A NationNlists Meeting Breaks Up In q
Terrible Riot.
Coax, April l5.-After the meeting of
Nationalists here tonight the crowd scat
tered through the city in parties of so to
900 men. Doors and windows were
smashed, flags and decorations were torn
down aud heaped upon blazing bonfres
and many gun stores were broken into
for the purpose of arming the mob.
Policemen when encountered singley or in
small parties were attacked and beaten un-
mercifully with their own truncheons. In
many cases the police rallied and charged
desperately upon the mob but they were in
varisbly surrounded and repulsed. The po-
lice resorted to free use of revolyers and
bayonets. 1t was hand to hand fighting of
the worst sort, the police standing back to
back and receiving and inAicting terri
bic injuries At midnight the streets were
practically in possession Of the mob. Police
men who remained uninjured could not at
tempt to do more than maintain their posi-.
tions. In addition to attacks from the
crowds in the streets the police were ex-
posed to murderovs volley of stones from
windows and other points ofVantage. The
belief at midnight was that the streets could
not be cleared without artillery.
Suppressed.
LONDON, April l6.-4a. m.-Rioting at
Cork has been suppressed. Many arrests
we're made, and the hospitals are filed with
wounded policemen and rioters.

Want to Find Out What Is Meant by "Of-
fensiye Partisanship."
WAsHNGToS, April l5.-The Democrats
Of California are making strong effort to
bring about change in the Office of Post
master Of San Francisco. In endeayoring
to procure the removal of the incumbent
the California Democrats, who have been di-
yided into two distinct factions, are more
nearly united than they have been on any
other question of patronage. 1t is charged
that the Republican incumbent, who is edit
or of a newspaper, is an offensive partisan,
and that during the last campaign he was
personally abusive against President Cleve-
land. California Democrats now say they
intend to make test case Of this matter
with a view of aseertaining just what con-
stitutes offensive partisanship" in the esti-
nation Of the administration.
Secretary Lamar, in conversation with
several Democrats, one Of whom remarked
that there was dissatisfaction in the party
at what was considered the dilatoriuess Of
the administration in removing Republicans
and putting in Democrats, said, somewhat
significantly, that it should be remembered
that not only new party, but new men had
come into cantrol Of the government; that
the men in chargeufthe departments could
not familiarize themselves with the vast in
terests and duties entrusted to them in a
day, and it was better for the country for the
administration to proceed slowly and eau
tiously in making selections for Office. Sec
retary Lamar intimated quite plainly that
a great deal of harm might result from un-
due haste, while nothing but good could
come from deliberstion

The people of his State feel much aggrieved
at this state of things he said. The Presi.

he would call the attention of Secretary
