An Illustration Of the aggressive character
OF the kearney movement and the dread
his presence inspires was furnished about
month ago at a public meeting in Platt's
Hall, right in the centre OF the principal busi-
ness street. The hall had been engaged and
a meeting called to consider the best meas
ures to be adopted in opposing the pur-
chasing by the City Fathers of the water
works that now supply the city. About
six hundred of the most substantial
business men and property holders
had signed the call for the meeting,
and, as Is usual on such occasions had their
resolutions all prepared and the names Of in
huential citizens ready to submit as an active
committee to take the proper measures to
prevent what was believed to be premedi-
tated steal from the city OF about 81, ,0OO, 900.
The hall was densely crowded, holding prob
ably about two thousand persons and of
hundred and twenty-five of Kearneys fol-
lowers, yet in the boisterous din and clamor
for Kearney he was actually chosen
men who had called it were brushed
aside, their resolutions and the names of their
committee were cried down and the papers
torn up before their eyes by Kearney. 1t was
the most disgraceful public meeting ever held
in this city, and its liberation can only be ac-
counted for on the ground that the best por-
tion OF the audience saw at glance that il
violence had once commenced there would
have been fearful loss of life. Kearney, of
course, rests his justification on the claim
that it was the will OF the meeting that he

RumOred Break in the Democratic
Ranks-Tactics OF the Democrats.

New YORK, May 1.-THE Suns Washing
ton special says: rumor last night was
traced to reliable source that movement
is on foot to break the Democratic ranks to-
day. The Republicans say that there are
from fifteen to twenty-five Democrats who
will bolt. One man says he has been ap-
preached on the subject. He declined to 60
into details, and will not say who approached
him.
Hart, of the Thirtieth District, New York, is
the man who approached the Democrats with
the proposition to bolt and help the Repub-
licans to vote down the Potter resolution.
He has not the courage to lead such move
ment, and will doubtless vote with his party
when the pinch comes.
He will, however, have to face the music
to-day. There will be call of the House, and
if there is not q quorum on the regular order
seconding the previous question on Potter s
resolution, the Democrats will order the doors

An Exciting Session Over the News From

LONDON, May 17-In the House of Com

rotary with his supineness in not employing
the forces at his command in suppressing
these riots. Had they occurred in Ireland,
said the member, twenty-four hours would
not have elapsed before the military had sup
