. s e ——ee e THE OMAHA DaiLy BEE SIXTEENTH( YEAR. OMAHA. THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 19, 1887 BRIEN MOBBED IN TORONTO An Infuriated Crowd of Orangemen Pursue Him Through the Streets, BRICKBATS AND STONES USED. Lansdowne's Policemen Stand By and Offer No Protection—The Irish Patriot Escapes Without Serious Injury. Tuesday Night's Wind-Up, ToroNTO, May 15.—|Special Telegram to the Beg.|—It was not until at a very late hour last night that the streets of Toronto assumed their usual quietude. After mid- night crowds of loyalists paraded the streets, singing, shouting and letting off fire erackers. Oranzemen’s banners and hastily impro- vised Union Jacks mounted on walking sticks and umbrella handies were being flourished and waved 1n all directions, and shouts of “Long Live Lansdaowne,” “To Hell With O'Brien,” “God Save the Queen,” ete,, filled the air. About 9 o'clock p. m. the Young Britons’ fife and drum band marched “down Yonge street, followed by a large erowd, and stopped in front of the Rnssia house, where O'Brien was being banqueted. Here they exhibited their lung power for about half an hour in discoursing such af- fairs as the “‘Protestant Boy” oand “Boyne Water,” but linding no one took any notice of them and that there was not any likelihood of a row, they marched down by the office of the Toronto Mail, which they serenaded and cheered. Passing the News office, whie. is strongly in sympathy with O'Brien, the cerowd hooted and hissed and groaned, but mo violence ensued. Lansdowne managed to have business out in the streets at this late hour, and by a_curious coincidence his carriage and pair happened to be driving along Yonge street just as the mob was marching down it. His driver was of course instantly recognized, the horses were un- hitched and the carriage drawn by the crowd to the government house, where the repre- sentative of royalty stood bareheaded and was instantly surrounded by his noisy body uard. . \When O’Brien came down to breakfast this morning he was fresh for another fray. Piles of telegrams from New York, Boston, Atlanta, Ga., and many other states, as well a8 severs provinces of the Dominion, awaited his perusal. Everywhere the news of yesterday’s ful” proceedings of Lansdowne's sym ers are regarded as & a victory for O'Bri Among the telegrams ot congratulations was one from James Gordon Bennett, of New York, who expressed himself of the belief that the crusade aeainst Lansdowne has been im- mensely strenzihened by yesterday’s work. O'Brien chatted freely’ with your corre- spondent, “At last I haye brought Lord Lansdowne face to face with me, and I think the verdict ot the world will be that 1 have not got the worst of it.” A MOB OF MANTACS, ToroNTO,, May 18.—(Press.|—The in- cursion of O'Brien, the Irish agitator, seems to have changed the whole face of Canadian polities, and, it is thought, will have an im- portant bearing on the future of parties and polities in the Dominion. The Catholics, who spoke regretfully in regard to the Fe- nian invasion of twenty years ago, don’t Apeak so now, and the Orangemen, who talked in a determined manner about O’Brien’s “invasion,” say. that if he attempted to speak here again he would probably pay the penalty “with lis life. The Orangemen seem to feel that they have committed a blunder, not in having attacked the speakers and in illllnrblnf the meeting, but in not having done so half well enough. As evideoce | Li the Orangemen are not solid against him O’Brien furnished for pub- lieation to-day, with the remark, *‘Look at that, boys, the most powerful indictment that has 10! been drawn up against Lans- downe and his rowdy defenders, and the most complete vindication of my action in the matter,” a letter from an Orangeman signed "*Aceson,” in which O'Brien is upheld and the action of Lansdowne denounced. At half past 8 o'clock President J. A. Mil- ligan, of the local branch of the National leazue. called at the hotel and asked O'Brien to go mlil\llfl have a walk, D, I Cahill, Dennis Kilbride, the evicted tenant, ana J. N. Wall, special correspondent of the New York Tribune, were present and suggested that it would not be prudent to venture out, as darkness had fallen and a crowd of about 200 rowdies had gath- ered around the hotel, hissing, hooting ana groaning. O'Brien, however, persisted in going, The crowd grew in numbers and turbulenie and surged to the very spot where O'Brien and others were standing. ‘They groaned and hissed Into O'Brien’s face and ave ventto such cries as ‘‘Away, traitor,” Down With the Dynamiter,” and “God Save. the Queen.” A riot seemed imminent, as the Orancemen were arined with stout sticks, just as they were at the meeting in Queen’s Park, they came up to O'Brien a8 he strode along York street and jostled against him, makingz several attempts'to strike him on the head with their sticks. He dodged the blows, however, and his friends rallied around hi but they were as one to fifty. Two poli men_ stood near, but made no effort to dis- perse the mob. As the party turned into Bay street Cahill had his hat knocked off by astone, Now the Orangemen began their real attack, for Bay street furnished a good opportunity, being covered almost with broken bricks and cobble stones. O'Brien and on a tall hat, which furnished & good tar- et. Wall was on his right and Kilbride and ulligan ~was on left. *Look out, ' Brien,” shouted Wall, “stonesare coming; Beltast over aain.’ “0h, it's all right,” replied O'Brien, “it would be better for Lansdowne ir they let us alone.” As he spoke a volley of bricks and stones came fHying from the( gemen, missing their heads but knocking the vlas- terine off the adjacent wall. Shouts of “To hiell with the pope,” “Kill the traitor,” so on rose above the din, The O'Brien party were still on the sidewalk and Orange- men thronging the streets. D. T, Kelley, a reporter of the New York Sun, now rushed behsnd O'Brien and was about to warn him, when a stone struck O’Brien’s hat and knocked it off.” O'Brien stooped his head, and Wall, who was stand- ing by his side, lifted his head to look in tho direction whence the missiles canie, when a huge stone struck him on the side of the head and tumbled him heels over head. He was earried into a drug store, whera his wounds were dressed. O’Brien attempted to take retuge in Sharp’s laundry, and failing In that, rushed into a bicycle store adjoining. A volley of stones shat- tered the windows and the mob burst into the store, yelling like demons, and showered missiles in the direction in which O'Brien was. Some ladies and old women screamed and fainted, while the mob tumbled pell mell over the machinery, smashing them one against the other in savage fury,and amid cries of “Kill the traitors,” “Hang him,” “Lansdowne forever,” 0'Brien, how- ever, 8 safel; led away by an ofticer nd reached the ‘hotel in safety. Cahill was knocked down and received two cuts and more than & score of other persons were injured. T'he mob now seemed satistied. ‘Treasurer Teefy, of the local branch of the league, sent_the following telegram to lead- ers in New York and Chicago: +0’Brien was mobbed in the streets of To- ronto_by Orangemen. J. M. Wall, of the New York Tribune, was seriously wounded,” O'Brien said to an Assoclated press repre- sentative: ‘“Lansdowne has now done his worst, His policemen absolutely —sur- g}n‘l& h‘un lmh'.iha nlmb. l-nd had we m;‘tl l?ken A icyele shop we woul have been'. killed,” O'rien © will "apeak. in Ottawa to-morrow and in Kinzston Friday, O'Brien svent the day visiting several Cath- olic Institutions n this city. He declares to- night that he will certainly go to St. Cather- ines, and the more the Orangemen oppose him the longer he will stay in Canada. e Injunction Against the Western Union NEw Yomk, May 18,—Colonel J.

New Yonk, May 18.--[Special Telegram to thie Bre-|—A New York special from Au- gusta, Me., to the World sa; Mr. Blaine, accompanied by Joe Marley, Governor Bod- well and Attorney General Orville D, Baker, returned here Monday afternoon after nearly a week’s trip to Bar Harbor and Mount Des- ert. Yesterday it was officially announced for the first time that Blaine has finally de- cided to go to Europe this summer. When the party left here last week Blaine said that the report that he had eneaged passage on a steamer to sail fron New York June 4, wi untrue. He now, however, says his plans have been made and that he will go abroad early next month. His decsiion was made while at Bar Harbor with the well known lieutenant who went with him, The reason assigned by Blaine for his trip across the waters Is poor health and much needed rest, This no doubt is one of the reasons why the Maine statesman will travel. Since his sickness in the west Blaine has been thoroughly alarmed about his health, At the time ha was stricken he lost his courage and insisted that & physician be sent tor from St. Louis, Aithough' he recoy- ered quickly and Colonel” Coppinger aud his 6 urged him to remain at the fort, Blaine uld not listen to them and hurried back to his home at Augusta. His physi sured him there was no danger. S return here from the west Blaine has taken care to say nothing publicly about his alarm for his * health. His family Phy drops in to see him nearly every da; The doctor, who has talked with Blaine’s physi- cian, and who sces him almost daily, says: “Blaine is the most frightened man alive, but he is no more sick than I am. What 8igns of sickness can be observed are attrib- uted by his friends to his constant worry. Blaine’s friends have been opposed to his idea ot going abroad, and have urzed him to remnain at home. They point to the fact that the next campaign is not far off, and that great political changes frequently oecur in short Intervals of time. Besldes this, the Sherman boom is still alive, and other mat- ters of importance are likely to come up which may require his immediate at- tention. Following immediately upon the announcement that the Maine statesman is to cross the water comes the report that several of hi 0st trusted lieutenants are to follow him. ThatJoe Marly will accompany Mr. Blaine is well settled, and it is said that many lesser political lights will sail Ilater, Ex-Governor Robie, who is an aspirant for a United States senatorship, or any other office within reach, Dr. Smith, of Whitefield, of the ex-governor’s counsel, and Governor Bod- well are all contemplating a sojourn to Eu- rope.

CiicAGo, May 18,—The squabble between Chicago east-bound lines over the question of rates on grain took on a new phase to-day. At a meeting of ofticials held in the morning the Lake Shore announced that if the Ch- cago& Atlantic did not return to the tariff the Lake Shore would reduce * the grain rate from Chicago to New York to 20 cents per 100, This would pull down all I rates from Chicago to Buffalo, and the Chicago & Atlantie, rather than cause such procedure, agreed finally to compromise, which it did by consenting to an 11 cent rate on grain from Chicago to Akron, Cleveland and other Ohio points, This is 1 ceut less than the old rate and 1 cent more than the Chicago & Atlantic cut.

GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT FELT. The Princess of Wales Does the Honors—Many American Ladies and Gentlemen Presented— Foreign News, The Fourth Jubilee Drawing KRoom. |Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxpbox, May 18.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bri.]—Great disap- pointment to-day befell hundreds of ladies who made their debuts at the fourtn jubile drawing room, not a few aspirants, finding the queen absent and the princess of Wales acting, postponed their presentation. Be- yond this incident, da capo can be written atter all reports of royal drawing rooms at Buckingham palace. Every such event is alike in preparation and in the meeting of St. Giles on the pavement with St. James, In carriages or in the long waits, or in the crush, or in the heart-burnings or delays of getting nomeward. Mrs. Minister Phelps presented nine American ladies in the diplo- matic cirele, which is the first formed before the general hobnobbing presentations are made and which circle includes exclusively royalties, the cabinet ministers and wives, anddiplomats, The presentations are limitea to very distinguished women. This places a democratic diplomate like the courteons and tactical Phelps m a dilemma. Every American lady considers herself a society queen and equally distinguished. Heart burnings, therefore, may arise. He has been ordered to make no presentation in diplo- matic eircles, but to serve all the ladies demo- cratically alike, excepting, perhaps, the occasion when Mrs, Cleveland shall honor the palace with an infusion of white house social aroma. There couldbe heart burnings to-day when, In the circle, were presented the wife and daughter of ex-Cabinet Officer Manning, recognized here as having been the same as chancellor of the exchequer, and Mrs. Phelps’ daughter, Mrs. Loomis. HOW THE LADIES WERE DRESSED. Mrs. Phelps did the honors in a dress of n Anne brocade, flowered on a cream moire ground, o train of dragon fly blue satin, bordered with lace and rows of satin, She carried a bouquet of orchids and wore dia- monds. Mrs. Manning's dress and train were of blue satin, lined with terra cotta silk and brocade, jupe of blue satin covered with tulle and crepe, trimming of pearl beading; orna- ments, diamonds and pearls, She carried a bouquet of roses and wall flowers. Miss Manning wore a bodice and train of white corded silk, trimmed with tulle, ruches and white tulips, jupe of beaded tulle and bows of ribbon; ornaments, pearis; bouquet of white tulips and lilies of the valley. Mrs, Phelps’ daughter, Mrs. Horatio Loomis, wore a petticoat of grey voult de saie, draped with tulle illusion, looped with fresh laburnum blossoms. The train, falling from the waist, was of the same material as the dress and lined. v*ith yellow ducheese satin, also trimmed sfmlilarly to the skirt. Mrs, Sanford Saltus wore a’ white satin brocade draped with old paint lace, her train and corsageof pink lyons velyet, trimmed with white ostrich feathers, She added a veil to the traditional plumes in the hair and wore diamonds. Her boquet was of tiny white and red Rivieria rosebuds alternated. Mrs. Albert Crane wore a mouve tulle cor- sage and train of fail'le, embroidered with silver. She carried a lyre fan of mouve o0s- trich feathers; ornaments, diamonds. Mrs. Austin Huntington wore a corsage and train of rich zold and silver tinsel bro- cade, trimmed with yellow feathers and aigrettes of silver, petticoat draped with yel- low crape de chine, trimmed with feathers to matceh the train, and diamond ornaments. Mrs, J. K. D. Lainer wore a white bros caded silk and imperial pearl white satin, trimmed with very old point lace and clusters of lilys of the valley, The draped train was covered with similar lace and bunches of lilys with coiffure ostrich feathers and lap- pets, and diamond sprays, There were also presented the Misses Bella and Louise Scott, of New York, in tasteful dresses of white tulie and wearing pearl or- naments. In addition to these ladies the following gentlemen, wearing ordinary court cos- tumes of black velvet, were also presented: Mr. Loomis, Mr. Austin Huntington, Mr. Sanford Saltus, Mr, J. F. D. Lainer and Mr. Albert Crane. The presentation of gentle- men at drawing rooms is sanctioned if the parents or husbands of the ladies, or travel- lers in company with ladies are presented. After the drawing room had closed, there was at the residence of Minister Fhelps, in Loundes square, a pleasant reunion of Amer- Ican soverelzns, who participated in its cere- monies. Many other Americans joined the party, and the cup, which cheers but not in- ebriates, became equivalent to what in Guild hall fests is named the “laving cup,” Consul General Booker and Miss Booker, of New York, were presented by the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury; also Miss Corbin, of New York, by Lady Russell. Mrs, Oscar Wilde was among the London pre- sentatio ns, Americans Banquete: LCopuright 1557 by James Gordon Be Pants (via Havre), May 18.—[N. Herald Cable—Special to the B hundred horse-breeders of Lepisec gave a grand banquet yesterday, at Nogent le Rotrou, to Mr, M, W. Dunham of Illinois, Senator Palmer of Michigan, Ezra Rust and Colonel 'thompson, representing the Ameri- can importers of Percherons, at the banquet. Mr. Dunham pointed out that unless more care was taken that a snflicient number of stallions of the finest pedigree be reserved for the increasing demands of the mare owners, of Le Perche, the latter would be forced to use those of inferior quality, to the great detriment of themselves and the country. In fact, Le Perche was already deprived of many stallions that ought now to be doing servica within her borders. The determina- tion of Percheron breeders to retain the best stallions until they reach a sufficient age to take their place will remove the only cloud that darkens the future.

They allege that the workmen have exhausted their re- sources in partial strikes: also that the pres- ent strike is not approved by the leaders of the workingmen's party, but by the few so- cinlistic leaders who recently split from the Iatter and who go about agitating under the new name of the Knights of Silence.

How Royalty and Aristocracy Shine in Palace Halls, LCopyright 1557 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoNDGN, May 18, 1a.m.—[New York Her- ald Cable—Special to the Bger.]-—The queen’s state ball is just concluding, yet it was a queen’s ball without the queen, be- cause the latter’s fatigue of last Saturday prevented her attendance. The possible fu- ture queen exercised the functions of rovalty in opening and matronizing the ball, the prince and minor royalties assisting. The ball did not differ essentially from previous state balls described in the Herald. The princes’ dress, like those of the royalties gen- erally on such occasions, may be considerod plain in juxtaposition with the magnificent toilets of aristocracy and rich country families crowding the great sa- loon of the Buekingham Palace. She wore a dress of pale gray satin and silverbrocade veiled in erepeand looped with marabout feathers, corsage to correspond; head dress a tiara of diamnonds; ornaments, renrls and diamonds, and her usual orders. 1er daughter, Princess Loulse, wore a dress of white broche and tulle, corsage of white satin brocade, trimmed with tulle and bunches of pink roses, forget-me-nots and magnolia over l\jllem of tulle in the draper- jes, caught up with bunches of the same flowers; ornaments, pearls, rubies and dia- monds. Princess Victoria wore a dress of white broche and tulle, the corsage being white broche trimmed with tulle and bunches of shaded wmauve . ariculas over a jupe of tulle over faille, looned with bunches of flowers: ornaments, same as her sister. The music was regarded as excep- tionally fine in selection and execution. ‘There was more waltzing than if the queen had been present.

His answering cable to his election,full of thanks and good cheer, was also published. But his tory enemies are very bitter here. One of their organs, the Dublin Union, for instance, has this ingeniously suggestive paragraph: “If he gets back alive from Canada, it is not improbable that the editorof benighted Ire- land will take up his abode permanently in New York and personally direct the dynamite and dagger campaign from the safe preeincts of Barclay street. In any case,Ireland is well #id, even for atime, of one of the most mis- chievous and unserupulous fanaties in the ranks of the Parnellite brotherhood. We have no hesitation in saying that Mr,0'Brien is more deeply involved in high treason than any other man in the nationalist party, 1lis departure for Canada at this juncture has been very probably dictated by motives of personal expediency.

In the Commons, Loxnox, May 18.—The commons, in com- mittee this afternoon, began consideration of clause second of the Irish crimes bill. This clause proposes to extend summary jurisdie- tion to conspiracy, boycottiug, resistance to eviction, and the offenses indicated in the Whiteloy acts. Maurice Healy (Parnellite), moved an amendment limiting the operating clause to offenses committed after the passing of the act. Rejected—123 to 100, Healy (Parnellite), moved that before any person could be prosecuted under the pro- visions of the clause that of the attorney general upon sworn information must first be obtained, Holmes, attorney general for Ireland, de- clared that the adoption of such an amend- ment would render the clause incapable of being worked.

Vice-President Jordan was quoted as saying that such a scheme was on foot, but that the bank would not specu- late in silver, A director of the new bank said last evening: L do not know exactly the foundation of the story. Jordan talked about the matter be- fore he went to KEurope, and frequently wondered whether something of the kind could not be brought about, but of course the bank*can have nothing to do with schemes of that kind which another bank could not do.

NEW York, May 18.—Jay Gould resumed the witness stand in the Pacific railvoad ine vestigation to-day. Ile presented n statds ment of his dealings in the securities of the Union Pacific and kansas Pacitic railroads from January 1, 1880, to the 24th, also a dee tailea statement showlng the saving in prine cipal and interest by the consolidated morts gage arrangement as well as the schedule of his dealings in Kansas Pacific securities. Commissioner Anderson desired to know why it was more to the advantage of the cone solidated company to have the Kansas Pae cific redeem Denver Pacitic bonds instead of the trustees of tho consolidated mortguge, Gould sai *The consolidated compan; would not make new bonds and throw it side trust and the scheme which as the only one that could have been made to the benefit of the com= pany.

Gould then relatod the circumstances of hisg resignation as adirecetor, giving as his reason for resigning that he did not think it propor for him to ho!d such a position while obliged to enter into lieavy transaetions as an indfe vidual. Gould was examined at length cone cerning branch roads’ securities which he turned in for consolidation stock, but nothe ing particular of interest was elicited. “Ior my branch line securities I was pald 641 shares of new consotidated stock.” cone ued Gould, “and the Kansas Pacific agrees ment to pay me half in bonds and half in stock of their e mpany was not adhered to. 1 sold my stock at just what 1 put it in for, aud if ther: was a profit ot 81,600,000 realiz by the pool the lawy st have cot it.
