THE LAND LEAGUE SPEAKS.
THE NATIONAL COUNCIL IN SESSION At
/, go. CINCINNATI

Stirring Resolution Denouncing the British
Government for the Dillon and O'Brien
Arrests Adopted-A Tribute 10 O'Reilly.
CINCINNATI, September 23.-At the
| meeting of the National Council Of the
Irish National League the business to-day
was private, but the following resolutions
were adopted, the session adjourning till to-
morrow:
WHEREAS, The National Council of the
Irish National League of Amerca, assembled
at Cincinnati, knowing of the arrest of John
Dillon and William O'Brien by the British
Government. desire to express themselves
upon this episode of Great Britain's old-time
determination to destroy the people, while it
suppresses free speech; therefore, be it
Resolved That acting within the scope of
the policy laid down by Mr.. Parnell and his
associates. we renew earnestly and emphatic
ally our determination to meet this new stroke
Of Ireland's foreign rulers with earnest
activity and more liberal support; and to
exhibit to our American fellow-citizens this
latest phase of British brutality as an over,
mastering proof of England's incapacity fairly
to govern Ireland.
Resolved, That while a constitutional agita-
tion is tasking the energy, ability and unscru-
pulousness of Ireland's Governors to overcome
fearing that any number of arrests will be able
to hide the fact that the Tory Government is
trying to murder the people of Ireland in the
dark, and that out of that knowledge must
speedily come from civilized communities an
irresistible demand for home rule.
Resolved. By long experience. that we know
how to appreciate the great services Of Dillon
and OBrien, feeling that the spectacle of their
country, self-governing nation. is the only
acknowledgement of their services which they
desire.
Resolved, Thatwe hereby proclaim the fact
that the only reason for the arrest of these
patriots is the circumstance that they endeav-
ored to avert.what may prove to be the fourth
State-made famine in the reign of Queen
Victoria. and told the people that their duties
were to themselves and families first. and that
the man who would see his wife and child
starve for want of bread while he handed over
the proceeds of his labor TO the landlord, is not
only coward, but a criminal
Resolved. That we sincerely deplore the
death of John Boyle O'Reily, in whose demise
Ireland has lost a true and tried patriot, the
Irish race grand exemplar, America gifted
poet and author, and humanity brilliunt ad-
vocate of universal liberty and justice.
To-day's session continued till nearly
o'clock tonight.

PANAMA, September 23.-Three-fourths
of Colon has been destroyed. The fire broke
out at midnight. and was not under control
until Z A. M. 1t is reported that 80 carloads

persons. Reinforcements of police have
been dispatched from here. A supply of
food has also been sent. Everything is re-
ported quiet now.
The fire commenced shortly after midnight

to the time when it burned itself out, near
the market, the fire fed on immense quanti-
ties of alcohol, spirits. petroleum and other
infammable materials, and was en-
tirely beyond control. 1t swept away
every business place. store and private resi-
dence in the way, westerly through Fifth

about $50 buildings were destroyed, includ-
ing nearly all the public buildings.

Total o'z
If there WASH t scientific ball at Recreation
Park yesterday there was certainly lots of
fun. The home and the New York n. L.
teams played two games during the after
noon. 1t is not unfair to say that both the
contests combined did not rise to the dignity
of a burlesque. There were 726 people in the
park, and the weather was ali that could be
desired.
The first contest was somewhat close up to
the eighth inning, when the visitors earned
two runs by good hitting and base running.
Three were made in the inning, but the first
was the result of base on balls. Smith pitched
good game and Sharrotts efforts in the box
were only moderate. The representatives of
New York were a moderate lot altogether, as
Denny was absent, and Rusie and Burkett were
in the field.
The second game, however was one that will
not be forgotten by those who saw it. Burkett
assayed TO pitch for the visitors and Anderson
for the home players. In the rstinning ADder-
Son was walioped for six hits and five runs.
After that be did very well.
Burkett was somewhat wild until he reached
the sixth inning, and he seemed to collapse en-
tirely. During the inning he gave five men
bases on balls, forcing two runs in. This was
awful and the crowd yelled like Indians in war
time. Glasscock called halt and sent Burkett
out to left field and Rusie went to pitch. Rusie
was also in bad form and he pitched wildly.
The crowd continued to yell and Glasscock
vainly appealed to the umpire for quiet How
ever, both Burkett and Rusie combined were
not wild enough to make the home players win,
and although they were presented with six
runs, they could not get three for themselves.
The visitors tielded very well or else victory
might have been on Pittsburg's side Such was
not to be the case, howeves and the visitors Sc
cured two Of the most ragged victories they
have ever laid hands on. The scores:

ANOTHER STARTLING RUMoR.

The Louisville Clab said TO Have Arranged
Games With Boaton p. L. Club.
Another rumor has been started in baseball
circles. 1t is to the effect that the Louisville
American Association club will play a series of
what will be called championship games with
the Boston P. l. club. 1t is now almost cer-
tainty that both the clubs named will win their
respective pennants-that is. the pennants of
their respective organizations. A local p. l.
authority stated last evening that the arrange
ment was as good as settled, and that Louis
vile had resolved to ignore the national agree
ment.
Director 0'Neil of the local N. L club.
and Manager Mutrie, of the New York club,
do not believe the rumor. Mr.. Mutrie says
that such a step would ruin Louisville's club.
There is however, good reason for believing
that the Louisville club is inclined TO make
such an arrangement if it has not done SO
already

The Suffrage Question at jackson Presents
Another Officially.
JACKSON, MISS, September 23.-The
convention struck another snag to-day, but
for which the suffrage question would have
been finally disposed o! before the hour of
adjournment. Everything proceeded
smoothly until section of the article of
election of county officers was reached.
Under the operation of this section all
county officers whose terms expire January,
1892 are granted two-years' additional
term of Office without the necessity of an
election by the people. As soon as the Sec
ton was read amendments and substitutes
began to pour in and an animated discussion
followed. .. -..
After protracted debate substitute hos
tile to the interest and purpose OF the pend
ing section was tabled bv vote of 62 to 81,
whereupon the convention, at P. M, ad-
journed till tomorrow.

ALETTER FROM SHERMAN
WHICH MAKES CANADA DREAD THE
EFFECT OF THE MKINLEY BILL.

Goodwin Smith Talks to the Commercial
Union C1ub-The Senator Talks on the
Annexation Question-Uncle Sam Not
Covetous of the Dominion.
TORONTO, September 23.-The CONNER
cial Union Club held its annual meeting to-
night. Goldwin Smith, President of the
club, delivered an address, in which he re-
ferred to the present political and COM
mercial situation. The Mckinley bill,
he said, is great disaster, and
will be felt much more. by Canadian farm
ers than by those having nothing personally
to lose by it, who can afford to receive it
with trumpet notes of patriotic defiance. OF
course Canada will survive, though
the industrial energy and fortitude
of her people will be severely tried.
England survived under protection, but she
has trebled her wealth under free trade. The
Mckinley bill is not pointed against
Canada. It is a measure of domestic, not os
foreign, policy. In proof of this Mr.. Smith
read the following letter written by Senator
Sherman to Mr.. E. WImau:
SENATE CHAMBER. WAsHINGToN. I
September l5, 1890
DEAR SIR-Your note of the 18th inclosing
one from Mr.. Goodwin Smith is re,
ceived. The provisions of the Mckinley BILL
no doubt do apply with some severity
to Canada, but the bill is general in its appica-
ton to all countries. 1t is no doubt high pro.
tective tariff and will test the policy of such n
law. 1t is not especially aimed at Canada
but is general in its terms 1 do be-
lieve that with little forbes rance and mod
GRAFTON on both sides of the line the feeling
will become universal here that special ar,
rangement for reciprocity. and trade should be
entered into between the two countries.
There is no purpose to WACO com
merc1al war on the Dominion
of Canada with view to force
annexation. Such a thought, suppose never
entered the mind of a member of Congress, If
there is any feeling here for annexation il
grows out of the belief that annexation would
be better for the people of both countries and
not from q wish to annex or conquer. or
persuade the people of Canada to become a
part of the United States. intend at the first
opportune moment to offer q resolution for
reciprocity, and test the sense of the Senate.
Yours very truly,
JOHN SHERMAN.
Mr.. Smith said that Mr.. Sherman's state
ments we're corroborated by all that he could
learn from other quarters. The notion. he
continued, that Americans are ALWAYS
fixing greedy eyes on Canada and plotting
against her independence. is one of which
we may clear our minds. Whatever in
feeling there is on the part of the United
States Is against Great Britain. not Canada.
