Tbomas BRENNAN Ipteryiewed.

Especial to THE HERALD-EXam1ner DiSpatch.l
CHICAGO, March 5.-At 80 o'clock this morn
ing Wednesday, the statement of the London
Times Wednesday morning concerning P. F.
Sheridan, of Colorado was taken by ET-
dRsilser representative to the Grand Pacific
hotel where Mr.. Thomas Brennan, of Omaha is.
Mr. Brennan was awakened and shown q copy
of the dispatch. The noted ex-secretary Of the
Land league in Ireland was nearly worn out
after the exciting meeting in Central music
hall, but was all attention Immediately on
learning what had been said by the Times. R1S-
ing up from his pillow, and his eyes glowing
with earnestness he said: 'sThiS utterance of
the Times fully confirms Sheridans affidavit
which obtained from him last April in Colo
RADIO ana shows the effects of that deSpicable lot
to manufacture evidence against Mr.. Parnel
and his friends. AS to Sheridan going over there
to London as the Times now says he should have
done it is only necessary to say that il Sheridan
had gone over there and told the truth, not what
the Times wanted but the real truth. they would
have instantly clapped him into jail. With re-
gard to the letter of introduction which Mr..
Davitt now publishes, have only this much TO
say: L saw that letter from Dewey to Egan, and
Egan sent it over by the same messenger that
also took Sheridan'S affidavit. Perhaps it Is
just as well at this moment to name the gentle
man who acted as messenger on that occasion.
He is Mr.. James ROurke, of Dublin. Mr.. ROurke
came out here to Chicago from Dublin by way OF
dams affidavit from me to be taken with him
back to Dublin"
Mr.. Brennan was in great good humor over
what he evidently considered the damaging ad-
mission of the London paper and went back to
sleep as happy as a man could be.

THE FIRST GUN FIRED
By Springer Against the Admis-
sion of Idaho.
FEATHERsToNE GETS THE SEAT,
Across the Boarder-A Regular Under
ground Route for Them in Michigan.

WASHINGTON, March Especial tc THE
HERALD. Representative Springer of Illinois.
fired the opening gun in the House committee
On territories today in opposition TO the admis-
sion of Wyoming and Idaho. He declared that
he would persistently fight their admission until
the female suffrage clause was eliminated from
the Wyoming constitution and the Idaho con-
stitution amended so that Mornons could be dis
Eranchised only when they were proven guilty OF
polygamy, and not because they were Mormons.
Mr.. Springer believes that the Ger
mans of the country, who are mainly
Republicans will oppose Wyoming's admis
sion under the circumstances on the ground that
women are proverbially favorable to tempe
Rnce and that IN the proposed new state they
would be given an undue influence in nationa
affairs. He does not believe that Wyoming car
be admitted with the female suffrage clause il
Aer constitution, and further believes that The
House viii not permit Idaho to join the sister
hood of states when n large and importanrclaS;
og her citizens are DISTINGUISHED because thel
religious views are called in question by a PEG
pie with no religious convictions OF their own.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. ]
NEW YORK, March 5.-Jack Fallon, of Brook
lvn, to whom a benefit was given last night in
Williamsburg, succeeded in making himself
very disagreeable before the close of the show.
Peter Jackson, the Australian champion, who
had gone at considerable inconvenience to him
self TO spar with the beneficiary, received what
was thought by every one present to be very bad
treatment at the hands of Fallon. In the sec
ond round OF the bout between Jackson and
Fallon the latter made an effort to knock out the
man from the antipodeS. Fallon evidently was
out of form and showed up poorly in the first
round. Towards its close he struck sayagely at
the good natured colored pugilist who seemed
surprised at the attack. They came together
with a rush in the second round and Jack

In the bout with Jack Ashton short time be-

savage lead for AShtonS face with his right and

Arguments In the NagIe Case.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Argument before
the United States supreme court in Nagle's
habeas corpus case was concluded to-day
Choate continued his argument on the line laid
down by him yesterday-that of the supremacy
of the United States to the states. He main
tanned that when the constitution vested judi
cial power in the courts, and to carry this into
effect enacted laws to divide the country into
circuits it necessarily implied that in the dis
charge of the duties so imposed upon them the
officers of the courts should be absolutely pro-
tected by the government whose servants they
are.
The case was closed by Attorney General
He conceded that Congress might pass a law for
the protection of judges while travelling to and
from their circuits, but maintained that no such
law had been passed giving this protection,
! either in words or by implication, and that its
passage was absolutely essential in order to
| trust the police power OF the states.

walker. of MASSACHUSETTS,, on Silver.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Before the House
committee on coinage Walker, OF Massachusetts,
SAID: 81 am satisfied it is the desire of large
majority of the people Of the United States that
further effort be made to bring the price of sill
yer and gold together at the ratio of 1873. While
personally am willing to try further expert
ment by passing the treasury bill in obedience
to the popular demand at d minimum risk to our
monetary system, but the Senate bill de-
parts so widely from all experience that
under no circumstances could vote
for it, The difference between the bills
carefully is stated as follows. Comparison of
treasury and Senate bills: 1.-The secretary S
bill proposes to receive so much of the silver
product of the United States, that's the product
of our own mines, and ores produced in this
country, as may be offered at its market value
and to issue certificates against 1t. The silver
products of the United States, including the sill
yer obtained from Mexican ores reduced in this
country, aggregates about hfty-one million fine
ounces annually. Deducting the amount used
annually in the arts, say 100000 ounces, the
amount would probably aggregate 45,OOo,0O
ounces at price of 81 per ounce. The quantity
received and on which notes would be issued
would amount to S45,0o00O0, all the product of
American mines and smelters. The government
is simply passive agent for The receipt OF such
American silver as is offered and not compelled
| to go abroad and join with foreign spectators
ana fix a fictitious price for silver.
The committee considered the first two sec
! tons of the Window bill and rejected several
| amendments thereto.
In the executive session of the Senate this af
ternoon, no conclusion was reached in the mat
ter of violation of secrecy by newspapers.
| The motion OF Bland TO strike out the para
graph limiting treasury purchases to domestic
product, was defeated by vote of to 8. The
motion by Knapp on the other hand to strike
out the words .or ores" which make the bill
permit the purchase OF silver from Mexican
ores defeated by 9 to 3. Bland moved to strilI,
out section one OF the bill and insert the frs
section of the Senate bill. This was lost by
vote OF to Z. The proposition by Mutchler t,
limit the purchase under the bill TO a4.500,0O
per month was lost by a vote of TO Q. Tn
amendment proposed by Knapp providing 70
certificates OF less denomination I'm IS shal
be issued, were lost.

For several days the Roman authorities havs

dukes famous herd on the Pontine marshes, and
he declared that no cowboys on earth could ride
one. The cowboys laughed at the boast. Then
the duke dared them 10 mount any one of the
six. Every man, woman and child expected
that two or three men would be killed in the ex
pertinent. Over two thousand carriages were
of 10000 people braved the dripping rain.
Lord Dufferin and many ether dipomatiStS were
present in q special tribune, and among the
Romans were the wife of Premier Crispi, the
Duke de Torlonia, Nine. Depretis, Princess Col
ona, Countess Antenelli, Baroness de Reugis,

scions of all the noble houses. Two of the wild
horses were driven into the arena. They had
neither saddle nor bride Buffalo Bill announced
that they would be conquered In five minutes

around, while the vast crowd unmindful of the
rain roared and Shrieked with delight. Buffalo
