WALLIS TRIP TO IRELAND.
Dub;in's Mayor Bound to Give Vent to
False Enthusiasm

Dub;in's Mayor Bound to Give Vent to
no False Enthusiasm.
DUBLIN, March 2.-Among the speak
ers at the Phoenix Park meeting yesterday
were Messrs. Mayne, Harrington and
OBrien, members of Parliament. Mr..
OBrlen said that he believed that the
Irish triumph in the House Of Commons
on the censure division had sounded the
death knell OF the disgraced Ministry of
coercion. He thought that they ought to
pass resolution of coincidence with the
Speaker OF the House of Commons rather
than censnre him. The speaker needed con-
ISOLATION more than be (O'Brien) did. and
the Irish party had a deep and sincere
respect for few of the English men,
bers of the House of Commons, especially
Mr.. Gladstone, who was prominent in
personal character, intellect, and in ten
derness toward Ireland. He hoped that
the Irish people would not show disre-
spact toward the Prince of Wales, but he
ought to be shown empty streets and
ruined lndfstries-the result of English
rule.
The Mayor, in returning thanks, said
that he would haul the flag from the
Mansion House as soon as the Prince of
wales landed at KiDgstOwn, and would
not spend a penny for decorations.
AT meeting OF the Municipal Council
to-day, presiding Councillor May gave
notice that at the next meeting of the
Council he would move that the mOnu-
ment to King George l., at present stand
ing In the Mansion House grounds of the
Lord Mayors residence, should be re-
moved to some lumber ward.

LONDON, March 2.-It is undoubted in
some circles that war with Russia hangs
by thread. The negotiations between
Russia and England respecting the R0sso-
Afghan frontier are said to have reached
very delicate stage. NJ. Lessar. the
Russian Commissioner, has urged such
sweeping demands that England cannot
accept anything approaching them, and a
complete collapse of the delimitation pro-
ject and an early advance of Russian
troops toward Herat are expected.
Lord Granville, the British Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, to-day sent a long and
very important dispatch bv telegraph to
Prince Giers, the Russian Foreign Minis
ter, regarding the occupation by Russian
troops OF points on the Afghan frontier
which are within the boundaries of At
ghanistan and which command the
passes leading to Herat and Cabul. The
dispatch is cOuched in language that is
very firm and vigorous and it is almost
equivalent to formal ultimatum from
Great Britain to Russia.
NO BACK DOWN.

is resolved to protect, at all hazards.

the hands of Russia, would menace the

SIR LUMSDEN'S COMMIsSIONERSHIP.
Sir Peter Lumsden, British member of
the Afghan Frontier Commission, recent
ly offered his resignation in disgust at the
delay of the Russian Government IN send
ing Gen. ZelenOy, the Russian member of
the commission, to cooperate with him
in the work OF delimitation. for which the
commission was organized. He was,
however, persuaded to withdraw his resig-
nation on being assured that he would be
supported by the government in opposing
Russian aggressiOns and in extending
British Influence among the Afghans.
AN ALLEGED AGREEMENT.
LONDON, March 3, 8 A. M.-Earl Gran
vile has succeeded in etfecting an agree
ment with the Russian Government on
the Afghan frontier question. The final
point in dispute-the right of the Afghans
to occupy Penideh- is referred. at the in
stance of Nj. De Giers, to the Auglo- Rus
sian Commission, which is to take the
matter into consideration in its report on

Curious Attempt to steal from a State
Treasury.
LINCOLN, NEB., Feb. 28.-An unsuc-
cessful attempt to rob the State Treasury
was made at l O'Clock this afternoon. One
rObber was mOrtally wounded and one
captured. Three hundred collars was
taken, but 1t was recovered. The wounded
rObber died at O'Clock. His name was
James Griffin, a noted criminal, who has
killed his man and been engaged in a
number of small thieving affairs. The
captured man is Alvin Mcclure, another
notorious thief, who has also scored his
man. 1t transpires that the third man.
who escaped, was in collusion with detec-
tives, and decOyed the other two into the
daring crime.
The following details are from the State
Journal extra: "About 2 O'Clock this
afternoon three men walked quietly into
the State Treasurer's office, drew re-
yolvers and said to Deputy Treasurer
Bartlett, who stood behind the railing.
Hold up your hands, the muzzles of the
pistols almost touching his head through
the railing. Bartlett answered: What
does this mean, men? Is it foOling or
business? but his hands went up all the
same. No talk answered the man who
acted as leader. Just hand out the
money, and be quick about it, Bartlett
passed out through the railing about $500.
saying in loud voice, Here it is; help
yourselves.' Two of the men then turned
to the door, the third backing out and re-
covering the retreat with a cooked reyol-
yer drawn on Bartlett. The loud
tone employed by Bartlett was a signal
to detectives Pound and Davis, who were
concealed in an adjoining room. Hearing
IL. they stepped into the hall just as two
OF the robbers passed out of the Treas
urer's public door. The detectives shout

Griffin fell on the porch steps with ten or

he could mount horse, which was tied
about forty feet from the door. At tte
moment the gun was fired in the ball the
third man, who IS unknown uriess to de.

OF passing through, and, turning, went
through door behind the railing, ran
across the room, jumped out of an omen

CABINET POSSIBILITIES.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-W. F. Villas
and his family, and William c. Whitney
are in town. Mr.. Villas is Mr.. Letters
guest at the Blaine mansion. Mr.. Whit
ney has taken a house on Connecticut
avenue. This is taken as an indication
that Mr.. Whitney will certainly go into

VICTORY OF THE GEORGIANs.
Messrs. Hammond and Blount, of
Georgia, deserve the thanks OF the eOun-
try for preventing the House to-day from
doing very foolish thing. Had il not
been for their efforts the House might
have refused to take any part in the in
auguration ceremonies. The House has
been shabbily treated by the Senate in
connection with these ceremonies, The
Senate has arrogated to itself exclusive
control of all the preparations. 1t has
ignored the House almost entirely,
When 1t came to the
distribution of tickets for seats N the
galleries of the Senate and on the plat
form for Wednesday the Senate Commit
tee OF Arrangements cOOlly gave each
Senator and SenatOr-elect five tickets.
while each Representative and Delegate
got but two and Representatives-elec
none at all. The House Is very sore as a
result OF this harsh treatment. So when
MIR. Mills, Of Texas, fiery and eloquent
individual, moved to-day the passage,
ander a suspension Of the rules,
of the resolution declaring that the
House, having been assigned to poor
seats, "another OF its grievances" ;" would
not attend the inaugural ceremonies at
all, the House was ready to rush it right
through on only motion for a second.
(which requires bare majority" The
vote was 13S yeas to but 8 nays. Then a
motion to suspend was put and carried
by an almost unanimous shout. If this
vote could have been made final the resO-
luton would have been passed, but Mr.
Hammond boldly asserted the right to de-
bate and made his point. The debate
killed the resolution. 1t had but 80 votes
TO 1S4 against it, after the discussion had
given the House something to think about
and time in which to think.
