AN IRISH EVICTION.
Exciting Scenes Attending an EXPEDITE
In County Donegal

Exclt10R scenes AItonOlnB An ExpoO1ttohA
In County Donegal
The evictions so long threatened on
the Olphert County Donegal) estate
were commenced on Wednesday, and,
Judging by the spirit and indomitable
pluck brought to bear by our Northern
friends in their first contest with the
crowbar brigade. felonious landlordism
is hated as much in the North as in the
South. and the determination of the
people to fight for their homes just as
intense in one province as in the other.
The forces of the Crown were engaged
for a considerable time in endeavoring
to evict man named O'Donnell, who
offered most fierce resistance. Attack
after attack was made by the emer-
gency men on the house, but each on
slaught was vigorously repulsed by
those inside. The agent of the estate,
seeing how miserably his minions had
failed to enter the house, appealed to
Mr.. Bourke, r. NJ, who at once placed
a file OF rifles in front of the building
and not twenty feet from it. but not a
single stone was thrown at them. Mr..
Bourke called upon O'Donnell to sur
render possession of his holding, where
upon the tenant replied that he would
do so if he got what he asked under
the plan of campaign. The police were
then ordered up, a proceeding against
which Father McFadden protested.
The emergency men. protected by the
police, made another determined at
tack, and succeeded in placing ladder
against the wall. Sergeant Nice olumb
at once mounted it, followed by Dis
trict Inspector Sheppard and number
of men with fixed bayonets, while seven
emergency men threw stones with a
will at the window to drive back those
inside. In their anxiety, however. they
proved bad shots, and the police were
severely stoned. The constables on the
ladder thrust their bayonets toward
the window and pressed rapidly up
wards. McColumb having got his head
on level with the window, fork was
thrust at him, and one of the prongs
entered his lower lip. A blow of q
stone a moment later dropped him to
the ground. The contest continued
fiercely, emergency men and police be
ing driven back at all points. with the
result that the crowbar brigade took ia
fight, leaving the brave peasants
master of the situation. After lapse
of two hours another attack was made,
which was likewise repulsed. The
resident magistrate then announced to
the clergy that he would fire on the
garrison If any more Of his men were
struck. Father Stephens shortly after
held consultation with those inside,
and in few moments the brave de-
tenders walked forth. and were loudly
cheered. The police at once took them
into custody. and they were transferred
the same nightto Derry Gaol. So end.

CELLULAR CLOTHING.
An Invention of Great Hygienic and SCH
entifEc Value.

An Invention of Great Hygienic and Sci.
entific Value.
The weaving of new kind OF clotL
was recently begun in England, and is
reported to be a satisfactory success.
the public demand for the novel fabric
being so great as to necessitate large
extension of the facilities for its manu-
facture. 1t is made out of the same
material as the common cloth. but is
closely woven into cells, the network
of which is covered with thin ''nuff."
Hence the term cellular" has been
applied to the fabric and the clothing
into which it is made. The porous
ness of the new cloth permits a slow in
terchange of the air outside with that
next the skin. This gives time for the
air next the body to become OF the
same temperature as the wearer, which
obviates the usual danger of catching
cold, while it contributes to cleanliness
as well as health by allowing the free
escape of the vapors which are con-
stantly exhaled in the shape of insensi-
BILE perspiration.
A common and well founded objec-
ton to cotton clothing is that its use
facilitates the taking of chills and
colds. This is especially true In the
damp climate of the British Islands.
but it holds good to an important ex-
tent in the United States. This objec-
ton will disappear if the cellular pro-
cess be what it is claimed to be. The
peculiarly protective value OF wool
simply lies in the fact that its fbers
are open and hold the air in the man.
ner above described. The action is
easily understood. Air, when per-
fectly still, is an exceedingly poor con-
ductor of heat. Scientifically speak
ing. it is so at all times, but when it
moves to mingle with other masses of
air the temperature of the two is
speedily equalized. This simple fact
explains the cooling action of strong
wind, the use of paper as protection
under the clothing, and the utility of
air spaces in the walls of buildings.
Heat passes with difficulty through air
that is confined, and its ENHANCEMENT
in the fleece is the real secret of its
warmth to the sheep. If the fibers of
cotton can be arranged artificially in
much the same way the action will be
equivalent, and it will thus become
equally valuable with wool as clothing
material.
The invention of cellular clothing is
thus strictly in accordance with by.
gienic and scientific principles. II
promises to conduce to health and pro.
long the lives of the many thousands
who will prefer the product because il
is cheap, and be able to enjoy the com.
fort of clothing to larger extent than
now because wooden fabrics will neces-
sarily be cheapened by the increasing
competition of cotton goods. An ap
parently little thing like this may per
haps add vastly more to the real wei
fare of the human race than do most o
the much Wanted and loudly pro
claimed discoveries which have made
some men famous and others rich IN
the last half of the century. Chicago

TOMATOES IN ENGLAND.

The Recent Adoption OF That Vegetable
In the Land OF John Bull.
American readers, accustomed to see
tomatoes in some shape on the table
nearly every day of the year, will
scarcely appreciate how nearly that
familiar vegetable comes to being q
rare delicacy in England. We quote
the following from the London Tattler
Of a recent date: .Ten years ago it
was an exception to find this delight
fui fruit on the tables of any but the
wealthy; but to-day they are to be
found in most houses during the sea-
son. extensive cultivation having
brought down the prices SO as to make
them come within the reach OF all.
The tomato, or love apple as it was
formerly called, originally came from
South America, but it was not until the
climate of the United States was found
to be eminently adapted to their growth
that they came into general use, the
taste for the same spreading to Europe.
1t is, in addition to its valuable n.y.
genie qualities, one of the most profit
able fruits to cultivate and we know of
one private gentleman who sends no
less than one ton to market daily in
the early season. the price paid for the
same averaging Cd per pound, all of
them being grown under glass. Few
come to perfection in the open air, ow-
ing to the short duration of sunshine
in England. Like the olive it was a
long time before people became &C
customed to their peculiar and delicate
flavor, but each day they grow in popu-
larity. so much so, indeed. that Cape
Town has been requisitioned for sup
ply of the same when they are out Of
season here"

Canadians Feel Aggrteved Over the
Seizure or the Sealing Schooner.
OTTAWA, Aug. IA meeting Of the
cabinet was held yesterday to discuss the
seizure OF the Canadian sealing schooner
in the Behring sea by the United States
revenue cutter Rush. A demand, il is
said, will at once be made on the British
government for two vessels to proceed TO
the Behring sea to look after and protect
Canadian vessels from the United States
cutters.
TORONTO, Aug. IA special dispatch
from Ottawa to the Empire says: The
latest account Of the piracy by the United
States in Behring sea continues to be
much discussed in official circles. A dis.
patch has been received at the fisheries
department from Baker, member of
parliament, giving additional particulars
Of the seizure Of the Black Diamond. 1t
appears that the vessel was seized when
seventy miles from the shore. Baker
says that a strong feeling Of resentment
and indignation has been en~gendered
among the inhabitants Of British Column
bia by this wanton outrage and that g
meeting Of the citizens Of Victoria is TO
be held TO express heir indignation.
This dispatch r~ funder consideration by
the council yesterday. Until an official
report is before the government no action
can be taken and the minister OF customs
accordingly t~elegraphed TO the collector
at Victoria to forward full particulars
without loss Of time. The collectors re
ply was received last evening, but it APP
pears that the information he has given
is no fuller than that already published. ("
NO OFFICIAL INFORMATION RECEIVED.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Inquiry at the

meat that there was absolutely no infor-
nation here respecting the seizures Of
the Triumph and Black Diamond by a
revenue cutter for sealing in the Behring
sea, except that contained in the Associ.
ated Press dispatches en- the subject. In

States seal fishing grounds. AS to
the report that the understanding existed
by which the British government was not
to take notice CT such seizures he knew
nothing. If any such understanding ex-
listed he was not aware Of it. The case
OF the seizure and search of the Triumph,
which was afterward released because no
sealskins were found on board, this Of
fetal intimated, might be a more serious
matter than the seizure and detention of
the Black Diamond, for it involved the
right of the United States to seize
and search suspected vessels outside Of
what is conceded to be the limits of the
jurisdiction Of the United States. This
government, he said, claims that right
within the limit not yet acknowledged
by England, and the settlement of the
question, after all, is to be one of iuris-
diction.
