A LONDON MOB OPERATES UNOPPOSED
ICOPTBIOIIT 1S92 BT X. T. ASSOCIATED PRESS. 1
London, Aug. 5. The series of confer
ences between the leaders of the Irish
party and Mr. Gladstone has definitely re
sulted in such a degree of mutual confidence
as promises to expedite greatly the advent
of home rule in Ireland.
The acceptance by Mr. John Morley of
the post of Chief Secretary for Ireland was
a point upon which the chiefs of the Mc
Carthyite faction laid considerable -stress.
Mr. Morley himself was reluctant to accept
the secretaryship, desiring some other post
in the Cabinet which would impose upon
him less arduous duties, and only agreed to
accept it when it was represented to him by
Mr. Gladstone that no other Minister would
so fully command the support of the Irish
members of Parliament
In an interview to-day, John Billon ex
pressed the satisfaction of the Irish party
at the prospect of Mr. Morley's holding the
post during the critical period in the.pro
gress of the home rule bilL Eeferring to
the reports printed in some of the English
papers that certain Irish members might
take office under Mr. Morley, Mr. Dillon
said that such a thing was next to impossi
ble. Xo Irishmen for an EncUsh Cabinet.
"No member of the party," he declared,
"would dare to accept a place under any
English Government. We are pledged,"
be added, "to accept no post except under a
purely Irish administration when we get it;
and any man violating that rule would be
expelled from the party. Ton do rot hear
of anyone aiming at a place under the Glad
stone Government. The English papers are
entirely wrong in regard to the matter."
When asked whether he could com
' municate what modifications Mr. Gladstone
! had made in his home rule bills, Mr. Dillon
replied that he was not at liberty to say
anything except that the bill was likely to
be one that Mr. Parnell would have ac
cepted, adding:
We will not take anything less. Mr. Glad
stone knows that our position in the matter
Is definite and inflexible. He has pledged
himself to place home rule in front of all
other measures, and to keep it there until it
is tiassed. I believe wo can rely upon his
intention to do so.
Regarding the modifications of the origi
nal bill, toe most Important is one that has
already been announced the retention or
Irian members in the Imnorial Parliament.
AVe have stipulated that Ireland's represen
tation shall be as full as no w. We will not
assent to any reduction in our numbers.
Mr. Gladstone knows that his other modi
fications in the bill, as accepted by Mr. Par
nell, we will not go back on. We have no
reason to suppose that the Liberal leaders
contemplate jtivins usless: but if any change
should occur, altering their policy, we will
at once suspend our support of the liberal
Government.
The Irish Absolutely Independent.
The American press ought to know that
our position is one of entire independence.
Onr alliance with the Liberals is to carry
home rule. By that we shall abide. To show
our independence, we have decided to sit In
opposition to the Liberal Government: but
we will support them as long as they keep
to Mr. Parnell's bill not a moment longer.
"When do you expect Mr. Gladstone to
introduce the home rule bill?"
"As soon as the House reassembles in
January, or early in February. We do not
expect an autumn session. The House is
likely to adjourn next Friday."
Alluding to Mr. Blake's copious
eulogiums of Mr. Parnell and Mr. Parnell's
policy at the Eighty Club dinner, the As
sociated Press representative suggested
that these thinei indicated a rapproche
ment with the Parnellites. Mr. Dillon re
plied that he knew of nothing pointing to
more friendlier relations with the Parnell
ites, and that no communications pointing
that way had been exchanged recently. Mr.
Blake, in his speech and general bearing
approving Mr. Parnell's policy, was like
the other Irish members.
The majority were so united that they
did not require to go out of their way to
conciliate the factionists, though they
would be glad to.receive them back. The
majority's meetings were held under a bond
of secrecy, but he (Dillon) could say they
were tending to entire harmony in the
party.
The Ceremony of Oath Taking.
The Associated Press representative, in
collating the views of the McCarthyites in
the lobby of the House of Commons, found
the outline of the home rule bill given in
these dispatches on June 24 confirmed by
the whole tenor of information given them
by the Liberal leaders.
When the House of Commons adjourned
to-day 3i3 members had been sworn in and
had signed the roll. It was a good dav's
work, and was devoid of the solemnity
sometimes associated with oath-taking. A
number of the members simply affirmed, in
cluding John Burns, one of the labor
leaders, and Mr. Naoroji, the Parsee. Sev
eral Quakers and Hebrews took the oath
with their hats on.
Keir Hardie, the Laborist, with boorish
ostentation, -walked up the floor of the
House, keeping his cap on until he was
called to order by the Speaker, when he re
luctantly took it oft. He has already ac
quired in the House the character of
a pugnacious lout, but the House has
lashed into decorum even worse specimens
than he.
Mr. Davitt took the oath without a sign
of conservative protest, and was at once
surrounded by congratulating members, who
were glad to hail him as a gentleman, even
if he was an old Fenian convict.
The Situation In Afghanistan.
The serious position of affairs in Afghan
istan has decided the Indian Government
to send General Sir Frederick Eoberts at
the head of a large detachment, called an
escort, but really a small army, to meet the
Ameer at Jellalabad. The 'Ameer wants
money and new arms of precision.
Private Simla advices indicate that a
grave military emergency is impending.
The existing settlement with the Ameer
was made by Sir Lepel Griffin, instructed
by Mr. Gladstone, whoss entrance into
office is thus signalized by fresh troubles.
The Keweastle Unionists have selected a
wealthy London merchant, Mr. Balli, to
contest the seat against Mr. Morley. Mr.
Balli has consented to ran.
Althorpe's library has been bought for
250,000 by the millionaire Mrs. Dylonds
and presented to the city of Manchester.
Englishmen are so busy instructing
America how mobs of workingmen should
be dealt with, that they overlook an affair
that has just occurred here. Thousands of
idlers assembled in Leabridge road, pre
pared to remove alleged obstructions
erected by the London Water Works Com
pany, and tore up a large fence and de
stroyed the palisades guarding the river and
a short railway line used to convey coal to
the pumping station. Afterward the crowd
danced and sang. The police made no at
tempt to interfere beyond taking the suiM
of the leaders.

in Josalrava. Eleven cases and two deaths
have been reported. In Tamboff there are
181 new cases and 39 deaths.

that in all but one of the outlying districts
the public health has improved. The
exception is Argenteuile, where 100
deaths have occurred within the
past week from choleraic diar
rhoea and typhoid fever. More than
150 persons in the same suburb suffering
from the same illness have been removed to
hospitals in the past two days. A majority
of the sufferers are employed in the lime
quarries in the vicinity of Argenteuile.

ance to all her competitors, in the case of
one of the yachts the allowance amounting
to 29 minutes. Owine to the lightness of
the wind which prevailed, the Emperor did
not sail on the Meteor. The race was for

Prices Are Low, ns the Dealers Are Afraid
of Refrigerated Artlclet.
London, Aug. 5. An auction sale of
California fruit, which has just arrived here
from 2sew York by the steamer Majestic,
was held to-day. The fruit was in fine con
dition and was greatly admired, but En

will not keep sufficiently long to enable the
trade here to handle it with profit.
The bidding to-day was slack and the
prices paid were low. Washington plums
brought 10s per box; Souvenier de Congress
pears, 15s to 17s, and Bartlett pears, 10s.

London, Aug. 6. The Foa says it is
practically certain that ths division on the
address in reply to the speech from the
throne will not occur before next Thursday,
owing to the large number of Unionists who
will take part in the debate. The Queen's
speech will advert to the policy pursued by
the Government, and will intimate their
determination to 'adhere to the principles
whereon it is based in the future, thus
giving a wide scope to the debate.

ATR AKENED BY A PISTOL MUZZLE.
Two Masked Robbrrs Terrorize a Woman
and Rob Her Home.
New Castle, Aug. 5. Special Mrs.
John Craig, who resides in North Beaver
township, was awakened early this morning
by the muzzle of a revolver pressing upon
her forehead. Beside her bed stood a
masked man. Mrs. Craie, being quite aged
was terribly frightened, but she managed to
ask the man what he wanted and if he
intended to kill her. He said, "No,
not if you keep quiet."
Another man, also masked, here made
his appearance, and after terrorizing the old
lady the two robbers proceeded to ransack
the house. They got a gold watch and a
pocketbook containing 570. When they
left the house they advised the old couple
not to leave the premises for an hour under
penalty of death. There is no clew to the
burglars. Mrs. Craig is prostrated since
the occurrence.
DIED OF A BEOKEN HEABT.
A Little Boy Unable to Outlive Abandon
ment by His Parent".
Elizabeth, Aug. 5. Special Cbtrlea
Haber, aged 14, on July 27 was sent to the
State Reform School from this city tor steal
ing tools belonging to the workmen en
gaged in building the new city hospital Yes
terday the boy died at the reformatory, as
is alleged, of a broken heart, because his
parents abandoned him to his fate.
His father, Jacob Haber, is a brewer and
lives at 845 Lafavette street here. Neither
he nor the boy's mother called to see the
lad during the week he was in jail waiting
to be arraigned. This preyed greatly on
the young prisoner's mind, and. although a
strong, healthy boy, be rapidly pined away
in confinement. Had his parents taken any
interest in his behalf the court would have
suspended sentence, as the tools stolen were
all recovered.

COMPLETION OP NEBRASKA'S TICKET
(SPECIAL TELIQKAM TO THE DISPATCIM
New York, Aug. C Hon. Thomas
ColIlerPlattandHon. Whitelaw Reld had
a talk this afternoon over the Republican
situation in New York State. Mr. Piatt
and Mr. Reld have been on the point of
meeting several times recently, but Mr.
Piatt has been rather busy and Mr. Reid
has been overrun with friends since his
nomination at Minneapolis.
Mr. Reid is taking a personal and ag
gressive interest in the national Repub
lican campaign. He has had quarters In
the Fifth Avenne Hotel and also in the
Tribune building. While the President was
overwhelmed with work in the closing
hours of Congress, Mr. Reid has had time
to be active and vigilant. Naturally, he
desired to consult with Mr. Piatt as to the
practical details of the campaign in New
York State.
It was developed in their talk to-day that
a good deal more work has been done by
Chairman Hackett and his asso
ciates of the State campaign committee
than many are aware of.
It is possible there may be a change in
the programme, whereby the President was
to ston over in New York City on his way
from Washington to Loon Lake, and hold
an informal reception at which the leading
Republicans of the State were to be present.
The President is anxious to get to Loon
Lake. Mrs. Harrison is not particularly ill,
but neither is she very strong.
The President naturally desires to learn
the exact condition of his wife' health. It
is said that possibly the President will
defer his visit to the" Fifth Avenue Hofel
until he leaves Loon XLake on his return to
Washington.

HABBIBON TO BE HEABD
At a Number of Campaign Mass Meetings,
Unless Something Prevents.
CqrytrMinjs, O., Aug. C Special Col
onel Chase was recently in Washington to
solicit the presence of President Harrison
at the great rally to be held at Woodsdale
Island Park, September 10. He says it is
more than likely the President will be
drafted into service to make speeches dur
ing the coming campaign, and if that is
done he will probably address the gather
ing at Woodsdale.
Chairman Carter, of the National Re
publican Executive Committee, said to Col
onel Chase that be would insist on the Pres
ident participating in the campaign to the
extent of making at least a few speeches,
and Colonel Clarkson, Whitelaw Reid and
other active leaders are urging that he do
so. The President himself said he had not
decided what he would do in the matter,
but it is generally believed he will finally
consent to do as he is asked. He has agreed
to be present at the National League meet
ing to be held at Buffalo, next month.
COMPULSORY SUFFRAGE
Advocated by Attorney General Miller, Just
as Had Been Reported.
Indianapolis, Aug. C. Special
Among prominent visitors here is Attorney
General Miller. He has resisted every
overture to talk about political matters,
but upon being asked if it was
true that he had asserted in a recent Fourth
of July oration at Woodstock, Conn., that
suffrage should be made compulsory by the
disfranchisement of all who neglected to
exercise the privilege, he replied:
"Yes.that is substantially true. Our Gov
ernment is for the people, and it is only
through the ballot that the will of
the people oan be ascsrtained. Entirely
too much indifference is given to
governmental affairs by the people
in general and business men in
particular, and it seems to me that the only
remedy for this defection is to disfranchise
all who refuse to express their sentiments
by voting." He will return to Washington
in a few days.

gross, as to Senate and Assembly districts,
that it is manifest that discretion of the

seriously, if not fatally, burned at her
father's residence yesterday morning. The
young lady bad occasion to enter the pantry
while preparing the family luncheon at

match lying on the floor. In the explosion
which resulted her skirts were ignited and
she was almost instantly enveloped in

DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR

Favors a Brave Man Who Clings to

New York, Aug. 5. Special Jusi
about a year ago Stephen Van Cullen
White became so entangled in an effort to
corner corn and because of 'the, Chicago
manipulation of the cereal that he was
forced to surpend payments, owing a couple
of millions. The blow made a changed man
of him. His face was white, his manner
languid and his step slow, and there was
nothing about him of the bustle and rush
that had so long been his characteristics in
Wall street.
He handed over to his creditors every
thing he had left, and said that if they
wonid give him time and take his word ha
would pay dollar for dollar. They all took
his word and didn't ask for even a scrap of
paper in acknowledgment of the debts.
This cheered Mr. White up a good deal.
He got back his color and his energy and
started in with a determination to pay up.
He joined hands rith James B. Keene,
another gentleman who had met with mis
fortune, and who sinco 1884 has squared a
couple of millions of dollars. Mr. Keene
and Mr. White became personally and
jointly interested in the industrial securi
