FINED FOR wHIsTLING.
METZ, May 13.-A peasant at
Dietenhofen, Lorraine, was brought
before a magistrate few days ago,
charged with showing dlsrespect
for the German authorities by whis-
Ting the "Marsellaise. The man
contended that the march he
whistled was one that he had
learned while he was serving in the
Brunswick Hussars. The court
made the police, who Lad arrested
him, whistle it to see if they knew
the famous hymn, and then the
prisoner was ordered to whistle the
march he claimed to have learned In
the hussars. 1t proved to be sus.
piciously familiar to the "Marsel.
lalse," and the unlucky whistler
was fined 10 marks for his indiscre-
ton.
ABOUT IRELAND.
LONDON, May 13.-The condition
of the remaining evicted tenants in
Ireland is said to be very bad, and
something seems to be radically
wrong with the administration Of
the funds. The tenants on the
Glensharrold estate appear to have
been subject to Ill treatment, as they
claim by the land league. One man
who has been evicted for eight
months has never received a penny
from the land league funds. Others
say that they were coerced into sub
mitting to eviction and ruined by
doing so, their farms being now q
wilderness and their pockets empty.
Many of them have received nothing
since the 1st of November. The
two Irish factions each blame the
other for the situation. The tenants
have nearly all made terms with
the landlords.

Idaho and San Francisco.
