MEETING OF IRISH MEMBERS.
A Plan by Which They VIII Present
United Actions i'm the Comm

LONDON. July s.-The Irish members Of par
lament who have been mostly enjoying a va
cation FOR the past fortnight, in the absence OF
any Irish business in the house, are beginning
to return TO town, and meeting has been
ranged for next Saturday. al ShicA It - ex-
pected there vii be a large attendance OF Irish
home rulers. The object for which the meet
ing is called is to arrange for some united
action on the Irish drainage bin, which will
probably come up for its final passage in the
house early next week. Hitherto the
Irish members have been on both sides Of this
question. some voting with the government
and against their allies, the liberals, ON the
second reading Of the bill and others voting
against the government IL Is felt that this
lack of unity among Irishmen on purely Irish
question must have a tendency 70 weaken the
influence OF the party. and some harmJ Jnlous
action is expected as the outcome OF the pro-
posed meeting. The GladstonIan liberals, too,
have brought considerable pressure 10 bear
upon the Irish members who voted VIII the
government upon the division 70 induce them
to aid in presenting a united front 20
LORD sALIsBURY's POLICY IN IRELAND.
Their view o. this measure is that ii is held
out bribe to ireland, and they urge Irish
men to reject il. While some Of the Pamellites
are disposed 10 eject the governments ad-
vances with "a S idea, the majority say that
they could not vote against measure which
and then dare to show their faces at home.
The idea with which the Irish members support
the measure is probably best expressed in the
speech delivered in the house on the second
reading of the bill by Mr.. J. ]. Clancy. MEM
Der for Dublin. He said that Ireland
was at with the present government.
1t would take all it could get and then il would
not give a single bit of thanks. Ii England
spent twenty millions or a thousand millions
that policy the result would be the same as if
England had spent nothing at all. If that sys-
tem of Cover ent continued ireland would
make England pay the price of the union 20 the
last penny. Ii the government proposed to
grant a hundred millions he would not oppose
it. This speech was greeted with rousing cheers
by the nationalists.

appears. has a very fine exhibit at the exposi-
tlon. and calculating with great precision the
commercial value the award of a gold medal
would be to himself. sat down and wfote to the
three judges in his department indicating his
earnest wish in the premises, inclosng f40

ceived information that the piers of the free
bridge were settling, supposed to be the result
of the late freshet, and that the structure was
in danger. The matter was referred to the

dence of settling.

ANOTHER POW-WOW.
Gen. Crook Gives the Indians Some
Wholesome Advice.

Crow CREEK AGENCY, S. D., July Z, via CHAM
BERLAIN, S. D., July s.-The Indians held a
long council this afternoon. Gen. Crook was
sent for and remained with them for some time.
He gave them wholesome advice and explained
the substantial benefits which an acceptance by
them of the proposition offered would give
them. 1t is understood that the council sep
arated without coming to any agreement
as to their action on the bill. The most
thoughtful as well as some of the most progress
sive Indians look with dlsfavor at the propo-
sition owing to the small size of their proposed
reservation, which allows only about 26O acres
of land per capita. The Brules get nearly
double this quantity and the land is said to be
equally good.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, July s.--Lowther. fhe senior stew
ard of Jockey club and president OF the recent
arbitration, made a speech Saturday eating his
own words and whitewashing Chetwynd. He
said he.was completely cleared of the grave
charges and did not hesitate to still call him
his honorable friend. If so why did the arbi-
traitors give him only farthing damages?
Every one is puzzled at this curious in-and-out
running of Lowther. Can he have been pulled"
in the interest of Chetwynd's powerful friends?
