DAVITT AT BOSTON.
The Irish Patriot Enthusiastically Re-
eeivet-His Speech.

Boston, June 20.-Between 1000 and
5000 people gave Michael Davitt loud and
prolonged cheering as he appeared tonight
on the platform OF the Mechanics Fair
building, accompanied by John Boyle
OReilly, Mayor Prince and other WELL
known citizens. Mayor Prince presided.
As Davitt came forward he was received
with such bursts of cheers that it WAS some
time before he was able TO proceed When
the applause had subsidized he read carefully
prepared address in calm and dispassionst ate
language, presenting of the wrongs and
grievances OF Ireland and the remedies
which, in his judgment, should be applied.
He explained that his address was intended
rather for an American than an Irish audi
ence, and it was to appeal to tie under
standing OF the American people through
their press that he was speaking TO this large
assemblage. The position OF the American
people in the contest is purely 4 judicial
one, and public opinion in this country will
only consider the facts and statistics as pre-
scented by the Irish Land League. The speaker
then presented the statistics and argued that
landlordism as ii stands to-day is g wretched,
complete and unmitigated failure, and it has
resulted in the peasantry being compelled to
live in One-room nuts, on inferior diet, amid
agTarian crimes, murder and disaffection
He then proceeded to show that for the last
seventy years millions OF dollars had been
extracted yearly from the labor and soil of
Ireland by some 10000 individuals who con-
tributed scarcely anything 10 the country
themselves. Side by side, with this vast drain
of Irish wealth during the past century,
are no less than five fam;nes. Upward of
100000 of cur people starved during the
period OF these famines, and millions of
dollars have been distracted by few thou
sand landlords; and yet EDglishmen cannot
understand why we want this state of things
abolished. The speaker showed that but
one-fourth OF the land Of Ireland is under
cultivation, and explained the various plans
suggested for remedyingi these evils, all OF
which he though were too much in the inter

est of landlords themselves. Ny plan OF
settlement is this: Let the govern
meut issue bonds, or raise a public
loan of the amount Of e140, zoo, 900, bearing
three per cent. interest. Let this sum be a
compensation to the landlords for the land
which their ancestors seized from the peo-
pie of Ireland, without any compensation
whatever being granted. Let the land tax
OF ten per cent, or about one-half, be paid
to the landlords for rent, to be
paid TO state for the loss of liberal
revenues. Let Ireland have the right
OF sef-government, and let Ireland be ad-
ministered by an Irish Parliament. This is
what l advocated in Liverpool, and this is
my explanation OF what I mean by giving
land to the people, and this is what 1 say
here tonight. A peasant proprietary offers
nothing TO the industrial, non-agricultural
masses OF Great Britain and Ireland. Never
theless, if this solution of the Irish agrarian
war Is resolved upon, or undertaken by the
government in preference to my scheme, l
shall neither be insane enough nor
criminally stupid to thwart a settle
ment of a burning question by any blind idola-
Try OF my own views. Time has already vindi-
Gated my past efforts in the cause of Irish
land reform, and L can we'll afford to wait
TOR the approval which / am confident will
yet be won for my plan of final settlement
from people whom l am proud to feel do
not mistrust, and in whose behalf it is my
most cherished wish to devote my energies,
and, ii necessary, sacrifice my life.

AFRAID OF THE BISHOP.
The Ancient Order of Hibern1ans Sid.
ing with GflmOar I'm His Fight
with Ladies' Land League.

CLEVELAND, o., June 20.-In his present
troubles Bishop Gilmour has found friends
among the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
The Hibernian Rifles, a local society, led of
the other day by refusing to parade at a La
dies Land League picnic, and the ladies
resolved that the Hibernians were towards
and afraid of the bishop. To-day the repre-
sentatives OF twelve orders OF Ancient Hiber-
mans, comprising a membership of over
1000 1rishmeD, met and resolved that ave
indorse the ection OF the Hibernian Rifles in
refusing to parade at the recent so-called la
dies picnic; repIdiate and condemn as un-
patriotic and un-Irish tie persistent opposi-
ton to Church authority manifested by GER
tain ladies of the Parnell Branch Of the
Cleveland Land League; brand as uncath-
Ollie and out of harmony with the whole his
tory OF our country the spectacle of appeal
ing to the outside world for judgment on the
Church; abhor and detest the disloyal spirit
that could applaud insults offered to one
from whom the Holy Ghost tells us to re-
ceive the law regarding faith and morals,
and at the same time, without fear of CEN
sure or reproof from our bishop, profess our
selves TO be Land Leaguers, ever ready to
show our love for Ireland in ways other than
words or anonymous communications to the
daily press" 1t appears to be evident that
the war between the Ladies' Land League
and Bishop Gilmour will intimately lead to
big split in the Catholic Church.

"Why rot?"
"Well, it will be the short session, you
know, and will not be likely to do much ON
anything OF that nature. Then, it will be
the same Congress as this, and, having

measure would naturally have little inclina-

NIGHT SESSION
Opinions of Leading Democrats as to
the Result.

| Governor Harris, in his speech at the
m meeting on Monday night, SAID: ''The
| division of the party was unwise. A Re-
publican governor, and what was called a
| Democratic Legislature were elected. The
| bondholders then came along and demanded
| 100 cents on the dollar and three per cent.
Interest. The Legislature drafted a bill in
| accordance with the demands of the bond
holders, and the Supreme Court decided il
unconstitutional, thus making it null and
void. Immediately, or very soon thereafter,
the same bondholders submitted PROPOSE
ton TO settle the debt at sixty three-four-
iye-six, and the Legislature passed an act
IN aking this the basis of settlement. Sena-
tor Harris said that he would not hesitate
for moment TO accept this as a fnality of
the question, but Democrat he must
yield, and would yield to the decision OF the
party"
Senator Jackson is for a fair, honest and
honorable settlement in spirit OF harmony,
to deal with this question in such a way as
not TO offend, nor to drive anybody from
their ranks. 1t was very important that
they should settle this debt upon terms that
would not force the Democratic party to
split again.
Ex-Governor Marks believed that the
strongest, the best and the most popular set
Element would be at fifty and four. [Cheers,
throwing poi hats and prolonged applause.
The Democratic party of Tennessee, he said,
was wiser than he, and If it settled upon any
other figure they might swear that he would
stand by it all the time.
Colonel A. S. Colyar has no doubt about
the determination of the members of the
party TO come together and unite on some fit
basis of settlement.
Colonel John II. Savage wanted the State
debt proper paid dollar for dollar, but
wanted the railroad debt left unpaid until
the decision of the United States Supreme
Court could be rendered, which he thought
would be within the next twelve months.
General Gordon, of Memphis. was for fly
and three, but it the convention named sixty
and six he would abide by its action. II it
favored twenty-and-three he would stick to it.
Judge Morgan hoped the convention which
was about to meet would harmonic on some
platform which would result in a victory for
the party in the fall election.
D. l.. Snodgrass felt sure, however, that
the convention would hsrmsnize in opposi-
ton 70 sixty-and- six.
ID. F. Wallace thought that platform
similar to the one OF 1873 would be accept
able to the party. He was in favor of SUBJ
mission, and said that it would give satisfsc-
tion to everybody, whatever else was in the
platform.
Mr.. McNeal, of Hardeman, represents the
iifiy-and-iour element OF the party. He will
insist on the condemnation of the sixty and
six by the convention.
General Quarles expressed the belief
that the party could harmonize, but

A BIG RLUNDER.

THE PRESIDENT DIRECTED TO PAY JAPAN
S7S5,O0o OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-An instance Of
the effect OF too many congressional cooks
upon Legislative broth is found in the pres
emit condition Of the Japanese indemnity
fund bill. As amended BY striking ont and
inserting various words and lines, il is lefr
so that the President is directed to pay
Japan $7S5000 out of his own pocket. II
the House should concur, the President
would be justified in returning the bill with
demurrer. The original bill, as passed by
the House, provided for the restoration of
the fund to japan, it never having been con-
verted into the treasury. 1t was specified
that this fund, under control of the depart
ment of state, was the money to be returned.
The Senate struck out the words 'fund under
control of the department of state" and the
amount inserted was simply the new sum,
$3.50 ,O00," which the President was directed
to turn over to Japan through our minister
to that government; this without appropri-
ating anything. A line was also inserted d.
recting that the bonds which comprise the
funds shall be burned.

ENGLAND.
IN THE COMMONS.

| LONDON, June 20.-It was stated in the
House of Commons yesterday that the arms
| seized at Clerkenwell Saturday were manu-
featured by or for the government.
Mr.. Gladstone will be asked Thursday
whether the United States government had
refused to agree to the expulsion of Ameri-
can suspects from Ireland as a condition for
| their release.
The repression bill was adopted as far as
and including the tenth clause.
Gladstone moved that precedence be given
to the arrears rent bill whenever set down
over other business, except the repression
bill, and that there be morning sessions on
Friday. He said he wished to put the ar
rears bill into the committee pro tornla SO as
to allow amendments, including one author
izing the appointment of special agents 20
examine cases, and thus prevent crowding the
land courts. With regard to other business
of the House, he promised to provide for a
continuance of the Irish Sunday closing bill.
He suggested that the various bills by private
members relative to agricultural tenants be
read second time and referred to a commit
tee. He stated that the government intend
ed to proceed with the corrupt practices
bill. They were more than ever
convinced the procedure rules in some
sense transcend every other subject.
They therefore still deemed it their duty TO
avail themselves of every Legitimate oppor-
tunity 10 settle the question. Relative to
an autumn session, Gladstone said the gov
eminent would deem it their duty not TO
remit the settlement of the question of pro-
cedure to another session in the coming
year.
Northcote deprecated the idea of an au-
tumn session.
GIadstone's motion was adopted by a vote
of 253 to 81.
The mayor of Dublin appeared in his Of
c. l. A.
corporation of Dublin against the repression
bill. He attempted to make speech sum-
marizing the petition, when he was called to
order. Finally he merely read the petition.

EMPHASIZING the soul-haErowing pictures
hitherto presented By the Land Leaguers,
comes the statement made in Parliament last
week by Mr.. Trevelyau, the secretary for
Ireland, that during the first three months
of this yea 1000 families we're evIcted
in that country-35,0 900 persons turned out
OF house and hcme"-and that 1000 evic-
lions are reported each week. 1t is nom
sense TO talk OF land laws so long as this
goes on, and it is criminal to pass additional
repressive measures. Mr.. Gladstone should
without delay push his Pc ,sant-Proprietor-
shin bill, and before the fall sets in initiate
the policy of turning cut the landlords, who
have been curse and menace to the peace
of Ireland for many hundred years. With
peasant projectors aud home parliament,
ireland would fud release from all her pres
ent evils and move rapidly forward on the
road to prosperity.

CLEVELAND, June 2O.-More men left the

resuming their places is small, but the COM
pany officers report that applications are

other cities, presumably strikers, are arriv-

elsewhere seeking employment. There was
no disturbance at the mills when the men
went to work to day.
MighL-As the train loaded with workmen

rest of the woman. The least penalty for
the offense with which the man is charged
under the statute is $50 fine or six months in
