AN INTERVIEW
With Patrick Egan on the National Land
League Question.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.
Patrick Egan, president of the Irish Amer
lean National League, arrived in this city to-
day. Michael Davitt, owing to unforeseen
delay en- route. did not reach Chicago till
evening. Egan was asked today, "Do you
expect much trouble at the forthcoming con-
vention?"
Every likely of course there may be some
difficulty, but we apprehend nothing of a
serious nature"
will not the gentlemen who constitute
the Palmer House committee be likely to
make things lively?"
"Not at all. We don't expect much trouble
from them. These gentlemen have no con-
nection with the league.
'Is this merely local trouble or does it
extend outside of Chicago?'
at is entirely confined to Chicago"
at has been the impression that local
trouble and dissensions in outside States had
their origin in different sources and that the
split in Chicago began in the Ancient Order
of Hibernains."
81 don't think so. believe the trouble
originated from the malice and jealousy of a
few men here toward Alexander Sullivan.
That is the short and long of it,
Eagan stated emphatically that he wouldn't
be candidate for reelection as president of
the National League.

STILL RAGING.
Damage by the Wisconsin Fires-Nany

tie Success.
Ear CLAIRE. Wis Aus ,s

EAU CLAIRk, Wis, Aug is.
The latest reports from the Chippewa fire
districts in Wisconsin have just been received
from several woodsmen who arrived last
evening at Eau Claire. They have travelled
considerably over the burnt and unburnt dis
tricts and say no territory can escape the de-
vsststion of the flames during the present
dry condition. The Superior regions are we'll
burned over and fires have broken out afresh
in a number of localities on the upper Chip
Fews since Tuesday and are raging tearfully.
Of the territory so far unburnt are tracts
along the Deertail river, toward Sault St.
Marie on which there are plenty of clippings
and windfslls which will offer most combus-
tble food for the flames which are expected
TO reach that locality within a dsy or two.
Settlements are not thick in that territory,
and the loss will be confined to standing pine
and hemlock.
On the Yellow river 40 miles northwest of
Eau Claire the fires have done irreparable
damage. having their own way. Men are
now stationed at the logging camp at hay
marshes to save that property if possible.
The Chippewa districts have so far escaped
with less damage than other districts east
ward. The lumber manufactures and Mutu-
al Insurance Company of Eau Claire have
sent an agent to the fire districts to look over
matters and see that all protection necessary
is furnished to the saw mills and other prop
erty.

THE GENUINE ARTICLE.
A Boston SchOOlmaster Sees the Sea
serpent in the Atlantic.

BosToN, Aug. l3.
In communication to the Journal Mr. G.
b. Putnam, master of the Franklin school,
Boston, announces the appearance of a sea
serpent of Pigeon Cove, Mass, Thursday
afternoon. He states it was first observed
by little son of Alvin w. Poole, surveyor,
who brought his powerful transit to bear
upon it, and WAS at once satisfied it was the
verltable serpent. 1t was about ne-fourth
OF mile from shore and about two miles
from where he was seen last month. 1t was
moving slowly in a northery direction. 1t
was dead calm smooth sea, with bright
sun shining, so there was the best possible
opportunity to observe its movements. The
distance passed over while observed was at
least mile. and the time occupied not more
with marine glass, to observe the move
ments, which corresponded fully with those
described BY DIR. Sanborn, last month, as
we'll as by other witnesses. The head was
frequently raised partially out of the water,
and the movement was vertical one, show
ing some ten or fifteen ridges at once. 1t
seemed about so feet in length. There were
perhaps fifty persons who witnessed the pas
sage, including Samuel Bullock, master of
the Bunker Hill School, Boston; Prof.
Stephen Emery of the New England Conser-
vatory, with his family; Capt. Jackson,
artist, and several members of the writer's
family; also a small number of hotel guests.
school of porpoises also passed, so they
had an opportunity to compare their appear
ance with that of the serpent.

THE CUTTING CASE.
The Diario's Opinion of the Coufine.
ment OF Editor Cutting-A New Phase
in the Case.


CTTr OF MEXICO, Aug. Is.
The Diario, official government organ for
pub ication of DEGREES, department decisions,
etc, today contains important documents re.
garding the Cutting case, including full text
of the decision of Judge Zubia at Psso Del
Norte, which show clearly and unmistaksbly
that the court held Cutting for crime begun
on Mexican soil and continued simultaneous.
ly in Texas and Mexico. This puts a new
phase on the case as it shows that Judge
Zubia regarded the case as one continuous
act. IL passing sentence on Cutting, the
Judge said the basis of criminal proceedings
against the defendant was the first proof be-
fore him that he committed an offense classed
as crime by law evidence, of which was af.
forded hey ond dispute by publication, which
appeared in the Ell Centinela, June 6,
last, paper published on Mexican SOIL
Secondly, that although it was true here
it was an act of conciliation, which would
have satisfied the offended party had it been
complied with, it was also true that this act
OF Cancellation was not fulfilled and therefore
the crime still stands.
Third, the proof of lack of compliance with
the act of conciliation is found in the CON-
munication printed by Cutting in the Ell Paso
Sunday Herald in which he renews his de-
famatory charges against Medina and the
same time publishes an articles in the Ell
Centinela, on Mexican soil, in which he sup
presses capital letters and puts the name of
Medina in microscopic type an order to make
its reading difficult.
Fourth, a renewal of the charges does not
constitute new offense. but it is confirma-
ton of the previous charges.
Fifth, that being so the criminal response
bility of Cutting arose from the publication
in Ell Centinela which was renewed in a
Texas paper, his renewal or ratification not
constituting new crime which should be
punished with different penalty than that
which corresponds to the first publication.
The judge further says that even supposing
without conceding it, that the crime of defa-
nation had been committed in Texas, the
fact that Cutting had circulated in Psso del
Norte Ell Paso copies of the Sunday Herald,
of which Medina complained and which were
by order of the court seized on the p. emises,
on Cutting and on Mexican soil, constitutes
properly the contamination of crime accord
ing to the penal code. Judge Zubis says,
with special emphasis on the fact that Cut
ting actually circulated on Mexican soil his
renewal of the libel published in Texas, tina,
this renewal OF the libel published in Texas
is an offence. Were the case reversed ii
would be punishable under the present code
in Texas.

they didn't report to the authorities their
