NINETEENTH YEAR A RIOT IN DULUTH. Bloody Encounter Between Strikers and Police. SEVERAL KILLED AND WOUNDED. Scenes of Slaughter Frightiul to Behold. PISTOLS, STONES AND CLUBS. They Are Used With Fatal Effect By the Combatants. A MOB OF SEVERAL THOUSAND. The Militia Ordered Out and Quiet Finally Restored—List of the Dead and In. jured Men, Desperate Strikers. Dururi, July 6'—The laboring men’s strile, which has been in progress soveral days, culminated this afternoon in a bloody war between the strikers aud policemen. Thirty determined policemen were pitted against 8,000 desperate strikers armed with pistols, stones and clubs. Four thousand men were employed on street and sewer improvements at $1.50 per day until last ‘fuesday, when Mfteen hundred struck for an advance of 25 cents per day. The contractors refused to accede to the demand. The strikers had many re- cruits each day. and the mob finally increased to nearly three thousand. There had been ugly rumors of the determined attitude of the strikers all day, and preparations had been made by the police for any emergency. All duy long men have been at work on the Fifth street contract, but about 3 o'clock the strikers compelled them to desist. At 8:30 o'clock a crowd of strikers had reached Third street and Tenth avenne west, where the shade of trees and the known determin- ation of the police at Garfleld avenue decided them to wait. About 4:30 & mob headed by a number of hot-headed meu rallied and started back for the sewer trench, They were infuriated by the pres- ence of the police and their control of the situation. Half an hour later they made & rush for the cordon of police. The police drew their clubs and revolvers. Seeing there was no use to bother with the clubs, they fired into the angry mob. A volley, and one striker lay dead, while scven more were wounded, some most scriously. One police- man was shot through the jaws. Three men are dead and twelve or fifteen wounded. The strikers started from Twentieth avenue, while another body came down from Third street by Fifteenth avenue and made a rush with cinbs and rocks, Tne police stood their ground. Who did the first firing isnot known. As the strikers made the rush u single shot was fired, then crack, crack. crack, went the rifles of the police, follcwed by a fusilade from the strikers’ re- volvers. After the first fire came an awful hush, as the combatants were appalled at the awful result of their work, On the walk in front lay a man shot through the head. Soveral . more were bleeding from ghastly wounds. At 5:45 company K, of the state militia, ar- rived, and with bayonets drove the crowds from Michigan street. The mayor then made a speech, ordering tho crowd to disperse. The police and militia then drove the crowds from all the streets. At 6 o'clock the strikers bad dispersed. Following is & list of the dead and wounded: One striker, shot through the heart; Tom Fitsimmons, shot through the back, died to. night; Alfred Anderson, a striker, shot in the chest, will probably die; George Pellitier, a street car driver, shot in the head; Bd Cummings, a striker, stabbed in the groin with abayonet; York Castigan, a striker, dangerously shot in the shouider; Hoken Benson, a striker, shot in the upper leg, may die. Of the police force the following were ‘wounded: Captain Thomas McLaughlin, stab in hip; Sergeant Clements, shot in the hands; OfMcer O'Donnell, abdomen: Smallet, foot; Harri- gan, thigh; Hayden, arm; Donavan, face and hip; Walkoriah, face and tnigh; Kil- gore, shoulder. sy THE JOHNSTOWN HORROR. The Coroner's Jury Holds the Propri- ecors of the Dam Responsible. Jouxstows, Pa.,' July 6.—After consider- g all the evidence in connection with the Johinstown horror, the coroner's jury to- wight finally rndered the following verdict: We, the undersigned, a jury of inquest empanelled to investigate the cause of the death of Ellen Hite on the 38lst day of May, after hearing the testi- mony, do find that Ellen Hite came to her death from drowning, and the drowning wag caused by tho breaking of the South Fork dam. We further find from the testi- mony and what we saw on the ground that there was not a sufficient outlet for wuste water, nor was the dam constructed suffi- clently strong nor of proper material to withstand tho overflow, and here we find the owncrs of said dam were culpable in wot making it as safo as snould have been done, especially in view of tho fact thata population of many thousands were in the valley below. We hold that the owners are responsible for the fearful loss of Life and property resulting frow the break- ing of the du POINTS FROM PARIN, A Variety of Interesting Items From the French Capital. [Copyriyht 1889 by James Gordon Bennett.| Panus, July 6. —|New York Herald Cabie— Special to Tue Bee.]—The Parisian summer 18 now at white heat. The thermometer at the pigeon shooting club in the Bois de Bo- logue this aftercoon wus 85 in the shade. The wind is southwesterly und seems to parch the leaves, which are already turning browun. The Bois de Bologne continues to be the fashionable rendezyous for horseback riders. The women have now adopted the straw hat, and the effect of the amazon cos- tume 15 very pleasing. ‘The political situation is that of a calm be- forca storm. The chambers do not seem suy longer te represent the nation and, now that the budget is voted, the wish of almost everyons who is not a deputy, is that the chamber should get itself out of the way as quietly as possible aud not wash any more dirty linen in public. Half a dozen different matters came before the chamber of deputies to-day, the mogy interesting to the general Ppublic belng the bill relutive to the construc- tho i { THE OMAHA SUNDAY Fat OAMHA, SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1839~SIXTEEN PAGESD PAGES 1. tion of various railway lines of strategi- cal importance in the south of France. It was proposed to concede the lines in question to the Southern Rail- way company. Notwithstanding this, there was an observation from M. Montane that the matter . was important enough to be looked after by the state itself. This the reading of the bill was maintained. M. De Latre recommended the government to hurry on the construction of the projected line, stating that the French defenses on the southeastern frontier were alarmingly in- forior to those possessed by Italy. The bill was voted without division. Principal among the lines projected is the one running from Nice to Draguignan, The extreme loft have proved that they are not above or below sacrificing their prin- ciples to the needs of the moment. The dep- uties of this varty met to-day to decide what should be their attitude with respectto arrest 23 of the new military bill, relative to the military service of ecclesiastical students and young men studying for the literary professions, According to to the reading adopted by the chamber no dispensation is to be accorded ty the classes in question. The senate, however, with more consideration of the opinions of Catholics, who described the measure as downright persecution, passad an amendment by which the classes in question were required to serve only one year. M. Weckersheimer, one of the mem- bers of the extremo left, having been assured by the minister of war that ecclestastical students would be required to serve in the ranks in time of peace and wouldonly be em- ployed in the ambulance corps in war time, the deputies of party decided not to oppose the wilitary bill, or in other words, to aceept the compromise proposed by the sen- ata, M. Yules Guizot, who returned from St. Etienne this morning, acquainted M. Carnot and his colleagues of the cabinet with the resuits of the inquiry which has been opened respecting the cases of the explosion in the Verpilleux mine. Every possible precaution, it appears, had been taken, and tho catas- trophe was one of those which set at defi- ance all human foresight. “Every effort,” continues the minister of public works, ‘*has been made both to rescue the victims and to alleviate the suffering of their families.’ Constan, who had remained at St. Ktienne, had placed 80,000 francs at the disposal of the prefect of Loire. After hearing the report of ecach of the ministers present the cabinet subscribea 300 francs in aid of the families of the victims of the disaster. Subscriptions for the same object have been opened in all local centers and several influcatial Paris newspapers. M. De Lunessau, deputy of Seine, is an- other Lord Charles Beresford. The French navy, if not aiready zone to the dogs, is, in s opinion, on its wuy towards that unde- sirable bourne. The mancouvers of the channel and Mediteranean squadrons that have been going on this week only confirm M. De Lanessau in his pessimessitic belief, and he has accordingly written to the min- ister of marine to inform him that he M. De Lanessau will put the question in the chamber on Monday regarding the immedi- ate measures to be taken towards remedying the defects of the French navy aud provid- ing for the defense of Freuch coasts, If M. De Lanessau is reliable authority the French chauncl-Atlantic squadrons com- bined are not strong enough to pre- vent the German fleet from eftecting a junction with the Italion floot in the Mediteranean, Then, agawn, a French squadron in the last named waters could neither hope to scope successfully with the combined Italian and Austrian flects nor prevent the bombardment of southern ports. During the naval manevvers which M. De Lanessau cites to strengthen his position, the attacking fleet succeeding in entering Cherbowg without difficulty. There was an unusuaily large attendance at this afternoon’s performance of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. A large proportion of those present had been attracted to the Neuilly camp by the announcement that the equestrinn skill of Colonel Cody's cowboys was to be put to the test in riding vicious French horses of which thoy knew nothing whatsoever. Certain Parician gentlemen, who fancied thav tho exhibition of bucking horses was conducted with animals to display a wild- ness they had long before had taken out of them, laid heavy wagers with other mem- bers of the jockey cleb who had confidence in the genuineness of the bucking horse act, that they could produce an animal which a cowboy could not saddle, bidle and ride in the time usually devoted to that portion of performance. The horse selected was Loretif, a powerful black stal- lion, seventeen hands high, belonging to M. Tolland, that had acquired a well- merited reputation for viciousness by killing two men who had attempted to break him into the saddle and bridle. He was not brought to the camp until a few minutes be- fore the commencement of the performance, and when the time came for bucking horses he was turned loose into the arena with the bronchos and other horses used in the act. He had nov gone far before a lasso, thrown by Tony E. Squival, settled around bis neck, and this novel experience was such a sur- prise that he offered no serious resistance to being saddled and bridled. Then he ap parently realized the situation and while the sual Dbusiness was in progress he made things particularly lively for those who were bolding him, After five or six bron- chos had been ridden Laretif was lea for- ward and before he knew what was to be done with him, Jim Kidd, a Wyoming cow- boy, was on his back. For a few minutes Laretif showed that in the art of bucking he had nothing w learn from his American brother, He alternately pawed the air with his fore and hind feet, gave leaps and did his level best to unseat his rider, but all i vain, Presently he gave a struggle and allowed Kidd to put him through s paces around and around, while the delighted audience arose to its feet, cheering and waving hats and handkerchiefs with enthusiasm. Pres- ently Kidd pulled up, another cowboy got on behind him and Laretif, after a brief struggle, was forced to carry a double load around the arena. Mr, Tillead was tha first to declare that the performance was & magnificent exhibitian of equestrian skill, and the disappointed backers of Lartf, although they had as much as 50,000 francs at stake on him, did noueven attempt to claim a foul. Even tha other's hors scemed to epjoy the scene. Among those present ¢t this interesting exhibition was a squad of Uncle Sam’s sailor boys from the United States apprentice training ship Jamestown, now at Cherbourg i als0 & detachmont of one hundred soldiers of the line whom General Saussier had sent to occupy the seats that are reserved for the garrison of Paris at all performances of the Wild West show.

New OrLeAxs, July 6.—[Special Telegram to Tue Beg.|—Never inthe memory of the oldest nhabitant has tne Crescent City shown such enthusiasm over anythine as she does over the presence of the Maryland pug- ilist camp, St. Charles, Canal, Carondelet streets, and all the artereries leading thereto are a surging mass of bumanity, and at the time of this writing there is fully 5,000 men congregated n front and in the vicinity of Moreaw's hotel on Canal street, where Kilrain s dining, all anxious to catch a glimpse of the idol of the hour. The cheering and waving of hats and handkerchiefs beggars description. Every other man wears Kilrain's colors, anu the gamins on the streets hawk his picture around and do a rushing trade. Despite the croakings of those to whom the wish was father to the thought, Kilrain’s special ar- rived at New Orleans at 10:58 prompt, and as the cars drew into the Queen & Crescent depot such a shout went up as made the welkin ring. A special train left the city at 7:15 this morning conveying Stevenson, Harding, Mixe Donavan, Dennis Butler and A, Beeman, They were bound for Pearl river, to meet the incoming train bear- ing with it the man who is to face John L. next Monday. At 9:50 your representative was on board grasping the hand of Pony Moore, the father-in-law of Mitchell and the principal backer of Kilraio, and an old time acquaintance of ‘Tur Bre reporter. Intro- ductions to both Mitchell and Kilrain fol- lowed, and a delightful time was spent talk- ing over the prospects of tho forthcoming battle and exchanging opinions with the gentlemen comprising the as o what the outlook All Kilrain asks is fair He 18 in splendid condition. His face be the unmistakable appearance of perfect health, Turnbull, of the New York Herald, sai “‘The fight will be between a quarter horse and a mile heater. Jake isu'ta fool. He knows Sully’s tricks. You bet he will make mincemeat of him. Don’'t be mistaten about men. Jake has more staying power than Sullivan every time, and as for scientific fighting, why, there is no comparison.” Charley Mitchell says: *I have Jake where Sullivan will never get at him. When you see him strip you will agree with me.” The reception atthe depot and the progress to the clubamounted to au ovation. Thestreets were crowded, cheering all along the line. Kilrain made a most favorable impression with those privileged to meet him. Re- sponding to a call of “Kilrain,” **Kilrain,” heo said that he came to fight perfectly fair and square, and all he asked he felt he would get from the southern people, and that was fair play. After resting for a couple of hours carriages were taken and a drive around the city was taken. Pony Moore has $15,000 to bet on Jake, and he says that should Kilrain get whipped he wilt at once challenge uhe slugger on behalf of Mitchell for $10,000 a side and the championship, Roach, ot the Baltimore American, says: *Of course Kilrain will win, He is in bet- ter condition than he ever was, and Sullivan is far wide of what he should be,” Av Chattanooga the Maryland man was cheered, and a Catholic priest who was in the depot blessed the “‘pug” and hoped he would win, Governor Nicholls told Tue BEe man to- day he knew his duty and would do it. This means the governor will try and stop the fight. Adjutant General Fairies threatens to call out the militia, and the authorities generally are flapping their wings, but the profane put thew fingers to their nose and spread their fingers out. It is no use surmising who will be referee, a dozen names are mentioned. Aleck Brew- ster, who acted at the Sullivan-Ryan fight, has left the city, so that he cannot be called upon, The battle ground is not yet selected. The Western Union and Associated press representatives are the maddest men in New Orleans. They don't know a whit more than the corner loafer, but pretend they are wise and look owlish. Despite the long odds offered in the pool rooms, no betting has been done. The men who prance around and say Sullivan will kill Kilrain in one round, wont say to the extent of $30 to 850 that he will win in six rounds. Nobody would veunture $100 to a $1,000 that Kilraio would go under the first round, Sullivan has lain low all day. Fickle minded clamor has never asked for him once, but be has been doing good training, not to pull down his flesh, but to prevent it accumu- lating, for it is acknowledged that the gen- tleman from the Hub gathers beef in a most distressing manner. Tug Bee man saw him exercising. He jumped the rope 646 times and quit trembling 1 the legs and manifestly winded. His work at the bag punching was 1warvelous, The first blow he struck ripped it up as if s koife hadcutit, Again he tapped it four times atlightning speed before it passed, His physique is perfect, The muscles stand out magnificently and work smoothly like a fine piece of mechanism, Late last night a conference was held and it was consiaered fairly satisfactory, yet there are mauny crooked places to make straight. Renaud looks after the excursion party. Duffy 18 charged with getting the principals on the ground. The tickets for the fight, $15 each, entitle the holder to s camp stool. The specials leave the northeastern depot to-morrow at mid- night. There has been about seven hundred tickets sold. ‘The St. Charles hotel is the great centre for sports and pewspaper men. Tug Bre is the only northwestern paper with a special commission on the grounds, and it is flatter- 1ng to hear the favorable comments passed I upon its management' gét-up in having | their own correspondept on the ground. &3 A good many westérn kporting men are hero. A good many are serfously asking, ‘“Will there be a fight!” I amiatmost inclined to think that there is a ibility it may never come off. Why does each party go ot to the fight sscorted by a bodyguard of regulators armed with pistols and possibly with Win- chesters? Cleary’s beeflng would almost breed insubordination in & battalion of soldiers. Mitchell and he have a long score to settle, and the gallant Mike openly declares he will knock the stuffing out of Kilrain's second. Said a sport last night: ully has got to win fairly if he can, but he's got to put his jags to sleep.” Other straws too numerous to mention in- dicate trouble. Kilrain stock has unques- tionably gone up. The Sullivan support comes from the tough element. That for Kilramn is recruited from the respectable portions of the community. This fact is in- disputable. Summed up Sullivan’s men hang on to the great knockout powers of the Boston man, shutting their eyes to the fact that while Kilrain has been practically in training (I now quote Donovan) for two yoars, living & clean, temperate life, Sullivan has acted the roll of a debauchee and drunkard and is now suffering from having three month’s train- ing into six weeks. Kilram and party attended a sparring match to-night at the St. Charles theatre and received a rousing reception. He had to cowme before the foot lights and thank the audience for their kindness. The whole house rose to greet him, and the cheering continued for some minutes, Three Pinker- ton men are in the city, arriving by the Ilii- nois Ceatral, It is believed they are here on matters connected Wwith the Cronin mys- tery, Not Afeaid of Interference. NEW OrvLeANs, July 6.—The time when the cars will leave juay be changed at the last momeut, in order to avoid too much pub- licity, and 1f matters are rushed, as it is ex- pected they will be, the articles of agree- ment will be mutually waived in so far as the time of fightng is coneerned, and the men will go into the ring when the first faint rays of day dawn in the sky. Unless tho opinion of able ring tollowers is wrong the fight will hardly last over an hour. If this be the case the entire rt principals, excursionicts and all can get back to the city before the governor cets out of bed unless on this occasion he stays up all night. In order to avoifd the possibility of arrest, it is stated that Sullivan will leave the city atthe conclusion of the battle, and a8 soon as he can dress himself ugain in s street clothes. This is, of course, if he is not too severly punished to travel. It is also fair - to presume that Kilrain will follow the same line of ac- tion. ‘The Sullivan people are speculating on Kilrain’s pluck, and the Kilrain men are worrying themselves about Sullivan's con- dition. Al these topies form subjects for universal discussion, but the rumored threat of the governor to interfere with the fight was the subject most talked of at the hotels and among the friepds of the two men this afternoon. One of Sul*van’s pranngers said: *I have consulted legal talent and we have found out there ‘i3 :%in in Louisiana’s laws that can touch s for prize fighting, no matter how partisan” the interpretation may be. There is nothing in the world that will prevent a decision of the merits of the two men. If the military power of the state 15 called out and is able to reach the scene of battle, then the mill may be temporarily postponed, but if we are interfered with in our rights the people in authority will be held to legal account. If Kilrain is as anxious to fight as we know Sullivan is the two men will be brought together. We have a reputation as sporting men to maintain, The tight has been written up with anusual thoroughness, and we can not afford to be at the head of a fluke. The battle ground is on private prop- erty, and Ican not s2ehow wo can possibly be interfered with. I'promise you there will be a fight Monday.* Sullivan's Seconds Chosen. New OrLEANS, July 6.—The sccnes are very animated this afternoon. Pugilists from every section of the couatry, sporting characters who have never missed a fight and correspondents who have done every battle during the last fifteen years are here, They mingle treely and each bias his opinion a8 10 the outcome of the great mill, which he expresses With uncommon frequency. Sullivan continues to improve with the ap- proach of the day which is to make or mar him forever, but Muldoon’s watchfulness and scientific care shows no abatement what- ever. Muldoon’s reputation as an unequalled trainer is established beyond the possibility of dispute or cavil, He found his man a physical wreck, weakened by diseaso and bloated by dissipation and in threo months he has brought, him to a condition of physical perfection which is the wonder of the pugilistic world. Sullivan’s seconds were decided upon six weeks ngo, but choice’is kept profound secret, 1t is thought safe to predict that they are Joe Coburn and Mike Cleary.

DISRAELI'S ODIOUS COMPARISON. of the British Recalled as to the Cost of A Speech Premier a Monarchy and a Republic. English Annuities. [Copright 1859 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoxooN, July 6.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to T Bee.]—There can be no doubt, und it is no use disguising the fact, that the avplication for two additional grants of money to members of the royal family is exciting a good deal of discontent on the surface. How deep down 1t goes it woula be very difiicult as yet to judge. The classes ave not opposed to the annuities now asked for, or, if they are, say nothing about it. The masses look upon the matter with a good deal of disapprobation. In radical con- stituencies the application is vehemently condemued. “I could not hope to retain my seat,” more than one friend has assured mo, “if I voted for these grants.” Conservative working men have not been neard from on the subject, but there ave not many persons who would be disposed to assert that the grants are really popular among them. They will be voted by the house of commons as a mutter of course, but that certainly does not prove that theyare popular out doors. 1 have spoken to some very intelligeat work- ing men on the question and what they say comes very much thus: *We are paying too mnch now for the royal family. They ought to support each othier out of the money they draw from the nation. The queen 1s rich and why should she not give something to the Prince of Wales' chilaren.” ~How do you know she has not alreaay done 50 I asked an acquamtance, Ho did not know. Probably the truth lies quite in the opposite Girection from that which he supposed. As for the money paid now to the royal family, it amounts to £543,000 a year, as the last official fiuance accounts show. Out gf this £385,000 is paid the queen for ex penses and sataries of the household, aliow- ances for speeial services, ete. For her majesty’s private purse £60,000 is alloted. In addition to this sha receives from the duchy of Laucuster about. £45,000 & yenrs 20Ut “of these révenues it is alleged, and alleged as u grievance, that her majesty has made large savings and that she is immensely rich. It i8 very doubtful, but supposing it to be true, is there uny shame in the sovereign living within the means provided by parliament? 1t is at least & phenomenon In forty reigns parliaments have frequently been called upon to pay the debts of a wonurch or heir presumptive. No such claims have been made durmg the present reign. ‘The arrangement with the queen made by parliament in June, 1537, has never been departed from. It would certainly be a very strange proceeding for parliament to step in now, after a lapso of Afty-two years, and say to the queen: *You have honorably fulfilled your part of the contract, but we must require you to tell how much meney granted to you has been saved, how much expended, and what your investment has brought in,” I doubt whether any house of commons will ever treat a sovereign so shabbily as that, and no one will pretend that the queen has done anything to merit such treatment. 1remember a speech of Mr. Disraeli, in which he saught to show tbat a republic costs much more than a monarchy, and he pitched upon tise republic of the United States as an example. How did he work out his figures? By taking all the members of congress and adding the amount, with mileage, to the president’s salary ‘and then adding the sala- ries of members of the state legislatures until he got a total of about £300,000 a year to set off gainst the queen’s £335,000, This struck n#h the time—I believe the speech was made in 1872—as being very ingenious, but not staictly relevant to the real issue. Is it quite fair to put the salaries of members of congress into immediate comparison with the direct cost of the crown. We, in this coun- try, paid members of parlisment in former times, and may do s0_again, but the civil list remains the same, Tt would not be dimin- ished if members of parliament once more recewved salaries, and the fullacy of Lord Beaconsfield’s comparison would then at once become visible, Whether right or wrong, the people of this country have decided on a monarchial form of government. Well, then, they ought 1 maintain it with becoming dignity, and the children of the Prince of Wales are in tho direct line of succession. Prince Albert Victor will one day in turn be Prince of Wales and Princess Louise will be the Prin- cess royal of England. Are t.ey to be left penniless! They cannot go out into the world to earn a living or to starve. If they were found 10 that plight I feel pretty sure that & subscription would be promptly started 1 the United States for their ben- efit. What are they to do? TLe Prince of Wales is allowed £40,000 a oar by the nation, and he gets perhaps £20,000 a year—the exact amount is not known—from the revenues of the duchy of Cornwall. He has o subscribe largely to numerous charities, to keep up a costly es- tablishment, to entertain on a great scale, to leave the present behind wherever he goes, and he has had to educate a large family. “Can it rcasonably be expected that he should now settle £10,000 or 80 on his eldest son. It must also be taken into account, in endeavoring o get at all sides of the subject, that the grants now made to the royal family are on a much lower scale than they used to be. George the ‘Third’s eldest son, when Prince of Wales, had an annuity of £60,000 & vear, aud in his accounts will be found such entries 1o the supply grant: To discharge the Prince of Wales' debts, £101,000; ditto for works at Carlton House, £55,200; incidental expense, £100,000, and 80 on. The Princess of Wales at that time had £35,000 a year. The present Princess of Wales gets only £10,000, Prin. cess Charlotte, on her marriage with Prince Leopold, when she was the eldest daughter of the Prince of Wales, in the same position as Princess Louiso of Walos is now, received from parliament £6,000 a year and her hus- band £50,000. It is said that £6,000 a year will bo asked for in bohalf of Princess Louise, one-tonth the amount given to Prin- coss Charlotte, leaving out the £500,000 a year paid to hor husband. A very slight oxamination of the past will show that wo are {mproving, but i spite of that fact it can not bo forgotton that we are not only living in a democratic age, but under a democracy mildly tempered by the survival of monarchial institutions. Therefora thero will bo more and more grumbling at theso royal grauts overy timo they are asked for, and the parliamentary committes 80on to bo appointed would do a great public service if t would once for all put tho whole matter on an enduring basis. Lot it bo settlod who shall bo oligible to receive grants and how much these grants shall amount to, and thon wa shall, for the fature, bo saved & recur- rence of somewhat ignominous brawls in partiament, and what might possibly somo day prove a serious danger to the crown will be averted, A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, GHOSI.

White Ghost is accorded with the most influence of any man on this resery- ation, and was one of the principal opposers of tho bill last year when tho commission had the mass convention of the whole num- ber of agencics, and in reply v a question White Ghost eaid in substanco as follows: “When a man looks out for his own living it is the land first, for nations own the earth and depend upon the earth. The earth is the breast from which to wet their living. Let us look at the way in which wo may live, and this we want to do in a quiet and peaceable manner. We aro yet young in knowledge and wa nt to go slowly in theso matters. Tho tribe that is a tiller of tho soil can not make its living on such soil as this, which was left to us, Ihave seon the lands of white meu in the cast. Iknow there are many places which are rough and stand on end, but the white man can put something on his land and make things grow. We Indians can’t do that. I wish the Great Father would have more mercy on us. The white men have come along and driven my beasts out of tho country, and so T must now do something to uico my living. I can't do without my Great Father helps me, and these commig: sioners are going to make things 8o I can be helped.

JIndge Tuley Kefuscs a Writ of Ha- beas Corpus. Cuicago, July 6.—Judge Tuley refused this morning to issue a writ of habeas cor- vus for John F. Beggs, lawyer and senior warden of Camp 20, Clan-na-Gael, which, it is alleged, condemned Dr, Cronin to death. ‘The court based the refusal of the writ on @*‘gronnd that the petition prayed for Beggs' absolute release from jail, and did mnot ask for the alternative re- lif of admission to bail, and also because the state attorney had mot been notified. The judge directed, there- fore, that tho petition be amended if it wero desived to release the prisoner on bail; that the state’s attorney be notified and that the matter belmd before the court agamn on Tuesday. The petition which this ruling was based on was presented by Beggs' at- torney ana set forth the facts of Beggs' in- dictment and detention, and declared that the evidence agamst him was msufficient, being wholly inferentiul. Judge Longe- necker stated he had received a telegram from Baker this morning stating the pro- ceedines in the Burke case were getting along satisfactorily. Sl el ey THE BLACK REPUBLIO.

The letter says that iff Switzerland continues to protect revolutions ists who threaten tho internal peace and security of the Ger man_empire, the powers will be asked to. consider Swiss neutrality.

This unfriendly action will prejudice Ger- many’s prestige in Zavzibar and along the coast.

Thh weather was flue and there was o tolerble breeze and a big programme, The Irox allowed the Valkyrie five minutes and five seconds on a fifty mile course from Hunter's Quay, and, coming down the loch at a stifish pace, cleared the line first. A smart trip down the channel ensued, Some clever worl was noticeable in both cases, and at times the contest took quite an unex- pected turn, On the run up the channel the Irex, however, got to the front and finished in 4 hours, 88 minutes and 48 scconds. ‘who Valkyrie's time was 4 hours, 50 minutes and 24 seconds, and she took second prize. There is tallc in the Clyde yacluing clrclos of a race between the Valicyrio and the Thistle, last year's British champian, at present being filled up. This would give a better indica~ tion than any yet shown of the Valkyrie's ehances for the Amarican cup, B —— A Boy Drowned.
