IRISH INDEPENDENCE.
What Hon. John r. Finerty of Chicago,
Has to Say.

CHICAGO, Nov. 80.
Speaking on the topic of Irish indepen-
dence, Hon. John F. Finerty today said:
The affairs in Ireland are turning out as
everybody expected. 1t is the old story over
again. There will be fresh batch of i'm
prisonments and a few more peasants shot.
Unfortunately the Irish are not in shape to
give military resistance. There is no earthly
use in arguing with the tories. Dillon's ad-
vice is the best-to fight the British inch by
inch. If the leaders of the Irish must be i'm
prisoned for this, all right. 1t will be more
expensive to keep them in Jail than out. Dill
lon and O'Brien are showing more courage
than all others. Parnel is an invalid and is
out of the field. The Russian government is
called desgotism, tempered by assassination.
The English government is plutocracy, tenn
pered bv eviction. If the long threatened war
between Russia and England comes, the
former should give arms to the oppressed. All
Ireland would be in blaze of insurrection
in week and it ought to be. Ireland is to.
day as she has been for one hundred years,
ready to welcome as friends the armies of
any power hostile to England.

DROWNED In LAKE MICHIGAN.
A Nights Terrible Experience-Wrecko OF
Two Vessels in a Blioding snow storm
Three Members of a Lie Saving Crew
Meet Their Death.
MANIsrEE, Mich, Nov. sc


A disaster, resulting IN the droSn ning of
three members of the Big Point Sauble life
saving crew, the total destruction of a tug
boat and the possible loss of schooner and
her crew, occurred on Lake Michigan yester-
day morniug.
Sunday night when the wind began TO blow
a gale from the northwest schooner A. G.
Dewey, of Manistee, was lying at a pier
waiting to load lumber for Chicago. Tug A.
P. Wright was with her and when the big
seas were driven in shore both were CON
PEELED to leave. The tug got line from the
schooner and started TO tow her to Manistee
for shelter, but the wind kept increasing iu
violence and the vessel labored so heavily
that the strain on the hawser csused it to part.
One end was swept into the wheel of the tug,
rendering her helpless and the schooner was
lost sight of in the binding snow storm.
About three O'Clock in the morning, after
tossing about for two hours the tug struck
an rolled over on her side. The crew con
sisted of five men who chung 10 the wreck AS
best they could. Freezing seas were sweep
ing over them and their clothing became
rigid with ice. After clinging to the wreck
for three hours daylight came, but with i: nc
signs of relief.
The men by this time were frozen, and,
knowing tnat tney coma not nolu Oh mucn
longer, Linesman Henry Danforlh volun-
teered to make an effort to reach the shore
and after divesting himself of his heavy
clothing strnck out for land. He succeeded
in reaching the shore and farmers house,
where he fell insensibe
The farmer learned that shipwreck had
occurred, and Immediately drove to the life
saving station and apprised the crew, who af-
ter desperate efforts rescued the rest of the
tugs caew in an exhausted and almost per-
ishing condition.
The schooner Dewey was the same vessel
that was reported yesterday rs having dis
played a signal of distress and brought out
the life saving crew, three of whom mt
their deatHs by the capslzing of their boat
Thx Soner had intended to call tug
and w ley saw the life boat hoisted their
flag to the top and hove away, leaving those
who had come to their rescue to their fate.

SPEAKER CARLISLE'S SEAT.
Grounds of Contest Prepared-Mr. ThOe-
be Charges Various Irregularities in
Several COunties-He Claims that 1000
Votes for him Were Not Counted.

CHICAGO, Nov, 80.
Grounds for the contest of Speaker Car
isles seat in the fiftieth Congress have been
prepared and were signed last night by Geo.
II. Theobe, the contestant:
The allegations are numerous, and 1t re-
quires forty five pages Of legal cap to recite
them. The petition starts out by alleging
that there were cast for Thoebe 1000 legal
votes in the sixth Congressional district of
Kertacky, which by omissions, mistakes or
f.aud, and collisions of election officers of
the various precincts and voting places, and
of the county canvsssing boards, were not
counted and returned. 1t is charged that the
poll books and returns of Taumble county
were all in violation of the law and were
opened within less than three days after the
election. Thoebe objected to the county
being counted because the ballot boxes were
in the custody of the county clerk, and ex-
posed and liable to be tampered with by any
evil disposed person.
The objection is made to the vote of Grant
and Gallatn counties, in which all sorts of
frauds are alleged. In the county of Carroll,
which was returned as being in favor of Car
Isle, many irregularities are alleged.
1t is claimed that in manv of the precincts
throughout the district all of the election of
lation of the law.
In the county of Kenton, Carisle's old
home, number of Irregularities are set
forth.
A copy of the petition was given to Speaker
Carlisle last night, with copy of the notice
of the contest.

BLAINE AND EDM UNDS.
A Reported Offer of Reconciliation on tn e
Part of senator Edmunds.

New YORK, Nov. 80.
The Tribune tomorrow will contain the
following: story comes from Washington
as a sequel to the Blaine Edmunds affair. 1t
is said that Senator Edmunds, since his re-
| turn to Washington, has called in a mutual
friend, with whom he has talked over the af-
fair, and through whom he has sent a mes
sage to Mr.. Blaine, indicating his wish to be
come reconcled. 1t is related that Mr. Ed
munds, in his interview with his friend, said,
among other things, II am not inclined at my
age to hold malice toward any man. | have
my family to think of, and the approaching
end of my life, and do not want to be in
volved in controversy or bitterness with any
man. You may say as much to Mr.. Blaine
for me-
In the discussion of the affair at General
Arthur's house which ensued, Mr.. Edmunds is
said to have protested that the letter
which published in Boston on the Sat-
urday previous was never written by
him with any intention of giving offence,
or of imputing to Mr.. Blaine any such char
acter as the newspapers made it appear.
The general construction put upon the letter
was that Mr.. Edmunds believed Mr.. Blaine a
dishonest and dishonorable man. In response
to this intimaton the Senator replied in EN-
phatic language:
81 never at any time said or believed that
Mr.. Blaine was Intentionally guilty of dis.
honorable deed ~
The quotation here of this language of Sen
ator Edmunds has given rise to the belief, il
the report is accurate, that a reconciliation
may be brought about. Some of Mr.. Blsine's
friends say that such statement from Mr..
Edmunds. made as openly and broadly as the
letter which gave offence to Mr.. Blaine,
would result in Mr.. Blaine being the first to
make advances for reconciliation.

What True Merit VIII DO.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup within few years, has astonished
the world. Ii is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the speedy
and efiectual cure of coughs, colds, aud the
the severest lung troubles. 1t acts on an en-
tirely different principle from tbs psual pre-
scriptions given by physicians, as it does not
dry up a cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected
and leaves them in purely healthy condi-
tiou. bottle kept in the house for use
when these diseases make their appearance,
will save doctors bills and long spell of
serious illness. A trial will convince YOU Of
these facts. 1t is positively sold by all drug
Rists and general dealers in the land. Price
75 cents, large bottles.

Public Statement.
WASHINGTON. n

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.
1t is estimated at the treasury department
that the public debt statement, to be issued
tomorrow, will show decrease in the bebt
for the month of November of little over a
million dollars. The small amount of re-
duction is principally due to the fact that
relrly Sl4, 100000 was paid out during the
month for pensions alone. The receipts dur
ing the month was about 1927 900, 900 and the
disbursements about S24 900, 900. In Nov.
of last year the receipts were about $685.
900, 900 and the expenditures about 1923, ,000,-
900. There was an increase of about 81,
900, 900 in the debt in Nov, 1885.

FALSE STATEN ENT.
Consul General Walkers Report of His
Tour of Inspection.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80.
United States Consul General Walker has
reported to the department of State the re.
suits of his tour of inspection of the American
cousulates in Great Britain
The consul general refers to publication
in New York paper Of recent date of an ar
ticle in which it is alleged that the American
consul in Great Britain is in possession of
trust funds, which he is unable or unwilling
TO account for; that he is in social disrepu:e.
and that it is proposed to bring his case to
the attention of her msjesty's minister of for
eign affairs.
Consul General Walker says he has made
most rigid and searching inquiries into the
allegation, and as a result announces the
story malicious and unfounded; that there is
no consul in the district who does not enjoy
the esteem and confidence of the community
n his social and business relations, and sus-
tain the dignity of his office.

A REPLY
by Prot. f. C. Smyth OF the Andover
Theological Seminary, to Charges Pre-.
ferred Against Him.
BOSTON, Nov. 30.

BosToN, Nov. 80.
Prof. E. c. Smyth today fiied with the
board of visitors of the Andover Theological
Seminary this reply to the amended charges
preferred against him and four other profes-
sors. and which were made public Nov. IA
1t will be remembered that the professors
were notified to answer on or before the 29th
to consider reply and fix date for a hear
ing on the charges. However, the profess
sors. on the 29th, under the advice of counsel
instead of replying to the charges, filed ex-
ceptions to the rulings of the board of visit
ors, made on the Goth and Goth of October,
may be dismissed. because such said board
has not in law original jurisdiction of the
subject matter of said amended complaint !;
because the charges were made
in said amended complaint and not
sufficiently definitely and particular and there
tore are insufficient in law; because the said
original complaint can not be legally amend
ed, has not been legally disposed of, and be.
cause the new complaint for the same matters
cannot legally be received while the original
complaint is pending and for other reasons.
Prot. Chnrchill also claims that his chair, the
Jones professorsbip had never been placed
under the jurisdiction of the board of visitors.
Last evening the visitors held a meeting
and after informal discussion it was voted
that the prayers of the respondents to dismiss
the amended complaints be overruled and
the respondents excepted through their coun-
sci. 1t was also voted that further hearing
be held in Boston Dec. %. The reply of the
professors in detail to the amended charges
is made public tonight over the signature of
Prof. Smith, the replies of the others being
almost identical. After calling attention to
the number aad character of the charges
brought against him, Prof. Smith SAYS:
"Such accusations have no reality to me.
| welcome, if for any reason you deem such
scrutiny necessary or useful, the most search
ing examinations now preferred and l shall
be pleased to eXRediate and facilitate such ex-
animation to the full extent of my power. At
