AMERICA'S OPINION OF GLAD

Matthew Arnold Thinks Intelligent
Opinion Here In Against Irish Home

Matthew Arnold Thinks Intelligent
Opinion Here ts Against Irish Home
Rule.
Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, August 6.-The following paragraph
summarizes Matthew Arnold's experiences of
American views about Gladstone as recorded in
a long letter to the Times published this morning.
Arnold deals first with Gladstones statement
that the civilized world is in his favor. "This''
says Arnold, "would be important IL true.
suppose in no country is the unanimity in his
favor stronger thar i'm the United States, yet
here IL you weigh opinions instead of counting
them the balance OF opinion is against Glad
stones Irish policy. Wherever you meet with
man of high intelligence and wide knowledge
you will almost certainly find him q dis
believer in the wisdom of Gladstones Irish
policy. Il admire Gladstone he will probably
say, but he Is making mistake i'm Ireland
nave myself found but one staunch supporter
OF GladstOne's Irish policy whom should call
man OF high intelligence and wide knowl-
edge-GOdkin-the well-known editor of the
ECentng Post and Nation. Godkin is Irish
man. With the American people generally the
main motive is a temptation to do Irish
pleasure. The weighty opinion is not that of
the general public who yield to this temptation.
IL Is that OF men VINO resist il, who look
deeper into the matter. OF these serious people
In America the opinion is, l repeat, against
Gladstone. strongly suspect the same thing
Is true OF the rest OF the civilized world also"

A WELLrKNOwN wHEELMAN DIES FROM INJU.
RIEs RECEIVED IN A FRACAs.
CHICAGO, July 6.-The sudden death of Major
William NJ. Durell, a prominent member of the
Illinois division OF American wheemen, was
announced in the various local papers yester-
day. The cause OF death was said TO be apo
menting on his death, says: "While it is a fact
that apopiexy was the cause, nevertheless it
has since been ascertained by the investigations
of detectives that the apoplectic stroke which
ended in his death was the result of injuries
which he received Tuesday evening. The de-
ceased had been financially and otherwise in
tereSted in athletic sports at Cheltennam beach
and elsewhere in connection with Duncan c.
Ross Tuesday evening, in company with Ross,
he entered weii,known sporting resort on
Clark street, near Monroe, where he met Paddy
Ryan, the pugilist, and Harrison, 1.-The Un-
KNOWN" and where during the evening numer-
Gus fights occurred between Paddy Ryan, "The
Unknown" and several others. The fighting
finally became general, and almost everybody
who was in the place at the time was necessa-
place about 10 o'clock and went TO his home
where, on arriving, he Immediately complained
of a severe pain in his lead. His wife at once
sent for a physician, who examined him
and found that there was a very pro-
nounced determination OF the blood to the head,
to relieve which he used hypodermic injec-
tions, thinking that his patient was threatened
with apOpleXy. Major Dureli then went TO
sleep. About O'clock in the morning his
wife was awakened 6y MS heavy gasping A
a few minutes he was dead. An examination
showed that the deceased had received numer-
Gus kicks and blows on the right side, extend
ing from the shoulder to the hip. There were
discolorations, the result OF blows on the back,
and that there was large swellings on the neck,
apparently caused by blow a kick. The
friends OF Major Durell, on hearing these facts,
proceeded to investigate the matter, and what
they have already learned has satisfied them
that the deceased received the injuries which
caused his death during the fight which oc-
Cured in the saloon and in the alley adjacent,
and in .1Sh which PADDY Ryan the ppsils aarri
were engaged. The major was a gentleman
both by birth and education; had served in the
confederate army with distinction, and hon.
orably earned his title and lost an arm In the
service. He was known as q generous man, q
true-hearted friend and q genial companion,
and his untimely death will be deeply mourned
by those who Intimately knew him."
