he Charges Him with Insincerity in
His Labor Professions.
DUBLIN, March 16.-Timothy Healy, dur
ing the course of his speech at Newry yes
terday, said that when Mr.. Parnell was
wanted at the tenants defense league meet
ings he always had a bad cold. The air of
Dublin did not agree with him. but the sea-
side air at Brighton did. The decree of
divorce granted to Capt. O'Shea had af-
ficted Mr.. Parnell with political opthalmia,
but the most revolving thing in the whole
business was that Mr.. Parnell seemed to
think that they were all fools. He could re-
member the difference between Mr.. Parnell,
the untainted leader, and Mr.. Parnell of
1891. Referring to Mr.. Parnelis pre-
tended sympathy for the workingmen, Mr..
Healy said that it would be remembered
that during the dock strike, speaking to the
late Mr.. Biggar, who first pointed out to
him the misfortune Mr.. ParnelI was trying
to bring on Ireland, Mr.. Biggar said that
be had written twice to Mr.. Parnell urging
him to make a donation toward the strike
fund. Mr.. Parnell did not answer these
communications, and this caused Mr.. Big
gar TO remark: 81 wonder what MIR. Par
nell's real politics are" As far back as 1881
Mr.. Biggar wrote 70 Mr.. Parnell re-
monstrating with him in regard to his con-
duct with Mrs. O'Shea.

The Sub-Letting Of the Chattanooga
Property Not Authorized
ATLANTA, GA, March 16-The claim
commission resumed work to-day. Chair
man Hammond inquired how long the case
would last. In reply the counsel gave him
TO understand that by the end Of the week
all the evidence might be in. Thus en-
couraged the commissioners proceeded with
the examination of Martin Dooley and
Treasurer Charles T. Gats0n-
Then the cOmpany's counsel rendered in
evidence the letters Of President Brown in
regard to betterments and the resolutions
offered in the legislature on the subject;
also a resolution passed by the Tennessee
assembly In 1878 in reference to the taxa
ton of the road in that state.
JUDGE HALL SPRINGS A POINT.
Judge Hall then recalled Treasurer Wat
son and asked: How much did the West
ern and Atlantic railroad receive for rents
from the states property in Chattanooga
Mai. Cummings, for the lessees, objected
10 the question. He said they had leased
the property for profit, and it would be just
as consistent TO require them to show how
much money they had made by operating
the road.
VIOLATION OF THE CONTRACT.
Judge Hall said that in renting out the
states property in Chattanooga the lessees
had violated their contract, as in that in
strument it was set forth that none of the
property should be re-let. He stated
that he desired to show that the
renting of the states property for
other than railroad purposes had
caused it TO be taxed by the state of
Tennessee, taxes which had been charged to
the state. The question was allowed, but
the treasurer claimed that he could not an
swer it without consulting his books. VIII ich
not being on hand the commission ad-
journed.

They Are Wonderful Indians to March
and Can Outrun Cavalry.
From the Chicago Herald.
The Apaches are, perhaps, the most
wonderful marchers that the world has
seen. This is particularly true Of the
hostile tribes, who can, when closely
pressed, outwaIk or outruu orr choicest
cavalry. They are good horsemen, also,
but 'shank's mare" is their strongest
hold. l had experience of the marching
qualifications of the Yuma and Mo-
jave scouts-sub-tribes OF the Apache "na-
tion"-when campaigning with Gen. Carr
in Arizona during the summer of 1881.
They always beat the cavalry on the trail,
and were comfortably in camp before the
head of the main column came in sight of
it. And yet, both Gen. Carr and Mai
Upper assured me, they bore no COMPARE
son DIS champion marchers to the White
Mountain and Chiricahua Apaches.
During Gen. Crooks great Sioux cam
paign of 1876, which lasted from Nav until
November, the Second, Third and Fifth
cavalry left behind them on the trail, from
the head waters of the Tongue river in
Wyoming to the banks of the Belle Fourche
in Dakota, more than 600 horses which had
fallen dead or exhausted because of scanty
forage and incredible fatigue. During the
same ca palgn de6achments or the Fourth,
Ninth and Fourteenth infantry made the
full march from the Union Pacific railroad
to Fort Fetterman, and from that
point to the Yellowstone, the
Little Missouri and the Black
Hills, most of the time half
starved living on roasted cacti and horse
flesh, and almost constantly wet to the skin
in bivouac, without the loss by sickness or
exhaustion Of single officer or enlisted
man. They were commanded by the late
Col. Alexander Chambers, Maj A. S. Burt,
Maj. Burke of the Fourteenth and Mai. w.
H. Powell, aud Capt. Gsrhardt Luhn of the
Fourth. That was. perhaps, the hardest
marching campaign ever endured by Ameri-

The Matter Apt to Be Turned over

TO Switzerland or France
WASHINGTON, March 16. - Secretary
Blaine will soon be able to announce. if no
accident occurs, the references by this
country and Great Britain TO arbitra-
ton. probably of the president of France or
the president Of Switzerland. Of the law
questions involved in the BeriDg sea con-
troversy. Secretary Blaine is prepared TO
see all these questions decided against US.
He does not care how the arbitration re-
suits. he is concerned with another method
OF getting at the object OF all these negotia-
tions; namely, the preservation of the per-
1shing Alaska fur seal This he hopes TO &C
complish on the lines laid down by Secre-
tary Bayard, by an international convention
to which the United States, Great Britain,
Russia and Japan, and, possibly, Ger
many shall be parties. and which
shall maintain a closer season extending
over a series OF years possibly six or
sevenl, and comprehending not only Boring
sea but several geographical degrees of the
Pacific ocean south Of il. Secretary Blaine
is very hopeful Of reaching this agreement
in time TO prevent any killing of seals this
summer. Great Britain is favorable, as is
evidenced by the recommendation 70 that
effect by Sir George Baden Powell. who
investigated the matter at Victoria for
Lord Salisbury, and at first reported that
the seals we're not decreasing.

BOULANGISM BOMBASTIC.
DERAULEDE RETURNS TO PARIS
FROM BRUSSELS.

He Saw Roch fort, but Boulsnger Had
Not Arrived Yet-He Denies that the
Boulangists Are Working Up New
Plots-Hs Don't Believe the Kaiser
Wants War.
PARIS. March 16.-The continued sojourn
Of Gen. Boulanger at Brussels puzzles the
s'duid nuncs" On the same subject NJ.
DerouIede, who may be considered the file
leader of the moribund BoulanEist party,
said to your correspondent: ut is true
that went to Brussels the other day, but it
was TO see NJ. Rochefort Gen. Boulanger
had not reached the Belgian capitol when
was there, and n. Rochefort left before his
arrival Here is a letter from
n. Rochefort," and NJ Deroulede drew
from his pocket note from
the exiled editor of the Intrdnsigent in
which he states that he has neither seen nor
heard from Gen. Boulanger for three
months. So you see how idle is all this talk
about the Boulangists plotting at Brussels
over the critical situation created by the
recent visit of the empress.
SOMEWHAT EGoTISTIcAL-
'tNor is the German emperor after war.
He is not ready yet His renewed severe
treatment of Alsace-Lorraine is directed
against US Boulangists and not in order to
provoke France to war. He wishes to
weaken my influence in Paris. He knows
that his army is not yet completely fur
nished with new rifles, nor familiar with
their handling. He sees Italy falling
away from the triple alliance and
Russia threatening him as never before on
the north. And at home he has to deal
with Prince Bismarck and the socialists.
So be will not run into war yet. His recent
attempt to make up with US was to gain
time. He sent his mother on mere to
smooth the way for his own coming. But
/ and my friends could never have en-
dured his presence in Paris. In fact,
we swore that # ne came he
should never leave this city
alive But he will not come now. He sees
by the reception given his mother, which
was dignified but decided, that he could not
come. So we have saved Paris this indig-
nifty of having TO open its gates to the
grandson of William, and the son Of
Frederick, who trod our streets as con-

Marine band was present. There was
pretty, but simple luncheon. There were
presents and games, but the chief joy OF
baby Mckee was his first pair of
Knickerbockers, which he proudly exhib-
tied to all corners. Even the elaborate
toast to his health proposed by the 4-year-
old son of Inspector Breckridge, and
drunk in Potomac water, did not impress
him as they did. Among the children
present was Kilbourn Gordon, grandson of
Senator Gordon Of Georgia.

AHMADOU THE MIGHTY.
A Chocol Sultan Who Has
Long Fought the French in Africa.

A Chocolate olored Sultan Who Has
Long Fought the French in Africa.
From the ST. Louis Republic.
Sultan Ahmadou is one of three powerful
rulers who contested almost step by step
the advance of France up the Senegal river,
and TO the Niger. Ahmadou is the last of
these rulers to succumb to the power of
France. The French have finally cleared
the field of their most formidable foes, and
it is certain that the stormiest period of the
French occupation of Senegambia is now
at an end.
Ahmadou has long ruled the large coun-
try north of the Senegal river, extending to
the Niger. His stronghold on that river
was Segu-Sikoro, where he had large fort
with very thick wooden walls, which, in
the opinion of Frenchmen who had passed
it on the river, could never be taken except
by cannonade.
Last year Segu-Sikoro fell into the hands
of the French during the absence Of Alma
dou in the northwestern part of his terri
tory, where he had another stronghold at
Moro, in the large district of Kaarta. The
French were very jubllant over the fall of
Segu-Sikoro. Ahmadou had given them
far more trouble than any other of their
fanatical foes.
In 1887 he made treaty of peace with
France, but it was not long before he vio-
lated his promises and resumed his old pol
icy of giving battle to France every time
her forces made an advance.

CINCINNATI, o., March 16.-Fred B.
Woods, proprietor of the Knopp Union
Shooting park, on Glenway avenue, Price

last night, and died to-day. Late this
afternoon a sensation was caused by the ap-
pearance Of Will A. Stevens, of the we'll

tendent of police, accom- panied by his at
toruey, Judge M. F. Wilson, where he
made voluntary statement that he fired
the shot which killed Woods
THE SHOOTING ACCIDENTAL.
By advice of his attorney he refused to
say anything further than that the shooting
was accidental. 1t was said that there has
been an effort made to cover up the fact,
but that it has been discovered that Stevens
has been in the habit OF visiting the place
with Mrs. Armstrong, niece of Woods;
that they were there last night near mid
night, and that Stevens, in the presence of
Woods, was showing a new self-cocking
pistol. Suddenly there was a report and
Woods soon afterward exclaimed: al am
shot" He refused to tell who shot him.
RETURNED TO THE CITY.

city, and, until he voluntarily made his
statement to the superintendent of police,
it was not known who fired the fatal shot
There is nothing known of the relations of
the two men to justify suspicion that the
tragedy had any other cause than an acct
dental one, and if there had been no
attempt at concealment the sensation would
have been less profound. Stevens is Inan-
ager of the establishment with which he is
connected, and not long ago served as one
OF the police commissioners of Cincinnati.
