An Extraordinary Demonstration Takes
Place in Dubiin, Ireland.
LONDON, Oct l0-The Dublin corre-
spondent of the Times sends o dispatch to
his paper. in which he describes the extraor-
dinary demonstration which took place in
that city to-day in honor of the memory of
ParnelL He says: "Almost every person
displayed mourning badge or emblem,
generally of ivy. Many Irish members of
the House of Commons and other admirers
of Parnell marched the whole distance to his
tomb. John Howard Parnell, brother Of
the late Irish leader, and some relatives of
Mrs. arneli attende as mourners The
Waterford, Limerick, Kilkenny, Drogheda,
and Clonuel corporations were fully repre-
sented. The Rev. Richard Gregory, of New
York, was among the large number OF per-
sons who visited the grave.
sThe procession occupied an hour in
passing given point No decorations were
to be seen in the city, but the attitude of
the populace was sympathetic and respect
tul. Perfect order was maintained through
out the day. The appearance ofthe Fenian
Stephens at the grave, evoked bursts of ap-
plause. Mrs Parnell, who was absent
sent beautiful wreath to be placed on the
grave The Times editorially saws: This i'm
pressive demonstration is an illustration OF
Mr.. Gladstone.s S maladroit dealing with
suspicious anu capricious national day.
1t is not so obvious that the buying aud
selling of the Irish vote for exclusive bene-
fit of the Irish priesthood is such profitable
operation"

The Second Explorer in Equatorial Africa
Eaten by the Savages.
New York SUM-
A few months ago the French explorer,
DE Poumayrac, assembled the Mobangi trib-
utarv of the Kongo to its big northern bend,
and then padded up the newly discovered
affluent, the Kotto river. He made the
Journey for the purpose of c)nferring with
Chief Pakuru of the Sakhara tribe. He was
we'll received by this chief, whose relatio ms
with all white men have been excellent in
the little time they have known him.
Upon his return journey southwark, how
ever, Mr.. De Poumayrac came into collision
With the Bubus This tribe has for long
time been at war with the Sakharas, who have
been bent upon subjugating the Babus ).
though they have not yet succeeded. 1t
happened, unfortunately, that number of
Sakharas were members OF the explorers S
party, and it is supposed that this fact
was the occasion for the fierce attack
which the Bubus made upon the travellers.
The white expedition was suddenly as
sailed by large force of natives armed
with lances and knives. All the survivors
of the fight declare that the Bubus fred 20
gun. Soon after the fight began Mr.. De
Poumayrac was wounded in the side by
lance thrust. The Bubus carried him alive
into their village. where they murdered him.
Only q few members of his party escaped,
and made their way to the white post on
the Mobangi.
The explorer and all his comrades who
were taken prisoners were eaten, and the
carnbal orgies of the Bubus ext ended
over a period of several days This is the
second instance of a white traveller being
killed aud eaten by cannibals in Africa.
The first instance occurred about two years
ago, not very far from the place where the
recent tragedy occurred. The commander
of French station, with his handful of
men, were all butchered and eaten.

CARNEGIE ON TARIFF.
He Gives His Views on the Necessity for
Protection in the United States.

He Gives His Views on the Necessity for
Protection in the United States.
LONDON, Oct 10-Mr. Andrew Carnegie,
writing from his residence in Scotland, con-
tributes a long letter on free trade and ma
tional wealth to the Times Mr.. Carnegie
says he believes as firmly as the Times free
trade is not only best, but that it Is neces-
sary for Great Britain, but for a new con-
tinent with undeveloped resources it may
be the best policy to temporarily protect,
through import duty, certain articles in
order to secure the home supply. Mr.. Car
negie adds that he cannot see how any
thinking man can be protectionist or free
trader for Great Britain. If England, by
protecting her food products could have
the same experience the United States has
had with steel it would be her duty to pro-
tect them. but if she had the Republics
experience with sugar it would be folly.
Mr.. Carnegie then expounds the views
of American protectionists He says that
the high cost of living of the American
workingman is thing of the past. He
can buy more with pound in the United
States than can the English workmen with
the same sum in Great Britain. In con-
cluding his letter Mr. Carnegie says he
thinks that the law of surplus that enables
Maine granite to be sold in Aberdeen
cheaper than the Scotch article, that en-
ables American agricultural machines to
drive out all others in Europe will prove in
the near future much more important
factor than tariffs.

strong fight for her admission. She bad re-
moved her hat, and her magnificent fore
head and classic profile, altogether enc of
the most intellectual countenances and
craniums to be found among the "stroDg-
minded" women of the country, attracted
general attention. and aroused inquiry with
everyone to discover her identity.
Not a Ceremony of Any Length.
When the brief ceremony of induction of
the new Justice was ended, the whole per-
formanee after the entrance of the Justice
occupying less than i've minutes, and after
several attorneys were admitted to practice
before this court, the court was adjourned
until tomorrow.
Free comment was heard on every side
in regard to the appearance Of the new JUS
tice, and it is unnecessary to say that it was
all complimentary. In the brief time dur
ing which Justice Shiras had been before
the spectators they had read him and had
seen in his fnely-moulded features and dig
nIfied bearing, proof of a character that
could not be otherwise than an honor and
all ornament to the bench in which he is
henceforth to occupy a seat. From those
who are accustomed to spend much of their
time in the precincts of this court room,
the opinion seemed to be unanimous that,
so far as they could decide, the appointment
of Justice Shiras is one of the best that has
been made in long years.
With the adjournment of the court those
who knew Justice Shiras pressed about him
to congratulate him, with many strangers
who desired to meet him, and the express
sions of qualification and of good will were
as hearty as the most enthusiastic admirers
of the man could have wished. But before
these reached him the Justice had stepped
quickly down from his chair to the pew
where sat the members of his family, and
exchanged greetings with them, his first
remark being that it did not seem to require
much time or trouble to become Justice
of the Supreme Court.
A Beautiful Day for the Ceremony.
Several of the associate Justices had not
met Justice SHiras until to-day, but all ex-
pressed themselves as being greatly pleased
with their new brother on the bench IT
there be anything in weather aug uries, the
time was certainly propitious for the intro
duction of the Justice to his new honors.
The day was perfect, with balmy, brac-
ing atmosphere. and ore of those autumn
suns which seem to shine so brightly
almost nowhere else as in Washington; and
it must have appeared to the new Justice
and his friends that all nature had chosen
to smile upon the ceremony which places
for the second time in the history of the
a citizen of Pittsburg upon the
roster which is still brief after
the lapse of the first century OF the Re
public.

AN EXTRAORDINARY ROW.

Secretary Noble Dismisses Clerk for Max
ing a Partisan observation-disclosures Sec
retary Bussey and His Superior Now to
Have Whirl at the Matter.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-lSpecia. Much
curiosity is felt to know what will be the
outcome of the extraordinary row that has
sprung from that gigantic mandatory OF
fuses, the Pension Bureau, on account. OF
the dismissal of Clerk Baber, who was the
author of supplementary decision on
law point in which he took occasion to
cast slur on President Cleveland.
Secretary Noble, to whom the decision
was referred for his final signature, in the
absence of Assistant Secretary Bussey, de-
clared with good deal Of i'll temper that
he did not want any partisanship inter-
jected in the decisions of the Pension
Bureau. Clerk Baber answered with as
perIty that the decision had been written
at the request of Assistant Secretary Bus
sey, to whom he had read it and by whom
it had been indorsed. Both Mr.. Noble and
Clerk Baber got angry, used unparliament-
arv language, and Baber was sunlmarily
dismissed, though he now claims that he
had written out and forwarded his resigna-
tion before his dismissal was received.
The despicable thing about the act of
Clerk Baber is that he was an appolntee of
the Cleveland administration, and in this
opinion evidently desired to use language
that would commend him to this admins
tration. Whether Secretary Noble dis
missed him on account of the wording of
the decision, or for the insulting language
used toward him when he censured Baber,
is not yet developed. The interesting
phase of the matter is the possibility that
it will create serious breach between Sec
retary Noble and Assistant Secretary
Bussev. There is no doubt that the
decision had been read to the latter and
that he approved it. The censure Of the
Secretary is therefore an affront TO General
Bussey more than to Clerk Baber, and as
the General is not gifted with an angelic
temper, it is probable that he and Secretary
Noble may have hotter words about the
matter than will reach the ears of the pub
lie.
General Bussev reached home to-day. but
as Secretary Noble departed for New York
at about the time of the Generals arrival
1t Is probable the settlement of the affair
may be deferred for several DAYS. Repub-
lican spoilsmen seem to be the only persons
to be congratulated on account of the oc-
currence. They reflect that there is one
more Democratic officehoder out of the way
who ought to have been removed long ago.

Jerry Simpson, the Kansas statesman,
who is credited with an invincible prejudice
against hosiery, has told the story OF his
first attendance of circus. By dint of
hard work for some time previous to the
event, he had accumulated the immense sum
of S4.

great, but the animals is what caught me.
I'd never seen anything wilder than wood
chuck, and really can't see that the animals
have grown much lately. I felt nearly as
big as the beasts themselves, for the other
fellows had no money and was the capi-

Women in the Ohio Penitentiary Nearly
Killed in Tub.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 10. .-[SpecidL ]-For
the past week there have been sensational
rHmors of the shameful and scandalous pun
ishment said to have been and still being
inf cted On female prisoners in the Ohio
Penitentiary. 1t is said that on one occa-
sion a woman who had been guilty of an
infraction of the rules was punished so
severely with the cumming bird'' as
to bring on serious illness, and that
her life was in danger for some
time; that this mode of punish
ment with the "humming bird" was
recent limo vation in the female DEPART
ment, having previously been used only in
the punishment of males, and that for the
purpose of such punishment the males are
entirely disrobed and placed in tub of
water. Mrs. Kissinger, the matron, does
not deny the cumming bird' is used to
punish female convicts.
The people here are shocked, and an effort
will be made through the warden and Board
of Directors to have this punishment done
away with and something less shameful
substituted.

BRITISH FARMERS BADLY OFF.

Losses in Wheat Make Disastrous Inroads
on Their Annual Income.
LONDON, Oct 10.-In commenting upon
a special account of the condition of the
British crops published in its columns, the
Times says; ''The conclusion ON the whole
case is that the present year will be a dis
astrous one for the British farmer The
chief loss will be in wheat, while there will
be no adequate set off in any other crop.
The outlook for the winter is gloomy for
all classes, and it becomes grave question
through it.
Considering the continued shrinkage of
wheat cultivation, the Times advises farmers
to turn their attention to high class dairy
produce.

Some Interesting Trees.

One OF the most prominent memorial
trees at Washington is one planted by our
first President before the dawn of this GEN.
tury. This is large American elm on the
north side of what is called the East Park,
facing the Senate entrance to the Capitol.
Another very interesting tree is plane
tree, which was planted in 1862 in the
Botanic Garden inclosure by Thaddeus
Stevens In 1870 this tree was threatened
with destruction by the overflow of the
Potomac, and was removed bodily to Lin
coin Park, 10 squares distant
