A pleasant railroad ride of hundreds

THE CONVICTS AT WORK.
They Go Back Unaccompanied by Troops
and the Latter Return Home.

The convicts recently forcibly removed from
the mines at Coal Greek and Briceville, Tenn,
are again at work, having been taken back on
Saturday without the aid Of state troops Gov.
Buchanan accompanied the prisoners and saw
the m safely back in the mines.
He left Knoxville Saturday afternoon for
Nashville and promised to call special sessi on
of the legislature by September Is to consider
the lease system. The feeling of the miners in
east Tennessee and eastern Kentucky is any
thing but that of harmony and good will to-
ward the state officials. They feel that they
have failed in their efforts to have convicts re-
moved. The situation is not one of brightness
owing to new guards at the convict mines and
the dissatisfaction OF many merchants and
farmers who are not miners but financially in
terested- 1t will be with difficulty peace is
kept The state troops have gone TO their homes
throughout the state and will be kept in readi-
ness to return if called for.
The stOckade now being erected at the COM
panys mines will soon be completed and if the
contract IS carried out the convicts must be
put to digging coal. This cannot be done
without the aid of troops and the scenes Of the
past few days seem probable. The residents of
east Tennessee are against the convicts work
ing, but the people of middle and west Ten
nessee are inclined to make il political mat
ter. and talk as fiery as that INDUCED in in the
sixties is often heard by members of all politi-
cal parties
In the meantime the commerce of the city of
Knoxville has resumed its normal state and all
is quiet on the streets.

SEIZED BY THE RUSH.
A British Sealing Schooner Ordered Home

by the War ship Nymphe.
The sealing schooner f. b. Marvin returned
to Victoria. B. c., Saturday night. having been
seized by the American cutter Rnsh in attempt
ing to enter Bering sea after having been
warned by the Rush at Sand Point not to do SO.
The Rush chased her into Ounalaska, seized
her and handed her over to the British WIZ ship
Nymphe. by whom she was ordered horne.
The, Marvin brought news that on July the
sealer La Nymphe Of San Francisco we fred
on by the Thetis between st. George and St.
Paul islands. She tried to escape from the
Thetis, but was brought up by shot An
other schooner. name unknown. was also fired
on, but succeeded in escaping. A few hours
after the Marvin arrived the schooner Walter
l.. Rich entered the harbor.
The captain of the Rich saws he WAS about to
enter Boring sea on July %, at Unimak Pass en-
trance to the sea, when he was met by the
United States gun boat Thetis and handed q
copy Of the proclamation. The captain was
then warned of the consequences should he
ignore the warning. The Rich cruised off the
pass for several days and then started for Vic
toria. She got twenty-one skins after being
notified by the Thetis.
At o'clock yesterday morning the schooner
Ainoks entered the harbor of Victoria. The
captain reports that seventeen British and
American sealing schooners were caught June
20 off Alitka bay by the United States steamer
1hetis and warned not to enter Bering sea on
pain Of instant seizure. The captain of the
Anoka decided to abide by the order and re-
turned to Victoria, but some of the schooners
intended to try and enter Boring sea and hunt
reals on the Russian side. The Ainoka left
Alitka bay June %.
Sealing is certainly stopped in Boring sea,
and all the Victoria fleets are now on the way
home The entrance to Bering sea is effectually
blocked and is now pstrolled by five American
and two British war vessels. The latter are the
Nymphe and the Pheasant, and the United
States war vessels are the revenue cutters
Bear, Rush and Corwin and the gun boats Thetis
and Mohican.

POLITICS IN ENGLAND.
Eject Of Sir Charles Fosters Death-Liber,
Success and Home Rule

Eject Of Sir Charles Fosters Death-Liberal
Success and Home Rule.
The death last night of Sir Charles Foster,
member of parliament for Walsall. England. is
not likely to lead to an exciting contest The
conservatives may contest the borough as a
matter Of form. but it has been steadily
liberal under all administrations for fifty years,
it is not likely that there will be any change
now. Nevertheless, old Sir Charles will be
missed in parliament. He was one Of the land
marks, having represented Walsall since 1852.
He was not an aggressive partisan. and it has
been limited that only his personal attachment
to Mr.. Gladstone, who made him a baronet,
kept him from joining the ranks of liberal
unionism. His death is the removal of another
of the men who. with nv. Gladstone serve to link
together the wings Of the past with the radicals
of the present, and to keep the moderates and
extremists together under one party guidance.
At the last election Sir Charles was returned
unopposed. In 1885 he had vote of s.. 112
against 3, f35 for the conservative candidate
A prominent liberal member of parliament
created something of a surprise in Irish circles
Saturday by his opinion, openly expressed. to
the effect that the recent liberal success boded
no good to the cause OF Irish home rule and
that, notwithstanding Mr.. Gladstone the lib
erals in the next parliament would not show a
majority for any bill giving Ireland a separate
government. He said substantially that En-
glish liberals were resolved to prevent the
Roman hierarchy in Ireland from ruling that
country and only Difference to Mr.. Gladstone
prevented formal declaration on the subiect
that the large liberal majority in North Cam
bridgeshire really meant that the home rule
question was out Of the way and the liberal
uniouists so regarded it and we're returning to
the party fold. The liberals had simply got
back their own. for they carried the district in
1885, before tine liberalization split. This view,
although not 80 openly expressed, is undoubt-
eddy held by many of the leading liberals in
parliament.

SARA BERSHARDT'S BIRTH.
Nothing to Substantiate the Story That She
is Native of Rochester.


Since the story from Oregon saving that
Sara Bernhardt first saw daylight in Rochester
instead of in the shadow of the orient Roches-
rerians have been saying: Here's hoping the
great Sara did have the good luck to be born in
Rochester" The New York Sons correspondent
started oat Saturday afternoon to find the
former home OF the actress and to find some
old citizen who remembered to have carried
hod for her father. but the search in both in
stances was futile. In his perambulations he
came across the summer liar. who is probably
more closely related 10 Mr.. Keable of Portland
than is the prima donna. The S. L. knew all
about it. oh" said he. "that explains IL.
Then he began to weave a tale of how
sara. on her late visit to Rochester mys-
teriously left her hotel disguised, procured
a hack and was driven through a sixth ward
alley; that when the hack stopped il WIS be-
fore an old. tumbled-down rookery. and how.
after walking around the place three times
and shedding few tears. she re-entered the
hack and was driven back TO the hotel II the
5 L. had stopped when half way through the
story II might have been believed, or had he
said that she went around tine house only once
before re-eutering the hack. not SO much
suspicion would have been aroused As a
matter OF fact, if Sara did go three times
around the house she did 1t to change her luck
which diIproves her Rochester origin for a
Rochester girl wouldn't dare to change her
luck at this stage of Ssra's career.
But besides all this a search through all the
city directories from the year 1886 to 1850 failed
to reveal the name Fine Field" Kingsley
hlrg." or even the name King borne by a plas-
terer or mason. The only explanation OF the
Portland story ia that Mr.. keabls has had a
dream concerning his fair and wealthy cousin:
in his wanaerings he has seen Lost Aunt
Sarah passing her youthful days in a beauti-
tut city of flowers. and mas therefore concluded
it must be the flower city.

Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul, 1t 10 Though
Will Wear the Red Hat

L IL
Will Wear the Red Hat.
News comes from Rome, says the New York
Herald, that it is practically settled that before
the end Of this year another cardinal will be
named for the United States. No hint has vet
been given as to the name of the prelate who
will be selected for the honor. Speculation on
the subject is rife among the Catholic papeIs.
The Herald goes on to say:
1t is generally supposed that the wearer of
the red hat will be a western man, although
Archbishop Williams of Boston is said to have
chance. The most prominent of those men
toned for the honor are the Most Rev. Peter
r. Kenrick, archbishop Of st. Louis. and the
Most Rev. John Ireland, archbishop of St. Paul,
MINI.
Archbishop Kenrick will celebrate the fiftieth
anniversary OF his conservation a bishop
next November. He is in his eighty-fifth year.
and those who think they know say that that
fact alone will prevent his promotion. Another
thing which, il is thought. will initiate against
him in Rome is the remembrance of his objec-
ton, In the vatican council of 1870, to the
dogma of papal infallibilIty. His objection was
not to the truth, but the appropriateness of
the doctrine. When it was defined he at once
accepted it.
Archbishop Ireland, ''the Father Mathew of
the west, Is regarded by MANY as the future
keane OF Richmond drew up report for the
pope on the subject of the Catholic University
In the United States.
He was one Of the most active workers in the
establishment of the university at Washington
he Is an able orator and conversationalist and
an ardent advocate of temperance. In the vat
lean council of 1870 he was the accredited rep
resentative OF Bishop Grace. While there he
made many friends by his earnestness and elo-
quence.
Archbishop Ireland was born in Burnchurch,
county Kilkenny, Ireland, on September H.
1888. His parents em;grated to the United
States when he was boy and settled in St.
Paul, Mimi, where he received his early edu-
cation. He then went to France and continued
his studies and returned to ST. Paul in 1851
He was ordained to the priesthood on Deem
Der Il of the same year by Bishop Grace
During the war he was chaplain of the fifth
Minnesota regiment
In February. 1875, he was chosen to succeed
Blshop y German In the vicariate of Nebraska
but through the efforts Of Bishop Grace the
appointment WAS Cancelled and he was nomi-
mated coadjutor bishop of st. Paul and conse-
Grated on December q, 1875. He succeeded to
the see Of st. Paul on July 81, 1854, and was
raised to the archiepiscopal dignity on May 10,
