DELAYED DISPATCHES.
The Coldstreams Disguised.

none of the cases Of eviction yesterday were
agrarian, nor did any of then arise out OF the
land war. Thu column having breakfasted
early proceeded to the house Of widow Null
cahey who was living in a little roadside
cabin near Killarney. She was being evicted
not by the landlords, but by a tenant OF MIR.
Squan, member of Parliament for Limerick.
That tenant was her own mother, 1t appear
ed that her mother gave the house anu a bit
of land to her daughter as her marriage pol-
ton, who was about to be married. She was
turning over the first daughter to make room
for the other. The eviction occupied an
hour, but it appears that after the soldiers
left the woman forcibly took possession again.
This was purely a family quarrel. Mr.. God
uard, of the Property Defense Association,
sa d that he would not allow his bailitfs to
assist at another such eviction, the object of
the society being to fight the land league, not
to take part in domestic q~uarreis.
The next case was also a family affair,
namely, a father-in-law trying to evict his
son-In-law, who, a year ago, had evicted him.
Mr.. Goddard refused to interfere, accusing
the sheriff of trying to use him and his asso-
citation for purposes foreign to their object.
The next case was III the OWL OF Necker.
1t was not agrarlan, the case being simply one
of inability on the part of a shopkeeper 10
pay rent. Eviction was quickly carried out.
The guards marched back to camp, disgust
ed with their ignoble work, wet and hungry.
Very few people g~atheved to witness evic-
tions. There were never more than fifty
present no hostiles appeared on the scene,
and there was no great excitement. The peo-
pie gathered on the village streets, and on sew
eral occasions women and children hOoted,
and on one occasion about twenty police OF
the rear guard charged them with batons and
beat every one who happenedt to be in the way.
All who hooted ran away, while many quiet
and peaceful men who were talking i'll the
street were badly beaten. Thus ended the
last campaign of the Coldstream Guards. To
Waterloo and Crimea upon their battle flags
must be added: "Jim kennedy'5 holding"
and Widow Mulcahey's acre" But when it
comes to this, that 400 of H Majesty's troops
and 800 police spend Two days in evicting
Irish tenants, the situation IN Ireland is in
deed extraordinary.
SANTA FE, june G.-The largest railroad
suit which ever came before the courts i'll the
United States, has just been commenced here
before Judge Warren Bristol. OF the Third
District Court Of the Territory. 1t is between
the Texas Pacific and Southern Pacific rail

shot in u big railroad war.
WASHINGTON, June G.--Assistant Post
master-Genera Tyner, who returned to Wash
ington .o-day, says that although he placed
his resignation at the disposal Of the presi-
dent early last March. he did so merely as a
matter of courtesy. He has no idea that the
president desires to make a change. Post
masIer-6eneral James says he knows OF no
reason why Tynor should resign, and there
is no doubt but that he will remain undis-
turhed. Nothing new has been made public
ct the Postofbce Department concerning
star. route frauds. But although no addi-
tiOaal removals we're made and routine bust.
ness ran as smoothly as usual, there was evi
IDENTITY a feeling Of uncertainty and Insecuri-
ty throughout the enJire department. Indeed
ii could hardly have been more noticeable
had there been a change of administration
politically. Clerks seem to be on the ann
ious seat for none OF them can tell where
tightening will strike next. Meanwhile the
Postmaster Genera is tapping off extrava-
gancies Of the department. Thus far in the
matter Of the Star service he has effected a
saving of nearly one million dollars and is
not yet through by any means.
Anticipating that before long he will be in
need Of legal talent, OK. assistant Postmaster
General Brady has retained for his defense
MesorS. Shelhberger and Wilson, Col. E.
LatOn RObt. ~IugeTsol and Gen. Butler. Gen.
Brady who has been here for several days
left for New York last night. He expresses
confidence that he will come out all right.
This opinion does not appear to be widely
shared.
New YORK, June 4.-The HeraEd,s Wash.
ington special says the Capital, the organ of
the Star Route ring, bitterly assails the Presi-
dent in its leading editorial to-day, and in
conclusion of the article, discussing the ap-
pointment of A. NJ. Gibson, one of the special
agents whose appointment the President APP
proves, it says:
'Surely, Mr.. President, there must be
some mistake about this but if there is a
mistake it is a dreadful one-a mistake that
will haunt you to your dying day and damn
your memory long after you are dead as the
only President who ever voluntarily certified
to the honor, integrity and trustworthiness of
a man who for nine years had steadily
branded him a "bribe-taker,'' thief, liar, per-
jurer and subornor of perjury and forgery.
Although the .Morey letter has passed from
law officers in New York have been very
busy for some time in following the clews
they have obtained. 1t is known that they
have met with signal success, and fully.e x-
pect to be able at an early date to fix the
