Their Regular Spring Time Bail VIII
be Held on Wednesday, April IL.

That substantial old Omaha insti.
tion, the Emmett Monument associa.
tion, are out with tickets for their
fourteenth annual ball, to be held on
Wednesday evening, April 11th, at
Crounse's new hall, which they have
secured for formal opening for danc-
Ing purposes. The wall of distress
now floating over the Atlantic from
the famine stricken sections of Ire
land has decided. the Emmets TO donate
the net proceeds of the ball for the
suffering people of their mother coun-
try. The oapacious new hall erected
by Mr.. Crounse has been placed at
their disposal, and no effort will be
spared to make the affair as great q
success and fully as enjoyable as for
mer efforts of the Emmets. The hall
will be fully completed by the 1lth of
next month, with every accessory nec-
essary to render dancing enjoyable.
They sb ould meet with hearty sup
port In this effort to contribute some-
thing to relieve the terrible suffering
which the telegraph informs us is of
daily occurrence In ireland. The
tickets are placed at 81 90, and are
now In the hands OF the members for
sale. Competent committees have the
matter In charge, and jolly good
time Is assured.

ERIoHTs OF PASSENGERS.
An Opinion by the Supreme Court OF
Illinois.

CHICAGO, March 31.-Tne supreme
bonch of Illinois, the whole bench
aasenting, has Just filed an opinion
declaring In substance that the Pull
man palace car company and like cor.
porations are common carriers, placing
them on the same category as railroad
companies. This is contrary to the
decision given by the same tribunal
several years ago, and affirms the
principle that the present state legis-
lature has endeavor to embody In the
statute. The suit was brought by
Luke Levin against the car company
for refusing to permit him to occupy
the sleeping birth assigned him, which
he offered to pay for. The lower
courts decided the plaintiff had
no power to enforce accom-
mediation from the car com.
pany, and that it was optional on it's
part to furnish the same. The court
asserts that the running of the sleep.
ers has become business and social ne
cessity, and In that view the law can
impose obligations on the company the
same as on railroads, ferrymen and
inn-keepers. Ia the language of the
opinion, "Where, therefore, a psssen.
ger under the rules Of the company is
entitled to berth by paying the usual
fare and to whom no personal objec-
tion attaches, enters the compsny's
aleeping car at the proper time for the
purpose of procuring accommodations
for birth, offering or rendering tbs
customary price therefor, the compa
ny is boundto furnish it, provided II
has one at its disposal" For {
breach of any of these implied dutie'

WASHINGTON, April 1.-While the

British government concerning the
utterance and the actions of oltiz sns
of Ireland aud Irish sympathizsrs in
the United States, your correspon.
dent has authority to say that the

called the attention of the government
to these utterances, but in an entirely
friendly way, and without any de.
mand for redress other than might bs
suggested to this government after a
full investigation of the whole sub.
ject. The president, after the COM
muuication of the British minister
had been laid before him by the sec.
retary of state, called the attention of
the cabinet to 1t, and, after briefly
stating his own views, requested
the members of the cabinet to
submit their Views in writing
to him at the next cabinet
meeting. Tnis was done on Friday

said that there was no dissent in the
opinion that In the existing situation
of affairs the government would not
be justified In interfering with the
Irish sympathisers now in this coun
try. One of the paperg submitted BY
the cabinet members enters into an
exhaustive review of the policy of the
British government with reference to
political refugees from other countries
who have sought an asylum in Eng

Of Great Britain to surrender or inter
