Ulster Will Fight Home Rule.

LONDON, Jan. 81 The plain avowal of
the marquis OF Londonderry that the men
of Ulster will fight in the event of home
rule being granted to Ireland has aroused
some sensation, as coming from a quarter
well informed and responsible All that
Lord Londonderry asks is that England
keep its hands of, and allow the Ulster
Protestants to fight it out with the home
rulers without the interference of impe-
rial troops. There Is no doubt that the
Ulster Protestarts are well armed and
drilled, and, if their speakers are to be be-
lieved, they will resent the attempt of any
home rule Irish parliament to exercise any
jurisdiction over them

CURED Thursday night about thirty miles
southwest of this city. Jacob Perew, a
poor but laborious and upright farmer
had gone to Leavenworth the county seat
OF Crawford county, TO visit his aged
father, who was ill, leaving his wife and
four small children home, intending to
remain away all night. At midnight a
gang OF twenty masked men rode up to the
Perew dwelling, and dismounting marched
into the yard and up to the door and de-
manded admission. Mrs Perew had re-
tired, and refused to open the door.
Most Merciless aud Villainous.
Then the White-Cars, after firing sever.
al shots from their revolvers, procured a
rail, and with it battered down the door

every senator in respect to that measure

that of Senator Cameron. The election of
his successor was to take place on Tues
day and the committee was to have met
the previous saturday. 1t was not known
that If Cameron was reelected he would
vote for the force bill, but his attitude OF
uncertainty led me to indulge the hope
that he would vote against it,

Sitting quietly in their private apart

day had passed, and talking only of their
family affairs, the president and Mrs. Har-
rison were far from anticipating the sad
calamity which moment afterward was
announced. The ringing of the telephone
bell, customary as it is, did not concern
the president until the doorkeeper asked
him to answer it. This unusual summons
at once caused apprehension, and the pres
