Won HIS PLEA FOR THE IRISH TENANT Father McFadden Tells of the Sorry Condition of His Parishioners. On Land Valued at 3 Cents an Acre the Landlord Has Grown Rich. Twice Has the Patriot Priest B:en Imprisoned for Protesting Against Their Wrongs Great interest is being manifested in the farewell reception to be tendered to Rev. Father James McFadden, the ‘‘patriot priest of Gweedore,” at Metropolitan Temple, on the evening of March 10. Father McFadden has had a most stormy done by hired labor, would be 4000 times as expensive as the cultivation of the one acrein Meath. A few meager black and white sheep and gaunt red cattle get a scanty living out of the narrow strips of pasturage that lie between the bog holes, and somehow or other the industry of the peasanc has contrived to raise from this worst of land potatoes and oats for food and ‘odder and stones for the building of his thatched hovel with its earthern floor. “I don’t think there are twenty hold- ings in Gweedore that pav the rent snd support the families living in them. The money paid to the landiord represents the savings of the returned miner and farmer from America and Australia and of the factory and Iarvesting work of the men who giimo other districts of Ireland and Great Britain. Eight landlords dispose of the people of Gweedore and they represent, either in their own persons or those of their predecessors a monumental system of robvery. They have sucked the {enant dry of whatever revenue he might have, even to the contributions of charity in the sum of £5000 s cured through my efforis as | have explained. “Oze of the land!ords declared at one of the inquiries instituted that the people ‘could make a livingout of the keip.’ He said nothing about the land. Some of the cruelest cases of eviction on this same man's estates were those of returned Americans, after they had sunk £200 or £300 in the land. Every improvement on tuese lands that nas added value to the original 3 cents an acre is the work of the tenant. But for all this toil it was always the £10 or £15 earned at day laborina foreign land out of which the Jandiord obtained his rent.” The bailiff used 1o be in the houses within a few hours of the | laborers’ return in the fall, and before he bad compieted his rounds had taken up FATHER McFADDEN, the Patriot Priest of Gweedorz, in Whose Honor a Farewell Reception Will Be Given at Metropolitan Temple on the Evening of March 10. experience in his native land, being twice imprisoned for his fearless championship of an oppressed people. On the first occasion, in 1888, he had made an address in behalf of the poor tenants who associated themselves to- gether to defend themselves against the rapacity of the landlords. For this he spent six months in jaii. Upon his release he went over to England and there made protest against the oppression of the peo- ple. Upon his return to his parish he was welcomed by a public demonstration. He made a speech. A policeman lyingina ditch at a distance of several rods re. ported to the authorities what be thonght he had heard. A summons was issued for the police under a law against which | he Lad protested and he refused to re- spond to it. A warrant was issued, which was served by an inspector ot police with drawn sword at the church door when the reverend father came from iton Sunday morning surrounded by his people. The peasants rushed to his assistance, believ- ing, from the rough manner of te officer, that he was being mailtreated. In the scrimmage the officer was killed, A reign of terror in Gweedore followed. Some twenty-two persons were arrested with the priest, and the number increased 10 100 before the trial. Father McFadden was tried not upon Lhe original complaint, but tor the murder of the policeman. Every effort was put forth to secure a con- viction. First the crown securea a change of venue; then a special jury of persons having property valued at not less than £100, and from these, so carefu! was the selection made, forty-two were required to “stand aside.” Still, such was the weight of public opinion sroused everywhere, that the effort failed, and upon pleading guilty to the simpie offense of interfering with an officer he was finally dismissed. Father McFadden has for years stood between the oppressions of the iandown- ers and his peasant people. He bas been a protesting witness to scores of evictions. He has collected and distributed among the people as rauch as £5C00 to tide them over in years when their barren lands were unequal to the rent despite best efforts and the strictest economy. “When I realized that this was simply levying toll upon the generous for the benefit of the relentiess landlord, is it any wonder I spoke plainiv upon the sub- ject?” «aid Father hicFadden in an inter- view last evening. “However, it has not all been in vain, for I secured a reduction ot 35 per centin the rents as well as many other betterments,” The mission of Father McFadden to this country -is to make an appeal and quicken interest in behalf of the op- vressed people umong whom he minis- iers. The hard tunes he found prevailing here has militated against the success of bis mission. Still he hasdone something, and hopes to do more. The reception at Metropolitan Temple, it is expected, will do much to advance his cause. It will be an opportunity at least 10 inform the public upon conditions that are scarcely understood and difficult of belief. “The area of Gweedore,” said Fsther McFadden last evening, *‘is about 44.000 acres, cf which 24,000 are held by the land- loras in fee, so tLat about 20,000 are in aciual cccupation of the tenants. The population numbers 960 families, with an average number of five and a half. The gross valuation of the lands and improve- ments in occupation of tenants is £1283, the valuation of tie land alone being but £049 16s. The value of the portion of each family is thus less than £1. he aversge valuation of land in Gweedore is only 7 pence. It is poor land, Lou see, made up of biack bog, brown eather and gray granite, azhard unpro- ductive area but veaatiful look upon. The soil is nearly all of tue same type, a shallow surface of wet bog, with the red- dish water lying in the holiows resting on a floor of granite. Yet over the poor product of this land there bas been guing on a fierce struggle for forty years betwesn landiord and tenant. In" that time the latter have seen the rise of and been cursed by th land specu- lator—who has grown rich while the country is dotted with the heaps of stones that mark the trail of the evicting land- lord. 1In its prairie or natural state—the swate in which it was ded over by landlords to the original tenmant in title —its value per acre is only 3 80|38 cents.

At one blow the landlords appropriated 24,000 acres—more ‘th one-nalf—to their sole use, and of the balance the rent has been nearly trebled.” It was for protesting against these out- rages that Father McFadden s been thrust into jail and confined there for, in | his two terms, more than a year. Since | bis appointment as parish priest in 1876, a | recept” writer declares, *‘the people have | known no other earthiy providence than | the grayv-eved priest, with the strong, bull- | dog face, lit up like the 1ops of the Done- gal Mountains 1n fair autumn weather by a smile that is sunshine itself. It was | pathetic to me, a stranger, to go to Gweedore in the father's absence and | note the lost air of the people. They were like orphaned children. It showed |me, u Catholic, that nothing {short of a rare combination of popu- lar sympathies with tae habit of ercises in bis capacity of spiritual auto- cratcould naveraised the folk of Gweedoro from the cruel degradations of their lot. They were slaves; Father McFadden | made them men. He taught the value of combination; he formed branches of the league; he cleared the way to the Land | Courts; he protected their vote in the Revision Courts. He gave the people law where they had none. With the new spirit of freedom came, as was to be ex- pected, a great moral revolution. * * * Gweedore is practicaily a parish of tee- | totalers. Petty liligation—the curse of the Irish peasant—has disappeared, and the courthouse at Gweedore is only open when a coercion act is in force.” — BOLD WISSION FOUTPADS D. F.

Bean, a teamster living at Twen- ty-first and Bryant streets, was attacked by footpads last night, and beaten into unconsciousnoss. He was on his way home, between 11 and 12 o'clock, walking along Bryant street. As he reached Seventeenth street, two men suddenly confronted him and demanded his money. One of them had a revolver in his hand, and pointed it menacingly at Bean’s head. Bean told him he did not have a cent, and with an oath the footpad with the revolver struck him on the head with the butt end, knocking him down. He was stunned vy the blow, but felt them going throuzh his pockets. He had told them the tiuth, and when they found that his Kpru was empty they beat and kicked im until he entirely lost consciousn The footpads, after venting tneir rage upon the inoffentive man, disappeared.

Young, richt of way agent for the San Francisco and San Joaquin Railroad, was among the arrivals here yesterday. He says the work is preeressing rapidiy on the road and that spparently all the wishes of the builders of the road and of friends of the line will be realized. ““There is a clear right of way now,” said Mr. Young, ‘from Fresno to Bakers field by way of Hanford, a distance of 110 The grading south of Fresno, which commenced last Sunday, is going right along.

The other streams are small—in fact, they are largely canals. There are four or five®of them. In all, there are four camps of the graders on the Hanford line.” % Speaking of other work in obtaining the right of way Mr. Young said: “We are now working on the Reedley and Visalia part of the San Joaquin road. We have all the contracts for right of way between Fresno and Visalia, with the ex- ception of four or five. **A suit of condemnation has been com- menced against Smilie Brothers, the con- tractors, of this City, for a right of way through Del Rio Rey vineyard, owned by them, for the distance of one mile. An- other suit has been brought against W. D. Kendall, a capitalist of Sacramento, for right of way through thirty acres. A case is pending in connection with crossing a corner of twelve acres owned by R. J. Truman. It may be settled to-day.

The completion of tie road to Fresno has helped that town. One can see that it is brisker than 1t was. Pecple are feeling pretty good. There is | no question but the cheaper freight rates ob‘ained through its completion will be of great benefit to the people.” Mr. Young’s stay bere will be brief. He expects to get back to Fresno to-day. | MIDWEEK THEATER NOTES ‘‘Shore Acres’” Meets With Success at the Baldwin—Popular Melodrama at the Grand, “Shore Acres” at the Baldwin is not creating any particular furor, though it is drawing fairly well. Everytning in the play seems to appeal to ti.e audiences that see it; even the prorerty baby is ap- plauded. The peculiar charm of the play lies in the delicacy and qujet truthfulness of its character drawing and its local coloring. Probably there are character- istics that dawn on the public somewhat slowly, but as “Shore Acres” will stay here iwo weeks longer, San Francisco will have time to learn 16 know it well. “At the French Ball,” with Fanny Rice toe bright particular star, is keeping th&audiences at the Columbia Theater in a state of almost continuous merriment. Several members of the supporting com- pany have become popular, particularly John 8.

George Osbourne is touch- ingly pathetic as the leading saint in the organization. and Francis Powers and Muurice Stewart cleverly capture the hatred they deserve as champion ginners, Miss Juiiet Crosby, one of the Alcazar's debutantes, has only a very little role as Fauny, a country girl, who is just engaged to be married, but her make-up is 8o re- markably bucoiic, and she acts with such tittering coyne: hatshe makes the hit of the performance—if a hit is to be gauged oy laughter and applause. Miss Frances Jolliffe has a strong part, and for s debutante does some remarkable work in it. Gordon Foster is clever as the revenge- ful lover, and john Armstrong does good work as the ingeniou.

A Second Seizure Mado by Customs In- spectors on the Panama Steamer Acapuleo Yesterday. The customs inspsctors on the steamer Acapulco, encouraged by the finding of twenty-eight tins of smuggled opium in the false bottom of Quartermaster Vad- vars’ trunk, are exercising more than or- dinary vigilance, and their zeal was re- | warded yesterday by the finding of another smail lot o1 the contraband drug. Concealed 1n the steering gear in a place not likely to be overhauled they discovered four 5-tael tins of opiim, which were promptly confiscated and sent to the ap- praiser’s store. Of course no owner ap- peared to claim the tins and no arrests were made. | Dennis Vadvars, the quartermaster of the steamer, who was arrested on a charge of smuggling, was beld in $1000 bonds by United States Commissioner Heacock yes- terday.

Morton, who was selling the goods, was arrested. Last night it was reported that Levy would be ar- rested to-day. Some of the fish which was marked 65 cents per tin, was sold at the auction store at the rate of 15 cents per case and 33 cases were purchased at that price by John Kunst, who does busi- ness on Harrison street.” Lonis Fish of Oakland bought the remainder of the con- signment.
