SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Omaha, Neb, July 2. The chance to be President of the United States which the National Convention of the People's paty will offer somebody next Monday isn't exactly alluring, but the two or three n ho could have had the honor have mod estly turned their backs when it was un officially proffered them. Until late this afternoon it seemed proba ble that Judge Gresham would be nominated almost unanimously, in spite of his declara tion that his name would not go before the convention with his consent. His friends translated his refusal just as Blaine's sup porters at Minneapolis construed his al most identical declaration of his position in his February letter. But4hen came finally a positive statement from Jndge Gresham to the effect that he would not accept any nomination nor any platform. This roakesa really interesting coup d'etat impossible, and the Republicans of several "Western States will receive the news with sighs of relief. Jow the problem with del egates who have any political shrewdness is how to beat Weaver, for the former Green back leader seems to be the only willing man in sight A Great Lack of Leadership. The lack of leadership is painfully felt. A year ago the movement had but two men wJio were fitted to lead a party. Neither is tire to-day. President Polk, of the Farm ers' Alliauce, was one. He was not a great Ijan, but his judgment was good, and he commanded a stronger personal following than any other man of tbe Alliance and its allied leaders. He would certainly hare been itie uominee of this convention had he lived. '"" ' - The other man whose absence is felt al most as disastrously is L. F. Livingston, of Georgia. Equipped with all the qualities oi the Abraham Lincoln type, he might have been the chosen son of the new party. He demonstrated bis power signally at the Cin cinnati conference, when, by a speech second only to Bourke Cockran's late effort in eloquence and force, he compelled the attention and admiration af an audience al most unanimously hostile to his message of warning. A Strong: Man who Is Silent. So strong is Mr. Livingston in Georgia that with the Democratic nominee he could easily take the electoral vote of the State out of the Democratic column. He de clared openly almost up to the time of the St. Louis conference in February that if the Democrats nominated Cleveland, or any other anti-silver man, and tailed to recognize any of the Alliance Democrats in the present session of Congress, he would throw all his in fluence in favor of the People's party in the South. He has not been heard from in Omaha, and he continues to keep strictly in line with the Democratic majority at his place in Congress. There is one man, and one only, who is actively seeking the first place on the Peo ple's ticket He is General James B. Weaver, and he is managing his canvass very shrewdly. He believed from the start that the Gresham boom would end in a positive declaration from the Judge. Weaver Bard to Knock Out Now. With a view of keeping other candidates in the background, Weaver and his friends have been industriously adding to the Gresham talk. They calculated that the withdrawal of Judge Gresham would leave Weaver the only available men to fight, and they were almost right The probability is that if Sunday did not intervene before the nominating session of the convention, Weaver would be nom inated. Many of the Northern and Eastern delegates realize that Weaver's name would be almost the weakest one they could put at the head of the ticket, and there will be a most determined effort made from now on to prevent such action of the convention. Some of the strongest men here will work to this end, and it is not unlikely they will succeed. THIRD PARTY IN SESSION. Called to Order by Chairman Tanbeneck Welcomed by Omaha's Mayor Re sponse by Ben Terrill Features of the First Morning Meeting. rST ASSOCIATED PRESS. Omaha, Neb., July 2. Even in the convention hall the People's party would seem anxious to preserve an individuality and to set at defiance the example of the two great parties whose national conven tions were just held. The extensive prepa rations made by the Democrats at Chicago and by the Republicans at Minneapolis are noted by their absence at the Coliseum in Omaha. Nevertheless, the building pre sented a gay and inviting appearance as the delegates began to assemble to-day, and as the hour of meeting approached an exhibi tion of enthusiasm was added to this sprightliness, which could not be exceeded it the hall would contain 100,000 instead of one-tenth that number. The circular hall had been arranged in terraces, with a number of outlets, with an absence of any confusion. Flags and ban ners floated from every pillar and arch, ana the display of evergreens in something in the nature ot triumphal arches, not the less inviting because of their scarcity, addeu a BACKS URNED HONOR degree of freshness to the .scene, while the numerous devices emblematic of the party's principles are a welcome to the delegates more from the elegance of design than for the sentiment they expressed. A Fine Day for tbo Opening. . The day helped not a little to add spice to the gathering. The sun was shining brightly through the windows, lending its influence to tbe inspiring scene. The dele gates were slow in arriving. The represen tatives of Massachusetts were the first to en ter and were received with cheers. Delega tion and delegation followed. The hall was filled with labor leaders in straw hats and summer attire, in keeping with the day. There was a slight lull as Chairman Tan beneck, of tbe National Committee, an nounced that the first National Convention of the People's party was now convened in regular session. There was a bnrst of ap plause. Prayer was offered by Kev. Ben jamin DifTenbacher, a well-known Alliance man, as follows: We tbank Thee, Heavenly Father, for the parties that have had their birth in the past and filled their destinies, great and grand. We thank Thee for this good day, and re joice that Thou dost ever in wisdom, upon the dying old, build the ever-living new. "The next thing in order," said Chairman Tanbeneck, "will be the address of welcome by Hon. George P. Bemis, Mayor of the olty of Omaha." During his address Mayor Bemis said: Tbe People's party. If time to its name. Is a party of tbe people, by the people and for the people. That it will be the endeavor of tbe representatives here assembled to vin dicate its name I have no doubt: that great good may result from your delibera tions and action I sincerely hope; that you will fearlessly lace tbe great Issues of the day 'I firmly believe. These are Issues which, like tbe ghost of Banquo, will not down. The silver question still re mains tbe great, living issue, bnt the way it bas been Ignored, evaded and thrust aside by both tbe Democratic and Re publican parties, one might suppose it was already settled, if not dead and forgotten. But no question Is ever settled until it Is set tled right. Tbe great wrong done to tbe people by tbe demonetization act of 1873 re mains to be righted. This can only be done Dy re-endowing silver with Its true money function, aud making it, as it was Intended by the Constitution, eqnal with cold for all money uses. Prolonged applause.' If the Republicans and Democrats refuse this they should not complain if tbe people take the matter in their own hands. Applause. Response by s Popular Texan. Hon. Ben Ten-ill, of Texas, on behalf ot the convention responded to the address of welcome of Mayor Bemis, bnt before he could be heard Mr. Washburn, of Missis sippi, proposed three cheers for the Mayor of Omaha, which were given with good will. Prolonged cheers greeted Mr. Ter- rill's appearance. His speech was also Eunrtnated with cheers. During it's course e said: The South will vote lor the man who stands upon the St Louis platform, be he who be may, and the man from the Seuth who does not share that spirit had better leave the halt (Cheers.) The speaker then declared that the Peo p'e's i arty had ended sectionalism, and tor that was entitled to the gratitnde of the people. The campaign would be one of principle, and not of vilification and black mail like those of great campaigns of the old parties for many years. The principles .of the party were summed up in the declara tion that patriotism had a higher place than party. He concluded by returning thanks to th'e Mayor and to the convention for the honor they had conferred on him. Chairman Taubeneck announced the list of temporary officers selected by the National Committee, and thev were selected by ac clamation. C H. Ellington, of Georgia, was introduced as temporary Chalrmau, and in his speech of acceptance he said: Chairman Klllngton's Remarks. I solute you. From far off Georgia, tbe great empire State of tbe South, I come to greet you. Language falls me. It is impos sible to tell my hlzh appreciation 'of the honor this greatest of conventions has con ferred uponrnd by electing me to the tem porary chairmanship. Bnt when my mind turns to the great purpose for which we have met its mighty depth, length and breadth, its wonderful conception, all that is wrapped, up in it what it means to us to be defeated and what it would mean should victory crown our efforts all these things crowd npon me, and I long for the tongue or Gabriel whose trumpet tones shall reach to the furthest end of the globe, arous ing and convening the people wherever its sound shall fall upon thetn, A mortal com bat is on, end the ballot will be the weapon of war. Cheers. Tbe eves of the world are upon us. Some are looking at us with hate and tear in their hearts, while others are watching ns prayerfully, anxiously, and hopefully. The Chairman's reference to the deceased President of the great farmers' organization was received with cheers, and when the picture of President Polk was handed to him by Chairman Wilson, of the North Carolina delegation, and hoisted into view, the convention arose with one accord, ana the scene was one of befitting reverence to the memory of a great leader. At the conclusion of the Chairman's speech. Mrs. Todd, of Michigan, advanced to the platform io present Chairman Elling ton with a gavel, to which, she explained in words of fervor, a history attached. The gavel was carved, she said, by the wife of Bon TerrilL The wood came from a tree planted by Washington at Mt Vernon. The announcement was received with enthu siastic cheers, and Chairman Ellington ap propriately replied. At the conclusion of this pleasant little incident the roll of States was called to re port their members of the Committee on Credentials, and at 1:25 o'clock the Conven tion adjourned until 3. A SESSION OF SPEECHES. Ignatius Donnelly the Chief Entertainer of the Afternoon The Old Parties Denounced in Red-Hot Style To-Mor-row Likely to See the Ticket Nauiott. Omaha, Neb., July 2. At the opening of the afternoon session, messages of con gratulation were read from various party leaders. One from Virginia ran: "Hold the fort, Virginia is coming." The reading of this communication from Washington, signed by members of Congress who couldn't attend, provoked great applause: The subscribers here desire to tender to you our utmost thanks. Nothing would pleaso us better than to meet with you, that we might clasp hands and exchange with yon words of encouragement as coworkers in tbe great struggle now going on between the people and those who live and fatten through class laws and the violation of tbe law. Bnt however pleasant it might be for ns to meet ana enjoy a general handshaking, yet in onr opinion those of us who are not delegates should remain here to watch over the work which the people have given us to do. The two "Wall street parties have held their conventions. Tbey have nominated their candidates and are marshaling their hosts. One side is engaged In "putting the rascals out" Tbey have no acts or objec tions but tbe spoils of office, while tbe people are sinking from affluence to pennr; and labor in tbe cities, factories, shops and mines is surely dying of starvation and by Pinkerton bullets. It 1b the mission of onr new party, then, to restore to tbe people their God given rights and tbe scepter of tbe Govern ment; to restore the people their lands and their confls:ated highways, and tp wrest from corporatlonsanumoney kings the con trol of the people's money and all the other appliances of commerce and of our Christian civilization. The Times Considered Auspicious. We have full faith in your united wisdom. We believe you will seleot for our great party of the people standard bearers who are worthy of tbe times and tbe occasion, and you will arrange the necessary details for a vigorous and successful campaign. The times are auspicious. Men are every where surrendering their party prejndloes and trampling under foot old party lines, Tbey are crying out on all sides north, sontb, eat and west "What must we do to be eaveOt" Let us on with the work so nobly begun by our patriot fathers, that the Government of the people, by the people and for the peo ple shall not perish from the earth. Accept, gentlemen, our fraternal regards, and may the Great Ruler of Nations guide yonr coun cils. , After the reading of -these messages, while awaiting the report of tbe Committee on Credentials, Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, was Introduced and spoke at length on the issues of the' People's party. He said: My friends. Tarn of the opinion that bodies like this are Intended rather for action tban for speeches. 1 bate to trespass upon your time and attention, save at tbe request of the Executive Committee. Tbey assure me that pending tbe report of the committees nothing will be done, and they are in clined to think a speech by me may be a good substitute for nothing. Laughter. That being tbe case, I will trespass on your attention a few minutes. I do not mean to indulge In any words of idle oompllments for the dignity or the ooeasion lorbids it when I say tbat no greater body of men bas ever assembled npon this continent than thee who sit here to-day since those men who formulated the immortal Declaration of Independence. - A Convention Free From Monopolists. It is in many respeots the most astonish ing gathering this country bas ever seen a convention without a single tool or instru ment of monopoly In its midst, a convention whose every man has paid the expenses of his Journey hither and his return, or which have been paid by a man as poor as himself. Cheers. There 18 not In this gather ing a single president of a railroad company. Cheers. There is not a single representative of any of tbe army of rings which are robbing and sucking tbe lifeblood of the American people. Cheers. I cannot help bnt tbink of tbe astounding contrast that this body presents to the conventions which have recently met In Minneapolis and Chicago. One little point emphasized tbe difference, and should be sufficient in Itself to show the American people who are its friends. There are in this convention delegates fiom the distant State of California, and they could not obtain the same railroad concessions that are granted to the national conventions. They are here at a cost, as I am Informed, of 1150 to each of them. I am told that there are delegates lip re from Wyoming who traveled 8)0 miles in farm wagons to reach the nearest depot, where they took tbe train for Omaha. Cries of "Hurrah for Wyoming!" I see on yon der pillar hoisted the banner of tbe great State of Massachusetts, and we might say in tbe words of Web ster: "There is Massachusetts: she speaks for herself." Cheers. On yon banner I see the words: "Spirit of 1776." This Is the spirit that animates this august gathering; we are the lineal representatives or those men in homespun and deerskin, those hunters, fishers and farmers who founded the nation, a , nation without a millionaire and without a pauper. Loud cheers. Growth of Millionaires In a Century. One hundred and sixteen years of national life under the management of two great parties bas gives us, aocordtng to the differ ent estimates, from 8,000 to 10,000 millionaires and 1,600,000 tramps, while tbe whole land is blistered with mortgages and the wbole pec- ? ile are steeped to the lips in poverty. My riends, every great fight that was ever made in the past for right and liberty culminates in this present gathering. Every battlefield or the past fought to make men more free, more happy and more pros perous baa shed tbe fruits of victory upon this great assemblage. Cheers. What a contrast to that Minneapolis Convention. The leading man of tbat body, the man most Setted and dined and wined was Chauncey 1. Depew, a 20 times millionaire. President of two railroad companies and representative or the Yanderbilts' $300,000,000. And tbe members of that con vention wriggled upon their vest buttons. Cheers. Why, be could not sneeze, but the Republican papers had pictures of him in every point of tbe process. Laughter and cheers. I had a debate the other day in Min nesota with a representative speaker of tbe Republican party, and I challenged him to point to a man in the great convention who could be mentioned in one breath with the great philanthropist and humanitarian who founded the Republican party. Where is Horace Greely, your Charles Sumner, your Wendell P. Phillips, your Abraham Linoolnf I asked him to point me out a single friend of labor in the convention, a 'Single friend of the poor, a single friend of tbe mechanic What was the answer? 1 was given an ex ample of the philanthropist Fred-Douglass. Cheers. "Why," I replied, "you have had to go out or your own color to find an ex ample." Cheers. McKlnlty4s a Philanthropist. And when I asked for another name I was given the name of William McElnley, Jr. laughter, a man who put up tbe tariff for the benefit of tbe protectionist manufac turers, to increase the bnrdens of the peo ple. That Is Republican phllanthrophy. It would bo a miracle if the American people bad not by this time appreciated Bill Mc Klnley's philanthropy. I saw a report of a debate the other day In tbe United States Senate; a Democratic Senator charged that tbe man who had first been put at the bead of the National Executive Committee was a tool of monopoly, tbe attorney for the great cattle combine, wbioU haa put into the hands'of tbe Big Four of Chicago an im mense lortune bv breaking down the nrlca of cattle from one end of the line to the oth er, while maintaining at tbe same time prices of meat on the mechanic What did the Republican say in re ply! He said tbat tbe Chairman of the Democratic National Committee was the representative of the Standard Oil Com- Fiany, a bigger rascal tban the other man. Cheers. I want it understood that I am not saying anything asainst the rank and file of either of these parties. Cries or "Good." The whole American people bave been in one or the other of these parties and, as the American people are in my Judgment the best and noblest people on the face of the earth, it would not become me to accuse either of them, but the leaders, the politicians and the conventions of these parties are legiti mate subjects for comment They point in the direction of this terrible power of plu tocracy that has got tbe whole country by the throat Tbe Terrible Power oi Plutocracy. Upon every bushel of wheat sold in Minne sota tbe farmers are defrauded of 3 cents by gigantio combinations reaching from Liverpool to the Red Biver Valley. In the South I learn tbat you are suffering as much and that the cotton crop does not pay the cost of production. Tou will find that the caue or the depieclatlon in prices is to be found in woild-wide combinations. Tbis battle in which we are employed is tbe bat tle of mankind. Cheers. Have you lorgotten that the two old par ties have been holding their conventions ever since tbe war closed, but never bas either of them dared to place in nomina tion, ror either President or Vice President, a citizen or either or those Southern States? I am willing that the Southern delegates to this convention should meet and agree npon a candidate for President, and I will pledge for the man so nominated the unanimous support of Minnesota. I can promise you the solid electoral vote or Minnesota for tho Peoples' party. I believe I can promise that Nebraska will go tbe same way and North and Sonth Carolina and Georgia. I know tbat we can count on Kansas. I tell you there is no such word as fall so far as this movement is concerned. Gentlemen, I thank you." J. C. Manning, the "boy orator" of Ala bama, was the next speaker. He was fol lowed by Alexander Campbell, of LaSalle, 111., "the original greenbacker," now a very feeble man. A Memorial Meeting for To-day. A resolution was adopted to the effect that when tbe convention adjonrned at the close of the afternoon session, it be to meet again at 2:30, Sundav afternoon, to partici pate in the memorial services for the late Colonel L. L. Polk, of North Carolina, and the late Bev. Gilbert Delameter, of Cincin nati, and that the doors be thrown open to the general public. T. V. Powderly was called for, but ex cused himself on the plea tbat his lungs were not equal to the task of speaking to so large an audience. The members of the Committee on Resolu tions were then announced. The Pennsyl vania member is H. S. Ayres; for West Virginia, J. H. Basel!, and for Ohio, Hugh Cavanagb. After the announcement of the Commit tee on Kesolutions there were loud calls for "Cyclone" Davis, and the ball was soon ringing with Davis' voice. He painted in vivid colors a picture ot things as they ex isted to-day in this country, saying: On tbe one side they see beneath the Stars ana oenpes, me emoiem or ireeuom ana liberty, 10,000 000 of landless people in a home less land. They bear tbe cry of the widow and tbe orphan, and mingling with that Continued on Seventh Page PITTSBURG, SUNDAY. JULY 3. 1892.

Th elections for the coming Parliament have already begun, and Lord Randolph Church ill is the first candidate to win bis se,aL He was returned yesterday from South Paddington without opposition. At the last election in this district, in 1886, Lord Randolph was opposed by J.

Elections were held to-day in the Parlia mentary divisions of West Bristol and East Bristol. In the former division Rt, Hon. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach (Conservative), President of the Board of Trade, was re turned without opposition. In the latter the candidate was Sir Joseph Dodge Wes ton (Liberal). Sir Joseph was also re turned without opposition. The Uit of Yesterday' Lucky Ones.

Sir John Lubbock, Liberal Unionist. The total of the elections thus far held shows the return of 11 Liberal Unionists and i Liberals. The Dispatch correspondent looked in at a schoolroom in North Lambeth this morning to witness the nomination ot candi dates for that constituency. He found Henry M. Stanley and his wife sitting at one end oi a long school form, and the Liberal candidate, Alderman Coldwells, at the other end, with about half a dozen elec tion agents sitting in the middle, appar ently to keep the peace. No Love Lost Between the Rivals. In tbat position the rivals sat from 10 A. M. till noon, the period fixed by ' the re turning officer during which he would acr cept nominations. It is remarkable that blood was not shed during these two hours, for Alderman Coldwells, despite his name, is a fiery individual, who has been saying many spiteful things of "the great explor er," and Mr. Stanley has frequently ex pressed a yearning to have Mr. Coldwells with him on the Kongo or Victoria Nyanza for a brief period. But the principals con tented themselves with throwing haughty glances at one another, while their sup porters whiled away the time in bandinage. Mr. Stanley spoke to no one but his wife until about 11:30, when it was learned that a deputation of malcontent Tories had gone in search of General Frazer, the late Tory member, to induce him to accept the nomi nation against him. It seems many Tories desired to have Frazer as a candidate be cause he had served them well in the past. but party managers, believing that the magic ot Stanley's name would detract many wavering voters, unceremoniously threw the old General overboard and brought forward the traveler. Stanley Doomed to Certain Defeat. But Stanley has proved a dismal failure, and, if anything is certain in London poli tics, it is that the Liberals will wrest North Lambeth from the Tories. Stanley himself seems to be aware of the fate in store for him, and during the last few days of the contest bis melancholy nas been extreme. Rude boys daily roar after his handsome pair horse carriage and yell rude things at him in the strong Lambeth vernacular. Workingmen have shown even less consid eration for his feelings, and have shown an embarrassing familarity with his exploits on the great African lakes years ago, when, according to his own writings, he indulged in any amount of promiscuous shooting of inoffen sive "niggers," appropriate enough to the ch aracter of a traveler and explorer, but hardly in keeping with his posture before the Radical electors of Lambeth as a hu manitarian who has conferred the blessings of civilization upon the Dark Continent. Mr. Stanlev has undergone all these and other humiliations in the confident belief that he is to be a member of Parliament, and for that dubious honor he has also re nounced his American citizenship and be come more English than John Bull himself. Tory Malcontents Still Against Him. Small wonder, then, that he became agi tated at learning of the Tory plot against him, and that his wife betrayed hysterical symptoms. As noon drew near he and his wife and his agents (be had no friends in the room) regained confidence. At 11:55 tbe malcontents sent out scouts to look for the General, and at 12 o'clock, when the returning officer declared the nominations closed, they vainly challenged the decision by claiming that the big clock at Westminster bad not sounded tbe hour. Mr. Stanley and his wife drove away, look ing almost happy. But they have little cause for congratulation, for if the malcon tents have failed to run their own candi date, they can, and probably will, -vote against the man who helped to jockey the gallant old Frazer out of his rights. There has been lively work in Ireland this evening. There is scarcely a town which has not been the scene of election fights of a violent character, and Limerick, at the moment of cabling, is said to be in the hands of rival mobs. The First Blood Has Been Shed. One man has met bis death through the present contest A number of dock laborers at Southampton became involved in a fight, and one of the participants was stabbed to death. J. H. Lewis, who is contesting the Flint distriot in Wales in the Liberal inter est, where the political parties are pretty evenly divided, was assaulted while address ing a meeting in the district. He was forced to flee from the platform and take refuge in a hotel. Colonel Seeley. an advocate of the eight hour miners' bill, is opposing Mr. Broad hurst as a candidate for Parliament in the West Nottingham district Mr. Gladstone has written a letter to Mr. Broadhnrst, in which he eulogized the letter's high sense of duty and capacity, and says: I will say nothing against the eight-honr bill, to which many of my honored friends, TBIS JOCKEY BISMARCK, Outof a Job The like Mr. Burt, are opposed, tnd whom it might be hard to coerce; but I wish to refer to The vital question whether tbe West Not tingham minors, for the sake of an eight hour day, will elect an enemy to the Lioerai and Irish cause. I have long known it as cbaracterlstlo of English workingmen, that they know how to sacrifice their own views and apparent interests to some wider, weightier cause. It was for that, during the American war, the population of Lancashire cbeerrully encountered the cotton famine because they bated slavery. Ireland's Need the Most Fresslns The Nottingham miners bave no such sharp alternative before them, but tbey know the Irish area nation of laboring men under a coercion act which tbe men of Not tingham would not endure for a moment, ana desirous of self-government which the Liberals desire to give them. They know, finally, tbat Ireland has been mocked by the offor of a local Government bill whioh no ministry would dare propose for England. I cannot, will not believe, that the voters or (Nottingham, on account of a supposed interest, will elect a man to perpetuate these shameful evils and reject nn old, trusted and faltbful friend. If they did, men might be tempted to ask, "Are these countrymen of the Lancashire people?" With high respect, and with earnest wishes for vour election, I remain, Yours most sincerely, Williah E.

Parnellltes tbe AEfressors In Many a Lively Shindy Sheehy Among the Wounded O'Brien Attached Again Father Behan Bandies Words With a Mob. DubtjIN, July 2L A serious political riot occurred In Waterford late last night Two political meetings were held in different parts of the city, at one of which the prin cipal -speaker was John E. Redmond, Par nlHte. At the other meeting David Sheehy, Anti-Parnellite, was the principal 1 speaker. Both meetings were well attend ed, and the usual style of campaign or atory was indulged Ih. There was no trouble at the meetings, but later the supporters of the Parnellite lac tion, headed by a band, stormed Mr. Sheeby's committee room. The anti-Par-nellites fought the attackers desperately, but the latter were in too strong force. The police charged the assailants, but their ef forts, too, were useless, and the committee room was captured. During the fight many of the participants on both sides were wounded, including Mr. Sheedy, who was injuredin three places. Several arrests were made. The doctors who were called to at tend Mr. Sheedy report that he is danger ously wounded. He is very weak, having lost a great deal qf blood. While William-O'Brien was addressing a meeting at Limerick in support of the can didature of F. A. O'Keefe, Anti-Parnellite, the assemblage was attacked by a band of Parnellltes armed with sticks. A fierce fight followed, during which several of the participants were wounded. The police ar rested the rioters and escorted Mr. O'Brien to his hotel. Father Behan, whose .recent speech, in which he bitterly attacked the memory of Parnell, and whose vituperate language re garding the Parnellltes has caused much bitter feeling, spoke again in this city to day He excused his former utterances on the plea that they were made in the heat of the campaign. After the meeting was over a crowd followed Father Behan's carriage, hooting and yelling at him. The priest lost his temper, and, putting his head out of tbe carriage window, he called the Parnellltes scoundrels and said they were stuffed with the cheapest kind of porter. The police had to interfere to protect him from being assaulted. Colonel John P. Nolan, Parnellite, who is standing in the Northern division of County Galway, while canvassing his dis trict to-day was knocked down and badly beaten. A priest has been arrested on the charge of inciting the attack upon Colonel Nolan. The house of a prominent anti-Parnellite at Cork has been attacked by a crowd of Parnellltes, who smashed the windows and shattered the furniture. The children in the house were injured by stones thrown by the attacking party. GLADST0HE AT GLASGOW. The Grand Old Man febowi the Vanity of tbe Fears of Ulster. Glasgow, July 2. Mr. Gladstone ad-, dressed an enormous meeting here to-night Reminding the audience of the religious struggles in Scotland 200 years n,'o, Mr. Gladstone said tbat Southwet Scotland looked acrossthe sea to Korthnest Iruiaud, and geography had more to do with human sympathy than many are awari of. Un doubtedly some vein of sympathy with the supposed danger to Protestant interests in Ireland influenced the Scotch electors in 1886 to the detriment of the Liberal cause. He wished to point out that Ulster con sists ot nine counties, of which four are represented wholly by Home Rulers, three otners being also largely represented by Home Rulers.

MISS MATHER FREED. Short Trial in a Chicago Divorce Court Unties the Bond THAT HAS CHAFED FOR SO LONG. Tne Only Claim Made bj the Fair Actress Was That of Desertion. HEE PITTSBDRG HUSBAND LOVELESS SPECIAL TKLZOBAH TO TOI DtSPATCn.1 Chicago, July 2. Judge Vail to-day granted a divorce to Margaret Mather, the actress. She came into the courtroom ac companied by her sister and two other wit nesses aud sat back in a corner nervously surveying the curious faces about her. When the case of Margaret F. vs. Emil Haberkorn was called she stepped forward and took her place in the witness box. She was dressed entirely in black and wore a large crape tie. While she gave her testi timony her dark eyes flashed and her cheeks became rosy. She said that she married Haberkorn while living in Buflalo. N. Y., in 188T. In 1890 the defendant deserted her, after a series of quarrels relating to money. The husband, the wife asserted, drew money from the management that did not belong to hiru. and dressed expensively and other wise lived beyond his meaus. . - Says Ber Hubby Only Bossed. The actress paid all of the living aud household expenses and the husband simply bossed the job. Haberkorn refused to return to his wife and she three years ago moved to Chicago and has since been living with her sister here. Among other things Miss Mather offered Emil a place in her company, but he re jected the offer, declaring that he would not live with or support her. Three witnesses testified that Chicago was the residence-of Miss Mather when not on theroad,andthe deposition of General H.C King, of Brooklyn, was read. The Gen eral testified that he had known Haberkorn since 1884 and his wife Bince 1888. He bad several conversations with the defendant in reference to the desertion. The Evidence as to Abandonment His first talk occurred in New York abont a year ago. King inquired of Haber korn why his wife was not living with him and he replied that he would never live with or support his wife again. The next conversation occurred in Pittsburg, in Feb ruary, when Haberkorn repeated his state ment that he would not live with his wife. The defendant was very emphatic and, told General King that he had lost all love for his wife and that nothing would induce him to live with her again. This was all the evidence introduced, and the Court awarded a decree to the com plainant This announcement changed the countenance of Miss Mather, and she left the court with a smile. Some time ago it was rumored she was about to wed her leading man, Otis Skinner, but she bas split with him since. She is about 33 years of age, shapely and pretty. She has two sisters and a mother living at Syracuse, N. Y. CYRUS FIELD DYING. The Atlantic Cable Projector Lying In an Unconscious Condition. Dcbbs' Fekkt, July 2. Ajpeda'. Cy rus W.

Nulla arrived in the country during the latter part of June, and finding the people dissatisfied with the new Government, stirred them up to revolution. The chief cause of dissatisfaction was the administra tion of General Roqne J. Munoz, having general command oi the North or Atlantio coast, with his headquarters at Truxillo. Munoz is charged with having instituted reforms with a vengeance, proceeding sav agely against the contrabandists, and per secuting the merchants and ill treating for eigners to such an extent as to call for a protest from all the American vessels in the Honduras trade. He proposed to erect a monument to Christopher Columbus, and to that end levied forced contributions on "" all the leading merchants, arresting aud im prisoning those who refused to contribute. . When Nuila, therefore, landed, the peo ple flocked around him. An attack was made on the barracks and the custom house at Ceiba, which were captured with small loss. The revolutionists then boarded and captured the United States steamer Jos. Oiera, which was landed there. There was a consignment of arms aboard. These wera seized 'and distributed among the revolu tionist forces. A small body was sent out, which captured Piedra, Poselada, Papolo leea, Befate and other towns between Ceiba and Tiuxillo. On the 25lh the revolutionists left Ceiba, on the Otera, and on the 28th took Truxillo by surprise, capturing the Commander in . Chief, General Munoz, while he was at a x balL The next movement was against Puerto Cortez, which is probably captured f by this time, as the Eevolutionists are ' numerous and well armed. , ft News from the i" r"r announces neeeJ " fql risings in the departamTOoTNUauvu Jfgf andToro, and the overthrow of the Lei tAi Government in them.
