Lord HartingtOu's Plans.

HOPING TO FORM AN INDEPENDENT PARTY
AND COMPEL THE WITHDRAWAL OF THU
IRISH BILLS.
Lord Harrington, In q speech In Lancashire
last evening, said that no alterations would re-
move the objections TO the Irish scheme. He
did not wish to coalesce with the tories but
hoped with the assistance of Mr.. Chamberlain,
Mr.. Trevelyan, Mr.. Goschen, Sir Henry James,
Mr.. Bright, Earl Sellborn, Earl Derby and the
Duke of Argyll to create an independent party
or 10 induce the withdrawal OF the measure. A
portion OF the audience made hostile demon
STATIONS against the speaker.
Mr.. Bright, who was unable TO attend the
meeting, sent letter, in which he said he
thought Lord Hartington's conduct had been
consistent and courageous. ut would loo {,
Calamity Tor the country Ii measures OF the
transcendent magnitude of MIR. Gladstone 5
should be accepted on the authority of any
leader, however eminent. The present sad d.
vision in the liberal party has arisen through
the introduction of the Irish measures before
the public mind was properly prepared for
them"
A loyalist meeting was held at The Maze.
County Antrim, Ireland, yesterday, at which
some violent speeches were made. Mr. john
ston, conservative member of parliament for
South Belfast moved that Irish loyalists refuse
10 recognize the Dublin parliament IT estab-
lshed, decline TO pay taxes, and resist attempt
10 eulorce them TO pay taxes. He said he in-
tended To draw up list OF those loyalists who
were prepared to bear arms. He was greeted
with loud and enthusiastic cheers.

Nationals shut Out the Yares.

BALL GAMES IN OTHER CITIES YESTERDAY.
The Nationals again easily shut out the Yale
College nine yesterday, the score being IL to o.
The visitors did not field as we'll as on Satur-
day, and they could do nothing with Bars
pitching, securing but one hit in the seven inn
ings played. Baker caught Barr to everybody IS
satisfaction. The Nationals will play picked
nine to-day. Daily, the new pitcher, will occupy
the box for the regulars, while Fuller, the young
twirler from Hyattsville, will pitch for the
picked nine.
The Baltimores defeated the Athletics in Phil
adeiphla yesterday by a score OF 8 to 3. Kiiroy,
the Baltimore phenomenon, pitched a remark
able game. Seven OF the first nine men at the
bat struck out, and it was not until the ninth
inning that a bit was secured by the Athletics.
In this inning Stovey's fly to left center field
was allowed to drop between Hoover and Greer,
and the batter was credited with hit. Kilroy
received quite an ovation at the end of the
game.

Our Public Parks,

10 the Editor or The EVENING STAR.
Very timely, and in u proper manner one of
our city papers has called attention te the fact
that the people are prohibited, under all cir
cumstances, from "trespassing," as it is called,
upon the beautiful grassy lawns of our city
parks; that although thousands and hundreds
ct thousands of dollars have been expended
upon these parks no one is allowed to set foot
upon the grass. except policemen armed with big
able and inconvenient inhibition. 1t is very
true the people OF this city and the thousands
OF visitors from various parts Of the Union who
come here, are privileged to walk upon the
asphalt and graveled drives and to occupy the
seats at the edge of these drives, but no one of
however inviting those plats or the shade may
be, without subjecting himself to the perils Of
arrest and fine. This is barbaric, and at war
with the spirit OF our civilization and Congress
ought to abolish it.
Can any good reason be given why the people,
why the families and children Of the District Of
Columbia and the families and children who
are visitors to the national capital should not
be privileged, under proper restrictions and
regulations, to walk across the green sward and
enjoy the shade of our numerous large parks
and public grounds? Why should these be
placed by law within charmed circle, the peo-
pie to whom they belong being only privileged
TO view them from the hot walks and drives
which meander through them? What would be
the estimate placed upon the taste and good
who, providing in his front yard beautiful
shrubbery and grass, should issue an imperious
order forbidding his wife and children to step
upon that grass? Such a father would be re-
garded as unworthy Of the relation which he
sustains to his family and to society. By the
same parity OF reasoning think the argument
is conclusive that the thousands of acres of
beautiful grass with which the parks of the peo-
pie abound, and which have been provided out
OF the Treasury that belongs to them, should be
opened to their enjoyment-not opened TO their
Dissertation and destruction or injury, but open
under wise e. and proper regulations to the at
to be they were established. A CITIZEN

Desperate Fight Between Kentucky

LEXINGTON, KY, April PA terrible hon,-
icide was committed on the Tate's-creek pike,
about six miles from this city, saturday amer

fatally cut Littleton Stewart, a neighbor Both
men were in the city all day and started for
home about the same time. When three miles
from the city kimbal overtoo ok stewart who
WAS in wagon accompanied 10y "A negro
woman, who was under the Influence of liquor.
kimbal passed the latter, but after driving "A
short distance again allowed stewart to pass
him. How the fight commenced no one knows
but survey OF the grounds indicates "a most
desperate struggle, blood being scattered around
profusely on both sides OF the road. From
The stains ON the wagon IL is surmised that
kimean first struck Steward while the
latter was in the vehicle, and
that both of them jumped Ia the ground.
When found by several gentlemen who were
passing they were lying on the ground tightly
locked in an embrace, kimball's right arm be-
ing around Stewart, while lac had his left Leg
over kimball. When the halter taken OF
IL was discovered that Stewart was IN "A dying
condi ton. The wounds received by stewart.
whic IA were inflicted with large pocket knife
were seven In mum ber-three in the arm. and
one each in the side, breast. temple ana throat,
any one OF the last three being seIilciout to
cause death. The affair grew out OF an old feud
that dates back ten or twelve years, and Is of a.
political character.

OF THE AMERICAN KNIGHTS
Agitation has been proceeding for months in
the midland counties OF England with a view @,
iederating the trades, especially the iron and

tect is secured the organization will extend
throughout tho country. 1t was originally
urged by some of the leaders to join the Ameri.
can knights of Labor, and correspondence on
the subject between the executive authorities
OF the Knights and their English brethren
was kept up for some time. The opponents OF
the proposal ccmbated The scheme on the
grounds Of the great distance which would sep
arate the English workers from the executive
head OF the organization, and the consequent
difficulty of obtaining advice in the event OF a
sudden strike or lockout The knights ap-
