THE LAND LEAGUE.
Seven Hundred Delegates Ex-
pected in Chicago.


CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Seyen hundred
Irishtnen, delegates to the national
convention of the Irish Land League of
America, are expected to arrive in this
city next Thursday. They represent
nearly every land league IN America
and many other Irish societies as. well.
John Fitzgerald, of Lincoln, Neb., pres
ident of the American Land League,
who has been very i'll for some time, has
so far recovered that he is expected to
be present and preside at the delibera-
tons of the convention.
j. P. Sutton, secretary of the National
Land League, said tonight: Zone of
the main objects of the convention will
be to inaugurate movement that will
eventually result in the restoration of
the 100000 now held by Parnell and
Justin Mccarthy in Paris to the pur-
pose for which it was originally intend
ed, the benefit of the poor in Ireland.
This money was contributed by the
land leagues for that purpose, and we
wish to see it used in that way. There
is no fear that our convention will not
be harmonious. While Parneli I'M
doubtedly will have both followers and
opponents Ill the convention, yet loyal
ty for the mother country will fuse all
differences, and the convention will be
success"

CowardIy Indiana Scoundrels Do
Barbarous Work.
BIRDS EYE, Ind, Sept. 26.-This
county is once more diSgraced by mob
work, which is doubly disgraceful in
that it is perpetrated upon defense
less woman. Mrs. Harmon, a woman
of rather loose character, lived at Men
tor. one mile west of here. Last night
she was visited by body of thirty men,
who tied her to a p st near her house
and applied fifty lashes to her bare
body. After performing their work.
they called upon another woman named
Mrs. Freeman (of like character) and
warned her to leave the place within
twenty-four hours, or they would treat
her TO the same dose. She Immediately
departed.
Then the White Caps called upon ia
cob Sapenfeld, and ordered him to visit
Mrs. Harmon and publish to the neigh
bors, under penalty of twenty-five
lashes, what they had done, and that
they had punished the Harmon woman
because of her bad name. When Sapen-
field visited the. woman, he found her
tied to post, naked, with the eXcep-
ton of one undergarment, which was
turned over her head. Her body was
torn from neau 10 lou DIS l! ny d hllllO'
one terrible wound, bleeding from ev-
cry pore, while across her abdomen
was deep cash twelve inches long and
so deep as to leave the bowels exposed,
and scattered around were great hick-
ory switches with which the woman
had been flayed. No one knows who
composed the mob, nor whence they
came. though nearly every citizen in
town saw them by the light of the
moon. The community is enraged that
such an awful thing should have hap
pened in their midst. Mrs. Harmon
and her daughter we're whipped in
Birds Eye two years ago, just before
they moved to Mentor.

FRANCE IS TRANQUIL.

Turkeys Explanation ana Will
Jams Sentimentality Ignored.
PARIS, Sept 26.-At the close of
week having had for one Of its leading
political features an explanation that
explains nothing, made by the Turkish
government, which finds in funda-
mental and inherent weakness the
mainstay Of its influence in the destlnies
OF Europe, France is. perhaps, the most
TRANQUIL nation on the continent.
French statesmen, politicians and jour
nalists alike confne themselves to the
manifestation of a languid interest in
what the English Tory administration
and press may do or say with regard to
the peculiarly inconsequental COM
munication from ConstantinOple. The
matter is not one which in any marked
degree eXcites interest in the discussion
here.
The alleged sentimentally peaceful
outgivings of the German emperor at
the table of the Austrian Archduke AL
brecht, as reported by the Vienna cor
respondent of the London Standard and
reprinted in Paris newspapers, have fall
en- quite fiat. The only serious COM
ment heard on the reported utterances
of the imperial oracle is that the power
to command peace or war for Europe
has passed away from both kaiser and
dreibund. 1t is true. however, that the
gentlemen of the Patriotic league and
few of the more bellicose members of
the governmental party supplement
this opinion with the declaration that
France and Russia are now to the fore,
and propose to remain there. whatever
may be the cost. Again, there are thou
sands of thoughtful Frenchmen who de-
cline to believe that man tit to be the
leader of the great German people
would indulge in such twaddle as has
been placed in his mouth by the English

Missouri Robbers Completely strip
San Antoine.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Sept. 26.-Shortly
after ~ o'clock Thursday night band
of armed men invaded the little village
of San Antoine, seven miles eastof here,
and robbed every store Ill the town.
The men worked quietly but speedily,
and the first intimation had of the visit
was yesterday morning when Henry
Gloss, who keeps a general store, came
down to open up. His place of bust
ness had been Quilted completely, not
enough groceries and clothing being
left to fit out small family.
On the alarm being given it was dis
covered that the postoffice had been
robbed, every ounce of matter, includ-
Ing large number of registered letters,
being carried off. Two hardware stores
and a blacksmith shop in addition were
found to have been looted, everything
they contained being carried off. The
stuff taken, which comprised the entire
stock in trade of every merchant in the
village, must have been loaded into
wagons and driven into the deep woods
surrounding the place. From thence the
thieves evidently expected to get it into
st. Joseph or Kansas City. When the
exc itement cooled down mounted
band of vigilants were hastily armed,
and are now securing the country in
pursuit of the raiders.

fifteen years, ana represented for the
past three years, and until couple of
weeks ago, Tuckerman 81 Cotton, job

Utica firm to cover expenses. and they
have always been honored heretofore.
On Sept. 10 Watson was in Duluth, sold
some goods and drew three sight drafts
for 500 each, getting three different
friends to cash them. He then left
town, going west. Last Thursday a
telegram was received here from Tuck
erman & Cotton, saying WATSON is no
longer in our employ. Arrest him to
protect yourself.n The telegram also
stated that Watson had victimized mer-

dollars in the same manner. Though
over fifty years old, Watson was always

probably been his ruin. Detectives are
on his track, and expect to catch him.

LONDON, Sept. ga st. Petersburg
dispatch says that everything is ready
for an advance by land and sea toward
the Turkish capitol whenever the car
gives the word, and there is a nervous
feeling that it may be given at any mo-
ment. The Russian army officers are
known to be anxious for fight, and the
present czar. like his predecessors, has
always great respect for army senti-
ment. 1t was the Russian army, with
out direct authority from the cZar, that
nearly brought about conflict with
England in 1875, when the cZar repudi-
ated and rewarded the action of his
officers, and the same desire to measure
swords and win promotion is now
stronger than ever.

THE CHINESE MIDDLE.
England's Peculiar Position
OverZealous Missionaries.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-The message of
the Chinese government, showing that
English subjects are largely engaged in
encouraging rebellion and use of dyna-
mite as a means of destroying the eS
tablished order of things in China, has
fallen like bombshell ON the British
foreign Office. For months past the
British government has been posing as
the champion of civilization against the
unregenerat,e Chinese, and British yes
sells of war have been ready to lead the
other powers in the commandment Of
Chinese cities as penalty for not pre-
serving order. And now it turns out
that the men who are making protita-
BILE business of disorder are British sub
jects. who have been importing rifles
and explosives for the use of sue 2
tives as might be induced C d =
designs.
The British authorities in I.nna nave
been promptly instructed to make their
investigation as to the guilt of the ac-
cused as thorough and searching as pos
sible. Meantime the other powers are
III quandary relative to future action.
The treaty binds them to act in con-
junction with England, but England's
right to interfere is diScradited. and is
practically annulled by the develop
ments above alluded to. 1t is even
claimed that the British subjects under
arrest in China were merely the agents
for wealthy clique in hong Kong who
see profit for themselves in melting the
Chinese to civil war.
Sensible foreigners at Shanghai favor
the stand taken by the Chinese govern
meDt. One of Shanghai's most promi-
nent foreign merchants is quoted as
authority for the statement that the
missionaries are altogether too aggres-
siye in going counter to the traditions
and prejudices of the people, and that
thereby they often provoke popular
demonstrations of violence, which are
intended simply as protest against the
| intolerable. This is the view recently
urged by Chinese magistrate upon the
| foreigners of Shanghai, and it has met
with many fayorable responses.
