The Battle of the BOyne.

At Waterford, Ireland, during the ami
rersary OF the battle OF the Boyne on the
18th. among the large number of drunken
men on the streets were many OF he soldiers
belonging to the Welsh regiment doing gar
rison duty here. Citizens got into a row with
the soldiers during which the latter bayo-
neted to death one OF the former. The citi
zens then fell upon the soldiers with such
force that the latter were forced
to beat hasty retreat to their
barracks. The mob followed them up,
but being threatened with powder
and ball ii they attempted to force an en-
trance o the barracks, they eontented them
selves with smashing the windows OF the
barracks with stones. The rage ofthe pop
ulace WAS 80 great this morning that it was
deemed best I O transfer the Welsh regiment
to some other place. This was done imme-
diatelv, and as the soldiers marched from
the barracks to the railroad station SUP
rounded by policemen mob followed them,
hooting and stOning the soldiers.
The name OF the civilian killed was Peter
Grant. During the hottest part OF the con-
dict a soldier attacked Grant and plunged y
bayonet straight through the mans heart,
Grant fell dead on the spot.

containing with its suburbs a popula-

with June ), attacked 3,215 persons,
OF whom 1850 have already been
buried. In this short time one person
in thirty of the city's inhabitants has
had the cholera, and one in tweny five

The Silver Question Coming to II Head.

Inc SILVER NueStiOn coming 10 Iheou'
United States Treasurer Jordan had d
conference a few days ago with the Presl-
dents OF the National Banks OF New York.
Following are the resolutions adopted by
the bank presidents after the conference.
Whereas, after careful inquiries into the
current operations OF the United States
treasury, it is ascertained that with the
continued purchase Of 50 900, 900 in silver
Il month, the probable receipts OF gold cur
rency will be insufficient to meet the de-
mands upon it until the meeting of congress
in December next, but that the secretary
will be compelled to make his payments in
silver dollars, which will become a most
disturbing element in the daily business OF
the country; therefore
Resolved, That to avert this threatened
danger, and in the confident belief that con-
,ress will take early steps to prevent the
deterioration OF the present commercial
standard Of values, the banks here, by
tender to the government, from their gold
reserve fund the sum of $40, 600, 900, III eN-
change for that amount in fractional silver
.oin, or for such other currency as the clear
ing house may approve, the same to be APP
portioned among the banks in the clearing
house respectively, pro rata OF their deposits
and gold reserved.
Resolved, That should this amount
prove insufficient, II further sum not to ex-
ceed SO. 000, 600 he offered, and that the
banks OF Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and
other cities be invited by the clearing house
committee to participate in carrying out the
objects OF these resolutions.

Lake MinnetOnka Gives Up its Dead

The search for the bodies OF the ill-iated
steamer Minnie Cook was resumed Monday
morning where it had been abandoned the
night before, with more willing hands and
diversified methods at command.
Daylight had no sooner dawned than the
region where the boat was supposed to have
gone down was covered with row boats,
from the tillers OF which were hung graphing
hooks, common fish lines with extra large
hooks and all manner OF devices with which
it was hoped to secure hold on the bodies
About II hundred yards to the north oi
Spirit island a hook took firm hold in the
clothing of what proved to be the remains

was recovered in the same way, not far re.
moved from where the badly OF Mary Rand
was found. Both parties were lying face
downward, and Mr. Rand when found was

ing in the back OF his vest. His watch,
like that OF Mrs. Rand, whose body
was recovered on the previous evening indi-
Gated that the boat had sunk at about
half-past four o'clock. In the afternoon
the body OF Frank Rand was recovered. A
little after o'clock Mat Dennee and w. H.
Deyo found the body OF Mr.. Coykendan a
short distance west OF where the wreck lay.
The deceased was dressed in a white flannel
boating suit, and had put over him an over
coat. The clothing bore evidence that the
body had been partially buried in the mud.
Half an hour later William Wambolt and
George f. Watson caught on their graphing
hook the body OF Robert Hussay, the friend
of Frank Rand who accompanied the pleas
ure party Both these bodies were found
i'm close proximity, and their discovery
stimula ted the search for the remaining
victims, Mrs. Coykendall land Harvey Rand.
After successive trailings over the course,
William Deane and William Deyo brought
to the surface all that was mortal OF these
last mentioned victims.
1t was little after 7:3O O'Clock when the
deep gave up the last OF it's dead, and the
remains were carried in the light boats to
the impruvised morgue, there to be prepared
for the burial baskets. The day sunk away
as the task was completed, and it was no
sooner completed than the water, all day
dotted with the various fiotilla of the lake,
was deserted. The bodies were all taken to
Minneapolis for burial.

Millions of Acres Opened to Settlers.

The United States Land Commissioner
Sparks has addressed letter to the regis
ter and receiver of the land office at Walla,
Walla, Wash. which is, in effect, Il decision
withdrawing indemnity limits along
nearly every land grant railroad in the
United States. 1t affects not less than 3d.
600, 900 acres, as estimated by the land Of
flee authorities. OF these, l 2 600, 600 acres
belong to the Northern Pacific in whose linn
its the test case arose. like amount
Is affected along the Atlantic u Pacific, g.,
600, 600 along the Southern Pacific and q
900, 900 along the Texas Pacific. Every
land grant In Minnesota and Dakota is al
fected by the decision. The railroads have
had some income and not a little advan-
tage by the maintenance OF in
demnity limits reserving from public
settlement large bodies OF land lying
parallel to their grants. The effect was
to compress settlement within the granted
lands, and to enhance their value. At the
same time the Dads have been in the habit
of selling their waiver to the indemnity
lands whenever a settler wants to settle on
them bad enough to do SO. Besides these,
still other advantages were possible in de-
ferring the section of 'lien" lands, as they
are called. In some cases rich lands have
been held out OF market for twenty-five
years under the claims of railroads. Obvi-
ously they had increased great deal in
value. The decision made, will compel the
railroads to select their lien lands promptly,
and not allow them to wait and reject poor
grades OF land in their grants and select in
lieu OF it the best in the indemnity grants.
1t is not unlikely that this action on the
part of the general land office will greatly
stimulate immigration another year.
