Texas. and presented his warrant. Gov
erncr Ireland at thi, iuncture relieved
Colonel Tracy by saving that he would
always chCcrfully submit 10 process legal

REQUIRED but he considered that the mar
shaI OF the Eastern district OF Texas has
no authority TO serve = process here, out

shadow OF fact upon which to base
the ease. This berg so, willie he
made no resistance 10 the writ
snd would answer a. any citizen should,

snOn>lb,c for their conduct. Tracy referred
tLs Governor to the United States statutes
on the subject, which the Governor de-
clsrrd be had already examined, and he 50
explained their tenor that Tracy, without
making the arrest left the Executive office
10 consult United States District Attorney
Eyans, t9kirg the warrant with him.
In couple CT hours Tracy returned
and informed the Governor he would not
execute She writ, stating that he had con-
suited with Judge Evans. who verbally
condemned the proceeding in strong lin-
gllage. In answer to q written question
Iesring on The case submitted 10 Evans
by Tracy. tbc former furnished Tracy a
written opinion declaring that Tracy As

district Of Texas had no authority to
arrest q citizen resident and found in the
Western district under writ issued BY

EN- district except in special cases. Judge
Evans declares that the charge Of violation

nshed ABOUT the great benevolent organizi-
uon having branches In every norton OF
The country. and known as The Ancient
ofotr OF hibernians, was, Il now appears.
iounu9d on misrepresentation. The op-
position 70 the national orranz ttion
elected 81 the regular biennial convention
NJ 'ie'einnu proves TO be so insignificant
as 10 ne Oh no account, and II IL confined
almost exclusively 10 some branches In this
city. They say il has been claimed by
These New Workers for many wears that all
the national officers should be residents OF
this city, with their Offices Of administra-
ton here. But the membership OF New
YORK state and OF the entire country has
not acknowledged this claim. and the
convenience OF the entire organic zion has
been promoted by locating the offices
ana elecling the national officers
according 20 the will OF majority
without the narrow limitations OF the To-
cality. New York city men, IN order TO en-
force their pretension, held what they de-
scrlbed as q national convention for the puf-
pose OF disciplIning the entire membership.
OF which they constitute the TOoley street
proportion. The pretended national con-
vcntiOn, IL transpirCs. was held in dingy
hitle room connected with a saloon. With
farcial solemnity the convention expelled
the officers elected at the regular national
convention in Cleveland, including the
national delegate. Hon. Henry +. Sher-
idan. OF Chicago, with the national
secretary and treasurer. The Brooklyn
County Board OF the order has held the
largest meeting since ITS organization,
tbirty-ninc divisions being represented.
and repudIated the action Of the New
York clique. endorsing sheridan and his
brother officials. Eightccn divisions OF
New York county have also had a meet
ing and adopted similar resolutions. The
State officers Of New York, Massachusetts,
Georgia, Missouri, Iowa. Michigan. ILL.,
noiS, Wisconsin, and other States repu-
diate The New York clique and stand by
the regular action OF the order.
