in Ireland is followed by a Land League
manifesto declaring that no rent shall
be paid. Every step in the landlords way
to the assertion OF his just rights is barred
by intimidation and outrage. The tenants,
with the landlords'r rents in their pockets, and
backed by the Land League fund subscribed
III America, can now realize the fact that
half this robbers programme is carried
out, and in a multitude of cases the Land
League may boast with truth that it has
beaten the landlords to their knees. In
such a crisis the necessity for continued
and increasing energy on the part of the
Property defence Association is absolute.
But from what source are the funds to
Gomez The Irish landlords have already
taxed themselves to the utmost of their
ability. Speaking generally, they have
received little or no rent for the last two
or three years. Heavily burdened with
family charges and other membranes,
they nave had to live on borrowed money,
and now their credit as we'll as their or
binary sources of income is drying up.
The numbers of the middle class in Ire
land are small and loyaliSts few and scat
tered. They, too, have felt the exhausting
influence of an agitation which has para
lYZed commercial enterprise. And so,
III their extremity, the supporters of the
Property Defence Association turn to the
country with whose interests in Ireland
they have been always identified, and
whose cause not less than that of the
Irish landlords they have for the last
year been upholding as best they could.
They cannot doubt that England will an
swer the appeal; but help, if it is to be
OF any avail, must come quickly. For as
the rumour is spread in any district that
the Property Defence funds are failing
''boycotting" is renewed with tenfold ener-
gy. The struggle is still maintained.
About a fortnight ago a gentleman in Tip
perary supplied food to two caretakers who
were starving. His 80 labourers, well
housed and paid, at once left him. In 81
hours after this was reported their places
were iilled by labourers of the Property
Defence Association. 1t rests with the
people of England to decide whether such
prompt answers to intimidation are or are
not to be continued. Should this associa-
tion now be suffered to fail for want of
funds, it seems as if the loyal and law
abiding people Of Ireland will nave lost
their only stay in the battle which they
are waging against the robbery of the Land
Lacquer and the ultimate designs of the
rebel.

YOUxG FLOOD.
Results OF a Heavy Rain Last Eycn-
in~g-Flooded Cellars.

A heavy rain set in at six O'Clock last
evening in this city and continued
steadlyfor nearly three hours. The rain
fell in torrents and soon the CUTTERS
and bitches overlooked; wooden side
walks began floating, while the street
crossings became decidedly precarious.
Many of them Hoated away, and there
were u number of pedestrians who
found 1t out while standing knee deep
in water, hunting for the crossing.
OF course the cellars and Easements
suffered. The worst cases were those
of H. II. Ellis, the baker, and his
neighbors, j. & II. Dillman. The cell
lar Of the latter filled first, and the
overflow then ran into Mr.. Ellis base
ment, which he uses for q ~bakeshop.
In q short time both cellars were filed
to a depth Of three and a half feet.
Mr.. Ellis and his active assistants
managed to carry all perishable goods
up stairs, SO that his loss is compare
lively light. The Messrs. Dillman will
not suffer much damage. As for Mr..
Ellis, his delivery wagon will be around
this morning as usual, while a new
baking will be gotten out this evening.
Application was made to Hon. T.
Dyer, chairman Of the council commit
tee on fire department, to pump out the
two cellars mentioned, and he ordered
out the Durant steamer at once. The
Durant boys pitched in with q will and
worked hard. They were joined by
several firemen from other companies,
as well as the chief, and all labored
manfully. The engine was kept at
work all night. Pumping will be re-
nowed this morning.
The cellars under the Corlett block
on Sixteenth street started to fill very
rapidly, but several loads of manure
we're hauled to the spot and an effective
dam made which proved q barrier to the
insinuating element.
Col. Snow succeeded by a similar
measure in preventing the water from
getting over fifteen inches deep in the
cellar, in the building occupied by him.
self and the Western Union office.
The cellars under the stores of Idel-
man Bros, aud Altman Bros, filed up
very rapidly. Some empty barrels In
the cellar Of the former floated on the
water, which became so high that the
barrels forced up the cellar door.
All of the cellars under the McDan.
lei block were moistened with o foot OF

From a dispatch received from Fort
Russell last evening we learned that the
storm was particularly rel at thai
point. Enormous quantities Of hail fell,
while 1t seemed as If q waterspout had
burst over the post. SO heavy was the
fall Of water.

THE UTEs MUST Go.-The Republi-
cans Leadville special says: A gentle
man who has been at the White River
agency two years and who just arrived
from there, says the Indians do not
recognize the treaty as binding, but
claim that the money paid them by the
government was due to them. They
are willing to give up the mountains
but not the valleys. If an attempt was
made to remove them to Utah they will
take to the mountains and keep up q
desultory warfare. He says there are
FIVE companies of infantry at the agen-
cy, sufficient to emove the Indians, il
SO ordered, and two companies of cav
airy are expected to arrive DOL to CO.

all of whom reside in block houses, are

How to avoid q Ute wal this year and
at the same time protect the interior
departments commissioners and agents
in Colorado is the question which is
engaging tie attention of the secretary
of war, Gen. Sherman, Gen. Sheridan
and Gen. Pope. The interior depart
ment has called for q large force Of
troops to protect the several parties to
be sent out by the interior department
to survey the lands to which the Utes
are to be removed. 1t Is understood
that 1900 men in all are thought at the
interior department to be necessary for
this purpose. They evidently expect q
good deal of trouble before the Ute
question is settled. 1t appears that
these estimable men, the Ute commits
sioners, have deluded the Indians with
promises Of lands which either do not
exist or which the commissioners have
NO power to make over to them. In
| plain English, the Indians have been
LIED to, and now the army is to be
called upon TO protect the commission
era from the possible results Of their
misrepreseptations, and Gen. Pope will
be advised to furnish such bodies Of
troops as may be actually necessary to
preserve the peace, and will probably
succeed in avoiding . war this year,
although,mapyo OF the Utes are in . very
ugly state Of mind, and with q good
deal Of xcu for being o.-Register.

Hon. w. w. Coriett returned from
Evanston yesterday. He went out %
uints county TO secure the right Of
way for the Oregon Short Line railway
company, Through Hodges Pass.
The Oregon Short Line railway CON-
pany is the name of the corporation
which was organized to build a railroad
from Granger station. on the Union
Pacific road, to Baker City, Oregon,
where it will unite with the Oregon
railroad, and thus make a continuous
line to the Pacific at Portland. From
this it will be seen that the Union Pa
cifc is becoming a competitor with the
Central Pacific and Southern Pacific,
and also with the prospective Northern
Pacific.
Portland will become a very import
ant seaport, and will do an immense
shipping business. The Union Pacific,
by reason of its favorable situation,
will be enabled to give very favorable
rates from the Pacific coast, and will,
therefore, do an immense traffic. Al.
though the names of the two roads that
will intervene between Granger and
Portland will have different names
from the main stem, practically the
Union Pacific will extend from Omaha
and Kansas City to Portland-an i'm
mense railway-the longest in the
world.
That the U. p. means business is ev.
idenced by the fact of surveyors work
ing both ways between Granger and the
crossing point on the Utah & Northern
road, also by the more important fact
that a contract has been let for build.
ing the first seventy miles of road from
Granger out.
This being the state of the case, il
follows that the proposed extension
from Cheyenne northwestward, will b,
abandoned. We say this because il
does not appear reasonable that thu
company will build two extensions tt
the Pacific. 1t is redeeming its promise
to push through Oregon to the coast.

A COOL THIEF.
He Steals from y Prominent Resi-
dence In Daylight.

Mr.. J.. W. Hammond, the well
known hardware merchant, had a rare
experience yesterday afternoon. He
had occasion to go to his residence
on Ferguson street, above the court
house, during the afternoon. Mn.
Hammond is visiting i'll Iowa, and the
residence was therefore vacant during
the day-at least it was when Mr..
Hammond left it in the morning.
While Mr.. Hammond was in the
house in the afternoon, he heard q
noise up stairs and went up to his bed
room. There he saw a strange man
fumbling about the dressing case, and
he went for the fumbler forthwith. The
latter pulled a revolver, but Mr.. Ham
mond wrested it from him and then led
him down to the county jail, ex-Sherifl
Draper joining him meanwhile.
At the Jail the man gave his name as
Frank Fairbanks. He was stripped in
order to learn what he had stolen.
There were jewelry, kid gloves, silk
handkerchiefs and various other arti'
cles in his pockets. He wore two white
shirts belonging to Mr. Hammond, al
SO a pair of socks and slippers, and
other habilaments. Fairbanks was
then Gagged.
Officer e. $. Smith was given the
case to work up. Learning that other
articles had been taken, he set about to
find them, which he did in a saloon on
Sixteenth street. Among the things
recovered was a pair ofnew ~pantaloons
belonging to a suit which MI. Ham.
mond had never worn. Fairbanks
will be arraigned this afternoon.
