Dublin-, October 24.—Two Scotch members of parliament sent to Ireland by the Scottish liberal association to assure the people of their sympathy, have arrived at Mitchellstown, where they were met with an enthusiastic re ception. Sir Wilfred Blunt and Mr. Roche, a poor law guardian, who were arrested at Woodford yesterday, wore taken from Loughrea jail to Woodford today under a strong escort. At the Station they wore met by Messrs. Rowlands and Sheehy, members of parliament, who ]c<l the procession and band which followed th ■ prisoners to the courthouse. Both prisoners were remanded until tomorrow for hearing, Sir Wilfred Blunt refused to give bail, and was again Rent to jail. London’, October 24.—The Times expressed the Lope that Sir Wilfred Blunt, who was ar rested at Woodford, County Galway, Ireland, yesterday, will be treated as one of the publi cans, or “G. O. M. beer men,” who usually do work for the national league. The 1 >aily News says in reference to the ar rest of (Blunt: The coii'lu i of the government was absolutely lawless, the meeting at Woodford having been call ed by the English home rule association.

Canon Brothers,whose hi rnion was interrupted by a mob which in s ailed the cdilire, test ilied that the prisoner, who had previously been noisy, shouted, when the sermon was commenced : “Suri under half your salary, you old , and then benefit the poor.” When the police removed him ho kicked and struggled and made an uproar. Badgett was fined live pounds. Chamberlain to Vihit America. London, October 25, - I'he foreign oflice has issued a circular announcing that Mr. Cham berlain will depart for Washington early in November, and w ill he accompanied by Mr. Borgne, superintendent of the treasury de partment, and Mr. Maycock, another attache of I he. foreign oflice. A m(i ling was held at Islington today in honor of Joseph Chamberlain. Resolutions were adopted expressing satisfaction at his ap pointment to the fisheries commission, and tru t that he would be successful in his an nounced intention to promote harmony and good will between flic I nited States ami Eng land. Mr. < liainberlain repin <1 that lie appre ciated this reference to the honorable and im portant mission upon which he would embark in the course of a lew days. He was will aware that the. task wr.s full of difficulty. The question was a complicated one. and it in volved enormous interests.

Sources of statement might be tainted, yet it repn sented undoubt edly the fact that Irish-Americans were r< ady to use every effort to prevent a settlement. There had never Li en a time during the last thirty years, when tlio Irish in America had not been willing to use the privileges conceded to them by their adopted country, in order to sow di seiitson ami promote ill feeling between Great Britain and America. [Hoar, hear.) Moro than once they had shown their readi ness to jeopardize the best interest of their adopted country in order to to avenge real or fancied injuries. Ho was not sanguino enough to antic ipate that on the present occasion they would change their policy, but he was encouraged by the belief that a vast majority of native Americans [cheersj and every Englisliman and Scotchman in the united kingdom would regard a fratricidal contlict between the two countries as a crime of the deepest dye.

Bayard, Secretary of State. HOW IT WAS DONE. From Washington Star. In the mountainous region of one of the southern congressional districts the people are most ly honest church-goers, and are very severe as to morals. r l liey cannot countenance anything that looks like dee .it or corrup: O *, but they are strong partisans and get much wo ked up in their way over the local elections. Tiie district is democratic, of course, but at the last congressional election it was pretty cl.do betuv nti e two opposing candiuates. The men t liked politics while bitching their hordes about the church door on Sunday, mid stood about a long while after the sen i es di. cussing the situa tion. The deacons and Sun lay s -lrml tetv.-hers, and the pillars of the cLur< h e nerally w *:e friends of the gentleman ultimately ele 01. w.o<no ? el the reputation ot a strictly mo : J and con.v ientious man, being something us a religious exhorter us w ell as a politician. When this chii lidate came into the eonntiy jus before the elofc i»f the campaign, there was a gen eral a v sembliu ; of the leading deacons mid church men to meel him. They came quietly nt nqiht to t! o lift’e inn where he stopped, mil they were headc I by “Deacon Abe,” who was head an I front of all ni itters of chinch and s » o They assembled in the general reception and all-round room, w here tin le was a Lure tlo »r, a few pine < hnirs mid a stove in the middle ofthe room, surround- d by a sawdust spit lo<. They were tober and decorous about the po-C e lings, and they curried anmng them a pair of s.'i ? leather: addletiags. Tne ca.-■! l</. . who had r -tiie I. was aroused by the landlord, and as he got out of bed l.e found the saddlebags on the iloor of his bedroom, where they had been conveyed by Deacon Abe. They were heavy to lift, and there wr.s a metallic rattle as the ctuulidat? shoved them under the l ed. They sat to-ether in the big ro un.a id talked over lhe < rops mid the cattle mid the rci airs to the me-’ting house. Then they taike.l of the election, and grndunly drifted around to the question closest to their hearts. “Bill," said Deacon Abo, addressing the candidate, “you air an honest, conscientious man. We nil know yon woul-ln’l do nothin' that w ere like cor ruptin’ of votes, and nothin’ that weie calkerlated t> make a. fnc cn citizen and a moral Christian ter feel like he couldn’t road the declaration of In dep u leme with a clearc mscieiu o.

TIIE NATION'S CAPITAL President Cleveland Issues His Proclamation. COMMISSIONER LYMAN INTERVIEWED Wasjttngtox, October 25.—Civil Service Commissioner Lyman, who has just returned to the city, was interviewed by an associated press reporter today. In reply to inquiries by the reporter, Mr. Lyman said that he had read Mr. Oberly’s tetter to the Illinois association and the reported interview with Air. Edgerton on the points raised and discussed in that tet ter, and that in the main his views coincided w ith those Mr. Oberly. He regarded asso ciations of the character of the Illinois associa tion, whether composed of democrats, republi cans, labor reformers, temperance advocates or what not, as very objectionable, if not illegal, and certain to a greater or less extent to de moralize the public and to defeat one object of the civil service law, viz: To secure a non partisan service within the sphere of the opera tion of that law; a service non-partisan in fact, and non-partisan in attitude and action, in which partisan politics as a trade shall have no place. “Once concede,” ho continued, “that adhe rents in the public service of the party in power may organize themselves in an associa tion for the purpose of maintaining that party in power, and under the impartial action of the civil service law, the right must also be conceded to those in the service opposed to the party in power to organize themselves into as sociations for the purpose of overthrowing that party and driving it out of power. And when all parties are thus organized, and members of the associations of each are actively engaged in endeavors to oust from the service members of the associations of the others-for that is just the direction their activity will take, sooner or later, no matter what their profession—what a spectacle will be presented to the gaze of the country. The bare possibility of such a condi tion of things resulting from the organization of partisan political associations in the public service is enough to condemn the whole move ment, and should secure its instant abandon ment.” Upon the subject nf assessments or contribu tions fur political purposes, he said: “Such associations cannot be maintained without money; and the payment of money in the shape of dues, or otherwise, by their members, who are in the public service, to the treasurer, also in that service, would be a clear violation of section 14 of the civil service laws and the receipt of every such payment of money or other valuable things by such treas urer, would be an equally clear violation of section 11 of the civil service law’s. But it is claimed that money, or any other thing of value, may be paid to the treasurer who is not in the public service, without violating the law. This is pot so clear. The law provides: That no officer, clerk or other person in the ser vice of the United States, shall directly or indirectly give or hand over t<» any other officer, clerk or per son in the sei vice of the United States, any miney or otln r valuable tiling on acc< unt oi, or to be ap plied to the promotion of any political object what ever. Referring to Mr. Oberly’s recent order de ci i ring members of polititical committees in eligible for appointment on the board of civil service examiners, Mr. Lyman said: “If it is objectionable for employes in the classified civil service to organize themselves into partisan political associations, it is much more objectionable for members of boards of civil service examiners to be members of such associations, or of committees organized for political work. Members of these boards must be abso lutely free from any suspicion of partisanship in their action, a thing impossible, so long as they are active in such association or on such committees, and it is clearly the right and duty of the civil service commission to see to it that its boards of examiners are free from every just suspicion of partisanship in their composition or action.” Report of the Chief of the Bureau of Sta tistics. Washington, October 2G.—The printed re port of Colonel W. K. Switzer, chief of the bureau of statistics on wool and manufactures of wool, is now ready for distribution, and is considered by the bureau to be one of the most valuable documents it has ever nut forth. The report shows that the number of sheep in the United States rose from 19,000,000 in 1840 to 51,(MX),000 in 1884, but declined to 45,000,000 in 1887. This marked decline occurred mainly in the southern and western states, notably in Texas, and is attributed, in a great part, to the decline in the price of wool since 1884. The value of our woolen product of 1850 was $25,000,000 in round numbers, and of our im ports $19,000,000, both together being about one dollar and ninety-live cents per capita of our population. In LSiiO s:>9,<»0(),000 in value were produced and $45,000,000 imported, together bein" about two dollars and sixty-one cents per capita. In 1870 the product reached one hundred and ten million dollars, and the importations thir ty-five millions, being three dollars and seven ty-eight cents per capita. In 1880 the product had grown to one hundred and sixty-four mil liens and imports were valued at thirty-one millions, being three dollars and ninety-one cenis per capita. Thus, while our product of woolens has increased since 1850 nearly seven fold, our imports have increased about 62 per cent, but the consumption per capita has doubted, which the statistician says indicates in a striking manner the advancement of the w ealth and comfort in the style of living among the people of this country. THE STATE’S SHARE. Washington, Ojctober 24.—Decision was rendered by the supremo court of the United States today, in three eases of the United States, appellant against the states of Louis ana, Alabama and Mississippi. These were suits brought in the court oi claims by the states named to recover from the United States five percent of the net proceeds of sales of public lands within their limits, and also to recover indemnity for swamp lands purch ased by individuals, the proceeds of which were by statute directed to l»o applied, as far as necessary, to the reclamation of such lands by means of levees and drains. The United States main tain that the court of claims had no jurisdiction to determine a causa in which a state sued the United States; that part of . the claims were haired by the statute of lim itations; and that the United States was en titled to make a set off or counter-claim on ac count of unpaid direct taxes due from the states of Louisana, Alabama und Mississippi, under the act of August sth, 1861. The court of claims decided that it had jurisdiction ; that the disputed items were not barred by the statute of limitations; and that a set oIT or counter-claim could not bo allowed. This court a linns the judgment. Opinion by Justice Field.

October 29.—The stock market today was quiet to dull and transactions were of no spe cial significance, though the general drift of prices was upward. Bears were cautious al»out increasing their short lines, and bulls display a position to sup port prices, while outside influences amounted to notl.ing. Fluctuations were unusually narrow, in no case exceeding 1 per cent, and the extreme range of Reading, the most active on the list, was only % per cent. The market fluctuated the entire day in an extremely narrow range. In the last hour a slight reaction was followed by an advance, which left the figures generally at about the best of the d ty. The close was d ill but firm. The business amounted to 133,000 shares. Almost the entire ac tive list is higher, but the gains arc for insignificant fractions only, generally from % to % per cent.

Features of the Speculative Movement in Grain and Produce. Special to The Constitution. CHICAGO, October 29—There was less activity at the opening on ’change today than for a few days past, and the general tendency for grain and pro visions was downward. About the only feature in the wheat pit was the promiscuous unloading early in the day and purchasing by several operators. December, which opened at 73%c, under this influ ence eased oil' to 73} *073% —the closing figure. Re ceipts at 12 primary joints aggregated 737,000 bush els and shipments 301,500 bushels. Corn was fairly active at times, with the feeling weaker. The market opened at yesterday’s closing prices, declined with slight changes %®%c,|ncar|fu tnres showing greater weakness, changed some and closed %c lower for near futures and %c lower for May than yesterday’s closing prices. The weakness was due mainly to free offerings by one or two prom inent operators, whiih, with an absence of outside buying orders, the market ruled weak. There was considerable chaaiging of near futures into May. The shipping demand was less urgent, and prices for cash were %i‘?%c lower. May closed|at4s%c. Oats were steady, and a fair business was trans acted. Prices changed but slightly from yesterday’s range. Provisions opened strong in sympathy with the hog market, and yesterday’s prices were tempora rily sustained. I.nter speculative offerings were considerably enlarged, and a weaker feeling was de', 1 >ped, accompanied with decline in prices, es- P<c.ally for deferred deliveries. The prospects of larger receipts of hogs next week, weaker com mar ket and free selling packers were the leading causes contributing to tn® weakness. The demand was only ino'.ieiHte and chiefly from shorts. Receipts were light and shipments quite liberal. January m -'] oi kop ned al 812.62%. sold at 512.650512.40, closing at the Inlier figure.
