ATTACKED THE BISHOP.

A Lively Meeting in Limerick
Protests Against the Papal Re-
script and "Roasts" Bishop
O'Dwyer.
LONDON, May 27.-The National
league meeting, held in Limerick to-day
to protest against the papal rescript,
was an enormous affair. Special trains
were run to carry people in from out
lying points, and their capacity was
taxed to the utmost. Mr.. William
O'Brien, the principal orator, made a
Scathing attack upon Bishop O'DWyer,
of Limerick, for having written the
mayor. warning Catholics against at
tending the meeting under the pain of
committing a grievOus sin, and vir-
tually accused the bishop of construct
i've falsenood. A copy of the obnoxious
letter, MIR. O'Brien declares, was sent
by Bishop O'Dwyer to every Orange
man newspaper in the kingdom,
while copy was not sent to the
addressed. The remarks of Mr.. O'Brien
ELECTED repeated cheers for himself and
other home rule leaders, and as often
brought gourth a rumbling chorus of
groanS for Bishop O'Dwyer. The bishop
left Limerick last evening, manifestly
not caring to remain in the city during
the storm he must have known his
letter woald create. A large number
of meetings were held throughout
Ireland to-day. The were uniformly
orderly and peaceful and singularly
free fIom government interference.
THE POPE MUST BE oBEYED.
LONDON, May 2S.-The Rome CORE
spondent of the Times says: 1.-The final
audience with the pope convinced Arch
bishop Walsh that the rescript must be
obeyed, but that the vatican would not
make the compliance needlessly diff
cult. The archbishop expressed his in
tention to endeavOr TO stop meetings and
to insure submisSiOn.'
ROME, May 27.-Archbisnop Walsh
has received instructions to publish in
the Dublin Freeman letter which will
rectify the erroneous views that have
found expression with regard to the
papal reScript.

EU CLAIRE, Wis, May 27.-Register
Koran, of the United States land office,
as result of investigation in the st.
CroiX and La Crosse land Office, has un-
earthed over a thousand old patents,
which had been missing over thirty
years. The Eau Claire land district,
until 1854, formed a portion of the st.
Croix falls, and of the district of La
Crosse. At that time this district was
formed, and new land office opened
here. The proofs made here of entries
which antedated 1854, were sent to
Washington and patents issued, but
when the patents were sent from Wash
ingtOn, they were addressed, it is now
discovered, to the land office where the
entries were recorded, st. Croix
Falls and La Crosse. Parties applied
here in hundreds of instances for their
patents, but the war excitement came
on and the matter was forgotten for
years. Meantime endless transfers
have been made of these lands, to which
the thousand or two original entrymen
had received patents, and to which the
titles have consequently always been
prima facie vitally defective. A pOr-
ton of the old patents cover nearly all
the site OF Eau Claire and Chippewa
Falls. The discovery completes the
chain of title in all these cases. The
old patents, yellow and musty, are
being forwarded to the land Office here,
and wilfbe placed on record. They are
all signed by President Buchanan, and
bear date from 1851 to 1854.

spout broke in northwestern Dawes

of track is submerged on the Elkhorn,
Missouri Valley & Fremont railroad
and number of bridges washed out
There has been no tain from the
north or west for twenty-four hours,
and it is hard to say when there
will be one. 1t has rained
hard since 4 o'clock last night without
stopping and the country is flooded.
Farmers all along the White and Lone
Tree rivers have had to abandon their
houses, and number have been washed
away. White river rose sixteen feet in
forty minutes. The water came down
almost in solid wall. 1t is impossible
to cross White river, as all the highway
bridges are washed out, and it is feared
great damage has been done further
northwest. as the waterspout came from
the northwest. One man, a farmer
named A. j. Sweet, lost
SIXTEEN HEAD OF CATTLE
and five head of horses, the water COM
ing in such wall that it carried the live
stock down with it. Mr.. Sweet came
across the riverin boat, and reports
that terrible damage has been done to
other farms, both in loss of live stock
and crops. The rivers are still rising,
and it is raining hard. No loss of life
has as yet been reported, but it is feared
that after a full report can be obtained
there will be.
The cloud was plainly visible from
here, and it had the ap-
pearance of rolling mass
of black cloud, revolving like
cart wheel, entirely different from cy-
clone cloud. A man by the name of
Anderson was in the extreme southern
limit OF the spout, and he reports the
water coming in a solid wall ten feet
deep, carrying everything possible be-
fore it. Anderson barely escaped with
his life. This section is noted for water
spouts. The last one came three years
years ago and carried the entire rail-
road camp away which was then build
ing the Elkhorn, Missouri Valley d
Fremont railroad.

Lyman Abbott, d. D., accepted the
permanent pastorate of Plymouth
church to-day. At the close of the
morning sermon he said that when he
took the temporary pastorate he had no
idea that he would be called to remain
permanently. The nearly unanimous
action of the church Friday night had
determined him to accept a position
which he, as we'll as all others, knew he
was not completely fitted for. So far
from being surprised that there had
been some opposition to him, he was
surprised that so many should favor
him. He felt that his well-known de-
friendship with Mr.. Beecher were all
that qualified him for the position, and
they alone Influenced him in accepting
the call,

1.-The House to Tackle the Mills

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Congress will
present a variety of business this week,
and it's proceedings will undoubtedly be
full of Vigor. The senate intends to
consider pension bills, the North Da-
kota and other territorial statehood bills
and the fisheries treaty. The Repub-
licans believe that they will succeed in
securing open sessions for the debate
on the fisheries treaty, but it is likely
that the resolution which will be
adopted making this provision will de-
spoil the party of its victory by pro-
vision that upon objection of two sena-
tors at any time when secret matters are
to be spoken of, the doors may be closed.
The house will tomorrow continue
consideration of the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill, and
will likely complete it by Tuesday
evening. When this bill is out of the
way the debate on the Mills tariff bill
will be resumed under the five-minute
rule, and will probably hold the floor
without interruption until the end of
the week. Democratic members say
they ask to have the tariff bill set aside
during next week SO as to permit as
many of their members as wish to at
tend the Democratic national conven-
ton at st. Louis. If this is done, next
week will be occupied with appropria-
ton bills. These bills are
FURTHER BEHIND
now than for many years at this period
of the session. At this time in the first
session of the last congress. nine appro-
priation bills had passed the house.
Now but six have passed that body.
Three had passed the senate, while this
year but two have been disposed of.
Only two regular appropriation bills
have passed both houses during this
congress-the pension and military
of Columbia, Indian and river and
harbor and postOffice appropriation bills
have passed the house and have gone to
the senate. while the legislative, eX-
ecutive and judicial and general appro-
priatiOn bills are now pending in the
house. The following appropriation
bills have not yet been reported to the
house; Sundry, civil, Notifications,
army, navy. agricultural and general
deficiency. Tomorrow night the Dem
ocratic members of the house will hold
| another caucus to further consider the
amendments which have been offered
to the tariff bill. Congressman Mills
does not hesitate to discuss the pros
poets of his tariff bill and, indeed.
rather enjoys the subject. He says the
bill will surely pass the house, and that
several who have been spoken
of as doubtful have assured him of their
support, He expects that amendments
will be accepted. but says he is at
parture from the general principles of
the bill.

THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL.
Numerous Democrats Who Are
Willing to Wear the Ermine.

Special to the Globe.
SHAKoPEE, May 27.-The interesting
political subject here is the judgeship
The Eighth judicial district is over
whelmingly Democratic, and when two
years ago Gov. Hubbard appointed a
Republican (James G. Edson) to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Judge j. L. Macdonald, it was looked
upon by the Democrats, to say the least,
as partisan appointment. Judge Ed
son is a perfect gentleman, yet the
Democrats felt that the governor would
have been more consistent to the princi-
pie of ''non-political Office" if he had
chosen his appOintee out of the tariff
reform party, particularly so when a
number of able men could be
found therein. For these reasons
the Democrats of this district
will make a party nomination this fall,
and their candidates are: Francis Cad
well, of LIE Sueur; William G. Odell,
ChaSka; Eli SOuthworth and 81. j.
Peck, of Shakopee. All four of these
gentlemen are lawyers of prominence,
and each we'll known throughout the
district. The situation at present is as
follows: LIE Sueur county is solid for
Caldwell, Carver county is solid for
Odell. Mcleod, Sibley and Scott have
not held their conventions. The con-
test will be in Mcleod and Sibley coun-
ties, as those counties have no candi-
date on the Democratic side. On the
Republican side the only candidate
spoken of is the present incumbent,
Judge James G. Edison.

has lived over since, and where he
will spend the remainder of his days.
