Across the Breast OF Scott Cleveland
Death Results
DrLLoN, Oct. 23.-[ Special. Scott Cleve-
land, well-known character OF Bannack,
was found near Moore's saloon, in that
place, this morning about 2:30 in dying
condition. Across his breast was deep
cash. He was also wounded in the abb
domen. He died at six o'clock this morn
ing. It is not known positively who hin
assailant was. but suspicion points strongly
toward James Brandon. Well-known
ranchman, who lives near BAnnack. Clsve-
land and Brandon quarreled last evening
in Moore's saloon. When Cleveland left
the saloon it was thought he went away TO
arm himself. The two men had had
trouble in the past. Aside from this no
evidence has as yet been developed which
tends to show that Brandon committed the
deed. Coroner Cashmere left for Bannack
this morning and in the absence Of Deputy
Sheriff Tash win take necessary official
action.

Il y GLADSTONE.
The Venerable Statesman Recasts
His Bill for Home Rule in
Ireland.
It's Provisions Will Not Be Given
In Detail Until After
Election.
The Hepo and Possibility Of irish Par
liamsntsry Party Restoration Are
with Michael DavItt.

[Coyright 1891. New York Associated Press.l
LONDON, Oct. %. ~ Gladstone has revised
his homo rule bill. Az to what time the
scheme in detail will be divulgsd depends
upon the fats and character OF tho govern
msnt's Irish local government measure. II
dissolution should como now. the measure
would be published with such completeness
az would leave the conservatives no chance
to say the country had been deceived on
any important point. When tho general
election does oome the issue will be fought
on definitely declared homo rule lines. II
the popular vote places Mr.. Gladstone
in power, the course thus adopted will
paralyze the opposition position. The
house of lords will not daro to reject the
bill on the ground that the voto OF the cleo
torate had not been specially taken thereon.
Regarding the principles OF the new meas
ure, enough has been officially ascertained
to state that it gives the proposed Irish leg
islature fuller powers than did the bill of
1886. II retains the lower and upper houses
of the Irish parliament, vests the appoint
ment Of the judiciary in an irish executive
and maintains a larger representation Of
Ireland in the Imperial parliament. Tho
questions of financial relations and the
control of police are also settled.
In the Cork election fight there is much
partisanship. Friends of Redmond declare
themselves confident Of victory. They have
NO lack of funds, part of the money coming
from America. The final hope of the res
toration Of party unity rests with Michael
Davitt. If he rsfrains from throwing his
whole influence on the side of the Nc
Carthyites and uses his personal power in a
quiet policy Of conciliation. he will in time
reconstituts the Irish party. If he consents
to contest Kilkenny, thus throwing the
gage of battle to the Parnellites tbs feud
will be eternal. When interviewed to-day
he talked as if entirely committed to the
majority.
William Lawies jackson. whose appoint
ment AZ Irish secretary is definitely an
nouncsd, has the reputation OF being a
good business man. without any bias
towards his own ideas, il he has any, and a
ready and plant instrument Of BAlfoul
and Salisbury, with shrewd eye on the
main chance.
In an interview to-day Mr.. Dredge, one
of the British commissioners to the Worlds
fair at Chicago, said that since his return
he had met encouraging indications of in
creasing interest on the part of British
manufacturers. The commission will dis
tribute 10000 circulars throughout Great
Britain and Ireland inviting exhibits.
