(IladstOue's Speech.

Gladstone, speaking on Irish fairs in the
house of commons the other day, said the
sentiment of the country is turning tohome
rule, and that the breach between
the people and the government is
growing wider. He scathingly de-
nounced the treatment of Parnellite
prisoners. Speaking Of his address, the
London Telegraph says: THE speech of
Mr.. Gladstone is historical. He was seen
on the warpath at his best. His attack on
the liberal unionists WIS made with ire
mendous force of invective, and the sar-
casm OF a great master. During the speech
Mr.. Chamberlain smiled ncrvously and
glanced curiously ut Mr.. Gladstone. The
peroration was spoken in the character of a
prophet telling of wr tn 10 come with ares
onant voice and flashing eyes and the aged
statesman seemed like another Isaiah cry
ing Woe TO the high places In Jerursalem p
His last words were signs of the coming
doom. He finished his speech amidst a tenn.
pest of cheers.

PoRr TOWNSEND, Wash, Sept. 2i.--A
letter received here by w. J. Jones from
Edward II. Brown, deputy collector ut
Sitka, Alaska, says: The schooner
Sitka has arrived, fifteen days from va
keetal, and reported the schooner Alpha,
Captain Hamill, having on board the
managing owner, jeff J. Kuhn, formerly
special deputy collector. His son and q
crew of Indians had sailed from the
same port one week previous for Sitka.
During that time terrible gales were ex-
perienced and the schooner, with
all hands aboard, is supposed to
be lost. She is now out twenty three
days. The revenue cutter Richard Rush
came into port from Behring sea on the
18th, and on asccrtaining that none of
the seized British schooners had arrived
as ordered, returned TO the sea, intend
ing to go TO Akutat to look for the
Alpha. 1t Is safe TO say the British
sealer in falling into the hands of the
revenue cutter Rush will go to Sitka.
The officers were greatly chagrined ut
the state of affairs.

Had n Set-to In San Francisco Last

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2i.-Tommy
Warren of Los Angeles, Cal, and Frank
Murphy of Birmingham. Eng, fought To
finish ut the rooms of the California
Athletic Club tonight for purse of
$500 and the featherweight Champion
ship. Murphy weighed no pounds; he
was seconded by Martin Murphy and
Patsy Hogan. Warren weighed liS
pounds; his seconds were John Donald
son and Paddy German. Hiram Cook
was referee.
From the first to the tenth round the
men fought warily, Murphy doing most
of the rushing, and getting in numerous
blows while Warren saved himself by
clinching. He seemed a triilc light and
slipped easily when Murphy rushed
him In the third, and ut the beginning
of the eleventh round, Warrens left eye
was swelling from the effect OF the blows
he received while essaying to duck.
Murphy's face was also badly cut. In
the twelfth round Murphy punished
Warren severely and had apparently
finished him, but clinching saved him
tecnth to the twenty eighth round War
rem continued to receive Muir
phys left-handers and rght-hand
uppercuts full in the face with
out any special effort to make
IA return. His method OF stopping the
blows was 10 drop ms head, receiving
them on his left ear and shoulder. lie
received some bad upper cuts in this
way. In fighting, however, he punished
Murphy about the face and ribs easily,
and bore no more, If Us many, marks as
his opponent. At the end of the
eighteenth round he was
thrown as Murphy swung
away after clinch. From tho twenty
third to the twenty sixth Warren gradu-
ally forced the fightingand at the end of
the twenty-sixth Murphy was staggcr-
ing and out of breath. He trcshened
however in the next round but lost
ground and in the twenty.eighth was
really knocked out by rght-hander OH
the ear. At 10 o'clock western time,
tltty-seven rounds had been fought and

PORTLAND PARAGRAPHS.
Opening of the Industrial Fair--Body
FOund In the River.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 25.--Very extern
sive preparations are being made for the
opening of the great industrial fair.
which will take place tomorrow evening
in the magnificent new exposition build
ing. The exhibit promises to be one of
the best ever had on the Pacific coast,
and far exceeding any ever seen north of
San Francisco. Addresses will be made
at the formal opening by Governor PEN
noyer, Mayor Delashmutt and Hon.
George II. Williams. The city Is al
ready full of strangers and immense
crowds are expected during the continu-
ance OF the fair, which will last one
month.
The body of a man was found floating
in the river this morning. From the
appearance of the body ii has been in
the water nearly two weeks and Is de-
composed. A pocKetbook was found in
n pocket which bore the name of James
O'Connor, and is supposed to be the
name of the deceased. Some people
suspicion foul play. On the back of his
head were two large cuts and quite
hole. 1t was thought by some that the
abrasions were caused by his beating
against the piling when the steamers
threw waves ashore. An inquest will be
held tomorrow.
