THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY. AT PEACE WITH THE-VATICAN. An Understanding Between the Irish Blshops and Leo. THE TROUBLE ENDS IN A DRAW, What Was Abandoned Before the Is suance of the Rescript Will Be Con- sidered As Brought About By the Pronunciamento. Vietory With the People. LOopyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxpox, May 81 w York Herald Oable—Special to Tir Bre]—The resolu- tions of the Irish bishops are construed here by all parties to signify thata full under- standing has now been arrived at between them and the vatican. All the government organs to-day are not so jubilant over the “chagrin of the Irish leaders” as thoy were. The St. James Gazette, the closest of all the journals to the cabinet, for instance remarks: “Many causes have co-operated to bring about the revolt which has lately been seen in Treland. All through the century the pa- pacy and ecclesiasticism in general have been in steady opposition to nationalist aggrarian movements. O'Connell was op- posed from Kome, but defled and disoboyed a papal rescript. Smith, O'Brien and the men of 48 atuributed their failure to hostile ecclesiastical influences. ‘The Irish yeople,! wrote John Mitchell with bitter scorn, ‘wauld be free only for their damned souls! Over and over again the papacy has exerted a moderating influ ence, successfully in the main, upon Irish revolutionary movements, but the breaths of that success there have grown up wherever revolutionary passions ase strong, ‘with feclings of hostility toward the pope and all orders which he issues, In our own times the Irish hierarchy and priesthood never dared to oppose vigorously a popular movement, for when they made an attempt they were beaten. They only preserved nom- inal authority by guiding the people, as a man might affect to guide a headstrong horse by running at its side, patting its neck and keep- ing his hand on the bridle. Whether they like it or not the priests must go with the peasantry. The result seems to have had its effect at Rome. The truth seems to be that tho pope has been frightened and his bless- ing on the movement remains, and it is to be feared the peasantry will feel that in their differences with the pope the victory is to them.” 1 quote this because the expressions scom to perfectly summarize the situation, ‘which at the best or worst is a draw. The leaders had already been discountenancing boyeotting and the plan of campaign had practically ceased to operate. The vatican Wwill now accept the cessations as a result of the rescript, while the leaders will quit their heated language toward Rome and let well enough alon LCopyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett.] DusLiy, M: —[New York Herald Cable —3Special to Tue Bre. ecclesiastical and home rule authority for saying that the apparent breach between the vatican and nationalists is closed. the Freeman's Journ: “The affair is at an end, for the pope never intended to interfere with political action or its details, ‘We are glad to find the bishop of Limerick’s name amongst the signatures to yesterday's resolutions. With regard to his lordship’s phrase in the letter already alluded to, vu ‘In furtherance of an agitation conducte: against the pope, we think we may speak with authority for all concerncd and say with emphasis that there is no such agitation. It could not find a foothold on the soil of Ircland. Some things may have been esid on the platform and at a meet- ing or two when men were stung by the . ememy’s taunt that their pope had turned against them, but these were the merest ebulitions of the moment and regretted the next.” United Ireland adds in a long editoriai: It would be cant to effect not to know that the action of the holy office is an affront to the deepest and most earnest convictions as to what is best for the moral as well as material interest of the people. On the other hand disobedience to explicit instruc- tions from the holy office would be an act of revolt from thcir disciplinary and ceclesias- tical duty.” Bostox, May 31.—The gram has been received from special correspondent in Rom nounced here that the pope will send a friendly and comforting letter to the Irish bishops expressive of his constant purpose to abstain from anything which could in rl least check tho true juterests of the Iris tional movement.

The Thunderer Comments on Document at Some Length, [Copyright 1588 by James Gordon Bennett.| LoxvoN, June 1.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bre.|—Mr. Blain letter, published fully yesterday by the Eu- ropean edition of the Ilerald and copied into the London papers to-day, has naturally veated a sensation on thisside, The London mes this morning devotes two columns to it, In which it remarks: *Mr. Blaine's letter to Mr, Whitelaw Reid relieves the republican party in the United States from a serious perplexity. Their reluctance to part with their old admired leader is to blame rather than any tortousness in Mr. Blaine's diction. The multitude of voters evidently want to nominate him and they resolutely rebel. The compliment paid his attitude does him honor andon tne whole he is not likely to personally to suffer by it. By his self-denying decision ho continues 1o be the most powerful repub- lican wunager and individually the most conspicuous American politician m existence, Out of office he can impose on the republi- .cans almost any torms he will. Whoever the republicans select, whether a compara- tively unknown man or Judge Gresham, in retirement Mr. Blaine is sure to bestow upon their choico the character of unan- imity it could not otherwise Bave attained. Mr. Blaine s too keen sighted not to perceive Mr. Cleveland 1s @ strong candidate, The present sigus are that the leaders of the democrats are not inclined to narrow the basis of their controversy with the republicans to thepoint Mr. Blaine proposes. Some of themselves are weak-kuneed in the defense of free trade. Ho talks as if he were wholly ignorant wat free trade in Europo is the ex ception and protection the rule. He scems to have no suspicion that poyerty in pro tectionist states is as acute as in those which are votaries of free trade. Let him examine the conditions of labor in the industrial dis- triot of protectionist Germany aud acquaiot the American protectionist with the lesson they convey. It he will listen to French reports on French destitu- tion jn the period during which France has been reverting to protection from free trade, the account ought to modify. his assurance of the invariable comnection be tween protection and satisfactory wages. It suits his argument to mass together Europe 88 at once poverty stricken and free trading, #nd to impute the misery to the alleged doc He chooses to be equally oblivious of combination ‘of physical advantuges Whick keep up the standard of Amer the joan industrial wages @s well in agriculture, which is = not susoept ble of protection, as in - manufactur which style of reasoning is not a favorable specimen of economic teaching, which Amer- ican protectionists think good enough for home consumption. And the letter is an epoch in the personal history of the presiden- tinl conflict, and shows the dircction the con- test will take. A Deliverer From Chaos. [Copyright 1858 by Jamss Gordm Renmett.] Loxvox, May 8t.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bgre,1—The Times, commenting to the extont of a column and & haif upon the speech of Gemeral Charette, exclusively reported 1n the Paris edition of the Horald, observes, in the the course of very able-and comprohensive leader, as fol- lows: General de Charette commenced his address at tne royalist banquet on Sun- day with & sentonce. which must command universal assent. Nono will deny that tho scone now opened before us in France is a strange one, Among Fronchmen it is no new thing. That imperialists, monarchists and republicans should be exchanging deflances and reproaches is a matter of course. The government which, for the moment, repre- sents republicanism, exists on a kind of par- liamentary sufferance which. is at once con- temptuous, and it would have been ejected within a month of its iustallation had adverse democrats been able to agree upon & succes- sor. The reprieve it has obtained is ducto a senso among its rivals, that its ejectment would make room for mo more acceptablo combinations. Being in power the republi- can party is exposed, in the first place, to as- saults, but the factions of Bonapartism and royalism are not in themselyes more secure. Gerieral de Charette, like his master, endeav- ored, on Sunday, to reconcile the Bourbon di- vine right with a modified supremacy of the popularwill, He tried to show how a plebis- cite might effect for Comte De Paris what it could never do for anybody mot a bourbon. General de Charette's eritfcisms on the Bou- langist movement are indisputable. The dan- ger of General Boulanger’s attempt to storm the citadel of authority has some times been supposed to consist in the contingency of a military declaration for him, but the French army always has nonorably abstained from becoming an in- strument of political agitation. Nothing siiows General Boulanger's weight with it to be of a degree to induce it to alter its tradi- tional rule. The charin of Boulangism sim- ply is that it is a protest against parliament- jarism. So long as clectors aro not obliged to regard too closely the claims of theircandi- date and have before their eyes the spectaclo of a tumult of struggles for ascendancy m the national assembly they will accept him as their deliverer from chaos. The principle of personal liberty is, as General de Charette asserts, tho real means with which Bou- langer works. Such success as he has attained proves to the fancy of royalists only that France is calling for a man to rule it and necessarily must prefer the line of its ancient kings to an untried and unknown adven- turer. ———— Italian Coast Defences. RoxmE, May 80.—[Special Cablegram %o Trne Ber.]—In the chamber of deputies to-day Sig. Nicotera made a motion that the govern- ment adequately fortify the maritime towns of Italy, He declared that Naples, Leghorn, Meseina and Salerno were defenseless.

In his last feeble effort at attempting to furnish a_few lLues of news the would-be correspondent of the Sporting News at Des Moines goes into paroxysm of agony over the report of the Omaha-Des Moines serics in this city as published in Tue Bee and in his imbecilic fashion blubbers out, *‘that more senseless snom and spite has been shown in attacking some of our team.” He alleges that **Bug’ Holliday isnot a “smart allick” (note the manner in which “allick” is spelled please) but is a_‘“nice boy" and merits no such at- tacks. “Bugs” antics are according to this catlow youth's statement “‘simply the result of an extra allowance of life and” vigor,” etc. “Danny”’ Stearns is too nice a fellow and the least likely to play mean trivks of any fellow' he ever saw, “‘aud in addition poss esses all_the prominent traits which are de- vyeloped in the “*Bugs character except the “oxtra allowance of life aud vigor."

The Garneau Residence Pillaged of Much Valuable Property. WORK OF A SLICK YOUNG THIEF, Over Two Thounsand Dollars’ Worth of Diamonds and Jewelry Taken —The Perpetrator Makes Good His Escape. They Were Cleaning House. One of the boldest and most successful robberies of many months was committed in broad day light yesterday at the residence of Joseph Garnean, jr., at the corner of Capitol avenue ond Eighteenth street. The thief en- tered theopen door about 4 o'clock in thr afternoon, plundered the house of diamonds and jewelry of great value and walked out without obstruction—almost without detec- tion, in fact. At tho time of the theft, Mrs. Garneau was engagod in superintending that momentous affair for every household it invades—houso cleaning. Because of its progress the front door, as woll as the others, had been left open. Mrs. Garneau had loft her room and come down stairs to direct aservant as tothe work in hand. She had not been so engaged more than fifteen minutes when she noticed & man coming down the stairs from the floor above. Her first thought was that he was the paper hanger who had just finished a picce of decorating in tho house, but a second glance undeceived her, for tho intruder was dressed in a natty busi- ness suit. Mrs. Garneau called to the fellow, indig- nantly demanding to know what he was do- ing there. The depredator flourished a re- volver and pointed it at the lady threaten- ingly. He carefully kept his face turned away from het sight as much as possible, and hastily sped out of the house. He walked briskly down Cuapitol avenue to Sixteenth street, turned the corner and was lost amon g the crowd. Mrs. Garneau promptly tele- phoned her husband, who was at his cracker and he, jumping into his carriage, drove atalively pace to his home. Mrs Garneau in the meantime ran up to her room, discovered the extent of the robber's depredations and made a mental inventory of her losses. Mr. and Mrs. Garneau then drove to the central station and gave the po- lice such information as they couid. When Mrs. Garneau reached her room sho found it a scene of chaos. The thief had ransacked a bureau, opened a trunk, gono throngh a dresser and strewn the contents about the room without any finicky regard for order. He had but u few minutes for his operations, and the confusion of clothing and_bureau drawers indicated his haste. The fellow realized his danger and the necessity for prompt action, but he went through every receptacle that' might have contained valuables. This fact suggests the: idea that he understood his business, ndded to which is the evident fact that he had studied the lay of the land.

The escaping thief noticed to hold one hand upon a side pocket in his coat, into which he had evidently dumped his plunder. Mrs. Garneau had little time to observe the fellow, but she noticed that he was a smooth faced young man of about twenty- one. He was about five feet seven or eight, with broad shoulders, which may have been somewhat padded, and was neatly dressed. Mr. Garneau offers a reward of $100 for tho capture of the thief, and $200 if the jewelry be also recovered.

The senate then proceeded to the consider- ation of the senate bill to quioct the title of settlers on the Des Moines river in Towa. Arguments in its favor were made by M.

FLUCTUATIONS WIDE AND RAPID, Corn Opens Strong But “Falls" Off— Oats Firm and Active—Provisions Dull—Cattle Higher — Hogs Slow-—Quotations. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET, Criroaco, May 81.—[Spocial Telogram to Tus Bee.)—To-day’s wheat markct was tho most erratic and puzzling y The interest was in the July dolivery, Almost as quick as it takes to write it that delivery shot up from 85¢ to 861 and broke again to 837¢o, and after it was donenobody seemed to know why it was done. Even men who were cager bidders on the way up and as cager offerers on the way down could only say that at first thero was none for sale with evorybody wanting it and a minute later it was all for sale with nobody wanting it. The truth ap- peared to be that at the start Cudahy’s brok- ers began to bid for grain and the lesser traders, having oversold themselves on Tues- day took fright and helped them to put prices up. Then Hutchinson, Geo. Steward & Co, and even Cudahy’s brokers, began to offer freely and the temper of the crowd changed instantly under the impression that the bull bad been manufactured by the bull party to sell out on. The price dropped 24 c with- out reaction and without stopping for tho six- teenth. 1t was too quick work for any very great amount of property to change hands on. Hutchinson turned buyer near the bottom, and with Cudahy turned the market up again 3¢, Thereafter July wheat hung between S4lgc and 84%c for a long time, dropping once to S4ige and recov- ering within a very few minutes, then near the close advanced to y but closed at 1 a'clock at 8487c. The flurry was all in July delivery. Other months generally opened higher and declined steadily. June wheat opened at S5e, sold down to 833c and closod atSée. Asaresult of the morning's trading prices suffered very little change from last night, and the sudden and inexplicable changes have given rise to two theories. Ono is that the bull party 1s tired out and used up and 1s making desperate efforts to get from under its load; the other is that the bull ¥ is still confident and 8o suro of its po- sition that its engineers' threats to “‘shake out” “tailers” create a big shortginterest and buy wheat cheap. Predictions as to the fut- ure course of the market depend altogether upon which of these theories the prophet adopts. The heaviest selling of the day was by George Stewart & Co., aud this selling was a puzzle that all were trying to guess. It was variously guessed to be short wheat for Hutchinson and long wheat for Cudahy or Linn. This much attention is given to the local action because no atten- tion was given by traders to outside influences. Exports were largerthan of late, and receipts for two days wore not large. From the southwest came contradictory re- ports that the winter wheat condition was excellent, with all danger from insects past, and that the Missouristate board of agri- culture's next statement would show a de- crease in the condition of three or four points in that state. Pablic cables showed no change in foreign markets, but private ones were weak, and there was considerab'e e 1- ing for foreign account, both here and in New York. The large increase inthe amount on passage W a wenkening factor, The corn market was strong early and ad- vanced somewhat, but the urgent demand from May shorts to cover, which was ex- peeted, did not material There was plenty for sale, and that delivery suffered a sharp decline, which was participated in to some extent by later deliveries. The ocsti- mate of S84 for to-morrow’s receipts gave great encouragement to the bears and its effect was immediately noticeable. Large recoipts for seve st have beon accounted for on the theory of deliveries on May contracts, but such explanation was not Sible any longer and the short sellers more confident.
