O'Donoysu Rosa Shot,

The Irish dynamite chief O'Donovan Rosa,
was shot and seriously wounded in New York
city, BY an English woman named Dudley, at
5:15 on the afternoon of the I'd inst. The
shooting occurred on Chambers street, near
Broadway, at a time when the thoroughfare
was crowded with people making their way
towards the Brooklyn bridge. The first shot
fred took effect in ODonovan's body, and he
fell to the sidewalk. The woman continued
to shoot uHtil she emptied her fve-chamber
revolver. Only the first shot took effect City
Marshal James McAuley was present at the
time, and breaking through the crowd that
had collected, even before the shooting was
over he seized the woman, who still held the
smoking pistol in one hand, and told her she
was under arrest. The woman offered no re-
sistance, but allowed herself to be pulled
through the mass of citizens and taken to the
City Hall station house.
When the woman had ceased firing ODono-
van arose to his feet and made n effort to find
his way back to his Office on Chambers street,
which he had just left; but finally, with the
assistance of two bystanders, turned and walked
to the Chambers Street Hospital, distance of
about quarter of mile. An examination by
the Hospital Surgeon showed that the bullet
had entered the back directly below the left
shoulder blade, and inflicted a wound of not a
very dangerous nature. Meanwhile the woman
had been taken to the station house, with
another crowd following her. She was good
looking woman, dressed neatly in plain, dark
clothing, and wore eyeglasses. She appeared
to be woman of refinement and education.
The dynamiters assert that the woman is an
agent of the British Government sent over ex-
pressly for the assassination of Rosa, and that
opinion is also entertained by the Rosa himself.
At last accounts the wounded man was rest
ing comfortably, and there is little doubt of
his ultimate recovery.

OKLAHOMA.
How the Boomers Surrendered.

Last week the Oklah oma settlers surrendered
to Gen. Hatch. The night previous to the
surrender the General moved some of his forces
SO as to partially invest the camp of the Boom
ers. This was done quietly and without hos
tile demonstrations. The next morning line
of bluecOats was observed by the settlers in
close proximity, and about 8 o'clock formal
and peremptOry demand was made upon Capt.
Couch and party to surrender. Every one of
Gen. Hatch's soldiers was at his post fully
armed, ready for any command that might be
given. The Boomers, taking in the surround
ings at a glance, saw that discretion was the
better part of valor, and quietly yielded to the
| inevitable.
| Capt. Couch then informed Gen. Hatch that
| he would move out and across the Kansas line.
! After few days of preparation they started,
and arrived within six miles of Arkansas City
on Jan. 20, having only one days provisions
| left.
The feeling is very bitter among the Boom
| ers. They had commenced to lay out a town
site, had built log cabins, dugouts and seed
| houses, and in short time wond have had
| city organized and in thorough working order.
| All their work has been for naught, and be-
sides that they have nothing to show for all
the money they have spent. Most of them are
poor people and are now absolutely destitute
| Their determination is still to gain possession
OF the land under any circumstances, and as
soon as they can recruit and lay in another
stock of provisions they intend to return, and
with much larger colony. Among all classes
it is now asserted that the only way that they
can be kept out is to make a military reserva-
ton out of the country and give the Army full
| control.
The reception rendered the Boomers by the
people of Arkansas City and vicinity was
most enthusiastic. A few came into the town
on the evening Of the Goth, but the greater
part of them remained in camp, few miles
out, and the next day marched in body to
the outskirts OF the place, when they Were met
by the citizens, headed by a brass baud, and
escorted to the place as heroes returning from
a successful campaign. The crowd collected
from several miles around and cheered the lit
! tie band, rough and worn by marching and
diving out of doors. As they passed down the
streets ladies waved their handkerchief and
all was rejoicing. The people seemed TO think
that Couch and his followers are martyrs as
much as John Brown was in an earlier day in
Kansas, although he was not able to hold his
own against the United States troops. The
attention of the whole country has been at
tracted by the question, and they think that
Congress will be compelled to give them the
| lands, as has been the case in so many contests
over Indian lands throughout the West.

G. r.. INSURANCE.
Comrades Views in Regard to the Matter.

To THE EDITOR: I think the GAR. insur-
ance scheme very impracticable. 1t is much
like the problem of perpetual motion: there
is always a point that cannot be overcome.
The point to overcome in this case is how to
get 81 900 out of the scheme without putting
that amount in. J. w. Bates in your issue of
Jan. 8, gives the experience of insurance COM
panies, giving the number of persons in 1000
who died yearly at periods of five years from
the age of SO to 20 years. From those figures
! conclude that 900 out of the 1000 die before
they reach the age of 20 years. If this is the
case, what percentage of GAR. men will be
alive at that age?
He also says that it costs no more for 100
men to form mutual insurance company on
the assessment plan than if the company con-
sisted of 1000. In this he is quite right
and now / want to form q company of 20
men to illustrate the case. We will suppose

Early on the morning of the 1st inst. Lizzie
Kaufman, while dancing at ball at Workmen's
Hall, Cincinnati, sank to the floor and died in a
few minutes. Miss Kaufman was cookbook
ing, lively young girl, much liked by those who
knew her. and fond of society. She had danced
from early in the evening until 2 in the morn
ing, when she said to the young man with whom
she was dancing, AZ feel faint" The young
man conducted her toward chair. On the
way she fell fainting on the floor and never
spoke again. No physician was called. The
police signalcd the patrol wagon. When it
arrived, the girl lay on the floor surrounded by
a half dozen girls, who were rubbing her hands
and feet, but they were cold. Her body was
taken to the undertaker's, unaccompanied by
any one except the police. The young man
with whom she was dancing when death
claimed her as his partner found living part
ner and joined the dance, which went on with
out further interruption till daylight.

tend to strengthen the tis that binds" and
be an extra inducemeutto worthy soldiers still
outside to come in. The Pos. plan of Comrade
Bates might do with large aud wealthy Posts,
but with the small and weak would be i'm
practicable Whether this feature should be
National or Departmental or whether it is
practical at all or not is Of course aquestion but
one which we believe worthy of consideration
and discussion, and we should like to see more
communications on thissubject, rs well as THE
TRIBUNE's own views.-H. NJ. PARKER, Bliss
field, Mich.
ANOTHER PLAN.
To THE EDITOR: Now that GAR. insurance
is being discussed, perhaps from multitude Of
counsel we may be able to formulate plan
that will meet our peculiar case. Unlike any
other organization, we have no young blood to
draw upon to fill the places of those who re-
ceive their final mnster-Out. Therefore, IT we
have any insurance, fund must be created to
draw upon as our numbers grow less. A COM
rade from Pennsylvania, writing on this SUBJ
ject not long since, said that in the Department
of Pennsylvania an assessment of five cents
upon each member would amount to S1,75O.
My plan is to divide the GAR. into Insurance
Departments so that an insurance OF five cents
upon each member would amount to $4,000.
Then, when death occurs, assess each member
% cents So 00O Or fifth of the assessment to
go to the heirs of the deceased comrade the other
four ffths less cost of collection, to go into an
insurance fund to be invested i'll U. S. bonds.
OF course, as year by year our numbers grow
less, larger proportion of the assessment will
be required to raise the s., 900; and finally, the
25 cents will not raise that amount. Then let
the insurance fund be drawn upon. If among
the readers of THE TRIBUNE there are any life
insurance experts, let's hear from them.-H. Il.

rs OPPOSED TO THE WHOLE B

To THE EDITOR: / am very sorry to see the
letters that appear, week after week, advocat-
ing that our grand society be turned into an
insurance company. /, for one, am opposed to
the plan all the way from a" to H." My rea-
sons are: l. It will in the end be sure to bring
financial failure. 9. 1t will tend to turn our
pleasant Post meetings into business meetings.
g. 1t will introduce an element of suspicion
and distrust among comrades. 4. Plenty of
benevolent orders are open to those who de-
sire insurance, and if any comrade can't find
what he wants in that line among them he
can possibly, by close search, find some insur-
ance agent to accommodate him. But guess
/ will not add the rest of the hundred good rea-
sons why it should not be done.-W. L. GIL

THINKS THE SUBJECT SHOULD RECEIVE MORE
ATTENTION.

To THE EDITOR: ! have been very much in
plan of mutual insurance in connection with
the GAR, and wonder why SO little attention
is paid to it by the comrades. As the matter of
life insurance in some form has come to be con-
sidered, if not a necessity, at least something
which no well regulated family could afford to
. be without, and as every comrade knows, hardly
one in 10 of the old boys could pass the required
medical examination which would enable them
to become members of any good, reliable COM
pany, it seems all the more important that this
matter should receive the attention ofOur Order
If we are correctly Informed, the old organiza-
tion of the GAR. had an attachment of this
naturc,-a small assessment of five or 10 cents
on the death of member. OF course, unless
there was an accumulating fund, the sooner
one died the more he would get $50 to speak,
and the family or heirs Of those who survived
longest would get the least. Whether this fea-
ture can be engrafted upon the GAR. or not
we believe it worthy of consideration and of
all the plans so far offered we like best that of
Comrade Ames in last weeks TRIBUNE. Com
rade Eddy does not want any of it, for the rea-
SON that, as he secs it, it would be an induce
ment to all the " soreheads and mugwumps"
to join the Order from mercenary motives We
think the unworthy could be kept out then as
well as now, and we do not think the assurance
member would have that in the event of his
death his family would receive from the G. A. r.
the sum of one or two thousand dollars would
hurt the "fraternal feeling or true comrade-
ship" in the least. We believe it would rather

1t is announced that Gen. Arthur, who will
then be Citizen Arthur, will leave for New
York city at 2 O'Clock the afternoon Of March
4. He will not, therefore, attend the inaug-
uratiOn ball. The funeral baked meats Of

Itis hinted also thai the famous dinner which
Arthur was to give to the president
elect, to which Blaine was 10 be in
yited. IS 10 he omitted. If
Arthur leaves at 2 O'Clock the managers Of
the ceremony will not need to cause delay
on accoun. of his august departure.
It is the traditional etiquette of the gov
ernment that the outgoing president shall
ride to the capitol in the same carriage with
the president elect.
Nor is it clear that the much heralded re-
ceptiUu by the people to President Arthur IS
10 be given. The tinseled. tufted and gided
snobs have had endless receptions. The
various c,asses which continue the so-called
Washington society haze been admitted to
the White hoase and entertained with lavish
hand, but to this moment, since Gen. Gar

heen no time fixed, save one scanty
hour, on New Years day. Of eacL
year when the people Of the United States
who are simply citizens, and who wear no
roset in their buttonhole or stripes upon their
trousers, have had an evening reception.
The president in this respect has defed all
the recent traditions of his Office and the
people Of Washington, at least, understand
this. If the president should give recep-
ton to the people, now It would be attended
only by strangers VINO might chance to be in
