AN |R|SH-AME R|CAN ARMY,
Secret Organization Rapidly
Progressing in This
Country.
The First Regiment Raised in New
York and Others Will Soon
Be Ready.

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. ia special from
New York says: What is said to be a
movement for the establishment of an
Irish American army for the liberation of
Ireland came to a head last week, when
the tenth and last company was organized
for the new Irish regiment OF New York
City, which is designed to be the parent
organization of others to be formed all
over the United States. The inner work
ings of this movement are conducted with
the greatest secrecy, and the utmost pre-
caution is taken to conceal the real object
of this martial enterprise.
The controlling power back of the
movement is the secret organization OF the
Clan ma Gael. which has been identified
with every revolutionary undertaking of
recent years looking to the freedom of Ire
land.
The connection between the Gamma
Gael and the new military organization is
a complete chain. Every mem Der of the
military organization must first be men,
Der of a Clan-na-Gael lodge. Each lodge
is to organize a military club, which fur
nishes a military company of men selected
with the utmost care. Each applicant
must be of the Catholic faith. Every men,
Der is sworn to uphold the Irish cause,
and it is an unwritten law of the Clan-na-
Gael that death is the penalty for treach-
cry. The money for the support of the
military is to be furnished by the Gamma
Gael lodges.
1t is intended that each lodge through
out the country shall support military
club. In the large cities, where there are
numerous lodges, regiments are to be
formed and companies in the smaller
places where there are only one or two
lodges. Organizations on the same line as
the Irish regiment now organized in New
York City are in process OF formation in
Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, several
places in Connecticut and Chicago and
will also be begun in other cities.
The official designation of the New York
regiment is the "First Irish Volunteers"
The regiment is divided into two battal-
ions, and every movement is carefully
watched by Colonel Moran, who is said to
be slated for major-general of the Irish
army. Not the least important feature of
the regiment is to be an engineering
branch, formed OF a few of the most relia-
BILE men, who will make special study
of mining operations end the use of ex
pIcsjves

TACOMA'S BAR TO CHINESE
Capitalist Riggs Will Probably
Discharge His Chinese
Domestics.
Promises to Yield if the Chamber
of Commerce Acts in the
Matter.

TACOMA, WASH, Dec. Is. - Thomas
Riggs. the capitalist. who brought upon
himself an avalanche of condemnation and
protest by employing as household ser
wants two Chinamen-the first to secure
work in Tacoma since the exodus of 1856
will probably yield to public clamor and
discharge the coolies.

pay any attention to these unauthorized
popular demonstrations. If the Chamber

posed of gentleman whom respect, shall
see fit to. take action in the matter of how
prefer to order my own house help,
will bow to it's wishes, and if it sees fit to
recommend it, l will discharge my
Chinese servants-not otherwise"
1t is quite likely that the Chamber OF
Commerce will take some action, and that
the "unwritten law of the City of Des-
tiny" which has for years kept out cheap
Oriental labor and retained to white work
men their positions, will continue in force.
Otherwise the scenes of 1885 may again be
enacted.

SATISFIED WITH GOMPERS
Furuseth Says That the Mcguire
Bill Will Receive Greater
Attention.
The New President of the Federation
of Labor Is Friend of the
Seamen.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 15.-Andrew
Furuseth of San Francisco, one of the dele
gates to the convention of the American
Federation of Labor, was interviewed this
afternoon, at the Ashland House.
''The election of Samuel Gompers," he
said, ''means that the Mcguire bill now
before Congress will receive the special at
tention of hundreds of workingmen repre-
senting the various trades of America Mr..
Gompers' friendship for the seamen of
America won for him many friends in sea-
port cities, and his warm advocacy of all
measures for ameioriation of the seamen
rallied to his support the representatives
from Atlantic Coast cities, Chicago, Mil
waukee and other lake ports, also the sup
port of the Pacific Coast delegates.
"Mr Gompers is a straight trade union
list and as such better represents the labor
movement than any of the other candi-
dates. The cause of labor is gaining on
the Pacific Coast. During the very severe
periods through which we have passed
labor has held its own. Now that times
are improving, there is bound to be big
increase in membership. Wages will go
up and the eight-hour work day will be
achieved by hundreds of our members"
Delegate Furuseth will leave for home
proba bly, Wednesday.

oldest person present at the funeral cere-
monies was Mrs. L. Tombs = Grandma
Tombs, as she is calied-wEo is 80 years of
age. Now that Mr.. Blackman is gone,
Mrs. Tombs is the oldest person in the
county, and feels keenly the loss Of her
friend.
In many respects William Blackman was
remarkable man. There have been many
"fake" centenarians, but the men who live
to celebrate their hundredth anniversary
are few in number. Fewer still reach that
age with health and faculties unimpaired,
and yet on the 25th of last August, when
Mr.. Blackman had reached the century
milestone, he entertained jolly crowd of
old folk, and was as happy and bright as
the youngest person present.
1t was on that occasion that Mr.. Black
man and others decided to organize an
Old Folks Club, whose members were
to be over seventy years of age, and whose
object should be to care for those who
needed assistance. The good old man was
the first of thirty mem bers to be stricken
from the roll by the hand of death, ana in
his passing this city lost a most worthy
citizen.

Regretted at Healdsburg.
HEALDSBURG, CAL, Dec. 15.-Quite a
few Healdsburg citizens who are solicitous
for the welfare OF C. Arthur, contractor,
who came to this city last spring, would
like information as to his Whereabouts.
When Arthur appeared upon the local
stage he started in upon an aggressive
campaign for work. He took contracts
for buildings for figure but little above
the cost of the material, and local builders
sat back amazed at the competitor who
was getting all the work.
Mr.. Arthur erected twenty or thirty
dwellings during the summer and then he
quietly stole away between two days. Had
he told the people of this city where he
was going or when he would return. the
uneasiness would not be so keen; but he
neglected to bid his creditors farewell, and
their concern regarding him is augmented
by the claims they have against him.
The local builders are now advised as to
how Arthur took contracts for buildings
so cheaply. They expected to pay their
