NEW YORK, March 17.-In November last
an appeal was made In the form of subscrip-
tion to provide perpetual fund whose annual
income should be enjoyed during life and while

amounts, who are atpresent out OF the coun-
try and who have not yet had time to answer
my request for payment. The amount al

scribers deem it advisable to make public the
names of those who have contributed to the
fund, and about $4,000 has been subscribed
on the distinct understanding that the names

Who Will Inaugurate First Glass Hotel
Enterprise?
While every other pleasure resort within
easy access of st. Paul is being rapidly devel.
oped and drawing an increasing number Of
patrons, both among our citizens and tourists
from abroad, our beautiful White Bear lake,
now brought within brief half hours ride
of the city, is falling to the rear for the
want of sufficient hotel accommodations. Since
the old South Shore house was burned there
are only three moderate sized hotels, besides a
boarding house or two, wholly insufficient to
afford shelter and meals to the throng Of
people who seek the lake during the summer
months. As anatural result people flock to
lakes twice or three times the distance from
st. Paul, and large proposition of the tour
lists and pleasure seekers who seek our State
during the summer months, follow their ex-
White Bear is no longer the wilderness lake
of few years ago. By The growth of st. Paul,
and the increase of railroad facilities, It has
become suburb Of our city. Not only the
residents of the little village, but every prop
erty owner and business man of st. Paul, will
benefit by the prosperity of our own home re-
sort.
More than one project for building large
hotel at the lake, has been discussed, and aban.
doned. Every winter, of late, something
of the kind has been on foot,
and every summer following brings the gen.
eral comments, upon everyone's lips, on
the insudiciency of the exist
ing houses: Cannot something be done
this season? There is but little time to spare;
all agree that q flrst.class hotel would be well
patronized, and there is no doubt that prop
erty owners at the lake, as well as the railroad
company, would derive great benefit. Why
cannot some of our business men move in
this matter? Who will take the lead?

Iowa State Land League.

DEs MONIES, March 17.-The State Land
League convention to express sympathy with
the irish leagues was held to-day. Addresses
were made by many prominent business men
and clerical gentlemen. The chairman was

elected as officers for one year: President, M.
V. Cannon; vice presidents, Rev. Father I.
Cavanaugh and John Deery; secretary, D. G.

movement was inaugurated toward the Or
ganization of leagues in every city and town
in the State, and such leagues were requested
to forward moneys raised for agitation pur-
poses, and thence through the national league
to be forwarded to the land league at Paris.
The resolutions extend sympathy to Parnell
and his associates, and assure continued sup
port t,sympathize with Davitt approve the prin-
ciples of the Irish National land league and its
policy of passive resistance; recommend the
advlsability of holding State convention for
the purpose of affecting thorough erganiza-
ton in America, and direct attention to the
continual drain of American funds in contrib
uting to tenants in Ireland, to enable them to
pay rents, amounting to $4,000, 900. The
convention was harmonious and enthusiastic.

TOLEDO, March 17.-Thos. John, prominent
grain dealer of Wixom, Mich, was assaulted

CRIMINAL HEARTLEssNEss.
DETROIT, March 1.-THE body of boy 6
years old, son of James j. Craig, florist of this
city, was found in an alley near his fathers
residence this morning. He was last seen yes
terday evening playing. When found the
body was stretched face downward with a
stick of candy grasped tightly in one hand.
The body had the appearance of having been
run over by heavy wagon and then taken
and left where found, as the child's shoes were
free from mud. The case seems to be one of
criminal carelessness on the part of some driv-
er in the first place and then cruel heartless-
ness in the attempt to cover the first crime.

Defense of the American Porker.


WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE ministers Of the
United States at the Court Of st. James and the
French capital have been instructed to Lay before
the respective governments to which they are &C
credited the sense Of this government that injustice
is shown toward the citizens and food products
Of this country by the attitude which is being as
sumed In Europe on this question. Positive instruc-
tions have been sent Lowell at London to meet
Crump statements and expose their erroneousness.
Noyes, at Paris. has been teegraphed in the follow
ing terms directing him to lay the facts before the
French government:
AWAsH1NoIoN, March 16.-To Noyes, minister,
Paris Your course respecting the pork decree of
the French government, approved. The statements
Of Crump, acting Brish consul at Philadelphia, oc-
casioned excitement and widespread
comment here, leading to cor
correspondence with the British legation aud boards
Of trade. Hog cholera is confoundedwith trichina-
Sis which Is entirely distinct disease but the repre-
sentations regarding hog cholera are very greatly
exaggerated. The most searching In
vestigation fails to show the basis for
the published statements. Mortality among very
young swine from cholera has been lass this year
than for several years past and the condition Of full
grown hogs, which are alone used for packing and
export il this year exceptionally good. Britieh rep
resentatives at Philadelphia have apparently been
miaed by designing speculators to the great injury
Of legitimate trade. Deny In the strongest terms
the report of the British consul, should French
ministers appeal to 1t justifying them In inter-
dieting or restricting the American pork trade In
strucdons follow. (Signed)

fire on the ground near the rear wall of the
Lord Mayors official residence, md found a

pounds of gunpowder with fuse in the midst
of it. There has been no arrests nor any clue
to the perpetrators The Lord Mayor says an
explosion would probably not have injured
the Mansion House but would have damaged
Egyptian hall and adjacent private houses, and
entailed serious loss of life. he himself, he
said, was not at home at the time. One ac-
count says an Irish newspaper was found
amongst the packings of the powder.
Great precautions are taken for the safety of
the houses of parliament since the discovery
of the plot to blow up the mansion house.
The police in and around the BID Rding have

CHICAGO, March 17.-Yellow and green rib.
bons in the buttonholes indicates that to-day
is an Irish holiday, but beyond this token and
the celebration in St. Patrick's church of high
mass by Archbishop Fehan, there is no evi-
dence that the usually lively and hilarious st.
Patrick's day has arrived. The societies are
tarred from parading by the abominable con-
dition of the streets and also by their inclina-
ton to use the money, which would be so ex.
pended, in ameliorating the sufferings and
strengthening the hands of their fellow coun.
try men across the Atlantic in obtaining what
they consider their rights as against the op-
preston of the landlords. Our Irish citizens
have sent considerable sums of money and it

pended for that purpose being contributed to

league.
CINCINNATI, March 17.-St. Patrick's day

the character OF the late czar is evinced every
where abroad, need we say Russia can only
derive therefrom one reason more for adhering
to the same path, wise political reform, peace
and concord, followed by her
august martyr. It is sufficient
to the unbounded filial love of Alexander Ill,
to attain q firm conviction that this general
policy of peace, social conservation and pro-
gressive development will be continued with
all the resolution, loyalty and energy which
from the father passes to the son. The
manifestations of regret and veneration
for the august victim arriving from all parts
of the world constitute evidences Of confidence
in the future, and OF universal desire to see
the excellent relations which the late
czar knew how to create with all
foreign powers, maintained, consolidated
and developed We know this confidence will
not be misplaced, and Russia will not delay
making known the intentions Of Alexander
III. in this respect, in terms as worthy the
great empire as to the memory of
him whose sole care was the prosperity, honor
and dignity of Russia. ss

Miss Annie M. Kelly acquitting themselves
with grace, and displaying excellent dramatic
ability. More enjoyable musical selections
followed, Miss Grace Haggerty and the gen.
