Irish acceptance Of the measure. 1t gives us
substantial control over our domestic affairs.
We should not be justified in resentiDg pro-
visions giving the minority adequate repre-
sen tation and providing for veto by the
crown and The supremacy of the Imperial
Parliament. The second Chamber will
doubtless be considerable of drag, and the
franchise of 920 will probably insure a ma
jOrity of the members of the Council for
Tory landowners who are certain to COM
blne against any extravagant proposals on
the part OF the popular Chamber. This.
however. Is not likely to be the stumbling
block, as the Nationalists do not contem-
plate revolutionary programme.
1.-THE programme of the Nationalist
would be sympathetic and patriotic, COM
bining all sensible people in the work of
advancing the business interests of Ireland.
Tue police arrangements" added O'Brien,
"are practically those agreed upon with
Parnell at Boulogne. The bulk of the
present force would doubtless be re-engaged
under Irish authority. The checks upon
the appointment of Judges are irksome, but
possibly useful. There are now too many
Judges in Ireland, but the chances are the
more rabd of these will retire on pensions.
TT is sacrifice to demand that Irisbmen
shall be debarred from touching the land
question for three years. We recognize that
compromise Is reasonable. but must press
for power to check the present Land Com
missoners in the meantime from saddlng
easeholders with rack rents. lrshmen
will probably assent to reduction of men,

John Burns, the Labor member for Bat
tersea said he was greatly pleased with the
bill, although from a democratic point of
view it was not an ideal measure. He objected
to the veto power reserved to the crown, to
the second Chamber, and especially to the
election of that Chamber by a limited fran
ehise. Burns added that notwithstanding
these objections he would certainly support
tho measure.

CHILE GETS EXCITED.
There Is Rumor That Egan Is to
Be an Arbitrator.
The Story Has Caused Great Excite
ment and the Government VIII
Enter a Protest.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

VALPARAISO, Feb. 14-There is great
excitement in Santiago and Valparaiso over
the report that United States Minister Egan
Is to be appointed one of the arbitrators on
the part of the United States against the
Chilean Government. The appointment of
Egan to any position in connection with the
settlement of these claims, which have long
been pending and which have been rejected
on several occasions, would be accepted by
the Government and the people of Chile as
an act of hostility and would put the diplo-
matte relations between this republic
and the United States under a Sc
we're strain. Should Egan receive such an
appointment, a strong protest from the
Chilean Government may be expected.
Egan is non persona grata to the Chilean
Government. and he is also known to have
close relations with Dubois, who holds the
leading claims against Chile, but the pro-
test, If one should be officially made, would
be founded on the charge that his attitude
toward the Chilean Government has been
offensive and insulting

PREMIER GRESHAM
Mr.. Cleveland Makes the
Announcement.
NOTHING SECRET ABOUT II
AS Fast as the Cabinet Officers Accept
Their Names Will Be Given
to the Public.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

LAKEWOOD, Feb. IA. - President-elect
Cleveland officially announced the names
of four members of his Cabinet through the
Associated Press this evening. They are
Walter O. Gresham of Illinois. Secretary OF
State; John G. Carlisle Of Kentucky, Sec
retary of the Treasury; Daniel S. Lamont
Of New York, Secretary of War, and Wilson
S. Bissell of Buffalo, POstmaster-General.
In making the announcements Cleveland
said: "There is no need of any mystery Ia
regard to the Cabinet. and 1t is useless to
indulge in speculation and guesswork. I
shall make no secret of the matter, but shall
announce the names of the gentlemen se-
lected to fill the positions as fast as Ireceiye
their acceptanees and their permission to
make the matter public"
Cleveland would say nothing in regard to
the other positions or the men who are
mentioned in connection with them. 1t is
evident that Hoke Smith. Hilary A. Her
bert and others who have been mentioned
are still under consideration.
Senator John Martin of Kansas and DR..
S. j. Nealy of the same State had long
talk with Cleveland to-day. They put in a
strong claim for the selection of ex-Goy-
ernor j. w. Click, and left Lakewood in
ha ppy frame of mind.
The Advertiser says: Acquaintance of
Senator Vest of Missouri say to-day that he
told Cleveland some plain facts yesterday
when al Lakewood. Vest took the journey
by request of Cleveland. Cleveland asked
Vest what he thought of GTesham's selec-
tion. and the latter promptly replied he
thought it great mistake. and that il would
prove very discouraging to Democrats who
hoped for Cabinet made up of men who
had always stood by the party. As for a
fight being made against confirmation, Vest
said he did not believe there was any danger
of that Cleveland listened very patiently
and made DO criticism Of tho Democrats
who talk on Gresham, further han to say
that he believed they would all agree in that

chartered at a northern port and is now en-
route to Key West, where it was expecte
to arrive to-day. her hold is well balasted
with cannon. Gatling guns and field artil-
lery, sufficiently formidable when in des-
perSte hands to make way against the Gov

II Is ALL SETTLED.
The Senate Will Follow the Popular
Demand.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14-Under Washing
ton date the Tribune says: There is reason
for believing, as far as the executive branch
of the Government is concerned, that ne
gotiations for the annexation Of Hawaii are
about to be, If indeed they have not already
been, concluded. The proposed meeting
to-day Of the Secretary of State and the
Hawaiian commiss ssioners did not take
place, owing to the fact that Secretary FOs-
ter desired to attend the meeting Of the
American members Of the Monetary Con-
ference at Senator Allisnn's house. but to-
morrow morning the treaty for annexation.
this being the form in which it is believed
the final result Of the negota tions will find
expression. is to be signed ana transmitted
TO the President The probability there
fore, is in day OF two, at any rate before
the close 1f the week, the whole matter will
be before the Senate In the shape of q
treaty to be ratified. amended or rejected.
In the present temper of the Senate and in
view Of the almost unanimous public senti-
ment in favor of annexation there is little
OF no doubt that body will give its assent
promptly TO the arrangement concluded by
the administration. IL may be there will
be some amendments suggested In the minor
and non-essentlal details. but broadly
speaking there seems to be no serious opp0-
alton to the principle Of annexation.

RISING RAPIDLY.
The Ohio River Passes the Danger
Line at Cincinnati,

CINCINNATI, Feb. 14.-The river Is nearly
six feet and a half above the danger line
and Is rising rapidly. There was heavy
rainfall in this vicinity all this afternoon
and evening. and this is probably the cause.
More rain is threatening at midnight and
serious consequences are feared. The river
has risen two and a half inches in the last
hour.

the city are taking precautions TO guard
against damage by flood. as the water has

COMIC-OPERA POLITICS.
That Seems to Be the Sort They Have
in Kansas.

TOPEKA, Feb. l4-This aftern DON. by
order of the Republican House, B. G. Rich,
clerk of the Populist House, was arrested
in restaurant by the sargeant-at-arms of
the Republican House. on the charge OF
contempt OF court. The Populists at once
rallied, f0rcbly released him and escorted
him to the Governors office.
During the conflict two Republicans were
knocked down and several men on each
side were badly bruised by blows from
fists. The encounter occurred in the very
center Of the city, and created the greatest
excitement. Later Rich was triumphantly
escorted into the hall of the House of Rep
resentatiyes, his wife holding one arm and
Representative Wordsworth OF AtchisOn
the other. His appearance in the hall was
greeted with cheers and the clapping Of
hands.
Speaker Dunsmore. in calling the House
to order, referred to the street encounter,
laying all the blame to the Republican
House and defending the course of the
Populists. After the roll was called the
following preamble and resolution were
adopted:
WHEREAS. An attempt was made TO ar
rest the chief clerk of this House by an
organized mob calling themselves the Re-
publican House Of Representatives. but
which we believe in reality to be the Santa
Fe Railroad; therefore be it
ResOlred, That we, the legally organized
and constitutional House of Representa-
tives, proclaim to the State of Kansas that
the mob was foiled, and "our flag is still
there"
Later the Republicans swore out warrants
before Judge Chesney. charging Represen-
tatve Ryan and Reading Clerk s. M. Scott
with assault and battery. A constable ap-
peared in the hall to arrest them, and Ryan,
after con sulting with his friends, announced
that he would neither 90 with the constable
nor give bond for bis appearance. The
constable fingered, grim and determined,
and announced that he would make the ar
rests even IL he had TO summon posse. No
attempt to make the arrest in the House
was made.
The constable, finding that an attem pit to
make the arrest while such great excite
ment prevailed might precipitate serious
trouble, made no attempt to serve the war
rants and will not until tomorrow. He may
not then even unless the situation calns
do wn materially.
The Republicans, however, are deter
mined to effect the arrest of the Populist
clerk. Rich. and the Populists are deter
mined to defend him against arrest.
Speaker Douglass this afternoon issued a
call for volunteers to serve as assistant
sergeants-at-arms TO aid the sergeant-at-
arms in effecting Rch's arrest. At 10
o'clock tonight 80 men had responded to
the call and taken the oath of Office.
The P0pulist Speaker, Densmore. swore
10 twenty assistant sergeahts to act as a
bodyguard for Chief Clerk Rich. If trouble
results the Governor announces his inten-
tion Of calling out the militia to disperse
the Republican "mob' and to maintain
peace.
