LONDON, May 31.-At a crowded
meeting of the land league of Great Brit
ain last night, it was resolved to hold a
demonstration against the coercion act in
Hyde park on Sunday next.
Lord Salisbury, speaking of the ban
quet in London, SAID he had said the
house of lords would reject the land BILL
He had carefully guarded himself from
expressing an opinion, because he did not
know what kind of bill the house Of
commons might make it.
The Times IN a leading article this
m rnlng says 1T is believed that the
Irish executive has strongly represented
to the cabinet the necessity of adopting
measures for the suppression of the land
league" The writer adds: "If the league
is permitted to continue its work it will
bring the masses of the Irish people into
physical conflict with the British crown"

A WOMAN'S CRIME.
A House Full of Sleeping Occu.
pants Fired for the InSur-
ance.

NEW York, May S1.-Marie Varian,
aged 50, who keeps lager beer saloon at
354 Sixth avenue, was arrested this NOR
ming, charged with deliberately setting on
fire, Tor the sake of the insurance on it,
the house, in which score of persons
were sleeping, among whom was a woman
sick in childbed. The circumstances of
the discovery are such as to leave no doubt
as to the woman's guilt. The amount OF
the insurance for which so many lives
were risked is 1880. After thoroughly
soaking the floor of the basement, and a
heap of straw and rags collected there,
with petroleum, she set fire to it. The
police had warning of the affair." and the
match had hardly been applied before the
woman was arrested.

Courier-J -Journall
At the Louisville races, two excited
Tennesseeans were watching the con-
test between Cheatham and Boule-
ward. They had put up their money
on the Tennessee horse, and were en-
thusiastic. Cheatham would certainly
win. They shouted and gesticulated.
"Cheatham is a length ahead, but they
are holding him inl" "Hurrah for
Cheathamlp "Twenty to one on
Cheathaml" One of two dark and
bloody groundlings here spoke up:
"I'll bet you twenty even on Boule-
vardl" Done" cried the Tennes-
seean; and he handed the other dark
and bloody grounding the money to
hold. The Tennesseeans continued
cheering, but presently Boulevard
came in two seconds ahead. The an
nouncement was like q shock to the
Tennesseeans. Never did two human
countenances undergo a more sudden
change. Only one conld find words,
but these were vehement. "Son of a
mink son Of mink son Of a minkl'
came up from the depths Of his soul;
and then the two Tennesseeans hur.
ried away. Moral: Never take your
patriotism to the races.

A RATHER amusing trial came off
in Alexandra, Virginia, last week,
befor, United States Commissioner
Fowler. The defendant was JOHN
Carmichael, of Middleburg, Loudon
county, Virginia. His otfense con-
sisted in mailing a postal card to SEN
ator Vance, on which was written: !:
"Please send me your speech on that
DANA deg Malone" But the senator
has never received that card yet. 1t
was forwarded 10 the postmaster-gen-
eral for inspection, and after passing
through various hands the wise ones
who have charge of public morality de-
cided that these bad words constituted
a violation Of the statute against send
ing obscene or indecent matter
through the mails. 0n TIE trial it
was brought to notice that the word
sCurrilous has been stricken from the
statute. Very able counsel appeared
on both sides, including Senator Nor
gan, who represented the prisoner.
After full examination and some
amusing episodes aud cross firing, the
commissioner decided that tho words
damn dog" we're offensive to the fine
deIieacy of the public, and he, there
fore. held Mr.. Carmichael to appear,
under $500 bonds, before the United
States cirenit court, to convene at
Alexandria on the 9th of July. This
is a fair notice. therefore, to
that class of American citizens in
clined to indulge in the mental
luxury of writing emphatic words be-
fore or after the name Of Senator Ma
hone or any other senator, that it will
cost a threa-cent stamp, and even
then It might be best and safest to
send only anonymous communications.
The postal officials aie lynx-eyed, and
will not permit anything to pass
through the mails thai is offensive to
public or private deljcacy, and it is
not impossible for letter to fall open

The first ballot for UnAed States
senator's will have been cast in the
New York legislature before this ap-
pears in print, and we hope to give
the result. A desperate effort has
been made to force the republicans
into caucus, and secure the nomina-
tion of COnkling and Platt. This,
however, failed, and although meet
ing was held, there was not quorum
present. State Senator Mills, who
has heretofore been noncommittal,
declared yesterday against the
reelection Of Conkling and Platt.
The chances of those two worthless
seem to be hourly diminishing. The
democrats, being in the minority, had
no trouble in holding harmonious
caucus. They nominated for United
States senators Senator John c. Jay
cob Tor the snort term, created by the
resignation Of Roscoe Conkliug, and
Francis p. Herman in place of Platt.
Fifty-seven members who support the
administration of Garfield met last
night, and united in declaring
THAT they would withhold their
support from Conkling and
Platt. Notes were received from thir
teen more, saying they would vote for
men who would support the admins
tration. Under these circumstances,
the chances Of the anxious pair to go
back to the senate seem to be slim
and gro wing beautifully less. 1t would
not be matter Of surprise if they
were to withdraw from the race, and
not the least surprising to see Cover
nor Cornell elected to one of the va
cancies, although he is not candidate.
