Black Diamond Starts Out Again Work of the Rush An Anglo-German Difficulty. Victoria, B. C, Aug. 20. The Black Diamond left here y csterday.ostensibly on a trip up the coast to re tit, but it is said that she is really off on a sealing cruise into Behring sea -where the owners believe they have a legal right to hunt seal. This action shows what the popular feeling is here in regard to the United States jurisdiction in Behring sea and her power or her policy to enforce it. The report that Vice-consul Marvin, of Victoria, is interested in the seized sealing schooners is not the case. E. B. Marvin, ship chandler and part owner of the Sapphire, and Vice-consul Marvin aro different persons. The sealing schooner owners formed an association Tuesday night. A letter has been received from an officer of the United States steamer Richard Rush, stating that on Aug. C the Rush captured the British sealing schooner Lily, of Vancouver, while taking seals in the Behring pea. The schooner was searched and three hundred skins were found, which were piled on board the Ru9h. A prize crew of one man was placed on board and the Lily sent to Sitka. The seized sealers will have their cases tried in the Alaskan District Court, The Rush will proceed to San Francisco when rclioved by the Bear at Ounalaska. In all there hava been fourteen sealers boarded by the Rush and warned out of the Behring sea. besides six captured. v The sealing schooner Juanita arrived today from Benriug sea. The Juanita was boarded by the officers of the United States steamer Richard Rush, and COO sealskins seized. The schooner was ordered to Sitka, but no prizo crew placed aboard. The schooner Lily, seized Aug. 6bytho Rush, is the property of the Black Diamond. Excitement lias been caused in shipping circles here through the action of Admiral Heneage j'esterday in forcibly towingthe German bark, J. H. Hasted, from her anchorage in Esquiinalt harbor to the harbor entrance, although her master ?rotestcd and ran up tho German colors, he bark was discharging coal, and Admiral Ileneage sent word to Captain Reinarstomove out a he desired ancborago for his war vessel. The captain refused to do so. and tho Admiral sent an officer and bluejackets to move the vessel. Tho outcome is watched with interest. Tho German schooner, J. II. Hnsted, was towed to her former anchorage, in Esquimau, this morning, the harbor master having instructions to do so. While tho anchor was being hauled up an officer was sent by the admiral -warning tho captain not to move the vessel, but he would not desist, and the Hnsted is now in her old place, taking on cargo. It is stated that the incident would have been avoided had Admiral Ileneage. in tho first place, requested the harbor master to have the vessel removed. Captures by the Hush. WASHINGTON', Aug. 29. The Treasury Department has Teccived a telegram from Captain Shepard. of tho revenue cutter Rush, dated Alaska, Aug. 8,via San Francisco in which tho Captain reports the seizuro of the schooners Minnie, Pathfinder, Juniata nnd Lily, of Victoria, B. C, and the James O. Swan, of Port Townsend, for violation of the laws in regard to sealing in Behring 6ea. j Existence of a Texas Fever Kpldemtc Denied. Kansas ClTY. Aug. 29.-Mr. Ed Hewing, president of the Cherokee Cattle Company, is in the city. He has just returned from an inspection of the company's raugea in the Indian Territory. He says that tho reports that Texas fever exists to an alarming extent in the Territory are greatly exaggerated. So far as ho knows, and he is well informed on tho condition of affair there, there is no general existence of the epidemic anywhere in tho Territory, and the isolated cases are rarer than usual. Will Sampson He KecaUed? El Paso, Tex., Aug. 29. General Sampson, the newlv-appointed American consul at Paso del Norte, did not enter upon tho duties of his om to-day, as tho Governor of Chihuahua telegraphed that ho could not do so until the Mexican government sent him his exequatur, which.it is intimated, the Mexican government will decline to do, but will ask the United States government to recall Sampyn.

This com munity was astounded this afternoon by the statement that Michael Posse, treas urer of Shelby county, was a defaulter in the sum of $13,000. Mr. Posse came to the law firm of Adams & Hord a few days ago and told them he was short this amount of money. To-day Judge Hord notified tho bondsmen of the shortage, and requested them to meet to-night to take steps to make np the deficiency. Tho bondsmen are John Elliott, William Elliott. Alfred Ma jor (deceased), George Senour (deceased). Dr. A. Kennedy, Joseph B. Kandall, A. J. Thurston. George McConnell, James O. Parrish, John Messlck and Conrad Schroader. Mr. Posso was elected treasurer for the first term in 18S4 and re-elected in 1SSG. His last term was to expire on the 13th of September next. Mr. Posso was seen this evening, and stated that he first discovered the shortage in Apnl last; that he had used the money to pay ofi debts standing against him be fore ho went into otlice, and that the ro ceipts of tho oflice for the four years amounted to $10,600. Ho also said ho had real and personal property to tho value of from 10,000 to $11,000, which ho was ready to turn over to his bondsmen and give his note for the balance. The debts, he 6ays, he paid olf with tho money, had accumu lated upon him for ten years prior to his taking the office, and were duo to William Henry, deceased, John W. Robinson and others. Mr. Posso is a Democrat and a prominent Odd-fellow. He hao been in poor health for several years. This summer he has been confined to his house a great deal of tho time. Tho commissioners meet on Monday, and they will at once order an in vestigation of the books of the office. Mr. Posso was considered one of tho most re liable men in Shelby conuty, and his short age has greatly surprised the people. His races for the office he held have cost him a great deal of money, while his living ex penses have not been heavy. FLINT-GLASS TRUST.

Each linn in tho corporation will receive profits in proportion to tho amount of capital which it has invested. The operation of the factories will be the same at at present. under the direct management of tho own ers, but the business of tho trade will be in the hands of the corporation.

COMMISSIONER TANNER, INDORSED. The Grand Army Expresses Its Confidence In Ills Integrity Investigation Courted. Milwaukee, Aug. 29. The chief event to-day, at the meeting of the Grand Army delegates, was a red-hot time over resolu tions indorsing Pension Commissioner Tanner. Mr. Parkins, of Kansas, introduced a resolution heartily thanking tho adminis tration of President Harrison for the honor it has conferred on the Grand Array in ap pointing Corporal Tanner as Pension Commissioner and heartily indorsing his con duct of the hurcau, because itwascrectod for the benefit of the soldiers and sailors of the lato war, and denouncing the bitter and malignant criticisms of the press upon hi official conduct General Barnum, of New York, offered a substitute, to the effect that, notwithstanding the assaults of an unfriendly press, the encampment declared its belief in tho integrity ot Tanner, and its approval of his efforts to do all for tho soldiers and sailors that the laws will allow. Campbell, of Kansas, agreed with General Barnum in his ideas as to the proper wording of tho resolution, and said: Don't take a hasty vote. Wo can afford to stay here ten hours to settle this important question, and settle it richL For fifteen rears we have been declaring, and others have boen uttering a sentiment that the country can never nay tho debt due to the old soldiers, but Corporal Tanueris the first officer that has mado that sentiment a practical reality. I believe it Is tho high duty of this encampment to sustain him in working out that sentiment. If the Grand Army ot the ftepublic ever had a duty to perform, looking neither to the right nor to the left, to neither the committee that is investigating the workings of tho Tension Uureau nor to tbo Commissioner himself, it is now, and wo ought to pass mis resolution. The substitute differs with it in only one particular. It expresses a belief in the Integrity of Comrade Tanner, and would not ir.fluenco the action of the committee charged with the investiJitiou. It may bo better than au indorsement like that oflcred in tho original resolution, but we should make our indorsement strong enough. The original resolution expresses our Fentimento exactly. If Tanner is riihonct r has done any criminal act we will hud it out when tho committee makes its report. Tho pre sumption or law is tnat every man is innocent until ho is proved guilty ami as far as I am concerned I will make that presumption go to the fullest extent In this case. A delegate from Minnesota an hi ho wnnlrl no more dare to go back to the soldiers of ms fctate after harming a hair of 1 aimers head than to ride through a baud of Sioux Indians with their war-paint on. Ho urged the encampment to stand np to tho rack and sav that the ft. A. 11. -will Rtnml hr Tanner till something wrong is clearly proved against him. Another delegate saiu: A resolution of confidence lllco the Bubstltnto, should provoke no opposition, but when it is made a matter of Judgment it becomes a club in the hands of Tanner's enejnirs. Who knows anything about his administration of the Tension Bureau! It is not hi enemies, but his friends, that arc investigating him. We should not try to force the administration to suspend this iuvestigation. I was in Washington lat week, and I eard it charged upon the streets aiui everywhere that men employed in the bureau were all getting their cases made special, and taken up immediately, and rerated much higher, while the poor devils of tbo rank and tile have to stand back and wait. I told them that it was a lie, but If ho has done that, and we pass tho original resolut;on we indorse such action on his part. The substitute is broad enough. This encampment knows nothing of the details of Tanner's work, and cannot pass judgment upon it. We may believe it is all right, but we do not know it. If we pass the original resolution, and tho committee on Investigation should exonerato him, tue opposition press would say that tho administration dared not oppose the O. A. It., and they would have good reason to say it. After further discussion of the Tanner resolution the encampment adjourned until 3 o'clock. At the afternoon session Barn urn's substitute was redrafted to read as follows: That we thank President Harrison for appointment of our comrade James Tanner as Commissioner of Tensions, and that notwithstanding tho assault made on him we declare our complete confidence in his Integrity and our approval of his ender.vors to do all that can be dono under the laws far the veterans of the war, aud in connection with him we ask a full investigation of his administration of tho affairs of the Tension Bureau. It was adopted under suspension of tho rules unanimously amid great cheering. THE NAVAL BATTLE. . Tast Crowds "Witness It Graphic Description of the Great Spectacle. Milwaukee. Aug. 9. This has been the great day of the encampment as regards the crowds. The day trains brought in about 8,000 additional visitors, mostly from "Wisconsin and Illinois, tho great attraction being tho night naval battle in Milwaukeo bay. Fully a quarter of a million people occupied the beach, and the vast amphitheater on tho hillsido of tho Lake Shore Park was packed with Grand Army men and their wives, tho seats being reserved, for them. The battle was a splendid spectacle, being participated in hy ahout 6ixty vessels, besides a stationary mortar licet nnd 'by about 3,000 infantrymen and artillerymen. There were lired 70,000 rounds of musketry, 3,000 shells, 4,500 rockets, and 20,000 pounds of lire-works were exploded. The plan of tho battlo was an attack by a hostile licet and repulse by tho shore batteries, supported by infantry. The line of battlo lleet was led by the United atatrs man-of-war Michigan and revenue cutters Andy Johnson and Fessenden. The signal was given at 8 o'clock, and as if by magio tho wholo bay was illuminated, and the spectators could then see the animatedmovements of infantrymen, artillerymen and seamen as they got ready for the conflict. Then darkness succeede'd as the lino of battle fleet gracefully maneuvered, engaging the shore batteries, as they passed, and the latter returning the lire. It was a splendid spectacle which the spectators 6aw, as the vessels poured in their port fire and the land batteries responded. Guns, mortars and rocket-guns diHcharged their missiles, and as the fleet made the circuit the vessels continued to pour in their raking broadsides and the land batteries aimed their guns at tho passing fleet till burning wreckage was seen floating about here and there. Burning keroseno barrels were utilized to bring about this delusion. After a brisk action, lasting about half an hour, the brilliant spectacle of hissing shot and shell, flaming rockets 6hooting iu every direction, water witches skipping hither and thither in myriad confusion, ceased and only the occasional boom of a gun was heard. Mistaken m supposing that they had silenced the shore batteries, tho attacking forces now prepared to leave in small boats and eoinpleto the victory. But the beleaguered city is not ready to capitulate. The infantry force that has until now remained in reserve presses forward on tho beach in front of the batteries, ready to meet the landing force. As they pour their steady lire, round after round, into the midst of the approaching boats, the roar of musketry has superseded the boom of the cannon. The invading party is repulsed, and retreats in confusion. Two vessels are bo badly dis

abled that they are blown up with powder. A magnificent pi'rotechnic display follows the battle. Wounded In the Battle. Milwaukee. Wis., Aug. 29. During the naval battlo to-night, in the bay. a cannon on the United States revenue cutter Fessenden was discharged prematurely, and two sailors, John Schulz, of Detroit, and Charles Mottshead, of Montreal, Canada, were seriously injured about the hands. Mottshead's injury will necessitate the amputation of one of his hands. A mortar exploded on one of the mortar-boats

nnu two sailors. Frank Savles, of Milwaukee, arid S. S. Kook, of 'fheinsvilie, were pamfnlly but not RPrinnslv ininrail. Will

iam Bate, eighteen years of age, was also injured by the premature discharge of a mortar ou the steamer Henry Kill, of Kaciue, and received severe burns about the right hip and ankle. Several veterans were overcome by the heat and smoke, and were taken to the tents of the Ked Cross, where they were well taken care of. Logan Monument Fund. Milwaukee, Aug. 29. General Alger, president of the Logan monument fund, reported that the collections to date aggregated U,119.C0. A committee of five was authorized to place before Congress a proposition to set apart a portion, of tho $40,000 appropriated for the site to be added to the fund for the monument. General Warner left the chair and made a strong appeal for the monument scheme. Ho suggested that tho committeo be enlarged to include ono representative from each department, with instructions to push the work until the monument was finally erected at Washin gton. Trouble with tho Auxiliaries. Milwaukee, Aug. 29. Tho encampment refused to recognize the Sons of Veterans as ail auxiliary to tho G. A. R.. because of a disturbing faction in the former. Instead of giving the tfvo women's organizations, tbo Loyal Ladies of tho G. A. R. and the W oman's Relief Corps, formal indorsement, which would bo contrary to the rules, it was recommended that the encampment bid them God speed in the work. Additional Officers. Milwaukee, Aug. 29. At this morning's session of the National Encampment the election of officers for tho ensuing year was completed. Dr. Horace P. Porter, of Kansas, was chosen surgeon-general; W. li, Childers, of Kentucky, chaplain, and T. J. Lovett, of New Jersey, vice-commander. Home for Widows and Mothers. Milwaukee. Aug. 29. It is probable that the Woman's Belief Corps will accept the site offered by the people of Madison, O., for a home for soldiers' and sailors' wives and mothers. , DR. HOLMES'S BIRTHDAY. Th3 Beloved Foet Quietly Celebrates His Eightieth Anniversary A Note from Whittier. Boston, Aug. 29. Oliver Wendell Holmes quietly passed his eightieth birthday at Beverly farm. Letters and telegrams of congratulations poured iu upon him from all over the country, and this afternoon he received many ladies and gentlemen. Many beautiful floral gifts were sent to the Doctor, and the house is filled with sweet flowers. He also received a very handsome remembrance in the shape of a solid 'silver gold-lined loving-cup of beautiful design from personal friends and classmates, whose names Dr. Holmes desired should remain private. He stated that he had received a short personal note from his friend JWhittier. in wliieh tho latter merely expressed his regard, and his deep regret that his present ill-health would prevent his being present in person to grasn his friend by the hands, and teuder congratulation?. Tho Doctor oppressed his sorrow to hear that Mr. Whittier was not well. The Doctor greeted each of his visitors personally, with a cordial grasp of tho hand, and expressed his great pleasure at their coming. His inanuer is as vivacious, his step as elastic and his eyes as bright and merry as they havo been these many years back. Barring a slicht difficulty with his hearing, the (Doctor's powers aro unimpaired. BAR ASSOCIATION. The Xow President Warm Debate on the Subject of Federal Jurisdiction. Chicago. Aug. 29. The American Bar Association reconvened in tho Methodistchurch Block at 10 o'clock this morning. Prof. Simeon E. Baldwin, of the law school of Yale College, read an address on "Tho Centenary of Modern Government." This was followed by reports of committees and miscellaneous business. Charlcs H. Butler, of New York, presented a resolution pledging tho co-operation of the Bar Association in the celebration of the one hundredth an niversary of the organization of the Supremo Court of tho United States in 1890, and asking that a committee be appointed to make proper arrangements for that event. Aiie resolution was passeu unani xnously. Treasurer Bowie, from tho committee on special legislation, reported that, under instructions from the convention of last year, tho committee had proceeded to Washing ton to urge upon Congress the necessity of the passage of laws relieving the Supremo Court of the vast amount of business before it and to lessen the work of that body, but that, owing to the chango of administra tion.it had been determined to postpone urging tho consideration of such laws upon Congress until this year. The committeo was continued for anotheryear. Mr. Smith, of Pennsylvania, introduced a resolution to the etiect that tho association favor the es tablishment of an intermediate appellate court to relieve tho glut in the Supremo Court. The resolution was warmly discussed, Mr. Wilson, of Minne sota, attacking the resolution, paying that there was no necessity for auch an in termediate court aud that the evil, as it at present existed, lay in the too great power possessed by soulless corporations in appealing cases to the federal court, the ob ject of which, tho speaker said, was to wear out litigants. Our State courts should have more power, and the federal courts be restricted in their jurisdiction. The power of corporations, the speaker said, was so great that tho advice generally given to a client in a suit was to settle with that corporation at the best terms possible, because the corporation could secure delay by appealing to the federal courts, and a. poor man stood no chance at all. Ho was at the mercy of the corporation. Mr. Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois, supported tho remarks of Mr. Wilson, and urged that a return to the good old law of 1789, under which the country got along very well for fifty 5'ears, be made. The law mentioned by the venerable speaker restricted tho jurisdiction of federal courts to singlo States. The matter was finally disposed of by continuing the committee and allowing it to take unto itself four additional members, including the incoming president of the association. To-night Senator Trumbull declined to allow his name to be considered by the Grand Council. The council, at a caucus, Mibsequontly decided to name Henry Hitchcock, of St. Louis, as their choice for the presidency of tho association. To-morrow tho matter will bo passed upon by the members. Usually a nomination by the council is equivalent to an election. At a meeting to-night of the grand council of the association, composed of one delef ate from each State. William P. Wells, of lichigan, was elected president for the ensuing year. Mr. Wells is Judge Cooley's successor as lecturer ou constitutional law at Ann Arbor University, Charlemagne Tower's Estate.

WHO GOT DEOTS MONEY? Many Prominent Men of Evansville Said to Have Won Their Share. clal to tli IndianDoUs Journal. Evansville. Aug. 29. Sensational developments were made to-day in the Denny defalcation at Boonvillo. Tho prisoner has made a full confession of his guilt, charging his downfall to cards, and implicating about sixty gentlemen in this city as the beneficiaries of his stolen money at the gaming-table. Tho United States district attorney has been here all day interviewing various parties, and it is alleged that the 6ti its will be filed against the parties to-morrow. Among the gontlcmen implicated are many leading citizens, merchants and professional men, who havo had a slight penchant for the green cloth. Naturally enough, the matter has created a considerable rumpus and many rumors aro afloat. It is ch arced that the whole affair is a black-mailing scheme on the part of Denny's bondsmen, who have been compelled to pay ont $7,000 to make uphisdofdcit. What will be tho outcome cannot yet be determined, though it is maintained that the bulk of the defaulter's losings was to sharpers outside the city. ' CE0NIN CONSPIRATORS. All Will Be Tried Together Except Woodruff Judgo McConnell's Decision. Chicago, Aug. 29,-Judgo McConnell this morning decided that all the defendants in the Cronin trial must be, tried together, with the exception of Frank Woodruff. He said that in view of Woodruff's confessions, it would be manifestly unfair to allow him to go on trial with the others. Judge Mc Connell in his decision said, among other things: The state of the case is substantially this: Daniel Coucrtilin. Martin Burke. Frank J. Wood ruff alias Black, John F. Bees, Fatrlck O'Sulllvau. John Jvunze and Patrick Cooney, are Jointly indicted for the murder of Patrick n. Cronin. All of them, except Cooney, are in court, and have entered pleas of not guilty. Daniel Couirh-lin-moves for a separate trial, asking that his case may be severed from all the other defend ants, jviarttn isurae ana f ran k j. an oodrun each makes a similar motion. Patrick O'Sullivan entered two motions, one that he bo accorded a trial separate from the defendants Burke and Couehiin, and the other that his trial may he severed from that of Woodruff. The form of the indictment, and particularly the character of the evidence relied upon hy the State indicates that several of the defendants can be convicted only upon the successful estab lishment of a conspiracy to murder Dr. Cronin. These defendants, therefore, can, iu no respect. be injured or prejudiced by evidence tending to snow the complicity of others in tho alleged murder, unless it shall be established that there was a conspiracy, and that they and the others were united in that conspiracy. - These considerations are satisfactory to me In denying a. severance of trial so far as any grounds for separate trials are based upon the evidence of facts prior to the time of the murder, and to all matters subsequent thereto, except only the alleged confessions of Woodrnff. I am unable to pee how the other defendants can be tried with him without the greatest embarraasnieut. In his series of come&ilonsho has in ono way and another implicated nearly all tho defendants. His confessions are competent evidence against him. and almost necessarily when he Is sitting In the dock with them would be fatally Injurious to tho others. Th prisoners are entitled to a fair trial. Associated with Woodruff they cannot have It. I am persuaded that authority. Tr acn and simple justice require thps the other defendants should be tried separately irom v ooaruff. The motion, therefore, which I shall sustain will be tho motion of O'Sullivan for a trial sepa rate from that of Woodruff. Necessarily, that will lead to the sustaining of the motion of Wood ruff for a separate trial, although it docs not de serve the consideration tne otner applications do. The other motions stand denied. The decisiou was a surprise, and fora few seconds after its delivery a peculiar quiet pervaded the court-room, and people in stinctively looked around to see who would first break tho silence and what was to fol low. Mr. Forest eventually rose and asked for an exceptiou to the decision which was promptly granted? and the order was formulated. All the defendants then took excep tion to the rnlingof the court refusing them separate trials, and the Judge granted twenty nays in wnicn to iuo oina oi excep tion. The attorneys for the various defendants then expressed themselves as ready to proceed with tho triah Court then adjourned tiU to-morrow. Stole Ills Sweetheart. Durham, N. C, Aug. 29.

PAMELL AXD SALISBURY

Tho Two Great Leaders and Bitter Op ponents nave Formed a Coalition. The Irish University Scheme Tsed with Su cess to AYin the Parnellites Away frcra the Gladstonian Tarty. Instead of Ending the Great London Strike Grows Even More Serious. The Triple Alliance to Fling Down the Gauntlet to Russia by Recognizing Fer dinand Foreign Miscellany. SALISBURY'S SHREWD MOVE. lie Has Split the Oladstone-Parnell Coali tion and "Won Over The Home-Uulers. Ppecial to tho Iul;auaix)Us Journal. London, Aug. 29. Mr. Balfour's promise to bring in a bill for the endowment of an Irish Catholic university, c upled with Mr. PameU's immediate acceptance of tho pro posal, creates almost a panic amongst tbo Liberal leaders, who see that this new de parture of the Tory government means the disruption of their partj-. It is certain that Mr. Parnell has reached some port of an understanding with Lord Salisbury government, and it is evcu slated that the ParneUites will support tho Tory Premier 4 at the next election in return for concessions which will practically amount to home rule, aud a land law which will ?nite effectually throw the landlords in reland overboard. This chance of front on the part of Lord Salisbury is certain to lose nim the support of the ulster members, but ho will probably carry with , him all but a very few of tho Conservative members and tho Unionists, while the addition to his forces of tho solid Parnellite con tingent and of such Liberals as care more for homo rule than for the means of attaining it will undoubtedly increase his voting strength materially, notwithstanding the defection of the Protestant Irishmen and a few anti-Catholio Tories. All of the de tails of tho agreement entered into between Mr. Parnell and those he has of late so bit terly opposed are not, as 3et, understood, and, as a result, thero is no end of speculation. Tho Liberal leaders held a meeting to-day. at which fair W illiam Vernon-Harcourt made a epeecn congratulating the Liberal party upon having successfully proselyted the lory government. Few of his associates, how ever, shared Sir William's cheerfulness, i i .a' j ; : :i ana ineir joy ai nnaiug lueiron u principles npw supported by the Tories is not a little tempered by the certainty that thin support will keep the Tories in power indefinitely and themselves out. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain says the Union ists fully concur with the government in tho matter of the Irish university bill. The Pall Mall Gazette, in an ar ticle entitled, A Kift Within tho Lute," says: The cordial acceptance by tho ParneUites of Mr. Balfour's propoition to endow ah Irish university has induced the Liberals remaining at Westminster to shako the dust off their feet agaiust Mr. Parnell and his allies." Hie Uazetto indorses Mr. Robertson's statement in Parliament, to the effect that a very wine wedgo had been driven, and asks: Vill tho wedge result in a separation which shall leave the Gladstonians in tho lurch! Is it all np with tho Home-rule party!' Continuing, the Uazette Bay 'Tho Parnellites always have been and always will bo a detached party, whose first and sole duty is to Ireland. If the Tories advance much further they will dish the Liberals bv civing home rule to Ireland at two bits instead of at one. This may be unpleasant for tho Liberals, but not for the Home-rulers, lhe Liberals must nave a cry in reserve against tho time when homo rule shall bo mute for party purposes." It is understood that the government ana the Catholic hierarchy were in negotiation for some timo with reference to the uni versity scheme. Mr. Parnell was cognizant of the project, but tho Ulster members of Parliament were completely surprised by tbo announcement of the scheme. The lat ter assert that the government intended to ignore them. O'Brien Explains Matters. Dublin, Aug. 29. United Ireland, in a leading cditoiial, informs . the Radical that tha position of the Irish party regarding the project for the endowment of a Catholic college is the same as when it souelched the scheme for an underhand treaty with Rome, sought to be negotiated by Lord Salisbury and tho Irish Unionist bishops, who now stood ready to sell Ireland to uauour ior a mess oi pottage u they had the country to sell. The Nation alists would welcome any genuine enort to settlo the Irish question made by Parliament aboveboard. and would try to make it genuine. There their position tnds. They do not ask nor do they expect assistance from tho Radicals. They tiht for a great principle, which tho Radicals also indorse. Tho question is one which should be settled by an Irinh Parliament, but, wanting that, tho Nationalists must be content, in tho meantime, to take what reforms an English Parliament oilers. Irish, Protestants Object. Belfast, Aug. 29. At a meeting this evening Mr. Kane, the grand master of the Orangemen, strongly condemned tho new university scheme, and declared that Mr. Balfour's proposals would meet with . determined opposition among Irish Protestants. STRIKE SITUATION NO BETTER. If Anything, It Has Grown 3Iore Serious ILmborers Remain Firm. Epectal to the In(Uanaiolls Jourutl London, Aug. 29. There are no fresh developments in tho strike which are at all of a hopeful nature. Over twenty thousand tailors in London aro momentarily expecting tho word from their leaders to drop their work, and when they go out they will deprive nearly twice that number of sewing women and other assistants of their chances fora livelihood. Many of them have already joined tho strikers. Several failures in the shipping trade are already reported as a result of tho dock strikes, and others aro expected. The wharfingers submitted to tho dock companies ami tho strikers a t plan for settlement of the questions at issue, which included a proposal to make the American clauHes in bills of lading inoperative, so far as concerned wharfingers and granary keepers. The representatives of the companies declined to accept this solution of the difficulty and arepreparing a manifesto, in which they will declare that they will only pay 5 pence an hour. A mass-meeting of the great army of the unemployed' was held to-day. About 4,M) of the strikers were in attendance. John Burns addressed them, predicting that their demands would be acceded to to-day. II said all the indications pointed to a victory for the men if they were linn and unit tit. Tho wharfingers have o tiered to employ tho dock men on independent docks, but the proposition has not' been accepted The strike is seriously affecting tho northern coal trade. The Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company's workmen at Greenwich, havo struck. The crows of three American cattle-ships have joined thd strikers. Mr. Burns, in an interview,, says tho dock men will firmly adhere to the position they havo taken and will not reduce their demands. The 65,000 Welsh miners who have made a demand for a 10 per cent, increase in their wages, have decided to compromise and will accept the 5 per cent, advance offered by their employers. The dock companies have ibtuied a manifesto in which they off er the regular dock
