But FEW SOCIETIES PARADE-REIIEF OF THE SUI
FERING IN IRELAND.
Owing to the suffering from famine in Ireland
most Of the Irish-American organizations OF the
District, at their convention some months since,
voted not to participate this year in the usual
st. Patrtck's day parade, which had for years
past been growing into brilliant street specta-
Gle. This action was agreed upon in order that
the money which would be required for music
and other expenses of the procession could be
devoted to the relief Of their suffering country
men. The outdoor demonstration In honor OF
the day did not, therefore, at all approach those
of previous years In magnitude. A few of the
societies thought, however, they would have
parade and also contribute to the Irish relief
fund. Accordingly the Knights Of st. Patrick,
Commander James Ragan, escorted by the
Knights Of st. Peter, Commander j. T. Jen-
nings, attended mass at St Peters church, and at
the conclusion Of the service the two organiza-
tions, headed by Donch's band, with the Knights
OF st. Bernard, from Georgetown, who Joined
them en- route, also headed by band, marched
up pennsylvania avenue and through 18th
street, then by the Executive mansion ana st.
AIMS Asylum at the circle (making their con-
trfbutions), thence to Georgetown, returning
over M-Street bridge to 24th street, to X, 18th,
G and 7th streets. and through Louisiana ave-
nue. to the City Hall, where the line was dis
missed. 1t is but just to say that these societies
have heretofore contributed to the Irish relief
fund. There were matinee performances at the
National Theater and Ford's Opera House to-day
for the benefit Of the fund.

Scandal i'm High Life.

MINISTER CHhlSIlANCfS WIFE.
For some time past there have been rumors
that Hon. Isaac p. Christiancy, our minister to
Peru, was not perfectly happy in his family re-
lations and that the return from Lima OF his
young Wife, formerly Miss Lugenbeel, an en-
ployG in the Treasury department, was not alto
gether owing to the war between Chill and
Peru, but that there was also domestic war
between man and wife, arising from tncompatf-
bility of temper and the disparity of their ages.
Since her return here, some months since, she
has resided in the neighbOrhood of 4th and D
streets northwest, and recently the statement
was published that she had been called to
Maryland to be at the bedside Of sick relative
AS she was known at the time Of said publfca-
tfon to be in this city this statement caused
some conjecture among her aequaintances. It 1t
is now understood that Mr. ChriSttancy has
recently been apprised of certain question
able. acts on the part Of the wife and
placing the matterin the hands Of some of his
intimate friends they have reported to him that
he has good and sufficient grounds for divorce
1t is probable that some such proceedings will
be taken. 1t is stated that Mr.. C. will be In the
city shortly to prosecute the case.

The Trespassers ON the Ute Lands.
ACTION OF THE FEDEREL AUTHORITIES


Secretary SchurZ yesterday afternoon issued
an order giving notice to persons entering the
Ute reservation in the state Of Colorado, for the
purpose OF locating ranches and mineral claims,
that suchi locations and claims will not be reg
ognized by the Interior department, as the lands
embraced within said reservation are not now
public lands Of the United States. and no loca-
tion made thereon can be or will be recognized
as legal except those made after the lands shall
be regularly restored to the public domain. 1t
was decided at a conference OF Secretary Schun
with Ouray and other Ute chiefs now here that
in order to influence their nation against hoStl-
ities they {the Ute chiefs) should leave. here at
once for Colorado. The Secretary has addressed
communications to the Indian committees of
the Senate and House Of Representatives in
forming them Of the threatened difficulty, aud
urging prompt action upon the pending agree
ment with the UteS. 1t is said at the War de-
partment that troops are now stationed at con-
venient points near the reservation and IL it IS
deemed necessary can be readily called into ser
vice to keep off the invaders and preserve the
peace,
