A Warm Contest Over 0Hirers Likely to Tnke
1’lnee—Flnerty Talks Plainly Aliont the Irish
Situation—The KniliHrmsslng Position of the
Itelegutes From Ireland.
Chicago, August 17.—The delegates to
the Irish national league are arriving in
great numbers to-day and to night. It is
estimated that fully one thousand are on
the ground. There was lively caucusing
about the hotel lobbies respecting the elec
tion of officers, hut neither element in the
convention laid hare its hand. That there
will be a sharp passage on the convention
floor appears now to bo assured. An even
ing paper says that the representatives
from Ireland, who will arrive
this evening are placed in an extremely
delicate position. They will be waited
upon by representatives of both reception
committees and upon their action in the
acceptance of the invitations by either
party will be foreshadowed the success or
failure of other questions before the con
vention.
Davitt is said to be greatly annoyed by
the Ogdens grove declarations and has
positively declined to interfere in the
dispute even with a view to their
adjustment. It is, therefoi'e, cer
tain that the matter must be
fought out on the floor of the convention.
The signal for the onslaught will be # the
nomination of Alexander Sullivan for the
presidency. It is understood that will be
done in order to give the latter gentleman
an opportunity of refusing it as a vindica
tion of his character, and the opportunity
will be utilized for promised “exposures.”
John F. Finnerty’s name is favorably men
tioned as President Eagan’s successor.
Others ure combatting his nomination in
view of his recent physical
force utterances. Finerty himself
says he does not desire his name to be put
forward. With regard to his speecli in
Ogden’s Grove ho made the following ex
planation to-day:
“ We have no desire to force the hand of
Parnell or to drive the Irish people into
war unprepared. All that we demand is
this, (and we will be satisfied witti nothing
less;) that no leader of the Irish people
who is supposed to speak for them shall
commit himself or them to accepting
as a final settlement bills of
reliefunworthy of the dignity of Ireland’s
national demand. We are perfectly will
ing to soe them accept such bills as that
of Gladstone as a settlement on account,
but that must not be accepted as closing
the transaction. We see no wisdom in it.
It lowers the tone of the Irish cause; it
lowers the spirit of true people. To ask
them to subside to a species of mere pro
vincialism is an outrage on their struggle
of seven hundred years for liberty.
We admit that it may lie good
policy on the part of Parnell and Davitt to
be what is termed moderate in tone, but
for us who represent the national idea of
the Irish people, it would be worse than
folly to conceal our sentiments. We recog
nize that Ireland is incapable of fighting
England at present. We do not want her
to fight England except in some manner
that will be safe to her, and whatever risks
she may take now or in the future she
will find that wte are sincere
in our desire to help her in her struggle
for liberty, and 1 cannot conceive what
the oblect'is of the distinguished Irishmen
who differ from Sullivan! Kagan and my
self in charging us with a desire to force
the Irish people in an unprepared revolt.
I, at least, have emphasized my desire not
to place the Irish people in any such po
sition, although I have been equally em
phatic in condemning that other policy
which weakens the nerve and demoral
izes tlie spirit of the people, but so far as
to the charge of attempting to con
demn the policy, or to force
the hand of the Irish
leader, I have never at any time in my ca
reer done so and I never will. I will con
clude, however, by saying this much on
one other subject. Whenever an Irishman
is brave enough and magnanimous enough
to take the risk of terrifying the enemies
of his country and his race, such of us as
may not be able to approve of his action
ought at least remain silent and leave the
denunciation of him to those against whom
lie has raised his hand.”
TRYING TO WRECK.
Superintendent Amsden, of the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern railroad,
said that another attempt to wreck was
made at 8:30 p. in. yesterday near the
stock yard crossing. I'nknown persons
turned the switch and an engine and three
freight cars were derailed. Fortunately no
lives were lost and but little damage done,
except to one freight car, which was
badly wrecked. After an hour’s delay the
track was cleared and traffic resumed.
The men now at Harrison street station
Were arrested at the instigation of Super
intendent Amsden, who hud a long consul
tation with the directors this afternoon.
As a Lake Shore train, loaded with
dressed beef, was going south last night
it was ditched at Fifty-third street,
four ears and Hie engine leaving the track.
Policeman Silvester was caught by the
falling enrs and seriously injured. ‘ The
accident was caused by ri turned switch
having caught in some' way, but whether
it was intentional is not known.
Between 12 and 1 o’clock this afternoon
the police at South Chicago found a bomb
on the track of the Lake Shore road near
the depot in that town. It is made of a
gas pipe eighteen inches long, both ends
being plugged with wood. The police
were so excited at the discovery that thev
at once boarded a train and took the bomb
to Captain Hunt, at Hyde Park. It was
fired off on the Lake Slior e this afternoon.

Away wit li SlIO.IIOO.
Boston, August 17.—The managing di
rectors of the Atlantic mill company are
still engaged upon the books of the corpo
ration in relation to the shortage of Win.
Gray, jr., late treasurer, lmt at present the
exact amount of his defalcation cannot be
learned with certainty. In nil interview
this morning with two of the principal
directors, who are anxious that their names
should be withheld, the following facts
were learned:
Last Friday the deficiency was discover
ed by an examiner appointed by the di
rectors and on Saturday Gray came to the
office and was confronted with the charge.
He, after a moment of two, confessed the
crime and acknowledged that lie hod em
bezzled the funds of the corporation to the
extent of between 850,C:'0 and :• 00,000, but
as to the use to which lit put the money
his only reply was “building operations.-’
This accounting is believed to be true by
the directors, who say his operations of
this character in Roxbury have been noto
rious. It is also believed that Gray has
told the truth regarding the amount em
bezzled, and the directors do not expect to
find that it will exceed $00,000. On Sunday,
Gray, accompanied by his brother-in-law'
and a party of gentleman friends, went on
board Iris yacht Huron, and cruised about
the lower harbor and bay during the day
and spent the night below. Monday morn
ing the yacht came up to the city and
landed Gray and his companions ou the
Central wharf. Gray ordered the captain
to get ready to sail again at 2 p. in., at.
hicli time Gray stated hr, would be on
board. The captain has not seen Gray
since; and the Huron still liesat hi ranchor
age.
The police have searched in every di
rection for Gray, but he beyond doubt has
Jofi. the city. Detectives have guarded all
t he approaches to Canada and the police
of all the towns and cities in this part of
(he state have been notified to look out for
the defaulter. He may possibly be traced by
his turn out. Gray is fifty-five years old.
He wears a dark mustache, tinged
with gray, and the top of his head
is slightly bald, his hair is streaked with
grey and he brushes it so as to cover his
baldness. His neck and hands are much
sunburned. The officers say he has gone
empty-handed, the money lie took having
been spent during the year he was specu
lating and keeping a yacht. He is assess

A MEETING OF THE CABINET.
The cabinet sat to-day from noon till
two o’clock. The queen’s speech wae con
sidered and approved. The Afghan diffi

that Col. Ridgeway, of the British-Afghan

THE GOVERNMENT’S IRISH POLICY.
Gladstone will neither initiate nor pro

Ireland in the debate or tlie address in

acquiesce in tiiis decision. Although tlie |
speech from the throne will not indicate |
Salisbury’s Irish policy, it is understood ;
that either Lord Randolph Churchill or '
Sir Michael llicks-Beaeh during the di- I

such intimation as a sufficient pledge for

El Paso, Texas, August 17.—Copies of
the official court record of the Cut ling trial
arrived hero yesterday from Chihuahua.
This document puts an entirely new face
on the Cutting case, inasmuch as it states
that the crime for which Cutting is now
under sentence was committed on Mexican
soil by the circulation of the El Paso Her
ald in Paso del Norte. Leading lawyers
here adndt Mexican jurisdiction over Cut
ting if these are the grounds on which the
sentence was passed, but the news
paper men who understand Spanish
and who were present. at court
when sentence was passed and
Consul Brigham, who was present,
state positively that the court sentenced
Cutting for the publication in the El Paso
Herald. In fact Brigham asked through
tlio court interpreters whether the offense
for which Cutting hud been sentenced was
committed in the state of Texas and
Judge Zubin nodded in the affirmative.
In view of these facts it is asserted that
the oilieial record lias been doctored at
Chihuahua since the original position
assumed by the court has been shown to
lie untenable by the United .Stales. This is
, made stronger by the fact that the judge
lection will be held for tile full term. ] refused to give out the record until after

Atlanta, August 17.—Yesterday the
resignation of Hon. Thomas W. Grimes,
as solicitor-general of the Chattahoochee
Circuit, went into effect, and to-day the
A. A. Carson, as solic-
irded from the executive
commission is until the
meeting of the legislature, at which time
check cashed at his local bank, but out of
a lingering suspicion he arranged to pay
the fofi tlie next day, but the money was
not called for. The draft purported to
be drawn by llartridge, Hon & Co.,
of Savannah, upon the bank
of America, of New York and was en
dorsed by the latter bank, “no account.”
The swindler in his dealings with Short-
ledge gave the name of William M. Law.
A Fredericksburg paper of a recent date
i describes a swindle perpetrated upon
\ Father Donahue, of that plnce, by much
the same means. The description of the
Fredericksburg swindler corresponds with
that of the Media swindler, but in Fred
ericksburg his name was William H. Swal
low. The endorsement on the draft given
Shortledge bears evidence that the swin
dler started to write his name William H.,
lmt altered the “II” to an “M.” At Media
Law represented himself to be the post
master of Savannah, and that he was a
frioud of General Gordon, whoso son he
also wished to have admitted to the
school. The Fredericksburg man repre
sented himself as editor of the Southern
Bivouac. He was also traced to Washing
ton, and the police hero have been looking
for him for two days.
