New YORK. Dec. 2.-Detectives tonight
arrested Henry Falkenberg tailor charged
with the crime of liking" the jury in the
trial of McQuade. The prisoner refused
TO make any statement. He will be ar
raigned tomorrow. The fact was developed
during the examination of taleSmen in the
McQuade trial to-day that two of them had
been visited last night by strangers who
wanted to know how they stood in the mat
ter One of the strangers said Aid. Fairly had
requested him to get the talesmanS opinion
in regard to McQuadeS guilt or innocence.
The matter will be investigated. When the
court adjourned this evening the jury box
was full, but peremptOry objections will
probably change the list materially. There
were rumOrs of arrests of aldermen for jury

The Esieht of the Govern nlemt to
Suppress the National league.

suppress the NatEOnaE League.
DUBLIN, Dec. 2.-The United Irela ID
published legal opinion given by Rt. Hon.
Hugh Holmes, attorney general for Ireland,
to the government as to the right to sup
press the new movement of the Irish Ma
iional league, which aims to beat tn, land
lords by having tenants deposit with a trus-
tee for tender such sums below the de-
manded rents as the tenants believe fair and
are able to pay. The line of action which
the landlords proposed to have the govern
ment adopt to crush out this form of resist
ance was to arrest every person who should
act as trustee, thus rendering the leagues
plan of paying rent futile. the landlords
agents being of course debarred from ac-
cepting tenders below the landlords figures.
Attorney General Holmes says
MEN HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT
to act as trustees for tenants as proposed by
the league. and the government has no right
to arrest them for so acting. Mr. Holmes
also advises the landlords to seek some
method of getting their money from tenants
which will not involve government assist
ance.
The LondOnTimes. commenting on the rent
war in Ireland, says it wishes the govern
of it's own strength. Whether by misfor-
tune or fault. says the Times. the govern
ment fails to inspire the needful confidence
in its resolution. The struggle would soon
end if the law would prove strong enough
to make itself respected, and Irishmen
would quickly recognize their masters and
range themselves on the winning side.
To frustrate landlords endeavoring to
seize rents by means of garnshee orders
served on rent trustees. amended instruc-
tions have been issued on the plan of

to persons of assured integrity, but pos
sessed of no property. whom the garnishee
order will not affect. This precaution has
already been taken in regard to twenty
seven properties.

there with Mr.. Sexton. On being asked
what. in his opinion, lad caused the pres
ent action of the government. Mr.. Sexton
replied that he had no doubt the success OF
the Nationalists' campaign compelled the
Irish landlords to appeal to the government,
which had listened to their entfeaties. Mr..
Sexton said if the government attempts to
suppress the league through the viceroy, it
will find itself in ruinOusly untenable pO-
sition. Moreover, if the league be sup
pressed and its meetings proclaimed, the
government will find the situation more
difficult than ever, as public indignation
will make the success of the tenants all the
more rapid.
Two hundred and thirty tenants on Lord
de Frayne's Sligo estate to-day paid their
rents, less 90 per cent, to Mr.. Redmond
and others as trustees, the agent of the es-
tate having refused to grant reduction.
The payments were made in an orderly and
busness-like manner. The total amount
exceeded $4,000. Mr.. Redmond in a
speech said that the moment Lord de
Frayne decided to accept the money it
would be turned over to him. If he tried
eviction the sum would be used in defend
ing them.

ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, Dec. 2.-Early
yesterday morning a party of masked men
surrounded the Jail at Monticello the
county seat of Drew county and demanded
from the jailer the surrender of Brick
Hunter, colored. who was charged with
assault with intent to kill two respected
citizens OF that county. Finding that re-
sistance would be worse than useless the
jailer surrendered the key to the cell in
which the man was confined, and the mob
seized Hunter, placed rope around his
neck and led him out into the suburbs of
the town and strung him up to a limb. To
make sure work of ii, they then empted
their shot guns into the suspended body.
They dispersed so quietly that very few of
the citizens of the town knew that the
lynching had been done until daylight,
when Hunters body was found where the
mob had left it.

what an American student Saw OF
it--Mr. Fiagg's Lecture at Y. M. G.
A. Hall.
Certainly after nine years art study in
France Charles Noel Flagg should know
something of French art, and the fine audi
ence that packed Y. M. G. A. hall last
night seemed to think he does by the way
it punctuated his points with applause
and laughter. Mr.. Flagg is story
teller of natures own appointment,
and he told many good ones, from the
opening allusion to the EnglShman'S hastY
generalization that all French girls were
red headed because the first one he saw had
red hair, through to the convulsing account
of the man who refused to sit by woman
whose dress was soled until he found she
was Rosa Bonheur. Speaking of English
men, he was particularly severe upon
English art claiming that the only true
artists in England were not truely English,
as for example. Alma Tadema and our
own white-topped Whistler. He was also
decidedly caustc in his illusions to the
plaque painting pretenders to art. and paid
his compliments to those who paint por-
traits firm photographs in way that must
have made any such present squirIn. He
does not believe that art can be learned from
books, anent which was an anecdOte about
brisk young American who proposed to go
to Bongereau and say. there's $500; now
show me the trick" Mr. Flagg does not
think 1.-THE trick" can be learned except by
laborious years spent in drawing from the
antique. Painting comes by nature. but
the ability to see and reproduce form is
matter of hard work, truly life-work in
its higher aspect In this con-
nection he paid a high tribute
to the art school now in charge
of his friend Douglas Volk at
Minneapolis. The Bohemian side of art
life in Paris. the flowing bowl and fragrant
weed of Fellowship, among its great
est masters and freshest novices, was per-
haps not exactly Y. M. G. A. notion Of
education. but the beautiful eulogy on
Bohemia, which he quoted from Wallack's
last play, "HarveSt." and with which he
concluded his talk, must have convinced all
that Bohemia is not so black as it has been
painted. Mr.. Flagg was heartily congrat-
ulated by many of those present.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 2.-The excite
ment which prevailed to-day in mining
shares has not been equaled since 1878.
Old stock spectators who thought the glory
of the Golden state had departed with the
new constitution braced up and looked on
with amazement at the crowds that besieged
the brokers' offices. The fact that Console
dated Virginia had reached nearly fifty
seemed only to whet their appetite to get
more and when the more prudent ones told
them the tide was abou, to turn they only
laughed in their face ,tid NO. its

this moment

hardly closed when news arrived from VIr-
ginia City that the FrankelS had gone up
for 81, QUO, 0O0. This was Staggerer, aud
the WeakenerS sold off. Hardly had they
recovered from the blow when the an
nOuncement was made that X. q. Hooker,
one OF the StauncheSt brokers of Pine street,
and a Son-in-laW OF Senator Stewart of
Nevada, had pulled down his blinds, with
liabilities running up into the hundreds OF
thousands. Had this latter announcement
been quickly followed by another OF equally
grave character. the result would have
been general stampede all along the line,
bringing ruin to many. Fortunately
none took place, and those who
were playing for their all were
given few minutes breathing
time before the worst overlook them. At
ter these failures the board resolved to hold
no session at 80 O'Clock, but to have the
next one at p. IN. This was to allow the
brokers to overhaul their books and give
them a chance to see where they stood.
When the second session opened CONSOLE

were correspondents of Frankei of Virginia,
whose failure had been announced in the
morning. When, on top OF all this, it was
stated that other prominent spectators,
Il. I. Morrow and Maurice Schmidt. had
failed. it was generally believed that the
beginning OF the end had begun, and things
were by no means improved when it was
learned that Consolidated Virginia. after
rallying a point, had closed at 40, the
lowest touched during the day. The state
ment that Morrow and Schmidt had failed
was denied. and as far as can be learned
the liabilities of each have been promptly

BERLIN, Dec Am exchange of views
is proceeding between the Conservatives
and the National Liberals. looking to the
adoption of common programme. provid-
ing through new fiscal measures resources
for the augmentation of the effective
strength of the army. The Progressists
have decided to demand triennal instead
of the septennial. In accordance with the
request of Emperor William the artists of
Berlin have modified their programme for
the proposed fetes on the occasion of the
ninetieth anniversary of the emperor'S birth.
There will be no public demonstration. as
it is understood the emperor is desirouS
that the day be passed quietly. Accord

Standard Petroleum company, of America,

ice fields all the time. The 1agblatt states
that the proposed German naval demonstra-

Three gunboatS and the iron-clad, Bis

Herr Won Scholz, imperial finance min

deficiency by saying that ''stOck jobbers de-
frauded the revenue by making false re-

brokers will, it is thought. take concerted
action to demand an apology from Herr
