The Home Rule Bill.

LONDON, Feb. 2O-Thc News
this morning maintains that near
lY nine-tenthS of the difficulties
raised in a debate by the opponents
of the Home Rule bill, have been re-
moved by the publication Of the
text of that measure. The News
discusses the financial clauses of the
measure at great length, pointing
out the immense cost of troops and
armed police in Ireland, which
will be saved to the British tax
PAYERS if the bill becomes law.
The Telegram say: "The measure
is even more recklessly perilOus to
the peace and safety of the empire
and more fruitful of difficulty and
complication in the details than
the bill of 1886"
The Post says: "The bill is es-
sentially framed to catch by its
brilliant vagueness, the vote of all
who might sickle over it, We're its
lines more precise"

derived from the argument. The
committee appointed recently to
look into the matter of city evan
gelistic services, made a report
which was adopted, and Judge
Fleming was requested to secure
a permit from the council to oc-
cupy various places in the city for

Charley Mitchell Knocked Out.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Mitchell,
the English pugilist, visited the
saloon of Jim Wakely Zone of Sui
livan's backers) and tried to use
the methods on the barkeepers
there, which he had so successfully
employed on old man Savage, in
London. Mitchell and his friends
drank freely during the evening,
and at about o'clock the effect of
the liquor began to tell. He rebuked
the barkeepers for their slowness
and called one man "stitf." The
Americans resented the insult
and told Mitchell to keep quiet.
He replied with profanity and the
barkeepers made for him with
bottles. They struck him over
the head and drew blood from
his nose, but his friends inter-
fered and got him out of the
saloon. They placed "Gentleman"
Charley in a cab and carried him
back to his hotel, knocked out in
one round in the first fight of
his present visit to this country.

A Sensational Turn.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-A special
from Kansas City, kas., says: "The
Cherokee strip matters have taken
a new and somewhat sensational
turn since the publication of the
fact that congress is not likely to
ratify the treaty in time for the
HOmesteaderS to put in a crop
this spring and advice to them is
to rent farms in Kansas and Okla
hOma out of which to make a liv-
ing during the coming year. This
disregard of congress for necessities
of people has caused great excite
ment here and permanent organ
iZatiOn has been perfected, with
the aVOWed determination to go
upon and occupy the lands Of the
strip ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS waiting
for the action Of congress. a gener-
al mass meeting of all boomers has
been called to meet at Cole, Just
over the line, south of this place,
on next Wednesday, at II o'clock,
to set day for the invasion and to
perfect systematic plan of pro-
cedure. Very few people have any
conception of the condition of the
people who are waiting to find
homes on the strip, or of the suffer-
ing that will ensue if the lands
are not opened this spring in time
to make crops. The people are
desperate and at the meeting next
Wednesday they will certainly de-
termine to coupon the strip, put in
crops and wait the consequences.
