SUCCESSION OF JOHN H. E. GALE.

The State of Louisiana. Parish of st.
Tammany-Eighteenth Judicial Dis
trict Court.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1881-02-28

New YORK, February 27.-A very large
Land League meeting was held in East
Forty fifth street this afternoon. John De-
Voy was present, and was loudly applauded
on entering the hall. Mr.. NJ. D. Gallagher
explained the aims and methods of the
Land League.
There was danger, he said, that persons
not informed on the Irish land question
would look upon the movement as an eff
fort to subvert vested rights. This was not
the case, nor was 1t true, as some of the
newspapers in England have it, that all, or
nearly all of the present landed proprietors
OF Ireland had received their titles from the
Landed Estates Court.
He mentioned some of the largest land
owners, whose fathers had received whole
districts of land, stolen from the people for
disreputable services rendered the English
Government. The fact was that the land Of
Ireland had been stolen by force and arms
from the people, and it's return to the people
would be only the restoration of stolen
property; but the Land League did not want
to take the land from the present possessors
without compensation. 1t was proposed to
give fair price, to be paid by the tenants
In instalments. There are two very strong
reasons why the American people should
ment. Irish landlords really live in luxury
in London and Paris at the expense of
America. Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars are sent to Ireland yearly by Irish sons
and daughters in America, to pay the ex-
orbitant rents, to keep roof over fathers
and mothers, and helpless little brothers
and sisters. II the Irish people owned the
land this drain would not be necessary,
and the money would be expended and in
vested here. The other reason is a patriotic
one. Irishmen and sons of Irishmen
In the United States had ever proved
themselves ready to sacrifice their
lives In the hour of Americas
need. When the Irish people asked
American sympathy and support, they were
not begging, they were only asking some
return for what they had done for America.
A large number present joined the League.
BROOKLYN, n. Y, February 27.-At the
Parnell Land League meeting to-day Su-
perVisor Richard Lauer, native
of Holland, referred to the treat
ment of the Beers by the British
Government, stigmatising it as atrocious.
He said he fully sympathized with the Irish,
and advised them to act In the same way as
the Beers had done to maintain their rights.
This, he said, was the only thing left for
them to do.

WASHINGTON, February 26.-The Demo
cratic members Of the Senate had private
conference to-day for the purpose of ex-
changing views on the order of business, and
discussing several matters relative to the
organization of the next Senate.
The fact that the Senatorial term
of the President of the Senate
pro. tenn. (Judge Thurman) will expire
at noon on the 4th OF March was brought
before the conference, and as it is the duty
of the President pro tenn. to swear In new
Senators when the Senate reconvenes imme-
diately after that hour, attention was called
to the need OF electing some one for the
position whose term will continue into the
next session 1t was agreed that caucus
meeting shall be held before the 4th of
March to select candidate and elect sue
cessor to the Senator.
Mr.. Wallace, the present Chairman Of the
Caucus Committee, was appointed to ex-
anime the credentials of the new Senators
and ascertain whether defects exist in them
upon which objections could be based to
swearing in any of the Senators elect. The
sense of the caucus was decidedly in favor
OF maintaining the present organization and
officers IL the Democrats control the next
Senate.
It is understood that the suspended nomi-
nations of Matthews, Billings and others
were to-day somewhat discussed with refer
ence to the hest method of disposing of
them. but material differences of opinion
being developed, no action was taken.

ment of His Troops Left-GeneFaI
Wood About to Retreat.

LONDON, February 26.-A dispatch from
Newcastle, Natal, says Hottentot prisoner
has escaped from Faingsuek, where he had
been for fortnight. He said there are Z, 900
Beers there, and that they are building very
strong stone wall on Aumila mountain.
The Beers have two old guns. When
they heard Of the arrival of the British
reinforcements a large number OF the
Utrecht Beers wished to return home but
the others would not allow them to do So
The Beers, In anticipation of an attack, have
sent five hundred Of their wagons into the
interior.
MOUNT PRosPEcr, natal, February q.
Gen. Colley with six companies has taken
possession of Spitzkop, q position to the
left of Laigsneck. Firing has been heard all
the morning.
NEWCASTLE, NATAL, February 27.-A
severe engagement took place today be-
tween the Beers and General Colley's force,
and the latter was driven from its position
at Spitzkop. There was great loss on both
sides. Many British officers were killed
and wounded.
later telegram from Colley's Camp
says: "All the wounded coming In agree In
reporting that General ColleY has been
killed, and that only one hundred British
have escaped"
The Beers charged upon the hill four
times and were about to retreat, when the
British were forced to retire, because the re-
serve ammunition had not been taken to
the extreme summit.
LONDON, February %. MIDNIGHT.-Gen.
Colley, in dispatch which he sent pre-
vious to the engagement to-day, saws: "We
occupied Magoda Mountain Saturday
night. 1t Immediately overlooks the Beers
position. The Beers are fighting us from
below"
In later telegram he says: "The Beers
are still firing heavily on the hill, but have
broken up their laager and begun to move
away"
The War Office has received the following
telegram from Col. Bond, commanding at
Mt Prospect
''Gen. Colley, with % officers and 627
men, consisting of infantry and the Naval
Brigade, proceeded on Saturday night to oc-
cupy Maoda Mountain. The B 1ers attacked
him at z a. m. Sunday. At one o'clock D. m.
the firing increased. At 2:20 it became
evident from the camp that we had lost the
hill, and that our men were retiring under a
heavy fire. There is no doubt that General
Colley is killed.
General Wood telegraphs corroborating
the above, and says he will return to New
castle on Monday

FIGHTING CONSOLIDATION.
Argument Heard on the French
Gable COmpany's Suit.

NEW YORK, February 26.-The argument
before Judge Blatchford, of the United
States Circuit Court, relative to the tenn
porary injunction in behalf of the French
Cable Company restraining the carrying out
OF the agreement of consolidation, was con-
tinued to-day. Several afidaVits in rebuttal
Of those put In evidence by the complainant
were produced by the defense and admitted
by the Judge.
One Of the affldavits was signed by Nor
vim Green, who, as President of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, testified
that there had been no complaint from the
French Cable Company that it did not get
its full share of the cable business. That
the nature and existence of the arrange
ment between the Western Union and the
Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Companies
was known to the plaintiff before 1873. and
that he believed the complaint of the
threatened loss of business by the French
Cable Company was only the pretended
and not the real cause of bringing the suit.
Jay Gould testified that it was untrue that
negotiations relative to the agreement of
December, 1880, which complainant alleges
is detrimental to its interest, were made as
the result OF any unlawful combination or
confederation whatever.
Several other affidavits of similar import
were admitted in evidence, when General
Swayne opened the argument in behalf of
the defense.
He argued that if the Injunction to re-
strain the carrying out of the consolidation
agreement was allowed, an execution of it
would be impracticable. That the agree
ment Of December, 1880, was of no binding
force, and that 1t was shown by the record
Of h naA n
enjoyed the right to send incoming messages
and collect outgoing messages from every
Office of the Western Union Company.
L. L. Dela6eld, counsel for the plaintiff,
asked to be allowed to produce the list Of
stockholders of the Western Union In order
to show that Jay Gould owned the principal
shares OF the stock of that company, as
well as that Of the American Union, which
he (JaY Gould) admitted that he owned.
Judge Blatchford stated that IL it proved
material at any stage of the case, ne would
admit the evidence alluded to.
