And far and wide the ice fields bloom,

STORY OF THE ESCAPE
How 0'Brien and Dillon
Crossed the Channel.
Making Preparations for the
Funeral of Gen. Belknap.
Object Of the Nationalist Visit
to America.

DUBLIN. Oct. 15.-United Ireland
prints an account of the escape of Dillon
and O'Brien written by O'Brien himself.
He says; I'VE rowed from Oakley
Wednesday midnight in a Yacht lying two
miles off the shore. Next morning
found us ninety miles away towards the
Welsh coast. Friday and Saturday we
laid in a dead calm. On Sunday morn
ing VT landed at Lands End, when the
wind again died away and We were forced
to lie all day in the brilliant sunshine
within two miles of the shore. Trinity
house cutters passed quite close to us and
two of the Royal Adelaide" ofFalmouth
actually exchanged greetings with our
sailors.
The fog buried us from sight on Sun
day night, four steamer blowing fog
horns around us during the night. We
cleared the Lizard in the morning and
darted across for the French coast to out
wit the British shipping. We were be-
calmed again on Monday and obliged to
beat up the channel. Abrisk gale sprang
up on Monday while passing Guernsey.
Alter midnight we were apparently pur-
sued by a revenue cutter which, however,
was unable to weather the gale and aban-
doned the chase. In the morning we
were running free before the wind for
CherbOurg, where we landed at IL o'clock.
We had reached cur last days supply of
fresh water. All arrangements worked
perfectly, thanks to the prominent Dublin
citizen who superintended them. and we
had unparalleled good luck.
Mrs. O'Brien left Dublin this evening
to ioin her husband.

for T~wentY-SiN Years.

keenan, & Sons live stock report for

week the largest ever known In the Chr
cago market in one week, IS. 900 head.
We thought last week that we had enough
for any one week, bat this weeks receipts
take the banner so far. Talk about hard
markets and low prices, and hard work,
this week has been one of the worst ever
experienced in the twenty-six years that
we have been selling on this market.
Good, fat steers have not been hard to
sell. and the market is not to exceed Is to
20c lower, but the hardest to sell are, and
the greatest decline is on, steers of LOO
to l.400 pounds average, half to three
quarters fat; what a good many
shippers call fat before shipping. There
has been Just one load Of prime cattle on
the market this week out of $4,000 cattle
and they brought Ste. There has proba-
bly, been twenty loads that brought las
high as SC; probably 100 loads that
brought over 4lc; a good many that
brought 81 4O94.7 but three. fourths
Of the cattle on this market during the
week brought less than &c per pound.
Everybody is well supplied with all kinds
OF cattle except cattle that brings $3.50
and over.
Western range cattle in large receipts
and prices have declined every day. The
best grades have declined 25 cents during
the week, while common to fair grades
have declined from 400 SOC per cwt."
THE LEADER is pleased to say that the
market is better this week and that sew

There is no nut bearing tree which is
capable of being made more profitable
than the English walnut. The nut is
always in large and profitable demand,
and the tree is an unusually prolific
bearer. 1t is hardy and is readily grown,
bet seldom does at all well in far north
ern ATTITUDES. In the vicinity of Phila-
delphia we have seen a tree of this vari-
ETY. that produced annually about forty
or fifty bushels of fine, marketable nuts.
In Virginia and states in similar latitude
it should be made to pay handsomely.
Its widespread habits of growth make
it necessary to give it plenty of room,
and we should say that forty feet each
way, rather than less, should be accord
ed, the intervening space being utilized
with ash trees. The wood could no
doubt be used in many ways, and the
reason it has not been is from the fact
that there has never been enough of it to
enter into any of the calculations of
those who use valuable woods in manu-
facture. Its greatest value as a tree
consists in its nuts, which are second
only to almonds in commercial value. A
well set grove of these trees would be a
handsome sight.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Huston OF Indiana, will be appointed as
sistant secretary of the treasury to sue
coed Gen. Batchelder. recently appointed
minister to Portugal. MIR. Illusions name
was laid before the president some time
ago. and it is thought in circles near the
president that the appointment will be
made before the election. Ii he is not
appointed he intends to resign aud return
to Indiana before next spring. Huston is
at the head Of a large element of dissatis-
fed Republicans in Indiana, and 1t is
urged that his appointment to this posi-
ton will harmonic the party in that
state.

NEW YORK, Oct. I5.-Coufusing state
ments having appeared regarding the
American mission of the Irish leaders,
Mr.. t. p. Gill, a member of the delega-
ton now in the city. tonight made u def
mite statement to the Associated Press.
The other members of the delegation,
John Dillon, O'Brieu, T. p. O'Connor,
7. D. Sullivan and Timothy Harrington,
will be here within the next fortnight.
The object Of the mission which is form.
ally vested with the most complete repre-
sentative character and authority to speak
Tor Parnell and the Irish parliamentary
party and for the Irish people, is to APP
peal TO the Irish race and to all friends Of
Ireland IN America for support for the
struggle which the Irish people are m k
ing to protect their lives, homes and no
critics against the combined forces of Gu
ercion, landlordism and misgovern-
ment, and to advance the cause which has
for its goal the establishment of a native
legislature in Dublin which will enable the
Irish people to govern themselves and de-
velop the of their country and
the Irish nation to fulfill the destiny to
which her SONS believe she has been
called.
The delegates will, said Mr.. Gill, tn
the story of how that Struggle Is being
carried on, both on the soil Of ireland and
In spreading the home rule pr, paranda
among the electorate OF Great Bri.a;n.
They will explain the circumstances under
which a syndicate of Tory capitalists have
conspired with a coercion government and
the Irish landlords with the special view
OF exhaustiDg the pecuniary resources of
the national struggle. The delegates will
appeal for the support of all who can en-
dorse their position and who are willing,
If only in the interest OF fair play, to pre-
vent Ireland from being handicapped 10
the struggle for want of those sinews of
war which her wealthy enemies possess.
The delegates confidently look to the
people of their OWN race in America to
assume the duty of making the mission a
success, and hope to see every class and
section and body representative of the
Irish race cooperating unitedly and 10y
ally In this great effort for the sake of the
old land. Mr.. Gill wishes it understood
that much time will be saved if the Irish
Americans of various localities will enter
into communication with him at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, New York, regarding the
dates most suitable for meetings.

After a dance at the Jones ranch near
Iron Mountain last Friday a diamond set
brooch worn bv Miss jones was missed.
The jewel was found here yesterday at
Geo. Browns place, where it had been
left for resetting by Grant Schumacher, a
ranch employe who attended the ball.
The property was recovered by process of
law. Schumaker was in town and is still
here. No complaint was made against
him, but the report that he had stolen the
brooch was circulated pretty industriously.
The young man called at this office last
evening and presented his side of the
case. He found the near the
Jones ranch and showed it to a carpenter
whom he knew would return to Iron
Mountain. He had no idea ofthe jewel
ownership and kept it. The value was
