CoIlapse of sulIivsn's CIRCUS.

BOSTON. July 2s.-JOhn L. Sullivan's circus
has come to an end, leaving. it is said, a large
number OF unpaid employees. A detaehment of
police guarded what was left Of the property,
from wreaking their vengeance upon it. Mr..
Holmes, the owner of the property, is here. He
is quoted as saying that he received q letter
from his lawyer. a day or two ago, advising
him to come here If he wished to save any of
his goods. When he arrived he found that the
employees, twenty-six in number. had received
no pay in two weeks, and that some of them
had waited still longer. They. Of course. had no
claim against the property. and where Sullivan
and Gray were he did not know. They cleared

Charges Against Parneil.

LONDON. July 2s-The Liberals and Parnell-
ties held a consultation in the House of Cory
mons. yesterday evening, concerning the chars-
es and counter-charees made by the Times and
Mr.. Parnell. Many OF those present expressed
their belief that the bringing OF an action for
libel by Dir. Parnell against the Times would be
preferable to his Investigation by "A
commission authorized by the present
shape of the bill for that purpose, and
declared that the action would be the simplest
way to solve the difficulty. Mr.. Morley, upon
whose advice Mr.. Psrnell implicitly relies.
urged the Irish leader to cast his lot upon she
outcome of . suit, unless the government shall
limit the scope of of the commissioners inquiry
to specific charges, and instrucs the investicat-
ing body to make the letters the primary issue.
All agreed that Mr. Psrnell would be better of
before q jury than he would before a commits
sion authorized by the bill as it now stands.

Cleveland and the Irish Vote.


TO the Editor Of the Indianapolis journal.
On Feb. 1, 1857, Col. Henry Watterson wrote
from Washington to the Courier-Journal. tell

and supply their places with ''mumpers ard
Diegers' Watterson says: Its lilliput politics;

lican party, and the Presidents dickering will

will cost US five hundred thousand
can votes In 1883"
Now il is a fact that Cleveland himself
has been the gstter-up Of the scheme wnlcn
eliminated In the late coiored convention
held in this city. Let any man rend Mr. wat

truth will become apparent in a moment Inc

But what kind of a thing is that Cleveland

compact every man, woman and child leaving
the shores Of Ireland could be taken back again
for trial for any OF the following charges: For
1.-THE killing OF a grouse, a hare, o salmon; or for
the tearing Of q brass button out Of q peeler's

Even "a reasonable suspicion" is made an ex-
traditable offsnse. Well might Watferson
denounce that infamous scheme as "a disgrace

might the Kentucky editor say that, at ought

IL Is possible that Irish-Americans may still
be found so hide bound as to support Cleveland

General HARRISON. Care for the Soldier.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal.
will here give an instance that occurred in
the United States Senate. At the opening of
the Forty-sevensh Congress l sent up a petition
praying for increase of pension for an invalid
pensioner who was very poor and very helpless,
aud the bill, when il went before the Senate
committee on pensions. was objected to by a
Democratic Senator and came to . halt; OF
which fact | was Immediately notified by Sena-
tor Harrison. and in his correspondence also
stated that he had been twice before that com
mittee and would 60 again. and so he did. and
succeeded in having the claim increased from 50
per month TO $50 per month. And still, fsrsooth,
''he is no friend of the poor man."

The Sioux Reservation To Be Opened.

CHICAGO. July 28.-The opening Of the great
SiGNx r. servation in Dakots, ~, 600 square miles
In extent, Notwithstanding apparent opposition,
so far. is an absolute certainty according TO q
letter from Pierre. published here to-day. The
letter says: Ever since this portion of this
Territory has been inhabited il has been a recog-
nized fact that the greatest bar to the develop
ment OF the Missouri valley existed In the In
which prevented direct intercourse with
Black Hills and was intact from
settlement by white people. who might other
wise have opened up q country tributary
to the older settled portions east OF the river.
The land to be opened under the treaty is all
that body lying west of the Missouri river,
bounded on the north by the Cheyenne river
and on the west by the White, extending to tho
confluence to these streams in the extreme
northern edge Of Nebraska; including, also, a
small tract of land east of the Missouri river.
known as the Winnebago and Grow Creek reser-
~vations, situated in Hughes. Hyde and Buffalo
counties. The tract to be opened contains "a.
miles. Under the terms of the bill the
treaty is to be ratified By three
fourths OF the male adults of the
Sioux nation, including half, quarter and eighth
breeds. In order to obtain the consent of the
requisite mum Der of Indians. five agencies are to
be visited by the commission now az work. Only
TWO of these agencies are In the coveted land. and
therefore only one thousand Indians who will be
subject to actual removal will have to be per-
suaded to sign. The others are now south Of
White river, the southern bouudry OF the land
to be thrown open, and SO will not have to be
removed, hence the opposition to the measure
here will be slight. as they gain part of the
purchase money for the sale of the
coded lands, while they %relinquish none
Of their own. There will be no opposition from
the agents. for it is expressly provided the agent
is secure in his position, no matter If the Indians
under his control have to be removed. For
him 1.-THE agent) it simply means q change Of
base. And the only agents who can be thus
affected are McChesney, of Cheyenne. and An
derson. of Lower Brule. both small agencies.
Therefore the Impression that the Indian agents
are all opposed to the ratification OF
the treaty from selfish motives. or
from fear Of permanent loss OF
their positions, is cleary erroneous. As to the
length of time that will be occupied iu closing
up the work of the commission, the bill provides
that the Presidents proclamation shall issue one
year from the appointment of the commission,
but it is altogether likely that that body will
have secured the necessary number Of sigma
lures, and that the proclamation will be issued
within four months from this date"
