LONDON, June 5.-Henry Labouchere,
in an interview to-day with a reporter,
said: ARA.
l do not believe in Gaines estimate that
there are eighty-eight dissdents who will
vote against the second reading of the home
rule bill My estimate places the total num-
Der at seventy-two. 1t agrees with Gaines as
to the number of Hartingtonites, but lessons
his number of Champeraiuites. Chamberlain
says he is impressed to consider the spirit of
Gladstone's utterances in addition to his
words. 1t would be much simpler for Cham
berlaiu to say be did not believe a
word Gladstone utters. Came, the dis
sident whip, is political Dugald
Dalgetty. He changes service readily. He
is d genial, alluring rufiian. / believe the
Tories would gain somewhat in the general
election in the event of dissolution, but
that the dissidents would lose. The
Irish vote will give Gladstone
thirty seats in England. 1t would be a fatal
error to dissolve before defeat, but wise to
dissolve instantly after defeat ana before
popular indignation over Gladstone S
overthrow subsidized. / have too
much respect for the queen to be-
ieve her majesty would refuse her
assent to the dissolution of parliament if
Gladstone should be defeated. l would de-
test any attempt on the part of the Tories
and dissidents to sneak into power under
cover of IL woman's petticoats. / believe
Chamberlain will return a repentant sinner
TO the radical fold. He lacks judgment.

A Slick Swindler.

For several days prior to the Sd inst.
great excitement prevailed in the City of
Mexico over the sale of tickets at the Ma
nights in January. The populace had
nearly gone wild over the expected advent
of the great songstress. Seats sold at $50
and six times their ordinary price, and
some persons paid $1,000 for boxes. In
the course of one day-Thursday last-the
box Office had taken in $4,000, while the
day previous private sale amounted to
$4,000. The ostensible agent conducting
the sale, man giving his name MS Mayer,
had with him various letters, some
of which he showed to Minister
Manning and others, and since the
theater had been previously engaged for
season of Patti, it is no wonder that the
GLOWING people of the city were I'M
suspicious of the smooth swindle being
pelpetrated upon them. The Governor OF
the federal district, it appears, thought
possibly all might not be well, and sent to
Mayer to inquire who was responsible for
from the public, but Mayer managed to
avoid contact with the Governor, or any
act that would further arouse suspicion.
Thursday night, Mayer went to his hotel,
accompanied by a policeman, whom Mayer
supposed was appointed to guard him and
his cash on the way, but whose duty in re-
ality was to see that he deposited all the
money in the hotel safe. In some ingeni-
GUS way Mayer transferred over 500, 900 in
National bank bills to the pockets of his
overcoat, deluding the policeman into be-
lieving all had been placed in the safe.
Mayer was then permitted to go to his
room. The next morning he failed to put
in an appearance at the box Office. The
safe was opened, and only $4,000 in silver
dollars was found, which of course could
not be taken away. While the deluded

Dakota Land Business.

The present amount Of vacant Govern
ment land, not including Indian reserva-
tons, subjecS to original entry in Dakota,
is estimated by the Commissioner of I'm
migration at 1S,5OO,O00 acres. In the Bis
marck District alone there are over 12,5OO,-
600 acres; in the DEVILS Lake District,
nearly 100000 acres; in the Deadwood
(Black Hills) District, about 100000 acres,
and in the Aberdeen District, about soc, 900
acres.
The Huron Land District, with hardly
$4,000 acres of untallen land, will be
classed for 1887 among the REIMBURSEMENT
misunderstanding the Yankton, Mitchell,
Watertown, Fargo and Grand Forks Dis
tricts--where the new filings are on lands
previously taken up, which are relinquished
by others or contested for valid causes.
The Legislature having changed county
boundaries SO often of late, the settler in
any one of q dozen counties has to locate
himself by town and range lines in order to
tell which land district he is in. To rem
edy this difficulty, and as matter of pro-
prlety and convenience, the Commissioner
of Immigration is endeavoring to have the
land district boundaries changed SO as to
conform to existing county lines. The
number of new entries during September
at the nine United States Land Offices
named in the table was 952, within two of
as many as reported for the entire ten dis
tricts in the Territory for the previous
month. Estimating the new business of
the Mitchell Office, which is not included in
the table, to have been only the same as for
August, viz, seventy filings, would make
the total for September 1922 new entries, a
fair increase over the midsummer month.
The total area newly filed at the nine Offices
reporting was 144,153 acres, and of land
acquired by proof and cash entry, "a, 1855
acres. The table for September is as fol-
lows.

An Iowa Congressman Resigns.

Congressman Frederick, of the Fifth Dis
trict of Iowa, has forwarded his resignation
from Washington to Gov. Larrabee, to
take effect upon the election of his sue
cessor. Mr.. Frederick, in letter to Pres
idont Cleveland, assigns his reasons for re-
signing as follows:
After all outrageous gerrymander by tho Re-
publican party of the State of Iowa, i'll which Il
district was created with 1900 republican ma
jority, accepted the nomination and was
denomination and in the election just passed
would have boon reelected but for the fact that
was sick in bed during the entire campaign. I
was defeated by less than 700 votes. In June
last, your Postnoster-G General invited me, rs tho
member of Congress- in whose district the Office
was located, to name a man for the position at
ocrat indorsel by fifty lending Democratic bust
ness men of Iowa City and over 200 of her fore
most Democratic citizens. There were other
candidates seeking the Office, one of whom be-
lieve had the Endorsement of Mr.. Murphy. What
was my surprise, while on route to Washington,
to read in the press reports that George Paul,
pointed Postmaster at Iowa City. instead Of the
man had named. I have been in Washington
three days, have called ut the Executive Man
sion and have been unable to see you and
take this method of communicating to you the
information of what to is the most painful
act of my life. have forwarded to the Governor
Vi my StI5e 1Ey resignation or my seat as n
member of the Forty ninth Congress, to take eff
feet upon the election of my successor. have
been forced to this course to maintain my self
respect and by the indignity thrust upon me by
your PostmasterGeneral.
Up to July last Iowa City was in the
district which Mr.. Frederick was elected to
represent but under the new arrangement
of Congressional Districts it is within the
limit of Judge Murpby's district. The
Postmaster General has, therefore, taken
the advice of Murphy, instead of that of
Frederick, in the selection of the Iowa
City Postmaster.

The irish Rent War.

A London special says: Reductions of
rents in Ireland are going on rapidly, and
landlords continue to submit, one after an
other, while number of tenants are ex-
bibiting willingness to accept reasonable
terms. The tenants Of Lord Cough and
Lady Belew have accepted a reduction o..
Is per cent. Those of the O'Callaghan,
Duckett, and French estates have refused
20 per cent reduction and demand 80,
and have adopted plan of campaign on
this basis. The Duke of Leinister's ten
ants have purchased their holdings at an
eighteen years computation. which is equa,
to reduction of 20 per cent.
A score Of Parnellite members of Parlia-
ment attended demonstrations in all parts
of the country yesterday to advocate their
plan of campaigns if the reductions of rent
demanded are refused. Many landlords
are yielding to this organized agitation,
while others stubbornly hold out and de-
mand that the Government shall take Wig
orous action to enforce the regular rentals.

verdict of $16,537 against Gen. B. F. But
Ter and in favor of the National Soldiers
Home. The suit was to recover $4,000
alleged to have been unaccounted for ty
Gen. Butler as former Treasurer of the
Home. The declaration alleged that on
Nov. 20, 1885, Gen. Butler was given
$4,000, which payment is not accounted
for, although the amount has been charged
by the defendant as credit in his accounts
with plaintiff. Gen. Butler claims to have
paid the Home in full all sums of money
which at any time he owed it. Prentice
Cummings, plaintiff attorney, states that
on Gen. Tilton's books the transaction
concerning the $4,000 was not entered,
and when it was paid that fact was not en-

of outrage in that city. The man is Rev.

The Jewish people of Ell Paso raised money

he stepped off at chihuahua on the Sd inst,
and after going about the streets for q
while with an American, they returned to
their hotel. Soon afterwards an officer

with being revolutionists, and took them
before q magistrate. Rappaport says an
officer went through his pockets and took
$4S. He showed his papers to the magis-
trate, who thereupon discharged him, but
kept the $4S for costs. He says the Ameri-
