His Feelings Hurt By the Attacks of the Veterans, But the Trip Abandoned Withouta Touch of Resentment, Oleveland and the Grand Army. 81, Louts, July 7.—[Special Telegram to the Brk. j—The following letter, addressed 1o the magor of this city, who was chairman of the conumittee of representative citizens of St. Louis who verbally invited the president 10 visit this city during the holding of the en- campment of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie next September, is printed this morning, and explains itself without further comment: EXEGUTI MANSION, WASHINGTON, July 4, 183-—The Ilon, David It Francis, Mayor and Chairman—My Dear Sit: When 1 ordial and gratify- ing invitation from citizens of St. Louis ten- dered by a number of her representative men 10 visit that ity during the national encamp- ment of the G, A. R., I had been contemplat- ing for some time the acceptance of the invi- tation from that organization to the same effect, and had considered the pleasures Which It would afford mo if it _should ba possible to mect not only the iewbers of the . A. R., but the peovle of St. Louis and other citles in the west which the oc would give me onrxr unity to visit. The ex- actions of my public auties I felt to be so un- certain, however, that when first_confronted by the delezation’of which you were the head I expected to do no more at that time than to promise the consideration of the double in- vitation tendered me and express the pleas- ure it would give me to accept the same thereafter, if possible. But the cordlality d sincerity of your presentation, re-en- forced by the heartiness of the people who rroand you, 80 lipressed mo that 1 could not resist the feeling which prompted mo to assure you on the spot that I woula ba with you and the Grand Arwy of the Republic at the time designated if nothing happened in the meantime to absolutely prevent my leay- ing Washington. inmediately upon ment ot his cone asion the public announce- { on, eXPressions emanat- ing from certain important members of the Grand Ariny of the Republie, and increasing in volume and virulence constrained me to review my acceptance of these invitations, 'hie expressions referred to o to the extent of declaring that [ would be an unwelcom guest at the time and place of the national encampment. ‘Uhis statement 18 based, as - well as I can udge, certain ofticial acf [ volving important public interes under the restraints and_obligations oath of oftige, which donot appear to accord with the wishes of some members of the Grand Army of the Republie. I refuse to believe that this organization, founded npon patriotic ideas, composed very largely of men entitled to lasting honor and considera- tion, and whose crowning glory it should be that they are American citizens as well as veteran soldiers, deems it a part of its mis 8100 to compass'any objeet or purpose by at- tempting to intimidate the executive or co- erce those charged with making and execut- ing the laws, but the expressions to which I have referred indicate such a prevalence of unfriendly feeling, and such a menace to an oceasion which should be harmonious, peace- ful aud cordial, that they cannot be ignored. 1 beg you to understand that 1 am mnot con- scious of any act of mine which should make e fear to meet the Grand Army of the Republic or any other assem- blage of my fellow citizens. The account of my official ula\\'nnlnln{r is always ready for presentation to uy fellow countrymen. 1 should not be frank if I failed to confess, while disclaiming all resentment, that I have been hurt by the unworthy and wanton attacks upon me growing out of this matter and the reckless manner in which my actions and motives have been misrepresented, both rnuncly and prlvnwlr. for which, however, he Girand Ariny of the Republle,as abody, is by no means responsible. ‘The threats of ersonal violence and harm in case 1 under- ake the trip in question, which scores of misguided, unbalanced men, under the stimulation of excited feeling, have are not even considered. Rather tha don my visit to the west and disapp y citizens, 1 might, if I alone were concerned, submit to the ult to which it is quite openly asserted L would be helplessly sub- ed if present at the encampment; but | should bear with me there the people's highest oftice, the dignity of which I must protect, and [ believe that neither the Grand Axmy ol the Repubiic as an organization,nor anything like a majority of its members would ever encourage any scandalous attack upon it. 1f, however, among the membership of this body there are some, as certainly seems to be the case, determined to denounce me and my oflicial acts at the national en- campment, 1 believe they should be premit- ted to do 8o unrestrained by my presence as a guest of their organization, or as a guest of the hospitable city in which their meeting is held, A number of umuil Ann( posts have slgnified thelr Intention, I am Informed, to remain away from the encampment in case 1 visit the city at that time. Without consid- ering the merit of such an excuse, I tesl that Lought notto be the cause of such non- attendance. The time and place of the en- campment were tixed long before my invita- tions were received. ‘Those desiring to par- ticipate in its proceedings should be first regarded, and nothing should be permitted to Interfere with their intentions. Another consideration ot more importance than all others remains to be noticed—in fact was referred to by you, when you verbally Ema\'llt?(\ the invitation of the citizens of St. Louis—that the coming encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic would be the first held in'a southern state. 1 suppose this fact was mentioned as a pleasing indica- tion of tho fraternal feeling fast gaining ground_ throgiout. the " entire T, and alled by eyery patriotie citizenasan carnest that the union has really and in fact been saved in sentimentand spirit, with all the benefits it vouchsafes to a united people, 1 cannot rid wysell of the belief th least discord on this propiti might returd the progress of the common brotherhood which the Gran of the Republie has so good an opportunity o increase and foster. I certainly ought not to be the eause of such discordin any ovent or upon any pretext. 1t seems to me that you and the citizens of St. Louis are entitled to this unreserved statement of the conditions which have con- strained me to forezo my contemplated visit and to withdraw my acceptance of your in- vitation. My presence in your eity at the time you have indicated can be of but little woment comvared with the Importange of the cordial and harmonious entertaininent of your other wuests. 1 assure you that I Abandon my plan without the least personal foeling, except regret, constrained thereto by i sense of duty, actuated by a desire to save nny embarrassment to the Es{lple of St Louls or their expected guests, and with a heart full of grateful appreciation of the sincere and unaffected kindness of your eiti zens. Hoping the encampment mni be an occasion of much usefulness, and that its proceedings may illustrate the nighest patriotism of American eitizenship, 1 s yours very sincerely, GROVER CLEVELAND, [ P’ress.]—The president’s letier to Ma yor Francis withdrawing his acceptance of the )]murlu of St. Louis"invitation to visit this ity d the Grand Army encampment has fup hot and_diversifiea exprossion of jon. ‘The committea that took the invi- tation to the president teel that their labor has been in vain and are strong in their de- nunelation of the men who were Instrimen- efeat of their plan, ‘The chagrin ¥l at they wishea to organize immediately to invite “the Al Army to tnd another place for their encamp- ment, and some promised a very iey recep- tion to the gallant soldiers. 'Tlere were many others, however, who saw the wisdom of the president’s course and were pleased that the city had been relleved of what prom- to an uppleasant affair, any feal that the city has been bhuwilinted and are indignant about it, but acree that the Grand Army’s encampment shall be a lorious success, and that at some other time !ne president shall have a reception in keep- g with the high office Le holds.

When the president came down Stairs to re- ceive them Post Commander Walker stepped forward and said : “Comrades of General Landes Post, No. 5, I propose three ch for Grover Cleveland, president af the United States.” ‘The veterans gave three cheers and a tiger with a vigor and earnestness that made the airring. As the echoes died away, the presi- dent, with a smile, addressed the visitors as follows: “I ean only say to you, gentlemen, that I am glad to meet you here. 1 have extended i irtesy, s have Ia 1o other posts of th 3 Republic on_their way home from visifs to their southern friends. 1 want you to understand that [ have lost no confidence in the Geand Army of the Repnb- lic as an_organization, notwithstanding: the recent oceurrences to which itis notnecessary furtlier to allude.

LoNDoN, July 7.—In the commons to night on the motion being made tor the third reading of the erimes bill, Gladstone, amid prolonged cheers, made a counter motion that the bill be read a third time this day three months, Gladstone said the bill was a conservative alternative to home rule, and therefore bore a different aspect from and ordinary coercion bill. The old coercion measures had been aimed at erime only, but this new one, passing beyond crime, was aimed at societies. |Cries of ‘*‘Hear!” Hear!”| Further, the bill had been brought in without any foundation, such as under- laid all former coercion bills, based on the existence of exceptional crime. four had disrezarded all precedents requiring that the introduction of coercion measures be prefaced by a statement of exceptional crime. Gladstone maintained that the increase of crime in 1886 over 1885, in view of the agricultural distress in Ireland, was exceedingly small. Cowmparing the officials of the tory government in power In Ireland n 1885 with those in power the first tive months in 1857, there was a marked decrense “in the amount of agrarian crime, yet in 1885 they had refrained from introducing a coercion measure from motives of policy. A comparison of past and present statistics afforded no shadow of justification for the present measure. Another contrast was that past parliaments had been nearly unanlmous in assenting to coercion, while this bill was opposed by a large minority in the house and by a majority of the people of the country -—a majority that was not likely to diminish, [Cheers.| If parlinment retained any regard for the traditions of liberly “or of party usa; the measure would be abandoned.. ~ What could they urge to warrant such an invasion of the people's liberties? While resenting the imputation that the liberals had done the same thing, he would admit that past measures had been ilures. Among the differences of the past nd present was the extraordinary proposal making the viceroy master of the whole law and the right of association, In the present uch a proposal was an outrage on Moreover, of exclu- ings. That was far more pardonable weak and poor than in_the rieh and ul, but 1t was the exclusive of the poor against the the was aimed. new crimes were created, a measure for their suppression should operate impartially. [Cheers.| The government did not dare lift a finger in defense of the suggestion that it apply to England a provision such as it was forcing upon Ireland. He contended that the government was bound to extend the oc- cuplers of land in Ireland perfect equality with English trades unions “as regards the rights and practices enj by the latter, among which combination and exclusive dealing were sanctioned. As the bill stood, it an Irishman joined an association, it was for Balfour to say whether or not he became acriminal by the act. [Cheers.| In conclu- sion Gladstone said Ireland, after seventy years of oppression and wrong, was in a State of misery and wretchedness. [*‘llear, hear.”] In the whole British empire there was not a square vard of land which England held by foreé alone, excepting in treland, where foree was employed. [Enthu- siastle cheers from the Irish benenes.| Ire land was held by mastery, but the gov ment refused to leain $ihat ma tery suvolved responsibility. They Knew that the whole literature of ‘the world was inst them. |Cries of *“No. He challeng the gov- ernment to mention any anthor who had re- viewed the relations between Eungland and Ireland without arriving at a home rule solu- tion. |Cheers,] The tories professed to fighting for union of ewpire, a fight in which the liberals joined. [Laughter and cheers.] The liberals held that the charge of disunion was ridiculous. It was evident that the present state of aflairs could not last as Gladstone believed that d tended to bring sthe tories doom. Gladstone then moved for the rejection of the bill amid eh from the liberal and Parnellite bench . Balfour, replying to Gladstone, first re- ferred to the charge that the gc nment had brought the bill as an alternative to Glad- stone's home rule proposal. If that was the case, he said, he felt justitied in saying that it was suflicient to _recommend the measure to the acceptance of the house. ‘The govern- ment was mainly justified in introducing its proposals by the state of social tyranny which ha recently been created in Ircland—a tyranny ~ that attacked the rights and liberties of minorities, and most of those elementary principles without which a country could never be prosperous. He contended that erime was worse now in Ire- land than in 1550, when Gladstone promoted coercion. He taunted Gladstone with having introduced in 1SS1, an arbitrary coercive weasure which enabled the Irish chiet secre- tary to imprison anyboday at will. He ridi- culed the comparison made between trade’s unions and socleties where the object was the dismemberment of the emvire and which were supported by foreigners.

Tommy Miller received another letter from Tommy Warren yesterday evening, and War- ren makes still another proposition, the third since the two men have been newotiating for a fight. The sum total of the whole affair is that Warren has no intention of risking his reputation by going up against a man whom he knows nothing about unless he is assured of a very handsome purse, eventuate as the weet may. He says if Miller knows of any reliable sporting man in Omalia who will take the sole ma ment of a fight to a tinish within fifty miles of this city and put up a bona fide purse of §500, loss, for u tight to a finish, the winner run down here from Minneavolis articles of agreement and put himself in shape for the go. He adds that under no circumstances would he pull off his coat for less than a half century, and If the meet is arranzed for, the management s to take all that is realized by the sale of tickets and do with it as he sees proper. He asks Miller to telegraph Lim to-day whetter Le stiall come or not. ‘The buse ball imbroglio remains pretty much as it was yesterd only that two of the revellious members, Healy and Genins, packed their little grips and Ieft 10_join the team at Lincoln. O’Leary and Swift are still here suspended at the hooks. O'Leary considers himself a much abused man, and #ays it would be impossibie for him to play ball when he knew all the time that his en- tire salary was to go to pay fines wrongfully He thinks it a shame that a wan who has played such bum ball as Walsh has the power to fine men for unavoidabla poor play.

At first he seomed reluctant to speal upon the subject, but finally satd: “‘For sometime it has been secretly whis- | pered In certain circles In our territory that Dorsey was trying to scll, not because he wanted to do so, but because ho was being crowded by his money creditors both in Col- orado and New Mexico, and was obliged to do something to secure ready cash. Dorsey lives at his Homo—Moun-' wain Springs—in princely style, and I8 reported to be immensoly wealthy, but the truth is he would have comparatively little| left if all his obligations were paid. The' public was given to understand that his last trip to Europe was made because of his fail- ing health, while realiy it was an attempt to unload his herds and ranches upon the Eng- lish at fabulous figures, Failing in this, he conceived the scheme to purchase the Max- well land grant of the Duteh, stock the same at a good figure in connection with his own property, which adjoins the grant, and then dispose of the same to American capitalistsy He had nearly completed the purchase of the grant when the supreme court confirmed the little grant. ‘This decision so inereased the value of the 2,000,000 acres of land in the eyeys of e forelgn owners as to make its purchase by Mr. Dorsey un- profitable if not impossible.
