What Earl COwper Says About
Home Rule i'm Ireland.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-Earl Cowper, who
was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland from
May 9th, 1880, until April 28th, 1882,
under Mr.. Gladstone's administration,
has written to the Times in regard to the
Irish question. Earl Cowper says ::
Home rule for its own sake is not desired
by the Irish. Any one can see by a
perusal of the Irish newspapers pub
lished during my own term of office in
Ireland that they do not reveal single
mention of the home rule scheme, but
are solely involved in discussing the
question of rents. The late MIR. Isaac
Butt, who may be called the originator of
the National and Home Rule movement
and Mr.. William Shaw, ex-member of
parliament for the City of Limerick, who
was member of the Home Rule League,
but withdrew from that body in Deem
Der, 1881, failed to attach the Irish people
to their schemes, and Mr.. Parnell will
meet with the same fate except in an
appeal to their pockets. The strike
against the payment of rent will soon be
a bigger difficulty for the government to
deal with than was ever the Home Rule
question, aud must eventually interfere
with imperial interests

From Every Evening Of yesterday.
The trustees of the poor held their
regular monthly session at the almshouse
this morning with all the members in at
tendance. At the opening Of the session
there was some animated discussion con-
corning the price phid for some dishes,
&C., but as the bill had been paid no
action could be taken, and the talk
pointed out q moral upon economy for
future application. Neither the bills of
X. J. Guthrie for the new carriage nor of
Harry Hickman for harness were formally
discussed, but they will come up
at the next meeting, which is a
quarterly. A few passing thrusts
were made at the newspaper repre-
sentatives present concerning publ.
cations touching upon the equipage, but
the sentiment of a majority of the board
was favorable to the publications To set
certain counter. statements at rest con-
corning the Hickman harness bill, u trus-
tee who had reviewed the account stated
that the SS45 item was for set of single
harness, and the double harness on the
same bill is charged at $50. The bill
has been paid by cash order, but the
order has not been approved and upon IFS
passage there may be some warm discus.

There was little actual business before
the board and it was dispatched before

ENGLAND AND EeYPr.
Rebels HOuted-'The Reported Ideas
OF the Minister of pnr.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
! CAIRo, Dec. 30.-A dispatch from
Koseh says Lieutenant General Stephen.
| son, commander of the British forces in
Egypt, who recently arrived here with
large achievements, attacked the rebels
who bad been menacing the garrison for
several weeks. A three hours fight en-
sued, resulting in the British capturing
Giniss, village near Koseh. The rebels
were completely routed. The cavalry is
pursuing the enemy. Two guns and 20
banners were captured. The English
wounded. The Egyptian allies of the
British lost six killed and Is wounded.
A recent report states that the Arabs at
Giniss and Abai numbered 1000, of whom
LOO were rifiemen. They had six guns
and plenty of ammunition. The guns
were placed in earthworks, and the line
of fire was direct on the Nile, 30 ls to OPP
pose the pass age of steamer.
Add I'll Kader Pasha, minister of war
and formerly governor of the Soudan in
recent conversation on the Egyptian
question said: "If the English retire on
Wady Halfa they must retire ON Assouan,
and if on Assouan then on Cairo. Every
pace in advance gives the English hum
dred friends; every pace in retiring gives
them two hundred enemies half in fropt
half in the rear. England may gain VIC
tory after victory, but ii they are followed
by retreat the English government has
wasted blood. There is not one
IN ten who will not believe in England's
iefeat. say that retirement now
would be fatal"
When asked whether the question was
nsoluble he replied 'No; it requires
wo things-first, fixed policy to crush
ebellion secondly, money. Let England
tack the enemy in force, and after the
ltter's defeat, open negotiations with
alive emissaries and money. England
ould detach the soldiers who arc now
ne backbone Of the rebellion and also
'me tribes who are always Jealous of
lch other" When asked what sum
ould be required, the minister said
Perhaps $4,000, 1000, but this policy
ould be thecheapest in the long run"

A Policeman Possibly a murderer.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-on the recommendation
of coroner's jury Richard Cullen, police
officer, has been suspended from duty and
placed in jail to await the action OF the
grand jury in regard to the death Of
Herman Horenberg. Horenberg was ar
rested last Friday night, and ON Saturday
morning he was found in his cell uncon-
seious. He was removed to the
county hospital where he died on
Monday. The inquest developed the
fact that at the time of the arrest Cullen
had struck Horenberg severe blow knock
ing him down and it is supposed, fraeturing
his skull. Cullen claims that the man was
drunk and that he did not strike him, but
several witnesses testified that the deceased
was sober and peaceable, and one man
named Dieterick who was with Horenberg
at the time OF the latters arrest says that
the officer knocked him Oieterick) down
and kicked him because he protested
against the arrest OF his friend.

An SD 700 Cattle Suit.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special wtrcs
OMAHA, NEB., Dec. 30.-The case of
Plummer Jewett Snyder and other west
ern Nebraska cattle men against the Ran
kin Cattle Company has been occupying
the attention of the United States courts
for several days. The amount involved
is $125,00 Two years ago the Rankin
Cattle Co. brought several thousand head
Of cattle into Nebraska from Texas.
Many of them were sold to cattle COM
panies near Brady Island and turned out
to feed upon the range in June where the
native cattle herded. In July the cattle
on that range began to die in large num-
bers. During the months of July and
August the deaths numbered from four
to 40 day. The disease was q
peculiar one and for long time
batfied the veterinarians. Finally it was
decided to be Texas fever. TWAS claimed
the disease was brought by the cattle i'm
ported from Texasw which the native cattle
caught. The defence denied the disease
was Texas fever, even if the nature of the
disease was such as not to be recognized
and imported unknowingly.
