Unexpectedly forced to again address you.
Since November a single question has occu
pied tho attention of tho Houso of Commons
anti the country. It relates to tho
future government of Ireland, nnd 1
consists of two hills, which weto thrust
upon l’arlinmout nml tho country by the j
Government. Ono of those hills was re
jected; tho other was withdrawn. We are I
not told by Mr, Gladstone or Ills colleagues I
how much or how little of those unfortunate |
proposals will reftppear iu the next Parlia
ment. dVo are nsked to pledge ourselves to
a principle which may bo imto out or most
dangorous, as may bo explained in future
hills.
I cannot give such a pledge. The experi
ence of the past throe months has not in
creased my confidence in tho w isdom of tho
Administration or in Its policy respecting tho
future government Of Irelaud. Wo htlvo be
fore Us a principle which Mr. Gladstone nnd
his supporters do not explain. I will not

Tho reasons that influenced M. do Freyci-

own words. In n rerout spec h in tl.o Cham
ber of Deputies ho contended thnt the

tho very fact that they roj resented an ex-

living ir.-.mise of a Government different
from that existing, and tended to weaken
and discredit it. No Government, ho said,
could ovor tolerate such n state of things. Ho
considered thnt tho danger to tho Republic

there must lie action ngainst

a second government waiting to take its
place. Tho Idea is especially diffused abroad.
I am not afraid of the material but only of
tho moral effoet of this occult government.”

No Irish Parliament can 1m, so powerful or

nnd interests of Ireland, north or south, to
the Irish Parliamentary party, to whom tho
Government now propose to make a general
surrender. My six years’ experience of them
ami their language iu tho House of Commons
nnd their deeds in Ireland makes it impossi

A PHENOMENON.
An Oily Scum along tlio Smith Carolina
Coast ItilliiiK Thousand* of Fish.
Tho people in the vicinity of Raleigh, N.
(j are perplexed over a phenomenon that is
observed along the southeastern coast of the
Stato. An oily scum on tho water
extends for several miles out to sea
nnd affects the rivers for a long dis
tance inland, making the surface smooth
and calm. Fish are dying by thousands and
floating like chips on the surface of tho water.
It is supposed that they are poisoned by this
oilv scum, hut whence tho distroyer comes
nobody knows. A suggestion that a ship
loaded with oil may have foundered in tho
vicinity isscouted, because, from Lockwood s
Folly all the way to Little River, tho scum is
found and the coast is strewn with the dead
fish all the way. In tho salt water about
Bhallotte nnd Tnbb’s Inlet are immense
auautities of tho doad fish of every kind,. and
it is feared that there are no live fish loft in
A fire which occurred in Boston on the
nftornoon of the 21st resulted in tho death
of a number of workmen and the destruc
tion of tho largo Institute Fair building.
This structure was erected in 1881 by the
Now England Manufacturers’ and Me
chanics’ Institute nt a cost, exclusive
of Ilia laud, of about 01,000. The
building ha 1 about oight acres available for
exhibition purposes. The property was sold
recently to tho Metropolitan Street ltnilwny
Company for $300,000, including tho laud.
Since then it hns beon used for a car repair
simp nnd storehouse forcarsnot required for
immediate use.
Tho rapidity with which tho flames
spread was appalling. Workmen sought
to save their tools nul lost hair and skin
before they could get out of the building.
About 100 cars, many of thorn newly
varnished, was tho material on which
tho flames were feeding. r l ho great barn-
liko structure was so full of Homo that tho
very walls wore blown out. Firemen
tried to turn their streams through the win
dows, but the water seemed to add to the
fuel, and they could only savo surrounding
property. Workmen on the opposite side of
the building from the point of origin had al-
j most as great difficulty in making their es-
i cape as did those nearer the first burst of
i flame.
it was in the east end of tho building,m the
I carpenters’ shop, that tho most heartrending
tragedy occurred. The wiudows, for some
| unaccountable reason, were covered with
i s Teens mado of qimrter-meh wire, and to
this cause must lie attributed tho loss of sev-
! ernl livos of tho imprisoned workmen,
j Ono poor follow succeeded in forcing
a hole through tho wire barrier with
| his foot, which became entangled and he was
1 burned to death in full view of the crowd,
! his body falling within the furnace. A man
was driven out of the window of tho second
! story by the flames. Ho was about to leap,
I had put one leg ovor tho window sill,
when tho roof above fell in and
pinned him fast where he was, No
ladder company had arrived, and
tho crowd of a hundred or more men oulsido
woro powerless to render assistance. The
(lames followed almost instantly and the im
prisoned man perished in agony before the
horrified eyes of his friends below. Two of
his fellow-workmen, John McNulty nnd J.
F. Fallen, were terribly burned trying to
scale tho wall to reach their dying comrade.
His sufferings were mercifully short. The
awful furnace of (lane soon wrapped
him about in fire and smoke and his last mo
ments were shielded from tho sight of the
spectators. Not long after tho wall itself
gave way and nothing more was seen.
At first it was thought about fifteen livea
had been lost, but a search among the ruins
revealed the bodies of only six men. The
pecuniary damage is about $250,OF"

A London representative of tho Now York

"I verily beliove,” ho said, “thntovou Lon-

It wns an open-air mooting composed

“You nmy say from me to our American

gradually withdrew from the immediate
vicinity of the yards.
FIIEPAIUNO TO MOVE TnAINS.
Preparations for a determined effort to
move trains on the Lnko Shore were per
fected by the officials of the roud Sunday.
They wore somewhat elated by the sut -
cess attending tho efforts of Cnpt. Hunt,
of the llyde Park police, in protecting
the train Which was taken out Into Satur
day evening, and (lie fact that so many
arrests of strikers and their sympathizers
had been made. On the other linnd (lie
strikers presented a hold front. They
renewed their determination to stop the
movement of nil freight trains, at nil
hazards. They still profess not to bo
responsible for the trouble of Saturday,
ana ft fewafd hns been offered for the
discovery of the mnn who “cocked” the
switch. Shortly nftef six o’clock Moo
dily morning Billy Pinkerton, in charge
of a large number of special police, wore
taken to the town of Lake. On their
nrrlval there they were sworn in ns spe
cial officers. Thirty switchmen, to toko
the places of the strikers, were also scut
down. About a hundred special police
arrived in n spcciul train of three cars at
8:30 and were also taken to Forty-third
street. A dozen or more imported
switchmen were also on board.
WAhNrNO THE STRIKERS.
There wns an under current of excite
ment nnd suspense that boded exci
ting developments during the day. The
town of Lake detectives started through
tho yards repeating the following formula :
“All you people must move. Do not
congregate in groups on tho trucks or
crossings, or we will be obliged to take
means to disperse you, and wo will do
it, too.*'
The crowd moved back surlily nnd
' momentarily increased in numbers.
Home resistance was shown in moving off
Root street, and ono man was severely
disposition. ' beaten by a policeman. The excitement
i moot Mr. Lincoln’s earlier appointments rapidly lucrensed, and by nine o clock the
was of Judge Davis, who, in 1862, wnsnom- crowd wns ready for anything. Shortly
state thnt they believe the strike is onded.
A bill was filed on Monday in tho
United States circuit court, nt Chicago,
by tho Lake Shore road, asking for nn
injunction against tho striking switch
men.
