republican friends will be careful to send defe~
gates to Vancouver who will insist upon the

the Republican candidates have been taken from
the Sound country. In early days this might
have been tolerated, bat aow that Walla Walla

NE% YoRK, March l5.-The TribUne's corresp.

that Government detectives are securing the
mountains and searching every house in Kerry
district. Sooner or later they will discover ev-
erv man connected with the late outbreak j. j.
0'Connor is the chief object Of their search.
Much sympathy is felt throughout the country
for 0'Conuor because of his gAllantry and hum.
anity. The Fenians of Kerry had committed no
excesses. They could have sacked, ravaged and
burned mansions Of the gentry, bat not one was
disturbed. Their fOrbearance has put a complete
stop to the outcry Of the loyal classes, that the
Fenian project meant robbery arson and mur-
der. Not a single act of criminality bad been
committed at Killarney, after the police fed,
leaving the town at the mercy of the Fenians.
The excitement at the headquarters of the
Fenians is unabated. An important commun-
cation was received to day from the Executive
officers of the Irish Republic, announcing that
war has commenced in earnest, and that the
movements so far are merely feints &c covef
more i'm Portant ones, which will be made before

An AntidOte for Strychnine.


Mr.. EDITOR Sn noticed 10 your pa
per yes terday, that family in Milwaukee
had been poisoned by strychnine. The fre-
auent occurrence either from accident or de-
sign, and the rapidity with which death
follows the administration ofthis poison,
calls for an antidote; one not confined to
the medical practice, but one known to
every body-in every house, and always at
hand. That desired remedy was accidently
discovered by my friend DIR. Tewksbury. of
the city of Portland. in the State of Maine
Being called to child in spasms, he learn
killing rats were in the house, and suspect
ed the cause of the spasms. On the mo
ment of mental effort for relief his eyes
rested on bottle of camphor dissolved in
spirits; he instantly gave a teaspoonful, the
effect was favorable, he repeated the dose
several times at intervals of two or three
minutes, and the child recovered. Soon
after he was called to another child in
spasms under similar circumstances; and
administered the same remedy with like re.
suit. He then experimental upon young
dogs and cats, giving enough strychnine to
cause death, and as soon as spasms appear
ed. gave the remedy. The animal soon re-
covered. He then gave double and treble
doses. followed by the antidote, with the
same results. He tried the experiment on
one animal several times in one day with
the same result. He then gave three, five
and ten doses each to one animal, accom-
panied with the antidote, without causing
death. To show that the poison was genu

mails, without the antidote, and they oil

WINTER SPORTS. The game OF base ball
has been laid aside until Spring, and the
sporting fraternity of our town are now en-
gagged in the invgorating exercise ofcoassing
on the ice. There are two big sleds and an
endless variety Of little ones almost constant
" scoo.ing down the street in front OF our
Office. A big sled, which the boys dubbed
"Nary Ellen" has held undisputed CEN
troll of the track; but rival, called F" Dex-
ter, I" has been put on the track, and its
bsckers think its steel runners will soon out
distance all competitors. Just now the RI
valry is warm. and the cheers OF the boys
when their favutite "Mary Ellen rushes
mast her rival like meteor, are decidedly
invigorating. -...
Not only the boys, but many staid men
are engaged in this exciting sport; ard when
ten or dozen get on one of these big sleds
tb.v 90 with tremendous velocity.
Itwas suggested few nights ago that
the whole party should call on the agent OF
the Columbus Accident and insure their
lives and limbs. gJ
