' tiiout National Prohibition partj,
ibe inn had gone down on that party in
cord and the agonies of internal dlssen-
jn, with a not remote prospect that the
invention might end in a bolt on the part
,'a large and influential element of the
arty.
All the latter part of the afternoon it
ooked as though the party might split in
.wain. The platform was the cleaver which
had descended on the party, and the con
servative element found It hard to remain
in a convention that indorsed the most radi
cal economic ideas of free trade, large is
sues of currency and government control of
corporations, and when a declaration that
Prohibition was the sole test of party fealty
was defeated, they felt that nothing re
mained for them but a reluctant and sorrow
ful departure from the party.
Some of .the leaders recognized the dan
ger ahead, and after a noisy, turbulent
storm, in which all rules were swept over
board, they succeeded in guiding the prohi
bition ship to a haven ot peace by the re
nsideration of the action on the prohibi
a fealty resolution and its adoption as a
irt of the platform.
Dramatic Scene During tbs Storm.
Dramatic scenes attended the storm, and
ts climax was an inquisition of "William T.
Vardwell, the Treasurer, of the Standard
il Company, and one of the chief men in
Prohibition party, by Mrs. Helen IL
ougar, a member of the party's National
cecntive Committee.
The platform which caused this tronble is
road, radical document. The absence of
'ree and unlimited coinage plank is note-
srthy, however, for the convention re-
ised to accept this plank of the majoritv
Jf the Besolutions Committee, and struck
it from the platform without replacing it
with any other declaration on the siUer
question.
The following was offered by the minority
as the additional plank to the platform:
Recognizing and declaring tbat probibi
tlon oi the liquor traffic bus become the
aominantissne In national politics, we ln
rlte to mil party fellowship all tbose who,
m this one dominant Issue, are witb us
freed. In the full belief that this party can
d will remove seottonal differences, pro
of national unity and insure the best
relfare of our entire land.
Cbeers for All the Flanks.
Secretary "Wheeler, of the Platfoom Com-
Ittee. read the majority report. The first
.ering came at the end of the prohibition
nfc. Woman suffrage also elicited cheers.
ire was a loud outburst of applause on
reading of the free coinage declaration,
nusiastio manifestations continued
nghout the reading, every plank seem
to strike a responsive chord in the con
ntlon, particularly the anti-option and
nbliw school planks.
Tne minority report ,wa signed by 12
icmbers, headed by James Black, of Penn--Ivania.
The two reports were read, and
e convention was in a good deal of confu
on over the method of proceeding with its
insideration, but finally, on motion of ex
tivemor St. John, the majority report was
tken up section by section.
There was no serious trouble until the fi
ancial and silver planks were reached. An
Tort made to substitute the minority plank
insed a champion parliamentary tangle,
om plicated by an amendment offered by
lartz, of Illinois, having in view as a snb
tltnte for both majority and minority
planks, a plank for the free coinage of
the American product under certain condi
tions. Points of Order In Plenty.
Points of order were as thick as flies
around a molasses barrel. Prof Dickie, of
Michigan, endeavored to cnt off debate to
get to voting at once, but St. John ener
getically asserted that he had been first
recognised; that Prof, Dickie's motion was
out of order, and that if debate were cut off
a million of voters would make answer at
the polls. 2f ow and iere was the time to
meet the question squarely.
Chairman Sitter ruling against St
John's right to the floor, there was an ex
citing time, St. John evidently having the
convention with him, notwithstanding the
protest of Morgan, of Minnesota, against
the convention teing swayed by regard .for
any man. Panning, of Michigan, appealed
from the decision of the chair, and wen by
a rising vote of 482 to 453.
The way was thus opened for debate, and
there was a warm discussion of the merits
of the silver question, St. John and Hlpjj,
of Colorado, championing free coinage, and
Carskadon, of West Virginia, opposing it.
St, John objected to the resolutions of
Hartz and of the minority as indefinite, and
so bound up with conditions as to be mean
ingless. "JTor God's sake," he exclaimed
"don't let's do anything that will need a
committee of interpretation to explain it.
Free coinage of American silver would not
furnish the needed relief, because the pro
duction was insufficient. We have a 70 cent
silver dollar now, because in 1873 Congress
adopted the most damnable robbery that
was ever perpetrated. Under Bepubliean
-tpd Democratic rule, that system has been
ccfotinned to the present time, and if we
haVe a 70 cent dollar it is a Democratic and
a Eepublican 70 cent dollar. The op
position to this free silver demand of the
laboring and fanning interests found its
mainspring in Wall street"
A Itabel of Unnecessary Noise.
There was a babel of unnecessary noisa be
fore a vote conld be had. but finally Hartz's
amendment was beaten bya large vote, and
then the minority report was defeated on a
rising vote of 337 noes to 316 ayes. A roll
call by States was ruled out of order on the
ground that the announcement of the vote
aid been previously made.
The fight then came up on the plank de
claring in favor of free and unlimited coin
age of both metals. A vote was promptly
taken by States, and free coinage got a bad
knock out, the plank being rejected by a
vote of 335 to 596L
The tariff fight promptly followed, and it
took a few minutes only to defeat the mi
nority plank by a large vote and to adopt
the majority plank, which is as follows:
Tariff should be levied only as a defense
against foreign governments which levy
tariff upon or bar out our products from
tbeir markets, revenue being incidental.
The residue of means necessary to an eeo-
biw "immiraraon ot tne uovernment
boold be raised by levying a burden on
-truat the people possess instead of upon
t we consume.
f. George W. Woodby, a coal-black
t delegate from Nebraska, gained an
jrtunity to offer as an addition to "the
o rule" plank the following:
.elievfog In the parity or the ballot and
freedom of election, we denounce the
j old parties for their purchasing of
es, fraud and intimidation.
Ir. Woodby had to be content with his
ortunity, for his amendment failed of
ptlon.
here was serious danger of a big split,
only in the convention but in the Pro-
l
hlbitlon partv as a whole, and of a bolt on
the part of the members of the Kew York,
Pennsylvania and other delegates, includ
ing William T. Wardwell, the Secretary of
the National Committee and Treasurer of
the Standard Oil Company, and other influ
ential members. The financial and other
economio planks was extremely distasteful
to them, and the last minority resolution,
making prohibition the only test of tarty
fealty, was theprlnoipal tie that still bound
them to the party as represented at this
convention, much as they disliked to get
out of the present party. Its defeat, and
that with scant courtesv, bore hard upon
them. Members of the delegation acknowl
edged that some of their associates were
tbinkinirofleavincrthe convention.
To most of the delegates the trouble was
unknown, but Chairman Dickie, of the Na
tional Committee; Colonel Bitter, A. A.
Stevens and other leaders, knew of the
storm within their ranks and were striving
for a method by which to prevent on out
break. The silver matter became lo.t sight
of, and soon the delegates got an inkling of
the division in their ranks,
Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, saw a light
out of the storm, and moved to take the
"Prohibition fealtv" resolution from the
table and add it to the platform. In an im
passioned speech he declared the Prohibi
tionists were not strong enough to ride
rough-shod over everybody. He spoke not
for himself, but for fellow delegates in New
York and Pennsylvania, who oould not
conscientiously stand by the platform with
out this plank. In behalf ot the cause and
of victory he urged the adoption of the reso
lution. The Chairman Tarns the Tide.
Chairman Dickie took the floor, and using
all his strong personal following endeavored
to bring the convention over to support of
the minority planK. lie Old not Deueve
anybody was bound by every plank of the
platform. He cid not want the trouble
that would come from dividing the pro
hibition forces. ''In God's name, in the
name of fairjplay and in the name of the
prohibition vote, let's pass the resolution,"
he exclaimed. Prof. Dickie's speech pro
duced a great eflect on the convention and
the tide was evidently turning.
It was supposed that the opposition of
Mrs. Gougar, St John and others had been
becanse of a fear that it pointed toward
'fusion, but it now was evident other forces,
including opposition to a one-idea party,
inspired them.
Mrs. Gougar had all through the evening
been watching this resolution with eyes
flashing fire everv time it snowed forth,
and now she arose in her chair and shouted
for a hearing. Woman suffrage, it was
developed, was the key to her antagonism
to the resolution. It came, she said, from
the class of Prohibitionists who had been
fighting woman-snffrage, and she aimed a
blow by name at William TWardwell, the
Treasurer ot the Standard Oil Company.
Standard Oil on the Defensive.
It brought out a storm of disapproval, and
a point ot order against personal allusions,
was sustained. Mrs. Gougar demanded an
opportunity to ask Mr. Wardwell a ques
tion, and that gentleman arose to meet the
interrogation, but chaos was reigning, so it
was by only the delegates becoming worn
out and ceasine yelling to each other to
keep quiet that the question could finally
be put
Mrs. Gougar, facing Mr. Wardwell, lev
eled her eye right at him and said: "There
m.iy be no semblance of personality in the
matter. I say there is no man in our ranks
for whom I have greater respect than Mr.
Wardwell, but I ask did he make the-state-ment
this afternoon that, as Treasurer of
the Standard Oil Company, unless we
adopted this dominant issue, single-idea
plank, tbat he would walk out of this con
vention and desert the Prohibition party?"
When the uproar occasioned by this state
ment had subsided to some degree Mr.
Wardwell replied that he had the right to
assume that Mrs. Gouear asked the Ques
tion in good faith, for he did not believe
she would otherwise ask it, but before the
convention, before God and the world he
wanted to deny the statement He had
only one desire in his heart, and that was
the cause of prohibition.
This declaration was greeted with tre
mendous enthusiasm and uproarious ap
plause. Mr. TVardwell in Dead Earnest.
Continnlng, Wardwell said he had left
the old parties because he could not con
scientiously stay. He did not believe in
the Prohibition'tariS plank. Twenty years
ago he was a free-trader, but now he Was a
protectionist in a mild manner. He did
not believe in the silver plank, but he was
willing to sacrifice all his feelines if the
convention said to him vote for Prohibition
and that alone.
Mrs. Gougar said the resolution came
from opponents ot woman suffrage. 'Miss
Willard knew that two years ago he had
said to her he had become a convert on that
question. He wanted the convention to sav. I

Immense applause and an ovation creeted
Mr. Wardwell's announcement, the tide

and it was seen that the spirit of harmony
was in the ascendant
The disturbance ended by Bain, of Ken
tucky moving' the previous qnestion and the
adoption of the resolution. By a rising
vote it was added to the platform, and as
darkness fell over the hall the star of peace
once again shone on the Prohibition party.
The platform as a whole was then 'adopted.
Prayer Nearly Overlooked.
Anxiety to get to balloting caused the
convention to forget the usual prayer at the
opening ot the night session, but pious dele
gates objected strennously to the omission,
and .when the throne of grace had been
properly invoked the nominating speeches
promptly began.
Ex-Governor John P. St John, of Kan
sas, at the request of the California delega
tion, was given the floor first to place Be
fore the convention the name of General
John Bidwell, of California. Mr. Bidwell's
name was loudly cheered.
The seconding speeches of Bidwell began
to grow monotonous, nearly every State
having a speaker for him. Wolfenbareer,
of Nebraska, livened things up. He said
Nebraska wanted a President who will not
travel from ocean to ocean with a drunk
ard s factory in his train; who will not
serve five kinds of wines at public banquets,
nor allow his name to be used In organs of
his partv in connection with advertisements
of brand's of whisky; who will not accept
from a pampered millionaire a 43-gallon bar
rel of Scotch whisky.
Mr. Wardwell, of New York, presented
the name of W. Jennings Demorest Mr.
Logan, of Ohio, named Gideon T. Stewart,
of the Buckeye State.
General Bidwell Nominated.
Though only three candidates were
named for first place the innumerable
nominating and seconding speeches lasted
until nearly midnight, to the weariness of
delegates and spectators. On the first
ballot, at 2 minutes to midnight, General
John Bidwell, ot California, was nominated
to head the National Prohibition ticket
The totals, before any changes or cor
rections were made, stood 582 for Bidwell,
184 for Stewart, 142 for J)emorest and 3
lor iiascotn.
General John Bidwell is an old California
pioneer, alornier Congressman, and now a
wealthy land owner of California. He re
ceived P90 votes out of a total of 974, 487
votes being .necessary to a choice. The
nomination was greeted with a deafening
din oi cheers, whistles and cat-calls.
The noise tbat greeted the announcement
of Bidwell's victory lasted fully five min
utes. On motion of the State of Georgia,
which was the only State to vote solidly
against Bidwell, seconded by Demorest's
friends, Bidwell's nomination was made
unanimous, and another outburst followed,
ending with three cheers each for Bidwell
and for Demorest

the National Committee, was presented with

Grease Helped Whitney to
BEC0BE CLEVELAND'S NOMINATION

for the Ttcxet, but
PBiTS FOE DEFEAT IN OTHER STATES
rSriCUL TXX.XOBAU TO THE DISPATCH. ,
NkwYobk, June 30. The Commercial
Advertiur this evening has Jthe following:
For abont a week the Democrats generally
have been gushing about the extraordinary
ability and capacity displayed by William
O. Whitney in handling the Cleveland,
forces at Chicago. Nothing is too good' for
him, and many of the misinformed have
gone around declaring that Whitney was to
manage everything be the tiger's keeper,
guardian of grace, and custodian of the
Cleveland conscience. Tammany's admira
tion for him is said to be unbounded, and
that Whitney can have everything the wig
wam contains.
Most of this stuff is fiction. Leaders of
Tammany Hall who are just beginning to
find their tongue are telling stories that
may cause Mr. Whitney's halo to be sent
to the repair shop. Briefly, the burden of
these tales is that Whitney only asinmed to
be Cleveland's friend when he found that
the Presidency. was beyond his own reach;
that there is a letter in existence in which
he declared that it was impossible to elect
Cleveland, and that his agents bought the
votes of the Territories to make up the
necessary two-thirds for Cleveland.
One of Tammany's leaders Leaks.
A leader of Tammany Hall, who is one of
the wise men also, and thoroughly ac
quainted with every move made in the great
Hill-and-Tammany combination, talked to
a reporter this morning. "William C
Whitney deceived us," he said, "and he is
entitled to no honor for Cleveland's nomi
nation, except that which is based on de
ception and unfair dealing.
''Yon remember that Mr. Whitney made a
trip to Europe a short time ago and re
turned in May. There was a general im
pression that he was sgainst Cleveland, and
he had only been back a short time when
hit talk on the situation confirmed this im
pression. HiB supposed opposition pleased
Tammany, and It was a common expression
when hi good faith was doubted to hear
men say: 'Ob, Whitney is all right He
talks uglier than anyone else.' This kept
up, but some of us never trusted him. We
had the feeling that he wanted to be the
candidate himself and would so declare
himself. He found, however, that Tam
many would make the fight for Hill wlu
or lose and that there was no chance of
New York going for another candidate.
Whitney is clever. He was out of the race,
yet determined to get something. If he
took sides against Cleveland and Cleveland
lost Whitney would only receive partial
credit; accordingly, his scheme was to as
sume control ot the Cleveland campaign
and if he won all the honor would be his.
Two Letters From Whitney.
"He only came to this conclusion ten
days before the convention about the time
he wrote that letter to an editor in Massa
chusetts announcing his loyalty to Cleve
land and deprecating the mention of his
own name. Only two weeks before he had
written another letter. This was sent to a
gentleman in the South, and in it William
C. Whitney declared tbat he could cot con
ceive any possible conditions under which-
Cleveland could be elected We hoped to
be able to use this letter at Chicago, Dnt the
man to whom it was written declined to
have it made public, as it was confidential.
It is still in existence, .however, and will
come to light Whitney had found that
there was &o disposition to bolt on the part
of Tammany, and, arrived in Cnicaso, he
used this argument with effect In some
inscrutable way he came to an agreement
with Gorman, in whom we had firmly re
lied, and made his bargain that was
broken with Senator Voorhees.
"Everyone that was supposed to be in the
opposition was approached. Whitney's
resources were inexhaustible, but up to the
last hours we had him beaten. Then the
machinery we had feared all the time was
pushed for higher speed, and the delegates
from the Territories 'seen' and convinced.
Some innocent men may believe that Cleve
land's victory was due to Whitney's general-

have nothing against Mr. Whitney
how, nowever. His game was politics, and
he won, I don't think he will care to
assnme the responsibility of the manage
ment of the campaign. He will also call
ofl the Grace-Fairchild mugwump crowd."
This same gentleman also discussed
Senator Hill's attitude. According to him
the Senator will make no statement ef his
position, for the very good reason that he
has no occasion to assure anyone of his
loyalty. To make a public utterance that
he would support the ticket would be to
reflect on his own Democracy. Senator
Hill will work in the campaign for Cleve
land, although as he says Grover Cleveland
has never aided him nor even mentioned
his name. Secretary Charles S. Fairchild,
also, while- a member of Cleveland's Cabi
net, came on to New York and voted
against Hill for Governor.
Edward Murphy will retain the Chair
manship of the State Committee, and in
every way the Hill people will seek to
retain their grip on the machine. They
intend showing that New York can be
carried for Cleveland because the Demo
crats here are real ones. There is deeper
and more satisfactory revenge than beating
him here. New York, carried, there is no
anxiety about what may happen to Cleve
land in other States. The Hill people
pray that he maybe beaten by the loss of
these outside States, and they are going to
help in that. direction.

Franolsco Favorite Australian God
dard'a Cyclone Ttnhaand Great Fight
ing Powers Win the Day Against
Greater Weight.
Sak Fbaihjisoo, June 30. SpeclaL
Joe Goddard's mighty rushes and cyclone
tactics won the battle to-night against the
San Francisco favorite, Joe MoAullfie. It
took IS savagely fought rounds for the
Australian to knock out his man, though
the fight was his from start to finish, his
tactics winning against the Californian's su
perior weight The fight took place in the Ee
publican wigwam, which was crowded to the
very doors. Many prominent sporting men
from other cities were present Both men
looked in the pink of condition as they
stepped into tne ring. McAuliffe is much
the bigger of the two, weighing in at 215
pounds to Goddard's 190, but seemed more
placid and phlegmatic than ever, while the
Australian looked the demon rusher that
he Is.
There were over $75,000 up in the four
San Francisco pool rooms, including ?5,000
which Adolph Spreckels, the sngar king's
son, staked on the Australian. Goddard
began his rushes from the beginning of the
first round, but the Californian responded
gamely, bringing him to his kneej at the
very start But with each succeeding
round McAullffe's blows became less telling,
and Goddard's confident attacks left him
weaker.
At the end of the third round, the Cali
fornian was groggy, and after this he pur
sued the weaker man's policy of clinching
to save strength and avoid the terrible pun
ishment of the Australian's hurricane of
body blows. Goddard thumped his man on
the neck so furiously in the sixth round
that he fell exhausted by his own efforts at
the close of it
MoAulifTe's blows, though powerfully de
livered, were all too high, while Goddard con
tinued to pound Mao's ribs and neck. Mao
got in only one good blow. By the eleventh
Goddard had his man where he wanted
him and it became a mere question ot en
durance for Mac, who had to be torn away
from his antagonist, as he clinched at every
opportunity. McAuliffe fairly hung on the
Australian s neck.
In the fifteenth round Goddard rushed in
determined to finish the fight. He knocked
McAulifle'down, but he was up in five sec
onds. He hung limp on Goddard's neck.
Mao rallied, but was again and again
thrown as he came up, to be again
knocked down. He could not re
cover and was counted out Goddard
was comparatively fresh, but very tired,
having done all the fighting through the
most savage 15 rounds ever seen in this
city. Goddard showed far more science
than he had been credited with, and he de
monstrated that he was dead game. He Is
by all odds the most savage fighter ever
seen here, add his victory over his big op
ponent was greeted with loud cheers.

Farnellites atid Anti-Parnellites In
dulge in Free Fights.
FATHER BEHAN USES LANGUAGE
That Eousea the Ire of the Followers of
the Dead Patriot.
DOCTOR TANNER INCITES A SMALL RIOT
Dublin, June 30. Archbishop "Walsh
has written a circular letter to the Catholic
clergy stating that language directly cal
culated to incite turbulence has been ad
dressed to the people and declaring that it
is the plain duty of the clergy to use their
best efforts to preserve the tranquility of
the conntry. .
Simultaneously iwlth I the appearance of
this circular letter, there appears a speech
by Father Behan, delivered at a meeting of
the anti-Parnellites. Father Behan says
that Pornell was a corse to the country.
God thrust him down to the grave, where
his bones "are now rotting and his flesh
putrid. The Parnellltes did homage to
lasoivlousness. Every man living a loose
life, every drundard, every man who liked
to beat his wife was a Parnellite. Every
virtuous man belonged to the National
Federation.
When Father Behan was delivering this
speech his Parnellite hearers hooted and
jeered him. This excited the priest, who in
angry tones, cried: "When we are your
masters we will crush vou. "
This statement added fuel to the flame of
the Parnellite rage and an indesoribable
uproar followed. Father Behan at this
point asked the anti-Parnellites to throw
the Farnellites out of the meeting room.
None of the anti-Parnellites ventured to
carry out this request, whereupon Father
Behan said he would call the police and
have the Parnellites bludgeoned. A voice
in the crowd here exclaimed, '"The day for
that Is over." This caused hearty cheering.
When the meeting dispersed the presence
of the police was the only thing that pre
vented fighting.
The'Dnblin Independent (Parnellite) says
that if any layman used such language as
did Father Behan he would be horse
whipped. The people, it adds, have en
dured these priestly indecencies too long,
and will put a speedy end to them if Arch
bishop Walsh does not
DECLARE FOR FREE TRADE.
Besolutions Adopted by the British Um
pire' Chamber ot Commerce.
London, June 30. The second ballot on
the amendment proposed by Sir Charles
Tnpper, Canadian High Commissioner to
England,to the resolution submitted by Mr.
Medley to the Congress of the Chamber of
the Empire, resulted to-day in the final de
feat of the amendment At the first day's
session of the Congress Mr. Medley offered
a resolution declaring that a fiscal union
between Great Britain and her colonies by
preferential duties, being based upon pro
tection, would be politically dangerous and
that the arrangement that would best con
duce to an intimate commercial union
wonld be for the self-governing colonies
to adopt, as closely as circumstances will
permit, the non-protective polcy ot Great
Britain.
Sir Charles Tupper's proposed amend
ment to this resolution declared that a small
differential duty should be adopted by
Great Britain and her colonies against for
eign imports. When the amendment came
up yesterday it was defeated by a vote of
79 to .44. Sir Charles challenged the vote
and accordingly it was decidecLto have an
other ballot on the amendment The sec
ond ballot was taken this morning and the
amendment was again defeated, the vote
standing 33 in favor to 65 against The
Congress declared for free trade by adopt
ing Meredith's resolution by a vote of 47 to
34. The vote on Sir Charles Tupper's
amendment was taken by chambers, each
dhamber represented having one vote. The
following' resolutions fiffered by various
delegates were adopted:
Tbat in the opinion of this Congress it is
expedient that practical arrangements
should, if possible, be devised to seonre
closer commercial union between the mother
country and her oo.onles and dependencies.
That a commercial union on a basis of free
trade as within the British Empire would
tend to promote its permanence and pros
perity. That the .frequent recurrence of
labor disputes has caused great damage to
the commeicial and manufacturing inter
ests or the Empire. Tbat it is extremely
desirable in the best interests both of em
ployers and employed that the readlnat-
inent ot the rates and conditions of labor,
which from time to time are inevitable,
should be brought about without the waste
ful and calamitous results proceeding fiom
strikes and lockouts. And this Congress
strongly recommends the formation of prop
erly constituted boards of labor conciliation
and albltrationin all Important centers of
industry and commerce tbroushont the Em.

GLADSTONE ON HOME RULE.
He Thinks the Local Government Bill
Was an Insult to Irishmen.
London. June 30. Mr. Gladstone ad
dressed an enormous and enthusiastic, aud
ience at Edinburg to-day. "If the Land
Leaguers" he said, "were as Lord
Salisbury has asserted, foes of
law and- order, why did Lord
Salisbury accept their support
in 1885 and persuade Mr. Parnell that the
Conservatives' policy could be reconciled
with the Parnellite policy. The first dnty
of the Liberal Parliament would he the
introduction of the horns rule bill."
In regard to the provisions of
the bill ' he referred to his declara
tions of 1886 none of which he
had retracted. The object of the bill was
to give Ireland full and effective control of
her own local affairs under certain condi
tions, including the supremacy of the Irish
Parliament, a lair adjustment of pecuniary
burdens, special care of minorities and
equal treatment of England and Scotland.
In obedience to the voice of the country,
another condition imposed would be the re
tention of Irish members at Westminster;
but-the details of the retention, whether
or not members should be allowed to vote
on all questions and whether there should
be one or two sets of Irish members, were
matters that must be approached in a prac
tical spirit after the establishment of the
Liberal government
"It is a pity," Mr. Gladstone said, "that
the educated, titled and wealthy classes have
approached this question in such an im
placable spirit while the poor Irish show
the utmost willingness to make every con
cession, but in all great controversies in the
last 50 years, the leisure classes have always
been wrong." The Irish local Government
bill, he added, was a wanton insnlt to Irish
men. OB. TAHHEE BOUOHLT HANDLED.
Farnellites Capture Ills Meeting Place and
a Free Shindy follows. '
Dublin, June 30. Dr. Tanner, protected
by 100 policemen, attempted to-day to ad
dress a political meeting at Tuam, 19 miles
northeast of Galway. The Parnellltes
seized npon the speaker's platform before
the Tannerites arrived, and when the latter
reached the place of meeting they found
the enemy in full possession. Dr. Tanner
made determined efforts to get npon the
platform, bnt each 'time he tried he was
knocked down. Finally the platform was
Soiled down and Dr. Tanner was caueht
eneath it This was the signal for a tltee
fight and the fun waxed fast and furious
until the police took a hand. The officers
made no political distinction, but hit with
their batons every one.within reach.
The shopkeepers, fearing trouble, bad
closed their shops, and this waa doubtless a
wise precaution, for the fighting was con
tinued on the street The situation became l
Iso dangerous that the polios were com
. pelled to charge the mob with drawn
sworas. xnis naa tne aesirea euect. Tne
fighting was stopped, and the mob finally
dispersed. During the melee at the meet
ing some enterprising thief in the crowd
relieved Dr. Tanner 'of a 5-pound note.
Though Dr. Tanner was severely handled,
his injuries are not serious.
BARRING OUT FOREIGNERS.
The House Committee's Bill to Bestrlot Im
migration Beady to Be Submitted A
Strlntrent Measure How It Will Be En
forced II Fassed.
WASH.nrGTOir,June 30. ISpectal Rep
resentative Stump, Chairman of the House
Committee on Immigration, had a confer
ence with Chairman Crisp, to-day, relative
to the consideration of the proposed new im
migration bill. Mr. Stump has nearly com
pleted his report, which he hopes to be able
to submit to the loll committee early next
week.
To insure consideration of his bill he
suggested td the Speaker that it be put
through .under suspension of the rules.
This will probably be done, unless it can be
assured of consideration in the regular way.
Mr. Stump says there is little or no op
position to the bill, for an abundance of tes
timony taken here and In New York has
convinced everyone who is interested in the
subject that more stringent laws on the sub
ject are necessary to protect us from an
overflow of pauper and undesirable immi
grants. In his report Mr. Stump will show
that under the proposed law the captain
and surgeon of each vessel engaged in the
transportation of foreign passengers will be
obliged to certify that each passenger is
able to take care of him or herself after
landing, without becoming a burden to the
city in which they land. The agents of the
various steamship companies will also be
mulcted of a certain amount for every unde
sirable passenger they contract to bring to
the United States.
By this means Mr. Stump says the class of
Immigrants will be different from those who
have flooded our shores under the present
laws. Under the existing law Commissioner
Weber is the sole judge of the merits or de
merits of immigrants. Now it is proposed
in all doubtful cases to refer the matter to a
