.'OH, MY GOD! I'M SHOT." A Pistol Ball Nearly Ends Kr. O'Biisri Canadian Tear.

Eight Slots Fired, One cf Which Strikes Dswn His Coachman. A Hostile Crowd at Hiniltjn Who Seen Tetermined on Harder. The Crowd Held at Bay While O'Brien Eacapes A Shower of Kotten Fggs Other Incidents. ALMOST UNABLE TO STAND. Despite the Protests of His Fhjslclan Mr. O'Brien Starts for Hamilton. Niagara Falls, N. Y., May 23. Mr. O'Brien did not leave his bed to-day until 11 o'clock, and then he was so weak as to ,be almost unable to stand. He had to be assisted in dressing by Dennis Kilbride. Dr. W. R. Campbell told Mr. O'Brien positively that he was unfit to leave his bed, much less to start out on a journey to Hamilton, hut the latter was as firm as a rock. "I will go," he said, "they expect me, and I have arranged to go and can not disappoint my frienda." He left by the 12:50 train which arrives at Hamilton at 3 p. m. The meeting will not, as has been stated, be held during the day, but will take place at night, something which Mr. O'Brien says he does not understand. Toronto is not more than forty miles from Hamilton, and it is reported to-day that bodies cf Orangemen are going to make a descent from the larger city up:n Hamilton and join the local Orangemen in making an attack upon Mr. O'Brien's life. The Nationalists will be organized this time, and Mr. O'Brien approves the idea that they should be, and that outside aid should be Eent to Hamilton, which will probably te done by friends in Buffalo and other Irish centers. Mr. O'Brien said to-day to an Associated Frees representative: ' If any attack be made upon me in Hamilton tfce police have not a shadow or a shade of excuse. The Canadian Government has now received full warning that is to say if there be a Canadian Government at all, which I doubted several times owing to the impunity with which the murderous attacks were made upon us. If anything happens now they can not, as I have already said, put forward any such excuse s the lying one bv Mayor Howland, of Toronto, that the attack was unexpected, and that ten min ntes had only elapsed between my exit from and my return to the hotel, when aa a matter of tact I left the hotel at 8:30 p m.. and was unable to venture to steal back until near midnight." MB. O'BRIEN IN HAMILTON. He Meets Tilth a Reception That Throws All Others Into the Shade. Hamilton, May 23. ,ben tbe 1 p. m. train for Hamilton steamed oat of the depot at Niagara Falls to-day most of the population of the small settlement had gathered to see Mr. O'Brien off. Since the assaults upon Mr. O'Brien it is noticeable that among tbe crowds which have greeted him at different places were many Americans. Mr, O'Brien has observed this and to. day he said : "I appreciate far and away bevond anything I had ever dreamed of be fore the love of the genuine American for liberty of speech and fair play." A great change is also apparent in Can adian opinion and the Canadian newspa pers which at first opposed Mr. O Brien visit in strong and even in some instances extravagant language, are now all on O'Brien's side, with the possible exception of tbe Toronto Mail, which in an editorial to-dav savs: "Mr. O'Brien had no right In the first place to come here to attack the Governor General because of Lord Lansdowne's acta aa an Irish landlord, and trouble having aris en in consequence he can not be allowed to throw the whale responsibility upon the citizens of Toronto and Kingston. At least an equal measure of it attaches to his own wilfulness and obstinacy in aeiiber atelv persisting in a blander despite the warnings and entreaties that reached him in advance from every quarter, and the signs and symptons of popular annoyance that lav under his own eves." Mr. O'Brien met with a reception here which threw everything that has occurred up to the present time In the shade. As he was helped out of the car his eye rested neon such an extraordinary sight as is said by the citizens not to have been seen In this town during many years. There, under the scorching rays of the sun, with their hats off, was a vast body of stalwart men racked so closely together that pass are could not be made for some minutes. In vain did Mr. Kilbride and his other friends beseech the thronging thousands to make way and stOD shaking hands with Mr. O'Biien. A thunderous chorus of cheers, louder and louder, went up from the crowd until he waa forced to interpot an objection. "You're not in Kingston," fried one man. waving a short stick threat eninelv. aa though indicating how he would have acted if he bad been there, No. nor in Toronto." shouted another. After having his arm nearly shaken off O'Brien managed to escape to the carriage in waiting for him. Presently a Bquaaron of women, massed as solidly as though they were drilled, overpowered the men and would have smothered the member for Northeast Cork with caresses had they been able to reach his carriage, judging by the demonstrations made by a few who got that length. Finally the proce33ion o carriages moved and proceeded to the Koyal Hotel, saluted with cheers along the whole route. Arrived there, the crowd would have a speech in spite of O'Brien's wearines3. He thanked them for their hearty welcome, and predicted a speedy victory for the Irish cause. The meeting was held at 8 o'clock in the Palace Rink, on Jackson street, about a hall-mile drive from the hotel. Outside the hotel a large crowd had gathered, only a few of whom were antl-O'Brienites, judging by the scattered hissing and groaning amid the general outbursts of applause. The rink, which la capable of holding 2,000 was filled. On the platform was a number of prominent citizens, including some Orangemen and several Knighta of Labor. There was also present a deputation from Toronto, including Mr. D. P. CahilLwho was seriously injured in the riot, together with many Catholic clergymen, who occu?ied prominent places. James O'Brien, resident of the National League, presided. Cornelius Donovan read an address of welcome. Mr. O'Brien begged the indulgence of the audience on account of his condition, and proceeded to apeak with such force as he had, covering in the main the lame ground which he has heretofore covered in his speeches, denouncing Lord Lansdowse aa a rack-renter; admitting jhat the rpeajkex'i body had been

battered somewhat by the paving stones and bricks hurled by Lord Lansdowne's friends, but asserting that this In nowise shattered the indictments brought against the Governor-General as to his dealings with his Luggacurran tenants; and, as no other answer has been vouchsafed, it must be taken that tbe allegations stand proved. After Mr, O'Brien sat down the chairman read the following cablegram from London, signed by Justin McCarthy, Thomas Sexton, T.M. Healy, John Dillon nd J. C. Biggar: "Accept the sympathy of your colleagues. We feel the deepest indignation at the brutal conduct of the mob at Kingston and Toronto. We earnestly request that you take rest under the best medical care." Dennis Kilbridge then spoke. George Collins, an Englishman, who

also addressed the meeting, astonished the audience by the bitterness of his attack on Lord LanEdowne. Frederick Walter?, president of the Iron Molders' Union, J. H. Racey and Edward Williams, all Englishmen, and William Berry, an Orangeman, made speeches, after which a resolution condemning Lord Lansdowne was passed. A crowd of several hundred collected m Jackson street, opposite the rinK just as was the case at Kingston, while the meet ing Whs going on. I hey were Orangemen, but the chief of police drove thm away and allowed no one to stand on the blcck. What he did prob ably prevented a not, for had there been any attack the men who met O'Brien at the depot in the forenoon, and who were on hand in hundreds marching up and down on the side streets, would have done terrible execution. O'Brien's bodyguard in Hamilton was an organized real ity. All was well up to this, but the worst was to come. Another attack was made upon Mr. O'Brien, this time with fire arms, and again there was aaother miraculous escape: this escape, however, bein?: accompanied by a wound in the wrist oi one ot u linen a faithful companions. O'Brien was Bitting down after having made a vigorous speech in return for the vote of thanks passed and Dennis Kilbride was on his feet engaged in a like task. Just then a man was observed on the platform leaning over and whisper ing something in U linen a ear. it was noticed that O Brien shook his head, as if in dissent. The man persisted. Half of the audience arose to their feet. peerirg over each other a heads, anxiously striving to catch a glimpse of what was going forward on the platform, The chairman tried to quell the anxiety by asking the audience to hear sir. xiioriage, but the crowd of 2.0C0 people, primed with angry feelings that have lasted since the two successive attacks on O'Brien at Kingston and Toronto were not so easily quieted down. They had noticed that the man whispered to O'Brien, and they were evidently determined to see what it meant. The man again made a silent appeal, whatever it was, and again Mr. O'Brien shook his head. Still one more appeal was made, and this time Mr. O'Brien Beemed to acquiesce. Tbe first sign of commotion was when Mr. O'Brien got up and left the platform. This was in response to the request several times made to him which he had already refused. It was the idea of some officious and meddlesome man a plan which he had to save Mr. O'Brien's life. The plan was to leave the rink by a narrow alley, then reach McNabb street and jump into a carriage in waiting there and drive to the hotel. It was the first time, so far during the tour, that he did not go out the ordi nary way, and the plan well nigh cost him his lue. In the carriage, which was a covered one, besides Mr. O'Brien, were Messrs. McMahon and Boche, of the local branch of the National League, and Dennis Kilbride. On the driver's seat were John Nelson, who held the reins ot the team, and T. B. O'Brien. As they whicDed ud the horses and faced for the hotel a crowd suddenly appeared. This crowd proved unfriendly, for no sooner had Mr. O'Brien and his friends taken their places than they Bet no the usual hissing and groaning, which afterward proved to be a con certed signal to; a group of five men who lurked around the market building in Market square. The men who hissed and groaned followed tbe carriage, and, as it wheeled into Market square, there was a sudden click, the horses pranced, and a flash of light suddenly overspread a group o: buildings where the men lurkea. ine reins dropped out of John Nelson's hands, and, with the exclamation, "Oh! my God, I'm shot." he fell forward on the seat. Crash, crash, crash, quick as lightning, and through bright flashes of flame, sped the bullets from two revolvers, until eight shots had been fired. Mr. O'Brien stretched forward to look out, and as he did so ball whisked by his face and passed through the opposte window without harming any body. T. P. O'Brien. Seison's companion, who had been amazed and dazed, now grasped the reins and lashed the horses through the cquare into James street and down to the hotel, corner of James and Merrick streets. Here there was a hostile crowd who again hooted as the party within tried to open the door, but could not. Mr. McMahon jumped over the door and drawing a revolver, held the crowd at bay, while Mr. O'Brien and his friends were making their exit from the carriage, also by the same uncomfortable way. As the party stepped into the corridor of the hotel a volley of rotten eggs was hurled at them, but no one was hit. Chief McKIn non and his men now rushed up, but all was over. Nelson was taken to tbe City Hospital. Dr. James White extracted the bullet. He says the wound is dangerous. It is on the left wrist. No arrests were made. When O'Brien reached his room he was smiling and cheerful, and nobody to look at him would have supposed that he had just escaped from the last of a series of attempts to take his life. Many express the opinion O'Brien himself among the number, and the Chief of Police, too. that the men who fired the shots came from Toronto. There Is not the slightest evidence offered to prove this. There are rumors that some Orangemen did reach here this evening from Toronto, whic is only forty miles away. Many are of the opinion though that Hamilton will have to shoulder the blame. The men who stopped opposite the hotel and threw rotten eggs certainly belong here. As this dispatch is being written there Is a great deal of excitement in the streets. Fire crackers and powder are being exploded in all directions, and fire arms discharged. A kind of preliminary celebration of the Queen's birthday, Michael Allen, a small boy. had his face laid open by a blow cf a stick. O'Brien returns to Niagara Falte Tuesday, where he will take a rest, and proceed thence to Montreal to attend the open air meeting Thursday Struck toy Toraado. Clay Cistxr, Kan., May 23. The Times is in receipt of news of a tornado which struck Idana, a small town eight miles west of here, last evening. The new schoolhouse was entirely demolished, two churches badly damaged and half a dozen dwellings blown down. The people gen erally took refuge in cellars, and only one person WW senousiy ßuiw

MORE BITTER DEBATE.

1 Stormy All-Night Seseion of the Haass cf Commons. Maiy Amendments Considered and Voted Upon With Varying Results. The Author of "Ireland as It Is aa Obscure English Priest Farnell's Ilealth Said to he Improved The Control of Egypt Other For el jii Intelligence, Etc. BRITISH nOCSE OF COMMONS. Amendments to the Irish Considered. Crimes Bill Lonion, May 23. Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, in replying to Mr. Gladstone to-night, promised to secure, dorirg recess, a return of Irish agrarian crime to the end of May, and added, that since the introduction of the crimes bill there had been a marked improvement in tbe condition of Ireland. Cries of "Oh! Oh!" M. H. smith, First Lord ot tne Treasury, said the Government's views regarding the amendments to the Crimes bill, were that those amendments which related to intimi dation should be considered and decided upon in committee. The other amendments were not oi a seri ous nature until they came to Sir Charles Russell's amendment for the omission ox the fiub-Eection relating to the Whiteboy acts. The Government would withdraw that sub-section for the present, reserving the right and power to restore it at the report stage. Timothy xieaiy saia me uovernmeni s statement was very unsatisfactory, and he suggested that the bill be recommitted for consideration oi tne yuueuyy wiause instead of the alteration being made with the Speaker in the chair. Mr. Balfour said in no case would tne Whiteboy acts be embodied in the bill, but it was propoeed to add any ottense covered by the Whiteboy acts where such action might be thonghi desirable. It was a question, however, whether there were any such offenses. Mr. Healy Will such amendment, If introduced, be moved with the Speaker in the chair? Mr. Balfour Yes. Mr. Healy Then I will waive the entire question. Mr. Marum, Nationalist, moved an additional proviso to the effect that while cases of boycotting and other minor offenses may be tried summarily by magistrates, cases involving conspiracy and other serious charges must be trifd by the Superior Court. Hogh Holmes, Attorney for Ireland, opposed the amennment. Mr. Smith moved that cloture be carried. The amendment was negatived 217 to 120. Mr. Healey, while speaking, was called to order for making irrelevant remarks. Mr. Smith proposed an amendment that the last two lines of sub-Eection two be added to clause two, the effect of which would be to exclude the six amendments. Mr. Smith's amendment was carried undercloturelOOto 11G. Maurice Healy, Nationalist, moved that the word "threats" be substituted for "intimidation." Mr. Balfour said the Gevernment could not afford to restrict the definition one iota, therefore it could not accept amendments. A stormy all night sitting is expected. The;Government is said to be determined to pass the second clause of the crimes bill at all hazards. Maurice Healy's amendment was rejected. Mr. Sbaw Lefever, Liberal, moved to omit the words "unlawful assembly." Rejected. Mr. Healy moved to report progress. Mr. Smith approved the motion, saying that the Government wanted decision on the claims in order that the House might adjourn for the. Whitsunday holidays. Mr. Healy'B (motion was rejected after discussion, during which Mr. Morely declared it was a physical impossibility to dispose of the clause as desired by the Government. Mr. Smith moved to put next the four lines covering the fifteen Parnellite amendments. Mr. Healy protested that Mr. Smith was out of order. The chairman assented. Mr. Chance, Nationalist, moved that the chairman leave the chair. Mr. Smith Interposed a motion of cloture. By a vote of 259 to 113, Mr. Chance's motion was negatived. Mr. Smith moved the motion relative to the ram ell amendments, which was carried under cloture 253 to lia. Other amendments were negatived, Smith again carrying the cloture motions amid cries of "shame" and "disgraceful" from the Irish benches. Mr. Smith then moved to put the remain ing four lines of sub-section three, excluding the seven amendments. Carried under cloture by a vote oi zu to 119. Ireland as It Is." Rome, May 23. The pamphlet entitled "Ireland as It Is," the authorship which Is erroneously ascribed to the Irish College, is signed "Catholics." It is the work of an elderly and nearly forgotten English Catholic priest, whose principal object it appears will be to prepare the ground for the renewal of diplomatic relations between England and the Yatigen by excessive abuse of Ireland. The writer is hoping by this means to promote antipathy to Parnellism. The pamphlet was printed In English and Itian. The Egyptian Question. Constantinople, May 23. The convention between England and Turkey in relation to the control of Egypt requires the adhesion of all the powers before It becomes operative. England is to be mandatory of all the powers in the event of disorder in Egypt. Refused a Pardon.

A Washington special to the Herald Bays: Your correspondent had a conversation yesterday afternoon with Secretary Lamar in regard to the question of land reform and Indian reform. Tbe letter to the President on the revocation of certain indemnity withdrawals is only the first step toward a general revocation of all indemnity withdrawals remaining in all parts of the country, as he sta'ed in his letter in these words: "Steps will be taken in reference to tne indemnity lands of the other land-grant railroads, with a yiew to the restoration of these lands to settlement (allowing a given and reasonable time to make their selections) as eoon as the department is in posession of sucn information as will enable it to act intelligently in making allowance to Baid companies of indemnity claims in lieu of those lost m place." Secretary Lamar said : "I am fully convinced that all the lards that have been withdrawn from set tlement at various times, to allow the land grant corporations to select Indemnity lands, ought to be reopened without settle ment, and this is what I shall do. Every indemnity withdrawal will be revoked by me without unnecessary delay. My first order on tbe subject simply clears tbe ground for the complete action on wnich I bave determined." "Have you any objections to this being known?" "Not in the least, I authorize you to say it as from me. ISo concealment is necessary. Under the laws granting these lands, the corporations are, and have been. entitled for years to select lands in tbe in demnity limits to make good any losses in their granted limits. But I hold that while the corporations bad and have this right, the people had and have at the same time the same rignt to settle on those lands, uu der the land laws, and it is just and necessary that this equal right ot the people in these lands should be asserted. Hence, I shall revoke every indemnity withdrawal and open all indemnity lands to settlement at OKce. Within the granted limits the land-grant corporations have certain rights to the exclusion of the people. That is, by act of Congress. Within the indemnity limits the corporations have their rights of selection only in common with the peo ple.' ' How do you get on with the execution of the Indian severalty laws ' "We are still busy with the prelimin aries, which are numerous, as there ire many reservations and the circumstances on each are peculiar. That law is one of the most important and beneficent Con grees has ever passed. The true way to settle the Indion question is to abolish the Indian Bureau. I mean, of course, to pursue such a policy as will result in that. I do not anticipate any serious obatac's. "The numerous leases of Indian lands by cattlemen I shall sweep away. If they were allowed to subsist the Indians who have made leases of this kind, for which, as you know, there is no authority of law, would be induced to resist tne law oi Uon gm 3 commanding their settlement in 6ev eralty. I shall, therefore, give proper notice promptly that the cattle must be re moved and the leases annulled. If we have been obliged to use troops to keep settlers out of Itdian lands, or lands held by agreement for Indian uses, then we may surely use troops, if necessary, to drive off and keep off cattle just as I have found it necessary lately to employ troops to tear down fences around the public lands, i am not fond of the use of troops, but when cattle are to go. and while I hope the cat tle-lease men will obey in good faith, I shall not hesitate to compel prompt obedience. The law of Congress must be carried out." Quiet in the Coke Regions. Pittsburg. May 23. Dispatches from the coke regions report everything quiet to-day. Information has been made against the Ting-leaders in the recent riot at Daw ron, and a number of arrests were made by the Sheriff of layette ijounty this atternoon. This may cause trouble, but the Sheriff is prepared to quell any distnrbance. A. Jew lor lauur uuinu uu offered to furnish the coke operators with from 150 to 1,000 men a day to taice tne strikers' places. II the strike is not broken within a week the proposition, it is saia, will be accepted. All the officials of the Kniehts of Labor deny haying heard from Pnwderlv In regard to his reported con demnation of the strike. Workmen de clare that if such orders do come it will intensify rather than lessen the determina tion of the striaers. Declared a Draw. New York, May 23. Richard K.

INTEE-STATE COMMERCE. Charges Tiled Against the Pennsylvania Hallway Company. Washington, May 23. Before the InterState Commerce Commission to-day, Willism Brown, in behalf of the Chicago and Alten Kailroad Company, filed charges against the Pennsylvania Bailroad Com pany of violation ot the third section of the inter-State commerce act. He charged specifically that the Pennsylvania Com pany had unlawfully given preference and advantage to the Chicago, Burlington and ouincy Kailroad company m the inter change of passengers to Chicago, and de nied the Chicago and Alton reasonable facilities for the interchange of passenger trafSc This is alleged to be the result of an unlawful combination on the part ot the Pennsylvania and other companies to coerce the public. Mr. lirown also bled in Denan ot tne Chicago, Kock Island and Pacific Road similar charges sgainst the New York Central and Hudson Biver Kailroad Company. The Commission, after hearing his state ment, entered an order for the companies, against which the complaints are made, to appear and make answer in ten days. btatementa were also med in Denan ot tne Chicago and Alton and Chicago, Rxk Island and Pacific Bailrcad Company in answer to the complaints made against tbem by the Burlln Stock Car Company. The Commission has received a com munication from the Mississippi Bailroad Commission protesting against the suspension of section 4, save only as to exceptional shipments in cases where the same is manifestly demanded to secure speedy transit. The City Council of Central City, Neb., also protests any suspension of the fourth section of the act. UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. Decisions Announced Yesterday validity of the Driven Well Patent. Washington. May 23. The United States Snpreme Court briefly announced decisions to-day in about twenty cases, and then adjourned until Friday. Leading counsel in the telephone cases were present, out a uecision in tnose cases was not renaerea. Among the cases of general Interest were the following: No. 120. Harris E. Ames against W. D. Andrews and others. Appeal from the United States Circuit Court for the District of Connecticut, The controversy in this case relates to tbe validity of wbat is known as "the driven-well patent." The import ance of this litigation, and the extent to which the people of the country are Inter ested, is shown by the fact that the number of driven-wells in the United States is some where between 500,000 and 1,000,000. The court holds. (Crst). that the grounds upon which it is sought to invalidate the reistued ratent for the driven wells as being for a different invention from that described in the original patent, can not be sustained ; fsfcond). that the invention had not been anticipated by others and, (third), that tbere is a clear case of infringement The val'ditv of re-issued patent No. 4.372 issued to Nelson W. Green is therefore sustained and the decree of the Circuit Court affirmed. Orinion by Justice Matthews. 10. A. a. ieeaie sgainss r rana j. Bennet and others. Appeal from the United States Circuit Court for tbe North District of Ohio. This is also a driven well patent case.

This was a suit to recover the valneof a cargo of produce lost by the sinking of the steamer Henry C. x eager, in the Mississippi liiver below bt. iiouis, in May 18S0. Tbe court holds that upon the finding of the facts the four transportation r.nmnanies were iointly liable for the loss of the produce: of the steamer Yeager, and that the Circuit court errea in not so noiaIre.

By this action the most salient feature of tbe buildlDg contractors' fight was virtually amended out of existence and the proposed attempt to make 50,000 workmen Individ ually subscribe in writing to their employers' code has been abandoned. me amena id g was aone at . W . A a meeting of the Building Interests' Coun cil. Among those present at tbe meeting were the five members of the Executive Board of the National Association of Builders. After the troubles leading up to the present crisis had been relatad for the information of the board, tne regular business of the council was taken up. The committee of five appointed to prepare an address to the public was called upon to report. The members asked for further time. They Btated that the trouble here would affect other cities, so the greatest care must be taken. Accordingly, a re port fiom the committee was postponed come minor amendments to the code of principles were proposed. Mr. Maver objected to any change, as the master carpenters had passed upon and adopted the code. Mr. Dempsey said that the master masons had not and probably would not accept the code, and they did not think the clause of requiring the signature of each workman could be carried into effect, especially m those trades where no disturbance now existed. Tbe chairman called the roll of trades to ascertain their attitude regarding the sig nature idea. A majority of the replies were either evasive or were distinctly op posed to an attempt at forcing the employes to sign. Several suggested that the word ienatnre be stricken out and the word "assent" substituted. Mr. Bavward. of the National Board, made an address to the meeting. He said it was not worth while to waste time over the words "assent" and "signature." The assent, however, must come or they could not conduct their busin ess. They must stand as Amer lean citizeBB. for the whole Of the civil ized world was looking to see what Chi cs ?o was going to do with the old man of the sea. They must stand by the principles they had adopted, for these principles were tbe embodiment of the individual lihprtv that makes life dear. After Mr. Say wards' address some verbal changes were made in the code, but the sense remained unchanged, except that the wcrd "assent" took the place of "aignatnre and in place of the word 'pledge" tbe words "by accepting employment I Th i-eanlt in thftt instead Ot reWritten pledge from each workemployers content themselves tacit understanding.
