Protests Against Confirmation-How the APP

Protests Against Confirmation-Howt the APP
pointment Came to be Made.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The Senators
are receiving good many protests against
the confirmation of Patrick Egan. Senator
Cullom received one from Frank Collier
this morning was mistaken when said
that Mr.. Patrick Egan was a banker in
Ireland; he was miller. A member of the
Nebraska delegation this afternoon gave
me the history of Egan's appointment.
Said he: Immediately after the election
Pat Ford, Alexander Sullivan and other
Irish-American leaders made a demand
upon the President for the appointment of
Patrick Egan to some conspicuous place.
They claimed that no Irish-American had
done so much or suffered SO much for Irish
liberty as Patrick Egan. and that he had
been thoroughly identified with the Re-
publican party ever since he came to the
United States. Although he had not been
in this country a great while and had
never taken out his second naturalization
papers, he was enough of citizen TO repre-
sent Nebraska in the national convention.
to be proposed for the chairmanship of
that convention, and to second the n0mina-
tion of General Alger. They said, too, that
Mr.. Egan was willing to be credited to the
any question as to his residence was raised
by the Nebraska delegation. With the
understanding that he should not be
charged to that State, and that he should
not be appointed as citizen of Nebraska,
the delegation agreed to present his name,
which they did, not as representative of
Nebraska, but as q representative of the
Irish-Ameriean Republicans"

States9"
iZen, and took out his first papers few
months before the Chicago convention. in
order to be a delegate in that convention"
lis it true that he has been excommuni-
Gated from the Catholic Churchin
while he has not been formally excom-
municated, he could hardly be considered a
member in good standing. In the first
place, he had a row with Bishop Bonacum,
who started. couple of years ago, to raise
funds to build a church. Egan made sub
scription, and, for some reason, refused or
neglected to pay it. The Bishop publicly
denounced him. Then, when the Pope sat
down on the land-leaguers Egan, of course,
held that his allegiance TO the league was
higher than his allegiance to the church."
''Is it true that Egan is very poor many"
II understand that he sacrificed every
thing to the cause of Irish liberty, and that
his expenses usually have been paid by
John Fitzgerald. of Nebraska. one of the
wealthiest citizens of that State, and a
prominent land-leaguer. You know that
Egan is regarded bv the Irish-Americans as
being next to, if not equal with, st. Pat
rick and the President could not have
made an appointment that would have had
greater effect upon the Irish vote. Among
those who unsolicited, indorsed Egan. was
the Most Rev. DR.. Ryan, of Philadelphia.

EXCITING COURT SCENE,
Which Terminates in the Arrest of ". A.
Pinkerton and Release of Prisoner.

CHICAGO, March 2S-William A. Pinker-
ton was the chief participant in an exciting
courtroom melee this afternoon, and as
result is now under bonds. The trouble
arose over an attempt to escape by an IL
legally arrested prisoner of the Pinkertons.
Edward Zeisler, the prisoner. was afteward
set at liberty by Judge Altgeld on writ
of habeas corpus. Zeisler has an Office In
Washington street, and does business as
the European Bond Company" He was
charged by the Pinkerton's with being
fugitive from justice from the State of
Pennsylvania. Superintendent Robertson,
of the Pinkert0ns, got out warrant and
himself made the arrest, instead of utiliz-
ing regular officer.
"Where's the return on this warrantp
asked Justice Brayton when the prisoner
was arrai ign ed.
II put it on the back" said Superintend-
ent Robertson.
Il see," said the court, slowly, "but did
not deputize you to serve the warrant"
us that so!" exclaimed Robertson; II
Thought you did"
Then Pm not legally arrestedp asked
Zeisler in excitement.
NO" responded the court.
Zelsier made jump for the door A con-
stable was there before him and barred it.
Zeisler rushed into the ante-ro0m and made
Tor the other door leading to the stairway.
Court was still in session, and the utmost
confusion ensued. RObertson's superior,
VIM. A. Pipkerton, made rush for Zeis-
ler. The latterS son, a muscular young
fellow, grabbed Pinkerton by the throat
and chOked him until his tongue pIOtruded.
Three or four other friends of Zeisler made
for the door and attempted to clear away
by rush the half dozen constables who
blocked their passage. The rush was sue
cessful and Zeisler the elder got
out into the hallway. At this mo-
ment Pinkerton pulled away from young
Zeisler and with heavy blow struck the
latter in the face knocking him down.
Then. grabbing the warrant from the
courts dest, Pinkerton broke through the
scrambling throng and, reaching the war
rant over the heads of the crowd, shouted
to a constable with whom he was acquaint-
ed: Serve this warrant, quick! Don't let
him get away" The constable seized the
warrant and, showing it under Zeisler's
nose, mumbled few words, and Zeisler
had to submit to arrest. When measure
of quiet was restored a warrant was issued
to Young Zeisler, charging PinkertOn with
assault. The detective was at once arrest
ed He promptly gave bonds for his APP
pearance. This was followed up by the
younger Zeisler petitioning Judge Alt
geld in the fathers behalf. After hear
ing the judge ordered the prisoners re-
lease on the grounds that a case had not
been made sufficient TO hold him under the
laws of Illinois. Zeisler is said to be want
ed at Scranton, Pa, on a charge of embez-
element. He claims to be innocent.
