TIE CAUSE OF IRELAND.

st. Paul gave cordial welcome last night
to those able champions of the cause of suf-
fering Ireland-Messrs. Parnell and Dillon.
The extended report which the GLOBE pre-
sents this morning renders comment almost
superfuous. The welcome was made prac-
tical by raising about seventeen hundred
dollars for Irish relief. While Messrs. Par
nell and Dillon were recognized as the lead
ers in presenting the cause of Ireland, the
address of Bishop ireland was one of the
ablest presentations of the case which has
been made since the present afflictiou over
took that unfortunate people.
The demonstration made by st. Paul
leaves no room to doubt the warm sympa-
thy which is entertained for that suffering
people, and If our people could break the
chains of legislation which now load them
down, they would be riven in moment.
Such practical and outspoken manifestations
of sympathy, as we'll as severe condemnation
of the 81 stem which renders famine in Ire
land possible and periodical, will accom-
plish much in the way of public sentiment
to secure remedy. The mission of Messrs.
Parnell and Dillon will be productive of
more far-reaching results than can now be
foreseen, and not the least in the scale will
be the st. Paul demonstration of last night.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2f.-During the present
week, number of representative railroad men
have been in the city, and the fact has given
rise to various rumors and many conjectures
as to the object of their visit. To-day, w. A.
q. Loveland, of the Colorado Central; MIR. Gal
lup, of the Boston & Albany railroad; Judge T..
G. Sears of the Kansas Pacific, and
Gen. Howard, of the Boston Il Providence
railroad, arrived here. Latesthis afternoon it
was reported that a meeting of railroad mag
mates had taken place the night before, and
Col. Thos. Scott, of the Pennsylvania Central
railroad, who was called upon in regard to the
matter this evening, said it was true they had
a meeting at the Windsor hotel last night, and
that it's object was to harmonize, as far as pos
sible, all conflicting interests of trunk lines.
Messrs. Garrett, Jewett, Vanderbilt, Roberts
and himself were present. He said that there
was meeting to-day of representatives of
western lines in Chicago, and that the meeting
here last evening was to determine on the best
advice to send them on the subject of east
bound freights. We decided, said MT. Scott
to counsel them to abandon their fighting and
to agree upon system of equitable rates.

AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Representatives of all
leading Eastern and Western railroads met
here to-day, Commissioner Fink presiding. 1t
was decided to reduce the rate on grain and
-four East bound five cents per hundred pounds
beginning March LIST, and to make a similar
reduction on other articles, beginning
March 9Th. A class classification
was adopted in place of the present classes.
Tobacco was placed in a class by itself, the
twelfth. committee consisting of represen-
tatives Of Eastern trunk lines and their Western
connections was appointed to examine the
charges of cutting and report tomorrow. Va
rious changes of minor importance were made.
Rates on hogs were reduced five cents !per 100
and rates on all New England points were
made the same as those to New York. Rebates
were abolished. 1t is estimated that further
reductions in grain rates are not improbable.

REVENGE ON THE STUDENTS.


LONDON, Feb. ga Paris dispatch says the
inhabitants of st. Petersburg are beginning to
attribute to the students all the recent menaces
and crimes there. Threats are consequently
heard on all sides against the students, and the
inhabitants affirm if any criminal act occurs on
the anniversary of the emperor's accession to
the throne, they will hold the students respon-
sible, and will barn down the university and
lynch every student who falls into their hands,
The government, therefore, is now forced to
take measures for protecting the students.
EXPLOSION CANARDs CORRECTED.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. ga semi-official

the explosion. The emperor informed the en-
press of the explosion the day after it occurred.
No arrests have been made in the Winter palace
except those of workmen occupying the room
where the explosion occurred. Two carpenters
are still in custody who have been more or less
suspected of completely. Reports of whole
sale arrests in st. Petersburg are unfounded.

PROTECTING PosTMAsTERs FROM LOSSES.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Maxey, from
the committee on post Offices and post roads,
reported, with an amendment, the Senate bill
to authorize the refunding to postmasters OF
funds or valuable letters lost or stolen. Placed

CUSTOMS AND INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.
1t is thought at the treasury department that
the total receipts from customs this month
will be nearly BIG. 100000 and from internal
revenue about $4,000, 900. Taking this as
basis it is estimated the total customs receipts
of the government forth fiscal year ending
June 80 next will be about Sl53, 900, 900 and
from internal revenue $40. G00OO0, this making
the total income to the government, including
feCelptS from miscellaneous sources, ABOUT
$500, 000, 900. 1t is calculated at the depart
ment that the total expenditures, including
sinking fund and interest thu public debt,
will foot up to between 1875, 900, 900 and a27S,-
000, 600. This would leave profit to the gov
eminent of about $25, 900, 900.
DEMOCRATIC SENATORS IN CAUCUS.
The Democratic members of the Senate held
caucus after adjournment this afternoon. 1t
was called with a view to preventing the re-
currence of an embarrassment which the major
ity have frequently had to encounter this ses-
sion, namely. that of finding themselves without
sufficient number of their own party to make
q quorum. After an extended interchange of
suggestions it was by common consent agreed
that pairs ought not to be made except upon
condition that either of the members pairing
shall have the right to vote, if his vote be neces
sary to make quorum. The desirability OF
adopting some set of joint rules to govern the
transactions of business between the House and
Senate was then suggested by several members,
there being no joint rules now in force. Incl
dental allusionwas made to the former joint
rule in regard to counting the electoral votes.
and to various others not now recognized by
the Senate as in existence, but, which it was
argued, are needed for the proper regulation OF
legislative business. Finally. the whole sub.
iect was referred to the Democratic members
of the committee on rules. and the caucus ad
jvurned.

Organization of a Vigilance Committee
by the Property Owners-Cause of the
Trouble.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 26.-The Call this morn
ing says a secret meeting of citizens for the
purpose of organizing vigilance committee.
was held last night in the Palace hotel. The
avowed object of the organization Is suppress
sion of any possible riot which might occur in
connection with the labor agitation movement.
There was no parade of workingmen to day, and
the sand lot meeting was comparatively tame.
meeting of merchants was held in the after
noon to devise relief measures, but the attend
ance being small nothing was perfected. It is
understood KearneY has gone to Sacramento.
The excited feeling of the workingmen is due
to the delay in carrying out the decree of con-
demnation of Chinatown. and to an impress
sion the property holders backed by the police
and military, will attempt to prevent the exer-
ton of this decree, and that the lives of their
leaders are in danger from the same source.
As matter of fact the decree meets with the
almost unanimous approval of citizens, while
corporations are daily discharging Chinese. No
doubt Mayor Kailoch means t.: use all his in
fuence to preserve peace, and influences are at
work which will undoubtedly lead to a pacific
solution of the questions at issue.

THE GRAIN BLOCKADE.

Proposed Congressional Investigation.
Washington Special.
There has been great deal of complaint
among farmers because of the grain block
ade, which prevents them from getting theil
products to market. Congressmen-esr
pecially those who come from the West
have been receiving numerous letters
lately, demanding that some action should be
taken by Congress to break up combinations
of spectators to buy up all the grain eleva-
tors in the country and to SO block transpor-
ton as to make it impossible for produce to
reach foreign markets. The result is they
are forced to take much less for their grain
and pork than they would if this obstruction
did not exist.
1t is stated that if it were not for the
blockade wheat would be worth to producers
in some parts of the west 10 cents bushel
more than it is. This subject is regarded as
of equal importance with that of inter- State
commerce, and has attracted the attention
of many members. To-day, Mr.. Hill, Of
Ohio, introduced the following joint resolu.
ton in the House:
WHEREAS, 1t is ascertained by reliable news
paper reports that vast quantities of grain anC
pork are now stored and locked up in large
grain and commercial depots in this country
by unlawful combinations of Spectators; and
WHEREAS, 1t is also asserted that large num-
bers of vessels are now lying idle on wharves Of
New York and other States. by reason of sale
grain blockade, thus keeping thousands of mer
out of active employment; and,
RESOLVED, Such ordinations and monopolies
are we'll calculated to produce stagnation of
business in this country, and to add to the dis
tress in Ireland and other countries, where said
produce is greatly needed; therefore,
Resolyed, by the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, etc, That committee of five or
the part of the House, and three on the part OF
the Senate, are hereby appointed and author
lied to inquire into the causes of said grain
blockade. and to report to Congress at an early
day what legislation if any, can be had to rem
edy the evil herein complained Of and that sale
committee be empowered, at their discretion,
to send for persons and papers.
The bill was referred to the committee on
commerce. Mr.. Hill afterwards had con-
versation with Mr.. Reagan, chairman of the
commerce committee, on the subject. Mr..
Reagan expressed himself favorable to
the resolution, and will call the at
tention of his committee to it, proba-
bly, at its next meeting. Mr.. Hill said
that he represents a grain growing district
and that he is overwhelmed with letters from
his constituents, who say they are suffering
greatly from this blockade, and are clamor
GUS for some action by Congress to break up
the combination of spectators which has
caused it.

MIR. COMBINES CONTENTION.

We would not insult the Republicans of
New York by asserting that the assemblage
that convened at Utica on Wednesday was
representative of their sentiments. We do
not believe that that convention represented
the party. 1t simply represented one man,
the boss of the State, Roscoe Conkling. 1t
was called ostensibly to select delegates to
the Chicago convention, called for the NOM
ination of candidate for President, but in
reality was a convention called to ratify the
opinions of one man, and that man was SEN
ator Conkling. The business entrusted to
the convention was transacted expeditiously,
though in a somewhat disorderly manner.
An attempt was made to secure the appoint
to any candidate, but Lord Roscoe nipped
the movement in the bud, and the seventy
delegates chosen were formally instructed to
cast their votes for Ulysses S. Grant as 90
candidate of urgent Importance"
Mr.. Conkling has once again demonstrated
his proprietary right to the Republican party
of New York. He is man against whom
nothing seems to prevail. Long ago he
pledged the delegates of that State to his
friend Grant, and though every effort has
been made by his enemies to defeat the con-
summation of his bargain, he has succeeded.
Almost the entire party press of the State
was arrayed against him. The Tribune de-
clared that the people would not tolerate a
third term; the Times argued that it was in
expedient to place in nomination a man
whose previous administrations had been
marked by SO much corruption; Harper's
Weekly showed that such an attempt was in
violation of all usage and would be resented
by the "scratchers,' while Tray, Blanche
and Sweetheart joined in the general con-
domination of the plan. Nevertheless Conk-
ling carried his point. and is to-day the
monarch of all he surveys.
There is, of course, great deal of signif-
canoe in the action of the convention. 1t
shows primarily that Grant is the candidate
of the machine politicians of the country,
and that the machine is omnipotent. Sec
ondarily it signifies the determination of the
party to wage warfare upon issues of a
contest that closed fifteen years ago. The
party has been defeated at successive cleo
tions for four years past, and is now in the
minority in both branches of the national
legislature. The object now is to recover the
advantage lost. Mr.. Conkling thinks it can
be recovered by raining Gen. Grant for the
Presidency on the same ticket with the
nominees for Congressional seats. Mr..
Cameron and Mr.. Logan agree with. him.
We are of the opinion that all three argue
from correct premises, but there is room to
