ARE WATCHING MR.. WAITE.
Populist Representatives Deeply In
terested in the Denver Affair.

WASHINGTON. March 6.-Representa-
tives Pence and Bell of Colorado. both
Populists and party associates of Governor
Waite, are watching the riotous proceed
ings at Denver with keen interest. 1t
was thought they might see the Secretary
of War regarding the action of General
McCook of the regular army in centering
at Denver troops from Fort Logan. As
yet, however. no call at the VIZ Depart
ment has been made. There is doubt as
to which branch of the conflicting forces
invoked the protection of United States
troops. The Congressman believe the
Federal forces cnuld go no further than to
preserve the peace, and that they could
not act in the capacity of internal police to
advance the interest of one side or the
other. Representative Bell says the con-
tention is on question of law, and il is a
mistake to charge personal and political
animosities as the cause of 1t. He believes
peaceful settlement will he reached.

Passing of One of This States
Famous Corporations.
The Old Firm of Huntington s Hop.
kins Has Been Succeeded by
Another Company.

NEW YORK, March 16.-The announce
ment that c. 2. Huntington is out of the
hardware business will surprise most per-
sons, for few knew that the famous rail-
road maguate and millionaire has been
engaged in trade.
Such. however. is the fact, and with him
for many years was associated that other
California multi-millionaire, Mark Hop
kins.
Now the firm has been closed out and i.s
gond will and stock transferred to the
members of comparatively new company
named Miller, Soss d Scott of San Fran
cisco.-
With the passing away of the old COM
pany, in which two famous Americans
laid the foundations for their wealth, ends
a business romance that will have a de-
cded interest for great many persons
throug hout the country.
1t is true that of late years Huntington
has not taken the active interest in the
corporation that he did formerly, but he
still retained his investment in 1t, though
leaving the management to other hands.
Huntington and Hopkins formed
eopartnership in Sacramento, CAL,
in 1854. and for many years, un-
der the firm name of Huntington
& Hopkins. transacted business which
has since been described by the former as
hardware" railroad building and various
other enterprises.

and perhaps other reasons Huntington

"GOD SAVE IRELAND !"
Manifesto Issued by the National
League of America.
Nothing Can Be Gained by Rhetorics,
and Revolution Is the Only
Road to Freedom.

NEW YORK. March 16.-William Lyman,
treasurer of The Irish National League of
America, to-day Issued on behalf of that
organization a manifesto to the Irish
Nation at home and abroad.
The address condemns parliamentary
methods as futile, and advocates revolution
as the only means by which Ireland can
achieve the restoration of her rights.
After declaring that the Irish cause has
been betrayed by Gladstone and Rose
berry. the address says:
TRAITORS have brought the Irish cause
almost to the verge of ruin. The question
is. Who can save il ? Revolutionists or rhet-
orleans? Take the history Of Ireland for
a hundred years. What victories have the
rhetoricisns' gained? None. Free trade,
that is the right OF Ireland TO the trade of
her own account. and legislative indepen-
dence were won. not only by the pen or by
the tongue. but by the sword"
The manifesto then gives a retrospect
of the various Parli amentary attempts to
get self-government for ireland between
1898 and 1870. and concludes as fellows:
1.-The campaign is not yet over. The
struggle still goes on. A critical moment
has come. Let those who fight
for the principle of Irish nation
atty close their ranks and smite
the English force and Irish traitors
on high. Once again ireland has got to
depend on the revolutionists. The revo-
lutionists only can save her. We must
have no more talk. We must have
deeds. One blow struck at the
enemy is worth thousand speeches
Remember this, each and every one of
you. and the end OF the struggle must soon
come in blaze of glory. Now for revolu-
ton and revolution only. God save Ire
