WASHINGTON, June 5.-Representatyes
Cobb OF Indiana, Dunn OF Arkansas, and
Rosecrans of California, have, through
their attorney, Z. n. Hill, OF this city, sent
a communication to Secretary Teller asking
him not to allow the filing or record in the
Interior Department Of any mortgage made
bv the New Orleans Pacific Railroad Com
pany upon lands originally granted to the
New Orleans, Baton Rouge and VickS-
burg Railroad Company, and by the
latter transferred to the corporation first
named. The memoralists assert that such
mortgage has been executed, and Is to be
used as a basis for Immigrant bonds: that
the contemplated transaction is in violation
OF law: and that there is grave doubt "a to
the right OF the New Orleans Pacific Com
panv to avail itself OF this land grant in any
way whatever.
Messrs. Cobb, Dunn, and Rosecrans have
also filed with Secretary Teller a protest
against any action on his part which would
result in the issuance Of certificates to the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company for
lands originally granted to the Texas Pa
cilic Company. They assert that these
lands were declared forfeited by the Jul
dietary Committee OF the House OF Repre-
sentatyeS in the Forty-seventh Congress :;
that the bill for the consolidation OF the
Southern Pacific and the Texas Pacific
roads, by which the former hoped to ac-
ouire the shadow Of title to lands, was
twice defeated in the House, and the South
ern Pacific Company could not by assign
ment from the Texas Pacific Company ac-
quire any valid title to the latter's land
grant

paraphernaia. The blaze caught from one
OF the lamps, and the canvas was consumed
like flash. There was no loss OF life.
The animals. fortunately. were In a sepa-
rate tent inside the Basel Ball Park. and not
injured. Had they have been in the main
tent there would probably have been a con-
siderable number OF wild beasts around the
streets.
When the alarm OF fire was turned in the
department responded quickly, but before
any engines were brought into action the
destruction OF the main tent was complete.
Several streams were played on the blaze,
and the firemen succeeded In preventing
the spread OF the fire to the adjoining can
vas, under which were the cages OF the wild
beasts. The flames ran up the canvas to the
centre-poles in twinkling, and gorgeous
scene was presented on the lake front for
few moments, Michigan avenue for blocks
being as light as day, while the shipping
lying In the harbor was clearly outlined.

The canvas and guy-ropes being destroyed,
the centre-poles were preciptated TO the
ground, crushing the priyate-boXes and
carrying the fire in among the reserved
seats, causing their complete destruction.
The night-watchman in charge OF the sta
ble-tents was apprised in time to enable the
hostlers to lead out all of the horses quiet
ly. The wild animals had all been locked
up for the night, and. as they could not
see the flames, were in no sense panic
stricken, although the smell OF the smoke
appeared to excite scme Of them. The
actual loss to the property is estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000, with no Insurance;
but the interruption Of the performances
will necessarily increase the loss very con-
siderably TO the showmen. The canvas
destroyed covered six acres OF ground, and
it is claimed to have been the largest single
one in the world. The management have
Il duplicate on hand, and in the event OF
the costumes not being entirely destroyed

the curious crowd attracted by the noise
made in beating in the doors Of the Jail.
The taller refused to surrender the keys,
and axes were brought. Whitney knew the
purpose OF the assault, and crouched upon
the floor Of his cell praying fervently, his
voice being audible outside. The ialler
was compelled TO lead the way TO Whit
ney's cell. which was quickly forced open.
long rope brought by the mob was put
round his waist. Half fainting. the doomed
man fell on his knees when once in the
open air, and asked leave to pray again.
This was granted. but as he continued too
long he was jerked TO his feet and dragged

ticed i'm our telegraphic columns Yesterday

ment at Ottowa received warning that it
was the intention OF the Fenian faction to
send party Of their followers into Canada

one of the Phoenix Park murderers. TO
blow up certain parts OF the Weland
canal with dynamite. The Govern
ment Immediately warned their repre-

Saturday, May 18th. large number
OF men, known to be loyal subjects, were
stationed at short intervals along both the
old and new canals to watch the move
ments OF any suspected characters. The
day before Brady'S execution fifteen sus-
piciOus-loOking men, each carrying a me-
diminished satchel. jumped from a train at
st. GATHERINGS, having Just come over the
bridge from Buffalo. They were Swallowed
by private detectives, who overheard
enough Of their talk TO be convinced that
they were the party that should be watch
ed. The strangers walked about apparent
w unconcerned. but making secret ar
rangements to carry out their object.
Some OF their number were sent along the
canal to select a suitable spot TO destroy
the connection between the upper and
lower lakes. They had not got far before
they found that their plot had reached the
ears Of Government officials, and that their
game was up. They saw large numbers Of
men stationed along the canal in sentry
boxes. The delegation then returned to
st. GATHERINGS, where the party dispersed
and returned as quickly as possible to the
States. Watc!men still guard the locks
day and night. A Government official to-
dav said he was satisfied precautions were
not taken an hour too soon. A gang came
over from Buffalo Sunday, but, finding the
canal guarded, returned to that city.
