Campbell Asked to Remove Members of the
Board of Public Works.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
COLUMBUS, September Ex-Governor
Campbell has received a number of tele-
grams to-day calling upon him to remove
three members of the Board of Public In
provements at Cincinnati. They are charged,
it Is said, by citizens with misfeasance in
Office and selling their votes for gain in
various ways in connection with the public
Improvements. The Governor declines to
talk direct upon the subject, but it is learned
he has been receiving communications for
some time in regard to the conduct of the
board. The members referred to are
Reemelin, Durham and Montgomery.
Reemelin is said to be the more deeply in
volved.
While the Governor refuses to state what
he will do, it is learned from another source
he will take steps looking to the removal of
the Objectionable members. The Legisla-
ture at the last session, changed the law gov
erning the old Board Of Public Affairs so
that the Governor could mot remove menu
bers and placed that power in the Probate
Court. This change was made because
Governor Foraker had removed one of his
appointees on the board. It is learned that
Campbell considers it necessary for his own
reputation that the members shall be dis
posed of. 1t is stated that the alleged
erookedness reaches to the entire Democratic
organization of Cincinnati and Hamilton
county, but there has nothing as yet been de-
veloped to substantiate this report

bnry rs to Behring sea.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
OTTAWA, September 26.-British Colum-
bia advices received to-day say it is reported
in Victoria, on what is considered high
authority, that the Governments Of Great
Britain and the United States have estab-
lished a modus vivendi in respect to
Behring Sea, which will remain in effect
during next year, or until negotiations
looking to complete settlement of the seal
fishery dispute can be carried to a sati sfac-
tory conclusion. The report says the two Gov
ernments have agreed to a close season on
Behring Sea during the year 1891, by which
time it is expected the question OF jurisdlc-
tion and protection to the seal will be set
tied either by mutual agreement or arbitra-
tion. The proposition, the report says, came
from the British Government. The pres
ence of the American cruiser Charleston
in Puget Sound and half dozen British
men-ot-war lying in neighboring waters,
brought forcibly to the mind of the
statesmen of both nations the re-
sponsibility of the situation and the
imminent danger of an explosion. The de-
cision of the United States Government ar
rived at after the departure of their cutters
for Behring Sea, not to make seiz-
ures this year, was result, 1t Is
said of this agreement. 1t Is i'm
possible to obtain q confirmation or
denial of the report here, as members OF the
Cabinet appear to have awakened to degree
of reticence regarding the Behring Sea
question they have hitherto not observed.

TBY DUNLAP'S CABLE COmfANI.J
TIPPERARY, September 26.-Things are
quieter to-day, although military and police
still hold possession of the streets outside the
Court House, and the main roads are con-
stantly patrolled. There is, however, re-
markable change in the demeanor OF the
police, who now look cowed and ashamed.
The events of yesterday now appear to be
much worse than they were originally re-
ported. In addition to Mr.. Harrington,
whose skull was cracked, as already an
nounced, Mr. Patrick O'Brien has received
such severe injuries that he is unable to
move alone. The man Kehan, from Cashel,
is still in danger and it is very possible he
will die. Another tenant of the Smith
Barry estate, Thomas Meagher, is badly
hurt and is confined to his bed. The others
who have been injured are progressing
favorably except boy, who is lying in
critical state.
The proceedings in the court to-day were
dull after yesterdays greatexcitement. The
only incident Of note was Mr.. Healy's
angry protest againts the defendants being
treated with every indignity. MIR. Dillon
and Mr.. O'BrIen were both absent at the
beginning of the proceedings. The speech
of Mr.. Roman, the solicitor for the Grown,
occupied the whole of the day. The court
room was not filled and there was no crowd
outside except the military and the police.
The case is expected to last for several
days. The arrangements of Mr.. O'Brien
and Mr.. Dillon are that they are to sail on
Thursday next for America, so the matter
resolves itself into a race of time be-
tween the two sides, or as Mr.. O'BrieR says,
"between the counsel for the Crown and our
ship"

cried when she received the news, but it did
not appear to distress her family so much.
They said that the only grief they knew
him to have was that be couldn't afford to
buy an engagement ring.

understanding that all gambling in the fut-
ure will be prohibited.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
DENVER, September 26.-Sensational re-
ports were received here to-day from Null
len, Idaho, to the effect that tine settlers
within a radius of 80 miles had organized
for the purpose of wiping out Of
existence the Nez Perces Indians,
who for months have been burning
houses, scalping the innocent children and
assauiting defenseless women. In 1887,
under Chief Joseph, an onslaught was made
by these Indians upon settlers. Several
days ago more than 200 were camped
near Mullen, and near the scene
of the first outrage of the year.
They had 400 ponies, many squaws and
papooses and several painted warriors.
They say that the whites have no right to
that country and they requested them to
leave, as this was their camping ground be-
fore they were removed 10 the reservation at
Lapivai, not far from LewIstown.
The settlers, in Comas Prairie, in North
Idaho, where, in 1887, the great depreda-

uprising might occur, have now organized,
it is said, and the first unfsyorable report
that reaches them will put an end to any
further depredations on the part Of the
Indians.

Thomas, in an interview to-day regarding
the recent manifesto of President Wiiford
Woodruff, of the Mormon church, discoun-
tenancing plural marriages. said: SIT is i'm
possible now to give a definite opinion of
the purpose or effect of this proclamation.
If it is put forward and here
after observed in good faith, it is
an important step and will do much
to remove one of the political objections to
Mormonism. The general sentiment is a
hope that it is made in good faith. Many
things, however, lead to doubt among
which may be named the present political
situation, the tact that it does not come in
the usual channel, and its studious and in
definite language.
"The semi-annual conference of the
churcSwil soon be held, which has the
power to place the church on record in un-
ambiguous language. For myself I pro-
pose to await developments, and in the
meantime hope it is step taken in good
faith"
