Destitute Irish EmigrantS for
minnesota.

Montreal special: A genuine spec
linen on an extensive scale of
Irish desttution and miserable poverty
was witnessed i'm Montreal recently by
the arrival of 300 immigrants from Con-
ncmara county, en- route to st. Paul,
Mimi, with the intention of settling in
that state. They were accompanied by
a young priest, to whom they looked for
consul and assistance, rs they were all
in an impecuniOus condition. Their APP
pcarance was indeed miserable IN the
extreme. Each was poorly clad for
this climate, and II great many were
without shoes. They were mostly in
families, and seemed careworn and
emacatcd. Even the train hands were
afraid to enter the cars until hose was
applied TO wash out the interior. The
party is an installment of those sent out
by the Tukes committee. 1t will take
them considerable time to recupe rate
their wasted strength before they can
60 to work vigorously on lands. Owing
TO their being for the States. the Cana
dian authorities did not provide them
with food, as is done en- route with their
own immigrants.

History of u Washington Lot.

Pittsburgh Dispatch: Henry, Clay
once owned the lot opposite the White
house, in Washington, and Commodore
John Rogers wanted it, but the Old whig
persistently refused to dispose Of it,.
On his return from the Mediterranean
the commodore brought in one of his
vessels fine Andalusan jackass which
Clay wanted for his Kentucky stock
farm. All his offers were rejected until
one day the commodore said: "Iou
can have him for your lot opposite the
white house" Done" was Clay's re-
ply, and the animal was shipped off to
Kentucky. The commodore now built
the historic honse which Secretary Sew
ard occupied during the war. Here
Payne endeavored to assassinate him on
the night when Lincoln was shot. The
lot is now valued at $4,000.

The receipts into the national treasury
for the month just closed were $26, lGi,-
$40, and for the corresponding month
of lasti year $34, ,4GS, $50. The total de-
crease Of revenues for April, 1883, COM
pared with April of 1899, was $S.30i ,O70
For the period of ten months ending
April 80, there is II very striking de-
crease, compared with the sane period
for 1889. For the ten months of the fs-
cal year up TO April 80, 1883, the recei pts
were 1928 800, ,956. For the same period
Of last year the total was S333, $50 sol, n
fallin. off of s. Gao ,0I1 The Washington
authorities, as usual, are alarmed at the
alling off, and fear that the treasury
will run behind during the current
months, and say that no more bond
calls can be made during the fiscal year,
and that the reduction Of the public
debt is probably practically stopped for
the present. But the falling off will have
to be much larger, than any yet report
to make serious inroads upon the
vast surplus that has been pouring into
the treasury for years, notwthstand-
ing the reports from Washington.

Mr.. Sargent, United States minister to
Germany, has given offense to the Ger
man government by dispatch concern
ing the exclusion of American pork from
that country. The dispatch was pub
lished with others by the state depart
ment some time ago, and the newspa-
per organ of Prince Bismarck is in great
wrath about it, and intimates that our
government may expect All official inti-
nation that he is no longer agreeable to
the court of Germany, and that his re-
call would oblige the emperor. Mr..
Sargent intimates to his own govern
ment that retaliatory measures might
be the only effective means Of bringing
the German government to reason, and
that, while Americans wOuld not force
upon any people products injurious to
health, we ought not to submit to an eX-
clusion of our products under false pre-
tanspa

A Dreadful Fate.

The steamer Gappler, plying between
Puget Sound and Alaska, was burned on
the Sd inst, and sixty lives are reported
lost. The steamer burned four miles off
Seymour Narrows. The fire being dis
covered, the engineer Immediately re-
ported to the captain. The 100 passen-
gers. principally Cinnamon, were all
abed. Immediate search was made by
the captain, who discovered fire back Of
the boiler connections. The engineer
started the donkey aud connected the
hose. BY this time the passengers were
warned and the excitement was intense
the Cinnamon behaved like maniacs, be-
ing utterly uncomfortable, and impeding
the officers. The captain ordered all shot
who refused To obey orders. Not
withstanding this, the Cinnamon rushed
backward and forward on the vessel
until it was found necessary to
knock some down and carry below
others, ironed. All this time the fire
was gaining. and efforts TO con-
trol it were entirely unavailing. The
captain ordered Pilot Franklin to head
the steamer for the Vancouver shore
and beach her. AS soon as the sands
were struck boats were lowered, but the
excitement was SO great that the China
men jumped into the boats and swamp
ed them, and, owing to the binding
smoke, those who could swim did not
know which way to strike out, and, be-
ing surrounded by mass of struggling
Chinamen, were drowned.

London Times on the Irish Con
Vention.

The Times in IN editorial says The
Irish convention at Philadelphia began
with clap-trap of folly and malignity,
and closed after the same fashion. The
whole scene would be painful, were it
not suprcmely ridiculous. The only
practical suggestion made by the convcn
ton for injuring Great Britain is the ad-
vice to the people Of Ireland to buy
nothing from England unless obliged to.
Ii is u confession of importance when
Irish malace is driven to such Il paltry
expedient, which, if tried would only
injure its adopters. The lesson for
Great Britain is To ignore the Irishmen,
and abandon all hope Of bringing them
to better frame of mind by the contin-
uance of unmeritcd favors. They have
already convinced the rest Of the world
that they are unfit to have national in
dependence, and they must be made to
feel the strong hand Of the law.

A Heavy Storm in Texas.

A special to the Fort Worth CTexas)
Gazette gives meagre particulars Of a
terrific wind and hail storm which pass
ed over the country south and west of
that place Friday evening. 1t was first
reported at Cameron, about 40 miles
south on the Santa Fe road, and seems
to have followed the line Of that road,
doing great damage to houses and fences
until it reached Cleburne, thirty miles
south of that place, when itturned west
ward, and passed over Palo Pinto and
Mineral Wells, where it was last heard
from. At palo Pinto the Masonic hall
and steam Touring mill were blown
down. Loss, $2S 900. Several people
were seriously injured. Another storm
passed over Bonham from the same
direction, but four hours earlier. The
amount of damage is not reported.

Great Prosperity i'm Mexico

The state department will publish i'm n
few days the annual report Of Consul
General Strother, Of Mexico. In it he
says the republic is enjoying degree of
material prosperity heretofore unknown
in her history. The successful initiation
of the extensive system on railroad COM
muncation has given stimulus to all
branches of industry, the results of
which it would be difficult To estimate.
Mining is increasing to an extraordin-
ary degree, both in extent and variety.
The stimulus given to the agricultural
interest has been equally notable. The
culture of the cereals. corn. wheat and
barley, has been greatly increased, as
has been likewise the planting Of sugar

Decision Concerning Homestead
Communications New Facts About
Homestead Entries.
The commissioner of the general land Of
fee has sent letter to the register and re-
ceiver at st. Cloud, Mimi, regarding home
stead commissions. The commissioner
holds that under the rulings and practice OF
the office, I'm accordance with the third sec
tion ofthe act of May II, 1881, a person
duly qualified to make a homestead entry,
who has settled upon tract OF land legally
subject TO homestead entry, with the inten
ton to acquire title to the same
under homestead law, and who has re-
sided upon and cultivated the same for the
period Of six months, may make his home
stead entry and give notice Of his intention
TO make commutation proof under Sec. 1901
Of the Revised Statues, on the same day, or
he may give notice oi his intention to make
the entry and the Communication proof I'm ad-
vance; aud after the notice shall have been
posted and published in the manner and for
The m Rod prescribed by act of March j.
1879 he may legally make the homestead
entry and the commptat0n OH the same
day.
The commissioner of the general land
Office has sent to the land officers ofCrooks-
ton, Mimi, lettcl in which he holds that
the i've years allowed in a homestead entry
dates from entry and not from the com
men cement OF personal residence on the land
entered. This decision was rendered on the
appeal of Barney Phillips, from a decision
OF the land officers rejecting final proof Of
fer.d by him in homestead entry. The
facts are that Phillips made his entry Nov,
q, 1877, established an actual
bona fide residence on the land March 10,
1878, and had continuously resided thereon
and cultivated the same up to date OF final
proof Jan. ii, 1883, period OF iour years,
nine months and twenty. nine days from
date Of beginning actual residence and OF
five years, two months and eight days from
date of entry IL was endorsed by the local
land office dpon final proof, as follows:
Rejected for the reas on that the within
testi ony does not show All actual residence

through his attorney, appealed from this

| the general land office, and urges that, in
asmuch as his residence was established on
| the land within six months from date OF en-.
| try, he was not IN default, and his time Oi
| residence counts from the time he filed his
| homestead entry. The commissioner says
"Y1ur action in rejecting the final proof was

| Philips are well taken, and are hereby sus

1t is believed that the number of i'm
migrants this year will be 100000 less
than during 1882, owing to better times
abroad and increased remuneration for
labor. The immigration of the last few
years must have relieved the over
crowded labor fields of the old world, to
a much greater extent than is generally
supposed. This relief, however is only
temporary. The natural increase OF
population will soon place things rs they
were, and then immigration will come
in again as the only security against star
walton. The swarmng population of
Europe can only be kept alive by an
open outlet for the surplus and average
crops. A failure Of either for few
seasons would make famine and starva-
tion

cabinet Lord Granville took the ground
that the government was far from pre-
pared to ask for the extradition, and
said that the correspondence he had
had with Washington, as well AZ the in
formation he had derived from the
American minister at London, convinced
him that unless the government was bet.
ter equipped with evidence the extradi-
ton, if requested, would be refused.
He advised the Withholding of the de-
mand for extraditon until the govern
