Liquor Men Make 1t Hot for Their Pros
'ecutOrs in Manitoba.


WINNIPEG, June Yesterday, Rev.
Mr.. Mordy, well-known Winnipeg
divine, went to Portage to conduct
the prosecution of half dozen
hotel-keepers who had violated
the liquor laws. Mordy secured
their conviction, and when leaving the
court room was mobbed. He escaped
with slight injuries, taking refuge in the
Methodist parsonage. Later in the
day, when at the depot to take
the train for Winnipeg, he met
with warm reception, the liquor men
first covering his clothes with rotten
eggs and then assaulting him. He was
badly injured. Rev. Mr.. Duncan, who
went to his assistance, had his nose
broken and was otherwise badly ham
died. Winnipeg liquor men threaten to
renew the attack.

The Itata Not Expected to
Suffer Severely.
Her Punishment Likely to Be
In the Shape of Fines.
The Steamers Machinery In Bad
Condition for Sailing.
Her Omcers and Grew Not Apt to Jeop-
ardize Their Liberty by Return
ing to the United States.
Associated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Concerning the
Itata affair, Secretary Tracy said today
the next step will be to send the Itata
back to the United States to stand trial.
There is no expectation that the Off
GERS and crew of the Itata will jeopardize
their liberty by returning with the ves-
sci to San Diego, and, in fact, as it was
reported from Mexico that the.com-
nander OF the insurgent war ship Es-
meralda acted as captain of the Itata as
far as Acapulco, there are at least good
reasons why he must not return to the
United States.
WILL GET OFF EASY.
In official circles it is believed that the
Itata is not likely to suffer heavily as
the result of her escapade. Credence is
given to the statement telegraphed from
Chile that the vessel took the contra
band arms and ammunition from the
Robert and Minnie outside United States
jurisdiction. If this is true, the offense
against the neutrality laws is min
imized, and it is very doubtful
if case could be made out against
her in the present state OF uncertain
construction of the law. There is little
doubt that she can be held on other
charges, such as contempt of court, in
sailing away while under an Injunction,
kidnapping marshal and sailing with
out clearance papers; but these are
minor offences whose punishment is
likely to take the shape of fines, and
not to the length of the forfeiture Of the
vessel.
THE TRANSFER OF ARMS.
The only dispatch received at the navy
department. today from Admiral Nc
Cam, at Iquique, was one correcting the
statement as to the location of the Itata
when the arms were transferred from
the schooner Robert and Minnie. This
transfer, the dispatch says, took place
off San Clements islands few miles from
the coast, instead of off San Diego har-
Dor. The location of the transfer may
be of Importance in determining the
question of the jurisdiction, OF the,
United States court. ~

order again. The iunta alleges that the
arms and ammunition having been
transferred to the Itata near the island
of San Clemente, the American law was
not violated, and is making strong repre-
sentations to the United States govern
ment with view to getting possession
of the munitions. af
ORDERED SOUTH SOON.
SAN Francisco, June 5.-Admiral Va
lois, commanding the German squadron
which arrived here from Yokohama, en-
route to Chile, today, received instruc-
tions tonight to proceed south tomorrow
noon. Deeming it impossible to coal
and obtain provisions in so short time,
the admiral cabled to Berlin for an ex-
tension of time at least till Monday.
The officers express but little hope that
the request will be granted, and they
expect to leave here tomorrow with
short supply of coal, and proceed as far
as Panama at least.

PORTIONS TO BE SUSPENDED.

PORTIONS TO BE SUSPENDED.
LONDON, June 5.--[Copyright, 1891,
by the New York Associated Press. ]
Balfour's proposal to relax the coercion
act will not be explicitly announced in
the commons until next week, butenough
is known as to what the government in
tends to propose to justify the Conserya-
tives in feeling some little pride over the
results of Balfour's policy. All the
provisions of the crimes act directed
against criminal conspiracy will be
withdrawn, while other provisions,
notably the secret inquiry section, will
be retained.
Balfour's first statement that while
there are 30l9 prisoners in Ireland who
were sentenced under the crimes act, it
has been the occasion in the Unionist
press OF letting contracts with the coer-
cion policy under Gladstone, when the
prisons were full. In the face OF prison
statistics, and in the face also
of the fact of absolute peace
in every district in Ireland and
cessation in the press and on the plat
form of expressions of discomfort, the
Gladstonians will find it difficult, to
respond to the Unionists' plans. The
accepted Liberal explanation is that the
pacifcation of Ireland is due as much to
Gladstone's policy of conciliation as to
Baifour's coercion. These explanations
ignore the Gladstonian predictions when
the crimes bill was under discussion in
parliament.
Doubtless number of causes operated
to associate the Balfour regime with the
steady cessation OF disorder, but his adj
ministration has seenth National league
broken to pieces. the plan of campaign
collapsed, and coercion suspended after
four years operation.
GLADsroNE's LATEST UTrERANcE
on home rule is his writing to the wom-
ans Liberal federation that the Irish
crisis is as acute as ever, and home rule
as fixed plank of the Liberal platform
as certain as ever, but that the Irish
questions are asleep as far as electoral
interest goes with quiescent Ireland.
THE LAND BILL
is still largely to occupy the house for
week. Balfour has sent message OF
peace and good will to, the evicted ten
ants in accepting the clause enabling
landlord to sell his holdings, over the
head of the man in possession, to an
evected tenant or his predecessor.
Evicted tenants can claim presumption
right, and will only be able to benefit
by the clause within six months after
the act passes, but the provision saves
from ruin many victims of the plan of
campaign.
THE BACCARAT REVELATIONS
have stirred to the deepest depths the
whole religious world. The news that
the prince of Wales is an habitual gamb-
Ter, taking supplies of cards and count
ers wherever he goes, has blasted every
chance of the nationals granting him
relief for his debts. The leading Bap-
tist organ compares the princes taste
for the race course and gambling, with
the noble example of his father who, if
living, would share the intense grief of
thousands of Engishmen.
THE NEWFOUNDLAND DELEGATES
have arrived at a satisfactory agreement
with the government for permanent
act to replace the three years measure
passed by the local legislature.

THRILLING WITH A TRUST.

Secretary FOSTER discusses the finan-
cial situation freely with reporter be-
cause he thinks it is wise to take the pub
lie into his confidence and be open and
frank with them. AS result of this
opennesS it is learned that the secre-
tary has no fears of deficit. because the
treasury has the greenback redemption
fund of Sl00,000,000 in gold, which, he
assures us, "the government can and
would use on pinch" When the re-
sumption of specie payments was the
problem to be solved Mr.. MCCULLoCH
urged that the government should do
what every prudent business man would
do, and which the wide diffusion of its
Obligations rendered it much easier for
the government to do than was posi-
BILE for any business man, and
that was to accumulate fund
for the redemption of its promises
to pay, arguing that it was more conf
dence in the ability of the government,
as with the man of affairs, to pay, than
the desire that it should pay, which
would bring the country to safe and
speedy resumption. Secretary SHER-
MAN adopted this plan, and ever since
the treasury has held hundred million
dollars as assurance to the people that
its paper promises would be redeemed
whenever presented. The result of this
wise financiering was that fine country
passed from paper to gold basis on
Jan. l, 1879, without jar, and has re
manned there ever since, in spite of the
bad financial management of congress.
Under the system of bookkeeping
adopted by Republican secretaries of
the treasury this fund, which is really
a trust fund, was always included
in the public debt statement as an
asset. Secretary MANNING placed it
where it belonged as trust fund, and
refused to have it considered as among
the assets of the treasury available lin

tary FOSTER should use this trust fund

whirlpool created by the billion-dollar

The postmaster general was along
with the president at their receptions
by the white people in the South ex-

postal commissions to the colored
brethren. Yet it has been made a
subject of high praise for these dis
pensers of official things, that they had
the courage to appoint negro postmas-
tels. There is no intimation in the car
speeches that they are looking for col

SHOULD BE DIsARMED.

Occurrences of late in New York have
brought to light the most alarming facts
as to the disregard of the legal prohibit
tons against carrying concealed wpap-
ons. The illustrations that have been
had in that and other cities of the uses
Of the Stiletto by those familier with its
operations have added to the general
nervousness caused by the discovery
that nearly every man and boy In GER
tain districts, crowded with class of
foreign-born, carries about his person
one or more deadly weapons, compris-
ing about every species known to blood
and crime. Nor is this per sonal arma-
ment business confined to those not ma
tives. 1t is very largely found i'll the
more tony quarters, and among
those who would not readily be sup
posed to be so equipped. The de-
mand there is that systematic and rig
orouS measures shall be adopted to en-
force the law and break up this habit.
1t IS not entirely confined to New York
or the other great cities. Those who
have the best means of knowing the
facts insist that in most of the cities,
more especially in the West, sudden
brawl will reveal an alarming preva-
lence of dangerous weapons in the
average scrOwd. Most of the shooting
and cutting scrapes are due to this
fact. If only the natural means of de-
Tense and attack were had, the worst
effects would hardly go beyond broken
heads and some not dangerous wreck
ing OF the human anatomy. The person
who habitually carries small arsenal
about his person in the peace
able ways of a decent community
may be credited with vicious
element in his makeup or a timidity
that borders on cowardice. He may,
however, have grown up in frontier
OF uncivilized region, and forgotten that
he has left it. Those who are forced to
be out at unreasonable hours, and in
ghostly localities, may have excuse for
carrying some weapon, but a pistol or
stilettO about the person is an incite-
ment to trouble. 1t would be we'll if
the New York investigation were ex-
tended to all the large centers of popu-
latiOn. A special retributiOn should be
had for those who carry the cowardly
StIlettO
