Mr.. Gladstone at Southport Speaks
OF Irish Affairs.
Canada Withdraws Privileges from
- United States Vessels.

LONDON. October 23.-Mr. GLADSTONE de-
livered an address at Southport this evening".
He was enthusiastically welcomed The
hall was crowded for two hours before the
meeting opened. Mr.. Gladstone reviewed
tine work of the Liberal party during the
past 81 years, and paid tribute to the lauda-
BILE anxiety Of the powers to postpone Eu-
ropean crisis. He referred to the Cretan
question as formidable menace to the peace
of Europe. and criticized at length the gov
ernment's work.-4fhe speech was short and
somewhat disappointing. Mr.. Gladstone
made point by declaring the principles Of
the dock strikers applied to the tenants and
tradesmen of Ireland would have been penal.
He believed if they could end the septen-
nial act and appeal to the people tomorrow
the verdict would be in favor of the Liber-
ais and justice to Ireland.

SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota, October 90
Last night the entire city turned out to do
honor to Hon. r. +. Pettlgrew. the newly
elected United States Senator. Visitors
were present from over all South Dakota.
No hall In the city would have held the peo-
pie, aud so the homeing took place. out doors.
Senator Pettigrew, in his tspeech, said that
the grand stand from which he was address
sing his fellow citizens stood exactly where
he camped twenty years ago before, when
poor, detected and tired out with his long
tramp, he reached what Is now the city OF
Sioux Falls. At that time the country north
west to the Pacific was without sign Of civ
ilization. Senator Pettigrew said Of his
policy as Senator Of the United States:
My sympathies are with the. toilers for
daily bread-and my hope and wish for them
Is that the wages which they earn by their
labor may not be squandered for that which
debauches them and makes their condition
harder to bear. Ny sympathles are with the
tillers Of the soil-the Rrandest occupation
since the world began,-and | pledge myself
to make their peculiar interests a special
charge upon myself. But In doing this |
shall not forget that the great railway and
other corporation interests have rights
which likewise are entitled TO consideration.
While am Republican. shall hope to es-
cape bitter partisanship-but there Is one
policy which / shall spare no efforts to pro-
mote, and that is free ballot and fair
count in every State In the Union--sOme-
thing which appeals to every honest senti
ment Of every American citizenship. Upon
the great question Of the tariff l shall be a
protectionlst-in order that we may be not
only producers Of raw material. but OF manu-
factured articles as well, so that diversified
occupation shall be afforded for our people,
In order that the ranks OF the farming
classes may be kept from being so over
crowded as to became entirely Improbable.
shalt favor an ample supply Of currency
not an Imitation such as that demanded by
rampant greenbackism. but at least equal to
the needs Of America-for scant currency
means improper advantage to dealers la
money by increasing the demand for that in
which they traffic. This great common
wealth and Its interests will be my particu-
lar care--an empire with boundless resources
which may be made to contribute to the
comforts Of happy people, an empire
which, In the not distant future, will number
population Of 2.50O0,0O0.

FATALLY STABBED WITH A PENKNlFE
RoderIck McKennon, Formerly of
Portland, Murdered In Boston.
He Bet on Horse Race, QuarreIIed,
and Was Killed.
The Unknown AssaiIant Slipped Into
the Crowd and Disappeared.

BOSTON, October 23.-At about o'clock
this afternoon, Roderick McKennon, aged
% years. got into controversy with an un-
known man in Bendalps Lane, which runs
from North Market street into North street,
the dispute being, it is said, over small
amount Of money. McKennon struck at the
unknown man, when the latter drew pen
knife, and stabbed McKennon i'm the neck,
cutting the jugular vein. The assailant
made his escape. McKennon was taken to
the police station, and died soon after his
arrival. The men were said to have been
together short time before the murder in
one of the pool rooms in that Ineighborhood.
The sum in dispute was said to have been
81 wagered on a horse race. The affair
seems to have attracted but little attention,
although the thoroughfare was crowded at
the time. This fact enabled the murderer
to make his escape. The police are as yet
unable to obtain any satisfactory descrip-
tion of the murderer. As the probabilities
are that he has been frequenter of pool
rooms, it is likely some important jnforma-
tion will soon be obtained that will lead to
his arrest. All at present known is that he
was man small in stature, of light COM
plexiOD. and that he wore a light overcoat.
McKennon. until today. was employed as
waiter at the Parker House. 1t is under
stood that he has employed in the same ca
pacity in the Preble House and one other ho-
tel in Portland, Me.
News of the death of McKennon was
brought to this city by kilograms 70 the head
walters of the Falmouth and Preble, asking
for information about the man. All that is
known of him here is that he came to Port
laud from st. John some years ago, and Sc
cured employment as waiter at the Fal-
mouth Hotel. At the beginning of last sum-
mer he went to the Prebe House, but left
there somewhat over month ago, going to
Boston to take position in the Parker
House. He boarded at 80 Chambers street.
in Boston. While in this city, McKennon
made many friends who anxiously inquired
last night as to the truth of the report of his
death. The deceased was engaged to be
married to Portland girl
