speech at Warrington, yesterday, gave
the full radical platform. He said that
the radicals now formed great major
lily OF the liberal party aud they would
oppose MIR. Parnell tooth and nail. This
declaration was received with prolonged
cheering. He said the granting OF home
rule to Ireland would mean the destruc-
ton of the British empire. He had pre-
pared a moderate scheme OF domestic
government for ireland which had met
with the approval OF the
National League and if the
| liberals did not like the radical plat
| form they must sever their connection
with the radicals. The platform of the
radicals besides giving the local govern
ment and land plants, advocated free
schools, revision of taxation aud game
laws and mineral royalties, and declares
that If an appropriation of lands Is Beces-
sary for public good. the rights OF prop
ertY must go to the wall. Chamberlin
secuted the idea and Lord Harrington
would not accept Lord Randolph
Churchill's invitation TO join the con.
6ervative party. Liberalism he said
was broad enough to settle its own diff

First Cyclone of the Season.

The Kansas City Journals Kirwin, Kan
sas, special says: A cyclone passed
through Rook county on the 18TH about I
o'clock D. ,n., starting near the line between
Osborne and Rook counties, at the south
east corner of Medicine township, and
took westerly course dealing death and
destruction throughout the pathway OF its
entire course. Nearly fifty persons were
injured, among those fatally are the Rev.
Mr.. Grimes, wife and child, killed; a child
name unknown. fatally injured; George
Campbell, missing, supposed to have been
killed; 5. J. Johnson, badly injured by fall
ing timbers in the stable where he had
taken refuge. The loss at Bull City and
Stockton consists Of chimneys blown down
and window glass broken by hail-stones
meas uring four inches in diameter. The
damage in Rook county will probably
reach $4,000.

UNCLE SAM STARTLED
At the Defenccless Condition of the Sea-
Ports of the Country.

Lieut.. Gritlin's expose ofthe helplessness
of the Atlantic and Pacific sca.coast defen-
ces against iron-clads and Ioo-ton guns, de-
livered before the military service institute
at Governors Island, New York, attracts
much attention, both from the standing Of
Griffin in the engineer corps and the accu-
racy and thoroughness of his dcmonstra-
ton. The conclusions which the speaker
drew were that in days when the victor
compels the vanquishcd to pay the cost of
war, with millions of visible property in
the sea-ports of Portland, Boston, New
York, Newport, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
New Orleans aud San Francisco, with even
in that port alone, eight buildings worth
| together twelve millions, within yun-shot
Of Concv Island which could be ruined by
| eight wcll-directcd shots, to say nothing Of
the inca!c.ilable damage which would be
caused by the fire cnsendcrcd by the shells,
and which no fire department could con-
troll: with British and Spanish naval sta
tions at Halifax, Bermuda, Havana and
Vancouver, from 81 to S. hours steam
from these ports, we are utterly helpless in
case of war. For dcfenscs in New York
harbor $I7, 100000 are wanted. New York
City pays ST. 100000 fora fire Department.
say nothing of the cost o! insurance: yet Il
war would inflict more damage in one day
than is caused by fire in century, and as a
price to escape bombardmcnt 500, 100000
would be a small sum for an enemy to de-
mand. Griffin says nothing but ignorance
can excuse reliance ON torpedoes as the
main defense. AS 10 earthworks, only Il
seventy foot parapct could stand against
modern guns. krupp or Armstrong could
not make guns to defend New York alone
in less than three years. The work of
| mounting these guns, once here, would
take months, perhaps years. Altogether
Gritlin's exhibit is startling, showing that
the United States is not only at the mercy
of power like Chilli, but unable to put her
principal sea-ports in state of defense
within the next five or ten years, even with
the millions required placed Immediately at

GOgTLD'S GAME.
How Gould Manages to Make Others Play
Against His Game.

In Wal! Street, New York, Union Pa.
cific speculation is simply regarded as
gamble. Gould has the bank, and Others
play against it. 1t is his purpose to get
their money, theirs to get his. These new
and wonderful plans to put semi.bankrupt
corporations ON a sound and paying basis
by stroke Of the pen are part of the
machinery Of his game. Everybody in the
street understands it, and therefore no one
Is deceived. If speculation were adver.
tised on that basis, it would be all fair, but
bats are laid for people outside the Street.
1t is hoped to get them to buy stock with.
out the idea that some great and good thing
is to be done for the property, and that it
is good investment at present prices. 1t
is proposed to raise money by offering tt'
stockholders for purchase a block Of Or
eyon Short Line bonds. This road is one
built by the Union Pacific. 1t does not
earn one.half Of its interest charges Union
Pacific guarantees the interest. 1t can be
repudiated at any time, on the ground of
illcgalitv The Union Pacific Company
now owe more money IN New York than
at any time since i, stopped paying divi.
dcnas, and it had to borrow SSoo,ooo to
meet its May interest payments. Ofcourse
this viii! be clamorously denied, but it i,
true.
The n. Y. Times review of Wall Stree
for last week says: The movements il
Union Pacific stock is getting good dea

LOUIS RIEL CAPTURED.
Gen. Mitltlleton's Scouts Take Him Safely
Into Camp.

\ ST Paul E,,emn.r DiSfatehs special
from Cuardepuy's crossing, via Clark's
Crossing, May 18TH says: The report that
Riel has been captured is confirmed. Many
rebels are giving up arms and the rebellion
has been entirely ended. Dill, Thornc and
Armstrong, three scouts, captured Riel at
noon. He was ON the road, three miles
north of Batouche, and was III company
with three young men, all Of whom were
armed. He appeared unconcerned. Dill said
to him, II am surprised to see you here.'
Riel said, II was coming to give myself
up" He said his wife and family were
across the river. While talking to him
Bou!ton's scouts were seen coming up, and
Riel, becoming afraid Of being shot, begged
his captors to take him into the camp them
selves. Accordingly Dill went off for his
horse, but Boulton's scouts got close and
Thomas and Armstrong took Riel on one
Of their horses, and taking untrequented
roads, took hin. into camp that afternoon.
No demonstration was made. He walked
quietly to the Generals tent. Riel said he
staid ON Tuesday and Wednesday nights in
the bluffs one and one-half miles north OF
Batouche. He wished for trial, and asked
Armstrong if he would get civil or mill
tary one. He said his wife and family were
with the hall breed women near by. Riel
appears carc-worn and haggare.. He has let
his hair grow long ard is dressed in poorer
clothes than ever. With the look Of a hunt
cd man, he is evidently the most fright
e ened man in camp, and in constant fear of
violence at the hands OF the soldiers. There
:. is no danger Of any such violence.
= In the Commons at Ottawa, on the 18th,
;. the Minister of Militia read report Of the
h battle of Batouche, received from General
It Middleton, who thus closes: ~ cannot, OF
course be certain, but am inclined to be

IT any rate, it will, trust, have dispellcd the

ROOD CAPTURED.
Constable smalley Secures the Abson-
der From Fort Collins.

|
Readers of The LEADER will remem-
Der that a few weeks ago a man named
Rood left Fort Collins with a m~ortgaged
team. Rood loaded his family into a
wagon and simultaneously left Fort Col
Inns and a little legacy of 81, 500 or 50, 900.
The officials endeavored to capture him,
and Officer Smalley went to Green noun
tain, where it was thought Rood was
staying. but Rood was not to be found.
Recently a reward of 500 was offered for
the mans capture.
Yesterday Officer Smalley spotted a
man answering to Rood's description.
The man was known as Kinney, and for
about two weeks has been engaged in
teaming about the city. The officer
found Kinney, or Rood, hauling material
for the addition to the Catholic church.
He jumped on the mans wagon and rode
around with him in a sociable way for
some time. A careful scrutiny of the
team and the man satisfied the officer
that he had found the entire outfit, and
so he ended the pleasant little chat by
arrestiug Rood.
Constable Smalley will leave for Fort
Collins this morning. He will take the
team and the man and will turn the out
fit over to the sheriff there. Rood's of
Tense is a serious one under the law, and
he will probably be sent to the peniten-
tiary. Officer Smalley will get the re-
ward for the capture.

He Arrives from the west Hut is stub

-
That statuesque hero. known to fame as
Col. Mapleson, arrived from the west last
evening on his way to Chicago. 1t is
hardly necessary to state that he came
with his private train, or that Her
Majesty s Opera company was also on
board. A few persons met the train at
the depot, but the colonel and the Patti
were invisible to the plebeian gaze. A
few of the brigands and ancient washer
women Of Venora scrambled from the cars
and besieged the lunch counter. They all
wanted macaroni, and"d Frenchi bread"
one or two bought a few bottles of beer,
and soon the train steamed away. The
company goes direct to Chicago.
Emma Nevada was not on the train
yesterday. A dispatch received from San
Francisco last evening stated that she had
just left that city for Chicago. She will
probably arrive in Cheyenne Thursday
night. Why Mapleson ignored all letters
and kilograms regarding the appearance of
Patti in this city, is a bit Of business not
known at the present time, but the rug
ged and stubborn fact remains that he
deigned not even a reply to a number of
communications sent him. The press of
the Pacific coast failed to go into anything
approaching ecstasy over Her Maiesty's
Opera company, and the digniied colonel
is not in a very genial mood at the present
time. Somehow the dear public is be-
ginning to contemplate Italian opera, at
ten dollars n seat, with a reserve that is
positively shocking.
Speaking Of opera prices reminds one
of the fact that a season of opera, lasting
two weeks. is about to begin in Chicago.
The prices of the seats range from 50. so
TO 81.

city in about three weeks. Mr.. Kabis
says that cattle wintered well in New
Mexico, and that the coming season
promises to be a successful one in that
territory His plan of putting southern
cattle on the range early in the season is
one that will doubtless be quite generally
adopted ere long, for its advantages are
evident to all cattlemen.

plant yesterday against one w. A. Watt.
A peace warrant was issued for Watts
arrest, but at IL O'Clock last night he had
not been captured. Watt wrote a blood
curdliug letter to Mr.. Harrington. in
which he threatened the latter with an
ingenious variety of horrible tortures, and
the pleasing assurance was given that
these savage orgies would surely precede
the latter's agonizing death at the hands
Of the writer. Not caring to sail to glory
in a crimson glare, Mr.. Harrington made
q complaint against the sanguinary indi-
udual who had %coniured up the awful
fate, which he wa considcrate enough to
inform Mr.. Harrington was now sus-
pended over his head. In case he can be
found, Watt will be made to explain.

WHO IS TO BLAME7
The Jury Says Scharff Was Killed
BY CareIessness.
Other Witnesses Testify, but the
Accident Still Unexplained.
Potter and Waterbury Explain, and
Railroad Men Indignant.

The coroner's jury. summoned to in
quire into the death of John Scharf, met
again at 9 O'Clock yesterday morning and
continued the examination Of witnesses,
L. ". Waterbury testified that imme-
diately after the accident which resulted
in the death of John Scharff, the deceased
telegraphed to him to come to Cheyenne
He was then in Laramie City. He came
and was with the deceased almost daily
until Scharff was moved to the county
hospital. Shortly after he was injured
the deceased wrote two letters or state
ments, one being for his father and the
other for his brother. He was unable to
finish one, however. Scharff told the wit
ness that he wanted the insurance money
divided between the witness amidst. Johns
Catholic church. He also told the witness
that he was under the car when the acct
dent occurred.
Mr.. G. N. Potter stated that the insur-
ance policy of 81, 1000 on the life of Scharff,
and other papers belonging to the de-
ceased, had been given him by Mr.. Water
bury. When asked what conversation he
had with Mr.. Waterbury regarding
the papers, Mr.. Potter declined to an
swer.
B. B. Foust testified that he had heard
the deceased say that he was under a car
fixing a nut when the accident occurred,
and r. Olivereau stated that at the re-
quest ofthe deceased he had written to
the latter's father in France, and in the
letter had related the manner of the acct
dent.
The jury rendered the following verdict.
We, the jury summoned to investigate
into the cause Of the death Of John
Scharf, after duly considering the testi-
mony. find that the deceased came to his
death from being run over by W cars in
the Union Pacific railroad yard at Chey-
enne depot, and hat he was in the per
formance of his duties at the time of the
accident. and that his death was caused
solely by the injuries received at the time.
The Jury further wish'to say that it is
their opinion, from the evidence, that de-
ceased was undoubtedly under the car in
the act Of repairing it, and that it certainly
ought to have been the duty of some one
to have provided for his safety. while in
such a critical position in the discharge Of
his duty.
