TO CHOOSE A NEW LEADER.
Manifesto issued by the National
 Iearue of Great Britain.

LONDON. Oct 13.-The National leayue of Great Britain has issued the following manifesto:
 Six months ago the members of this executive were appointe by MT. Par nell to advance the cause of Irish inde- pendenee in Great Britain. Fighting under many difficulties, we held our ground and rallied every 1rishman who remained true to the principle for which our leader lived and died-the principle of an independent Irish party and an independent Irish parliament. Ireland has received a blow by his death from which she will not recover for a generation. When 0'Connell died all was chaos. A parliamentary party sprung up but failure and disgrace marked its course. Nothing was done for Ireland and the name "Irish nsem- ber'' became a by-word. Fenianism arose and all was changed. lrish affairs absorbed attention ln parlla- ment, while Irishmen died for Ireland on the scaffold or perished In prison or in exile.
 Something was then done. The English State church in Ireland disap- peared, and the first step was taken in the taruy course of legislation for the protection of the Irish tenant. The power of Fcnianlsm was Tor the moment broken, but not until 1t had received the spirit of nationality. Parliamentary agitation followed the momentary subsistence of the Fenlan movement, and once more failure marked its course.
 Then Charles Stewart Parnell came and all was changed. Rallying the forces of Irish nationality everywhere and combining revolutionary action with constitutional agitation, he fixed the attention of the civilized world on the wrongs and miseries of Ireland English parties aud English leaders bowed before him. Tories vied with Liberals to gain his support. Firm, inexorable. commanding the followers whom he found rabble and whom he made an army, he dictated terms to the English minister and the minister granted them. In ten years he did more fer Ireland than had been done in generations. Measure after measure bearing his mark took its place on the statute book His work was crowned when the English premier brought in a bill to establish an Irish Parliament. He is gone Ireland mourns at his grave to-day.
 What is the duty of those left be- hind? What is the duty of the men who followed him to the last lost struggle for Irish freedom? It is said we fought for the man and not tbe principle. It is untrue We fought for the principle which the man em- bodied.
 Now it is necessary that the mem bers of this organization should elect a new president and a new executive and we invite the branches in Great Britain to take immediate steps to this end. We urge our fellow countrymen not to despair. If victory seems dis tant we ask them to take for the ir motto the last words addressed by MT Parnell to the executive: Hold on, fight on

An omaha Mob Demands sbc Freedom
 of che Men Who Hanged Coe

of the Men Who Hanged Coe
 OMAHA. Neb., Oct. is.--The feeling in Omaha, as a sequel to the lynching of Joe Zoe. who attacked pretty little 5-year-old Lizzie Yates. was something terrifying. Scarcely had the body of Coo stopped its convulsive swaying be- fore it was known that the negro's victim was not dead and in no danger of death. 1t is claimed that the an- nouncement the papers gave of the death of the child was merely an inci- dent in the plot to provoke mob vio- lence by the friends of the victims family. Grape had been attached is the door of the family. and apparently child's funeral.
 Seven members of the mob were a1s rested. charged with murder in the first degree. County Attorney Ma. honey refused to allow the prisoners ball and by p. m. d. large crowd sur. rounded the county jail and threat ened that if the prisoners were not given their liberty the jail would be attacked and the men liberated. The men under arrest were Joseph Nous. hoffer. Patrick O'Herne. John Fritz, R. c. Bloom. H. H. Brandies, Ed Fitz- gerald and John O'Donoghue.
 Bloom is manager for $. P. Morse A Co., the largest dry goods company in the city, and ODonoghuc is captain of police. OHerne was a delegate to the Democratic county convention and was arrested while the convention was in session.
 County Attorney Mahoney sent down word that the men would not be re- leased under any circumstances and the crowd at once began to lay plans for attacking the jail.
 Sheriff Boyd said he would defend the jail even if he had to send to Fort Omaha for troops.
 At 10 o'clock the crowd had become SO dense and dcmonstrative that to save bloodshed it was announced that the lynchcrs who were behind the bars had been released on bail. Tho trouble is averted for the present. though the arrest of other prisoners will go on.
 Five of the prisoners had been re leased on bail and the remaining two had been spirited out of the jail and taken to Papillion for safety. County Attorney Mahoney said that under tho laws of Nebraska any man who took part Tn the lynching was guilty of murder m the first degree and punishable by hanging.
 The prison is situated in the heart of the city, on a knoll. and might easily have been defended. Two other mur- derers in the jail were taken to the penitentiary to-day, as the lynchers declared they would hang them to- night.
 A United States prisoner accused of murder was taken to the penItenriary by the United States marshal, as he had heard that the prisoner would be hanged with the rest.

TO HELP THE FALLEN.
National Prison Association in scs.
 sion at Pittsburg.

PITTsBUBG, Pa., Oct. 13.-The twenty first annual congress of the National Prison Association is in session in this city.
 After an organ prelude by City Organist Eckert, Henry NJ. Warner. chairman of the reception committee. introduced Bishop Whitehead, who de livered the opening prayer. Mir.

Pattison, who was to receive the dele gates on behalf of the State, had been unavoidably detained by other busi- ness, but that he wou d be ably repre- sented by Adjutant General Me Clelland.
 When Gen. McClelland finished speakinR Mir. Warner introduced delegates on behalf of the people of fittsburg and Allegheny.
 The president of the assoclation, ex- President Rutherford E. Hayes. was then introduced and delivered his an- nual address, concluding as follows:
 .tCrime, it's causes, its results, and its treatment are in very real and deep sense part of the business of every community and of all its members. Society can not safely neglect its crim- inals. The cost of crime is a buroen on every public treasury, and finds its way to every mans pocket Its calam~ ities are no respecters of persons. They reach the purest domestic circles and the happiest homes. The golden rule is as sound in the eye of true public and private self.interest as it is in re- ligion. The doctrine of Cain is no more false In religion than it Is in philosophy and common sense. We are indce our brothers keeper.
 This afternoon there was meeting of the board of directors, which was. resided over by Gen. Hayes. Invita-
 IS were received from Baltim ore O, Denver for the next annual meet nd t no action W as taken.

MARsEILLEs, Oct. ll.-Ministers Guyot, Roche and Rouvier are still in the clty and to- day were treated to a rather exciting experience. They left the prefecture in carr ages escorted by the hussars and number of gendarms.

While passing through the Boulevard Liberte some body in tho crowd hurled an open knife, having sharp blade, with great force at the minis. ters. The weapon fortunately missed its mark, striking with considerable force, but handle foremost, an officer of the prefecture, who was seated in the rear of the ministerial carriage.
