The near horse swerves across the
course of the other, who runs him down
and falls over him. There they lie in a
struggling heap, the timber swung half
round, turned over or its side and the
cartridges all rolling and tumbling out of
the box.
"Glad 1 had the old umbrella after
all - he thinks as he shuts it up but
what are they all making such a fuss
about? Here comes Capt. Grimes, look
ing as if he were crazy! Is he mad be-

killed a lot of the deaf-and-dumbs in
less than a quarter OF a minute. And
here comes the principal. shouting.
where's the boy with the umbrella?'
He won t blame me, anyhow!'
Capt. Grimes gets to him first, seiZes
him by the arms, hugs him and lifts him
up square on bis back, one short leg over
each shoulder. And he shouts:
"Here you are, professor! Here's
the young heroi That's the kind of a
boy we grow on the Western reserve. :"
"Capt. Grimes, hadn't you better put
me down and tend to your horses?'
"Oh, hang the horses!' Gle didn't
say Chang but he was a rough man,
though he had a good heart).
Why, if you'll believe me, they made
Jerry sit on the platform, umbrella n
all, and whenever they spoke of him the
people cheered until they were hoarse,
and he could see his mother sitting with
her handkerchief to her eyes almost all
the time, while people kept crowding
around and shaking hands with her and
Uncle John; and uncle was fairly red in
the face with, cheering and excitement.
Jerry was glad when eating time came
and he could go to his mother and give
Uncle John the umbrella, because uncle
had nothing to carry now. Only he felt
foolish at the top of the long table when
the people all banged their knives on the
table and the band played:
See, the conquering hero comes.
Any time while Capt: Grimes was CAR
ryIng him plck-a-pack he could have
whispered: ''Bill spoiled my mill

said a word about it from that day to

A Stable Boss Helps Himself to Jewelry Be-

Gently moved from Texas to Pittsburg. He
had secured a house in the East E nd, but as
it was not quite ready for Occupancy, made
arrangements to have his household
goods stored in Mr.. Blanks stables
on Penn avenue for short time. The
goods arrived early in the week and were
stored in the stable.
On Wednesday it was noticed that a trunk
had been tampered with. This led to an ex-
animation, when it was found that five
trunks had been opened and part of their
contents taken. Rowe was stable boss, and
was suspected of being the thief. The mat
ter was kept quiet and a watch set. It re-
suited IN finding some of the
stolen jewelry in the possession of
girl on Frankstown avenue, a
friend of Rowe's. The arrest of Rowe
followed yesterday. The police recovered
two pairs of gold bracelets, coral cross. a
coral breastpiu, two pairs of gold earrings,
two gold breastpins. pearl scarf pin, a pair
of seal cuff buttons, two garnet finger rings,
pair of diamond earrings, pair of gold
drop earrings, two pairs OF coral earrings.
Besides this. large quantity OF valuable
clothing, chiefly for women's wear, was re-
covered. Rowe had systematically searched
the trunks and taken the articles that best
suited him. The goods stolen we're valued
at over $500.

THE LATEST LAND RAID.
THE OPENING OF A SMALL TRACT FOR
SETTLEMENT YESTERDAY.
Excited Home and Claim Seekers In Line
Before a Wisconsin Court House-Militia
Called Out to Preserve Order, and Prob
ably Prevented Bloodshed.

WAUsAU, WIS, Dec. .20.-The great
raid on the Land Office to file claims on
land in the great Reservoir strip began at 9
o'clock. Thus far the filing has proceeded
without disturbance. At an early hour this
morning Mayor Mueller directed Captain
Bells, of the Wausau Light Guard to
march his company to the Court House
Square to preserve order, and 40 blue coats
with glistening bayonets took up station
close to the Land Office.
The arrival of the militia put an effective
damper on the homesteaders, who could not
get in line, and everything was peace and
quiet when Register Saunders slid the
5000 acres Of the best land in the strip, had
been filed, and 100 men were still standing
at the wicket
Besides having to contest with squatters,
the men who had filed claims this morning
will probably have to go to law with Byron
S. Hamilton, a Wausau lawyer, who walked
into the Land Office shortly before o'clock
and laid down au application with the
necessary fees, and rendered them to the re-
ceiver The tender was refused, and Ham
-ilton announced his purpose of bringing
suit.
At Eau Claire there was almost a riot.
Ine WINDOWS OF tine land ONCE were
smashed, but the land officers succeeded in
quelllng the disturbance. The trouble was
caused by policeman who was stationed at
the wicket to preserve order filing a claim
for himself His application was refused.

The people were taken by surprise when
Mayor Grant appointed Patrick Diver the
other DAY to be Police Justice. They held
up their hands in holy horror and asked
each other in a bassoon tone of voice whether
New York is going to the ''demnition bow
vows"
But why this moaning and mourning?
Didn't we all pull our jackets off on cleo
tion day and run Tammany into power with
a landslide majority? Why, we have dim
recollection that even the great Herald
thought it was on the whole about the
wisest thing to do. To be sure we haven't
boasted very much that we were the particu-
lar paper that elected Grant, though, of
course, we did do it, as everybody knows.
But if we all went to the polls and gave the
city-body, soul and boots-to the tender
mercies of Tammany, to be used by its big
chems for personal emolument and gain,
whysdo we growl and grumble?

QUEENSTOWN, Dec. 2O.-Timothy Har-
rington, who arrived here on the Aurania
this evening after good passage, said. In
the course of an interview with Dunlap
reporter: 'The receipt OF the news Of tine
split in the Irish party completely paralyzed
the mission ofthe delegates"
"Do you think, Mr.. Harrington, that
there was any way of preventing the divi-
sion in the party?.'
YES" he replied. s'In my opinion the
disruption of the party would have been
avoided if Mr.. Parnell could have seen his
way to retire from the leadership for = short
tIme'
ado you think any good will come of the
approaching interview between Mr.. O'Brien
and Mr.. Parnell in Paris?"
"Well, am not by any means sanguine
on the result that will be obtained. But
even if the Irish party be divided into two
sections in Parliament, so long as both of
them agitate for the same cause and object,
l do not think the home rule question would
suffer-
Continuing, he said: "I must confess 1
regret exceedingly to hear of the personali-
ties which have been INDUCED in by Mr..
Parnell, but think he was justified in his
action against United Ireland, which is his
own property"
He said that the result of the Kilkenny
election, favorable or otherwise, would not
prevent ParnelPs interview with O'Brien
from taking place.
On landing, Mr.. Harrington was met BY

the Mayor OF Cork and two brass ba nds, play

A FORCIBLE POLICY
TO BE RECOMMENDED IN THE BEHR1NG
SEA DISPUTE

BY President Harrison in a Message to Con-
gress-No Further Dilly-Dallying With
Lord Salisbury-A Strict Enforcement Of
the Sealing Laws.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-President Harri-
son expects to accompany his transmission
to Congress, of the further papers relating
to the Behring Sea controversy with a
special message of some length.
In this message he will express his views
respecting the rights and claims of the
United States connected with the seal fish,
ery, the comparative merits of the conduct
and position of the two Governments since
the first seizures in 1856. and the duty OF
Congress in the present position on the
question.
The message will be framed with especial
reference to the now pending proposal OF
the British Government for an arbitration,
which proposal it is intended to reject be-
fore any communication is made to Con-
gress.
The rejection of the proposal will effect a
practical, if not complete, suspension of
diplomatic efforts for a settlement, there
being no expectation that either Government
will bring forward any offer for renewal
OF negotiations. The personal bitterness be-
tween Mr.. Blame and Lord Salisbury that
has arisen ont of the course OF the
negotiations is perceived here to
constitute a material objection to continu-
ance of efforts toward a settlement especial
ly after the diplomatic relations between the
two governments shall have been further
strained by the energetic manner in which
Mr.. Blaine is preparing to show up the hol-
lowness and uniairness of the British arbi-
tration project.
1t is because of the seemingly hopeless
ness of the prospect of settlement by peace
full means, and OF the necessity of almost in
stantly resolving upon a new course of con-
duet for the United States, that the Presi-
dent has determined to lay the matter fully
before Congress and to apply tor legislative
assistance in shaping and enforcing the
policy of the immediate future.
The President will give Congress dis
tinctly to understand that in the present
state of the matter he perceives neither
authority nor reason to abstain next season
from literal enforcement OF the provisions
of law for the protection of the iur seal in
Alaska and the waters thereof. He will ask
Congress for a liberal appropriation to meet
the expense of fitting out chartered vessels,
10 serve as revenue vessels, in sufficient
number aud character to capture and dis
pose of the numerous marauding vessels ex-
pected to enter Behring Sea nexl June and
July.
