NEEDS OF IRELAND.

Mr. Lloyd's Plan of Belief—He Proposes to Make the Country an Integral Part of the Kiugdom.

LONDON, August 21.—Mr. Clifford Lloyd, who was special British magistrate in Ireland during the troublesome days when Earl Spencer was crushing out the invincibles, publishes in. to-day's Times an elaborate statement of what he designates "Ireland's Needs.". Among these he places first, local self-government, which he advocates. He also favors the establishment of elective county boards, and the transfer of the power of initiative improvements and financial arrangements from government appointees, to the direct representatives of the Irish people, ^hotn he describes as the "recipients of the benefits and supporters of the burdens of local legislation." The abolition of the whole A system of Irish beaurocracy is strongly commended, and' Mr. Lloyd thinks that

Ireland should be incorporated as an integral part'of the United Kingdom, "from wuich the present vieeroyalty excludes it." The control of the courts of justice, the police and general taxation, Mr. Lloyd argues, should be kept in the hands of parliament. He condemns home rule In the sense demanded by the Parnellites, and claims that its establishment in Ireland would result in civil war between Ulster and the remainder of the country.

The Times, commenting on the whole subject, says Lord Randolph Churchill's new regime, which involves the county board scheme, advocated by Mr. Lloyd, •would certainly bring about a conflict between the boards and the Dublin castle government in the event of the continuance of the latter. This being the inevitable outcome of the plan, the enemies of the tustle government will, the paper says, urge the appropriateness of swceping awpy £he whole Dublin custle establislinK A, th'e supporters of which iiUBt, t'^refore, quickly prepare some /defense of its existence. What the defense can consist,of, the Times .does not undertake to suggest, but it declarer that (friends of Dublin castle canjhardly I fend it from the charge of being despe

Besides, continues the TimeB, Mr. Llo/cf'S accusation against the castle implies that its despotism is of a kind which on exceptional occasions arises for its exercise I necessarily' proves incapable, and this charge of incapacity, the Times declares, is ihe gravest of all the charges which the 'defenders of the castle rule in Ireland have to defend themselves,

Mr. Parnell to-day enteitained the /Dublin municipal council atArklowon I the Avooa. In at address the Irish leader said it would be impossible to revive the native industries of 1/ ted Twithout a free elective national ass ^bly, I possessing the power of control^ c.er all \j the political and economic affai^ of the I country. He said he hoped that a few ^months or at least a few years would bring back to the Irish people the right to govern Ireland at home and banish

English misrule forever from the land.

FRONTIER TROUBLES.

Almost a Fight at Karatepe- Russian and Afghan Troops Arrayed Against Each Other—J^ftussianOfficer Wounded —Explanations.

LONDON, August 21.—A dispatch sent to-day from Meshid, Persia, near the Afghan frontier^ to the Times, says that a collision between the Russian and Afghan posts nearly occurred on the 13th inst., at Karatepe, eighteen miles from CHa-xnani-Bard. Some Russian troops, the dispatch says, approached Karatepe and the Afghan troops there stood to their .arms. A Russian officer, when he saw "this, ordered his troopers to unsling their carbines and Je was shot and severely 'v wounded by /he accidental discharge of one of thei fweapon^..before the ex-j-A act nature this accident was ascertained there as considerable excitement and confusi

as soon as truth was made known. The Afghans then detained the Russians until they received an order from Herat to let them go. During the detention the Afghans treated the wounded Russian x^officer with great kindness, bandaged his wounds and sent him back to the Russian

HnesA hurried investigation of the occur rence was made on both sides. The ^Russian commander exonerated the Afghans, and promised that the troops should not again advance beyond Cham-ani-Bard. Jour English officers continue to supervise the work of strengthening the forts of Herat.

Gladstone's Voice Gone.

LONDON, August 21.—The physician vho attends Mr. Gladstone says that his complai.nt is of a chronic nature, not susceptible Oi any radical jjyre, and that he can never" recover his oratorical powers. His voice may be readily restored for purposes of conversation, so .that he will not tire in a few minutes and be obliged to talk in whispers, as was the case before he started on his yachting trip to Norway but however confident Mr. Gladstone may tfeel in regard to his vocal power, the physician says that a single electoral speech would so overtax his strength that it would deprive him entirely of the use cf his voice for a month ofterward.

THE REV. MR. DOWNS DENIES

That He Held Improper Belations With One of His Female Church Memberg,

BOSTON, Mass., August 21.—The Rev. W. W. Downs, pastor -of the Bowdoia Square Baptist church, publishes to-night statement concerning the charge of criminal intimacy with a member of his church now pending against him in court. After describing his former relations with Mr. Taber, the husband of the person in question, he declares that his attitude toward her has always been that of pastor and friend, and tf'it there never has been wrong doini between them. The events of the nigF in which he was arrested he describes th-J:

Monday evening last I was in her room at No. 7 Derne street. It is a little hallroom, and when the gas is lit it is very warm and oppressive. I had, with her permission, removed my coat. To reduce the temperature the'gas had been turned part of the way down. The chairs in the room, of which there were three, were ocpied by various articles laid out to be packed, as she intended going away with a lady friend to spend a lew weeks in the country at a place which my wife and I recommended. As she sat on the side of the bed at the head eating an apple, and I at the foot, with my teet resting on the floor, discussing the trip, there came' a terrific crash, followed bv her giving a loud scream and springing toner feet. Then rushed into the room three men with various exclamations. A general uproar for a few seconds was followed by perfeft self-possession on the part'of both Mrs. Taber and myself. No words were then exchanged with the men except a few common-place remarks. While. Mr. Taber went for an officer the two men accompanying him stood guard. The arrest without a warrant followed. When the door of -the room /as burst in Mrs. Taber was fully dressed, as I myself was with the exception of my coat. No criminal act had been committed, neither was any being committed, nor had any ever been committed between us, and all statements to the contrary are false."

A FASCINATING SALVATIONIST JAILED.

Captain Jennie Wilson, of' a Holiness Band, Accused of iiigamy, NEW YOBK, August 19.—Among the first soldiers of the Salvation Army to invade the quiet and peaceful city of Elizabeth last fall was Captain Jennie WUson, a petite, spirituelle and attractive blonde. She at once became the chief attraction of the meetings and insured a good nightly attendance ofJfoe young men. Howard Moore, oncy^Tf her mosf ardent admirers, induced Her to go to his house to board, and there she became acquainted with his elder brother, Henry, who soon became so infatuated with her that he insisted upon marrying her. She finally consented, with apparent reluctance, and the marriage took place May 13th. Within two days after the marriage the couple quarreled, and before many weeks they were at swords' points. Then Moore employed a detective to trace up his wife's history and as a result of his investigation he made affidavit that her name was Jennie

Frye, and that she had a husband living at Bellows Falls, Vt., whose name was Charles H. Frye. He therefore charj her with bigamy, and a warrant for Her arrest was placed in the hands of Sergeant Cotton, who went to hpr house ana found her locked in a room with her husband's brother, Howard. She quietly accompanied the officer to Justice Dobb's office, where, after hearing the affidavit read, she declined counsel, and said she guessed she could manage her case so that it would come out all right. She went to jail in default of $1,000 bail. She exhibited no fright, and asked to see the reporters, to whom she. talked with great freedom saying: "I was married to Charles Frye by Rev. Isaac McAnn, at St. Albans, on November 29, 1879, and got a divorce from him' in 1883. When I came to

Elizabeth I was an enthusiastic soul saver. I was persuaded to go and board at Moore's house, and Henry, poor stick, persuaded me to many him, by saying ihat he couldn't live without mp. Before we were married a day the trouble commenced. His sister had an ugly Temper, and made it hot for me. He was one of my most ardent supports when I started a mission here."

CREATES" A PANIC,

Cholera in tlie Canaries—No Travelers From Spain Allowed to Land—The Record of Deaths—Red Tape Fatalities at Marseilles. .MADHID, August 21.—The excitement among the people of the Canary islands, caused by a fear of cholera, amounts to a panic. They now refuse to permit any persons'froih Spain to land. They made an exception in favor of the new governor, and allowed him to come ashore, but received him with riotous-demonstra-tions and threw stones at him. The local authorities have resigned and many of the people have fled to the interior in fear of the approach of the scourge. Today soldiers are occupying the streets and all public buildings.

Throughout Spain yesterday there were 5,104 new cases of cholera and 1,644 deaths. During the twelve hours ending at midnight last night fourteen new cases and nine deaths were reported in this city, and 117 new cases and fortyone deaths in tfce province outside of the city.

The Pitted Pestilence Strikes Toronto. BUFFALO, N. Y., August 21.—A special to the Evening News irom Toronto, to-day, says: Two cases of smallpox have been discovered in this city, which have been imported from Montreal. The local health authorities have taken only flimsy recautions to prevent the spread of the _isease. The Globe asks the provincial board of health to take the matter in hand to prevent an impending epidemic.

Yellow Fever la Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August 21.—A sailor named Nieuwenhinsen, from the ship John Gibson, was found wandering among the sailors' boarding houses -sufferingrrom yellow fever.

HUMILIATED COWBOYS.

The Lesson That Was Taught Them by an Unobtrusive Tenderfoot. Milwaukee Sentinel.

There have been a great many stories told of the reckless daring and abandon of the cdwboy. He is an American production, and at' the sound of the word cowboy the mind reverts to some western locality where law and order are unknown, and are supplied by a rude set of conventionalities, the non-observance of which means violence without process of trial. The typical cowboy must be fearless, ready to shtibt at a moment's warning, wild in his make-up and language, and ready to perpetrate a joke on a "ten-der-foot" at any time.

But there :s often considerable hraggadocia in the cowboy, and a good illustration of this fact was told a Sentinel reporter by a station agent, who had lived in the west for many years and had been in the employ of various railroads ifl localities where cowboys were numerous. "I have seen a good many daring deeds terformed and coarse jokes perpetrated iy*cowboy8,"said the agent, "but I will tell you of a little incident where the wind was Aaken out of three cowboys by a. determined, fearless 'tenderfoot' It happened only last spring. I was then station agent and telegraph operator for the Northern Pacific Railroad company at a place near the Montana line. It was not much of a place, as it consisted only of a depot, a house or* two and a saloon. "One morning a traveling man, arrived at the depot by stage from up north somewhere. He had a small sample-case and sachel. He was below medium hieght, and rather slight, but was very neatly dressed and wore a Bilk hat. He was traveling for a New York jewelry house. He was about "aa hour early for the train east, and he opened his grip on the platform, took out albrush and dusted his clothing and shoes. He then drew" out an old newspaper, leaned" up against the side, of the depot with one foot projected in front of the other, and began reading. "Meanwhile, however, three cowboys had sauntered up to the depot. They all eyed him closely and watched his operations. When he began reading they huddled together and talked awhile in an undertone. Presently one of them—a big six-footer—left the group and began to saunter carelessly about the platform with his head in the air inspecting the posters on the building and the cornices. When he got around where the traveling man stood, he lifted his big brogan and planted it firmly on the jewelry man's foot. No apology was made. The traveling man looked up, drew his foot back a moment, then placed it back where it was. The cowboy passed back to the other two. They all chuckled and joined in the.low-toned conversation. "Soon the cowboy started out again on a similar round, gaping at the roof. When he reached the traveling man he' tried to bring down his coarse boot on the extended foot. The traveling man jerkerl his foot back suddenly, and the brogan came down with a thump on the platform. Another conference and chuckling followed. Finally the cowboy set'out on the third found. Just as he. was about to raise his foot to plant it on that of the traveling man, the latterjlooked up quickly and said: 'See here, there is my foot, and it's going to stay there. You step on it, if you want to, but I want to tell you that before you can get off oi it 1 will kill you.' "Such a volley staggared the cowboy. He looked at the foot, and then' at the small possessor, and finally moved off without stepping on it. Another consultation followed. "The traveling man calmly read his paper a few minutes, and then took from his satchel three apples. He looked at them a moment, and suddenly threw them a few feet into the air and then quickly drew a revolver, fired three shots, splitting each apple into a dozen pieces before they reached the ground. He replaced the cartridges in the erp^iftfch ambers of the revolver, and returnec^Bto his pocket. "The cowboys witnessed the act without saying a word, and soon, completely cowed, turned and left the depot. The traveling man- told me after they left that he would have killed three of them had the fellow stepped on his fool again, and I think he would, as he was quick as lightning. He then showed me a medal he carried, which he won as being t,he most rapid and one of the best shots in

New York. The story simply illustrates that there is sotaetimes a great deal ot fictitious valor and daring about the cowb°y."

THE TARIFF TINKERS.

Colonel Morrison Acting as the Prest dent's Instructor—Repeated Conferences Held.

WASHINGTON, D. August 21.— Tariff reformers-point with satisfaction to the fact that all of the president's advisers in congres none except Representative Morrison of Illonois was given to understand that his continued presence in ^Vashmg ton for weeks and months was agreeable to the chief magistrate. Neither Gorman nor Randall, nor any other senator or representative remained in Washington so consicjitly from the president's arrival until his departure, or was se ^frequently at the White house, and rto other, it is claimed, could have done so without injuring his standing with the president. The exception in Col. Morrison's favor is explained by the tariff reformers, on the basis that Col. Morrison was accepted as the president's instructor on tariff questions, and that repeated conferences nave been held at which views have been exchanged, and that Col. Morrison not only fully presented-his views to the .president, bnt was fully apprised of the president's idea or tie tariff legislation desirable and possible at the next session. The striking feature of the replies being daily received to the treasury circular of inquiry for views on tariff legislation is the unanimous approval expressed of the means adopted for securing the views of the people on this question. Almost every correspondent comments upon .the fact that a just revision of the tariff can only result from a popular expression of views from every part of the country, and they heartily approve the democratic mode of letting the people speak for themselves and of bringing their opinions directly before congress. The defect, they claim, in all previous efforts to secure improvement of the tariff system lies in the tact that the sentiments of the people who should be. consulted have really never been known.

OHIO RIVER MAIL SERVICE.

From

A Statement of the Situation Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 21.— The controversy with regard, to the mail service along the Ohio river stands as follows: The orders relating to the service between Evansville and Paducah and. Paducah and Cairo, looking to the curtailment of the first and the discontinuance of the second, have been changed to Mike effect on September 19, and are subject to abrogation up to that date if sufficient reason is shown.' No action has been taken in respect to the service between Louisville and Evansville, except to fix September 1 as the day for a hearing of 'the parties interested. Viewed from the standpoint of the postal authorities the star service is preferable both on the grounds of economy and efficiency. But there are commercial interests at stake which are dependent largely upon the continuance of the steamboat lines.' There are petitions from neighborhoods interested on both sides of the question but those in behalf of the steamboa service are in great preponderance

IS THE PRESIDENT ILL?

A whole army of artisans are still busy at six others. Chiemsee surpasses the finest portion of Versailles, ana its fountains excell all others, in the world. It is in the Louis XIV. style. The other residences are gothic OP feudal. King Ludwig's inherited fortune was so wst that. it w4s only within the last three years that he begad to feel what his architectural and operatic fancies cosfr him. He patronized Waepaer in the moet extravagant manner and wherthis treat' urer ventured to hint that 'the- expense was too great, King Ludwig answered that his love for W&gtterian opera was not so costly as a queen-consort would be. A year ago it was found impossihle to ^t) oh without borrowing half a million sterling on the king's civil list income, and guaranteed by the hereditary estates. More money is wanted. The king's relatives-.,are incensed at his having spent all t^ey helped him to borrow, and creditors are clamorous. A council of regency is demanded. Prince Bismarck, wishing to bring south Germany, into close union wiffi north, is greatly? interested in all this and as Prince Hohenlohe, who recently went to Varzin, is a Bavarian, and one of the few political men with whom King Ludwig deigns to converse, he will be able to give the chancellor a sound opinion about him.

When, some years ago, the king was /fldying the architecture of Versailles, was the guest of the German ambassa-

Senator Enstia Still in War Paint.

i-":'

Y., August 21.—There"

are reports of the illness of President Cleveland, in his camp in the Adirondacks. Night before last Dr. Conant: Sawyer, of Ausable Fdrks, received a dispatch from Dr. Ward, the president's otoly companion, which said: "Some on* at' once I want to consult with you about a patient answer at once." The doctor replied that he would go, although the name' of the patient was omitted from the dispatch. Dr. Sawyer had no doubt it referred to the president, as Dr. Ward.had no one else with him. The president has gained about forty pounds in weight since his inauguration. This rapid increase of flesh has worried him and ^is friends. New-comers to Washington are very subject to malarial attacks. These attacks are generally developed as soon as the unacclnqjited leave Washington for a pure climate.

Dr. Sawyer has not returned to SaratogaS since he was summoned to join the presidential party in the Adirondack woods.® His continued absence is argued by hisS friends here to mean something serious,^ as the doctor intended to return to£ara-^

toga as soon as possible. It is thoujjftt he may have gone to his home in Ausable Forks before returning.

PLATTSBUBG, NT Y., August 21.-*-The: report that President Cleveland is ill" and tljat Dr. Ward called Dr. Sawyer, of Ausable Forks, for consultation is false.
