GLADSTONE IRELAND’S FOE.
Manifesto of the National League’s
Executive Committee.
The T lome Rule Bill a Mutilated Skel
eton Which Only Serfs Would Ac
cept The Place of Ireland Not at
the Feet of England—House of Lords
Not an. Unmixed Evil—Emulate the
American Patriots, and Declare Ire-
Land's Independence to the World.
Strong Arraignment of the Grand
Old Man, Who Is Pronounced ‘'Per
nicious.”
New York, Sept. 10.—The exectivo
crxnmittee of the Irish National League
of America has issued the following mau
ls sto in regard to the home rule hill and
it s rejection by the House of Lords:
“To Irishmen and Friends of Ireland:
"When the home rule proposals of Mi"
* Gladstone became known we addressed
you, giving our opinion of his hill and
warning Irishmen against the acceptance
of its provisions.
OX HEH KNEES FOIt A CRUMB.
We had no faith then in the work of
Mr. Gladstone. We looked upon it as a
chimerical something to lead the. fool
farther, aud we were sorry to see our own
people playing the weaker part, in the
greatest farcical comedy of the age.
“The bill submitted to the House of
Commons was practically worthless. The
imposition on our country' of the muti
lated skeleton, just rejected by the House
of Girds would have been an outrage,
and the serfs who would accept it with
thanks would irferit the scorn of the
nations. It was a sorry spec
tacle —Ireland, after her struggled cen
turies, on her knees for a crumb.
PERNICIOUS INFLUENCE OF GLADSTONE.
“We have no hesitation in declaring that
no more pernicious influence has been at
work among onr people than the influence
of Mr. Gladstone in recent years. The
spirit of Irish nationality was beingstead
ily destroyed by the influence fostered by
a designing agency, which prefers a West
Britain to an Ireland. The people were
daily becoming more and more West
Britained, and erstwhile patriots more
English than the English. Let us hope
that the spell has passed away, and that
our people will once more recognize that
their place is not at the feet of England.
In that event the House of Lords may not
be an unmixed evil.
WILL BE FLAYING YOU FALSE.
“You will now. doubtless, bo told by the
professional agitators that the rejection
of the home rule bill by the House of
1 Lords is a mere temporary setback; that
I after Gladstone has passed two or three
I British measures it will again be sent to
■ the upper house, and tiiat then, on its de-
I feat, the grand old man will go to the
■ country and be swept back to power on a
f great tidal wave of popular indignation
f “gainst the lords. 'These men will
be smiply playing you false.
GLADSTONE WILL BE DEFEATED.
“Gladstone, whether he appeals to the
country this year or next, will, in the
opinion of those thoroughly acquainted
with the situation, lie defeated at the
polls, and the men who would still keep
their hands in your pockets know this.
On the home rule question alone he is cer
tuin of defeat, but his shirking of the
direct issue by linking an unpopular local
option bill and other measures to the
home rule bill will insure a sweeping ma
jority of the tories. Don’t for a moment
imagine that the British people are will
m gto give home rule to the Irish.
NO HOPE FOII HOME RULE.
‘Among the most ardent followers of
Gladstone, with the possible exception of
John Morley, there is not a tnan whom it
interests. Even Lord Rosebery admits
that home rule is to him only a means
projected to enable the liberal party to
escape the enactment of coercion laws or
the disfranchising of Ireland. Are you
willing, therefore, to still play the part of
dupes?
ONE GIGANTIC STRIKE FO* LIBERTY.
“It appears to us that the time has
come when the Irish race the world over
should be entitled to one gigantic move
ment, for the liberty of Ireland. It has
the power to strike the chains from the
motherland, if it only had the will.
< -rcat conventions of Irishmen from all
countries, we think, should be called and
a plan for united action formulated and
adopted. At such a convention the ex
ample of the American patriots might
>e emulated, and a declaration of Ire
land s independence be given to the
world.

NEARLY ANOTHER SCARE.
Cold, the Result of Exposure, Erro
neously Taken to Be Yellow Fever.
Brunswick,Ga., Sept. 10.—Justice W.B.
C. Coker came near causing trouble in
Brunswick to-day by stating that his son
had yellow fever. Dr. Guiteras pronounced
the report untrue, and gave this account of
its origin: He says J ustice Coker came to
his room this morning and stated posi
tively that his son, Jim Coker, had the
disease and contracted it on board the
steamer that carried the officials and
nurses to Sapelo recently, and stated that
lie had a carriage ready to carry Dr.
Guiteras to the patient.
COLD FROM EXPOSURE.
He immediately went, and upon seeing
the patient pronounced his sickness cold,
brought on by exposure, and stated em
phatically that it was not fever, and
wrong was done in spreading such a re
port. Returning to the hotel. Dr. Guite
ras sent for Mayor Lamb to report to him
the harmful effect of such a rumor being
spread without foundation. Mayor
Lamb was at his country home, but Sani
tary Inspector John P. Harvey re
sponded. and Dr. Guiteras laid the matter
before him with the request that he ask
Mayor Lamb to admonish any parties
that circulated such rumors.
THE JUSTICE COULDN'T BE SEEN.
Justice Coker could not be found this
afternoon for a statement, but ho prob
ably did not realize the harm he might
have done. The rumor was generally cir
culated and created a good dear of com
ment. Dr. Guiteras’ pro nipt investigation
and denial counteracted its effects. Had
it not been Sunday, and the telegraph
office closeand,
have got abroad aud caused trouble to
correct. a
Surgeon Magruder left to-day for St.
Helena, S. C.
LIBERIA’S COMMISSIONER.
He Thinks the United States and
France May go to War.
Pittsburg, Sept. 10.—Alfred Bendict
King, world's • fair commissioner from
Liberia, whose home is at Monrovia, was a
passenger on the Columbian flyer over tbe
Pennsylvania last evening. He had just
left Washington, where he had gone at
the instance of his government to inter
view President Cleveland and Secretary
Gresham respecting a matter that may
cause the United States and France to
lock horns in a dispute which will com
mand at least, the earnest attention of
the diplomats of both countries.
LIBERIA’S GRIEVANCE.
The commissioner in an interview said:
“I live in a country (and am official rep
resentative of my government) whiA, as
you know, is located on the west coast of
Africa. We have a grievance, and a very
serious one. France is notonly encroach
ing upon our territory, but has actually
absorbed considerable of it—both inland
and coast. Wo are an independent gov
ernment, but we are not strong enough to
cope with as powerful a nation as France.
I was instructed to visit Washington and,
if possible confer with the President and
the Secretary of State respecting assist
ance. I saw President Cleveland, but he
was so busy that our conference was
short. However, I had a long talk with
Secretary Gresham and explained the sit
uation in detail. He assured me that
our interests should receive attention as
soon as the Samoan affair is disposed
of.
CABINET MEETING IN CONSEQUENCE.
“The cabinet hold a meeting Thursday
concerning the Liberian matter, but I am
not at liberty to divulge the result. I
think, though, 1 can state eonsistantly
that the United States will espouse our
cause and ask the French people to keep
their hands off and retire from the terri
tory they have taken from us. Liberia is
settled by American negroes, and we are
in a prosperous condition. It is our in
tention to encourage immigration from
the United States, and a concerted move
in this direction will be made very soon.”
"Where are you from originally ?” was
asked.
“I was born a slave at Augusta, Ga.,
but escaped to Monrovia when I was 7
years of age.”
ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND.
Annual Reunion to Be Held At Cleve
land This Month.
Cleveland, Ohio., Sept. 10.—The ar
rangements for the 24th annual reunion
of the Society of the Army of the Cum
berland, to be held here on the 20th and
21st instant, are about completed. Presi
dent Cleveland lias sent a letter regret
ting his inability to attend the reunion
and expressing his “high appreciation of
the honor extended,'’ saying that it
would have afforded him much pleasure
to be present.
NOTED GENERALS TO BE PRESENT.
Nothing has been heard from Gen.
Roseerans, the president of the society,
but it is supposed he will be present.
Among the other notables who are coming
are Gens. H. W. Slocum, J. M. Schofield,
Jas. D. Morgan of Illinois aud D. S. Stan
ley of New York. Gen. G. S. Fulton of
Washington will be orator of the occa
sion.
WHERE IS HEP
Friends a Forgetful Train Dis
patcher Have Not Seen Him Since.
Fort Wayne, Ind., Sept. 10.—Fred
O'Conner, the train dispatcher whose for
getfulness caused the wyeck on the Fort
Wayne road in which a dozen lives were
lost, has not been seen by any of liis
friends here since, A few minutes before
he left the city he sent a message to the
coroner of Cook county requesting him to
release all the men lulu for the accident,
as all of them were entirely innocent, he
alone being to blame.
CATHEDRAL DEDICATION.
Ceremonious and Impressive Event in
Chicago Yesterday.
Chicago, Sept. 10.—St. Pius' church, at
Ashland avenue and Nineteenth street,
was dedicated to-day with grand and im
pressive ceremonies. A large number of
dignitaries aud prela res of the Catholic
faith were present, including Mgr. Satolli,
Archbishop Feehan, Archbishop Rior
dan of San Francisco, and the arch elder
of Cincinnati. The services were at
tended by 2,000 people.
Guilty, and Discharged.
Topeka, Kan., Sept 10.—It is under
stood that the verdict of the court
martial which tried Col. Hughes is
"guilty,” and that he is dishonorably
discharged from the military service of
the state, but Governor Lewelling. who
left for Chicago to-day, refused to con-,
firm the rumor. The verdict aud finding
will be made kuow to-morrow.
SAVANNAH, GA„ MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1K93.
ANOTHER WEEK'S ORATORY
Repeal May Not Reach a Vote Until
October Ides.
Some of the Big- Quss of the Senate to
be Heard-Senator Mills May Speak
To-day—Thirty-three Statesmen
Booked for Remarks; and That is
Not All—Several Will Occupy the
Floor for Two Days, Respectively.
The House at Sea, Though Much
Committee Business and a Few Re
ports May Fill in Time While it
Awaits the Senate.
Washington, Sept. 10.—The repeal bill
will continue to be the absorbing topic of
interest before congress this week. To
morrow in the Senate Mr. Teller may
conclude his speech, begun Saturday.
Notice of speeches to come have already
been given, sufficient to fill in the greater
part of the week, and others are known
to be in course of preparation; so that in
the absence of au agreement of some kind
there is no reason to believe that a vote
on the bill can be reached this week.
MU. MILLS MAT SPEAK TO-DAY.
Although he has not fixed definitely
upon the date of thedeliver.y of his speech,
Mr. Mills of Texas may follow Mr. Teller
in the debate. It is the current report
that he will advocate unconditional repeal,
and, as the senator comes from a strong
silver state and must thereby antagonize
a number of his constituents, his utter
ances will doubtless be listened to with
great interest.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon is down for
a speech Tuesday and may be expected to
deliver a strong argument from a free
coinage standpoint.
TUIBTY-THREE OK MORE TO SPEAK.
Senator Shoup of Idaho, will address
the Senate Wednesday in the same line,
and Mr. Hansbrough of North Dakota
and Mr. White of California 1 will follow
on the same day, if time permits, also
with fret! silver speeches. Thursday
Senator Daniel of Virginia will have the
floor for the beginning of his speech, pre
sumably for conditional repeal; and this
is as far as the programme of the Senate
lias been fixed.
Speculation is rife as to the length of
the debate now progressing. Thirty-three
senators are said to have arranged to
speak on the subject, besides which ten or
or a dozen more may address the Senate
before the close of the debate. Mr.
George' of Mississippi lias stated that ho
expects to speak about two days. Messrs.
Jones of Nevada and Daniel of Virginia
will each consume two days, and Messrs.
Morgan of Alabama and Stewart of
Nevada .will each speak one day.
Even if a compromise shall ultimately
be agreed upon, the final vote will not in
all probability be reached earlier than
about the first week in October. Some
senators are of the opinion that the de
bate will continue until the middle of
October.
THE HOUSE WITHOUT PLAN’S.
In the present unsettled condition of
affairs, it is impossible to foretell what
will be the programme of the House of
Representatives for a week ahead, fact is,
no course of action has been laid out by
the leaders, and they are satisfied to let
each session of the body take care of it
self. This state of tilings is likely to con
tinue until the Senate acts upon the re
peal bill pending before it, or the time
comes when the committees on appropria
tions and ways and means have
some proposed legislation formulated
for the consideration of the House. It is
expected that to-morrow the report of
the committee on accounts will be called
up for discussion. There is in this the
material for a debate that may last sev
eral days, for the minority recommend a
considerable reduction in the number of
committees to which clerks shall be al
lowed, and further, that all clerks except
those who are made annually by the
statute shall be paid for the session only.
It is hardly probable, however, that there
will be much of a contest over the mat
ter, nor that the radical change recom
mended by the minority will bo adopted
in the end.
FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.
Such a course would amount almost to
a revolution. The uudeviating tendency
of years past has been to increase and
not diminish the number of committee
clerks aud of clerks who are changed
from the session to the annual list. Eater
in the week, if it is possible for the com
mittee on election of President and Vice
President and representatives 'in con
gress to report the measure to the House,
one of the bills providing for the
repeal of the federal election law’s
may come up for consideration: but the
probabilities are against it. So too, the
bill introduced on Saturday by Mr. Ev
erett of Massachusetts, to modify tne
Geary law by extending the time lor the
registration from May, 5, It-93. to
Sept. 1, 1804, and in various other
ways alleviating the severity of the pro
visions of that measure. This bill is un
derstood to be an administration measure,
and early action is said to bedesit p d-
The committee on foreign affairs, to
which it has been referred, does not meet
until Thursday, so that, unless a special
meeting is called, a report upon it cannot
be looked for until the latter end of the
week. It is likely that after disposing of
the report of committee on accoun is the
House will take a three days' recess
while waiting for some matter to be put
in shape for action.
BANKRUPTCY Blu/fOBTHCOMINO.
Judge Culberson, the chairman of the
Judiciary committee, has called a meet
ing of that committee on next Tuesday.
Perhaps nothing will bo done then, ex
cept to organise; but it is certain that the
subject of a national bankrupt law will
be taken up in the near future. Col.
Oates basintroduccdagain the Torrey bill,
as perfected by the majority of the House
committee last winter, and Mr. Bailey, of
Texas, has introduced the much
briefer and simpler bill for
voluntary bankruptcy, which he
introduced into the last con
gress. An earnest effort is being made to
bring the two sides on the subject to
gether, and pass a bill similar to the Tor
rey bill in its machinery, but making less
stringent provisions a for involuntary
bankruptcy. There is a strong sentiment
in the House in favor of a bankruptcy
bill, but there seems to t>c a general ob
jection to having it include stringent pro
visions for forcing persons into bank
ruptcy against their consent.
'i he judiciary committee of the Senate,
as well us of the House, is favorable to
some national legislation on bankruptcy;
but it will be necessary for the friends of
the Torrey bill to modify the ‘definition of
what constitutes an act of bankruptcy in
order to secure favorable action. Senator
.Mitchell regards the provision for invol
untary bankruptcy when a person has
••suspended and not resumed for thirty
TTays. oi- until a petition is filed, while in
solvent, the payment of his commercial
paper for or aggregating 8500 or over." as
too drastic,and will urge its modification j
inathc Senate committee Some of the
strongest friends of the Torrey bill are
disposed to accept some compromise in
order to iusure the passage of the bill.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA JAG.
In ease of the “Palmetto’’ trade-mark,
’ a motion to have Commissioner Seymour
review the case was denied. The
patent Avals contain no method of
appeal from the ruling of the
commissioner of patents in trademark
leases. In patent cases an apjieal lies to
j the district court by special statute. It
is thought that proceedings by manda
mus will be instituted by South Caroliuu-
Reports have lieen received at the
treasury department showing that nearly
every lighthouse orstation on thecoast of
South Carolina AA-asdamaged by the re
cent storm. It is therefore probable that
the lighthouse board will ask congress to
make a special appropriation for immedate
repairs. Fortunately, the damage did not
extend above Hatteras, The lights iu
the Chesapeake bay stood the
severe gale admirably, and of the great
number none were seriously damaged.
Reports have not been received from some
of the remote stations in the south, but it
is not believed that any of the lights, ex
cept those neur Charleston have sus
tained much damage.
FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.
The democrats of the House expect to
take up the pro|>osition to repeal the fed
eral election laws the first thing this
week, and there will be an in
teresting fight over it. This fight
will, probably, servo several pur
poses. The democrats expect to accom
plish the repeal of the law. The debate,
which the introduction of the bill is sure
to provoke, will be of the strictest parti
san character,, and will serve to tighten
party lines very materially, and get the
majority in better humor with each other
and bring them closer together. Of late
there has been considerable division
among the democrats, and while their de
bates have never been acrimonious, it is
equally true that they have not been of a
character to promote harmony. But they
will not bo very apt to divide on this
question of the repeal of the federal elec
tion laws.
AS TO FILIBUSTERING.
Much lias been said about the power of
the committee on rules to prevent fili
bustering, and about the amout of cloture
now lodged with that committee. The
truth is, that while the provision ns to
the power of the committee to bring in an
order to stop filibustering is the same as
that adopted two years ago. it has been
adopted under different conditions. Then
it was agreed that it should not be taken
advantage of, unless petitioned for by a
majority of the democrats. Now. it is
understood that whenever it
seems necessary, the committee will re
port an order to stop those who would
block tin' progress of business and bring
the question under consideration to a di
rect vote. Even then it will not amount
to anything unless adopted by the House.
The committee on rules itself has no
power to bring about a vote. It can only
report a rule which cannot bo filibustered
against aud which, if adopted, wijl bring
on a direct vote,
DATE FOR THE NEW TARIFF.
Representative McCall of Massachu
setts has asked a hearing of the ways and
means committee on the subjeet.of fixing
a date on which the new tariff is to go
into effect. His district contains the res
idences of some, of the largest manufact
urers. railroad men and brokers in the
country, and they have been sending him
a great many letters suggesting that busi
ness would be on a much firmer basis if
it were known how long it is to be con
ducted under the old tariff, and when the
new rates are to go into operation. He
thought of introducing a resolution fixing
July 1. next, or Jan. 1.1895, as the date for
the change, but he finally concluded that
it wotfld be better to ask a hearing before
the committee; and this,Chairman Wilson
has assured him he shall have. It is tlio
impression among the democratic mem
bers that a bill can be framed to go into
effect on July 1, next.
CRASH OF TWO FREIGHTS.
Collision With Fatal Results and
Wreckage of Engines and Cars.
Findlay, 0.. Sept. 10.—At 6:45 this
morning two freight trains on the Nickel-
Plate railroad crashed into each other

Hundreds of the strikers attended the
funeral of one of their number killed in

EMPEROR WILLIAM'S TDl’lt.
Welcomed by the Burgomasters of
Metz and Carlsrnhe.
In His Boyhood His Hope Was That
Metz Should in Time be German—
His Intoroet Shown by the Purchase
of Hunting Grounds There- Will
Make a Longer Stay Next Time.
Received Enthusiastically at Carls
ruhe by the Grand Duke of Baden
and Albrech of Prussia Reception
by the Princess.
Metz, Sept. 10.— In replying to the ad
dress of the burgomaster of Strasburg
on the Brogile Platz yesterday the em
peror, after expressing regret at the
shortness of his sojurn in the beautiful
city, said: “When a hoy I prayed God
that Strasburg, for Avhich I always felt,
an especial sympathy, might again be
come German. Since then that wish has
been fulfilled. I treasure Strasburg as
one of the best German cities.
1 am confindent that the peo
ple of Strasburg are happy iu
the reunion. This conviction 1 have felt
so much the more on this occasion, as [
arrived here quite unexpectedly. My en
gagements prevent a long stay among you
now, but I hope in future to find an oppor
tunity for a longer stay without taking
you by surprise. I feel at home among
you. That is why I acquired a hunting
estate in your neighborhood, which will
soon bring me here again. Once more, I
thank you all forthis splendid reception.’’
A FARTING WORD.
When about to leave the station the
emperor, again addressing the burgo
master, said: “My dear burgomaster, I
heartily thank you. It was all splendid."
At the imperial dinner given in Metz to
the officers of the Fifteenth army corps
the emperor said, in proposing a toast to
the officers: “With m,v whole heart, l
wish prosperity to the Fifteenth
army corps and its leader. The
efficiency which the corps has displayed
proves how zealously, carefully and de
votedly the officers and men have worked,
and proves that tho ancient corps pre
serves its attachment to ancient tradi
tions, stimulated by the praise of ray
grandfather and by tho aims and paths
which he prescribed for us soldiers and
which be, himself, pursued.”
EULOGIZES THE GRAND DUKE.
The emperor eonduJed with a eulogy
on the inspecting officer, the Grand Duke
of Baden, whose .birthday it was, and
whose name tho emperor specially cou
pled with the toast to the health of the

master greeted the emueror with the fol
lowing address:
burgomaster’s address.
“This town welcomes the emperor in
the certain knowledge that the sharp
sword of empire rests in his hand, and
that he will never, unthinkingly, with
draw it from the scabbard, but will wield
it vigorously in ease of need for the eon
tinuaneeof the honor of the fatherland. In
international dangers this town will di
rect a glance of calm assurance to tho
guide of empires and destinies.”
tub emperor replies.
The emperor thanked the burgomas
ter, and added: "The anxiety which 1
felt in former years on coming to Cars
ruhe has vanished. Thank God, the
German people are standing firmly to
gether. They have done their duty to
me and their allies, and especially the
Grand Duke of lladen. It wus therefore

Might Quit At Noon.

weavers of this city, hold to-day, it was

THE GEARY LAW.
Pronounced a Hostile and Injurious
Law From the Pulpit.
Washington. Sept. 10. —Rev. A. Gilbert
Reid, a missionary recently returnod
from China, preached to-night at the
First Presbyterian church, of the congre
gation of which the President and Mrs.
Cleveland are members, on the relation
of the Chinese Mandarins to the mis
sionaries. In the course of his remarks
he referred to Representative Geary’s
statement yesterday that missionaries in
China were in parallel positions with an
archists in America and ought to be ex
pelled.
REBUKING REPRESENTATIVE GEARY.
Mr. Reid said: “I have been in Wash
ington several times and have conferred
with men of both parties from various
sections of the country, but this is tho
only discourteous remark that I have
heard concerning the welfare and inter
ests of missionaries. The larger portion
of missionaries in China are representa
tive men and women, delegated to their
work by regular certiorate societies in
this country. They are also doing a rep
resentative work and are seeking to bene
fit the people of China and show forth the
true and high character of our western
Christian civilization. When any one
openly confesses that he is the foe of his
fellow-American citizens, thus indorsed
for their character and the worth of their
work, the voice of protest should rise
against any hostile and injurious measure
that such a one may propose.”
TO AMEND THE GEART LAW.
Mr. Reid has prepared a bill to amend
the Geary law, which will lie introduced
to-morrow in the Senate by either Mr.
Hour or Mr. Hawley, and in the House
by Mr. Hitt. It projioses to make the
legislation on the Chinese question con
form with the treaties between the
United States and China. It provides for
a suspension of immigration of laborers
from the country until such time as both
the United States and China may deem
it advisable to restore it ; and also that
the Chinese who are nowhere should bo
registered, as provided in tho Geary law.
