made early m Tuesday ct Eastlebat, eoahte
Mayo the victim being Joseph B. Walsh,
cousin of Michael Davitt, and well-tc-do
shop-keeper in that town. The warrant was
executed by Sub-Inspector Coughlan, and
County County Inspector Swindon and two
resident magistrates. Walsh was arrested in
his shop on Main street. There was intense
excitement. The military in the barracks
were held in readiness, and large drafts OF con-
stabulary had been brought from Galway
Tpam, and other parts Of the County Galway.
Walsh was escorted to the principal police bar
rack on Castlebar Green, and locked up until
the arrival of the p. m. train from Dublin.
Days Hotel was crowded with nationalsts all
day, hundreds pouring in from the adjoining
Villages and baronies.
AT 1.45 p. m. the prisoner was placed in a
covered car and driven to the Midland and
Western station, escorted by squad OF mount
ed police. He was loudly cheered. The sta
ton had been cleared of people, and he was at
sub-inspector and four Policemen being with

filled with police.
AT Manulla, Balla, Claremorrls, Ballyhan-
MIS- Athenry and other stations along the road
immense crowds gathered, and Walsh received
a series of ovations Large bodies of police
were drawn up on the station platforms. The
train reached Broadstone station, Dublin,
shortly before midnight. The building and
YARD were occupied by constabuary from
Phoenix Park depot, but there was a boisterous
crowd outside. A covered car guarded by
mounted police was driven out of the main en-
trance, and the mob ran after it thinking that
Walsh was inside. The prisoner was then
hustled into another car and driven through
the side entrance to Kilmainham Jail, the ruse
having succeeded admirably. After being
searched and submitting to the usual catechis-
ing as to name, religion, &c, he was
locked up for the night in quarter of the Jail
known as the Old Marshalsea, where for
merly master debtors, as distinguished from
pauper debtors, were contined:He will be treat

wear his own clothes and have food brought to
him. When the crowd found cut that they
had been gulled they returned to Broadstone,
it having been reported that special train
west would arrive at o'clock this morning,
but in this they were deceived again. During
the night crowds perambulated Stephens
Green, Rutland square. Sackville, Nassau and
Dame streets and the quays, singing and play
ing national airs, "O'Donnell Aboo," the
"Marseilaise of Connaught," being given in

1t is understood that Walsh has been arrest
ed for reasonable practices as well as fer minor
offences of ''inciting to acts of violence or in
timidation" and disturbing the maintenance
of law and ORDER in the proclaimed County
Mayo. He has for many years been a leading
spirit in the national cause IN Mayo His
business took him to fairs and markets all over
the country, and in season and out of it he
never failed to advocate repeal and propagate
the principals of the Land League.
He must not be confounded with his COUSIN
j. W. Walsh, of Balla, one of the traversers
at the recent Land League prosecutions
Walsh is good speaker and man of great
personal influence among the tenants and
peasantry. He took an active part in behalf Of
John O'Connor Power, M. p, when that gen.
tleman first contested Mayo in 1874, and was
denounced by the priests for the violent Ian
gg, uage he used towards George Browne and
Thomas Tighe the landlord candidates, who
sought election as Home Rulers =

A Great Demonstration in Cork.
There was an immense procession in Cork
last night. The crowd formed on Mardyke
and marched with torches past Bridewell
through the main street, the Grande Parade
and Patrick street, then back to the South
Mall to Warren's place, where they were ad-
dressed by speakers who counselled passive
resistance to the tyrannical action of the gov
ernRent. On being dispersed by the constab-
ulary the crowd reformed and marched across
Metal bridge and along the quay to Barrack
street, intending to hold another meeting at
O'Callahan's Gardens or on the Bandon road,
but the way was blocked by detachment of
military from Cat Fork. The procession then
broke up into gangs, which patrolled through
the principal streets, singing Fenian songs and
hating in front of the clubs ON South Mall
and groaning for the government and land
lords. There were demonstrations at Queens
town and Youghal.
The county of West Meath has been pro-
claimed. The executive council of the League
has made arrangements for series of meet
ings on Sunday, but it is believed that they
will be forbidden. Reports from the country
indicate that the agitation is dead and that the
March rents are being freely paid.
Great Fire in Paris.

ment called LIE Printemps, on Boulevard
Haussmann, has been fburned. The loss
is $5,0OO,0OO francs. Twenty-sx persons were
injured.
German Emigration to America.
LONDON, March "a correspondent of the
Times at Berlin comments on the great in
crease in emigration to the United States, and
says that whole villages are described by the
local papers as migrating from Posen, Prussia
proper, and Schleswig. The American emil
grafton agents, however, hardly dare set forth
the advantages of the various States which
they represent, as they are warned by the
American Legation that it would be unable to
help them if they should get into trouble with
the authorities. Mr.. Wrandel, an American
citizen of Hungarian extraction who two years
ago was forbid to lecture in Berlin on "Emi-
grafton" has just been equally unsuccessful in
his second visit designed to pursuade the au-
thorities of the folly of impeding emigration
1t appears, however that the precautions
against the exodus of young men have some
what abated in South Germany The German
government particularly aims to divert emiga-
ton from the United States.
