THE ©OMAHA SEVENTEENTH YEAR. LEAVING FOR MITCHELSTOWN Many Nationa! Leagne Leaders On Their Way to Attend 0'Brien’s Trial A SURE CONVICTION PREDICTED Strong Probability That the Jail Wil) Be Stormed and His Kelease Attempted—Davite 8ails For America—Forelgn, Off to Attend the Trial. [(opyright 1887 by James Gordon Bennett.) Conk, Sept. 22 — [New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bgr.]—Many lead- ers of the National league hereabouts are leaving to attend to-morrow at Mitchells- town, on the northern borders of this county, the trial—or what will be called the trial— of O'Brien. There will be a large concourse there from many parts and if O'Brien would consent, which he will not, there would be 4 rescue. 1 wasatthe now celebrated town yesteraay and the forces of constabulnry with solaiers were increasing. The alluzed crime for which he will be undoubtedly con- victed before two tory justices, whose inter- pretation of his act really becomes equal to an Impromptu statute, is simply this: When addressing a meeting of hisown constituents be pointed out that it the Mitchellstown tenants were not evictea before passing the land act they would become entitled at law to certain rights to which parliament had al- ready declared them morally entitled. He was reminded that that the government had passed through sll but the tinal stages of the bill, which would be some protec- tion to the Mitchellstown tenants who were threatened with eviction, and slthough the measures had not technically become a law there could be no doubt that as a government measure it would be carried in a few days. The owner of the Kingston es tates, however, sought to forestall parlia- ment and by evicting tenants before the bill recelved loyal assent, to deprive them of their status, ‘The Freeman’s Journal, prefacing the trial, said tersely: ‘“I'he case for the crown against O’Brien is: He commanded the tenants to protect themselves by delaying evictions until the legislature protected them.” Com- menting, it adds: *‘He did not counsel vio- lence, riot, insurrection or anything that would be called sedition. He merely ad- vised, as their member of parliament, that they should not allow themselves to be tricked or surprised out of the advantages that parliament had already resolved to con- fer upon them. *'If the government were sincere in their protestations that they de- sired to check harsh evictions and to give tenants legal protection, thereby remov- ing the causes of disturbance and crime, they would have recog- nized In Mr. O’'Briea a true friend of order and jjustice. Instead they have marked him for the plank bed and the other resources of civilization that exist within their jails for the punishment of Irish political prisoners. Possibly they think it necessary to remove him out of their way. 1f 8o they but honor him. He has been a de- termined foe ot injustice, whether wrought by a landlord or by a government.” All this because It represents the voice of the people everywhere whom I meet. Doubtless by Sunday O'Brien will return to his plank bed as one whom the coercion act will term & convict. He will, however, resist to the utmost the degradation of dress and manacle work. Many believe tnat the jail in which he is to be confined will be stormed, and not even Parnell can ultimately quiet the popular feeling. Some Irish members of parliament have uttered far more seditious language, as this 1s defined by the present government, than will to-day be debited against O'Brien. Mr. Labouchere’s recent advice was clearly revolutionary. The uni- versal belief hereand throughout England is that O'Brien’s real alleged crime consisted in bearding Lord Landsdowne and that to avenge the latter this pretext of sedition has been selected.

It is simply impossible now crush it. That would weau to put in rison three-fourths of the people of Ire- and,” sald he, in speaking of the recent course of the English zovernment. He looks with anxiety on the coming winter, believ- ing the action of the government will pro- voke widespread disorder. Mr. Davitt continued: “Ido not believe that the majority of Irishmen would be satis- with the constitution of Canada, which, however, would probably mieet the ‘exigen- the case. Let me add that.l hope Gladstone, next time he tries his hand, will improve on his Jn'evlmu efforts.

He was told at the same time that he had come without an in- vitation, but he was treated genteelly and be- haved all right until he had danced about two sets, when he became noisy and abusive. When remonstrated with by Mitchell he vecame abusive and made threats, and was finally driven from the place by Mrs. Beard. Atkins made threats ot = being present at Luke Powell's, where a dance was held last night and Mitchell went armed. Between 8 and 9 o'clock Atking made his appearance, and on a porch ad- joining the room where the dance was going on, showed his revolver at his hip his belt weli filled with cartridees, and drew from his pocket a pair of brass knuckles, making in- sinuating motions towara Mitchell. At this moment Mitchell came out ahd some words and blows were exchanged, when Atkins drew his revolver on Mitchel), he being in the light and Atkins in the dark. Mitchell sprang into the yard some fifteen steps, drew his revolver and commanded Atkins to throw up his hands, which he refused to do, still holding his revolver on Mitchell, when the Iatter fired.

The Former Uneasy About tha Atti- tude of Uncle S Crry oF Mexico (via. Galveston), Sept. 22.—There is a good deal of uneasiness in political circles regarding the rumored at- tempt of Guatamela to secure the support of the United States government as against Mexico. It is felt here that such a step would do much to disturb the pleasant rela- tions existing between Mexico and the United States, which at present are indueing hoavy inves tments of American capital here, Mexieo’s complaint against Guatamela is this: Insults have been offered members of the Mexican legation there which, it is said, have not been properly atoned for, and while the Mexican government is nhot acting offensively toward Guatamela it is demand- ing just compensation for ults on offi- cials of the legatlon, The fizht in Guata- mela is largely a clerical contlictand assumes the aspect of areligious way. Many poli- ticians here say they do not believe the United States will interfere in so delicate a matter, e — SHE USED A WHI A Merchant Cowhided By a Lady, His Wi‘e Assisting.

AMr. Steven- son confined himself to an eloquent dis- course upon the growth of the west. Mr. Randall spoke for over an hour. The speaker’s topic was ‘“Agriculture.” He said: *'In the past the American people, in all the material elements which go to make up a nation’s prosperity and the hap- piness of her people, have advanced more rapidly than any nation ot modern times. ‘We are reaching “out towards the perfection of the science of agriculture, If I can claim commendation for any public service 1 feel it 1s for my earnest efforts to appreciate and foster the resources of our natural capabllities and wealth. 1 have come to realize that statesmanship, after all, con- siste chiefly in the full and true knowledg of a nation’s resources, To-day tlte United States, In agriculture and incowme, stands ahead of all civilized countries, the income reaching, according to undisputed author- ity, In «rain _crops, cattle, forestry, ete, over $5,000,000000 & eAT. This is a remarkable statement, which, while arousing our oride, should prove an incentive to greater results. What we have we must retain and gain more, and to do so we must establish & more scientific hus. bandry, which can be most effectively and surely promoted by such orsnnluunn of farmers as this one 1 now address, and can be further accelerated in a great decree by the practice of those economies on the farm which have been too much neglected. “The agriculture of a nation Is not only the means of private wealth and indlvidual happiness, but it is the power which sustains every other interest. Commerce, manu- factures and the arts are all_dependent upon it. Let us see what we have done and then consider what remains to do.”” The speakcr then gave a fuw facts brought out by the census returns of the growth” of agriculture and the manu- facturine industriesof the United States from 1850 to 1880, **Agriculture and manufacturing should go hand in hand. They have, for we stand at the head of all nations in agricul- tural productions and in wealth, The American ple, as a mass, are better housed, industrious men, better fed, wives and children better clothed and educated than the peovle of any part of the world.” The speaker gave statistics showing the enormous increase in dairy products. Referring to the result of the agricultural products of the country, ho said: *‘In 1876 the balance of our trade with foreign nationsamounted to $9,613,481; in 1881, $250,702,718. When the imports ex- coed the exports the gradual drain of gold will commence. ‘To meet such a debt and a stringent period of money, you will at once see the importance to our financial sound- ness that our agricultural interest should In every way be kept up to its maximum.” —————— CHARGED BRIBERY. Serious Allegations Made Against a Minnesota State Senator., ST. PAUL, Sept. 22.—|Special Telegram to the BEE.)—Peter Anderson, a Scandinavian, who has had considerable to do with Sixth ward poilitics, has put into the hands of an attorney a olaim against the estate of ex- Senator Samuel D. Peterson, which {saccom- panied by charzes which would be serlous if they were more definite, bit which, In thelr present shupe, look more like potty spite work on Anderson’s part than corruption on Peterson’s. The charges in effect are as fol- laws: Peterson was for six or seven years prior to January 1, 1886, when his term ex- pired, a prominent member of the logisla- ture. He was at St. Paul last winter, and it is alleged that he wus given $20,000 to use among the members of the legislature to influence them against the high license bill and Ignatius Donnelly’s railroad bill. Prominent railwav officials are connected with the rumor as having fur- nished Peterson with the money. Anderson claims that he has not been paid for his share of the work, exceot in part, and his suit will be brought to recover what is due nim. He pYomises sensational disclosures when the suit is brought, State Treasurer Bobleter said to-day that while he and Sen- ator Peterson did not always agree politi- cally he thought him an honest man and so 1ar as he knew bore a good reputation. He did not think there could be anything in the charges of Anderson. Anderson is now employed by the Heinrich Brewing association as a solicitor. Asked to-day if the charges he is alleced to have made against Ex-Senator Peterson were true, he replied: “I bave nothing to say.” A tele- gram was recelved to-night from New Ulm, which states that Ex-Senator Peterson denjes the allegations of Anderson in toto. He claims to have proof of a blackmailing scheme in the shape of letters, etc., from Anderson and threatens to make 1t warm for that person. ——— Jay Gould Going to Europe.
