SQUELCHING A FALSEH00D.
MACKAY AFTER THE sLANDERERs OF HIS
WIFE IN LONDON.
Mrs. Mackay's Name CovertIy Connected
With That of Lady's Maid Who Eloped
to America Some Years Ago-Apologies
in Order.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPArCH.l


LONDON, Dec. 6.-Some weeks ago ad.
vertisements were printed in London
newspapers, whereby John w. Mackay
offered reward for information con-
cerning the identity of certain per-
sons in London who had circulated
unpleasant rumors concerning Mrs.
Mackay's early career. The explanation
of this circumstance furnishes rather an
amusing illustration of the facility
with which a rumor can augment
itself under favorable conditions. 1t
seems that a lady of high position
near the Court. Mrs. Chain, some years ago,
was annoyed by the escapade of a fayorite
maid, very pretty girl, who ran awav
from her employer and her home and went
to New York with a wealthy Australian,
not unknown to the turf. -:t'.-
Her mistress, interested in, the girls well
fare, heard tina. she had eventually gone to
the Pacific coast and there married
Scotchman or Irishman by the name of
Mackay. When Mrs. j. W. Mackay
came TO London and attracted the attention
of fashionable society by giving a splendid
entertainment which the Price of Wales
left large party at Holderness
House to attend, some thoughtless or
lll-natureQ person IN MIS-. IMAM S
circle of friends threw out a qnery as to
whether the Mr.. Mackay, whose name was
then in all peoples mouths as the silver
king in America, could possibly be the per-
son who was reported to have married Mrs.
Chains maid.
There does not seem to have been the
slightest imaginable incentive to. or excuse
for, this query except the idle and frivolous
disposition of the persons who made it.
Who this person was is not stated,
although it is attributed to two
not very prominent men, more or less
addicted to fashionable gossip, but as in the
case of the three black crows, the query
once started went from mouth to mouth un-
til it grew into an assertion, and it was so
often repeated that it came at last to the
knowledge of Mrs. Mackay, as proceeding
from a well-known American lady, now
resident in London.
Then Mr.. Mackay thought the time had
come for taking decisive measures, and is
sued the advertisement referred to, and
called in the services of Colonel Lewis who
has been effectually setting the matter right
with explanations and apologies from all
concerned.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prsP

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArCHi
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6.-The Cleveland
element of the Democrats who control the
Democratic City Committee are waiting
patiently to see if Governor Pattlson will
fulfill the expectations entertained by them
with reference to his Cabinet appointments.
1t is, as heretofore stated in The DIS
PATCH, a certain thing that e1-Postmaster
Harrity will be appointed Secretary of the
Commonwealth. His friends say he has
earned it.
The impression among the Democracy is
that ex-Presioent Cleveland has great deal
of confidence in Harrity's ability, and that
he would like to see him occupy an i'm
portant position under the incoming State
administration. Harritv is Cleveland man
through and through, and is expected to
look after the ex-President's interests in this
end of the State, at least, in his candidacy
for the Presidency.
Pretty Badly Broken Up.
Meanwhile the Democratic organization
inthis city Is thoroughly demoralized. The
Cleveland element has not yet succeeded in
the Fourth ward in opposition TO
the regular Democratic committee, which is
controlled by Squire McMullen and his
friends. Theexpulsion of tine Squire from the
City Committee by the Clevelandites is a
thing that never happened before. 1t is
morally certain that there will be two rival
Democratic City Committees in town before
the end of January. The new committee
will adopt division representation, which is
the thing the rank and file of the Democ-
racy have been so long clamoring for.
There is likelihood that the rivalry be-
tween ex-President Cleveland and Gov
ernor Hill for the Presidential nomination
will be signalized in conspicuous way in
Philadelphia on jackson Day." the 9Th of
January.
Cleveland is Coming.
The Young Mems Democratic Association,
which is largely made up of Mr.. Cleveland's
old Office holders, has, as everybody knows,
secured an acceptance from him to
their invitation requesting him to be
present at their annual banquet on the even
ing of the day mentioned. The Iroquois
Club, the powerful Democratic organization
which has its headquarters at Eighteenth
street and FairDount avenue, Fifteenth
ward, and of which ex-Representative
George Morgan is President, has sent an
invitation to Governor Hill to be present at
their banquet on the same date.
There is every confidence on the part of
the members that the Governor will accept.
He has all along been the idol of the Iro-
quois Club boys, and his acceptance Is sure
to give occasion for big demonstration in
his honor. Already it is understood that
some of the bourbon Democrats are
quietly laying plans to organize and
turn out in great force to escort him from
his hotel to the clubrooms. There is not the
slightest doubt that Governor Hills coming
to Philadelphia will enthuse the straight
out Democracy tremendously.

grafton and how to control it, an apparent
unique subject for the British empire to be
called upon to discuss, as it has been gen.
orally supposed that Her Msjesty's domain
was being decimated by emigrants instead
of swelled by Immigrants. Bnt parlia-
mentary discussion points contrarywise. and
the question now is whether the Haworth
law, that taxes all new eomers,
shall prevail, or whether the
Jennings substitute shall be accepted, which,
based upon the custom IN America, is in
tended to restrain all from landing who can
not prove their ability to pay their way.
II it were not for the overshadowing
Irish squabble, this question of immigra-
tion would doubtless attract more attention,
as Investigation into the matter shows that
the influx of foreigners-Germans especially
who are able TO live on very small sum,
is reducing wages to point at which the
ordinary man is unable to make both ends
meet.

THE ENJOYS GOING EAST.

Dillon Makes a Statement, but Harrington
Isn't Heard From.
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-The,Irish ENJOYS left
for New York at 3 o'clock this afternoon
by the Michigan Central Railroad. Shortly
before their departure Mr.. Dillon, on behalf
of his fellow envoys, made the following
statement to an Associated Press reporter:
We have. up to the present time. maintained
silence and abstainei from inviting any ex-
preston of opinion en- the situation at home,
out OF respect for the deliberations of onr
colleagues. We have to-day received assur-
ances that the Parliamentary Fund Associa-
tion of New York, otherwise known as the
Hoffman House Committee. which raised $780,
900 and turned it over to Mr.. Parnell, person
ally, at the time OF the last general election,
heartily ndorses our action, and that the NUM-
cipal Council of the League in New York also
support us.
An evening paper says Mr.. Harrington,
it is understood, has gone to Detroit to con-
fer with his friends there. He did not hold
any conference with the other deleghtes, and
left no word as to his intentions.

Consumption.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Joe Coburn, for
many years heavyweight champion pugil-
ist of the world. passed away at his resi-
dence tonight after an illness of little over
six months. The pugilist caught a severe
cold last fall, from which he contracted a
severe bronchial attack, which developed
into consumption, which eventually resulted
in his death.
He came to this conDtry when quite lad.
The last time he fought for the champion
ship was November 80, 1870, when he fought
a draw with Jem Mace. 1t was an event
of great interest and was decided near
New Orleans. Coburn died in poverty, but
he had few solid friends left who
stood by him to the end. Coburn has never
been himself since he served term in Sing
Sing. He was sent there for
ten years for a felonious assault
committed during wordy alteration on
Sixth avenue. He was we'll conducted
prisoner and received the usual commuta-
ton for good behavior.

the Crisis.

the Crisis.
PARIS, Dec 6.--The press of this city
devote much attention to the crisis in the
affairs of the Irish party. The balance of
opinion is decidedly adverse to the retention
of Mr.. Parnell at the head of the National
ist party. The Steele says Parnell's OBJ
stinacy tends to the irretrievable rui of the
home rule movement and to throw Ireland
back into the revolutionary condition from
which he himself had led her forth. The
Temps comments in the same vein.
The Republique Franchise holds that
Gladstone ought TO have accepted the pro-
posals made by ParnelPs supporters. by this
means saving the dignity of Parnell and
proving the disruption OF the Irish party.
