LONDON, Sept. l0.-Thc arrest OF thu
Irish leaders yesterday took conspicu
GUS place in the newspapers throughout
the United. Kingdom to-day. The vari
GUS explanations are surmised to accoun,
for Mr.. Balfour's sudden stroke. The
commonest one on the part OF tho Lib
eral press Is that its object was 10 pre-.
vent Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien from
going to America to arouse Americas
synpathy. The Conservatives, however,
scout the idea that Mr.. Baliour could
have acted from snch a motive. They
see in his present policy laudable ei.
fort to prevent the recurrence OF disorder
In ireland. Ga the whole one gets the
impression that the predominant public
opinion is 80 far extremely doubtful OF
the wisdom or cxpediency Of the Gov.
course.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.--The confer.
ees on the tariff bill this morning did not
touch upon matters Of public interest.
Sugar, binding twine and the tariff com.
mission clauses were not touched. 1t is
the understanding Of the Democratic
conterees as stated by one Of them to.
day, that the daily sessions OF the con.
ference are to be purely formal aud that
the points Of real importance at Issue are
to be brought forward only after the
Republican managers have adjusted
their differences. e.,
The general belief is now that the
conferees will hold their final session on
Monday, and that tho bill will be ready
to present to tho House Tuesday morn.

below Springfield are much less than
those received in Indiana and Southern

ward a natural adjustment Of prices, and
wheat Is 81 cents lower, corn !! cents
lower, lard und hogs shade lower, but
oats have risen fraction and nearly u
cent. Butter and some other farm pro.
ducts are higher.
The interior money markets are gen.
orally closer with strong demand, which
an unprecedented volume OF business
naturally causes. At Boston the strong
stringency affects trade somewhat, but
wool Ia In better demand, sales reaching
5,G93,000. Wool also shows improve.
ment at Philadelphia. The iron trade is
very active, and nailmakeis advanced
prices to 81 per keg.
Tho consumption Of iron Is enormous,
the largest ever known, but tho new
business in bar iron Is not heavy and
the demand for rails is dull with some
sales at $50, and reports Of others oven
lower. Pig iron is weaker, though
quotations do not change. -.
The great increase In sales OF wool
marks revival in the manufacture.
Dry goods business is growing in

O'5RlEN INTERVIEWED.
The Action OF tho Government Will Help
tho Irish Cnuhe In Americn.

The Action Of tho Government VIII Heir
! tho Irisi, Cnuso In An,~ricn.
LONDON, Sept. l9.-Mr. O'Brien, in an
interview this morning, said he could
not imagine.what infatuation had driven
the government to make the arrests. It
is easy to see, he thought, what they are
driving at. They are making a supreme
effort to crush out the organization Of
the tenants for concerted action. This
they expect to accomplish, he thought,
BY simultaneous clearances on all esteleB
where. the plan OF campaign had been
adopted. The ev;cted tenants they cal.
cula,e on thus having helpless at their
feet.
"But can such policy be auccesslul?"
Mr.. O'Brien was asked.
"No," he replied, "it is in my opinion
a piece OF inConceivable folly. But it
seems clear TO me that this il what the
government proposes to attempt"
ut is held by many" the correspond.
ent said, that the main purpose Of Mr..
Balfour's making the arrests at this time
is to prevent Mr.. Dillon aud you from
making your contemplated trip to
America"
THAT does not seem probable theory
to me" replied Mr.. O'Brien.
"But II it is true no more absurd cal
culation was ever made, even by the
present Chief Secretary for Ireland. Far
from preventing our appeal to America
he has made it for us in the most strik-
ing and impressive excuse. The story
Of these arrests will ring throughout
America like trumpet note, compared
with which, our voices would have been
feeble and ineffective. All Irish. Amer
leans know that Tipperary is the key to
the fight ior Ireland. They will take
care TO frustrate the dastardly calcula.
tions OF the government"
"What do you think, MIR. O'Btien,"
the correspondent asked, will be the
ultimate effect Of the governments
present course on the cause you repre-
Bent?"
ut will be altogether beneficial" Mr..
O'Brien replied without hesitation. "It
will close up the ranks Of our followers,
revive dropping courage and baniah
every shadow Of d;s5enslon. The com.
bination in Tipperary is absolutely im-
pregnable. 1t cannot be shaken"

the burning Of tho large brick machine

They cannot account for the origin Of the

patent self.oiliue car wheel, for use in
coal mines, beside large contracts for
wrought iron bridges. Their loss will

which will cover about half his loss.

LONDON, Sept. l0.-The Me,ss says:
''BAlfour has met Ireland's famine ap.
peal after his fashion, and has commit.
ted an act Of stupendous folly. We are
slow to believe him stupid enough to
desire to prevent the mission OF Dillon
and o. Brien to America, because others
are going in their stead, and will meet
with splendid reception. 1t is diff.
cult indeed to assign any rational mo.
tive" r- n
The Chronicle says: "The Psrnelites
Say regarding Balfour's indifference that
they have at last drawn the badger. He
probably intended to avert disorder in
Ireland, for 1t is unlikely that he wan ted
to prevent Dillon and o 'Brien from 20.
inR, and 80 send Parnell or others to
America"
The Telegraph justifies the arrests. It
says the Parnellises are becoming more
daring in tho face Of the supposed
sqpipeness nl tho government.
