TORIES CAUGHT MAPPING.
Parnellites Push the Irish Labor

dfuCitItcS EuSu the AFISn hdDOL
ers Bill to Second Reading.
LONDON, May 14.-In the house of
commons to-day Joseph f. Fox, Nation
alist, moved the second reading of the
Irish agricultural laborers bill, propos-
ing the use of the church surplus to
erect cottages for the laborers. William
Johnston, Conservative member for
South Belfast, moved the rejection of
the bill. The church surplus, he said,
was not sufficient to cover the charges
of the land bill and the laborerS bill.
ID. K. PIunkett, Conservative member
for Dublin university, said the Parnell-
ties had assembled ia the house in full
force at time when most of the other
members were absent in order to get the
bills read and destroy the laborers
clauses in the land purchase
bill. T. W. Russell, Unionist men,
Der for South Tyrone, moved to
adjourn. Not single clause of the
bill. he said. had been explained. Mr.,
BalfOur commented On the silence of the
Irish leader and supported Mr.. RuSSelPs
motion to adjourn and it was lOst-95 to
68. Mr.. ParnelI moved that the ques-
ton of the second reading of the bill be
now put. The speaker declined to put
the question. it being obvious that the
house desired to continue the debate.
Mr.. Balfour said the Parnellites merely
desired to embarrass the government
and injure the land purchase bill. The
conditions under which the bill was
being debated would deprive the vote
on its second reading of all significance.
The second reading was then agreed to
without division amid prolonged Irish
cheers.

OLDER AUTHORITY.

The German Lutheran societies in
Northern Illinois insist that they will
carry the compulsory education law of
the state INTO politics so far as not to
support any candidate for the legisla-
ture not pledged to vote for the material
modification of the act. They do not
object to compulsory attendance, OF the
use of the English language in part of
the course; but the law requires about
all the common school course to be in
English, and puts certain officials in a
position to become very annoying. In
a recent case IN one of the counties, the
court decided against the truant officer
in the enforcement of the law, and inn
posed a fine for assault and battery.
The mother kept the boy out of school
to send him down town on an errand,

CEDAR KEYS, Fla, May 14.-Fous
deputy United States marshals arrived
here late last night for the purpose Of
arresting Mayor Cottrell and his
marshal. Mitchell, on the charge of
aSsaulting Customs Collector Pinkerton
and interfering with him in the proSecu-
ton of government business. This
action of the government authori-
ties is the result of a long series
of outrageS perpetrated by Cottrell
in most of which he has been aided and
abetted by Marshal Mitchell. A gem
uine reign of terror has existed here.
the full detailsupf which will probably
never be known until Cottrell is safe
behind the bars, for the people do not
dare to speak against him so long as
he is at liberty. The United States
officers succeeded in arresting Mitch
ell this morning, but Cottrell was APP
prised of their coming and is now in
hiding. They are Oh his trail, however,
and hope to arrest him soon. Cottrell,
besides the Office of mayor, has been in
spector of customs. He had charges
preferred against him at the treasury
department at Washington and was
forced to resign his position. This was
after the appointment of Collector Pink.
erton by President Harrison. A week
ago Cottrell met Pinkerton and asked
him to open the custom house to get
something he had left there. Pinker-
ton refused, as it was after Office hours.
COttrell then threatened Pinkerton'S
life, and COttrell gave notice that if he
appeared on the streets Of Cedar Keys
he would be shot by COttrell. Pinker-
ton did not leave the house for q day
or two, and Cottrell tried to persuade a
negro to go in and pull him out. The
negro refused, and was beaten by Cot
trell. Pinkerton was kept from going
to the Office by the fact that COttrell
was cunning for him on the streets, and
the business of the government was
thus seriously interfered with. For
about year Cottrell has been terror
to the citizens here. He has compelled
negro to beat a telegraph operator
and has threatened to thrash women
whose husbands had incurred his dis
pleasure; he has kept men locked
up in Jail for days at a time
for no cause whatever; has pa.
raded the streets with a loaded shot.

came in his way; has shot at the light
house keeper i'll the streets; has cut
another man with jackknife, and has
actually forced reelection as mayor.
because it was worth mans life to
vote against him. Those who know
COttrell best say he will never be taken
alive, and it is rumored tonight that he
will come to town and attempt the res
cue of Marshal Mitchell.
