The lord mayor then presented the petition from the corporation of Dublin, praying for the release of the men now in prison for par- ticipating in dynamite outragos.

JOY AT PARIS AND AVRE, French People Rejolee at tha Glad Tidings Flashed Over the Cable, PARIS, Feb. 12.—The news of the sate ar- rival at New York of the steamship La Gas- cogno was 1ecelved here shortly after 10 o'clock last night In a dispatch from the Associated press. The universal joy at the gratifying news was marked, It spread with amazitg rapidity to the cafes and theaters and everywhe where there were assem- | blages of persons, and warm cheers greeted | its “announcement. During the night the nows of the steamer's safety was the sole topie of conversation. President Faure was attending a performance at the Theater Francais, and tho news was instantly con- veyed to him. In but a short time after the first dispatch announcing the safety of the steamer had reached Paris a large crowd of persons gathered at tho office of the Cam- pagnio Generalo Transatlantique and ex- citedly clamored for details of the eventful voyage and congratulated the officials of the line upon thoe joyful intelligence, At Havre, tho home port of La Gascogne, the relief was ns, sald: “The persons to whom the petition re- fers were convicted years ago upen charges | of being connected movement In Ireland. fenses were, they have been more than amply punished.” (Cries of Hear! Hear!) He prayed in the name of Justice and with a view to removing a just cause of discontent among the Irish people that they be now lib- erated, The petition was handed to the clerk of the Heuse and the deputation withdrew. The privilege of appearing at the bar of House is one that the lord mayors of Dublin alone have enjoyed since 1813, Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary secretary for the foreign office, in reply to a question, said that Sir Julan Pauncefote, the British ambassador in Washington, had been in- structed to make a report on an alleged in- tention.of the Unjted States government to stop gambling in wheat. John P. Nolan (Parneilite) moved the adoption of an expression of regret that the queen’s epeech omitted reference to the ¢ vere distress prevailing in Ireland. He sald he hoped the government would start relief works. Mr. Scxton (anti-Parnellite), in seconding the n otion, said it was the universal opmion that In Ireiand 1894 had been the worst year since the fomine year of 1870, Yet the gov- crnmient was getting £200,000 more revenue from Treland, while spending very much less than the late government. L. W. Russel and Dillon supported the resolution. John Morley admitted that the Trish members were doing their duty in ol ing atteation to the distress in Irelaal, 1Mo heped, however, that they would not press the resolution to a dlvislon. A government inquiry into the condition of affairs had Leen instituted in the autumn. This had resulted on learning of the failure of the rotato crop In a zone extending from Lovy): Swiliby, county Donegal, to Cape Clear, Cork, in a decision to supplement the poor lnws by relief works in the form of employing unskiiled labor in repairing and fencing the pubiic roads. Drainage works had also heen suggested, but these, besides being unnceded would employ only skilled labor. He himse't favored tho construction. of light rallways, but vnfortunately the money for that pur- rose would not go into the pockets of the needy, while advancing money to small land- holders would have a demoralizing tendency. He stated that works would be opened to ve- lieve 7,000 families. Each employe would recelve 7 shillings weekly. He thought it needless to ask Parliament for more than £80,000. He would refer to the matter again when introducing the seed potato bill. Mr. Nolan's motion was rejected by a vote of 200 to 13. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, replying to a question asked by Edward Henage, liberal- unfonist, aid he sympathized with the desire to suppress gambling, but was afraid that the time had hardly arrived for an international agreement for suppressing gambling in ficti- tlous wheat and other commodities. with an Insurrectionary Whataver their of- COLOMBIAN REBELLION SERLOUS, Government Does Not Allow Any Uafavor- wb'o Reports 10 Go Out, NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—A late arrival from the Isthmus of Panama brings information ot the seriousness of the revolution now in pro- gress In the republic of Colombia. Battles have been fought at several places in the in. terlor, which thie government reports as dis- astrous to the revolutionists, but the agents of the rebels as this 15 not true. The activity of the government in chartering the coastwise steamer Premier and forwarding arms and ammunition to the southern depart. ments shows the anxlety felt. No reports unfavorable to the government are allowed to be printed. Local wails and personal let. tors are subject to luspection, and letters of significance antagonistic to the government + would result in the arrest of the writer, Al passenger ships arriving at Colon are closely inspected for suspected sympathizers of the rebels and munitions of war and the cable lines are also under surveillance. Affairs on the fsthmus are very dull and seemingly quiet, but an outbreak is imminent at any time, s the laborers employed by the Panama railroad and canal companies are on the verge of a strike, owing to low wages and Ins creased cost of living since January 1, when an import duty of 10 per cent in all involces went fto effect, and in the event of a strike of raflroad employes there is but: little doubt that the sympathizers with the revolution would take advantage of the situation to se- cure arms and ammunition from the govern ment departments. No one is al'owed on the streets of Pauama and Colon without a pass after 10 p. m., and the police are ready to disperse any crowd, even in the daytime. The presence of the Atlanta at Colon, and the Nymph and the Satellite, two English men-of-war, at Panama, hus a salutary cffect on the dissatisfied employes of the Panama Rallroad company, as heretofore all striki have resulted in the burning and pillaging not only of the raifroad property, but of ali other classes of property, and these people know thit s long as a man-of-war fs In the bay there will be no chance of plunder. ing the stores, as the blue jackets would be sent ashore at ouce to protect property, ED BY Mi X1 AN BANDITS, in & Camp Murdered a Itob CITY OF MEXICO, Feb, ~(Via Laredo) ~Thero were no developments of importance In connection with the Guatemala situatio today. ‘Word has been received from Pueblo of an outrage upon a parly of Awmericans by Mexican bandits, At a tie camp on the Inter- oceanic railroad Captain Willlam Scott, an ex-eaptain of ‘exas rangers, brother KIL| Party of Labores a his John, another Awer'ean named Franklin and @ woman wers surrounded by sixty Mexican bandits, who shot the men down, robbed them of everything of value and abused the woman shamefully.

Mexico's Correspondenco with Guatemala Being Published in the OiMelal Daily. CITY OF MEXICO, Feb, 12.—The Mexican official government daily this week begins the publication of the official correspondence between Mexico and Guatemala over the threatening international boundary dispute. | The correspondence is very voluminous, ex- tending over a number of years, and is given publication by tho Mexican government for the purpose of allowing the Mexican people to judge of the merits of the case according to_their individual tastes. Tho daily drills of volunteers for the Guatemalan war are gaining steadily in num- bors in this capital and throughout the re- public. Although the policy of the govern- mant is to hold the people in check and give out to the press nothing which will tend to influence public sentiment or lead to further demonstrations on the Guatemalan questions, still the war fever runs high and is evi- dently on the increase in all directions. The volunteers are, for the most part, from the middlo and upper classes, and if the present excitement does nothing more than it has already done it will see large results in the unity of sentiment in favor of General Diaz and " the present administration, which ap- parently is gzining a decper hold upon the Mexican people than ever before. General Ignatio Tepete, the commander-in- chief of the 000 Mexican troops now walt- ing orders on’ the Guatemalan border, has his scattered forces In good order, although the soldiers are hungry for war, CHINESE ENVOYS SENT HOME.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—The house com- mittes on ways and means consumed the day, one more of the ten days within which the treasury has an option to make the new binds payable in gold, and decided Dprogress toward an agresment a plan be reported to the house. After being closcted for two hours with Secretary Car- lisle, the committeo talked over the eituation, delegated the framing of an agreement to a subc of three democrats and two republicans, and late in the afternoon learned | that its subcommittee had dropped partisan differences and found common ground. The resclution reported by the quintet at the last meeting was one to authorize the secre- | tary of the treasury to issue $63,000,000 in 8 per cent bonds, payable in-gold, with the Droviso that none of the proceeds shall be used for current expenses, and further pro- vision requested by Secretary Carlisle re pealing the law which requires the govern- ment to redeem national bank notes re- | requiring banks to redeem their notes in the first instance. Inquiry was made if there was a minority report, and Mr. Reed said there was none, although he belleved a wiser plan would be to provide for increasing the revenues. Mr. Bynum of Indiana proposed his rezolu- tlon reciting that Secretary Carlisle had ad- mitted that the Issue of gold bends would | compel all future Issues to be made payable in gold; that bimetallism had been declared to be the policy of the government; that this would be an abandonment of bimetallism and therefore declaring the committee considered it Inexpedient to adopt the president’s recom- mendations. Mr. Bryan of Nebraska offered a resolution recommending that the secretary of the trea ury should pay all obligations of the govern- ment in either gold or silver, whichever is most convenient to use. After a brief dis- cussion the committee adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow. Sccretary Carlisle came before the commit- tee shortly after 10 o'clock. He presented a copy of the contract which had been called for. It was drawn in legal form and bore the signatures of John G. Carlisle, secretary of the treasury; J. Pierrepont Morgan, for J. Morgan of London; August Belmont, for N. Rothschild, and was witnessed by Francis Lynde Stetson of New York, formerly Presi- dent Cleveland's law partner. The principal features of the contract were made known in the president’s message. Upon cne point the secretary particularly enjoined the committee to maintain secrecy, and that was regarding the dates for making the payments for the bonds. He asked for secrecy, he said, at the request of the financiers who have agreed to take the bonds, because they feared the bankers would corner the gold of the world against them if the time it would be needed was known and the methods by which it was to be obtained. Accordingly the com- mittee adopted a resolution pledging its mem- bers not to reveal the terms of the document 50 far as it concerned the payment. Many questions were asked the secretary, which he arswered in order, giving the amounts of all kinds of money In the treasury and much other information not new. When Mr. Reed asked why the plan which he recently proposed in the house as a substi- tute for the administration bill was not a sat- Isfactory measure, the secretary proceeded to note a feature of the act of 1874, which made upon mittee | | present of cotton movemen to porte and northern and eastern points from ‘begtaning of sea- 1, 1895, together with returns made by the department’s comnty agents of son to January the amount plantations uary 1, an by mills as b January 1, sh ment ‘was 6, plantations, 461,62 in of cotton interfor d the hought wthe 728 towns ambunts from Septem total bales; remaining railway remaining etc., ‘2,080, 739; bought by mills, ; total crop, 9,088,00 on on Jan- reported ber 1 to move- on Tho following is the percentage by states North Carolin: Georgla, 94; FI sippi, 98; 90; Tennestce, Oklahoma, §! and Kansas, §7 The proporti 29 to 83.9 per The average December 4. crop is slightly Loulisiana m, 87; South orida, 87; Alabama, § 89; Texas, ! 90; Indian Terr| Missotrl, Virginia, ; average, 89.9.

The back one by selves at the stating had not been before noticed in the financial debates, and which seemed to greatly in- validato Mr. Reed's scheme. This clause binds the secretary to the redemption of na- tional bank notes by treasury notes when the holders formally request it. Consequently the withdrawal of the greenbacks into treas- ury, the secretary argued, would not stop th drain of gold upon it, but would merely add another step to the process of obtaining gold, as financlers could procure the national bank notes and sccure treasury notes for them, In effect, therefore, the government is bound to redeem bank notes in gold. To obviate this difficulty tho secretary suggested that the committec adopt a resolution to comrel the national banks to maintain an agency for the redemption of their notes and to relieve the treasury of all burden in the premises, There was a disposition on the part of cer- tain members to Intimate in_their questions that the administration had shown favoritism in its negotiation of the private contract, and the question was directly asked whether the bonds were not to be sold at a rate unneces- sarily low, considering the prevalent prices in tho “market. Secretary Carlisle admitted that the bankers practically had the govern- ment at their mercy, and he was obliged to accept the best terms that could be made with them. ‘That better terms could have been secured he denied emphatically, relat- Ing somewhat in detall the different finan- ciers with whom Assistant Secretary Curtis had talked on his visit to New York, anl those who had visited Washington, In answer to other questions he assurel the committee of his belief that a plan could bo devised to stop the outflow of gold and of his strong hope that the forthcoming issue would maintain the gold at its high water mark for several months, After the _secretary had departed Mr, Cockran of New York announced that he could not support Chairman Wilson's reso. lution, because it was simply a makeshift to meet a present emergency, and offered no help to the treasury in the event of imilar exigencles before the next session of con- gress. Thereupon Mr. Tarsney of Missourl offered a resolution to empower the secretary to fs 3 per cent bonds whenever the needs of the treasury might require them, with the proviso that the praceeds would not be used to pay current expenses. Then a subcommlittee was appointed to draft a plan with Messrs. Wil- son of West Virginia, Turner of Georgla, and McMillin of Tennessee, democrals, and the republicans chose Messrs, Reed of Majne and Hopkins of 1llincls to represent them, and the committee took a reccss to enable the sub- committee to meet.

But when we are dead and gone, the private memorabilia of those who knew what terms were really of- fered the confederacy within ninety days of its total collapse, will show that in the in- dividual judgment of all of the the wis- dom of the situation said *Accept Mr. Watterman concluded as follows: “Born as lowly as the son of God, in a hovel; of what ancestry we know not and care not; reared in penury, squalor, with no gleam of light or fair surroundings; without external graces, actual or acquired; without name or fame or officlal training; it was reserved for this strango being, late in life, to be snatched from obscurity, raised to supreme command at a supreme moment and entrusted with the destiny of a natfon, “Where did Shakespeare get Where did Mozart gt his hand smote the lyre of the Scottish plowman and saved the life of the German priest? God, and God alone, and so surely as these were raised up by God, inspired by God, was Abraham Lincoln, and a thousand years hence no story, no tragedy, no epic poem will be filled with greater wonder, to be followed by mankind with deeper feeling than that which tells of his life and death.” The Marquette club held a banquet at the Grand Pacific hotel in honor of Lincoln.

Whose L AS TRALITORS, Congressman Walker's Arraignment of the Administration, PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12—At the Lin- coln universitly banquet cf the Young Men's Republican club of this city, held in St George's hall tonight, a decided &ensation was created by the speech of Representative James H. Walker of Massachusetts, who achieved a degree of fame by his parlia- mentary encounter in the house with Bourke Cockran. Mr. Walker, who is a member of tho ways and means committee, vigorously denounced President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle for their action in the present crisis, ““The treasury of the country,” he said in part, “is a mirror wherein to see the patriot- ism of the country, but those in power were ashamed to tell the ways and means com- mittce that they made a contract for $60,000,- 000 at 6 per cent, a higher rate of interest than the bonds seil for in New York. Shame on it! Traitors! I mean what I say. They made a contract which they were ashamed to reveal to the ways and means committee, and then pledged the committee to secrecy about the contract. The secretary of the treasury refused to answer a quesiion about that contract. If there had baen the slightest genus of government, of truthfulness or of good faith, the bonds could have been sold from 23 to § per cent. Oh! shame on these men, The Union League club also celebrated Lin- coln’s bithday with an elaborate. dinner, but there were no distinguished outsiders present, MEINLEY'S TRIBUTE TO LINUCOLN, Magnanimity Was the Characte ALBANY, N.

Patriotism moved him at every step. At the beginnin of the war he placed at the head of thre most Important military departments thr of his political opponents—Patterson, Butler and McClellan. He did not propose to make it a partisan war. He sought by every means In his power to enlist all who were patriotic. The world now regards with wo; finite patience, gentleness and kindness with which he bore the terrible burdens of that ars' struggle. Humane, forgiving and suffering himself, he was always peelally tender and considerate of the pe and in his treatment of them was full of those little words which of the same blood as great and hold deeds, lef Trait of Kis VOICE FROM THE WE ST Senator-Elect T on ~ K8 at the Lin. coln Memorial nt New York, NEW YORK, Feb, 12.—Delmonico'’s was tonight the scene of the ninth anuual dinner of the Republican club of New York City to commemorate the SGth anniversary of the birth of Abe Linccln.

He was & unrelenting in h's hatred of the president that he could not rest contest until he had recorded in the volumes of the State Historical soclety a libel on Mrs. Cleveland's ancestors. In an address delivered beforo the State Historical soclety January 13, 1801, he uses the following lane guage: “ It great estates now contested among numerous heirs—same of them of the high- est soclal and political premimence in the unfon (Mrs. Cleveland)—originated in the pricz of a corrupt ancestor (J. B. Folsom), in the first territorial legislature of Nebraska, Just and good history should show and luminate the viclous fact.” “Dr. Miller not lcng since said to me that be sat upon the platform when this address was being delivered, and that he never was 50 dumbfounded in his life, for hg said there was no foundation for such an%accusation. Dr. Miller was an_ officer of that legislature and knew whereof he spoke, He said the Folsoms bought and paid for their property in Omaha the same as others. And, by the way, this was the paragraph that Mr. Boyle requested the late democratic state convention to ask for the expunging of by a resolution, 50 that it would not be accepted as Napoleon I sald of history as ‘A fable agreed on.’ Nearly every old settler who was here in those days, as well as Dr, Miller, knows the accusation to be false, but the day may come when it will be brought up agamnst Mr. Cleveland's chil- dren, and none there will be who can deny it KEPT HIM AWAY FROM CLEVELAND, “Mr. Boyle told at least two cabinet officers qf the vile and obscene language this man used in speaking of Mr. and Mrs, Cleveland, but they took good care that Mr, Boyle did not see the president, s0 he could tell him. One of these gentlemen not long since asked me about the matter, and I replied that I per- sonally knew nothing whatsoever, but that Mr. Boyle had told me the same thing and I believed him. This gentleman then sald that a man who would ask for, accept and hold a position from and under ‘one whom he had $0 vilely abused and traduced must be de= void of all honor, and added that It was safe to say that Mr. Cleveland had been decelved and did he know all this there would be a vacancy in the cabinet in less than twenty= four hours, “In conclusion, to say the least, Mr, Cleve~ land has been very unfortunate fn his selec- tions for office, and he has greatly injured the democratic party, But the party still lives and no error of those temporarily entrusted with its leadership can destroy it." - M DON AL Testify s to my opinion, it might be TRADUCER.
