London, Maioh 17. — Mr. Gladstone de
livered a epceoh at a dinner last night, giv
en by Yorkshire members of the House of
Commons. He began by referring to his
belief that there was a growing opinion in
favor ot home rale even among its former
Opponents. He counselled Lord Salisbury
to waken from bis sleep if be wished to
fanfah his ntghtmirr. The Prtmier, how-
ever, said Mr. Gladstone, appeared deter
mined to remain asleep. Mr. Gladstone
msintatnid that It was impossible to deal
with other qUMtlona until the Irish oneatinn
bad been cleared out of the way. He said:
“I wish to aay a word regarding what I con
ceive to be my obligations toward different
tatties and tho elections we have deal with,
n starling, we are agreed that Ireland
asks effective self-government in
affairs properly and exclusively Irish,
subject to the ucqueitlcnal suprem
acy of the Imperial parliament.
Should she extend her demands beyond
this limit, I frankly tell you I could no
longer promote her cause, but, but so long
as the demands she utters arejnstand
within the bouods of moderation, I will
stand fast to her cause during what re
main! to me ot my political life. [Cheers.]
It fa our duty to acknowledge whatever ap
proaches the Conservatives make toward
recognition of the real statu of facts and
of prospeo s before ns. Major Saunders in
recently said that the settlement of tho
Irish question mast emanate from the Irish’
irople. That statement fa eminently sat-
sfactory. It proves that even in tho minds
of extreme teen there is a movement in
tbo tight direction. Wo should
leave open the way for the Con
servatives to pursue the right poiict
in this matter. I bad licpcd they would
deal liberally with Ireland, but they missed

Drnuw, March 16.—In tho Bankruptcy
Court to-day Father Keller, of Yougba),
County Cork, was called to testify respect
ing bfa action ns a tiavtce under tho plan
of campaign. He was absent. Testimony
was then given that a summons to appear
had been served m the priest, that he re
fused to receive it, and that Mr. Harring
ton, who waa present, took tho summons
and threw it out of a window. At the Har
lan inquest at Yougbal to-day, Mr. Har
rington asked tho inspector of police if the
statement made in thu House of Commons
last evening by Mr. Balfour,
chief secretary for Ireland,
that twenty-one out of twenty-two police
men engaged in tbo work of serving the
first summons on Father Kellor wero in
jured in tho riot which resulted, was true.
The inspector replied that hut three of the
polic -mcn wero injured. Ho added that it
was not he that sun-ii.d Mr. H.tlfoor with
the report, but Captain Flunkatt, the mag-
i Irate. The witness was unable to ssy
whether he had reported to Captain Plank
ett that 21 poliot-men had been injured, bnt
he swore that Mr. Balfour's statement via
untrue.

Cuarlie Coulter, who wont over the range
mi Sunday, pierced by fourteen builtts
fi od by tbe citizens ot Cornado, waa well
known throughout tho West as ono of tbe
original co*boya and a dtsuorato oharaotf r
when under tbeinllaeoco of liquor. Coulter
waa a oowboy from infancy. He drove tbe
fi «t big herd of cattle up tbo Santa Fo trail in
1867, when cowboys were known as cow-
pnncLcrs, and did not include theological
htndcnts and diplomats. Coalter, who was
a fi io specimen of manhood, was, like all
gnat characters in Amcricsn history, a
tuiaroansn. Ho was six feet one tuih in
height and weighed 210 pound*. lie is the
fuurtu of hi* family to uio with bU raw
hi.1c* on, although hut ho been at
ordinary man ho would havo cashed
in a good many year* sgo. Ilis fa
ther and two brother* died on their
feet, aud the last male of the race R signu
Urly a victim of consumption and likely to
die at any moment. Conlter began his ca
reer at fifteen in tbo saddle, ohaning steers,
and this was hi* oox ugation during life, ex
cept for about two years when he cast
hi* fortunes with tho Jsmes*Yonoger
crowd. He did. not like tho bruincs-i
of holding up stage concur« and
railway trains, bowtver, and returned
to tbe cattle bn duets. When sober he was
a pleasant, iutffensive fellow, but when
drunk was detprrato to the extreme aud
would commit the rsshest of deeda, which
would cost other men their lives, lleknew
every foot cf the country from the MUaonri
to the Montana ranges, and had many re
markable adventures.
On ono occotion ho became involved in
row in a Dodge City salocn, and fougl
thirl-, en men aud got away without injury.
Daring inis fight two men were either kiiird
or senousl) wounded. During this fight
Coulter introduced what is known a* the
b ck*action move- knocking one man down
and shooting aootberat tbe sime time. This
is done by bulking a man in front with tbe
stock cf a gnn, and shooting out in tho
rear. After this row tho friend* of some of
tbo men who were Injured started ont to
kill Coulter, bnt failed to come up with
him. For a year or two he was very quiet,
and then sprang np at Wallace, by “round
ing up” the to ah and holding it for two
da a with four companions.
Daring tbis raid Coalter walked into a
•mull eating §»1ood, frequented by railway
men, as a young consumptive was eating a
“graveyard stew,'' as milk toast is called in
that section. Tbe young fellow was re
clining against tbe wall and had raised a
spoon to lU month when Coulter nhotit
ont of bis band. Tbe young fellow turned
to fi-.a wten Coulter railed ont to him to
stop and placing him near the wall made a
compute profile of bis body with bullets,
