They deny the reports of distress, which are, however, more than confirmed. Appeals for aid have been adopted by the poor law guardians and clergy of many parishes. IBT CABLE TO THE DISrATCH.l LONDON, October 4 Copyright. The Tory newspapers have gone into hysterics over the audacity of Americana in form " ing an Irish famine fund in face of official declarations that the reports of the failure of the potato crop are either pure fabrica tions or gross exaggerations. Individual members of the American committee have been foully abused and slandered, and the generous movement itself has been derided as a shameless political dodge. The Tory orators, from the members of the Government downward, have taken their cue from their journalistic conscience keepers, and a concerted effort is being made to keep from the English people a knowledge of the true state ol affairs. Bal four is still playing the golf-and-shoot game in Scotland, profoundly and even ostenta tiously indifferent to the threatened suffer ings of the people whom he is supposed to govern. Balfour Indifferent to Ilio Distress. He has neither vouchsafed a word of sympathy nor manifested a shadow of inter est in this momentous matter. His attitnde indeed is so monstrously callous as to ap pear to some generous minds quite incredi ble. Bnt here is one proof from hundreds which might be cited. At the last meeting of the poor-law guardians of Dromore the following pitiful motion, which explains itself, was passed unanimonsly. That it is with the deepest regret and disap pointment we have to place on record that the Chief Secretary merely acknowledged the re ceipt of the resolution forwarded without a single encouraging word. We would again most respectfully impress upon the Right Honorable gentleman the urgent necessity of taking into his serious consideration the hope less plight of so many of Her Majesty's sub jects, owing to the destruction of the potato crop, that he might see his way to immediately setting works of public utility on foot in order to ward off the impending danger. We also 'wish to cive timely warning that we have no f nnds to moet the exceptional destitution. LIery Deploie the Unniion. On "Wednesday the clergy of Ennis Dean ery assembled in conference at Ennis, under the presidency of the Lord Bishop, and pasted this resolution: , That we deplore the widespread failure of the potato ciop. which falls far short of an average yield, and in lanro areas of this county is almost worthless; and we tender onr pro found sympathy to our people in this severe Msitation of Providence, and in the haraship and sufferings which necessarily fall upon niany among them unless speedy and efficient measures be taken to avert those calamities; tliit e call upon the Government to recognize, promptly jud honestlv, the serious character of t'.ic crisis that has arisen, and to ward off poverty aud want by instituting in the dis tressed districts remunerative works of perma nent and public advantage, and thus prove that they are prepared to act up to the funda mental principle of all government, laluspop n(i tup ema lex; that we express the earnest hope that the landlords of the county will deal indulgently with their tenants, and not unduly press for their rents at this critical period. A Demnnd for Public Work.. The same day the Bishop o'Kilfenora pre sided over a conference of the clergy of his diocese, at which it was resolved: First That, seeing the ravages of the blight on the potato crop in this diocese,fully a moiety of tue tubers having long since rotted away and the residne being in large measure unfit for human food, and looking forward with un easiness to the coming winter and spring as likely to be fraught with distress and want for onr poor people; Second That wc feel satisfied the laborers and small farmers among us will have ex hausted their slender store of potatoes, their cole resource, before next Christmas, and that the boards of guardians will be unequal to the task of affording them adequate relief until the advent of the new crop; Third That the outlook being so gloomy and discouraging, we earnestly but respectfully urge the Government to come to the rescue while there is jet time, and Institute public works of a useful and reproductive character, thus affording remunerative employment to the needy and at the same time taking most effec tive means to avert the widespread destitution that appears imminent. No Jlccd Given IbeAppeil. Similar resolutions by similar competent public bodies are being passed every day in Ireland. They do not demand charity, but merely work, bv which the State would reap a permanent benefit. But neither Balfour nor his officers at Dublin Castle appear to heed them. John Morley's adventures at Tipperary, followed by his scathing attack upon the system of Government by coercion, have had a marked and wholesome effect upon the Irish Tory police and their masters. The Tory newspapers exhort the magis NOT A BOGUS AMINE trates and constables to be carelul, now that ex-Cabinet Ministers have taken to visiting Ireland. After delivering his great speech which, by the way, is to be published a. a pamphlet and scattered all over the Kingdom, Mr. Morley went to Hawarden and had a long talk with Mr. Gladstone. The latter ob tained plenty of new facts about coetcion, which he will doubtless use with considera ble effect during his oratorical campaign in Scotland, the end of this mouth. The Grand Old Mao is in splendid health, and spends his waking hours about equally in his stndy and in the open air. Irish Leaders Opposed to Charity. A Dnnlap cable says: The proposal ot. certain well-intentioned persons in America to collect lands for the prospective suffer ing from famine in Ireland, is not regarded with favor by Messrs. Parnall, Dillon, O'Brien and other Nationalists. What with the arrests, the trials now proceeding in Tipperary with paintul slowness, and the appeal to the sympathies and purses of the Irish in America in behalf of a cause they did not think it politic to present to the transatlantic public at the present time, the prospect of their being unable to proceed with their original programme, or meeting with success even, should it eventually be carried out, is poor, indeed. Tile object ot the mission of Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien is, of course, to raise money to be used in furthering the policy of the National League. To have that object, if not defeated, at least placed In peril by ap peals for money made without the knowl edge or consent of those who feel that they have the first right to say what shall be done with" money raised abroad for Ireland, is not encouraging to the men who have suf fered imprisonment and loss of wealth and health in her behalf. At present a super fluity of cooks, including Chief Balfour, appear to be engaged in spoiling the Irish broth. A PRINCE'S PENCHANT FOR AN OBNOXIOUS NOBLE CAUSES TROUBLE IN AUSTRIA. The Heir lo the British Throno on n Visit to Baron llirflch. Who Has 'n.t Boasrht Oat a Paris Club Which Black-Bolled Illm The Action to be Reversed. ITST DCNLAP'S CABLE COMPANTO London, October 4. The Prince of Wales left England to-day to visit Baron Hirsch, in spite of all the efforts that have been made to prevent his putting the Aus trian court in an awkward position by accept ing hospitalities within the Austrian domin ions ot an Austrian whom his Sovereign does not receive. Several well-known members of English society arenowon their way also to Moravia. It has been given ont that the Prince would really visit not Baron Hirsch, but Count Tassilo Fes tetics, one of the most popular ot the nobili ty in Hungary, who married the sister of the Duke of Hamilton, ths divorced wife of Prince Monaco. So great an annoyance is caused in the Austrian Empire by the Prince's intimacy with Baron Hirsch that Count Festetics denied, through his secre tary, that the Prince was to visit him. The hobby of Baron Hirsch is social recognition. aud he particularly wished to be elected a member of one of the chief clubs ot Paris. He knew well enough he 'could not get into the exclusive Union Club, and be did not care about the Jockey Ulub. so he tried the Petite Circle, as it is generally called, of which the Prince de Sagan is President, and must of the members of which belong to the nobility. In connection with the story which has been in everyone's month for the past week that Barorr'Hirsch had purchased the house occupied by the Petite Circle.it now appears that the club, in its spasm of fear, deputed the Due de Chartres and the Due de la Tremoille to go to Moravia with the white flag to treat for terms with the Baron. So it is, and the terrible mortification of the alternative may be appreciated when it is considered that of the balls cast when his name was balloted on nine were black aud the remaining two were put in by the gen tleman who proposed him. The change of front on the part of the club was a politic action in face of the Baron's brilliant coup de force in buying the house over its head, and the members are shaking in their pointed polished shoes under the impression that as soon as the lease is up they will be tnrned out of doors by the man they blackballed if the two Dnkes whom they have hurried off to Mo ravia do not succeed in their mission. Now speculation is rife as to whether, after all, the Baron will be appeased and make a tri umphal entry into the clubhouse, while the men of the committee lie on the floor for him to walk over their necks and a band especially engaged for the occason plays "See, the Conquering Hero Comes."

HE THINKS HE IS ABLE TO SOLVE THE t SOCIAL PROBLEM. A Great Meeting or Iho Working Classes--Bed Symbols Displayed Government Bills That Wonld be Favored. CoryaiGHi, lsso, bt tim kbw tobk associated press.: . Beblin, October 4. The lapse of the anti-Socialist laws has led to a renewal of the discussion regarding Emperor Will iam's attitude toward the social question. The Cologne Qaztlte repeals that the Em peror and all of his Ministers, with the ex ception of Bismarck, desired the continu ance of the special act, and were readv to accept a permanent act in the 7orm offered by the National Liberals, namely, without the power .of expulsion, but Bismarck dis agreed, and the Eeichstag was in conse quence dissolved. The Emperor himself, says the Gazette, would never voluntarily have dispensed with the act. This statement is in the main correct, except that the Kaiser was opposed to any modification of the laws if retained. At the same time he views the death of the laws without regret, confident of his ability to solve the social problem withoutthera by means of remedial legislation, deprivingthe party of discontent and of their mostserious grievances. Meetings of Socialists in celebration of the event have been held. The tone of most of the meetings was one of exultation, but all were perfectly orderly. A great meeting of Socialists was held at the Bock hranerei. The men present appeared to be long to the intelligent working classes. They were accompanied by their wives and families. All were well clothed and had the appearance of being amply fed, and all carried some kind of a red symbol. Had it not been for these the meet ing might have been taken for an ordinary election meeting ot a working constituency. After a speech by Herr Bebel several women addressed the meeting. A sheet entitled "Farewell to the Socialist Liw," explaining how Christianity might have been destroyed in its inception if the Jewish and Roman authorities had only imitated the Russian police and dissolved every meeting of its founders, met with a large sale. Herr Bebel declared in an interview that his party would meet the Government's remedial bills on their merits. Where the clauses appeared to be beneficial to the workmen the Socialists would support them, otherwise they would oppose them. aPUNGJS HEALTH IS BROBEK, And He Has a Ro on Band With n Firm of American Publishers.

Considerable excitement was'caused yes terday in the Custom House in New York by importers and brokers, who wildly im portuned Collector Erhardt to allow them to get goods in under the old law as late as midnight. The request was granted. New York, October 4. The most intense excitement prevailed in and about the Cus tom House all day. Whole troops of im porters and brokers kept coming and going. As 3 o'clock approached the numbers in creased until finally the rotunda of the Cus tom House was filled with a solid mass of humanity, which perspired, jostled, pushed and yelled. All carried large sums of money. They were on hand to enter goods that were ex pected t arrive late this afternoon. They wished to got their entries in under the old law, and stood ready to make their entries the moment thevessel arrived at File Island. By the decision of yesterday the Custom House was to have closed on the stroke of 3 o'clock this afternoon. All goods arriving after that hour were to come in un der the new law and duty was to be charged accordingly. oeeat excitement. The mass of importers' and brokers in the Custom House was so ereat at 3 o'clock that Collector Erhardt deemed it inadvisable to close at that hour. He announced that the time would be extended until 4 o'clock. Each moment after 3 o'clock the excitement became greater. Those in the rotunda ap peared to be going crazy. They shouted, yelled and made futile efforts to move about. The scene was not unlike that of the Stock Exchange. The clerks in the various divisions were swamped with business. Not for years has such a scene been enacted in the Custom House. Every few minutes whole delega tions of importers and brokers invaded the Collector's office, and importuned himto keep the Custom House open until mid night. The Collector was in a quandary. His office was jammed full of importers, who waved rolls of bills in their hands, and shouted to him not to close the Custom House. HELD OBEX TILL MIDNIGHT. The pressure on the Collector became so great that finally he sent a telegram to Washington. It was directed to Secretary Windoni and reqnested advice as to what the Collector should do under the circum stances. The importers expected the vessels to ar rive at S o'clock. In a little time there came an answer Irom Washington. It was Irom the Secretary of the Treasury, and in formed the Collector that he could use his own discretion in the matter. Upon receipt of Secretary Windoni's tele gram, Collector Erhardt and his seven dep uties held a consultation. They decided to keep the Custom House open until 12 o'clock to-night. The importers cheered. The steamships.Becnale, City of Chicwfv T-indam nnd City of Columbia.iifie' latter from Havana with a cargo ot tobacco, are expected to arrive this evening. " LEFT TO THE C0LLECT0ES. The Cnstom House omctnls Mast Decide Abont Late Eutrlcs. Washington, October 4. The Treasury Department was closed to-day out of respect to the memory of ex-Secretary Thomas, of Maryland. Secretary Windom, Assistant Secretaries Spaulding and Nettleton and General Appraiser Tichenor spent the day there, however, in conference over questions that have arisen in regard to the execution ot the new tariff law, which takes effect Monday morning. Several importers, de sirous of receiving the full benefit of the existing tariff rates, applied to the Treasury Department for permission to enter their goods at the Cdstom Houses up to midnight of Sunday. Assistant Secretary Spaulding has informed them that this is a matter en tirely within the discretion of the Collectors of Customs at the various ports, and that the department is not disposed to interfere in the matter. General Spaulding said to-day he did not anticipate any trouble with regard to the execution of the law on the Pacific coast, by reason of the failure of the customs officers to receive official copies of the law at the date it goes in operation, as entries made on and alter Monday under the present law can be readily liquidated under the new rates with very little extra labor.

Governor Camp bell will issue a call between nowNand Tuesday, convening the Legislature in extrtj session, to consider the charges 'of alleged corruption on the part of President Louis Beemelin ofthe Board of Public Imj provements, of Cincinnati, and rumors rela-, tive to dishonesty on the part of other mem bers of the board and departments of the city government. The Governor was at his office to-night, and in response to inquiries said: I had hoped that some other coarso wonld snfrfcest itself so that I wonld not be compelled to call an extra session, bnt that now seems my only course. I feel in dnty bonnd to do sorne thins for the relief of the people of Cincinnati regardless of what tho results may be as to my self and my fnture. It would be improper for me to give the substance of my call at this time. but it will state definitely tho necessity for the Legislature convening. The call will be for about October 14,so as to give the Legislature time to discose of the matter and submit the question to a vote of the people of Cincinnati. If the people wish to Indorse the course of certain members of the Board of Improvements I shall be perfectly satisfied, but in their interest It is my duty to el ve them an opportunity to express themselves. I see a paper this morning puts the cost at a fab ulous sum. something like 80.000 or 8100,000. 1 have had an examination made, and the ses sion, which should not last more than two or three days, will cost only $1,500. If the mem bers should vnte themselves mileage, which it is not probable they will do it would not amount to more than $5,000. But even if the session cost SIOO.UOO I would pursue the same conrse if I thought it right. In the course of a long conversation with Governor Campbell it was learned, that he expects the Legislature to take steps for the abolishment of the present board, probably the Council and Controller, and possibly the City Board of Equalization, and then let the people vote on their re-election if the incumbents . see proper to be candidates, otherwise elect those in whom they hid con fidence. The Governor has the support of the Democratic country press, and looks for support from that direction more especially. It is expected that the Storrs township mat ter affecting the Congressional districts will also be included in the call and be rectified. TO HARNESS NIAGARA.

J MADE BY THE CANADIAN SETTLERS IN fl f J J I jj J I UlnllUill I THE KORTHWEST. A Their Priests nre to Visit Quebec and Select an Assortment of Marriageable Young Women Tbe First Party Will Leave In a Tew Weeks. tSFECIAL TE-SQSAJ- TO THE DISPATCH.! Quebec, October 4. A cry for wives is the pathetic appeal that comes to the prov ince of Quebec from tbe French-Canadian settlers in the Canadian Northwest terri tories. A prominent Boman Catholic clergyman in Caljrarry is coutemplating giving' effect to a scheme suggested by the disconsolate bachelors of bis parish for supplying them witV wives. Women, ex ceDt squaws, are scarce in the Canadian territories, and there is an absolute absence of young marriageable females oi the same race and religion as the struggling settlers who have gone out there from the province ot Quebec. Their priests are exceedingly anxious to see them married to wives ot their own na tionality and faith, so as to encourage the growth in the Northwest of a French-speaking and Boman Catholic population. Judging from the wonderful natural increase of the French-Canadian nation in the Province of Quebec, the supplying of wives and mothers to the Northwest settlers is all that is necessary for the early establishment of an equally populous settlement on the Western prair ies. The Northwest settlers are only too anxious to fall in with the desires of their priests in the matters of marriage and pa ternity." The dearth of marriageable females in the Northwest Territories cannot be obviated by any efforts of their oy" They cannot afford the time, even if tha' . "ire the means, to pay a long enouB" . "'offo-Provmce oi tyueDec to select " -.-, . ,:-r- vi s?y ves. But they are prepiy so, to a certain extent toojZ? Providing a sufficiently fair assortiu uwrjr such merchandise is brought to the., doors to afford them some little selection, they arc prepared to depute their priests to do the rest. The scheme has been advertised in the French Canadian news papers, and the first party ot candidates for matrimony in the Northwest will probably leave for Calgarry within a few weeks.

GEEAT ENTHUSIiSlI ON TAG STEEET3 One of the largest political mass meetings ever held in Pittsburg was the Democratic gathering at Old City Hall last night. Tha capacity of the hall and streets were taxed. Pattison, Thomas M. Marshall, Black and Hensel discussed State issues before an en thusiastic audience. The Democratic campaign in this county was formally opened last eveninz in Old City Hall, by what is claimed to be the dprgest political mass meeting ever held in &. iy. There was no deception about this g, lb WU3 WJUO CUUUiJU 1U1 -ICIJUUUJ to tjvi in, big enough for everybody to see, and enthusiastic enough for everybody to hear. The star ofthe evening was, of course, ex Governor Pattison, who seeks a re-election, and the streets over which he was to pass were thronged with spectators who waited with what patience they had from 6 o'clock until nearly 9 F. -I. When he came he re ceived a warm reception, the crowd cheering him often and loudly, compelling the can didate to ride nearly the entire route with bared head. Candidates Black and Barclay were also warmly received. The Democratic State ticket reached the c-Gorernor R. E. PatlUon. , h , . " Union Depot Jit C-SX) -p. 31., and was takes direct to the Monongahela House, from' where, escorted by 'Squire O'Donnell, Mis' Pattison was taken to the Excelsior Club House on Penn avenue. Here tbe --.-Governor held a levee, shaking-hands with tha people who thronged around him, and mak ing a short speech. THE MAECH TO THE HALL. The ex-Governor returned to the Monon gahela House, where the parade was formed to escort him to tbe mass meeting in Old City Hall. First came a detail of police under Lieutenant McCreery, followed by the Great Western Band, which preceded tbe Bandall Club, commanded by T. J. O'Leary, Jr., whose stalwart form and mar tial bearing won him much applause, for almost, everybody appeared to be on speak ing terms with "Tim." Then came the feature ot the parade the colored Pattison club, with their own band, the American Cornet There were 36 men in line, and they responded, to tbe many cheers and occasional taunts which greeted them by asserting in tones which brooked of no denial: "We're for Pattison; we don't want Delamater."The candidates, speakers and local reception committee came next in carriages, that in which the ex-Governor was seated being drawn by four white horses. He was cheered from one end of the route to the other, even the ladies con tributing little shrill yells which helped to swell and accent the volume. "Glorious Old Tom" was a close second in the popular favor, and his white locks were exposed to elements most of the time. The McClellan Club, of Lawrenceville, was ont in decorated carriages, the County Democracy, with the Second Brigade Band, followed, and the column was closed by the Catholie Casino Club. Many buildings were decorated along the route and red fire and roman candles-were kindled with lavishness. A GEEAT MEETING AT OLD CITY HALL, Old City Hall was filled brimfnll of en thusiasm. At 8 o'clock, the time announced for the meeting, every seat was occupied, and standing room was at a premium. Ths gallery was well filled with ladies. Ex-Governor Pattison entered just at 9 o'clock. In an instant every ian in the hall was on his feet and cheering lustily. Hats were waved vigorously, and white handker chiefs fluttered from the gallery rail. This ovation lasted for fully ten minutes, in spite of the efforts ot the County Chairman, H. T. Watson, to seeure order. Tbe cheering continued while the list of vice presidents was being read, and broko out vociferously when Pattison was pre sented with a beautiful bouquet. It cannot be described as a series of cheers. It was really one long, loud exuberant yell for the people's candidate. A number of Repub licans noted in the throng cheered as loudly as any. When D. T. Watson, Esq., was intro duced as chairman of the meeting, tha cheering broke out anew, and it was some minutes before he could be heard. Mr. Watson said: The Democratic partypresents as Its candi date aman who needs no introduction to any one present He is known to you all as tbs chief executive of this State a few years ago, whose administration was so clean and honest tbat even tbe press of the opposition party in dorsed bim. 1 have the pleasure of presenting to you ex-Governor Bobert E.
