FRIENDS OF IRELAND.
A Significant Address Issued by
tho American Branch
OF THE IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Personal Fcuds and Ambitions OF the
Leaders in tho Mother Country Dis.
gusting the Patriots of This Coun-
try.--Tho Irish People Must Throw
Them Over and Unite If they Would
Ilnvo the Cause Succeed.

LINCOLN, NED., Nov. ON. V. Can
non, president Of tho Irish National
League Of America, William Byman
treasurer, and John P. Sutton, secreta-
ry, to-day issued a significant state
mont addressed to the friends OF Ireland
In America. Tho document refers to
tho rival factions inGamed with hate
arraycd against each other in Ireland,
and says those who would be naturally
looked to for counsel, tending to peace
and unity, are foremost in iomcnting
fratricidal striie, adding:
at is potent to every thoughtful man
that the contending parties arc each too
strong for one politically to destroy the
other and force reunion. Union, how
ever, is absolutely necessary to the sue
cess OF the Irish cause, and it must be q
union Of head and heart, even ii every
present aspirant to leadership has to be
forced into retirement 1t should be
tho resolve OF the Irish in America that
no parliamentary factions shall be per-
mitted to bring upon our mother land u
ruin more complete than England's
tyrannienl acts have ever been able to
accomplish.
ave have faith in tho sturdy nation
ality OF the Irish people, and when We
speak OF the people We do SO in Amer
ica and speak beyond the artiiicialitics
ofthe lines OF q mere British franchise.
We believe in tho manhood OF Ireland
and to it we appeal to force the parlia-
mentarians to stop their quarrels or
make way for other 1rishmen to whom
the interests OF their country are OF
greater merit than personal ambition
or personal animosities.

and was not improved any. On tho
other hand 1t fell of very rapidly in
production and last night was only
making twenty barrels an hour.
On Saturday it was making
sixty.fve barrels IN hour. About $500
barrclsof tankage was erected at tho
well III expectation that it would bc q
second Matthews gushnr. 1t turned
out q grievous failure, however, as a
duplicate Of the great oil maker. Only
about three feet OF sand was found in
the well. The well on tho James Reed
farm, three miles southwest OF McDon-
aid, which got n showing OF oil in the
Gordon sand, is being worked rs q mys-

tors interested in territory in that
neighborlood have been haunting the
locality, but arc denied access to
the derrick, and can gain no
definite information as to tho
condition OF the well. 1t is known,
however, that there is oil in tho Gordon
level. Tho well Is being drilled 10 the

those interested will be on the anxious
seat. The biggest well to get the pay
in tho Mcdonald field was tho John

making 200 barrels an hour, but yester-
day evening had fallen Otto 100 barrels

A FAMILY FEUD
In ireland Results In u Desperate and
Bloody blight.

Bloody Eight.
DUBLIN, Noy a.-The Irish question
assumed new phase to-day, but, the
people most interested did not look for
government interference to settle tho
matter. They undertook to decide the
question between themselves and the
result was a most desperate and bloody
fight 1t appears that two families,
named Lynch and Hurley, living near
Duhmanway, county Cork, thirty miles
southwest OF Cork City, have for sone
time past been involved in numerous
wordy disputes regarding the possession
OF land, the ownership or tennntship OF
which was claimed by each family.
Matters went from bad to worse, and
there was much bad blood between all
the members OF the two families.
The affair reached climax to-day,
when, finding that talk would not settle
tho question, 4 resort was made to
various weapons. Crowbars and farm
ing implements entered largely into tho
dispute, and upon the conclusion OF
hostilities it was found that five persons
were in an extremely critical condition.
Their skulls had been fractured by tho
blows rained upon them, and but little
hope is expressed for their recovery.
Other participants in the fight were
also injured, but not SO seriously rs
those who were injured about the head.
The question us to which family will
have possession OF the property in dis
pute is still in allegiance.

MONTE CARLO STARTLED.
An Englishman Who Plays by n System
His Own, Which Has Been Successful

An Englishman Who Plays by System OF
His Own, Which Has Been Successful.
MONTE CARLO, Nov. 9.-Mr. Wells,
the lucky Englishman, whose punting
has been such feature here, closed his
campaign against the gaming tables last
night and lett for England, having won
$4,000. This, added to the 100000
he won in July, makes a total OF $780,
On Friday last he cleared no less n sum
than $4,000, and broke the bank five
times during the evening, SO that at one
time he had before him pile OF thou
sand-franc notes foot and n half high,
but, unlike other players; he never lost
his head, ard afterward slept soundly
with his winnings under his pillow in
his room in the Hotel dc Paris, over
looking the Place du Casino.
1.-THE secret OF my success" he said,
lis the result OF q system OF my own
which l have been working out for years.
During that time I have been patiently
watching the running OF the table, and
now in putting it into actual practice l
think its value has been fully tested
during the trials OF the past week and
in July last"
iii this system is iniallible why not
80 in and clear out the bank?"
because" replied Mr.. Wells, "thc
physical strain is beyond my strength.
I have boen at it without break, and
am worn out, but l have decided to
como again shortly. Ny system re-
quires a capital OF $4,000, and must for
the most part be played with tho maxi
mum stakes Of 5000 or 1000 francs, so
MS to enable the. player to reimburse
his losses. The principal point is to
follow the table and catch the runs or
the series OF runs, as on Thursday and
Friday, when, with 1900 francs on
each OF two chances. was able to clear
the table OF its capital several times.
When the cards were running awk-
wardly, 1 placed smaller stakes than
the maximum, but for the series al
ways placed the maximum of 1900
francs each. ! Ialways insured against
the refait OF tho banks odd chance,
even although it cost me at the rate OF
l per cent upon stakes OF over el,0OO.
Yet believe it always paid me in tho
ond. would add that 1 never tempted
fortune too far"

times at the Brooklyn navy yard, night
and day the rafting OF chains and
changing OF hammers rcsound through
the usually quiet yard, the big store
houses are open all the time, and al
though from the commandant down to

of a hurried departure OF tho fleet for
some kind OF foreign service. On all
the ships additional coal room has been
made and extra stores taken on board.

sultan OF Morocco, regarding the owner
ship OF the Oasis OF Touat, does not
seem to be approaching solution, and
il France remains steadiast in her dc.
termination to take possession Of Touat,
there is no doubt that serious trouble
will follow. The .inhabitants OF the
Oasis nrc already in state OF ANARCHY
growing out OF the dispute between the
two powers. A majority OF the inhab.
itants do not look with favo, upon the
claims OF either country, but desire TO
thrown aside all foreign government
and form an independent government

CHILEAN SITUATION.
Ruulored Sinking OF tho American
Cruiser Baltimore
OFFICIALLY DENIED BY SCHLEY.
Tho Unusual Activity In tho Navy
Yards has no Warlllsc Significance.
i Statement from the Navy Depart.
mcnt Which will Allay any Posi-.
bic Excitement on Account Of the
Reports In Circulation.

WAsurSeroH, D. c., Nov. "a cable.
gram received by Secretary Tracy from
Captain schlcy, dated Valparaiso, Chill.
states that there are no indications Of
feelings OF hostility towards the Balti-
more's company at Valparaiso. The
Navy Department announced this
morning, in issuing this cablcgram for
publication, that it was not sent from
Captain Schley in response to any in
Cuiry from here, It was probably in
Eprad by the receipt at Valparaiso of
cabegrams from friends OF the officers
Of the ship asking about tho truth OF
the rumor that was abroad here two or
three days ago that the Baltimore had
been blown up By Chilcans. His rc.
mark about. the lack OF hostility
towards men is taken to mean that
there arc no open signs OF entaSonisn
Just now, whatever may have been the
state OF public feeling nearly month
ago. when the attack was mado on the
crew in the city.
Regarding tho report OF unusual ac-
tiyity and Sunday work in the navy
Yards. it is said at the navy department
that it has no war-like Significance. No
order has been sent from the depart
mcnt as to Sunday work OF public work
and il is not known officially that there
has been any. 1t has been common
practice TO work force OF men over
time ut navy yards when there was a
particular need for haste, and il work
has been pushed on Sundays, it has
been in pursuance OF the general order
10 hasten the work OF repair on ships in
order 10 have them in readiness for
their winter cruises. The order in the
case OF the NIiantomanah was issued
weeks ngo. The Monitor has gone into
commission, which puts the government
10 considerable expense to maintain her
so that it is in the interest OF economy
to hasten her completion and put her in
scryiceablc condition.
In the case OF the Atlanta, orders
were sent to complete her repairs in all
haste when disquieting news was re-
ccived from Brazil last week, with the
Intention OF sending her to Rio de jan
GIRO The orders have not been coun-
termanded, Notwithstanding the disap-
pearance OF the urgent features OF the
situation in Brazil, SO that any work
done OH the vessel yesterday was in
pursuance OF the original order. The
construction bureau OF the navy reports
that while the work OF repair of the
ships has been progressing rapidly, as
amattcr OF fact the bureau itself has
less work under way ut present than for
months past.

and AlM. Passy and Agnard, members
Of the chamber Of deputies, few days
ago invited Nfr. Gladstone, who con-
templates visiting Italy TO spend the

stone to attend the proposed banquet to
honor him for his utterances at New
Castle, which are taken by many
Frenchmen to mean that he is in favor
Of Immediately Withdrawing the Brit

very much desired by French states

Mr.. Gladstone has written q reply to

Final Decision.
WASHINGTON, D. g., Nov. 9.-Whon
the supreme court assembled today
Justice Bradley was not present, but he
arrived at the capitol and took his place
Oh the bench just before tho sayward
cSsc was called, so that full court was
present when the hearing began.
This aow celebrated case arises out
ol the seizures OF the Canadian scalcr,
W. Y. SGyward, in Boring sea, for vio.
lation OF the act OF congress making it a
penalty for catching seals within the
waters CT Bcring sea. The vessel was
Abc'cd under the admiralty laws of the
United States and after the trial the
United States district court OF Alaska
declared n forfeiture OF the vessel.
The case was then brought TO this court
on motion for writ OF prohibition to
ttop the Alaska court from taking meas
urcs TO enforce its decree, tho
ground for this motion be.
iinS. a contention that the court
had no jurisdiction to try tho ollrnsc
ioT the reason that it was committed
more than three miles from shore. By
this method it is sought to secure an
opinion from this court on the ques-
ton which has been for long time in
controversy between the United States
and Great Britain as to the right OF tho
io9rmcr country to exclusive control OF
Tho seal fisheries in Bcring sea, The
opening skirmish in this legal battle
resulted IN favor OF Great Britain, the
court deciding against a preliminary
plea by the United States that tho s,i.
preme court could not entertain even Il
motion ior leave to file u petition for a
writ OF prohibition. -
