PARNELL's REASONS.

Why He Is Opposed to the Balfour Land
Purchase bill.
New York, May 31.-The American Re-
view has an article by Parnell stating that
the Irish party's objection to Balfour's
Irish land purchase bill oharacterizes the
measure as ''insuficient and dishonest" It
is insufficient because il would not reach
more than one out of every four Irish ten
ants, and then there would be many in the
favored minority who have no right or
claim to enjoy the benefits of land purchased
at the expense of the tate. It would take up
wards of G1O6, 900 to enable all Irish
tenants entitled to do 80 to become owners
of their holding. The state would never
advance the vast sum necessary for the pur-
pose, as every ono comedies that 933, OO0, 600
is the utmost sum British taxpayers can be
induced to guarantee.
The Irish party hold, therefore. that the
land act of 1881 should first be 80 amended
as to secure tenants Improvements from
the ini1iction of rent. Great abuses have
attended the working Of the land purchase
ously misspent, while the question is left
unsolved. Moreover, the grossest favor
itism has been shown in the sci ection Of es-
tates for whose purchase advances Of pub
lie money are to be made.
Up to Dec. 81, 1888, $50 owners sold estates
to tenants for e3, 1872, 600. OF these $50 owners
thirty-four walked off with G2. 2.25l 900. The
consideration, Parnell says, which infiu-
enced him as largely as anything else in
opposing the measure, is the existence Of
coercion in Ireland, which renders it i'm
! possible for tenants to contract freely with
their landlords in arranging terms of sales.

Few Honest Pennies.

Arizona Quartsrmasters Who Turned q
Few Honest Pennies.
New York, May 31.-A Washington spe-
cial says that June 10th court
martial will convene at Tucson,
Ariz., for the trial Of Capt. Alonzo
f. Miltimore, assistant quartermas-
ter. The charges are defaulting to the gov
ernment. Late developments resulted in
an order from the war department. for the
trial Of three other of1icers-Majors Joseph
w. Wham, and Albert 8. Towar, of the pay
department. and Major Amos s. Kimball,
chief quartermaster Of the. department. of
Arizona. The quartermasters are charge d
with fraud in having rented a room in their
personal quarters to the government for q
sum nearly equal to the amount paid for
the whole house, thus getting their rent
practically free and their regular allowance
in addition. The charges against Milti-
more are of various fraudulent transactions,
such as carrying his wife on the pay roll as
clerk, his servant as janitor, renting his
property fraudulently to the government.
Kimball will be charged with neglect Of
duty in not discovering or reporting these
fragrant cases of fraud under his admins
tration.

More Mormons Coming,

New YORK, May 31.-Ieading lights of
the Mormon church are in a state of anx-
iety over the question of the admittance of
a thousand or more converts who will arrive
next week. Elder Cannon and others had
a long conference to-day with the contract
labor inspectors and assured the officials
that no Mormons are imported under con-
tract. All come on purely religious grounds
and no effort is ever made by the church to
have them come here otherwise. After
much talk it was decided not to detain any
but to take full memoranda and afterwards
should investigation disclose any contract
case the people could be easily reached.
The elders were pleased at the result of the
conference.

To Avense Fersuson's Massacre.

MILES Cry, May 3l.-[Special. Feeling
runs high in this section since the savage
murder of Ferguson. Citizens feel that
their appeals to the government that these
Indians should be removed should have
been listened to before white mans life
became the price of filling a Cheyenne's
stomach. These Indians belong in the In
dian Territory, and our members in con-
gress will have to see that the pledges OF the
party in power to wipe out thee Cheyenne aQen-
cy are fulfilled. Already the cowboys in the
southwestern part Of the county are arming
themselves, and the fate OF wandering
Cheyennes can be imagined. The whole
county feels that the cold blooded murder
must be avenged.

The first twelve months after the disaster

day was the finding of two unknown bodies

Frank Shepley Easily Uses Up Welch,
Of Chicago, at Liv-
ingston.
The Fight Was Entirely In His
Favor From Start to
Finish.
Base Bali Record Up 10 Date, Including
Saturdays GameseFides Lowers the
Three-Quarter Record.

LdvINosroN, May y31.-[Speoial.] ]-Between
two and three hundred people assembled in
the gymnasium tonight to witness the 20
round glove contest between Frank Shep-
ley, the well-k known champion lightweight
Of Montana, and Paddy Welsh, of Chicago.
About 10 O'Clock, the crowd becoming i'm
patient. Kid johnson, Of Bozeman. nnd
John MCGUIRE, a stranger, lightweight, en-
tered the ring and gave three-round exhi-
bition, which was highly satisfactory. Both
men were quick as cats and did dne and
lively work.
II was after II when Shepley entered the
ring. Red Ward, Of Miles City, was chosen
referee and stated to the contestants upon
entering the ring that they must work and
entertain the boys. John MCGUIRE second
ed Shepley and Harry Harris acted as his
timekeeper, while. T. O. Donohue. Of st.
Paul, and Joe Kenney, of Horv, appeared
for Welsh. The bottle-holders were Hank
Whitten for Shepley and Jimmy Ryan for
Welsh.
When time was called for the first round
both men sprang lightly to their feet and
Shepley Immediately started in to do his
man. Before the third round closed Welsh
was winded and it was apparent to all that
he was NO match for Shepley. In this round
Welsh went down repeatedly to avoid pun
ishment and did but little work, while
Sheplsy got in good work on Welsh's wind.
In the fourth Welsh received severe pun
ishment about the head, Shepley holding
his head in chancery and giving six or seven
savage upper cuts that dazed Welsh COM
pletely. When the sixth was called Welsh
avoided Shepley as much as possible but
received some heavy blows which he was
unable to dodge.
When time on the seventh was called
Welsh came to the scratch blowing heavily.
Shepley knocked him down as fast as he
would arise. A blow on Welsh's mouth
caused blood to appear, and when he took
his seat at the call Of time his nose was
peeled. The eighth round was called, but
Welsh did not respond and stated that he
could continue the fight no longer and
would not run the risk of being killed, az
he had no wind left. Shepley was disap-
pointed and begged for one more round,
and said lie could then knock Welsh ont,
but it was without avail, as Welsh had had
enough. Shepley was as fresh as at the
start. He did not anticipate the fight
closing SO quickly and had just got in
working order. Welsh weighed 168 pounds
but was feshy. Shepley's weight was only
1873. The gate receipts we're about $3.50, and
all 90 to the winner.

Mutton for the Indians.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, May 3l.-One of the
most disastrous wrecks known on the At
lantic and Pacific occurred on that road
yesterday evening two miles from its juno
ton with the Santa Fe. A train of double
decked cars, loaded with five thousand fine
merino mutton sheep. on the way from Cal
ifornia to the Chicago market. was wrecked
by the breaking of truck. Every car but
two was destroyed and about 1000 sheep
killed outright. Neighboring Indians
worked all night skinning carcasses. They
will have mutton for months to come. The
wreck was cleared in time to let the passen-
ger trains through on time to-day.

Copyright. 1890. by New York Associated Press,
BERLIN. May 31.-Emperor William to-
day is able, for the first time since last Sun
days accident. to hobble about his room on
q crutoh. Several Of the smaller bones of
the ankle were broken and the whole leg il
confused. The doctors insist on his taking
longer rest. Throughout the week the eu-
peror has kept his secretaries and ministers
actively at work. He was displeased at tho
delays in the negotiations with England
regarding Africa, and took ensise control Of
the matter. After several conferences
with the British ambassador and heads
of tho colonial department., proposals
nrasa were 1sd on which, i is thoSght will
Briefly, they are that the German shore
shall extend to the limits of the Congo
Free State from the northern extremity Of
Tanganeieka to Albert Nyanxa; that Uganda
and British Unvoro shall be neutral ground,
free. The British ambassadors evidently
thought these good enough to justify .
resumption Of the discussion, a. he has re-
called the Salisbury envoy. The matter
viii be reopened. A long struggle is ex-
pected over the matter.
Major Wissman comes about June % and
DR.. Peters early in July, each loaded with
facts and reasons in support Of the German
claim. The minor state Of siege ends in
LeipSic on June 2, and If the government
does not renew it the fact will signalize the
determination of the authorities to cease
special socialist enactments throughout
Germany. According to the socialist Volks-
blatt. the Saxon government has asked the
bundesrath to prolong the law. The de-
mand has aroused the emperor, who desires
to place before the bundesrath data in sup
port Of the non-renewal Of the meas
ure. The official tendency here now ID
in accordance with the emperor's desire to
give the socialists "free BREATH" The bum
desrath's assent to a permit for the socialist
law to expire is doubtful. The Hamburger
Nachrichten predicts inevitable insurrec-
tion when restraints on the proletariat are
removed. The Nachrichten doubtless re-
fleets Bismarck's opinion, which continues
to influence members of the bundesrath.
Bismarck, in speech to the delegates OF
the polytechnic academy who presented him
value of the idea of unity permeating Ger
many. People who ascribed to him the
phrase that unity could only be established
by blood and iron misunderstood his saw
ing. What he meant was that the king at
that time ought to have az much power al
possible. in order that in case Of need he
might throw all blood and iron into the
scale. Fortunately, Germany had got past
that now, and the greatest fortune for the
country was peace. He did not believe q
German emperor would ever look upon
map with Napoleonic lust of conquest in
his heart.
The ceremony Of placing the last stone
