says the Springfield Republican, were

well as too generously served and the
lemonade too strong-very common
faults at these church sociables.

TOPEKA, Kan. Sept 90 Tho hrst

Whom the sovereign grand lodge Of
Odd Fellows met yesterday the petition
Of the Rebekahs for continuance was
given special hearing and by prac-
tically unanimous vote a substitute was
agreed upon which will do away with
national conventions
Mrs. Rea, the president said Of this
action: my only hope is that the repre-
sentatives who voted against us will not
be elected TO attend another grand
lodge meeting"
The amendment to the constitution
in regard TO the eligibility OF saloon
keepers was voted down by an over
whelming majority. This came up on
the case appealed from the Missouri
grand lodge which took action refusing
saloon keepers admission on the ground
that their business was not moral
The judiciary committee submitted
its reports on the cases OF Grand Master
Barnum, OF Illinois, and Captain Cen
eral Ellis, of the Patriarchs Militant.
In the Barnum case the committee over
ruled the grand sire and in the Ellis
case confirmed his ruling. The grand
lodge will act on both reports to-day.
The degree Of chivalry was conferred
on Mrs. Rea by the sovereign grand
lodge and the Daughters Of Rebekah
gave her handsome diamond ornament
emblematic of the order But the jewel
and the honor does not compensate for
the chagrin she feels at the action of
the grand lodge.
The finding in the Barnum case was
great victory for the Illinois grand mas
ter. He was peremptorily doposed from
Office by Grand Sire Underwood for re-
monstrating with the latter in regard TO
one of his decisions Barnum had re-
voked the charter of Chicago lodge
because it had refused to comply with
one of his orders The lodge appealed
to the grand sire and the charter was
restored. Then the grand sire removed
Barnum from office. The judiciary COM
mlttee held that grand master was SUI
preme in his jurisdiction and that all
complaints must pass through his hands
to the grand lodge
Captain-General Ellis, of the Patriarch
Militant, by virtue of the decision, is
suspended from office. October last
he issued an order declaring himself
lieutenant-general and generalissimo of
the Patriarchs Militant by virtue of a
decision of the grand lodge limiting the
years and providing for successor.
Grand Sire Underwood revoked the
order and suspended Ellis.
All OF the amendments which were
proposed to the constitution were voted
down. 1t ispot likely that any changes
whatever will be made.

arrested this morning and conveyed on
special train TO Tipperary, accom-
panied by large military escort
William O'Brlon was arrested at Glen
gariff and taken 10 Cork Warrants
have been issued for the arrest Of
Messrs Sheedy and Condor, members
OF the House Of Commons; Patrick
OBnen and Rev David Humphreys, Of
Tipperary.
The charges on which Mr.. Dillon was
arrested are conspiracy and melting the
tenants on the Smith-Barry estate not
TO pay their rents.
Mr.. Dillon was arrested at Bally-
brack, where he was visiting at the
house OF an uncle. He was at once
hurried, under strong guard and with
the utmost secrecy, to the railway sta
tion, where a special car was in waiting.
AS soon as he entered this the train was
started for Dublin. Only brief stop
was made in this CITY, when the pris-
oner was carried on to Tipperary, the
tenants OF which town no is charged
with having melted by his speeches to
refuse tho payment OF rent to their
landlord, Mr.. smith-Barry
The arrest OF William O'Brien was
made at the Glengariif Hotel. Mrs.
OBrien was present The charges
against Mr.. O'Brien are similar TO those
on which Mr. Dillon was arrested
These charges are based on speeches
made by him at Limerick and Tippe-
rary in which, n is alleged, he advised
his auditors not to pay rent. From
GlengariG, which is at the head OF
Bantry bay and not far from Cork, Mr.
O'Brien was Immediately carried to that
city.
Here in Dublin the police are keeping
a strict watch OF the headquarters of
the Land League. Persons entering or
leaving are subjected to close scrutiny.
Dispatches from Tipperary report that
the organizers of the local branch OF
the league there are under close police
surveillance and are being constantly
shadowed.
This sudden action OF the Government
has fallen like a bolt from clear sky.
The Irish Nationalists had no suspicion
Of the impending blow and are at loss
to know what it portends. Mingled sur
prise and Indignation are the predomi-
mating feelings at Dublin.
Dispatches from various parts of Ire
land indicate that the Nationalists are
everywhere greatly excited at the ar
rests.
