GLADSTONE'S EXCUSES.
He Will Not Enter Personally Into
the Conflict With the Liberals.

LONDON, April 2O..-At a Liberal
meeting at Rossendale this evening a
letter was read from Mr.. Gladstone
apologizing for his inability to attend,
and saying: 1.-The seventy dissidents
led by Lord Harrington have done more
for the cause of coercion and misgov-
eminent in Ireland than seventy Tories
could have done. The upshot is that
the government denies to Ireland even
the gift of local government in the mar
roweSt sense until lriShmen abandon
their aspirations, which even Lord
Carnarvora, Tory, declared himself per-
Suaded to satisfy tOa reasonable extent.
But in one important particular l desire
to initiate Lord artington-namely,
in abstaining from any act
needlessly tending to infuse personal
bitterness in an already painful strug-
gle. ! should feel myself open to re-
conflict with one whom / have known
and respected so long. | therefore eX-
cuse myself" John Morley, addressing
the Rosendale meeting, said that RoSen-
dale was more responsible than any
other constituency for the harsh appli-
cation OF harsh law in Ireland. Its
opponents said the Liberal party was
dead, but its ghost seemed very restless.
1t suited Mr.. Chamberlain to sail under
new flag, but he Morley) failed to see
why the old Liberal ship should be
broken up for firewood. The fact was
that all the talk about the breaking up
of the party was moonshine, and their
opponents knew it. The local govern
eminent bill, he said, had caused a
deep divergence in the SO-called Union
list cOnfederacy.

THE BREW ERS.
Situation of the Strike in New
York and Other Places.

DIX anu OCler RACES.
New YORK, April 20.-The state
board of arbitration will decide to-day
whether they shall commence an inves-
tigation of the cause of the brewers
lock- out. The Brewers association
have peremptorily declined to treat
with them as arbitrator.
CINCINNATI, April 2O.-The strike of
the brewers is not making Roadway. A
large number of skilled workmen have
already been imported, and none of
the brewers have been COM
PEELED to close. Some of them
have all the men they need and the boss
brewers say that after to-day they will
not re-employ strikers. One brewery,
Herancourt's, has not joined the others,
but it is said it will unite as soon as its
president returns. About 700 men have
stopped work.
CLEVELAND, O., April 2O.-It is prob
able that brewers will strike here Sat-
urday. A committee of the Brewers
union yesterday called on the owners of
all the breweries with the yearly con-
tract. Without single exception they
refused to sign it. The men threaten
to strike and it is probable that they
will go out on Saturday, though they
may defer action until May /, when the
contracts expire.

VERY SIMPLE SERVICES.
Obsequies Of Mr.. COnkling at New
York and the Trip to Utica.


New YORK, April 20.-Funeral ser
vices we're held this morning in Trinity
chapel over the remains of Roscoe COnk-
ling. From early morning, dropping
rain-sodden flags hung at half-mast on
the city hall and numerous public build
ings, as well as private, reminded the
citizens of the metropolis that New
York was to bid farewell to-day to all
that remained of the distinguished
statesman and jurist whose presence
here had been so welcome to
the citizens. After leaving the
church the route of the funeral cor
tege lay through Twenty-fifth street to
Fifth avenue to Forty-fourth street,
and thence to the depot. A train of six
Wagner palace cars stood in waiting
alongside the western platform. At II
o'clock the procession reached the
Grand Central depot. The first car
riages contained the family and init
mate friends. In the other carriage
were the senatorial, congressional and
assembly delegations and the delega-
ton of citizens from Utica. The caSket
was placed in the buffet car, which was
Secretary Fairchild was the bearer of
warm verbal messages of sympathy and
coincidence to Mrs. COnkling from Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland.
THE ARRIVAL AT UTICA.
UTICA, N. Y, April 20.-The special
train bearing the remains of Roscoe
Conkling arrived in this city at 6:45 this
evening. A large cOncoUrse of people
had assembled in the vicinity of the de-
pot. The weather was pleasant. The
casket was transferred from the funeral
car to the hearse, and it and five car
riages made up simple procession to
the family residence on Rutger street.
At the house the casket was opened and
the remains were viewed by few init
mate friends of the family. The funeral
will take place tomorrow at 2 p. m. in
the Calvary Protestant Episcopal
church, Rev. A. B. Goodrich, d. d.,
officiating. The city is profusely dec
grated with mourning emblems, and the
sentiment of sorrow is as sincere as it is
general. All business places will be
closed during the funeral. The city is
filling up with prominent people from
abroad. At the residence this evening
detail from the Twenty-eighth Separ-
ate company, Capt. Joseph III. Remmer,
acted as guard of honor. President
Cleveland has sent box of rare and
beautiful flowers from the White house
conservatory.

CLEVELAND, o., April 20.-"Rev."
Robert M. Neill, an alleged Presby-
rerian minister, was arrested at Hayes
vile, Ashland county, to-day, on
charge of adultery. A woman with
whom he has been living as husband,
was also taken into custody on the
same charge. At the last meeting of
the Cleveland presbytrey Rev. DR..
Bushnell told of the crooked work of
reverend" hypocrite named Rob-
ert Moffett Neill He told how
Neill played a singular confidence
game on him, getting pay for
one Sundays preaching in advance
from the StreetSbOrO church, and then
getting DR.. Bushnell to do the preach
ing, representing that the church would
pay him. Neill was denounced at the
time as an impoSter and committee was
appointed to investigate his claims to
the ministry. This man Neil, who is
alleged to be widower, preached sew
ton, 10. There he became acquainted
with a young married couple, and, it is
asserted, deliberately went to work to
ALLEVIATE the affections of the young wife
He and she are said to have left the
town together and to have gone to an
other place. The fOster-father of the
erring woman, a Mr.. Marsh, persuaded
her to return to her husband. The per-
fdious priest bided his time. Some time
ago he came to this city and
obtained from the foreman a
situation as copy holder in the
Plain Dealer proof room. He told
many stories, all tending to impress the
listeners with the Rev. Robert NeilFs
mighty Importance and ability to shed
lustergon all with whom he came in con-
tact. He pretended to be a Presbyterian
minister with literary incIinations and
said he once held a responsible position
on the Chicago Inter Ocean. 1t
was soon discovered that the man was a
stupenduous liar, and a short time ago
he was discharged for dishOnorable
conduct. The friends of the woman
with whom he was living put his case
into the hands of a detective, and the
pair were traced from this city to Hayes
vile, a small hamlet near Ashland,
where Neill and the guilty woman were
arrested to-day on the charge of

A GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
The Grasshopper Promises to do
Much Damage Near Perham.

The Grasshopper Promises to do
Much Damage Near Perham.
Special to the Globe.
PERHAM, Mimi, April 20.-The grass
hopper scare of last autumn promises
to be repeated this year with large adj
ditiOns. On the prairie surrounding
this village few crops were left
for the farmers to harvest last fall, and
it is feared that the eggs which were de-
posted at that time will bring forth
more 'hoppers in 1888 than have been
seen since the old ''grasshOpper days"
of 1878. Three years ago lew
were seen on vacant land near
the village. In 1856 they had in
creased enough to cover two or three
acres. The ratio of increase continued,
and 5000 acres were covered by them IN
1887. 1t is, therefore, a reasonable
fear that looks forward to the devasta-
ton of hundreds of thousands OF acres
in 1888. A great many grasshoppers
have already Matched out this spring: or
late last fall, and are to be seen hopping
about now that the snow is gone, and
many of those who weathered the
1878 plague say this was precisely
the state of things that preceded that.
On the other hand, some OF the OLD resi-
dents assert that the eggs were de-
posted so early last fall that the grass
hoppers will all have Matched out and
taken wings before the 1888 crops are
big enough for them to feed on. Be-
tween these two opinions the village
and neighbOring farmers are divided,
and wait with a great deal of anxiety
for the developments of the sum
mer. There is no question that
the 'hoppers are the genuine
gregarious, migratory, predatory and
demOniac kind that raised perditlOn
here ten years ago, and not the ordinary
field grasshopper. The differences are
so marked that anybody who has had a
chance to compare the two species can
never mis- take one for the other.

BERLIN, April 21.-A dispatch from
Charlottenburg at midnight says the
emperor'S condition is again critical.
He sleeps, but is feverish and breathes
heavily. The canula is constantly be-
coming INSTRUCTED, and is sometimes
changed at three-minute intervals. 1t
has been decided by the doctors to
issue bulletins at 8 o'clock in
the morning and at 9 in the
evening. Drs. Mackenzie and Wegner
will watch by the bedside of the
emperor by day and Drs. Krause and
Hovel by night. The emperor's physi-
clans have requested that fewer visitors
be admitted to the sick chamber.
NIT IS stated that the emperor
is worse than the last bulletin init
mated, but that there is no immediate
danger. The conflicting reports as to
the presence of py@mia are due to the
different uses of the word in Germany
and England. In Germany the term is
applied only to the SevereSt types of the
disease, while in England it is applied
also to the milder form.
ANOTHER REPORT.
BERLIN, April 2O.-The last twenty
four hours have revealed the eXtraordi-
nary strength of the emperor's consti-
tuition. The patient has made such
progress that hopes for his recovery are
entertained if no unfavorable symptoms
develop. The doctors are reserved, but
they admit that he has improved in a
manner which they had not dared to
hope for. The canula needs frequent
cleansing. When the passages are
violent fit of coughing. The emperor's
temperature is now tested in the mouth
instead of under the arm. To-day he
ate some solid food. There is no founda-
ton for the rumor that cancer has been
discovered, or that new assesses are
forming.

WINNIPEG, Man., April 20.-Corre-
spondence with respect to the Ottawa
delegation was brought down in the
Manitoba legislature at $50 p. m. to-
day. Sir John MacDonald's letter to
Premier GreenWaY, which has been the
topic of conjecture in the province for
some time, reads as follows:
To Hon. Thomas Greenway-Dear Sir:
AS you are obliged to leave Ottawa
soon, l take this opportunity of saying
that there is good prospect of legislation
by the Federal parliament during this
session, which will almost, if not en-
tirely, remove the reasons for the eXer-
else of power of diSallowance of your
railways. Meanwhile, l would remind
you that the policy which has been pur-
sued in the past has, as stated by Sir
Charles Upper and the minister of the
interior, been assumed to be
temporary one; justified, in the first
place. by the necessity of secur-
ing the construction of an all rail
route through the Canadian territory;
and, in the second place, of protecting
the Canadian Pacific railway for a
reasonable period, and until the traffic
of the railway company will make large
expenditures to enable it to handle this
increased traffic. The administration
will not advise disallowance of a bill
similar in principle to the act for the
construction of the Red River Valley
railway. The resources of Manitoba
and the territories had been sufficiently
developed. The great and unexpected
harvest of last season, and the increased
area proposed to be sown this year,
prove that additional facilities for trans
port eastward of the agricultural
products of the Northwest will be re-
quired. Should the Canadian Pacific
branch railway to Emerson be
bought or leased by Manitoba. no legiS-
lation will, suppose, be required
The document means that ManitObians
can have the right to construct roads
connecting with the International bound
airy, in fact gives Manitoba all that she
has been contending for these many
years. 1t is reported here that as re-
suit of the many conferences between
President Sutherland and members of
the Ottawa government the latter have
decided to grant a handsome money
su bsidy of some thousands of dollars
per mile to the Winnipeg & Hudson
Bay railway. Stewart Upper, solicitor
for the company, is now on his way to
Ottawa to assist in drawing up the
agreements. 1t is hoped that the COM
pany will be in position to let con-
tracts for the prosecution of the work
on large and vigorous scale during the
coming summer.

A Report that Merriam and McGiH
Will Combine to Destroy Schef.

fer.
The spectators on political events
are bordering over what an alliance be-
tween McGill and Merriam against
Scheffer would amount to. Such COM
bination is not impossible, in view of the
inroads that Scheffer is said to be max
ing upon the strength of both of them.
Up to the present writing it looks as if
the McGill men had everything their
own way and that to defeat their candi-
date is an impOSSibility. But if the Re-
publican convention is not held until
September, there may be a change for
the worse in the governors situation.
He might find it convenient then to ac-
cept Merriam's strength with the pledge
that he would do all that he could to
make the latter United States senator
course, rupture of the present friendly
relations between Merriam and Sabin.
If a showdown were to be had to-day
of Merriam's strength it probably would
net amount to much. His most effect
i've and telling work will undoubtedly
be performed on the delegations after
they are selected in the different coun-
ties. How dangerous his strength is to
McGill or Schetfer will not be safe to
predict until the delegates are in st.
Paul. With all the sneering that is be-
ing done at Scheffer, it is asserted by
those who ought 10 know that now he
has more strength than Merriam. Should
the Republican state convention be held
very soon after the presidential conven-
ton, nothing seemingly can prevent
McGill's nomination. The influence he
has through the offices he controls, the
interests of the men who occupy them,
the faultless construction of the machine
over which Loren Fletcher is the mas
ter-mind are all circumstances that are
inperatively demanding and enforcing
McGill's claim. Merriam may find it
profitable himself to make overtures for
an alliance. If he does not, his dash in
in state politics will have been short
and inglOriOuS.

cations and the Way the Wind
Is Blowing.
Hon. FL. ]. Peck, of Shakopee, said
this week that there was no doubt but
that McGill would have the Scott county
delegation for him. From Carver county
there comes report that the sentiment
for McGill is strong there. Both of
these counties are strong German cOun-
ties, and in Carver, at least, 1T was sup
posed that Scheffer would have every
thing his own way. Mr.. Peck said also
that if Scheffer carried the Ramsey
county delegation he did not believe
that he could be beaten for the nOmina-
ton. Advices from Washington county
state that outside of the Germans
McGill has the county solid and
that even if Sabin came home
and interfered, he could not carry it
against him. 1t is settled that the Nor
man county delegation will be McGill.
To all apparent purposes Blue Earth
has determined to support Merriam.
This is surprising since it Is the baili-
wick of J. A. James and Eli Warner,
and defeat of McGill means the rub
bling of mud into them. Olmsted county
is now marked as solid for McGlll, while
i'll StearnS county, Collins, Searle CT al.
are receiving the credit of having laid
! the McGilI pins safely. Since 1t is said
| that Lind will not interfere in the home
canvasses and convention, Brown county
goes into the Scheffer column. But Col.
Bobleter is to be heard from. GoOdhue
county is very uncertain. McGilfs re-
form school rumpus hurt him there, and
the prophesiers say that Merriam will
have the delegation.
Said warm, personal friend or
Senator A. j. Whiteman, OF Duluth:
Senator Whiteman's desire, am very
sure, is not to be the nominee for con-
gress on the Democratic ticket in the
Fifth district. He realizes that the
fight will be an uphill one and, with
any kind of decent generalship on the
! part of the Republicans, fruitless. OF
course, if the party calls him he's
there, and won't finch; but am well
assured that a nomination for the lieu
tenant gOvernOrship by the Democratic
state convention, would be very much
| more in the line of his personal inclina-
| tiOns. As such nominee he would have
very much more than fighting chance,
for even the Republicans cOncede that
! the odds are against them this year.
