Clubs, last evening, the question
as to sustaining Kearney or til,
State and County Committees, il
their plan for nominations to thu
Constitutional Convention came
up, and great division of sentiment
manifested itself. AS far as heart

will result in decided split in the
party, unless some means are founC
to close the rapidly widening

A Cock.aBd.nuii story.
SAN FRANCISCO May Last
Sunday afternoon when the last
steamer laden with Irishmen was
steaning down the bay on her trip
from the picnic of the knights of
the Red Branch, and when just OPP
posite the Russian Corvette, the
Irish national flag was run aloft,
the band struck up the Russian ma
tional anthem and the warlike pic
nickers Justify cheered. Quite I'M
eXpeciedly, the Russian man-of-
war instantly returned the salute
with rigorous courtesy as if it
had been offered by a flagship
of the allied navies of the world.
1t dipped the Russian flag and fired
a salute of twenty-one guns, and
the whole crew OF the Corvette
rushed to the side and heartily
cheered the Irish flag and the Irish
men under it. The Irishmen on
their part fairly cracked their
threats with the savage earnestness
of their counter cheers.
Tho Cocx.nnd-BniI story Denied.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The
officers of the Russian corvette
Craysser characterize as false and
absurd the statement that the Irish
flag was saluted by their vessel
with twenty-one guns Sunday last.
The facts of the case,
according to their statement,
are that the corvette was
firing salute in honor of
Easter Sunday, which by the Rus
sian calendar comes one week later
than with lis. The ferry steamer
with the Irish excursionists on
board passed at the time, and
the spirit of conviviality attendant
upon such occasions gave rise to
the cheers and the dipping of the
flag. The Craysser responded to
the compliment by dipping her own
ensign, which Is no more than is
customary in reply to such cour-
tesies from any craft.
