THE sKIRmIsHgss At CHICAGO.

a semi-mysterious conciave has been in
session at Chicago for several days, and
has at last adjourned, apparently without
accomplishing anything. From time to
time sounds of warfare issued from the
hall in which the mysterious Con.
vention was being held, and it might
almost have been thought that a tragedy
was being enacted there resembling that
which Kriemhild brought about TO avenge
the murder of her beloved Siegfried in the
famous Nibelungen Lied. It was whispered
about that this dark and mysterious assem-
blage was really meeting of secret order
called the Clan Ma Gael, organized, if
rumor does not err, for the purpose OF
waging war upon the Saxons and that
the causes of difference arose out Of the
vain efforts of the Convention to find
out what had become Of certain fund
known as the Skirmishing Fund. 1t is
further reported that all attempts in this
direction were futile that the Skirmishing
Fund was not represented by any
report whatever and that in fact it
appears to have been skirmished
away so completely that no traces of its
employment can be discovered. The as.
certainment of this fact is said to have re-
suited in toe abrupt dispersal of the Con-
vention, which had originally met in order
TO determine whether Internal machines
should be employed in the subsequent pro-
ceedings against perfdious Albion" or
whether the war should be confined to the
machinery of the Land League and the
sulphurous Nominations of the Irish
World. The debates on this question
appear to have been exceedingly stormy
and exciting, but the outcome is not stated
with any defniteness. All that seems
clear is that the Convention has adjourned
sine die IN anything but pleasant frame
of mind, and that no particular progress in
any direction has been made. Neverthe-
less it is probable that great deal of sur
plus steam was worked of during its
sessions, AID that the patriots whe were
present nave returned to their several homes
feeling relieved, even if they have not
succeeded in doing anything "epochai.

THE LORDS AND THE LAND BILL.

The Lords have not been able to refrain
from mutilating the land bill, but it is
evident that the Commons are resolute not
to accept any important amendments, and
that they will refuse to acquiesce in the
majority of the changes proposed. The
opposition in the Lords has been led by the
Marquis OF Salisbury, but with very little
judgment, since it has been evident from
the first that all opposition of the kind
must be futile Mr. Gladstone has ma
jority of one hundred upon whom he can
rely implicitly, and the resistance of the
upper house viii only strengthen the de-
termination OF the Commons to pass the
bill as it left their hands. If the view
taken by Lord Salisbury is correct. indeed,
the very wisest policy for the Conservative
party must be to let the bill become law
as speedily as possible. Forif it is SO very
bad measure. its practical operation can.

/" terest OF the State, but has made no
:" sacrifices )" yetit is furtherstated that ''it
sis feared that other and greatsrconcessicn
will be made to the Vatican" In short,
the indications are that notwithstanding
his previous vaunt, Prince Bismarck is en-
route to Csnossa. He has met the enemy,
and he is theirs. His fight with the Vat.
lean has ended in his practically uncondi-
tional surrender, and he is now retracing
his steps as rapidly as possible. The pre-
is that he found the foe more
formidable than he had anticipated, or that
he has been in measure forced, by the
aggressions of the Socialists, to place him
self on good terms with an organization
which has quite as much interest as he in
maintaining the existing order of things.
He has discovered that the times are not
propitious for protracted struggle with
Rome. and he has accordingly signed a
truce. and undertaken to restore the status
quo ante bellum.

OREGON.
Mail Service Investigated.

PORTLAND, Angus. 11th.-A. G. Sharp, of
the United States Postal Service. has been
visiting various portions of this State, in
specting the mail routes, and making such
recommendations TO the Government as he
deemed expedient. His principal object was
TO investigate the alleged star route frauds. He
spent some time in these investigations. So
far as could possibly be ascertained, the
postal agents have discovered no new develop
ments of fraud or Irregularities in any of tie
routes, other than has been reported by the
published dispatches. The postal service over
the Baker City and Prinevile route, in East
ern Oregon, was investigated by the Postal
Agent of this State and Washington Terri
tory some time since, and he recommended
that the service be reduced to twice week,
as that answered the present requirements of
the public. This recommendation has been
acted upor. Sharp, after travelling over the
Canyon City and Camp McDermit, and the
Eugene City and Prineville routes, found the
service unnecessarily frequent, and recon-
mended reduction. The reports recently
published, to the effect that Sharp made new
developments in star-route crookedness, are
denied here on the best authority obtainable.

Some years have passed since Prince
Bismarck, at the beginning of his contest
with the Vatican, made the significant re-
mark: " We do not go to Canossa." But
many changes have occurred since then,
and among them some which are in
dicated by such dispatchesas the following,

SITTING BuLL.

Sitting Ball has graciously allowed him
self to be supplied with comfortable quar-.
tiers and plenty of provisions, and having
settled himself for the time has already
begun to cast an anchor to windward by
accommodating arms and ammunition. The
belief of the Indian Agents, who are a
peculiarly trusting folk, that he has alto
gether abandoned all idea of going upon
the warpath again. has been somewhat
staggered by the discovery of this little
strategy, but no doubt Sitting Bull will
dissipate all such suspicious by wiping his
eyes with the splendid silk handkerchief
recently presented to him by an admiring
American lady. He is an innocent and
peaceful old gentleman when his people
are out of provisions and his ponies
are in poor condition. He is even
willing at such times to lay
down his arms and go through
the farce of virtual surrender, though it
may be noted as somewhat significant that
he has refused to say in SO many words
that he has surrendered. What he does
say is merely that he has come in )" and
this evasion may perhaps be thought to in
dictate future intention of going out. The
military men, with their usual skepticism,
do not repose faith in Sitting Bull. They
think that he will break away when he
gets ready, and that he is as pischievous
and treacherous as ever Time will show
which is right, but in the meanwhile it
would be mere prudence to see to it that
his squaws are not permitted to pack guns
and ammunition into his camp, if only to
keep temptation out of his reach.
