Their con- ductors appear never open to_reputable Eng- lish journals, but draw their opinions and views wholly from papers like the Irish World and the platform specches of the Irish orators.”” This is intended to be sarcastic on the Herald, but it is reserved for the Dublin Express, the organ of the Orangemen and landlords to huve the Herald move it to Donnybrook fair rhetoric, thus: “That not very respect- able organ of New York opinion, the Herald, has been preparing us for a break-off by warning Mr. Chamberlain of the which the Irish population in come him with on his arrival. This is a dis- courtesy which is unique. They warn Lord Salisbury that if he wishes the fishery ar- rangements to be broken oft he will per- sist in his plan of sending us u_diplomatist a persons_ingratuisime to the Irish. This is a fresh intrusion of mob law iuto international disputes. Hitherto the mob has limited itelf to municipal matters in dispute be- tween the masses and classes, but now we areto bo treated toa new departure, and the races which mix and mingle in the United States are to retain their old race rancors. If this were to #0 on and extend,the Bohemian and German, Crotian and Hungarian, would clamor each to reflect, in the several embassies of the United States some of the rivalries which they have left behind, but which linger on in many or Austria. Letus hope that the Heruld is unique in its construction of the meaning of Mr. Chumberlain’s mission, und that we shall not be plagued with_impertin- ences of this kind when a conservative into the liberal rauks to find a who is willing to_sink party considerations in order to_serve his country. But, dismissing the impertinences of the Herald, it is useloss to shut our eyes to the bitter truth that our colonial policy of the last thirty years, which is only the outcome of our frec trade policy of the same date, is the true source of all our troubles in Canada and elsewhere.” And then the Express,with utter disregard of the unities of the subject matter, passes from the fisheries to free trade, and contends that the British colonics vex the mother country with their protection dutics. testimonial from the German consul. The front of the altar was draped with the colors of the United States mingled with the flags of Germany and France. When the services began the church was filled with the family and friends of the deceased, many prominent German-Americans being present. The Ger- man government was officially represented by Baron von Nordenflycht, the imperial German consul. The services were com- menced by an organ voluntary and the beautiful = “Requiem” by the Ger- man maennerchor. Prof. Swing, in the funeral address, said in part: ‘‘De- scended directly from the Pilgrim fathers, Mr. Washburne inberited the politics o liberty, His own studies and reflections came to reinforce thisnatural bias, and the moment he touched the question of slavery he became a disciple of that truth which elected a president in 1860 and which soon set the slaves free and made each state in the union a perfect republic. Here in this coffin lies an unbroken friendship which reached from Henry Clay to Lincoln and Grant, at all times giving and receiving that inspira- tion which comes from the help of kindred minds. The tomb only can separate such men. Their hearts are not bound by passion, but by similar great thoughts and grea duties.” Prof, Swing referred at some length to Mr. Washburne's carcer abroad and concluded with the reflection that while the deceased had spent most of his life amid war, the evening of his day was crowned ‘Wwith perfect peact the American trip which he and Arthur 0O'Connor, M. P., ure taking for the benefit of the Irish people. ““The American people are taking great interest in the cause which we represent,” said South Dublin's representa- tive, “and our meetings have been well at- tended wherever held. In fact, crowds have been oftentimes turned away. We are here to secure the sinews of war in our fight with a despotic form of goyernment, and, to judge from the results obtained up to the present time, we are certainly succeeding. The money we secure from our meetings is to be used in defraying the expenses attendant upon securing the right of voting te every nationalist who is @ legal votor. Every year there is what is called a revision of votes, and at such times the judges, who are all to- ries, take it upon themselv through petty technicalities, to make these votes illegal and substitute tory votes. To fight these cases we spent £11,000 last year in employing inspectors and defray- ing other expenses. In Ulster tory bulldo: ing was so widespread that the nationalists were compelled to use £40,000 in order to se- cure proper registration, so you can see what opposition we have to contend with, The stories of the cruelty of landlords in evict- ing tenants, which are printed, are not_ a jot overdrawn—in fact, you do not hear of half the outrages practiced upon the people. The constabulary, who remove the tenants, are selected for their brutality, and are removed if they show the slightest sympathy with the people. They look upon themselves as little 0ds, The tories are now negotiating for a arge force of Orangemen from the north of Ireland to act as police agents, and should they carry out their plans the police will cer- tainly do something desperate. 1 think Gladstone will be at thes head of the government once more within & year. The present ministry is mak- ing worse blunders, and the mur- murs of discontent are louder every duy. However, I don’t believe the defeat of the present ministry will be made on the Irish question.” Mr. O'Connor said that he was much grat- ified at the reception accorded to them in this country. “But,” he added, in reply to a question, “I really have scen absolutely nothing of the country except from the in- side of a railway train.”” At 110 "Connor and Esmonde, in company with Alexander Sullivan, were driven to the stock yards, where the visito were given a peep at Armour's packing house.

BarmiMore, Oct. 26.—[Special Telegram to the Bre.]—The city election here to-day was an exceedingly quiet affair for Baltimore. Up to the hour of writing the only casualty reported is from the Seventeenth ward. Here, just as the polls were about to close, several independents attempted to vote. A gang of ‘“regulurs” attempted to prevent them from doing so and made a rush upon them. One of the rushers is dead in conse- quence. Your correspondent visited more than half the polling places during the day. There was little excitement at uny of them, but everywhere it was apparent that the “peclers” of the gang had received their in- structions and were ready to carry them out. There were no open outbreaks, but the ne- groes were jostled and crowded to such an extent that many of them refused to risk personal violence and declined to vote ot all. The poll lists had been preparcd with great care by Gorman's men, and when Bartlett's supporters offered their ballots. They found that the inltials were changed or that they were dis- franchised because their names had been mis-spelled, the entire election m has been in the hands of the rin every registry list is copied by the henchmen of Higgins, Raisin et al, it was an e to make mistakes which deprives the pendents and republicans of their votes. The apparent result is that Latrobe, the regular democratic nominee fogmayor, is ejected by » majority of between 8500 and 5,000, ‘Whether this majority is real or not remains to be scen. It Is somewhat. remarkable that the returns are coming in_more slowly than ever before. It is nearly five hours since the polls closed, yet only about 60 per cent of the 180 polling places have sent_in their returns. The independent democrats admit that upon the of the fizures they are beaten at least 8,000, but they insist that the returns reported are not the real results of the clection. Yet, in spite of this claim, Latrobe will undoubtedly be the next mayor of Baltimore. Money without stint has been used and bribery of colored voters has been open. Kvery municipal, state and federal of- flee holder in that city has been bled, and it A Doctor's Strange Suicide. Siovx City, Ia, Oct. 2.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—Dr. Condron, of Danbury, this county, killed himself at his home yes- terday morning. He placed the gun to his head and discharged it by means of a string attached to the trigger. Dr. Condron was one of the oldest and most respected citizens of the county. He had been a practicing physician at Danbury for a number of years. He has several grown up sons and daughters and three younger children. The alleged cause for the terrible deed is remorse from the exposure of mpt to commit an abortion on a do- n the Danbury house named Miss Wedsell. A few weeks ago and before the scandal was talked of Dr. Con- dron went to DTennsylvania to visit. Shortly after the unfortunate girl was brought home from Council Bluffs, whence she hiad fled und her fther caused the arrest of her seducer. In her examination in the Wslicc'u court at Danbury the girl said that ‘edsell had called Dr. Condron to perform an abortion and that he had attempted to do this first by drugs, Failing to accomplish the work with drugs she said he tried instru- ments and also failed in that. As_itis the girl is in a very delicate condition. Dr. Con- dron’s brother wrote him what the girl said and advised him if innocent to come home and clear the matter up. He came home but complained of ill health and was_little seen on the streets. He denied the girl's story. Kicking on a Candidate. AvsurN, Neb., Oct. 20.—(Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—There is a general revolt among the people of Nemaha county against Stull, the candidate for district judge. Within the past two days prominent citizens dave come forward and made affidavits charg- ing Stull with an attempt to bribe members of a jury in an important case. The evidence appears in such strongterms that republicans who were loth to believe the many rumors concerning Stull's dishonesty are now pub- licly denouncing him on the street. The charges made constitute a penitentiary of- fense, ’ ———— An Insane Horse Jockey. NEBRASKA CiY, Neb,, Oct. 26.—(Special Telegram to the BeE.]—Gus Herdineau was brought to the city to-day from Syracuse vio- lently insane. He is well-known throughout tho state as a driver of race horses and trainer. He was formerly a driver in the New Market, England, races. He is insane on the subject of fast horses, Nina as She Is. Cnicaco, Oct. 20.—[Special Telegram tg the Ber.] ~Not one of the swarm of people ‘who go to infinite pains to be admitted to the Juil cares for anything clse 8o much as to & Miss Van Zandt and August Spics. Th newspapers and public gossip have wovery such a halo of romance about the rather ine significant and melancholy girl, that she i an object of uncommon interest until she i seen. The ladies are always disappointed, ““Why, she isn't pretty.” “Whata piain girl she is anyway.” “Humph!" or some such ex« pressions is the first thing thoy utter. Theny they go to dissecting her toilet, multiplying criticisms, admiring Spics or edging up close, as the mere impertinent ones do, to cateh & scrap of the conversation, #s Nina hangs on to the iron bars talking to Spies. There is one remarkable thing to sec in Miss Van Zandt, and that is how much she hgs grown 10 be liko Spies. So far as manner and bears ing are concerned the likeness id almost startling. The same stubborn and contemptuous glance, the samé smile—a drawing of the facial muscles sugé gestive of cynicism and disdain, and the same independent earris of the body. Her cone versation is colored by the socialistic lore which she has taken on since her acquaints ance with Spies, and she talks in @ lectures room style of capitalistic (\l:pre.!nimln and conspiracies against the workingmen. This forbidding resemblance to Spies is, however, softened by the pathos of her unfortunate and hopeless love for hin All the anarchists seem to be in excellent physical condition except Schwab. There is in him a great weakness and debility. He almost totters at times inhis walk and he does not walk much during the exercise hours but prefers to sit languidly in & chair until the jailor pounds the iron bars as n signal that the hour is up.

Neb,, Oct. 20.—[Special to the BeE.]—On Tuesday night the store of E. D. Everett was entered by unknown parties and burglarized of $500 or $600 worth of goods, consisting of clothing. overcoats. dry goods, cigars, tobacco, ete. Entrance was effected by cutting the large plate glaas ‘window pane in front of the building. At this writing no clue has_been obtained to the parties who committed the crime. Two strange men were seen prowling around at a late hour last night, but as there have been 80 many straugers here of late in search of a location, nothing was thought of their pres- ence. Mr. Everett, the proprietor of the store, is the man who was shot through the neck while in the pursuit of the Stedman murderer, something more than a year ago, and for whom the last legislature appro- priated $3,000 to compensate him for his injury. stk SR ® Jeff Overcome With Emotion. Macoy, Ga., Oct. 20.—Thirty thousand veterans from all parts of the south assem- bled here to-day and were reviewed by Mr. Davis. It was arranged that Davis should not speak owing to his feeble condition, but at sight of the tattered confederate flag in the procession he arose and said that he was torn_and riven by storms and trials. He loved it a8 & memento of what had been done by fathers and sons. He was rlad to sce them again, Short speeches were made by Governor Gordon and Senator Colquitt. Macoy, Ga., Oct. 26.—The ladies of Macon tendered a reception to Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Hayes and Miss Winnie Davis. The citizens presented Mrs. Davis with a silver soup toureen, and the officers of the fair presented Mrs. Hayes with a diamond brooche. Last nighta german was given »o Miss Winnie, and she was presented with a diamond ornas ment.

Coruymus, Neb., Oct. 20.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—Columbus township to- day voted $10,000 in bonds to aid in building a bridge across the Loup Fork river. This, with the £30,000 voted by the city of Colum- bus last week for the same purpose, will se- cure a permanent brid;io, enhancing property 25 per cent in value and build up a trade that has been trembling in the balance for the past two years.

Olose of Thirteenth Annual Conclave of Illinois Knights Templar. Ciicago, Oct. 20.—The grand command- ary of Knights Templar of Illinois finished their thirteenth annual conclave at noon to-day.

Should Be Taken With Salt, CnicaGo, Oct. 26.—To the forty men and dozen women who attended the meeting of the ““Amnesty association” to-night, Presie dent L., 8. Oliver made a arkable states ment. He said he had been greatly disape pointed at not receiving more petitions with signatures from states outside of Tllinois asking a commutation of sentence for the condemned anarchists, He believed the only way to account for not olving them was that they had been tampered with in the United States majl. In many cases in uan< £ to a request he had sent rolls of blank petitions to parties in Wisconsin, Penns sylvania and New York two or three times over und still they would wri i that tho matter had never been . Mra, Holmes, who was an associate editor on the Arbeiter Zeitung before the Haymarket, rioty' jumped up and said she had been threaten with arrest by authoritics in the postoff for mailing amnesty petitions. Olivi replied that she could not be arrested, bub that those making such throats were labl to arrest and good lawyers had vn)luntel'reg possession even before patents were granted to the grantors of the land, and who in_each case has failed for years to pay any taxes on the land they now claim. Two of the cases so determined will go to the supreme court to be tested. evening all the electors and Wilson assem- bled in the circus. The accused sits with his face, wild and haggard, resting on his ecl- bows. The crowds howl and yell at Wilson; cries of “Eh va done, serrulier mot,” then bursts into tho circus, strcaming in to all seats on in the ring everywhere. The presi- dent rings the huge bell and exclaims: “Citi- zens, M. Wilson consents to explain his con- duct, but on condition that you listen to him.” _“Oui, oui,” resounded everwhere. When Wilson then mounts a little ladder to the raised platform ho passes a nervous hand quickly through Bis long = beard, and even tears out the hnirs with wild clutches. “Citizens,” says Wilson, 41 thank you for listening” Profound o enses and Wilson continues: “Tt is painful for an_honest man—" (h outs and jeers interrupted the speec Continues Wilson, audaciously, and in a h voice: “It est peniblo pour un lionete homme.” The tumult here interrupted the speech; cries of ‘“assez, assez,” reccho on all sides, The crics unswer the accusation. “You swindler, we don’t come hero to listen to poetry.” Here most infernal shouting and yelling put an end to_all order for half an hour, at the end of which the president managed to make himselt heard.
