IN EMMETT'S HONOR.

Monster Gathering at the Auditorium,
Chicago.
CHICAGO, March 5.-By far the larg
est Irish gathering ever seen in Chicago
in honor Of Robert Emmett, and prob
ably the greatest celebration of the kind
on record either side Of the Atlantic,
took place at the Auditorium last night.
Every seat in the huge amphitheater
was reserved days ahead with arapidity
unequalled in the history Of the famous
big structure. On the stage and in the
boxes were many Catholic priests and
men of other denominations, including
a Jewish rabbi, and with them was a
notable assemblage Of judges and other
prominent dignitaries. The orator of
the occasion was Alexander Sullivan.
Pending his appearance there was an
eloquent address by Chairman Finerty.

Erwin Indignantly denies that the de-

Union Pacific Check Rai8ero
Had a New Method Of
Erasing Ink.
PAPER WAS ACID PROOF.
Corporations Paying In Checks
Will Have to Resort to
Currency.

OMAHA, March 5.-Startling develop
ments were made in the Union Pacific
check raising swindle during the day
which are calculated to alarm all corpo-
rations paying in checks. The discov-
cry was made that the gang who oper-
ated on the Union Pacific system have
a method of erasing ink with air
which defles the best chemically pre-
pared paper, which is guaranteed to
show the slightest presence Of acid or
other foreign substances. The amount
secured by the work of the gang is not
yet known, but it is not as large as at
first supposed. The paper on which
the oompany's checks are printed has
been regarded until now as being abso-
lutely proof against manipulations, but
the operations Of the gang Of experts
Shattered All Claims Of tho Inventors
that the paper is acid proof. The checks
which were raised failed to show a
single erasure mark and the amount Of
the check in figures in tho right hand
corner, as we'll as the written amount
in the body of the check. were wiped
out as completely as If cloth had been
used in smearing dust from table top.
Not content with removing the figures
in one instance, the name Of the en-
ploye was removed and new name
substituted, showing they had mastered
the secret completely.
Mr.. Frank Brown. local treasurer of
the Union Pacific, stated he had never
seen checks 80 fiawlessly altered as in
the Denver case. They had passed
through his hands. but e powerful glass
had failed to show the least manifesta-
ton, and if he had not known the
checks were raised he would have sworn
they were originally as made.

IRISH LAND BILL.
Morley's New Measure Intro
duced in the House OF
Commons.
TENANTS HAVE SOME RIGHTS,
Land Question Admitted to Be
the Cause of Ireland's
Trouble.

LONDON, March 5.-In the house OF
commons John Morley introduced the
new IRISH and bill. In explaining the
bill Mr.. Morley said that at the founda-
ton Of the government proposals was
broad principle Of social policy to-
wards Ireland. A general rule Of pro-
tect:ng the tenant in ownership If I'M
provements were made was absolutely
indispensable in Ireland, owing to the
decision Of the Irish courts, which upset
the intentions Of parliament. The gov
eminent now proposed that all the i'm
provements on building should be pre-
sumed to have deem done by the tenant
unless the contrary was proved. The
bill directed the courts to give ample
compensation and security to tenant
for improvements, and it also proposed
to amend the act of 1870 SO az to make
it perform it's functions in the way it
was designed it should. Consequently,
it would be modified in order to
Prevent the Undoubted Intention
of parliament being frustrated. The
compensation to be paid to a tenant
would be in money or in moneys
worth. It was also proposed by this
measure that holdings should be sub
ject to statutory conditions until the
new rents were fixed and the statutory
conditions thereby revised. 1t also
makes term of holdings 10 instead Of ID
years, at tho end of which time rents
are to be revised.
In regard to the landlord 's.right of
presumption the tenant was to be al
lowed tho free sale Of his interest, but
before selling he had to give cash to the
landlord, who might purchase the ton
ancy for the sum agreed upon. When
the court
Fixed Fair Rent
the landlord might demand that the
court specify the value of the holding
in case the tenant wishes to sell and the
landlord wishes to buy.
Where the tenant was in occupancy
as caretaker for five years and had
discharged all the obligations inciden-
tai to the holding. he should, at the end
Of that period, be deemed to be the
present tenant again with all the rights
of occupancy.
1t was further proposed by the bill
that all arrears of rent might be recov-
cred within the next two years. After
then the landlord would be able to re-
cover two years arrears only.

not marked or marred by any unpleas.
ant incident. All the appropriation
lis were out of the way when that
body convened at in the morning and
the time was dwindled away until II
O'Clock, the only feature being a rather
brief but brisk debate on the results to
flow from the projected monetary con.
ference. The usual committee was sent
to the president to inform him that con-
gress was ready to adjourn and the
other formalities of the end OF con-
gress were gone through with. The
concluding minutes were in the nature
of a love feast. The best feeling pre-
vailed. The resolution Of thanks to the
speaker was offered by Mr.. Cannon in

mony to

by the Republican minority. Mr.. vii.
son of West Virginia responded in be:
half Of the majority, and Mr.. Simpson
of Kansas, representing the Populists,
joined in the expression Of thanks for
the kindness extended by the speaker.
All the kindly sentiments were ap-
plauded, and when Mr.. Crisp himself
assembled the rostrum to return his
thanks and deliver his parting words,
the demonstration was terrific. At the
conclusion Of his speech, just before de-
claring the house adjourned, he ap-
pointed Mr.. Culberson Of Texas, Mr..
Hit Of Illinois and himself az members
of the monetary commission. His own
appointment was by resolution. As the
Fifty-third congress came to an end the
Doxology was sung by the correspond
ents in the press gallery.

MILLIONS INVOLVED.

Great Amount Of Capital Affected by .
Patent Decision.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The case OF
the Ba:e Refrigerator company against
Francis Sulzberger & Co., upon which
the question of American patents ex-
pire when foreign patents have been
previously issued, was decided in an ex-
haustive opinion by Justice Harlan. 1t
is estimated that not less than $500. O0O,-
600 of capital hinges upon the decision
which determines the status OF many
valuable patents.
The court held that the invention for
which Bate received a patent was previ-
ously patented in foreign country and
that the United States patent did ex-
pire with the foreign patents. The de-
cision is against electric and other pat
euts involved in the decision of this
SUIT.
Some Of tho Patents Affected.
Among the patents affected are three
issued to the Western Union Tel graph
company on applications filed by
Thomas A. Edison, as follows:
Patent 474,290, application filed April
81, 1877. No. 474,2Y1, and Az, 1882, ap-
pIcation fled July ~, 1877. On March
z, 1898, patent 492. 7S9 was issued to the
same party on an application filed by
the same party on Sept. s, 1877. These
inventions became the property of the
American Bell Telephone company by
the telephone consolidation contract
Nov. 1, 1879. These Edison patents are
claimed to be fundamental, and they
with tho Berliner patent, now in litiga-
ton, and which remained in the patent
office from 1877 to Nove' Der, 1891, ex-
pire at the date of the "a alton of the
foreign patents. The inventions have
been in use since 1878. The Edison in
ventions were patented abroad in Eng
land, France. and Canada in 1877, in Bel
GUM, Austria Hungary, Italy, Germany
and Spain in 1858 and in Prussia in 1882.
They are free in foreign countries and
under the construction now given OF
section 1887 are made free in this
country.
Substantially the decision will effect
in the same way the quadruplex tele-
graph patents which were applied for in
October, 1874, and issued Dec. Is, 1885.
The incandescent lamp patents fled by
the General Electric company are also
included in those which will be affected
by the decision.

CROWDS IN THE SENATE.

Closing Scenes Witnessed by an Immense
Audience.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The United
States senate closed it's final session of
the Fifty-third congress amid crowded
galleries, congratulatory resolutions, a
parting word from President Cleveland
and brief valedictory from the vice
president. The wonted dignity of the
senate was preserved to the end, except
for the rush of business incident to the
last hours of session. The senators
were at work at 8 O'Clock, after having
remained in the chamber until 4 a. m.
They clearly allowed the fatigue of the
long session, lasting from Saturday
noon, and their ranks were too thin up
to IL o'clock for the transaction Of any
thing beyond formal business. By that
time there were few vacant seats on the
floor of the senate, and the galleries

the crowds filing the senate, pushing
into the aisles and overlooking in long
lines down the corridors and stairways.
Many members of the diplomatic corps
occupied the gallery reserved for them.
By 10 clock the last formalities on the
two remaining appropriation bills
naval and deficiency-were concluded
and the measures started to the execu-
tive mansion. There was no disposition
to take up new busines and two efforts
to consider questions affecting the Behr-
ing sea were cut off by objections. A
feature of the last moments Of the ses-
sion was the tumultuous laughter which
greeted the announcement Of Mr.. Voor-
bees Of the committee to wait on the
president that the latter rendered his
congratulations to congress on the close
of their labOrs.
