DUBLIN, April 1G.-An effort is being
made to effect a renewal OF the strike OF the
Irish police. A circular has been address
ed from Belfast to all stations throughout
the country advising and eXhorting the
men to strike, and urging that they would
be justified in their action by the long de-
lay OF the commission in publishing

ances which the men complained OF

Is pENIE REINSTATEMENT BY THE UNITED
STATEs sUPREME COURT AFTER HAVING Pan
T~lCIPATED IN A %LyNCnuNG.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April ia deci-
sion was rendered by the Supreme Court
OF the United States to-day in the case Of
j. Il. Wall, brought here upon Il petition
for a mdndGmuS from the United States
District Court for the Southern District OF
Florida. Wall, the petitioner, was dIsbar-
red and forbidden to practice in The United
States courts OF the district above men,
toned for having taken part in the lynch
ing OF a prisoner named Johns, who was
in Jail at Tampa, Fla, awaiting trial on
the charge OF rape. The petitioner asks
for n writ OF mdnddmus to compel the
United States District Judge TO restore to
him the rights and privileges Of an attor
ney in said court on the ground that his
disbarment without due trial and cOnyic-
ton for the crime was unconstitutional and
void.
This Court, in an elaborate opinion by
Justice Bradley, holds that. while there is
no settled and ~inleXible rule for the regu-
latiOn Of procedure in cases OF this kind,
the Federal courts may in their discretion
disbar an attorney who has been guilty of
conduct Of such nature as TO bring dis
grace and scandal upon the the Court.
whether he has been duly tried under the
criminal laws OF the State or not. The pc
tition for a mQnddmlS is therefore de-
MED.
Justice Field read a dissenting opinion.

AN APPEAL n A THREAT-ANoTHER PARTI
CIPANT on TRIAL.

INV Wv fNfhb
DUBLIN, April 16.-After the verdict had
been rendered against Joe Brady on Friday
the foreman Of the jury found a letter ut
home making q irenzied appeal for the re-
turn Of a verdict Of not guilty, and warn
ing him that otherwise ne would surely be
killed.
Daniel Curley, another OF the men in
dicted for participation in the murder Of
Cayendish and Burke in Phoenix Park, was
placed on trial in Green-Street courthouse
this morning.
DIR. Webb, Queens counsel, one OF the
counsel assigned by The Court to defend
the indicted men at the opening OF the
trial, asked that he be relieved from that
duty after the case OF CurIey is disposed
OF. The Judge stated that he would give
the request due consideration.
A servant girl who was in the park on
the 9th Of May was the first witness called.
She fully identified Curley as one OF the
men she saw in the park on that day.
James Carey was the next witness. He
swore that just before Burke was stabbed
he Carey heard him telling Cayendish
about the attempts that had been made to
take the life OF Forster. Carey admitted
that he had been engaged in twenty at
tempts to take the life Of Forster. He said
he would not have called Forster's "re-
moyal" a murder. He also said that the
eonspirators had arranged for the assas-
sination on the 4th Of May last OF Lieu
tenant-Colonel Hitler, then the Inspector
General OF the Royal Irish Constabulary,
and Mr.. Burke. Carey said he did not
think Burke deserved TO be murdered, but
lie would not have cried mt anything that
happened to Forster.
Farrell was the next witness. Upon the
conclusion OF his testimony the court adj
iourned until tomorrow.
Curley maintained an Indifferent appear
ance throughout the session OF court.
Mr.. Adams. another OF the counsel for
the defence. has also applied to be relieved
from further duties at the end OF the trial
OF Curlev.
The effect OF the letter received by the
foreman OF the jury which tried Joe Brady,
threatening that lac would be killed unless
a verdict OF not guilty was found, was
shown to-day by the fact that the special
iury-panel called IN the case OF CurIey there
were fifty persons who failed to appear.
Notwithstanding that they were warned
that a fine OF G100 would be imposed on
each absentee.

Congressman Springer Interviews
Upon the Sentiment of the Demo-
crnfic Il

CHICAGO, April 16.-Congressman Will
liam II. Springer, OF Illinois, who has been
in this city since Thursday, was inter
viewed to-day in regard to the published
statement that the general sentiment OF The
Democratic leaders present at the lroquois
banquet favored TIlden for President III
1891. He said the meeting was not
in the interest OF any candidate,
and, rs far rs he knew, no preference
was expressed. The one object OF the
meeting was to enunciate Democratic
principles and to voice the sentiment OF
the party on the great questions OF the
day. There was IN overwhelming senti-
ment, however, in favor Of a tariff for reve-
nue. only. and he was convinced that the
representatives Of the Northwest would
demand the insertion OF this plank in the
platform OF the next National Democratic
Convention.

A Destructive Fire in New York.

NEW YORK. April l6.-Tbe fiye-story
building Nos. 30, Isl, and 2S3 broadway,
occupied hv Bradstreet's Commercial
Agency, Il. Remington 81 sons, the ri1e-
manufacturers and the Hall Safe and
Lock COMPANY. was Quilted by fire yester-
dav. the total loss being about $4,000.
which is partly covered by insurance. The
fire started in the cellar under the Reming-
ton worcrooms. The building has 4 'front.'
o0e Of 40 feet on Broadway and is - feet
deem. with an l. shaped extension. II was
formerly the Irving House, and later was
used by Delmonico us a downtown restau-
rant
The fire Is attributed TO spontaneous
combustion in the ammunition stored in
the cellar under the warerooms OF the
Remingtons. The quantity of ammunition
which the firm carried was small, the law
which regulates the storage OF ammunition
within the city limits being rigidly en-
forced. The flames spread rapidly and
were soon on every floor. The heat was
intense and the smoke sitting. Fifteen
engines and the watcr-tower did effective
service, and IN two hours the fire was under
control. The building was, nevertheless.
completely Quilted. An insurance official
estimates the damage as follows: Brad
streets Commercial Agency, 500, 900 (;
Remington & Sons, $4,000; Hall Safe and
Lock Company, $1,000; the building,
$4,000.
In Bradstreet's offices were stored many
years accumulation OF statistics and imam
cial and commercial information. 1t is
hoped that these may be saved. They are
in iirc-proof safes. The firm recently had
their stock insured for 800, 600, and this
will probably cover their loss. il the books
are not destroyed. The fire will not inter-
rupt the regular working OF the agency
department OF Bradstreets, in the Broad
way building. Remington Il Sons loss
was mainly caused by water. and is par
italy covered by insurance. The Hall
Safe and Lock Company's loss is princi-
pally 10y water. The building belongs to
the Carter estate.
