A Resolntica to Eriug Suit Agiisst tiie Unioa Pacific Directors. A Bi( Appropriation Asked for EdacaMoa ia AlMk Tb President Appeals to tbv Poblte to Give Ilm Tim to Attend to Business General Washington Notes Special to the 8entieL W-his;to:, Jone 14. Congressman Henley, cf Colorado, will ask the House, tomorrow, for unanimous consent to present a resolution directing tne Attorney General to bring suit against Charles Francis Adams, Jr- and his co-directors of the Union Pacific Railroad fcr a -violation of the Statutes of the United States in a number of particulars. Special complaint will be made against the act cf the Union Pacific Company endorsing the Oregon Snort Line bonds whereby the Union Pacific Treasury has lost annually $90.000. The Other acts of issuing illegal dividends without the consent of Congress are barred from prosecution by the statute Cf limitations. Mr. Heniey said to a Sentinel correspondent to-night: "If the Union Pacific Railroad people are honest in their dealings with the Government why do they not propose to turn over as part collateral to the Government this $0,000,000 in land grant funds and the proceeds of future sales of lands, which ought to be some 1 13,000, OCO more. Why do they send Mr. Adams and their hired attorney hither to testify to the possession on the part of the Union Pacific of $30,000,000 of bonds and stocks, when they know that only part of sane is valuable? Rome $12,000,000 is hypothecated to secure collateral bonds in violation of law. I assert that these men seek an extension only for further opportunity to defrand the Government and when the Government finally comes into possession of the Union Pacific road it will have been stripped of its assets and the Government have but a second lien on the road bed and rails from Omaha to Ogden, preceded by a first mortgage of neirly $40,000,000." EDUCATION IN ALASKA. Large Appropriation Wanted fortbe Benefit of a Few. Special to the Sentinel. Wafhisgtox, June 14. The Bureau of Education has asked Congress for an appropriation of $50,000 for the purpose of advancing the cause of education in Alaska. A curious argument in favor of this appropriatiaa is given In a copy of a report on education in Alaska by Sheldon Jackson, the general agent of the Educational Bureau in that Territory. This report shows that at Sitka, Alaska, there are 137 children that should be in attendance at the Training School, while only fifty-nine pupils were in school at the close of 1SS5. It is proposed that Congress shall make the attendance of pupils obligatory, because in no other way can the best results of the appropriations be secured. Tte General Agent of Education thus acknowledges that the system as now carried on is a failure. An appropriation of $50,000 is locked for in order that a few teachers may continue to improve the condition of the poor, degraded creatures. It is gathered frcm the report that the miners offer from a dozen to ICO blankets for the pick sad choice of the female pupils for improper purpose. BRIEF SPECIALS. The ew Albany Muddle Condemned. Special to the Sentinel. WAgHisGTox, June 14. The contest the Democrats have brought upon themselves in the New Albany District by calling two Congressional Conventions, is severely condemned here by the party in general, who see no reason why another Democratic District should he placed in jeopardy simply to satisfy the whims of a few. Jodge Ilolman Sot Coming Home, epecial to the Sentinel. Wa !hi5gtoj, June 14. Judge Ilolman will not go ta Greensfeurg to attend the CongresonaJ Convention en Wednesday. He doubtless would go but the Legislative Executive and Judicial Appropriation bill is by no means completed. He has had the bill in cfcarge since it has been under consideration, ansl to get away now is he thinks next to an im possibility. The Kidd-Steele Contest. Special to the Sentinel. Vf HI5GT05, June 14. The frequent postponements of the Kidd-Steele election contest ie not encouraging to Major K dd. It practicdly means he will not get the seat. SENATOR KENNA. lie Gives Cleveland a Boom for a Second Term. YtimiszTos, June 14. The Democratic Corgre?sional Campaign Committee has rented a Leute and will soon commence business. The coming Congressional campaign always suggests the Presidential campaign of twj jeers hence Senator Kenna Is not prepared to sty anything demte on this subject so far in advance, but looking around him he is able to hazard the remark that "beyond doubt Elaine is bracing hiriself up for another contest with Cleveland." Who will or who will not te the Democratic candidate for President next time he could not say, and it is a subject upon which he is naturally loth to epcula?e. 'If Cleveland should be the candidate again," said the Senator, "he will be much Etrocge than he was in 1834. He i3 stronger now with both politicians and people than he was then, and he is growing stronger every day. The people had to take him on trust Jn 184. but before his present term will have expired he will have made a record that will leave nothing to doubt Before that time comes those who have been inclined to grumble aboat the slowness of the jiccersion wil better understand the diUi-

culties which have beset the President's path, and the wisdom of his course. "So far as the personnel of the Government is concerned, before the last year of his Presidential term is reached it is probable there will be little left for the most unredeemed spoil men to covet When considering the unexceptionable character of all the appointments made the number of them is quite respectable if not astonishing. "It is impossible to say whether Mr. Cleveland intends to be a candidate again. It is natural for a man to look for a second term, but not a siegle act of his seems to be done with any regard for the future. Nose of Mr. Cleveland's acts come of any calculation as to the possible bearing on a future election, or upon anything but what he himself believes to be the best interests of the country." THE GOVERNMENT CENTENNIAL.

Mr. Morrison, ia an interview with a reporter of the Associ ated Tress to-day, said he would surely move to consider the TariiT bill on Thursday. He said very candidly he could not speak posi tively as to the chances of success it a'.l depended on the votes of the New York Democratic members, and had from the first. The Committee of Ways and Means was entirely harmonious and could have brought in or called up a bill at any time sinca i ebruary, but be had deemed it unsafe to do so know ing that he could not succeed without New York. The fact that the bill was favored by the administration had led him to expect nearly a unanimous vote of its friends in that State but he had hnally determined to call up the bill without knowing more on the subject than he did at lim except that as he was encouraged by the late correspondence between the President and Secretary Manning. If the motion is defeated, he said, it will be by the votes of the Democratic members from New York, who he might reasonably expect them to be with the ad ministration. An Appeal from the President. Washington, June 14. The following is furnished to the Associated Press, with a request for publication: EXECTTIVK SfAKSIOV, i Washington, D, C, June 14, 1S86. Notwithstanding the announcement heretofore made ty the fresident reserving Monday in each week for the transaction of such public business uabsomtely requires freedom from interruption, he finds that through ignorance of the rales adopted or from other causes, the time ha thus seeks to reserve is to a great extent engrossed by tho? whose calls are of a personal and social nature, r by the presentation of business which might easily te postponed to anetner day. At 1:30 Monday, and at the same hour on Wed nctday and Friday of each week, the President win meet ail who ' desire to pay tneir respects, lie earnestly rennest that, with the exception above t peciiled. the remainder of Monday and the afternoons of the other days in the week may be allowed him by the puhllc, not for his pleasure, but lor the performance of official duty and fie transaction of the puti if. business.

A MAD KING'S SUICIDE.

Ludwig of Bavaria Drowns Himself and His Physician. The People Excited and Sorrowful Details of the Tragic Event Comments of the English Press on Gladstone's Manifesto Other Foreign News. Mcnkh, June 14. Ludwig, who was re cently deposed from the Bavarian throne, committed suicide at C o'clock yesterday evening. He had gone out for a promenade in the Park of the Berg Cast'e, accompanied by Dr. Gudden, his physician. The King tuddenly threw himself into Starnberg Lake and was drowned. The physician jumped into the water to rescue the King and was also drowned. The watch worn by King Ludwig, and which was on his person when his corpse was recovered from the Isle, had stopped at 6:54 o'clock last evening. Drs. Mueller and Hubert, the King's steward, had the bodies of Ludwig and Dr. Gudden conveyed to the Berg Castle and placed on beds. 1 though there was neither any perceptible respiration nor pulse movement in either body, Dr. Mueller and his assistants of the ambulance corps attempted to restore animation in both, and only ceased their efforts at resuscitation at midnight, when life was pronounced extinct in both cases. King Ludwig's suicide 'has cast a deep gloom over Munich. Now it is seen plainly that the people were deeply attached to the King, and evidences are everywhere manifestof the popular sorrow caused by his tragic death. The police have issued the following bulletin: "The King quietly submitted to the advice of the Medical Commission, and left for Eerg Castle. Yesterday evening his Majesty went out for a walk in the park in company with Dr. Gudden. Their prolonged absence caused anxiety at the castle. The park and the shores of Lake Starnberg were searched. The bodies of the King and Dr. Guddea were found in the water. Both showed slight signs of animation. Efforts to restore life, however, w&re unavailing. At 10 o'clock this morning the Generals of the Bavarian Army met and took the oath of al legiance to King Ludwig's brother Otto, who at once assumed the title of King Otto the First. He is three years younger than Ludwig was, having been bora April 27, 1818. Otto, however, will be simply nominally King, as he is mentally incapable of Government, and Prince Luitpold, his uncle, will remain Regent. The Generals of the army have taken the oath of allegi ance to Prince Luitpold as Regent. The Bav arian troops took oaths similar to those sworn by the Generals. There are evidences that a violent struggle occurred in the lake between the King and Dr. Gudden in the endeavor of the latter to rescue his patient. Many footprints can be seen in the Boil at the bottom of the lake near where the bodies were found, and there are several bruises on Dr. Gudden's body, which were probably made by the King's finger nails. These signs show beyond doubt that a struggle took, place. The King, before plunging into the lake, divested himself of his two coats, which were found on the bank, and led to the discovery of the bodies. According to the Constitution, Prince Otto, although deranged, becomes Klag. Prince Luitpold remains liegen t, and will administer the affairs cf the Government. The church bells have been sending forth mu Hied peals throughout the day. Excited and sorrowing crowds of people throng the streets, despite the heavy rain that has been falling. Thousands of citizens surrounded the Palace awaiting the issue of proclamations in regard to the succession to the throne. Herren Crailsheim Fausetle and Von Riedle, Ministers of State, have gone to Berg Castle to prepare official minutes recoidiEg the circumstances in connection with the Kicg's death and the discovery of his body. The corpse of the monarch will shortly be brought to Munich and laid in state in the old castle chapel. The churches of the city have been crowded all day. The town is draped in mourning. The troops were held within the barracks to-day. Ordered the Deputation Flogged. Munich, June 14. The medical commission which examined the late 'King Ludwig report that he had ordered the members of the ministerial deputation headed by Count Holstein, who called upon him to procure his consent to a regency to be flogged until they bled and then their eyes extracted. Before his death the belief was spreading among the common people of Bavaria that the King's deposition was illegal. The people did not believe he was insane. Precautions had been taken to prevent the populace from rising to restore the King. A Post M ort em To -Morrow. Mcsit h, June 14. The remains of Ludwig have arrived here, and have been deposited in the Marter Kapelle. Professor Ruedinger will hold a post mortem examination tomorrow. The funeral will probably take place on Saturday. The Allgemene Zeitung says it is impossible, without a violation of the respect due the dead King, to publish tbe particulars of his malady. It appei'to the I'ltra-Montane press to reserve judgment. Uis Last Day. MiKicii, June 14. Ludwig promenaded Sunday morning, and quietly conversed with his attendant on a bench in Deer Park, near ft point of tbe lake where a placard is posted forbidding persons to land. Ludwig and Dr. Gudden dined together in the evening. The King wss composed in demeanor. He ate rapidly, finishing tbe meal in half an hour. Afterward the King and the physician left the castle together. The attendants weie ordered to remain in the castle. At 11 o'clock last night the two bodies were found tin the lake fifty paces from the shore, in five eet of water, near the bench upon which the two sat in the morning. Dr. Gudden must have been forced beneath the water during the struggle, as the King's foot marks were traced further than the doctors. The umtri Has of both and the King's coat and over

coat, which had evidently been torn from his body, were lying on the bank of the lake. The dead King's finger-nails exactly fit thescratches on Dr. Gudden's face.

in a sworn deposition, dated June ö, the fonr physicians who examined Ludwig unanimously declared that Lndwig was gravely deranged, his affection taking the form known as lunacy experts as paranoia, which is incursble: that further decay was certain; that the malady absolutely deprived the King of free volition and that it would prevent his governing for the remainder of his life. This depostion was signed by Drs. Gudden, Hagen, Grashey and Hilbach. The Regent's Proclamation. Mvxich, June 14.-A proclamation has been issued: "In the name of the King, the Royal House and its people who, through good and evil fortune, have remained faith ful." The proclamation says: This house has sustained a severe stroke of destiny. By t,od's inscrutable decree King Lndwig has departed this life, bj bis decease, which has plunged Bavaria into grevious sorrow, tbe Kingdom has passed, in pursuance of tbe Constitution, to our beloved nephew. Otto. An he, by a longstanding malady, la prevented from governing hlrxiftlf, we, the nearest agnate, will administer the Government in behalf f of otto. We summon Kava.ians, willingly and dutifully, to acknowledge Otto as the rightful sovereign and to render to him and to us as regent inviolable layalty and unswearvlng obedience. We command all officials to discharge their functions a heretofore until tbey receive more precise orders. The proclamation is signed "Luitpold" and is countersigned by Baron Von Lutz, the President of the Council, and by the rest of the Cabinet ministers. An hour before his death. Dr. Gudden sent the following telegram to Baron Von Lutz: "Doctors Hägen and Hubech have been summoned for Tuesday at 9 a. m. to give an opinion respecting 1'nnce otto, they will probably be able to give their decision on Tnesday evening. Here all is going wonderiuiiy well." GLADSTONE'S MANIFESTO. The Parties Criticised According to Their Political Leanings. London, June 14. The Tost, In comment ing on Mr. Gladstone's manifesto to his con stituency, says the document bristles with transparent sophisms, and is based through out on obvious fallacies. The Chronicle aays: "The address is disappointing. It is needless to say that it is able and ingenious, but it is by no means up to the high stand ard of Mr. Gladstone's former manifestos." The Times pronounces Mr. Gladstone's man ifesto argumentative and historically weak. "It does not offer," eays the Times, "a single argument that coercion is the only alternative policy to Home Rule for Ireland. Mr. Chamberlain gave one alternative other than coercion, and Mr. John Morley sug gested a fourth by admitting that it was possible to govern Ireland as a Crown colo ny. When the worst comes to the worst, it is alwavs oren to Englishmen to sav thev prefer separation, pure and simple, to yielo- : .v. :.i,t. ,1 1 u - it. ing iv iuc jukuiciauic uciuauua 01 iue iiuuie Rule faction. It must be nfade clear inai mere is another alternative, name ly. to give Ireland local Control of her local affairs on the same scale as given to England and Scotland, and on principles as applicable to these countries as to Ire land." The Guardian says that of Gladstone. Sal isbury and Chamberlain, Mr. Gladstone alone sees the desperate circumstances in which the country is placed by the mistaken policy on the Irish question, and that he alone perceives how these circumstances can be best dealt with. "We are confident," adds the Guardian, "that the country will endorse the Premier's diagnosis and proposed remedy, lor they are based on rigorous com mon sense." The Conservative provincial papers bit terly criticise Air. 01 ad stone s manifesto. Tbe Irish papers do not make their com merits on the manifestO-Of their issues, but criticise it, as a matter of course, according to their party leanings. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. An Irish Presbyterian Minister on the ltel fast Riots. Belfast, June 14. Iisv. Hugh Hanna, D. D., the Presbyterian minister of St. Enoch's Chnrcb, this city, preached a sermon last evening on the recent riots. He said: "We will not become partners of the apostles 0 sedition and outrage, but we will defend our selves from the domination 0:' such. The lcyal celebration of victory enraged the Governmeat, which, traitorous to its trust, has slaughtered our people. We art resolved to maintain relations with England. If the Government thinks that Ulster will be easily subiugated by a seditious Parliament, it has signally failed in its estimate of us. The people of the North have effective means of resistance, but the time has not come yet to employ them. The humblest of the seven victims who succumbed last Wednesday un der the murderous fire of Mr. Horley's mil itia presented a higher and nobler type of character than dees Mr. Morley." The Catholic clergy of Belfast yesterday congratulated their pee pie upen their "patience and for bearance under provoking circumstances," and urged them to continue to keep the peace. The First United Bulgarian Assembly. Sofia, June 14. Prince Alexander in per son opened the Bulgarian-Rcumelian Assembly. In his address he said he was happy to welcome the first assembly containing delegates from both sides of the Calkins. He thanked the nation for raisirg as one man in defense of the fatherland. They had sacrificed everything to save their honor, their liberty and the integrity of their territory. He thanked the gallant soldiers for their unequalled bravery in inflicting rapid successive defeats and forcing the enemy to seek a powerful defender in order to be preserved from inevitable ruin. "United Bulgaria," the Prince declared, "has earned an honorable place among nations. We are justified in hoping for a brilliant future." 4le concluded by asking the assembly to vote the r eeeseary money to defray the remaining unpaid expenses of the war "between Servia and Bulgaria. Itiot Notes. Dveljx, June 14. A Liberal Unionist committee, to conduct the campaign in Ulster, has been formed at Belfast.

A number of Protestant residents of Sligo held a meeting to day and declared themselves innocent of the charge of having damaged the Bishop's palace. At Kilrush to-day 500 tenants met the agent of their landlords, most of whom considerately offered varibus abatements of rent, np 10 SO per cent. In cases where the landlord refused to abate on jndicisl rents, the tenants decided to pay.

ANARCHY IN IRELAND.

Tha People cf Belfast Fleeing From the City in Terror. Great Numbers of Police and Military Ar riving Terriblo Scenes of Wednesday Many Uvea Lost More Bloodshed Expected. Belfast, June 10. The people are in a state of frenzy. The bloody work of last night has caused the most intense excite ment Work of all kinds has been suspended and the mere peacefully disposed are afraid to venture out, while many are fleeing from the city. The Orangemen threaten to rack the Constabulary Barracks out of re venge for the shooting down of their comrades by the police in last night's conflict?. Large bodies of soldiers and pelice are constantly arriving from Dublin and other cities of Ireland. Several streets are now filled with angry mots. Further details of the terrible outbreak of last night continue to be recti vcd. A public house owned by one O'Hara was sacked and set on fire. The police charged the rioters a dozen times with bayonets, but each time were forced back by a volley of stones. The police were finally forced to take refuge in the barracks, where they fired upon the mob from the second story windows. The mob, however, held their ground twenty minutes longer, although the firing of the police was heavy and incessant. Scores of the rioters were wounded, and it is known positively that six men and two women were Killed. A great many wounded persons were carried away by friends, and whether their injuries are fatal is not yet Known, lwenry of the rioters, who received bullet wounds, arelvine in one infirmary. A large num ber of Orangemen, who took part in thd ri ots, were arrested to-day. The rioting of the Orangemen was resumed yesterday with far more disastrous results than the'day before. In fact, nine persons were killed by the ponce, and a large num ber wounded, some probably fatally, before order was restored. One hundred houses were wrecked. The mob sacked public houses, and its fury became madness as the result of drinking the stolen liquor. Military reinforced the police, which had been driven to their barracks, and restored order. Four of the rioters who were wounded by the police in yesterday s riots died to-day Pour others are dying. Orangemen are making large purchases ef arms, and are de claring they will have revenge upon the po lice for firing into their ranks. At a meet ing of Protestants living on the Shank Hill road, resolutions denouncing the action of tbe police from outlying districts coming to j.ellaEt and attacking peaceful citizens and demanding their withdrawl, were adopted. The number of policemen on duty in Bel fast this afternoon at 3 o'clock was 1,300. A number of troops from Newry have arrived to assist the police in maintaining order. The Magistrate has ordered all the taverns in tbe city to be closed to-night, ho mobs axe to be allowed to congregate in;the streets. An Eye-Witness Tells the Story. Belfast, June 10. The city was comparatively quiet this afternoon. Seven hundred extra policemen are now in town. Six ban dred Loyalists drilled near the city of Ar magh last night. An eye-witness of the riots on Wednesday gives the following discription of the scenes attending the mob's attack on the Bower's Hil) Tolice Station: "Women with pokers pried up paving stones and broke them into suitable sizes for the use of the rioters when tiey ran short of missies. Women and young girls desperately entreated the men to con tinue the fighting whenever they flagged, oi feriig their apronfuls of stones, and when entreaty failed they drove the men on by savage threats. The police station is a mod erately sized dwelling house. When the mob attacked the building the police responded with a volley fired from the door way. But the rioters soon drove the officers In and they retreated upstairs, and thence maintaining the light . . , , .1 t . 1 j on tneir siue, Dy tnooiing irom tue wiuuuns of the front room. They held their position for half an hour, during which the battle was hot and savage on both sides, when they were reinforced by the arrival of several fr hh officers. The increased energy of the police warfare served but to aggravate the mob and they became furious. They were maddened by the sight of tbeir comrades shot down, writhing and howling with atrony. in the street, i have since heard old olfictrs sav that they never knew a mob to show greater viciousness, pluck and deter mination. Despite their desperation tne ri oters hurled their missies with regularity and precision as if they had been drilled in stone throwing. When the men in front had exhausted their ammunition, tbey would retire to the rear to receive fresh supplies from the women, and thus make way for their com' rades with new supplies. Some of tbe stonethrowing was quite extraordinary. One man threw a stone with such vigor that it crashed through a window, struck a rear wall and rebounded with such force that it struck and hurt a policeman. The better armed of the rioters carried what we call here "Belfast Kidneys." These are stones about five and a half inches long, three and a half inches broad, and weigh on an average beut eleven and a halt pounds. There were many boys among the rioters, and they were 11s desperate and plucky as the men. The battle at the station ceased only when 250 soldiers came to the aid of tbe police. Tbe soldiers were from the Hillrounders, and ttev soon drove the mob away. The peonle living in the neighborhood where the riot begau say it was caused by the police, under a mistaken impression, molesting and cudgeling some rderly work men leaving a foundry. According to this story, the populace got angry at the police for their cruel and unjustifiable conduct. and attempted to make them desist. When a conflict became imminent, the story goes. the mob offered to behave if the police were withdrawn, but not otherwise. The people at the Shank Hill road meet ing to-eay attacaed tee police, a he mm tary were summoned and the crowd was dis persed. It is now stated that the meeting was summoned to denounce th- . ilice, and also all other persons, for attacking the hemes and property of peaceable rvsople, and to urge upon the citizens their duty to do tbe utmost in their power to bring the disturbances of tbe peace to justice, irrespective of creed or party. The meeting appointed a deputation to ask the Ma.vor of Belfast for tLe ranges of the officers in charge of the Shank Hill police baaracks yesterday evening. (j r. m. Tbe out-of-town police have been withdrawn from the streets of tbe city in const quence of the hostility manifested towawl Xbfux by tbe Belfaet workmen.

Soldiers have been told off to take the places of these retired officers, and to assist the city police in case they should need help to

night. More Kioting at Lurgan. Belfast, June 10. The funeral ot Thomas Gallagher, the young man who was shot and killed during the recent Lurgan riot, took place to-day. The funeral procession was protected by 100 soldiers and 200 .policemen. A mob of Catholics jeered the mourners and threatened to stop the hearse, but the police held them in check. The political and religious excitement is leading to dangerous quarrels among tbe" women in the factories at Lurgan. At one factory the Protestant females have struck work, demanding tbe dismissal of the Catholics. The rioting was renewed to-night An infuriated mob held possession ot tbe streets and wrecked and pillaged the taverns. The police were compelled to fire bucSsliot into the mob. bo far as known no one wis fatally woanded. Many police were injured by stones. The appeals of the clergy to the rioters todisperse were futile. Eventually the troops cleared the streets. TAMMANY'S TRIBUTE To John Kelly, the Dead Chief-Ihe Wigwam Draped and Speeches Made. Kiw Yokk, June 11. Tammany Hall paid its tribute to-night to its dead chieftan, John Kelly. Outside and within the old wigwam was draped with black. Ex-Judge A. P. Tappan presided. Letters of regret from Hon. Samuel J. Tilden, Governor Hill, Judge Noah Davis, Whitlaw Heid and others were read. Mr. Tilden's letter read as follows: "I regret that the delicate condition of my health does not allow me to accept your invitation to take part in the memorial services commemo rative of the late John Kelly, although I join in tbe tribute you propose to pay to his mercorv." W. Bourke Cochrane offered resolutions of resrect to Tammany's dead chieftain, which were passed by the Tammany Society at the a -' T , 11- 11 1 meeting oi June z, anu aenyereameeuiogy. Mr. Charles A. Dana said : "While he lived the public always regarded him with interest, and now that he is dead tbey speak of him not only with respect, but with affection It is surprising what unanimity there is among men of every party in the opinon now held, that Mr. Kelly was both a great and a good man. For myself, 1 do not dwell very emphatically on that quality of honesty which is so commonly put forward among his gifts. Honesty, thank God, is not such a rare thing among the conspicuous public men of this town. Tbe exception is rather of those who were not honest But while Mr. Kelly possessed this elementary and simple virtue and never departed from it, he possessed also the grander and higher characteristics of disinterestedness, of intel ligence, of wisdom and of Democracy. V ltb him tbe last of these was tbe great thing. He was a Democrat not only in his thoughts, but in his blood and bones. He was a Democrat morning, noon and night, and all the time He believed in the rule of the people, and he had no sympathy with a device of theo rists to check and stifle the popular power, whether by property qualification for the su li rage or by systems oi competitive exam ination8 as the means of getting office. He approved of free roads to office." Remarks were also made by uenerl oeorge Kaines, General Daniel E. Sickels and others. THE CHICAGO SCANDAL,. Terkea Saya the Talo of Bribery of Chieago Aldermen Ia Not So. Philadelphia, June 11. Charles T. Yerkes, the well-known banker of this city end Chicago, who is the accredited agent ot the Philadelphia syndicate in the purchase of the North Side Passenger Railway of Chi cago, arrived in the city last evening. He registered at the Hotel Lafayette. Mr. leises said to a limes reporter: "l in tended to have no interviews in Philadel pbia, as I have only come here to consult with engineers relative to laying a cable road on the Lorth side of Chicago." "But the Chicago papers charge that vou have paid out l,ooo to the lxard ot Aldermen of that city to pass a bill granting you certain franchises?" said the reporter. "It is not so," he replied, "I never paid a cent to an v body, either in councils or out of Coun cils, to procure tbe passage of that bill, or any other bill. There is no truth whatever in the report that I see published in the pa' pers. It is the universal wish of the people of the north side of Chicago that the cable system should be used. 1 have been waited on by a good many citizens of all classes who earnestly urged me to get a cable road in operation as soon as possible. I have promised to do so, and that is what brings me her now. The opposition is entirely among newspapers, the principal one of which is partly owned by a son of one of the directors of the old West Side Company." THE WHEAT CROP. The Agricultural Department Reports Prospects Good. Washington, June 10. The crop report of the Department of Agriculture makes the area of spring wheat nearly the same as last year about 12,000,000 acres. There is an increase of one-sixth of last year's breadth in Dakota, a decrease in Nebraska, and a small reduction in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The extention of area in Dakota is due mainly to settlement and the necessity of ready money for improvements, and somewhat to last year's unsatisfactory flax production in Southern Dakota. The eßect of low prices f wheat has been counteracted by the superior rate of yield of recent years, the condition of spring wheat averaging and against 07 in last year; Wisconsin, 07; Minnesota, 99; Iowa, 100; Nebraska, 97; Dakota, 99; Washington, 100. Winter wheat is not quite so promising as on the 1st of May. A slight decline in condition is reported in the West, and the low condition of the Southern crop is more reduced, yet tbe average is only reduced two points, from 94.9 to 92 7. It is still from averaee to high in tbe great wheat producing States. Ia New York it is not littering as in years of strong root growth. It is very promising in Maryland and Virginia, except in wet lands. In the South it has been affected by rust, shrivelling, the grain harvested. There has been injury from drouth in Texas, rain and floods in Ohio, and hail storms in Missouri. The prospect is good for a sma'l fraction above twelve bushels per acre. Committed for Contempt. Loxo Island City, N. Y., June 14. Justioe Cullen, of Queens County Supreme Court, signed an order committing John Anderson, President; G. S. Tell, First Vice Tresideit; G. W. Casper, Secretary, and John Dow, Superintendent of the Commercial Telegram Company, for contempt of court for violating the injunction issued by Judge Bickman restraining the company from removing tbe tickers in the Petroleum Exchange in Js'ew York.

GLADSTONE'S ADDRESS.

The Proposal cf Coercion Not Justifed by Facts, and Doomed to Failure. Tbe Two Plans for Governing Ireland The Benefits of the Policy of the Liberal Party Fresh Rioting, Thia Time at Migo Other Foreign News. Lomo', June 13. Mr. Gladstone has is sued the following manifesto to the electors of Midlothian: Gentlemen In consequence of the defeat of the bill for tbe better government of Ireland, the Min istry oat leea rn.ua iler Alajeetr was pleased to fa ut tion the iKtlution of Parliament, for a decision by the Nation oi the gravest and likewise the simplest isue that has been submmitted to it lor balf a century. It is only a seiM oi the gravity of this issue which induces rae, at a period of life vben nature cries aloud for repose, to teek, after sitting in thirteea Parliaments, a seat in the fouitceuth, and, with this view, to solicit for tbe filth time the honor of your confidence. At the last election I endeavored in ny addresses and speeches to impress npoa you the fact that a great crisis had arrived in the affair of Ireland. WeaJc as the late government wu f er ordinary purposes, it had great advantages far dealing- with that crisis. A comprehensive measure proceeding from that government would hare received warm andextcmive support from within the Liberal party, and would probably have closed the Irish controversy within the present session, and have left the Parliament of lbX free to prosecute the now stagnant work of ordinary legislation, with tbe multitude of questions it inc lude. My earnest hope? n as to support the late Cabinet In such a course of policy. Ontbe2Gtbof last January the opposite policy of coercion was declared to have been the choice of the Government, the Karl of Carnarvon alone refnsing to share in it. The Irish question wutbus placed in the foreground to the exclusion of every other. The hour, as all felt, was come. Theonly point remaining to determine was the manner in which it was to be dealt with. In my judgment the proposal of coercion was not justified byfacts, and was doomed to certain and disgraceful failure. Some method of governing Ireland other than coercion ought, as 1 thought, to be sought and to be found. Therefore I viewed with regret the fall of the late Cabinet. and when suHaioned by Her Maestytp form a new one 1 undertook it oa the basis ot anti coercion policy, with tbe fullest explanation to those whote aid 1 sought as colieftgues when I proposed to determine wbetaer it might not be possible to grant Ireland a domestic legislature and maintain the honer and consolidate the uoitv ol the Empire. A government was formed and; the work at once put In band. Yon will now, gentlemen, understand how and why it is that tbe affairs of Ireland, and not for the first time, have thrust aside every other subject and adjourned our hopes of useful and progressive legislation. As a question of the first necessity of social order it forces itself into tbe van. The late Cabinet, tbouth right in giving it that place, were, as we thought, wrong in their manner of treating it. It was our absolute dnty, on takiDg the Government, if we did not adopt tbeir method, to rropose another. Thus, gentlemen, it is that this great and simple issue has come upon you and demands you decision. Will jou govern Ireland by coercion, or will you let Ireland manage her own affairs? To debate in this address this and that detail of the lately defeated bill, would only bo to disguise this irane, and would be as futile as to discuss tbe halting, stumbling, ever-shifting and ever-vanishing projects of an intermediate class, which have proceeded from the seceding Liberals. There are two clear, positive and intelligent plans before the world. There is the plan of the Government, and tbere is the plan of Lord (Salisbury. Our plan is that Ireland should, under well considered conditions, transact her own affairs. Ilia plan is, Parliament to renew tbe repressive laws and enforce them resolutely for twenty ?'cars, by the end of which tine he assures us Ireand will be fit to accept any government in tbo way of a local government on the repeal of the coercion law you may wish to give her. I leave this Tory project to speak for iuelf in its simplicity and retain to the proposed policy of the Government. Cur opponents, gentlemai, whether Tories or seceders, have assumed the name of Unionists. I deny them tbe title to it. In intention, indeed, we are all Unionists alike, bit the union th?y refuse to modify is in its present shape a päprr union, obtained by force and fraud, and neversanctioned or accepted by the Irish nation. They are not Union tsts, but paper Unionists. True union is to be tested by the sentiments of The human beings united. Judged or this criterion. ive have less UBion between Great Britain ana Ireland now than we had under the settlement of 1782. Enfranchised Ireland, gentlemen, ifks through her lawful representatives for the revival of her domestic Legislature, not on the face of it an innovating but a restorative policy. She urges with truth the centralization of Parliament has been the division of peoples; but she recognize the fact tt at the union, lawlessly as it was obtained, can not and ought not to be repealed. She has not repelled, but tas welcomed the stipulations for the protection of the minority. To such provisions we have given and shall give careful heed, but I trust Scotland will condemn the attempt to singularly made to import into tbe controversy a venomous element of religious bigotry. Let ber tike warning br the deplorable riots in Belfast and other places ia the north. Anongthe benefit, gentlemen, i anticipate fromvour acceptance of our policy are these: The consolidation of the united empire and great additions to its strength; tbe stoppage of the heavy, constant and demoralizing waste of the public treasury: tbe abatement and gradual extinction of ignoble feuds in Ireland, and that development of her resources which experience shows to be a natural consequent of free and orderly government: the reeeaiptien of the honor of Great Britain from the aligns fastened upon, her almost from time imniamsrial in respect tr Ireland by tbe judgment of the whole civilized, world, and lastly, the restoratfen of Parliament to its dignity and efficiency, and the regular progress ot the business of the ooaitry. V ell. gentlemen, tae first question I now pnt to yea is, how shall Ireland governed? There ie another onestion oehiad it, and involved in it: How are Ln gland and otiaa4 to be governed? You knew bow, for the lait aix years especially, the s flairs of England aid ßeotlan have been impeded and vour Imperial Parliament disabled. All this happened while tbe Nationalists were but a small minority of the Irish nenbers, without support from so much as a haaaful of members not Irish. Now they approach ninety, and entitled to say: "We are speaking the views of tbe Irish nation." It is impoaihl to deal with this subject by half measures. They are strong in their nnsaters, strong in British support. whick brought 313 members to voto for tkeir country; strongest of all in the sense of being right. But, gentlemen, we have doae our rart: the rest remains for you. Electors of the country, may you 1 enabled to see through and cast away all delusions, refuse evil and choose good. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, your faithful and grateful servant, . W. E. Gladstone, OREGON ELECTION. The Democrats Make Gains, Electing Several State Officers. roRTLANE, Ore., June 9.
