Since November a single question has occu pied tho attention of tho Houso of Commons anti the country.

Tho Idea is especially diffused abroad. I am not afraid of the material but only of tho moral effoet of this occult government.” England more than on account of Ireland. No Irish Parliament can 1m, so powerful or just as tho united imporinl Parliament nt Westminster. I cannot Inlrust tho peace nnd interests of Ireland, north or south, to the Irish Parliamentary party, to whom tho Government now propose to make a general surrender.

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" Government opened his lips to oxpiwo and condemn tho wrongs of Irelaud 1 spoko for her peoplo in tho liou.-e of Commons ami on public platforms, it is iHicauso Iain still a friend of Ireland that I refuse to give her up to tho u to whom tho recently defeated bill would hnvo subjoctol her.

Sincerely nnd gratofully thanking you for your past kindness, I remain John HiiianT. A London representative of tho Now York TVi&iine has had nil interview with 5li luiol Dnvitt. This popular leader had just re turned from a great Homo Rule demonstra tion iu tho division of \Vo<t limn in the Knst End of Lon Ion, and was full of hi* subject. "I verily beliove,” ho said, “thntovou Lon- d*n itself would go for Home Rule. I ad dressed nn hour or two ago tho greatest meet ing of English workiuginon I over witnessed. It wns an open-air mooting composed of from 16,000 to 20,1X10 men, of whom there woro not 500 who were not bona fliio artisans cr laborers. Tho enthusiasm was simply amazing. Wh on tho meotiug was over a procession of 10,000 men, bendedny their bands, and cheering all tho way for Gladstone, Morley. Parnell and Home Rule, accompanied Mr. i.ieester, thu working- man member of Parliament, and myself from tho pla o of the meeting to the railway station, a distance of a couple of miles. Mr. Herbert Gladstone has just sent an enthusi astic telegram describing tho mooting to tho ‘Grand Old Man.’ “You nmy say from me to our American friends that after the vast meeting Inst night iu 8t. James’s Hall, hut more particularly after tho tremendous demonstration this evening, 1 feel convinced that Glad- s’one will carry a majority of the Loudon cent;, nnd London is almost ns much a position of strategy in n general eio tinn ns New York is iu a Presidential contest. There is no longer any question of Iho fact that the masses of the people are with Gladstone in hia fight, nnd when I add my knowledge of popular feeling in Wales, Scotland and the English provinces to the testimony wo have from London itself, I feel the strongest hope that the British democracy will carry Homo Rulo to victory with a decisive majority." police, knocked ono of the men down, lie is the only person reported to have sustained any serious injury. Tho crowd 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. LUITP0LD MADE REGENT. ' but tho immediate eauso of Judgo Davis’s death was Bright’s disoaso of the kidney*, aggravated by a weakened condition of the system dating from tho timo when hftbscams nfllictod with the carbuncle. His lost hours were culm and peaceful. David Davis, formerly (in Assoclfttd Jits tli o of tho United Hliito* Bupromo C >urt,nn<l u Senator from Illinois, was a nntivo of Maryland. Ho wns born in 1815, and nt tho date of hisdoalh was in tho seventy-second yenr of liN ago. ills father was a wealthy larmir.

Hu was elected as nn Inde pendent through the votes of the Dem ocrats nml a nutubor of nuti-Logan Republi can <. In 1872 Judgo Davis was nominated at Columbus a* the Greenback 1-nbor Reform candidate for President. It will be remem bered that though Judge Davis had expressed decided Greenback views, ho never definitely accepted or declined thu nomination tendered him. On Mnn li 4, 1883, Judgo Davis wns suo- (•coded hi tho Senate by ox-Govoruor Sholby \V, Cullom. Judgo Davis’s nppcarauce in tho Souato has lieon thus described: Ho weighs about 210 pounds. He usually walks to and irom tho Capitol, and moves uround the Semite chamber liko nn over grown s 'ho dboy. Ho hns a Roman east of features. His eyes are bluo, and aro shaded by bushy iron-grey evobrows. liis cheeks nro fringed with gray whiskers, and his lip is clean shaven. His head is thatched with straight gray hair. Ho smokos a meerschaum pipe wiih a long cherry stem ami nn amber mouthpiece. Hu is courteous in manner and a gonial conversationalist. No man is surrounded by more attached friends. He is plainly dressed, und has tho appearance of a well-to-do farmer. His favorite novel is “David Copperfleld,” though ho lias n great fondness for Thackeray and Walter Scott. Ho is not a church member, but ho usually attends Presbyterian services. Asa United States Senator his position was an anomaly. During a portion of liis term lie held tho balance of (lower. He was elocleil President pro tom of tho Seuato, nnd sorved ns such for about four yen’s. Mr. Davis did not tako a very active part as a debater, but wa* vigi lant in watching legislation. lie endeavored to secure a reorganization of tho federal judiciary, and his plnu is still being considered. Tho Senator was a man of strik ing physique, being tall of stature, large Thompson is said to be a man of ability i frame anil very corpulent, and to be in entire accord with tho nresi'- pret dent’s policy on public questions. lie lms been prominently identified with edu cational interests of liis state and is now serving out his second term as its gov ernor. lie has resigned that office and ex pects to be able to assume the duties of liis new office as soon as lie shall have been confirmed.
