situation or belittle their power. It may be said that thero was power enough In tbo leaders to lix Bach dates as they might deem expedi ent Tor the holding of the convention. In & certain measure this is true, bnt when that power was conferred npon them it was with certain reservation; the reservation, -first, of good faith. Has this been dona in good faith? It was intended that ordinary usaues should he followed. Itwas intended that all Democrats should have no opportunity to register their voices. It was intended to cat off thousands of men without regard to right, in order to serve a purpose. It may be that no purpose exists. But there ia one thins which we need not be politicians to understand. Tnat is. that no great party can afford to place its members in such a strait that loyalty to party and self-respect cannot exist." Mr. Coudert was interrupted by frequent applause and laughter. Then it was noticeable that nearly all the applause came from the front section of the hall, containing about one half theandience. Those who applauded did so enthusiastically, but fully one-half tbe audience, mainly those in the rear seat or those standing in the aisles, maintained the attitude of spectators who listened. Some one shouted, Three cheers for Grover Cleveland." Thero was a good response, followed by scattering hisses. The experiment was not tried again. At theconclusion of Mr. Condert's speech a list of vice-presidents and secretaries, containing a selection of about three hundred rimes from those attached to the call for i'ae meeting, was read. THE RESOLUTIONS. Ex-United States District Attorney Walker then ofiered the following resolutions, which were warmly applauded. When Chairman Coudert called for the yeas and nays, the resolutions were adopted with practical unanimity, only a few scattering nays, lets than a dozen in all, being heard when the chairman called for them. The resolutions were: Resolved, That this assembly of Democrats of the city of New York now makes Its reiotful protest and appeal sralnst the uncalled-for and ill-advised action of the State committee In designating so early a date as the 221 of February for the meeting of tbe State committee a convention which is to elect delegates to the national eonrentlon appointed to be be Id at Cbloa eo on June 21, 1802. Kesolved, That tbe right of the voters of a political part j to assemble at the call of the leaders, who are its representatives and servants, to carry out Its will in regard to tbe details of party managements, should not be curtailed in time, place or circumstance in such a war as to satui vs, viuvaiini9 mm ,vukiiuu v '4 cosiu s-A vi ryi nlar party feelinj? upon the question iu hand, that such expression should be made In party assemblies, upon subjects to be presently decided, at as near a time to tbat wherein decision Is reached as can reasonably and conveniently be appointed. Delegates should bo fresh from tbe people. Ko body of men elected to expiess tbe wiil of the voters assembled In party convention should be, for an treasonable time, custodians of tbe voters rijrhts. or bold tbelr delofated poweis for a period Ion per than is absoutely necessary for tbe purpose. The people are Justified In resenting any action on tbe part of tbe party leaders, whereby their voices shall be suppressed or perverted. Kesolved, That tbe history of contests npon national issues in tbo btate of New York since 1856 shows tbat too much prudence cannot be exercised, nor too much enthusiasm or labor possible in the effort to carry the State of New York for tbe Democratio party. Tne record of success Is confined to three out of tbe nine most recent canvasses. We have met and every time must meet an arrogant and unscrupulous adversary. The area of contest Is our whola Imperial doiuain. In such a stri. ; success does not go to numbers only. It rests upon unity and fidelity in every county to tbe interests and principles of the voters as declared In party platforms which have been tbe basis of a successful contest, and It Is absolutely necessary In every campaign that no Just grievances of the people, from tbe conduct of party managers, should produce lukewarmnsss or hesitation anywhere in the great army of Democratio voters. Tbcy are a body of volunteers, and not hired soldiers, and must be taken into the confidence of their leaders in tbe early stages of tho tight. Leadership need not and should not Involve duress. Kesolved. Tbat the Btate committee holds Its functions and political powers In trust for the welfare of the party. lis action in calling tho convention for tbe -2d of Fehruary. and thereby fore tug tbe holding ot primaries on brief notice, is contrary to party usazo and Irregular. It denies to tbe Democratic electors of this State a full, fair and effective exercise of their rignt to be represented in cauousses, primaries and district and btate conventions. Their action Is a grave violation of tbe iolitical duties or tbe committee, which cannot but expose the party to needless danger in the election next November. Kesolved, That a copy of theso resolutions, over the hands of the president of this meeting, be sent to the several members of tbe Btate committee, and that a committee of fifty, with power to add to its number, be appointed by tbe chairman of this meeting to communicate with tbe members of the le:nocra-tio tate committee and respectfully protest against Us action In deMxnating the date already fixed for the State convention, and tbat It be urged to reconsider such action and revoke tbe call; and It tbat is not done, that tbe committee hereby created exercise sucn further power and take such other action as may secure a projer representation of the people of tbe Btate in the national convention of the party, and as may seem proper and in accordance with tbe spirit of those resolutions. A telegram was received from W. Kay an, of the Democratio State committee of Richmond. Va,, and others. A telegram of commendation was received from the State of Alabama, which was as follows: The Montgomery Cleveland Democratio Club, five hundred members, express to tbe mass-meeting at Cooper Cnlon Its cordial indorsement of the meeting's object, and protest against the action of the New York Btate committee as unjust, unfair and as seriously Imperilling the party's Interests throughout the Union. WILD FOR CI.KVELAXD. The next speaker was John G. Milbnrn, of Erie county. lie declared for sending a delegation to Chicago to come right from the heart of the people l"and for Grover Cleveland," shouted a voice, amid chocrs, strong for gennlne tariil reform, for a sound currency, an administration conducted oa business principles, and for the nomination of a nigh-minded Democrat, who is such in deeds and not in words alone. It was during this speech that the latent enthusiasm for Cirover Cleveland was brought out. Yeils went ud as from one throat, and cheers upon cheers. Hats were waved and umbrellas nourished wildly. U rover Cleveland." went up the cry. "What's tbe matter with Grover!" 'He'a all right," came the response. Mr. William A. lleach, of Syracuse, next spoke, and referred to the calling of a winter convention as a "gross and damnable outrage." Mr. K. Elery Anderson, ono of the leaders in the meetiug of protest, set forth that Mr. Cleveland stood emphatically for tariff reform ana against free coinage of silver, while Mr. Hill practically favored silver legislation. "1 do not Intend," said Mr. Anderson, "to say anything as to the merits of tho positions taken by these two distinguished citizens of ourState to the issues above referred to. 1 only refer to them to say that they present questions of great gravity, questions of great moment, questions which involve almost every commercial and industrial interest in the land. I only refer to them to say that if ever there was an occasion when it was right, and proper, and just tbat the people who were to be affected by the result of these issues should have full opportunity to deliberate, discuss and decide, of their own free will, which of the two men should be their standard-bearer, that occasion was presented by the gravity of these issues and the relations held thereto by these two candidates. It was under theso circumstances that a committee of thirty-four gentlemen met together on the 20th of Jaunary, at the Hottinam House, in the city of New York, for the purpose of deterniiuititf the time at which the State convention should -be held. Jn the face of a protest of unrivaled force and clearness of expression contained in the leading Democratio organ of this city, with the knowledge of all the facts above referred to relating to the issues and the candidates, with the knowledge that there was. as a matter of fact, a wide divergence of opinion among tbe people as to these candidates, tho committee, without deliberate consideration and alter a session not exceeding fort miuutes in duration, issued their call for the 22d of February next. Jt Oa certainly a departure from Usage and from precedent. No good reason has beeu assigned by an memer of the committee or any of its defenders for this extraordinary action, and no reason can be assigned for it except that it was intended to advance the fortunes and the ambitions of David Ii. Hill." Kx-Secretary of the Treasury Chatt. S. Fairchild. said: "We who have been active in tliis movement and who will contiune to be active therein until tbe eud thereof, have only done our simple dutv towards a party and a cause we love. We believe both our party and principles are in peril. Ye believe tbat great numbers of Demo

crats, both instate and Nation, feel this peril and. therefore, that we would be cravena nnd cowards did wo not do oar utmost to givo an outlet to the deep feeling whhh we know to exist and which has beru repressed by every device known to official power and party machinery. Just so firm as has been and as will be my devotion to Democracy, just so firmly will I stand by this movement to check the usurpers, who, while wearing tho labels, seek to blind all true Democrats in chains and thus prevent them from defending the principles of the Democracy." Tbo meeting closed with rattling cheers for Grover Cleveland. GAKZA'S FILIBUSTERS. Tiro Awaitinir Trial at San Antonio, Tex. A Mexican Found Hanging to ft Tree. Laredo, Tex., Feb. 11.

I)E COBAIN TO BE EXPELLED

Ualfour Takes the First Steps Against a Disgraced Member of Parliament. Irishmen Discussed in Both the Commons and Bouse of Lords Spurgeon's Remains Inter-red-Miss Mitchell Finally Married. TOriCS OF THE COJI3IONS. Edward De Cob sin to Be Expelled Irish Treason-Felony Frisoners. London. Feb. 11. In accordance with the notice given upon the opening of tbe session. Mr. Balfour, government leader in the House of Commons, moved tbat Mr. Edward De Cobain. member for East Belfast, who is and has been for many months past a fugitive from justice, in consequence of the issuing of a warrant for his arrest on a grossly immoral charge, be notified to attend tho session of the House on Tuesday, tho 23d inst. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Liberal, seconded the motion, and it was adopted by tbe House in silence. This is a move preparatory to the formal expulsion of tho offending member, for there Is every reason to believe tbat Mr. De Cobain will not return to England to face the grave charges hanging over him. . TheKight Hon. Henry Chaplin, president of the Board of Agriculture and member of the Cabinet, stated that tbe foot and mouth disease of cattle bad been traced from Korfolkshire to various places in London. The disease originated in England, be added, from cattle imported from Denmark. Tbe dangerof the disease spreading was extreme, and the most stringent measures had to bo adopted to stamp it out. Mr. Chaplin further said that the Danish government bad failed to discover the existence of the disease in Denmark, but. nevertheless, it was known to exist in Germany, and it was believed to have reached Denmark by way of tfcbleswigHolstoin. Mr. Chaplin concluded by stating that the importation of live cattle from England was suspended from every European country except Norway, Sweden, Spain and Portugal. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the leader of the Liberal Unionists, in resuming the debate on the address in reply to the Queen's speech, twitted the opposition with still not knowing what home-rule scheme Mr. Gladstone intended to submit. He twitud them. also, concerning their wavering policy in regard to tho evacuation of Egypt. The Kt. Hon. John Morley. member for Newcastle-on-Tyne, Mr. Gladstone's lieutenant, replied that the Liberals hud not asked for tho instant evacuation of Egypt, but they were opposed to Lord Salisbury acting as if Englaud bad rights beyond those from mandatory powers. Regarding the Irish local government bill Mr. Morley said the Liberals knew that whatever Mr. Balfour's, proposals were they were only a stepping stone to a larger and safer measure. The time would soon come to end the unseemly conduct of certain members calling themselves Liberals, wliiio denouncing Liberal principles. Cheers. Mr. John E. Redmond, in proposing an amendment for the release of treason felony prisoners, repudiated any sympathy with dynamiters. He vindicated tbe innocence of Daly and Egan. If there was a shadow of a doubt in their cases it demanded that another inquiry be made. He had seen Egan, who declared that life in Portland prison was killing him. Daly. Mr. Redmond said, had been poisoned by aroident three times. Mr. Matthews, the Home Secretary, held that these prisoners were fairly treated: that they were dynamite, not political couvict, and that I their sentences ought to run the usual course. Mr. Matthews said that tho government bad proof that Daly had asked for and received money and bombs from New York. He declined to produce this proof. Daly's suggestion that he had been the victim of a police plot was unfoundnd. Egan'a offense, the Home Secretary said, was a lesser ono. The timo might) come when it would be possible to reconsider his ct.se. In the House of Lords to-day (be Marquis of Londonderry asked whether it was true that Messrs. Johu Dillon. William O'Brien and V. Timothy Healy, all members of the House of Commons, had, at their own request, been accorded police protection in Ireland. Earl Cadogan. Lord Privy Seal, replied that police protection had been accorded to the gentlemen named, but further than that he declined to say anything. The Marquis of Londonderry reminded the honse that "these persona only recently went about posing as idols of the Irish people. They bad denounced the executive power in the most violent language for having them shadowed, but now they were extremely glad to avail themselves of shadowing for their protection. The Marquis f nrther said tbat protectiou hud been conceded to them because two raging factions existed in Irelaud who were breaking each other's heads and who were ready to shed each other's blood. It was to tbe interest of the Unionists to let the English people understand the condition of the Irish partien iu order that they might realizo how absurd and dangerous it would bo to grant the Irish any measure of home rule that would. place the loyal minority at tho tender mercies of such men. If Earl Cadogan was unable to give a satisfactory explanation in reply to the question asked him ho theMarquisof Londonderry would raise the whl question of protection in a separate motion. Lord Salisbury said tbat the government could not be expected to divulge information it had received in rontidence. The Marquis of Londonderry intimated that he would make a formal motion. REV. SPURGEON'S FUNERAL. The Great Treacher's Remains Interred After Services at the Tabernacle. London, Feb. 11. The last memorial services over the remains of the Rev. Mr. Spnrgeon were held last night. The Metropolitan Tabernacle was crowded, and the cervices, which were not concluded until after midnight, were very solemn and impressive. This morning a majority of tbe shops in the vicinity of tbeTabarnaclo were closed, as a mark of respect to the dead minister, and the buildings very generally bore mourning emblems. The fureral forvices this morning opened at 11 o'clock. The members of Mr. Spurgeon's family, at present in London, tho Mayor of Croydon, several members of the House of Commons, Baroness Burdett-Coutts, aud deputations from sixty religions bodies were among those present. Alter the singing of the last hymn that Mr. Hpurgeou had announced before he was taken sick, "The Sands of Time are Sinking." the Rev. Mr. Pierson. the American minister who tilled Mr. Spurgeon's pulpit during tbe latter illnes. made a most eloquent address. He dwelt at length upon Mr. Spurgeon's powerful intluenoe. "A cedar of Lebanon has fallen." he stid, "and the crash of its tlownfall has shocked the whole land. No such vast vacancy has been felt in tho church in a century." Mr. Pierson concluded his remarks by drawing parallels between the work done ty Mr. Snnrgeon and that performed by John Wesley. After the olleringof prayers and the singing of hymns, Mr. Pierson pronounced the benediction. The olive-wood cottin containing the remains was then taken irom the catafalque, on which it had rested since Monday night, and conveyed to tbe hearse in waiting at the main entrance of the tabernacle. As it was borne down the aisle the entire congregation arose and joiued iu singing the hyuin, "There is no Night in Homeland." After the mourners bad entered the carnages the funeral procession started for Norwood Cemetery.whero the remains were interred. There were an enormous number of coaches in the procession, and tbe entire route from the tabernacle to the cemetery was lined by an immense con course of people. Three mounted policefen preceded the hearse. The sides of the bearoe bore the text: "I have fought a good tight: I have finished my course; 1 have kept the faith." As the cortege moved slowly along tho spectators removed there bats and bowed their heads, and the bells of St. Mary's and Sr. Mark's churches tolled solemnly. The Hags displayed along tbe route followed by the procession were all

nt half-mast. Places of business between I Kensington and Clapham were closed, aud ' many of the houses had their blinds drawn. ! The children from the Sfockwell Orphan- ! no occupied a raised platform that had been erected for their nse at a point where i

a view or tne procession couia be Had. The platform was heavily draped with black crepe and other mourning emblems. There was an immense crowd in Norwood Cemetery awaiting the arrival of the funeral procession. When tho hearse entered tho cemetery all bared their heads. The co Rin was taken from tbe hearse and borne reverently to the vault, in which it was deposited. This vault will be surmounted by a bronze statue of Mr. Spnrgeon. and upon it will be placed ban reliefs symbolic of the dead minister's benevolent works. The Rev. Archibald C. Brown, pastor of the East London Tabernacle, delivered the funeral oration at the cemetery. Rev. Mr, Pierson then offered prayer, the language of which was touchingly eloquent. The Right Rev. Randall Thomas Davidson, "BUhop of Rochester, then prononuced the benediction. .'After the religious ceremonies bad been concluded the people present formed in line and slowly tiled before the open vault and took their last look upon the coffin of the man whono loss is mourned by thousands of people of London.

The striking coal porters declare that they will not yield until their demands are conceded. To show the disadvantages under which tbo delivery of coal is accomplished, owing to the strike, it may be said that tbo owners of many coal depots could be seen to-day driving tbeirewn wagons. A few of thewagons were driven by men not be-'long-lng to ibe'eoal porters' nnion. Strikers would follow these wagons for the purpose of either inducing or forcing the drivers to leave them, but the police were vigilant and all such attempts were frustrated. Nearly every coal depot on the river Thames is at a standstill. Thirty barges nr waiting to be unloaded at Black Friars. The strike was entirely unexpected by the men. who were apprised of the action taken by the leaders by delegates, who were dispatched to tbe depots with orders for the men to quit work. So suddenly was .the strike decided upon that the men employed in the depots did not have time 1 to procure a supply of coal against tbe famine with which London is now threatened. The retail dealers have already advanced the price of the commodity, and this will cause much suiferiug among the poor, who are compelled to buy their coal in small quantities. If the strike continues it will cause widespread distress, for factories and places of that description will be compelled to close down because of a lack of fuel, and many men will thus be thrown put of employment .GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

At Pelotas. in the Stato of Rio Grande do Sul. tbe feeling between the populace and the government troops is very bitter and it is feared that a conflict may occur at any moment. The government land telegraphs between Pelotas in the (state of Rio Grande do hul and Porto Alegre, the capital of the State, have beeu cut. Unemployed Laborers at Vienna. London, Feb. 12. The Vienna correspondent of the Graphic sends a dispatch to his paper about the sutlering that exists among tho laboring classes in tbat city, lie says: "The destitution that prevails here at present is greater than it has been in many years. Thousands of respectable persons are idle and starving through the operation of tho American tariff. A large percentage of the expert mechanics here are glad to emigrate, but are deterred from doing so by conscription. Tbe misery of the poor people in this city is enhanced by nn intlux from tho provinces of a large number of persons who are out of employment and are tlocking to Vienna in the hope of obtaining work. The total number of unemployed persons in this city is estimated at seventy thousand. It is hoped, however, that the extension of the city limits will give au imfotus to building operations and tbat pubic works which the government is inaugurating will also improve the present deplorable state i of aflairs. , Tewfik's Death Hastened by Morphine. . London. Feb. ll.-Tbe British Medical Journal, in its current issue, says: "We have received a series of manuscripts and printed documents bearing upon tbo last illness of the late Khedive of Egypt To publish them, or even an analysis of them, would renew tbe most painful impressions. It is impossible, in the light of all the facts, not to arrive at the conclusion that Tewtik's death was hastened by the untimely administration of morphine. Tho whole story is an illustration of the lamentable mtlucnceof the harem in bringing about the selection of native physicians and their control of access to the rtatieut. the skill and experienro of Europen physiciane being thereby set at naught" The Atlsntle Higher than the Faclflc. Panama, Feb. 11. When it was first proposed to open the Panama canal the scheme was strongly opposed on the ground that

When New York was reached he went to the dinv pens ot Castle Garden along with . the remainder of the Jewish exiles. Pretty soon the commissioners came down and the Baron begged of one of them a little assistance. Assistance was brusquely refused, and he was thrown aside by the very men who were handling his money.

In spite of the general horror inspired by th e burning of the Hotel Royal certain journals have not hesitated, in the interests of an uncleanly sensationalism, to treat certain episodes of the tiro in a highly objectionable way. In a metropolitan city of tbe size of New York, into which strangers are pouring day and night from all parts of tho earth, it is naturally impossible, even in the most conservative hotels, to maintain an entirely ellective scrutiny upon new arrivals or verify all signatures on the pages of the hotel register. In some hotols. doubtless, this scrutiny is stricter than In others. But the innuendoes of the journals in question have gone tbe length of predicating a state of things of the management of tbe Hotel Royal tbat does great iujusice, at any rate, to many of its guests. In spite of the fact that families of the highest respectability nave mude their home in this hotel for years, it is suggested to the public that its female guests belonged exclusively to the demi mondo class. This may make interesting reading and add to circulation in certain directions, but such success comes dear, since it is at the expense of the rights and feelinffsof many worthy people who areinsulted without cause and justilication.

PENNSYLVANIA. BT THE MAN FOIt THE PLACE. Reasons Why Republicans Should Rally Around President Harrison. Boston JonrnaL One thing ought to bo generally understood, and it cannot bo too early said or too vigorously insisted on. This is that tho choice of the Republican party Jies between Mr. Hlaine and President Harrison. WitU Mr. Blaine oat of tbolield by his own voluntary act, tbe concentration of Republican sentiment npon Mr. Harrison will be clear and unmistakable, Tbe notion that only Mr. Blaine could command success is an Id vention of the enemy, not to be entertained for a moment by genuine Republicans. Tho Republican party could elect any one ot halfadoxen leaders. Hot President Harrison, under the present circumstances, is by all odds the strongest leader who could be selected. There should be no frittering away of strength uuon side-show candidates or the "favorite 6on" business. There should be ft rallying of Heonb lican forces behind President Harrison. He has given us an administration which bas been clean, strong, consistent, high-minded and creditable to the country. He J) as developed varied and ample resonrces of statesmanship to meet - trying emergencies. Where ho has made enemies within the pirty it has usually been because he refused to be controlled for selfish aud personal interests. He has been ra aligned and misrepresented. - as is the common lot of Presidents, but bis Administration stands without ft stain. Ho has been wisely bnt cot timidly conservative, and his renomination and re-election would ba a guarantee ot the stability of business and political interests. Against anch a candidate as is likely to bo nominated at Chicapo. by a convention controlled by the innneuces now dominant in tho Democratic party, he would oommand thesunport of genuinely independent voters more than any other candidate, and would poll the full party strength. m m - Always Did Hate tbe Soldiers, 2?ew York Press. A Democratic contemporary of tho nill stripe declares that this is "not a year for Bension legislation."
