Yours, GEORGE BRINSKL lowa Soldiers Again Kick. Drs Moixes, Ia, July L—[Special Tele. gram to the Bee.]—The council of admin- istration for the Grand Army department of Towa division met here to-day to consider the position that should be taken by lowa Pposts with reterence to the St. Louis encamp- ment. There was a very strong feeling that the encampment should be changed fromn St. Louis since an attempt had been made to uge the encampment by Cleveland's friends for his partisan advantaze, Accordingly, after a lonk discussion, a resolution was adopted asking the national council of ad- ministration to change the L\lrwl\ of holding tue encampment from St. Louis. This was subseauently reconsidered aftor hearing a letter read from General Grier, of St. Louis, who pledged that if the encamp- ment were held there Mr. Cleveland should not be mixed up with it in any way, and that old soldiers would not have fo pass him in review. On this consideration it was decided that the lowa post should attend the encamp- ment in full force, and there will doubtless a large reprosentation, now that it is known that the president is to have nothing to do with it. The Irish National League. New York, July 1,—|Special Telegram to the Ber|—The Tribune prints the following: “The Irish National League of America will hold a convention this year at St. Louis as #00n as possible after the passage of the co- erclon bill. It issaid that the leaders of the organization 1n Chicago are engineering the matter and hope to be able to carry the day a8 they did during the convention last year. . 1t was believed that after the Chicago con- vention, and the bitter contest which was J;, fought there, no other convention would be ) held for at least two years. Notwithstanding that John Fitzgerald, the Nebraska banker, was chosen president’ at_that time, it 13 well known that Patrick Egan is still one of the . moving forces with Alexander Sullivan, Although their triumph in the convention Wwas unquestioned, they lost influence com- pletely in this state, In the coming conven- tion another effort will be made by New Yorkers with anti-administration people all over the country to defeat the Chicago and Nebraska men and place their own men at the head of affairs. So completely have the friends of President Fitzgerald and Alexan- der Sulllvan in this city lost heart that they won’t even make n show of contest at the , coming election of officers of the municipal couneil of this city, when last year they made such a bitter ana protracted fight. —— A Senator Sherman's Opinfon.

Earl Spencer deciared that the bill would fall to bring a settlement of the Irish question, and was not worth considering, as it would not relieve the tenants, He did not think the government understood some of the clauses, because in some cases the clauses would in= jure the tenants, and 1 others it wonld in- jure the landlords. The tenants might be ordered to pay artears in smail installments, but the paynient of rent was not provided for. "Therefore the tenants might continue paying installments and allow rent to accum- ulate, Directly the bill passed the courts would be erowded with applicants whosa cases could not be settled for Lord Ashbourne, lord chancellor of Ireland, said after the bill passes the necessary evic: tions would not be open to harsh_eritieisms. Tord Salishury said it was because it tried to apply an fnipossible system to the relation between landlord and tenant that the gov- ernment was obliged to_introduce the pres- entbill. It was a pity that the liberals ~had not foreseen these evils so that the govern- ment would not have had to undertake the impossible task of introducing sanity into the landed poliey, which was absolutely in= sane. " ie did not regard the bill as n final measure, but believed it would be an element in restoring peace and good will, ‘The Earl of Kimberly asserted that the bill of 181 violated the rights of contract less than the present biil, wiiich broke the contracts of 150,000 leasers. Liord Salisbiry moved the omission of the purchase clauses on the ground that they were irrelevant to the main object of the bill and likely to lead to oxtended discussion in the commons and prove inimical to the vass- age Spencer said he hoped that the government would not persist in ting the clauses. Hebelleved the clau s welcomed rather tham opposed. Cadoran intimated that the wover would not press the motion to omit the pur- chase clause. ‘The report of the bill was then agreed to and the third reading fix for Monday. The Crimes Bill Postponed.

The questions involved in the proceedings were whether the debt for which the suit was brought was contracted fraudulently and also AILURE. in an Attach- '3 whether the firm, after contracting the debt, ' disposed of portions of its property with in- tent to defraud the creditors, The principal evidence of the banks in support of thelr charges was that when the note 1n question was renewed by K. W. Lafrentz, book keeper of the firm, he stated that the firm was worth #300,000, which subsequent development demonstrated not to be correct; also that transfers of property were made by Swan Bros. ‘with intent to defraud creditors, On the part of Swan Bros. it was contended that at the time of their as- signment their indebtedness to the First Na- tional bank was not as large as ata short time previous, when it was’ nearly 100,000, and that the general condition of the firm was such that at no time prior to its assign- ment would it lead any one to consider it in- solvent.

That in the transfers of vproperty made by the firm no fraud was perpetrateq. 3. ‘T'hat the allezed representations of the bookkeeper in regard to the tinancial stand- ing of the firm at the time of the renewing ot the note did not constitute fraud as charged in the aftidavit in support of the at- tachment, ‘The attachment was therefore dissolved, Other attachment suits amount- ing to $100.000 against:Swan Bros. hinge fi" |h‘;s decision, and will probably be aban- oned. assets and liabilities was void; e The Boss Protectionists, NEew York, July 1.--The American Pro- tectlve Tarlff league to-day announced awards of prizes to college students for essays on “The advantages of protective tariff to labor and industries of the United States.” The number of competitors was forty-eight, reprosenting eight~ een states and thirty-five colleges.
