that there were times when X persons would not be an_overestimate. Many of the banks in the city were closed, and the stu- dents in the university werelet loose. Many of these with the ecrowds of des perate-looking ‘roughs, whose only glory n life secmed to be & row or riot, were or- ganized in & compact band and excited little Kuspielon because they said never a word until their time came. " The first demonstra- tion came from a solitary man at the left hand side of the nfatform, who stood up on the stum| ree and began groaning at the meet! llfi nd at those on the platform as though his life depended on the effort. Near him was a woman waiving a green branch in her hand, and no sooner had she scen the obstreperous Orangeman than she ran the but of the twig down his throat, whiel eftect- ively choked off the disturber, amid a roar of applause from the crowd and eries of Save Ireland,” A rush was made for the woman, but she was among her friends anda | Ly llll’illl( wave of thousands drove b hier would-be assallants.

In'all, the disturbers aid not number more than ‘sixty persons, and many of them were armed with sticks. The syca- mora trees in frout of the platform were taken possession of by a crowd of young roughs, who hissad into the speaker's face during the greater part of the time, until a few powerful men among the nationalists r‘mu‘tl hold of the trunks of the trees and shiook the disturb to the ground. Ihis seemed to anger the Orancemen, who knocked down one or two nation- ists with blows of their clubs. he nationalists in_return used their fists very effectively. With the exception of a couple of eharves by a single policeman on horseback no attempt was made to interfere with the rioters, I'he Orangemen setup two stump speakers to talk at the same time as O’'Brien. They roared themselves hoarse fll"{ll the frantic cheers and yells of the co- terie. Atthe closo of the speaking the followinz resolution was passed amid outbursts of cheering from thousands and groans of dis- senslon from groups of Orangemen: “That this meeting of citizens of Toronto wariily sympathize with the mission of Will O'Brien, M. P., in Canada, and take this opvortunity of entering a hearty protest. against the unjust and el treatment of the tenants at Luggacurran by Lord Lansdowne,” With O’'Brien’s Introduetion began the most terrific groaning, hissing, eheering and rse shouts that the day had so far wit- Romoving his hat with the utmost O'Brien surveyed the vast sea of prehim for a moment. e then bezan, amid the din and uproar, to speak as follows: “Men of Toronto [cries of ‘God save the queen, ‘hurrah for Lansdowne, groans and immense cheering], that cheer of yours will ring around the world to-day [cheers and hisses), and all the vocal talent of Lord Lansdowne’s friends eannot drown it. We are used to this sort of thing in the British Pariament.” [Loud cheers|, 3 Voice—""Three cheers for Lansdowne.” [Groans, hisses and cheers|. g Another Voice—"Hurrah for 'Brien.” I'remendous cheering and groaning|, Here an Orangeman drew forth a heavy stick and hita man with 1t, Knocking him down. ‘Then there was & rush caused by the l)rnllcinx of the horses of the mounted po- icemen, and the crowd scattered in all di- Tections, many persons rughing for big heaps of bricks whien were piled up in a tield elose by. ‘They came back again, whether with bricks or not did not inwediately appear. O'Brien continued: "1 am glad to see that although Lansdowne has nothing to say him- self, he has friends who are able to say some- thing. God help us. (Derisive laughter, cheers and groans.) We come to Canuda to demand an answer to-day from either Lord Lansdowne or his friends. Here are his friends (groans and es), two dozen of them (¢roans, cheers and cries of ‘“‘brand O’Brien”) whom a good policeman could knock out in a tew minutes (cheers) if they only wanted to, and the only answer they can give for the high and mighty potentate who has sent them here is cackling like eese or the groans of a jack ass.

Well, we generally succeeded in putting down’ our enemies in the house of commons (cheers) and we will succeed in putting them down here to-day.

A man from the O:angemen party here got in tront of the platform among the national- ists and began singing ‘“I'he Boyne Water.” His silk hat was crushed 1n” by those around him, and he disappeared under the platform, bruised and bloody, where he remained the balance ot the day, (’Brien continued in substanceas follows: “I am not sorry that the gentlemen of the Toronto corporation have broken their con- tract, as Lord Lansdowne broke his, and have retused us the hospitality of St. An- drew’s hall. There is one hall, thank God, from which they cannot shut us out—this open vanlt of heavy, which the Great Archi- tect of the Universe has built—and we havea a tale ta tell which we need not be afraid or ashamed to tell in the free air of heaven ana in the open light of day. One thing is now, think, ~certain, “and that is that the Canadians command an_answer to the specific and terrible accusations we have made against him. An answer there must be or Lord Lansdowne stands condemned. | think nobody realiz ore keenly tnan Lord Lansdowne to-day that the frothy declara- tions of the orators at Saturday’s are not an answer which will s Lansdowne from the condemnation of en- lightened and liberty-lovini men. The question is—and” Lor Lans- downe and his friends shall not be allowed to escape from it until they have an- swered it, if answer they can—the ( tion is whether Lord Lansdowne is carrying out the most cruel and uman system of evic- tions in lreland rather than yield to con- cessions which were suggested and recom- mended by arbitration authorized by his own agent? And until that issue Is honestly and squarely met, Lord Lansdowne and his friends are shrewd enough now at the last moment to perceive that his cause will be simply damned by o display of physical and intellectual rowdyism and intolerance.” (Loud applause.) i ‘T'he speaker said he did not blame the Or- angemen for their foolish threats, but he did blame the London ‘I'imes and Daily Tele- graph for their incitements to violence, 1t was due to the Canadian spirit in favor of free speech, that their bloody councils had not been followed. Dennis Kilbride, the evicted tenant, also spoke and arraigned the action of both Lord Lansdowne and the Orangemen in severe terms. O’'Brien was then 4Ir|\'?d trom the park, the carriage being escorted by a body of mounted policemen. e was cheered all the way. ‘T'he ’X‘nmnlfl branch of the National league gave a banquet to O'Brien this evening at Rossin house. More than 300 of the most prominent Irishmen in the city sat down. -— POSING FOR PICTURES, 1alous Conduct of Young Girls tn a New York Grammar School, NEW York, May 1 pecial Telezram to the Ber.)—The New York World says a scandal s revealed yesterday affecting two girls, who until the present week were pupils in the grammar school,No. 25, Fortieth street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues.

I L IMPORTANT TO IOWA, The Railroads Brought to Time and Special Rates Granted. CiiicAGo, May 17,—At {a meeting of [owa, Minnesota and Dakota lines held to-day, the most important actlo; was ‘taken regarding the making of rates on articles for manu- facture to Mississipp! river and interior lowa points. When the inter-state law first went into operation the roads running through Towa put in high tariffs to all points, cutting oft special rates and virtually shutting out of business manufactures located along the Mississippi river and in the interior of lowa. Comblaints came pouring in on the roads, and the Roek Island and Burlington attempted to felieve the pressure by puttin in commodity rates to Davenport an Rock Island.” The Northwestern did the sane thing to Clinton and the Burlington to Dubuque. Then the Central Towa stepped in and lowered rates to interior lowa points, where the big roads were anxious to keep up the rates and the revenue. This threatened to demoralize the whole west and to-day the officials got together to stop the disturbance. The meeting resulted in & compromise and an agreement that special rates should be made—from 20 to 50 per cent lower than the tarifl rate—on articles and material for manufacture to Mississiopi river cities between Burlin:ton and Dubuque, and that these rates should be extended on the same basis to Des Moines, Marshalltown, lowa City, Oskaloosa, Ottumwa and Cedar Rap- ids. The eftfect of this is to give western manufacturing interests rates as low as they )l‘l;fl ‘bexor« the inter-state law went into effect. lieving Colonel Meoting of lowa Medieal Men.

Grevy has summoned Eiysce, Floquet. Leroyer, Clemenceau, Deves and Freycinet, Grevy will first ask Deves to form a new cabinet. This Deves will be unable to accomplish. Then Grevy will urge Floquet to try his hand at it. 1 am assured that Floquet will refuse and Freycinet is considered as the most probable president of the next ministry. But the power behind the throne will be Boulanger, whether he excepts a_portfolio in the new cabinet or not.

Boulanger’s vopularity Is to-day stronger than ever and his influence even out of office will be greater than hitherto and similar to that of Gambetta several years ago, In any case, no ministry is likely to bo formed before next Tuesday. The cause of the resignation was the re- jection by the chamber of deputies of the provosals of the government for increased taxation by a vote of 235 to 259, Goblet then announced that the cabinet would resign. As so0n as the announcement was made the members of the cabinet left the house, After- ward a resolution was proposed by the budget committe aflitming the necessity of adopting new plans for retrenchment. The resolu- tion was adopted by a vote of 312 to 143, nier Goblet, in an interview with ent Grevy, tendered the resignation of himself and colleagues. GREAT GUNS, A Peculiar Case Developed in a Paris Police Conrt, [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] Panis (vin Havre), May 17.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Brk.|—In the Paris police court yesterday a remarka- bly pretty ittle blonde English girl, named Julia Rothschild, nineteen years of age, who had gone through a Gretna Green marriage ceremony with Henri Montane, a rich Frenchman, was sentenced to seventcen days lmprisonment for shooting and wound- ing her “*husband’ with a revolver. Mon- tane, who is a splendid looking fellow, twenty-two years old, six feet high, with black eyes, Henri Quatere beard, met Julia at the Alhambra in London and fell head over heels In love with her. A few days afterwards they were married at a register’s oftice. The couple came at once to Paris ana lived at Montane's sumptuous mansion, 34 rue Montaigne. Ilere the most exciting scenes took place, causing consternation in the entire neighborhood. Montane, who has served in the French merchant wmarine, was of very eccentric disposition. CANNON CALLS, * From the evidence given the court yesterday by seven witnesses, of course testifying under oath. 1t appeared that Montane had all the electric bells in the house removed and replaced them with revolvers, rifles and cannons., A complete arsenal was estab- lished on each floor of the mansion. A six- pounder brass cannon fired ouce summoned the butler; rired twice, the cook: fired three times, the conchman ; five discharges of a re- volver in rapld succession brought the chambermaid; seven shots meant the cham bermaid with hot water. No candles were allowed to be blown out, but were extin- guished by pistol shots. All the servants wera provided with revolvers. From morn- ingto night there was constant cannonading and revolver shots. THE MOTHER-IN-LAW INTERFERES.

Madame Montane replied by nsisting that the marriage was not binding in France and that Julia be sent back to Lon- don. Julia and Henrl them quarrelled. Julia, in a furious rage, aimed her revolver at Henri, and fired six balls at him, wound- ing him twice in the arm and shoulder. THE TRIAL AND SENTENCE. At the trial yesterday the judge asked the accused: “Did you mean to kill M. Mon- tane®”’ Julia, who can’t speak o word of French, answered through her interpreter: “Noj in fact, I did not fire the revolver at ail, but my husband tried to commit suicide and wounded himself.” The concierge of the Montaine mansion was next called. He isan old man, with a grizzly beard and black velvet cap, and testi- fied that Julia eame running down stairs after the accident, exclaiming in vroken French: “Mai pas bout bowm! Lui boum boum ! But, in spite of this testimony, the judge sentenced Julia to fifteen days. at the expira- tion of which she will be sent back to Lon don. Julia was removed from the court room crying.

LCopyright 1887 by James Govdon Bennett,] New York Herald Ca- ble—Special to the E —I hear from an au- thoritative source that despite the reassuring bulletins published by her doctor, the mental condltion of the Duchess of Cumbetland is now hopeless. To add to the horror of the unfortunate princess’ case, theére is reason to fear that she is enciente. The duke has not been allowed to visit her since she was put under restraint at Penzing. —— Tho Coerclon Bill, May 17.—The debate on the co- ercion bill was resumed this evening in the commons. Sir William Vernon Harcourt moved an amendment exempting from secret inquiry all proceedings relating to public meetings or agrarian movements, including combinations to obtain reductions of rent. ‘The bill would then deal with actual erimes and would not be a measure creating of fenses. Dillon contended that unless the amendment was accepted the govera- ment would be able to imprison everybody who mizht be politically obnoxious, Land- lords who had not received rents might swearout information ot conspiracy,causing alll sorts of persons to be brought up for bogus inquiry. If they refused to answer the questions, such persons might be im- prisoned as long as the government choose. (Cries of “Hear, hear,’) said he regretted that the 1ent failed to recognize the justice of granting Irish tenants the same protection they afforded English workmen. As to boy- cotting, the government must explain what is meant by that term. Was intimidation in- cluded, or only boycolting leading to ex- clusive dealing? (Hear, hear,) Wien Bal- four said the government refused to yield to the obstruction of the oppositions, the Tesponsa was they had a right to refuse to yield to tyranny. (Cheers.)

He said that when Tom Scott was elocted president of the Union Paclf ott told witness that he had eighty- two bonds which belonged to Blaine whictf the Union Pacitic would have to pay. Jay Gould was next placed on the stand ana told at length thoe history of his cons nection withithe Union Pacitic. Gould sald his books containing accounts of all trans- actions were atthe service of the commission. When the pool agreement of 1878 was exe hibited. he recalled the fact of its oxistence and acknowledged signing for over $3,000,~ 000 securities, His books would show what he paid for them.

It was 00 demonstrated that this pool agreement wou not earry, and the consolidated mortgn was determined upon between April, 1K and May, 1519, The object of the consol- idated ~mortgage was to consolidate the letreogencous mass of securities under one uniform security. The most of these bon were held by Aies and himself. He thoug 30 cents was a fair price for his §2,000,000 stamped income bonds, and that was the price he took for all he had in the pool. the time of the consolidation he owned 40,300 shares of Union I’acitic, worth Vilg, and 27,000 worth 98. The latter wds ime mensely valuable property but had been badly managed. Ile presumed the reason ha' bought the income bonds was because theyp were a lien on the eastern end of the road— its most valuable portion. He bouch$ of Amsterdam people and paid for $2,000,000 worth of Denyer Pacific bonds. He believed the price was 74, which was the price he sold thein to Mr. The roads east from Omaha were “forcing the Union Pacific to pro rate, and it was found neces= sary to get an outlet by the Hannibal & St, Joe and the Wabash & Southern roads so ag to prevent this. ‘I'hat w-- what made these acquisitions desirable to the Union Pacific, In addition to the stock he held to the time the consohidation, Gould said he owned 8 ant consolidated bonds of the Kansag cific to the amount of $2,600,00), nm} Union Pacitic collateral 63 in the sum o $1,000,000.

The trustees would get nothing if this stock had not been Telensed, for the bonds would have been fores closed and the stock could not have entered into the consolidation. What witness did in the matter was the best possible thing for llmltmsl. and he was willing to stand by his action. In answer to Commissioner Anderson's question regarding the handling of the Dens ver Paclfic stock trust, Gould replied vigor- ously, gesticulating violently. ~“He seemed greatly incensed at the imputation of & dis: honorable deal between Sage and himself ' with reference to this trust.
