the Authorities.
CoLyAx, Wash, Dec. 17,-There Is no
truth in the sensational reports that
were circulated in Spokane Falls and
elsewhere, stating that masked men
were parading the streets OF Colfax, and
making preparations to take Ben Blan-
ton, the murderer of Click, from the
county Jail and lynch him. While pub
lie indignation ran high, a sentiment of
respect for the law controlled the actions
of the people.
lfany steps have been taken in the
direction of mob law, they have been
most clandestine, and have been well
guarded from the general public.
Blanton is safely lodged In Jail here,
and is well guarded by the county off.
GERS, who entertain little apprehension
of an attack by mob. He Is sullen and
reticent, and has little to say about his
terrible crime. His preliminary trial
has been set for next week.
The murder still continues tho general
topic of conversation, and has thrown
the Russell murder trial in the shade.

GR0ANS AND CHEERS
Ireland Is Patient, but She
Is Not Subdued.
HOPING FOR A BETTER DAY
And Trusting in the Cheering
Promises of Gladstone and
the Liberals.

LONDON, Dec. 17.-Parnell, who was to
reply to a speech made by Lord sails.
bury nt conservative meeting In
Nottingham, arrived in that city to-day.
A great crowd at the station greeted him
with mingled groans and cheers.
Parncll addressed large meeting this
afternoon. He declared there had never
been movement of such magnitude i'm
the country which was so comparatively
free from crime as the land league move.
mcnt Tho object of the aome rulo
movement was to separate Ireland, par
ticularly with regard to the industrial
condition.
Balfour's plan of making RAILWAYS
through the Impoverished districts was
a vain expenditure. Home rule aimed
at national regeneration. This implied
regeneration of Industries and the in.
dustrial and commercial spirit of the
people.
If horne rule was granted it would not
discourage rich people of England from
promoting industrial developments, but
money would be judiciously and advan-
tageously employed, instead OF being
wasted, as now, to maintain in power a
government of fraud and trickery. An ex-
penditure of that sort would enable Ire
land to get and to keep her head above
water, and so exercise and develop the
qualities of the people that she would be
no longer an exhibition for wonder and
scorn of the nations of the world.
ANOTHER SPEECH.
Parnell also delivered q speech to.
night, to the tenants league. He said
this was by far the greatest and most
powerful peaceful movement ever organ
lied in Ireland, or any other country.
Although, Ireland was tranquil, she was
not appeased. She did not submit. On
the contrary, the peoples dislike of
the government was ten-fold more in
tense for the experiences of three years
of coercion, but the country through it
did not yield, was tranquil because of
the faith it had in the assurances of
Gladstone that q triumphant liberal
party would soon give it legitimate free
dom.
Parnell would not say that IT had been
impossible to govern Ireland by mere
coercion, but Balfour's mixture of cocr.
cion and constitutionalism would never
succeed. Balfour had made several
mistakes. Among these was that
he had neglected to provide for
arrears rent and for the destitution of
evicted tenants. This had led to the
formation of the agrarian movement,
which would sweep Balfour and his
props away as chaff was swept away be-
fore the whirlwind.
If the government had nothing to be
ashamed of in its connection with tho
London Times, doubtless it would
crafty curiosity by making known much
about the matter. The Parnell commits
sion, instead of trying personal indict-
ments had tried the Irish nation and
the movements of the Irish party.
PAREELLs OPINION.
Parnell declares that all talk about
the Protestant minority being animated
by spirit of hostility to the Irish par
Lament is fallacious. He further de-
lares that modified home rule, as pro-
posed by Gladstone. is preferable to
Gratton's scheme, which contained sew
era. elements of friction.
