Assisted Emigrant Debate.

LONDON, July SIN the Commons
tonight, T~revelyan, chief secretary
OF Ireland, replying to a question
from VIM. O'Brien, member from
MallOw, as to whether in view of the
recent action Of the Emigration Com
m%issioners at New York, the deporta-
ton OF paupers from Ireland to the
United States would be stopped, said
in view of the action of the commits
sioners, orders would be given to sus-
pend grants of money in cases where
1t it is supposed that former inmates
OF a work house are among those
desiring t emigrate.
In reply to a question as to what
particular fund the money would be
taken from to defray the expense of
carrying back these emigrants, and
returning them to their res pectiye
work houses from which they have
been sent, Trevelyan said it would be
premature to speak in that regard.
Joseph Cowan, a radical member
Tor Newcastle-on-Tyne, asked
whether America would allow emf
grants to land if Great Britain al
lowed them the means of sustenance
for the present. Trevelyan replied

Montana Mine Decision.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The Secre-
tary OF the Interior has decided in
the case of the Rob Roy mineral lode,
in Helena, Montana, that where two
applications have been made and the
first has abandoned the ground in
controversy, it comes within the pur-
view of the second application and is
subject thereto. Previous to this de-
cision, it has been held by the depart
ment in ase of the abandonment of
land in controversy that the aban-
doned track should revert to the pub
lie domain. In the case of Bob Tail
Mineral district, Deadwood. Dakota,
the Secretary of the Interior decides
that after a claimant has obtained
judgment in his favor in a court of
competent jurisdiction, he is at
liberty to take the necessary steps
pointed out by the statute to obtain
apatent. He need not wait for time
allowed the claimant to appeal to a
higher court to expire, but he may
proceed, subject to being again staye1
by the appeal. But it an appeal is
taken, the steps which he had taken
subsequent to the Judgment toward
obtaining a patent are held to be
valid it he be finally successful in the
higher court.

Riot of Miners.

BosToN, July "a special from
South Royalton, VT, says: There is
great excitement at the Ely mines.
One hundred miners are engaged in
q riot, on account Of back pay, and
have forced r. N. Cozine, superin-
tendsnt Of the mine, to leave town,
escorting him with a mob through
West Fairlee. .Cozine's team was
stopped by the leader of the mob,
who were armed with clubs and re-
volvers, and compelled him to wait
until three derisiYe cheers were Civ
en, "for the man we rode out of
town." The mob threatened te burn
ali the property if their wages were
not paid tonight, including tho ele-
CANT residence of Ely and Goddard.
The wives Of the miners collected
bushels of stones in anticipation Of q
row. The miners are said to have
possession of all the mine explosives.

London Notes.

LONDON, July SIN the Com
mons this afternoon, Sir William
Harcourt said the government would
Introduce a bill concerning the stor-
age OF petroleum, bat he had little
hope it would pass during this ses-
sion.
Lord F%itznnaurice, Under FOREIGN
Secretary, said the government had
not been informed that the French
flag had been hoisted on New Heb
rides Island. He also stated there
was no cholera in either the Epvp-
tian or the English army.
Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ire
land, replying to O'Brien, member
for Mall0w, said he had been in
formed that out of 1000 emigrants
who had gone to America, only two
families had been inmates of the
Workhouse at Belmullet, from which
section they came, and they had re-
ceived money on landing and were
doing well. He was not aware of the
grounds ON which the United States
had returned the emigrants, but sun
posed they thought they were not de-
sirable settlers.

were willing to vote for a life sen-

up to that degree, but the latter
stood out. Defendant will have to

Der next, and great doubt is express

Irish Relief Bill.

LONDON, July 6.-In the course of
the debate on the relief for distress in
Ireland bill, Trevelyan said the &C.
counts Of the state Of the country
were hopeful, and there was no rea-
son to expect distress. The amend
ments to the bill authorizing unions
receiving grants under the act to give
relief for two months to needy per-
sons outside of the workhouse, and
forbidding any part of the money to
be used for emigrant purposes, were

Cadets Stand by the Law.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The cadet
engineers class of 1881, who have
been notified of their dismissal from
the navy, under the provisions of an
act of August, 1882, have refused to
accept their discharge, and a years
pay rendered with it. It will be re-
membered that the Court of Claims
decided this act had no application
whatever to these young men, while
the Secretary of the Navy decided
directly to the contrary. In a COM
munication addressed to the Depart
ment, the cadets say they feel bound
to respect the decision of the court,
and believe their discharge without
authority of law, and hence null and
void. They will therefore continue
to report for duty from time to time,
and sue for their pay as it accrues.

A Bungling Job.

Ell PAso, Tex, July6.-Jas. Brews-
ter, q soldier guilty Of a rape on Mrs.
Davis, at Fort Davis, . year ago,
was hanged at Ysleta this afternoon:
He made no confession, but delivered
q speech Of twenty minutes, during
which he took two big drinks of
whiskey, his religious adviser taking
the bottle from him once. The knot
was tied in a bungling manner, and
after the fall Brewster writhed and
twitched terribly. Then the rope
slipped and he was hauled up through
the trap upon the platform, where
the rope was replaced. The man
then rehung, and after being
cut down, was placed in a redwood
and given in charge OF the
Catholic priest. Over 500 were pres
ent.

Grand Tour of Knights Templars.

Grand Tour of Knights Templars.
CHICAGO, July G.-Arrangements
have now been completed for a pill
grimage of Sir knights and Apollo
Commandery to European exhibit
ton which has been looked forward
to with pleasure by all members OF
the order and their friends. 1t was
decided long since, as will be remem-
bered, that the Apollo should take
this excursion instead Of going to San
Francisco to participate in the Tri-
ennial Conclave, and there were not
wanting some who thought at the
time that the trip would not be made.
EVERYTHING, however, has fairly been
completed in the way of preparation
for a grand tour. Sir Knights and
their ladies will leave Chicago on
the 18th, and will reach New York
on the 18th. At New York the pill
grims will be joined by a. deleAation
Of eastern Knights, including Phila-
delphia, New York and neighbor-
hood. It is expected the entire party
will be on board the steamer at noon.
Landing in England the pilgrims
will go at once to London, where a
reception will be rendered them by
the knights Templars. Thereafter,
leaving London, they will probably
separate into smaller parties, SEINE
going to France and others to other
places on the continent.

Disposal Of Apache Prisoners
Chief Moses Surrenders
His Reservation.

WASHINGTON, July 6-Secretary
Lincoln, accompanied Dy Gcu.
Crook, called at the department OF
interior this afternoon and neld =
long conference with Secretary Tel
Ter in regard to the disposition OF the
Apache c~aptives. At the conclusion
of the conference Secretary Teller IN
formed representatives OF the ASSOC
ated press that he had declined TO re-
ceive the captives on the San Carlos
reservation and be responsible 1or
their good behavior, but the Propo-
sition was made to turn them over TO
the war department police, who con.
troll the reservation, and hold that
department responsible for the GOOD
behavior of the Indians, leaving the
agent responsible only for financial
matters pertaining to the agency.
After discussing the proposition it was
decided to leave the matter in abey-
ance for the present. Another con-
ference will be held for the purpose
of deciding the proposition. Gen.
Crook was present at a cabinet
meeting to-day, from which it is in
ferred that the Indian question was
under consideration, as the result OF
the conference with Secretary Teller
to-day.
Chief Moses agrees to surrender his
reservation in Washington territory,
and settle with his people on Col
Vile reservation, adjoining. Tomas
kat, who represents the Indians on
Colville reservation, was present at
the conference and agreed to receive
Moses and his people. Chief Tomas
kat requested Secretary Teller to
erect upon Colville reservation saw
mill, grist mill and school house and
furnish physician for the Indians.
Moses gave notice that he
would expect compensation for re-
his reservation. It is ex-
the agreement between the
government and Chief Moses will re-
suit in throwing open for settlement

Commission Troubles in Utah.

ST.. PAUL, July Ex-Governor Ram
sew, head of the Utah Commission,
who has just returned FROM salt
Lake. said to a Tribune correspond
ent to-day, in speaking of the work
of the Commission, that the cleo
ton to be held August 9th is really a
test of the whole matter. The elec-
ton last year of delegate to congr es
did not touch the hearts Of the p.eo
pie, nor especially awaken their in
%terest, but the August polling is fer
members of the legislature, probate
judges, sheritfs, etc., offices which
come directly home to local interest.
Section nine, Of the Edmunds bill, as
you will see by reading it, defines the
duties of the Commission of which l
am chairman, and it is plain by its
wording that it evidently contem-
plates legislative enactments, which,
if passed and carried into. effect,
would render the Commissi; n use
less. The question is, will the legis-
lature pass such laws? Will they
prohibit polygamists from voting and
from sitting upon juries in cases
where polygomy is in question Or in
any way at issue? In short, will
they enforce the same regulations
against polygamy that the Commits
sion is instructed with carrying out?
That the future will have to de-
eide. When it comes to a
construction of the law, as to who
constituted polygamous persons, the
commission was compelled to give
the language its broadcast sense and
regard as polygarnists, and conse-
quently ineligible for registration and
franchise all who had eve practiced
pelygamy at all-everyone who had
lived and cehabited with more than
one, and had All u~ndivorced woman
as mis- wife. If this construction had
not been put upon the law at the date
for registration, avowed polygamlsts
would have put away all but one wife
and appeared with a claim of mono
gamy. When I left we had received
returns from all polling places and
had appointed judges, three to each
precinct, in all the twenty four coun-
ties, or between 500 and 600 in all.
The next Legislature must be elected
by monagamists, and none of the
members can, under the law, be pO-
lygamists under the above construc-
ton Of the meaning of the words in
the Edmunds bill. We have person
ally been treated very civilly by Gen
tiles and Mormens, though of course
the subject of much criticism; the
latter claiming that the law was an
intrenchment upon their Territorial
and personal rights, and that W. had
not enforced the law properly, and
extremists OF the former class aver
ing that the law was of no use, not
being stringent enough. Moderate
men say: "Have patience; let the
Territory have a chance by its Leg
islature to enact needed laws. If you
don't the Mormons will have a real
grievance to lay before the liberal
minds of the country" I do not
wish to be quoted as giving any
opinion III the matter; l merely say
that the August election is an impor-
tant one. |

No Cause for a Whisky Panic.

New York, July GA represen-
tative of the exporting interest of the
United States, who handles most of
the whisky sent from America to
Europe, said to-day that he had seen
the full opinion of the Attorney-Gen-
eral in regard to the expectation of
whisky. He is prepared to say there
is no cause for alarm or a panic
among manufacturers, which would
have ensued had the decision actual
~ been sweeping, as might be in
ferred from the first enunciatiou.
The opinion is, in fact, if
whisky is exported in good faith, and
then returned to this country. it is
not liable to duty; and is only when
it is sent abroad with the intention
of returning it, and thus evading the
law that the tax is collectible.

Consolidating Trades Unions. 4

PITTsBURG, July 5.-The move
ment to reorganize the Knights OF
Labor, or establish IN it's place
federation of trades, each independ-
ent of the other, reported a short
time ago,seems to be gaining strength.
This afternoon Secretary Martin says
the Amalgamated Association (which
is the strongest trade union in the
country, would be in favor of a fed
eratoin of trades for five years. The
Iron Moulders' Union of North
America has also declared in favor
of the new movement. The Labor
Tribune which is the organ of iron
workers, glass workers, miners and
other trades, says in it's issue to-day
that the management OF strikes was
never intended by the organizers OF
the knights Of Labor; that It's ma
chinery had been found defective
in this respect. A call for a national
convention is likely to be made
shortly.
