Views of the London Papers on the
COMMISSIONER Report.

Views of the London Papers on the
Commissioners Report.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-The high. class
weeklies are mainly Tory in their poll
tics, and some of them out-H -Herod
Herod in their strenuous endeavors to
show that the Times and the Govern
ment are right and that the
Parnellites are the most aban-
doned of men. They take q
view of the commissions report en-
tirely unfavorable TO Mr.. Parnell. The
Spectator, for example, holds that the
report will have a great effect in con-
vincing the country that the popular
party in Ireland is controlled by forces
which are radically opposed to the
union.
The Economist defes "The most
hide bound partisaus to blame the Gov
erDment for striving TO put down a
criminal conspiracy. which was Grim
inal both in its objects and in its mode
of action, and to relieve the people of
Ireland from an intolorable tyranny
maintained by murder and outrages.
The Saturday ReDIeto says that "The
report ought TO convince the nation that
the members Of the English party,
which is allied with men whose acts
and language the commission de-
nounces, has forfeited all claim to the
confidence, and even the respect, of
their fellow w-countrymen."
Such wild and whirring words as
these naturally serve to bring the organs
of the Government into some contempt,
because their violence and unreasoning
vituperation are like slap in the face
to the common sense of the English
/ people. They are helping the Liberal
party and the Irish cause good deal.
The Standard says: The condemned
Parnellites may make themselves easy.
We trust the government will not be so
ill.advised as 10 allow themselves
to be inveigled into starting a
state prosecution, which would
promptly be laid hold of for party pur-
poses. There is nothing to be gained
by such a proceeding, These men are
the chosen friends of men who have
held the highest offices in the State, and
therefore it would be folly on the par,
of the Government to prosecute them.

The New York League Club is ar
ranging series of games with college

Worcester and Providence.
The baseball season in Texas will

PusllIstIc Talk.

A deep interest is being taken in
pugilism in this city, but there is very
little active work to stimulate it just at
present. Young and Fielden are still
talking Of match, but doing nothing
else. The delay, however, Is due to
Young, who, while asserting that he
is willing to meet Fielden under any
circumstances or conditions, has failed
too cover Fielden's forfeit money.
There is little doubt, however, that the
two will be brought together, as there
is more interest centered in the pro.
posed match than in any event that
could take place near here.
If Young fails 10 come TO time Fielden
will endeavor TO secure a fight with
some of the better known light weights,
possibly Billy Dacey. Mike Reidy has
made match with Collins of Whining
ton, Del. Reidy is an honest and am-
bilious fighter, and the fight should be
a good one.
There is some talk of fight between
Mike Bulger and Billy Nally, growing
out Of the little unpleasantness on last
Tuesday. On this occasion Nally, who
was acting rs q second for o O'Rourke,
proposed to fight Bulger us soon as the
one then in progress was over. Bulger
replied that he would be able to see
Mr.. Nally in two weeks, and now the
friends of the two are attempting to ar
range match.
Galney also is talking of having
another meeting with ORourke, but
there is little prospect that that is all
he will do.

RIGHTS OF OoLoRED MEN.
Periodically They Test Them in the
leading Hotels.

Leading Hotels.
The hotel. keepers and restaurateurs
of this city have come to dread any
publication which will call at
tcntion to the constitutional rights of
the colored man. They say that an
element exists in the race, whose object
seems to be the testing of the extent of
privilege. There are apparently very
few colored people who find their way
to cafe tables through an ignorance of
custom. Recent publications in THE
CRlTIc concerning the incident at the
Riggs House have called out the indie
pendent class and several restaurants
have had experiences with colored
people. In some cases these have been
disposed Of as a matter Of course; in
others the Objectionable patronage has
had its own patience and perseverance
tested.
At a prominent cafe on Fifteenth
street well dressed coored man seated
himself at conspicuous table and
called a waiter. The proprietor ap-
preached the would-be guest and
quietly and automatically informed
him of the objection to serving colOrel
people. The man asked to be served,
and stated he was Baptist minister
from Boston, unacQuainted with the
custom. a waiter served the luuch de-
sired.
The guest left with pleasant remarks
for the unusual courtesy extended. The
next day, during the afternoon, the
minister returned, accompanied by his
wife. Both took seats at table. The
culinary department was appealed to
and the dinner OF turkey and other sub
stantials was literally seasoned with
red pepper, Even the tea lost its flavor
! in the spicery of the entrees, while the
| vegetables surrendered their individu-
| ality to the general distinctive taste
A protest from the guest followed
| the serving of dinner, and as his obiec-
ton found vehement expression, the op-
portunity was used as an excuse to
order him from the cafe. Yesterday
he sent postal card to the proprietor,
threatening TO break a cane over his
! head, and signing it "a man your
/ equal, the minister you refused to
serve.
At Fussell's 5 cafe an experience is re-
! called with a former Secretary of the
| IIaytien Legation. This official made
himself conspicuously undesirable on
one occasion and addressed violent
language TO the proprietor. A police
man was summoned and by prear-
ranged tactics frightened the secretary
into something like compliance. When,
later, he became acquainted with the
fact that diplomats were not subject to
police rules and regulations, he has
regretted his ready surrender.
This will indicate the practices which
are occasionally resorted to by hote
proprietors to preserve their dining
rooms from intrusions.
