Tho w. U. Telegr, ,ph Company staving
on Debt.

VII ~
San Francisco. Sept. IA dispute
has arisen between the Western Union
people and the Southern Pacific COM
pany. The former leases all of the
telegraph lines Of the railroad and op-
crates them as part of Its telegraph
system. This arrangement has been in
force ever since 1877. One of the pro-
visions of the contract provides that
the Western Union shall pay Mr.. Hunt
ington 100000 annually. The payment
for this year is now several months
overdue and the whole trouble is the
outgrowth Of this negligence on the
part of the Western Union. The West.
ern Union wishes a reduction made in
this yearly rental. The Western Uni
on people claim that there was no OPP
position OF the Pacific Postal when the
contract was made. but that during the
last few years the company has been
subjected to the severest kind of COM
petition. Mr.. Huntington and the
Western Union people have had the
matter under consideration for some
time. and the former Is said to have Sc
far declined to make any reduction.

New York, Sept. 1.-Petty thieves In
bloomers have stolen hundreds OF BIZ
cycles, Prepossessing young women
have succeeded In obtaining wheels
from dealers and have disposed OF
them. The police are In possession OF
clews that will enable them TO round
up the gang.
No trick wtas too audacious for the
thieves The leader. a very handsome
woman. would borrow a wheel on the
plea that her machine had met with an
accident. and fail TO return 1t. The
costumes worn were modern and dar-
ing. One OF the suspected women ap-
peared I'm snow-white boomers with
white shoes, leggings. cap and jacket.
She borrowed and rented wheels right
and left and. It Is believed. shipped
them all to confederates out OF the
city. The bicycle academies have suf-
fered much.
Many stolen wheels have been recov-
cred. and in every case the wheel had
been painted red. reenameled. and the
number removed. Fully $4,000 worth
of wheels have been stolen during the
season. and complaints have been re-
ceived to the effect that the bloomer-
wearing thieves have worked many

Chicago, Sept. 1.-The official call for
convention of the new Irish move
ment to be held in Chicago Sept. "a, 25
and IS has been issued from headquar-
ters Of the executive committee of the
new Irish movement. II is as follows:
The Irish struggle for freedom has
reached a momentous period. Ireland,
abandoned in the crisis OF her fate by
the liberal leaders. Is told by the tory
secretary to the lord lieutenant that
the British government is sternly and
unalterably opposed TO the granting OF
any measure OF home rule whatever.
Ireland must therefore look to her own
children and their descendants for sup
port in her great extremity. Parliamen-
tary agitation has had a long and pa
tient trial, but has utterly failed TO
accomplish its object The Irish race
in America cannot afford TO be neutral,
while the mother land is being slowly
but surely done to death By the usurp-
Ing enactments Of foreign and hostile
power.
In unison with thousands Of our
race distributed throughout the union
after mature dellberatlon. We. the un-
derslgned. have decided to call a con-
