THE SHOE PINCHING.
THE LANDLORDS AND THE BILL.
Kicking Against ReductIOns--Pre-
pairing TO Appeal TO Parliament
The Commission and the Tenants
specimen Rent Alterations.

LONDON, November 11.-Reports from all
parts of the county Of Cork disclose the
most extraordinary eagerness on the part of
the farmers to go before the Land Court.
In some districts large sums of money are
being subscribed towards the formation of
a mutual protection fund.
The large reductions of rent by the sub
commissioners under the land act are eaus-
ing an outcrY on the part of the landlords
and demand for government compensation.
The Times says "We think there is no
ground yet apparent for the belief that the
lenient landlords will have to submit to
sweeping reductions of rent. On the con-
trary event, however, they will endeavor to
hold the Ministry to its pledges for compen-
sation, given during the debate on the land
BILL"
Lord Portarlington writes to the Times
painting out that on the old hered itary
estates the rents have not been raised for q
number of years, and II the sub-commis-
sioners reduce these rents anything like
% per cent. the cry of confscation will be
rightly raised, and Mr.. Gladstone's declara-
tion in the House of Commons relative to
compensation Will come to the front with
irresistible force.
A Liberal MEMBER OF Rarllament, VINO
Loyalty supported the land bill, writes that
tits unjust that rent be lowered because of
waste and improvidence on the part of the
tenant, as that it be raised on his improve
ments. II rent is to be reduced because of
the increasing age and feebleness of the
tenant the landlord should be compen-
sated by the government.
F. II. O'Donnell, Home Ruler, member of
Parliament for Dungarvon, also writes to
the Times, pointing out that In the Castle
Blaney and Euright cases the reductions of
rent have already been appealed against,
and that landlords, acting unitedly, are ac-
cumulating a magnificent case for an ap-
peal to Parliament for compensation.
The Downpatrick Land Commission to-
day announced its decision In sixteen cases
in the Martin and Cornwell estates. The
reductions are 9lO on a rent of 921, e21 on
one of e41, "a on one Of 919, 93 on one of
919 60 on one of Ell, 97 on one of e46,
9l on one of 97, "a on one of 914, eS on
one of 922, "a on one of 9l7, 38 on one of
927, 99 on one Of 931, 95 on one Of GIG,
and 93 on one OF els. In two cases of
rents of 30 and q shillings they were re-
duced to lis. 81. and lbs. Cd. respectively.
In the case of one Millar, tenant, to r.
Ward, of Bangor Castle, the Commission
confirmed the existing rent.

ARTHUR AND MACvEAGH.
THE FLOWERY KINGDOM.
A WOman's Hospital Opened-The
Foreign Trade of PekIn.

SAN Francisco, November 1.-THE
steamer City of Peklng, from Hong Kong
has arrived here and brought the following
intelligence under date of Hong Kong, Oc-
tober Is:
TheWomen's Hospital was opened at Tien
Tsin on the 8th inst, in the presence Of 81
Hung Chong and other Chinese officials Of
high rank Mr.. Angel, United States Min
lister to Pekin, who is about to return via
Europe, delivered an address. Miss DR..
Howard, an American missionary lady, who
was instrumental in the cure OF Lady LII, the
wife of the ViceroY, when her life was de
SPARED of by all of her Chinese medical at
tendants last year, is in charge. The hos
pital Just established In Tien Tsin and an
other in Pekin are solely due to the infu-
ence Of Miss Howard.
The question of the right of foreigners to
trade in Pekin has been revived on account
of the Danish traders being unrepresented,
Denmark having had no minister at Pekin
for many months. The foreigners in
Shanghai and Tien Tsin claim that this
trade ought to be abolished, or Pekin be
opened like other treaty ports to European
and American trade.

Costly Fire I'm RIchmond.

RICHMOND, VA, November ia fire
broke out early this morning in the engine
re ON of w. E Tanner & Co.'s Metropolitan
Iron Works. and before It could be brought
under control the machine and pattern
shops and saw mill were totally de.
stroyed The loss is not vet known, butt viii
amount to considerably over 100000.
The total insurance on the property de-
stroyed is about $4,000 With the excep
tion of IS, ,22S in the Georgia Home and
5000 in home companies, the insurance is
distributed among Northern and foreign
companies. The Metropolitan Iron Works
was one of the Oldest establishments OF the
kind In Richmond, and gave employment 10
about two hundred and fifty men. Business
was exceedingly brisk in the works, there
being over one hundred engines In course
Of construction. A serious loss, for whlen
there is no adequate compensation, Is the
destruction OF tie firms patterns and ma
chinery, some Of which cannot be replaced

Letter from Cedar Key, Florida.

CEDAR KEY, FLA, November 4.-From the
large quantities of Cedar Key oysters which
are every season transported to Georgia, am
inclined to think they are favorites with your
good people. 1t has been my experience in
my travels that where these bivalves are best
known they are most appreciated Their pecu-
liar flavor, differing so much from those on
the Atlantic coast, recommends them to the
most fastidious, which causes the demand to
be far greater than the supply. This supply,
however, can be largely augmented by giving
the same care and attention to their cultiva-
tion on the Gulf as is bestowed
on the Chesapeake bay. The Gulf
the Chesapeake The laws of the State of
Florida give protection to this valuable in
dnstry and offers to every oysterman the op-
portunity of making good living Yes, if in
duStrious, adopting plan to carefully foster
the finest beds and not indulge in the whole
sale spoliation of important beds, which is too
often done when the quantity seems mex
haustible, a fortune awaits many. The
winter and the fact that Cedar
Key oysters are being called for
in all parts of the Southern country, are the
reasons there is large growth in the con-
sumption, and unless the supply is increased
so as to meet this demand prices will no doubt
advance
An Immense business is now being done by
the fish dealers of Cedar Key with ali interior
cities and towns in Georgia and South Carroll
ma. Hundreds and hundreds Of barrels, tierces
and hogsheadS of fish are moved every week
Last season empty packages were exhausted,
and fish were shipped from Cedar Key
TO Georgia 10 bulk by the ear load, and
from present Indications many shipments this
season will have to be made in car load lots
The fish this season are very large and Of
superior quality, and are selling at prices
which. when compared with past seasons
mus be very remunerative to dealers. Our
Gulf mullet fishermen do not use a forty-horse
power engine to draw in their seines
as the North Carolina herring fishermen
are forced to do, but il the demand continues
to increase, as it has for the past season, they
will have 10 adopt the same means for catch
ing the mullet. which run in schools of thou
sands, and the supply then, no doubt, will be
largely increased. No fiah is more palatable
than good fat mules nicely hroiled, and our
Southern cooks know how TO do this to perfec-
ton. Sheephead will soon be plentiful. and
our Northern visitors can indulge to their
hearts content in this favorite Of theirs of the
fnny tribe. Bass at az trout are plentiful, aad
OF Rco1 Size. But few blackfsh and red snap
pers have been caught, bat as soon as Northern
ermen will turn their attention to these. and
meet all demands
Later in the season we will furnish you with
statement of shipments of fish and oysters
from Cedar Key. W.

The Frauds In the Government
Offices.
Boston Posi-.


The following request for information
has been received by us: "Will you
please inform me through your columns
if the frauds in the government offices in
Washington, which are being continually
brought to light, are not unprecedented
in the history of the republic, and will
they not result disastrously to the Re-
publican party?" The frauds now being
discovered il the government offices are
by no means unprecedented On the
contrary, it would hardly be saying
more than the facts warrant to call them
characteristic of Republican administra-
tions. The whisky frauds, the Belknap
business, the Black Friday business, the
frauds of the Indian rings, and great
many other disrepUtable developments
were part, and, we grieve to say, large,
almost an overshadowlng, part of Grants
administration. But there was splendid
unscrupulousness about Grant, an in
sensibility to shame so dense that it ex
cited wonder since it was not quality
to command admiration. The perpetra-
tors of unquestionable acts of all kinds
were his preferred companions, and they
basked in the comfortable warmth of his
protection. his successor was more
secretive and more hypocritieal. When
a subordinate discovered fraud and called
his attention to it, he was told to put his
information in his pocket, as it might
lnjure the party if it got out. The
frauds now being unearthed are those
that were carefully covered up during
the Hayes administration. AS to the
second question of our correspondent.
there can, of course, be but one answer
in the long run. Honesty is the best
policy, and evil shall not prosper It
can only succeed temporarily, by de-
bauching public sentiment to its own
level. as it has done to considerable ex-
tent in the past. But there are signs of
reaction made necessary by the abuses
that have been so long continued, and
when it does come the Republican party
must go to the wall.

A TOWN In FLAMES.
A Terrific COnfiagratiOn In New
RrunsWieks

sT. JOHN. N. B., November ia terri
BILE fire broke out in Woodstock at mid
night 1t commenced in the Institute build
ing and is supposed to have been the work
of an incendiary. A high wind pre-
vailed at the time and all efforts
to stop the progress Of the
flames were unavailing. The Western
Union offices both in the station of the New
Brunswick and Canada Railroad and
the regular office are destroy
ed, and It is impossible to get
full particulars. At a. m. the operator
in the general office said: "The upper half
of the town is gone and part of the lower.
The flames are all around me, and 1t is
getting too hot to stay any longer.
DR.. Smiths residence is gone, the
Free Baptist Church has been burned,
and the Registry ottice is in
flames. Efforts are being made to save the
new hotel, but it is now in great danger.
II the hotel goes it will be difficult to save
the town."
These are the last particu-
lars that have reached st. John,
1t is feared that there has been
loss OF life. Woodstock is on the st. John
river, and is the shiretown Of Carleton coun-
Uy. 1t contained over one hundred stores,
had a large number of hotels, several foun-
dries apd factories and a population Of
1000 or 5000.

COnklIng's Relations With Arthur


The question of ex-senator Conkling's
relation to President Arthur has been
much guessed at. / have some informa-
ton on that point, which is, think, new
and correct. When | was in Washington
city two or three weeks ago l met group
of New York city politicians who had
gone down there to secure the Presidents
influence for certain stalwart Senator
who had adhered to Conkling's cause at
Albany so tenaciously that he was about
to lose his Senatorship, the people not ad-
miring his course. His friends went to
Washington to see if the President would
not give them some encouragement to
run him nevertheless, and, perhaps, to
back him up with patronage. From one
of these gentlemen / have learned that
Mr.. Conkling, on the same day that
they called, had his final interview with
President Arthur. What Mr.. Conkling
asked the President to do my informants
do not know, but they affirm that on
that day a rupture was made. COnkling
left the President soured, came on from
Washington city, and asked the clerk
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel not to register
his name, and, staying that night at the
uOOCl, oIlppCO away Al eAO hOAhAASy oAN
has ever since remained in Utica. Here
my informant stops, though l might per
sonally guess what Conkling asked the
President to do. He may have asked
him to give distinguished positions to
certain of the parties who conducted his
cause at Albany, and were about to be
thrown out by the people He may have
asked the President to name Secretary
of the Treasury who would be Mr..
Conklipg's alter ego, and would handle
the Treasury Department so as to
keep solid Mr.. Conkling's personal
organization for future uses. The
President, however, had tested the
temper of the country, and felt that
it was altogether more safe and COM
Portable to put behind him the intense
exasperations in the State of New York,
which threaten to make it Democratic
this week. The same gentleman who
told me there was a coldness between
Conkling and Arthur, said last night: II
do not see how the Republicans can car
ry the State. The half-breeds have be-
come aggressive in so many districts, not
only in this city, but throughout the in
terror, that there will be cutting of
names. a running of opposition men, and
a total decentralization of our campaign
finances that must beat the ticket. We
can collect no money. The custom house
will not give us a cent. 1t takes large
amount of money and special effort for
the Republicans to carry New York.
