WASHINGTON, April 9.-Secretary 9.
Window has sustained the action of the
collector of customs at New York in
refusing to allow Swiss immigrant
named l. n. Flag to land; so, as con-
sequence, he will be sent home at the
expense of the vessel which brought
him over. 1t appears that Flaig came
to this country in response to an adver-
ment inserted in Swiss newspaper by
George Baum, of Aroshach. at the in
stance of FL. Bournemann, of the
Newark Embroidering works. The
advertisement called forUtwo en-
broiderers for Newark. saying
that the trade in this country is short of
operatives. 1t was shown that Flaig
paid his own passage money and bad
made no contract with the Newark
company. He, however. brought a let
ter from Mr.. Baum to Mr.. Bournemann
saying that he had engaged him as an
EN- broiderer. He also admitted that he
had made up his mind six months ago
to come to America, and had availed
himself of the present opportunity to
secure work in advance. The collector
held that Flaig was prohibited from
landing by the provisions of the con-
tract labor law.

Boston & Maine Freight Houses
DESTROYED by Fire.


Boston, April 9.-The freight houses
of the Boston & Lowell division of the
Boston & Maine railroad were de-
stroyed early this evening, only por-
ton of the walls remaining. The
structures consisted of three-and-one-
half-story brick building, $50 feet long
by fifty wide, and another Of the
same length, two and one-half stories
high, on Lowell street, the two being
connected by wooden building fifteen
feet long. Between the two main
buildings were five tracks, and the
whole was covered by one large roof.
The fire was discovered about o'clock
among some cotton. The buildings
were filled with an almost indescribable
variety of general merchandise, includ-
ing large amount of oil of vitriol, ETC.,
and the frequent explosions served

here were stored from $4,000 to 10000
bushels of grain, beside large guam

though entirely under control, and will
probably be many hours before the

SPOKANE FALLS. W. T., April g.
There was shooting matinee at F. d.
Hennessy's this afternoon, in which
Hennessy did the shooting and Henry
Hillary was the target. Hennessy had
some clothing stolen from his tailoring
house and was bemoanlng the fact
when Hillary, one of his employees,
suggested that he might take the
trouble to hunt the thief, but Hennessy,
who had been drinking, was not pre-
pared to take advice from his man, so
he whipped out his revolver and took
five or six shots at Hillary, who sat in
chair. Hillary lodged several of the
balls successfully and succeeded in
getting to his feet when one struck him
just above the right hip. He was salts
fed that it had buried itself in his
kidneys and that he was going to die.
He was taken to the hospital, where he
was examined and it was found to be
merely skin wound. He and Hen
messy were both considerably the worse
for liquor, and Hillary still maintains
that he can feel the bullet in his
kidneys and that he is going to die.
though he will likely be up and around
tomorrow. HenneSSy was arrested.

Gen. Sherman Warmly Eulogizes
His Dead Comrade.

ALBANY, n. Y, April 9.-Memorial
exercises were held by the legislature

Martin d. McMahon presided. Among
the prominent persons present were
Gen. William T. Sherman, eX-Gov. Rus
sell A. Alger, of Michigan; Warner Mil
Ter. Gen.N.M. Curtis, and many members
of the legislature. Bishop McNeirney
opened the exercises with prayer, and

the evening. At the conclusion of Gen.
Swayne's address there were calls for
Gen. Sherman, who rose to respond.
Gen. Curtis introduced him with the re-
mark: ''The greatest living general of
the world stands before you." Gen.
Sherman said he did not profess to be
Indifferent to the kindly expressions
of the audience to an old soldier.
He spoke feelingly of his associa-
tions with Gen. Sheridan, saying that
only a few of his comrades were
left to mourn him. He said that Sheri-
dan was born in Albany, but had the
good sense in early life to 60 to Ohio.
The people did themselves honor in
recognizing the fact that Gen. Sheridan
was born in Albany. Gen. Sherman
then referred to his early acquaintance
with Grant and Sheridan and the cause
for which all three fought. He declared
that no stronger or better American
ever lived than Sheridan, and said his
name would always be coupled with
those OF Washington and Grant.

BURLINGTON, April 9.-This morning
dawned on the fifteenth annual en-
campment of the department of Iowa G.
A. Il. in a very diseouraging manner
after an entire night of slow driZZling
rain. The prevalence of rainy weather
over the state for two or three days had
discouraged great many from attend
ing, and the encamDment as Spectac-
ular event looked like fiZZle until late
this afternoon, when the weather be-
came more promising. Delegations
from various places have been arriving
all day long. but in diminished force.
Quite number of state officials
congressman and other public men are
here. During the day reunions have
been held by veterans of the campaigns
of Vicksburg, Shiloh, Gettysburg and
Pleasant Hill, by the members of the
Iowa association of Union eX-prisoners
of war, of the Army of the Potomac,
Wisconsin and Iowa associations, of the
Fifteenth, Twenty-fifth and Forty-ffth

members of the Loyal Legion of the
United States held grand banquet at
the Hotel Duncan, at which Gen. W.

seven well-attended camp fires were
held in different halls and churches.
The grand encampment convenes to-

New York, April 9.-At meeting
of the municipal council of the Irish
National league tonight, John Dewey
submitted the facts concerning his con-
troversy with Patrick Egan. The even
ing Telegram of Wednesday last pub
lished a Washington special, stating
that in an interview Mr.. Egan had
charged Mr.. Dewey with inspiring the
attack upon the genuineneSS of a cable
dispatch describing MIR. Egan'S serv-
ices in unmasking Pjgott, and had called
MIR. Dewey traitor. Mr.. Dewey tel
egraphed Mr.. Egan that unless the state
ments were repudiated he would hold
Mr. Egan personally responsible, and
take steps to vindicate his character.
Dispatches were also sent to the presi-
dent and the secretary OF state, COM
planning of Mr.. Egan's conduct. Mr..
Egan replied that he had not given any
Interview about Mr.. Dewey to any paper,
but he had no hesitation in expressing
his belief that Mr.. Dewey was the au-
thor of the untruthful attack upon him.
Mr.. Dewey rejOiued that Me-. Egan's ut
terances, not his opinions, were in ques-
ton, and demanded public denial of,
or apology for the use of the word
TRAITOR" Mr. Egan replied that what
ever his private opinions might
be. he had not used the word
lieved he could exact anything further,
he could go to law. Further CORE
spondence was declined. Mir. Dewey
responded that he had solicited no cor
respondence. To decline it was, there
fore, an impertinence. He had de-
manded public contradiction of a foul
SANDER. As Mr.. Egan had in the
sneaking and cowardly way that charac-
teriZed him insinuated the same Slander
before, there was reason to believe that
he was correctly reported. Mr.. Egan's
first letter was shutting evasion, his
second was Self-eVident lie, and con-
veyed an insult in form no one but a
cur would select. Mr.. Egan dared not
publicly contradict the report lest he be
proved a liar. To this Mr.. Egan has
not replied. Mr.. Devoy threatens to
rake up Mr.. Egan's character, and make
things unpleasant for the administra-
tiOn generally. unless public apology
is made. He introduced a resolution
that
Whereas, Charges of treachery had
been made, purpOrting to come from
prominent members of the league. and
were calculated to create diStruSt and
suspicion;
Resolved, That the interests of the
cause demand an investigation; and
that we ask that committee, whose
character shall be a guarantee of i'm
partiality, be appointed by Mr.. ParneIl
to investigate the charges and the con-
dition of the national movement in
America generally; and. in our belief,
the judgment of such a committee
would be accepted by the whole irish
race, and would place the national
movement in better position than ii
has ever occupied before"
Mr.. Dewey, j. P. Ryan and R. j. Ken,
nedy supported the resolution. and il
was adopted unanimously. Copies will
be sent to Mr.. Parnell and to President

Own Career

LONDON, April ga short time ago
Goldsmith Hunt, a relative of Lady
Scott, engaged rooms for himself and
his mistress, noted soubrette actress
named Marie de Braham, in a house on
Mansfield Road. The couple appeared
to be on the best of terms with one an

relied, the dispute ending in Hunts
shooting the woman and himself dead.
The affair has created tremendous
ensation, but the police are trying to

nence of the families with which Hunt
was connected. Hunt was wealthy
and accomplished and married to a
charming woman, but for several years
he has been very dissolute and his
family relations became strained.

HURON, S. D., April 9.-Of the 100
men called, twelve were found who
were considered competent jurors in
the Flaherty murder case, and the trial
began this afternoon. William B.
Sterling, district attorney, and George
C. Cooper. were the attorneys for the
prosecution, and nearly twice as many
for the defendant. Flaherty took little
interest in the proceedings till May
Munson, keeper of the house in which
he killed Hattie Wilson, was called to
the witness stand. Her testimony was
given graphically and she spoke so
clearly that she was heard in all parts
of the house. The court room was
crowded, but was as still as death.
Flaberty smiled frequently during Miss
Munson's recital of the story. Three
other witnesses were examined, all tell
ing substantially the same story, and
although subjected to the closest cross
examination did not waver from the
first statements. Flaherty's only rela-
tive here is a younger brother, who
listens attentively and takes great III
tereSt in all that is going on.

THE SAMOAN AGREEMENT.
No Vessels to Be Sent Till After
the Conference.

the Conference.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-State depart
ment officials were very reticent to-day
when asked about the truth or falsity
of the report that an agreement had
been reached between Germany and the
United States that no war vessels are to
be sent to Samoa until after the result
of the Berlin conference is announced.
There is little doubt, however, that both
governments are already committed to
such an agreement. 1t is understood
that the proposition to leave Samoan
waters unguarded by Germany and the
United States, and just as they were
after the typhoon had wrecked and dis
abled the vessels of both governments,
came originally from Prince Bismarck,
ana he was promptly met halfway by
our government, and that the PROPOSE
ton was accepted. This will leave
matters in statu quo, and the British
government alone to police those waters
and look out for German, American and
British interests until the Berlin con-
ference settles Samoan affairs on new
basis.
