RiOting In Ireland Growing Out of the Hold

epecfa1 TO the indianapolis journal
LONDON, April 8.-The Parnellites have won
q victory in ireland. It was not very brilliant
victory, but it was significant one. for, besides
proving the untruth OF Mr.. Balfour's boast that
the National League was dead-letter in the
suppressed districts Of ireland, where govern
ment oppression has been strongest. it has
shown I. the brave, unconquerable leaders OF
the Irish party that the heart of their country
is yet strong and that it beats with firm pulsa-
tion, still trusting to their guidance. The meet
ings of the League that were held to-day at sew
eral places wers in the districts where Mr..
Balfour told the governments that he has sue
cessfully suppressed the League. and that il
would not be possible for the Nationalists to
again address the people there in the name Of
the League. That this was mere boast the
meetings of to-day clearly demonstrated. They
were not only we'll attended, but Messrs. O'Brien,
Davitt, John O'Connor and others spoke to the
assembled crowds. The extraordinary prepara-
tions which the police had made prevented, OF
course, any lengthy proceedings or anything like
speeches. but the mere fact that the League had
the power to draw large crowds together
in spite of the consequences that might result
was in itself a victory. The police, acting under
orders recently given, made the most deter
mined efforts to break MP the meetings. and
made savage charges upon the people. Blood
she'd was only averted BY the noble conduct of
the priests who stood between the people and
the constables and advised the former to dis
perse quietly The leaders, much to their own
and every body else's surprise, were not
rested Wm. OBrien openly defed the police,
and dared them to arrest him. as did also the
other speakers. But the government to-day
appeared determined to avoid making any more
Irish martyrs, as martyrdom has been exceed
ingly popular in Ireland of late. and has done
the government good in the eyes of the En-
RIish electors.

An Annoying Experience TO Which Republi

An Annoying Experience TO Which Republic
am Senators Have Been Subjected.
Washington Special
Several Republican Senators have been great
ly annoyed lately by the discovery that much of
the mail matter which they have sent under
their frank to constituents has been tampered
with. and much of it has never been delivered.
From private investigations which they have
made they have arrived at the conclusion that
the so-caled campaign documents. consisting of
fnede.les. reports and other frankable congress
ionai publications are subjected to the espionage
of the postal authorities. In several instances
very important matter addressed to the officers
of local clubs has failed altogether to reach it's
destination.
One Senator mailed such a package on March
Ia, but so far as heard from it has not YET been
received. This same Senator has also had
speech 8 returned to him frequently marked
insufficient address, when in the very nature
of things there could have been no reason why
they should not have been forwarded. For in
stance all the speeches which he has sent out
were tied up IN packages of ten, fastened with
strong cord IN such q manner that it would be
impossible for them to fall out The two out
side speeches of the package were plainly ad-
dressed. and the eight inside simply
franked, yet two or three speeches out OF each
package were returned marked insufficient ad
dress" The query is. what became OF the
mainder of the speeches which were marked
exactly as were the ones returned2
This Senator consulted with some of his coll
leagues on the subject, and 1t was then learned
that each had been repeatedly subjected TO the
same annoyance. and IN each case the documents
that failed to be forwarded were those of a
political nature and important to Republicans
as campaign literature. The Senators talked lthe
matter over among themselves. and came to the
conclusion that for political purposes the postal
officials or other parties interested are carefully
sitting the public documents mailed bp Re-
publican Congressman. If they are right they

Probability that Judge John scholfeid May
be Nomin ated by the President.
Special to Cincinnati Enquirer
Illinois men who appear to be we'll fortified
with inside information express great confidence
that Judge John Schofeld, one of the justices
of the Supreme Court Of Illinois. will be nomi-
mated by the President for Chief justice OF the
Supreme Court of the United States. There is
undoubtedly great influence in his favor. and
there is no question that the President has had
him under consideration for this and other places
for good while. The best information is that
Judge Scholfeld was on the list for the vacany
caused by the death OF Justice Woods, and it il
said that the only thing that prevented his ap-
pointment then was the pressure for dis
tinctive Southern man. resulting in
the appointment of Lamar. Afrerward
the President rendered Scholheld q

OF Judge Treat, but SIS he had better place al
ready he declined. Upon ths death Of Waite

ticeship Upon learning this ho wrote to the
President saying that he was not o candidate
for the position, and be did not want the partial

candidate for reelection to the place he now
has, The very latest news is that the President
has written letter to Judge Scholheid asking
TO be a candidate. OF course. such letter
must be looked upon equivalent to offer
to nominate him. This letter Is said 10 be on
the way 10 Illinois now.
Wm. R. Morrison and others influential with
