A TENANTS DEFENSE LEAGUE.
A New Organization of Which Parnen
Is President.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, July l1.-In view of the fact of the
great interest of O'Brien's announcement yes
terday of a tenants defense league under
Parnell's presidency to oppose the landlords
syndicate l interviewed Davitt this morning
on the significance of the new departure. He
says it was arranged between Parnell. OBrien
and himself and has his heartiest sympathy.
1t will have two immense advantages, first, to
reunite the Irish part. The plan Of campaign
served temporary end, but neither Parnell,
the leader of the conservative wing, nor the
extreme wing, took part in it. The cam
paign ers were the men in the gap. Now, Par
nell will be the man on horseback, again lead
ing united party; secondly, it will be q new
start and generate fresh amount of steam
pointed out that the national league will
now fall into the background and therefore
the unionists will say, 'See, we have killed the
national movement. They are obliged to fall
back on an agrarian move"
Davitt replied that this did not matter; q
rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
The rich people would work for home rule Just
the same. whatever title was given the organi-
cation. He added that a convention would
soon assemble at Dublin, under ParneIl, which
he hoped would formulate program to rally
the democracies of the three kingdoms
L may add that the new departure has the ad-
vantage of a whitewash by Balfour beforehand,
who said in a recent debate, IF / we're a
tenant and found the landlords combining
against me, should combine against them
With all such combinations the government
has no concern"

Six Chicago Firemen Overcome and
Two VIII Probably Die.

CHICAGO, July ia fire in the top story Of
the Anglo-American provision company's ware
house at the corner Of 10th street and Packers
avenue, shortly after IL o'clock this morning,
caused . loss Of about S25, 900 to the firm. The
warehouse is a big four-story brick building,
25 by 800. The upper stories are used solely
for storing prepared hams and lard The
flames were almost inaccessible to the firemen,
and before they could be extinguished il was
found necessary to food the entire floor of the
building. The smoke from the green" hams
stored in the room where the flames started was
remarkably dense and sitting, and several of
the firemen were almost suffocated by il. Six
were overcome by the smoke and it is not i'm
probable that two of them will die. They were
removed TO their homes by . patrol wagon.
The victims are: Fire Marshal Turney of
Lake, Capt. Elliott of Lake, Lieut.. Kenney of
city engine company No. 20 Of Chicago, VIM.
Gormar and Isaac Simmons city fremen, and
pipeman whose name could not be learned.
Lieut.. Kenney and Capt Elliott are said to
be in very critical condition. When taken
from the burning building they were uncon-
scious. But for the prompt action of the other
fremen the men who were overcome would
have died in the building

jackson, Miss, special correspondent called on
Governor Lowry last night. He was particu-
larly amused at the criticism the New Orleans
papers had given him in his action to sup
press the Suilivan-Kilrain fight, but he said
before he got through with all those who had
anything to do with the fight the laugh would
be on the other side. The constitution of the
state, he said, forbids the military authorities
from doing anything except under the direction
OF the civil authorities, and for that reason he
was powerless to prevent it. However" he
said, II will see that every man, including the
Queen and Crescent authorities, especially
Mr. Carroll, general superintendent, who aided
and abetted the lighters, will be held to strict
accountability of the law and will be prose-
cuted to the end. Afidavits will be at once
made out against all parties concerned, and if
they do not come to answer the charges will
issue acquisitions for them. will not see the
law so fagrantly violated, and in the event Of
Kilrain's death they will be prosecuted for
murder" The governor seems determined on
this matter.

George Hitchcock, secretary Of the American

Of gossip in the American colony. The affair
has taken turn which no one has looked for
in the reconciliation of Hitchcock and his wife
the latter condoning the offense of her hus-
band and the rescue of the victim by her sister
Mary. Acting upon instructions from her
father to reclaim her sister at all hazards Miss
Mary left Paris in search of her last week, in

well-known physician of st. Paul, arriving in
Jersey just in time to upset Hitchcock's fur
ther plans Hitchcock, who had assumed the
name of Smith, had ordered his own and his
companions baggage to be sent to Guernsey
Miss Mary succeeded in seeing Agnes and per-
suading her to return with her and she is now
on her way to America. Hitchcock then sought
to return to the affections of his wife and was
successful. His fellow artists, however, refuse
tC recognize him.

In this connection il is interesting 20 nots
that while Englishmen as q rule are as pro-

deriding the upholders of the theory they are

without protest from but with the actual ap-
proval OF politicians who would be most in

strong individuslist, claims the state monopoly
in telephones, and Mr.. Raikes, the postmaster

the exercise of this monopoly. Prof. Fawcett,

a thing is legally possible those who join such

and finally a struggle was seen in the car, and
an officer reached over with handouts in his
hand and, seizing the slugger's arm, pulled
him out into the aisle Of the car Sullivan re-
sisted. Muldoon, who occupied the same seat,
put his head out of the window and cried to
the crowd: Gentlemen, demand American
protection" His patriotic wall was greeted
with variety Of responses. Some cheered
Sullivan and begged him to
KNOCK THE coPPERs OUT"
Others cried "Hurrah for the Nashville po-
lice," "Hit him with your club" &c. One
youngster, who was hanging on the outside of
the car window, ducked his head behind the sill
and informed the crowd that ''the cops have out
their guns" After brief struggle Sullivan
was taken from the car and hustled to a car
riage.
In the scuf1e he drew back to knock down a
policeman, when Chief Clack stuck a pistol
