THE BoyNE WATER.
The Anniversary of the Battle Results in
Trouble.

WATERFORD, Ireland, July 13.-The am
niversary of the battle Of Boyne, yesterday,
caused large increase in the usual Sunday
number of drunken men on the streets last
night. Among them were many OF the sol
diers belonging to the Welsh regiment doing
garrison duty here. A number OF Citizens
got into q drunken row with the soldiers,
during which the latter bayoneted to death
one of the former. The connection attrac-
ted crowds of men to the scene. When the
civilians realized that one Of their number
had been killed they became furious and
fell upon the soldiers with such force that
the latter were compelled 10 retreat to their
barracks. The mob followed them up, but
being threatened with powder and ball II
they attempted to force an entrance into the
barracks, contented themselves with smash
ing the windows of the barracks with stones
The rage Of the populace was so great thi:
morning that 1t was deemed best to transfer
the Welsh regiment to some other place
This was done Immediately. As the sol
diers marched from the barracks to the rail
road station, surrounded by police, the mol
followed them, hooting and stoning the sol
dlers. Several Parnellite members of Par
Lament have telegraphsd that they will
| bring the matter before the Government AM
demand an immediate inquiry into the out
rage. 1t is generally believed the soldier
| began the row.

BROADER GENERAL JOHN a. GIBBoN
A Gallant Soldier Gets His Star at Last.
Pioneer Press.

Pioneer. Press.
The President has appointed Col. Jonn
Gbbon, of the Seventh United States In
fantry, to the vacancy in the list of Brigadier
Generals created by the retirement of Briga-
der General g. G. Augur, on the 10Th inst.
General Augnr.wss commanding the depart
of the Missouri, with headquarters at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, and his command Is
given to General Nelson A. Miles, who Is
transferred from the Department of the
Columbia. The promotion of Colonel Glib
bon Is an emnently fl; one, both on the
ground of seniority, for he stands at the
head of the list of Colonies of infantry, and
on the score of his distinguished service dur
ing the war. Entering the army as cadet
at West Point in September, 1912, Colone
Gibbon was made Second Lieutenant by
brevet In the Third Artillery in July, 1S4T.
In September Of the same year be was made
Second Lieutenant in the Fourth ARTILLERY
and three years afterward was promoted to
be First Lieutenant. At the outbreak of the
war he was Captain, and his qualities as q
fighter were so well known that he speedily
rose to high command in the volunteer forces.
In May, 1862 he was created Brigadier- Cen
eral Of volunteers, and shortly afterward
assumed command of the famous "Iron
Brigade" of Wisconsin, whose soldiers were
proud TO claim him as their commander. In
June, 1864, he became Major General and
was given command of division in the
Army of the Potomac. The many brevets
received by him for gallantry and meritori-
Gus services In the field, are an epitome of
his career during the rebellion, and will at
test the character of his record. He was
brevetted Major in the regular army in
September, 1862, for gallantry at Antietam,
and In December following was created bre.
vet Lieutenant Colonel for gallantry at
Frederick sburg, Va. For his services at the
battle of Gettysburg, July 4, 1868, he was
given brevet Colonel; at Spottsylvania he
won bis brevet of Brigadier General, and the
brevet of Major General was bestowed In
March, 1866, for galantry before Peters
burg. At the close of The war General Glib.
bon was made Colonel of the Thirty-sixth
infantry, and npon the reorganization of the
army in 1860 he was transferred to the Sew
enth. This appointment will result in the
promotion of Lieutenant Colonel Henry &.
Merriam, of the Second infantry, to be Col
oneI or the seventh; MAJOR Josnua ..
Fletcher, Jr., Twenty, third Infantry, to be
Lieutenant Colonel Of the Second; Captain
Samuel Overshine, Fifth Infantry, to be
Major of the Twenty third. First Lieuten-
ant Henry Romeyn, Fifth Infantry, will be-
come Captain of Company G, and Second
Lieutenant J. NJ. I. Particle will become
First Lieutenant of Co. A, Fifth Infantry.

Pacific Railway Earnings.

BosRoN, July 1.-THE gross earnings of
the Union Pacific Railroad for June were
$2,O6s, 900; the surplus earnings, $685., 900, a
decrease in the surplus earnings of 1927 900
as compared with 1884. For five months
there was an increase in the gross earnings
of $4,000.
ST. PAUL, July 1.-THE gross earnings of
the Northern Pacific Railroad for the month
of June were 81 oil 1928, against $1,143, 900
for the same month in 1884, decrease of
$l31,377. The net earnings are not yet ex-
actly computed, but will be much larger in
proportion to the gross than In June year
ago. The statement of earnings, although
showing decrease, is particularly gratifying
to friends Of the road, Ms it bears out Gen.
eral Manager Cakes estimate for the year
thus far, which was greeted, at the time it
was made, by full chorus of incredulous
croakers. The Northern Pacific, like good
many other railway enterprises, had to 60
through its little sweat, but also, like any
undertaking which has valid reason for
existence, is coming out of that sweat In
good shane.

A Hard Blow at the Prince,

NEW YORK, July 11.-Since the remarka.
BILE change in the English sentiment over
the Pail Mall Gazette disclosures, the lead
ing American. journals throw aside their re-
serve and are more freely commenting upon
the subject. The Sun says: "Unless the
omens of history are worthless, we are pos
sibly witnessing the dawn Of the English
analogue to the French revolution. The
privileges vested In the House of Peers will
be endured no longer If such be the shame
full end to which they are perverted. Ger

Wales will never be permitted to reign over
the hearts and homes Of England"

tess Romerae, from cholera, is the first case
in Madrid among the people of means and
possessions, and living in a good neighbor-
hood. The Countess had returned days
previously from Barcelona, which is less
badly infected than Madrid. Her death
therefore was startling because the infection
may have originated in Madrid. Her apart
ment was in one of the best buildings in a
fashionable street. Her husband and three
others will be rigidly quarantined in these
rooms for days. The Countess death was
in all hour from returning from the theatre,

o'clock this afternoon heavy wind and rain
storm passed over Lake Minnetonka. The
small steam yacht, "Minnie Cook" with
eight persons on board, was capsized, and
the entire party drowned. The news of the

all the victims resided here. The unfortu-
nate party was composed of Ex-Mayor Rand,
wife and two sons, Harvey aud Frank, ]. r.
Coykendall and wife, their son-in-law,

rife. The waves rolled high, spray, rain
and hail filling the air. The large steamers

test reports show that ten persons were
aboard, and all persisted. One of the VIC
Tins was a boy of II years. A passenger
just in from White Bear Lake says that a
sail boa. was also capsized, aud two more
lives were lost. The last news is not con.
firmed, but the storm there was very severe.
