CLOSING UP SALOONS.

Badly Conducted Places Suppressed by
the Police.
Some time ago the Police Commissioners
decided to refuse the renewal Of licenses TO
sell liquors to a number of saloon-keepers
whose places were not conducted decently,
and Sergeant MeKenna, in charge of the
license permits, was instructed to refuse re-
newals when applied for. Although a num-
Der of applicants were refused licenses
when they interviewed the Sergeant, they
still kept their saloons open and sold liquor
in defiance of the law. Under instructions,
Sergeant McKenna has arrested the propri-
etors and closed up saloons as follows: n.
Meehan, S31 Kearny street; Lizzie Dwyer,
5271@ Pine street. and Frank a. Hamilton,
6l5 Montgomery avenue. He also closed
up, but did not arrest, John Darden of go

A Vegetable PeddIer Loses His Tubers
on Three Queens.
Ronald McDonald's over fondness for the
fascinating game of poker has landed him
behind the bars at the City Prison on
charge of embezzlement. few weeks ago
Mcdonald, who is about Is years OF age
and makes living by peddling fruits and
vegetables, got eight sacks of potates from
A. P. Hansen and promised to pay for them
when he had sold them. Business was not
brisk and, as Mcdonald says, ''sDuds were
drug on the Market" While endeavoring
to sell them he entered a saloon and was in
duced to take part in quiet little game of
poker in the back room. Finally Mcdonald
got three little queens and pair of fours
and answered all the raises of his adver-
sary, who had quietly picked up four kings,
by lifting him a sack of potatoes at a time,
each sack being appraised at 30 cents.
When all the potatoes had been wagered
both hands were displayed and Mcdonald
was busted gambolier." He kept out O
Hansen's way until yesterday when he met
him on the water front and was promptly
handed over to the police

PARNELL'S SUCCESSOR.
THREE CANDIDATES FOR HIS VA.
CANT SEAT IN PARLIAMENT.
A Butter Merchant Nominated by the
McCarthyites to Contest the Honor
With John Redmond, ParneIlite, and
Captain Sarsfeid, Conservative.

Cork, Oct. 23.--At a convention today
of the followers OF Justin Mccarthy,
local butter merchant, Martin Flaven,
was selected to contest against John E.
Redmond, the Parnellite candidate, the
seat in parliament left vacant by the
death OF Parnell. The Conservatives
selected a deputy lieutenant of the
county, Captain Sars6eld, to contest
Cork city against John E. Redmond, the
Parnellite candidate, and against the
representative of the McCarthyites.
DAvrrr GIVEN AN OVATION.
QUEENSTOWN, Oct. 23.-Immediately
on the arrival at Queenstown this morn
ing of the steamer Wisconsin, Michael
Davitt was interviewed in regard to his
nomination by the McCarthyites as can
didate for the seat in the commons
made vacant by the death OF Hennessey.
Davitt said he could not say whether
he would or would not accept the NOM
ination, until he reached Dublin and
had an opportunity of consulting with
his friends. Davitt received an enthu-
siastic reception from the town commits
sioners and from delegation represent
ing the Irish federation. He was pre-
sented an address of welcome to which
he made reply.
ARCHBISHOP WALSH INDIGNANT.
DUBLIN, Oct. 29.-Archbishop Walsh
repudiates the interview which it was
said was held with him shortly after the
death of Parnell, and in which he was
quoted as referring to the dead leader
in terms so disparaging that they aroused
indignant comments in many quarters
where sympathy for the dead man was
not expressed. Archbishop Walsh also
denounces the attack which was made
upon him by the Chicago Herald of
October 9th. CHASING the statements
made as Sensational calumny." He
adds: "They attribute to me the
atrocious and unchristian like sentiment
that charity should not find place at
the open grave OF Parnell. feel bound
in my own defense. and in that Of the
dignity of my Office, to ascertain whether
American law permits bringing to JUS

The Source of Supply of the saIton Lake
Cut OF.

The Source of Supply of the salton Lake
Cut OFF.
YUMA, Ariz., Oct. 23.-G. w. Dur
brow, of Salton, and E. B. Preston,
prominent California engineer, returned
today, from the crevasse, eighteen
miles below Hanlon' s, which has been the
source of supply of the Salton lake from
the Colorado river. An interview di-
vulged the fact that no water was flow
ing from the river into the Salton basin
that only a small stream was running
through the river bank, and continued
eight miles inland, from which point
the water returned to the Colorado.
Where four weeks ago small river
ran toward Salton, not a trace
of water can now be found.
There will be no rise of consequence in
the Colorado for four months, which can
effect the Salton region, and by that
time the desert winds will fill up the
openings with sand, checking any
further inflow. The water has been
falling for the past month at Salton
lake. One month more and no sign of
the so.called desert lake will be seen.

reported quiet.
The committee of the international ex-
hibition of arts at Berlin, in 1891,
awarded the Society of American Wood
Engravers, of New York city, the great
diploma of honor.
1t is stated that conference is to be
called in St. Petersburg on the Pamir
question, but that is unlikely before a
commission has visited the spot, an un-
dertaking that is impossible until next
spring.
The London Standards st. Petersburg
correspondent says there is no longer
any doubt that the effort to have the
expectation of wheat prohibited is being
made, and decree to that effect is ex-
pected daily.
Israel Liberman, of Dorobiez, Galicia,
has failed, with liabilities of $500, 900.
He was a member of the syndicate work
ing the Zocerite mines. 1t is feared
other firms belonging to the syndicate
will collapse.
A Berlin dispatch says: Germany is
pestered with pauper Russians. Ninety
five returned here from Bremen yester-
day in starving condition, having been
refused passage to Brazil, and were sent
to the workhouse.
The London stock exchange commit
tee rejected the proposal that American
dealers be accommodated after closing
hours; $50 members signed petition
in favor of granting the accommodation,
and 1000 members signed a petition
against it.
Plentiful rains are falling in the south
ern provinces of Russia, completely
changing the prospects for next year. s
crop. The work of plowing and sewing
is proceeding with vigor, and the peas
ants no longer despair of a good yield
from their fields.
A sensation was caused in London
when it became known that Philip Her
bert Carpenter, the distinguished scion
tist, whose death was announced Thurs
day, had committed suicide. Rev. DR..
Hale, father-in-law of the deceased, said
Carpenter had lately been suffering
from insomnia, and that he had invest

LONDON, Oct. 23.-From all parts OF
the provinces come reports announcing
a tremendous amount OF damage done
by the floods. In many cases the waters
are still rising, and bid fair to 30 con-
tinue for some time to come. In differ
ent parts of the country farms are SUBJ
merged and the inhabitants have been
compelled to seek refuge on the upper
floors of their houses. A railroad cut
ting near Christ Church, undermined by
the floods, collapsed this morning and
completely blocked up the railroad
lines. The neighborhood all around is
inundated, SO it is impossible to repair
the damage done until the foods have
subsided. The Thames continues to
rise and is now five feet above its nor
NAL high water mark. portion of the
royal gardens and the queens drive at
Windsor is flooded.
In additions to the foundations in the
neighborhood of the Thames river, the
Medwav has been so swollen by the
heavy rains that it has overhowed it's
banks and submerged vast tracts OF
