FINERTY WANTS AN ARMY.
Advocates a Sort Of Militia Organi-
cation of Irish-Amer-
leans.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 25.-With renewed
vigor the delegates to the Irish convention
began their second days work at Y. M.
G. A. hall today. Little time was lost in
preliminaries and the election of perma.
nent officers was put through at rapid
pace and with uninterrupted harmony.
The report of the committee on perma'
nent organization did not meet with the
slightest opposition, the following officers
being unanimously elected. j. f. Finer
ty, chairman: J. P. Sutton, secretary: j.
F. Heating, L. H. McGravey and j. ..
Strain, assistant secretaries; vice-presl.
dents, J. Nj. Kennedy, Montana c. d,
OBrien, st. Paul; G. T. Driscoll, New
Haven; P. J. Judge, Holyoke; Cornelius
Harding, Pittsburg.
Considerable enthusiasm was created
by motion to add O'Donovan Rosa to
the list of vice-presidents, but Mr.. Rossa
declined. Any doubts as to the earnest.
ness of the ''ne2 movement" towards
freedom for Ireland. were set at rest
when Chairman John T.. Finerty, in an
address to the convention, declared fol
an Irish-American standing army which
shall be ready to do battle for Ireland
whenever opportunity may present itself.
The boldness of the plan as outlined by
the ardent speaker created sensation.

DISCOUNTED LEADERS.
Talk Of Another Miners Strike, but
Those at Work will Not
Join in 1t.

Ishpeming, Mich, Sept. 25.-[Special.l
The strikers Of Ishpeming and Negau-
nee, especially those who took promi-
nent part in the affairs of the union, who
have not vet been given work at the
mines, are dissatisfied with things gener-
ally and are considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of calling out the men who are now a.
work. The few strike leaders who ap-
piled for work and were refused for
obvious reasons are making great threats
and openly assert that another walkOut
will surely occur if all the men now
here are not given places. 1t is not pos
sible, however, for them to succeed in
such a movement, as the men now at
work are much opposed to another strike.
They say they have had all the idleness
they can stand, for time at least.
About 1900 men are at work at the diff
ferent mines in 1shpeming today and 400
are employed at Negaunee. There will
be fully 1000 men working in both cities
by the first of next week. The COM
panies are all making shipments and are
calling for more cars than the railroads
can give them.
DARBY" Holland, the Calumet COM
pany's "mascotte," stole away from his
father and left for Calumet last night.
The lad will be taken care of by the
members of the military company, who
tried to induce his father to let him go
with them before leaving here.
An imported workman who got into an
alteration with the strikers here Mon
day night was last night sent out of
town by the marshal with the request
that he would not return.

IRON SITUATION PULLING.
Unable to Tell Where the Product Goes
-Room in Steel Rails.

-Room in Steel Rails.
New York, Sept. 26.-The Iron Age
says that the question of a supply of
raw material is the one uppermost in
the mines of the managers of the largest
interests in the country. The coke situa
ton has improved The ore situation is
decidedly clearer, at least so far as for
eign supplies are concerned.
The furry in Bessemer pig in Pitts
burg is now pretty we'll over. Alto
gether, all the great concerns have con-
tinued eager purchasers of ore and pig
and are evidently securing supplies as
far ahead as they can get them
On q small business, the billet mar
ket has gone off about 81 per ton from
the highest point, largely through the
Offering of small lots by brokers. 1t is
not quite clear whether this covers re-
sales by large consumers or whether it
is done for temporary effect. Wire
rods have been quiet for considerable
time.
In the East the most disquieting feat
ure has been the appearance of a large
Pittsburg concern as a sharp competitor
for small lots in the face of recent pro-
testations that the mills were crowded
with work for months to come. One
Eastern mill has also reappeared on the
scene
Taking it altogether, the situation is
puzzling. It has been difficult to under
stand where all the product turned out
goes to in the absence of n good railroad
demand, and yet the interests are scram-
bling for raw material. 1t can only be
explained by assuming that important
developments in steel rails are pending,

LONDON PAPERS AMUSED.
Do Not Take MIR. Finerty's Call to Arms
Seriously.

London, Sept 26.--The newspapers of
London today profess to find in the pro-
ceedings of the Irish Nationalist conven-
ton at Chicago material for amusement.
The Globe this afternoon observes that
Mr.. Finerty and his colleagues deserve
the thanks of the world for furnishing an
entertaining farce.
In the course of an article on the con-
vention, the st. James Gazette uses the
following language: "There are none SO
valiant as the exied Hibernian in the Sc
cure atmosphere of an American liquor
saloon. There are none so ready as he to
attack the Saxon when the Saxon cannot
get at him, or SO patriotic in raising other
peoples money for war;

pUG1LIsTs ASK FOR A LICENSE.
Application to Texas Supreme Court for
Writ of Mandamus.

Austin, Tex, Sept Pa petition for
a writ of mandamus to compel State
Comptroller Finlay to issue prize-fght
license was filed with Justice Denman
Of the Supreme COURT this morning, but it
will hardly De acted on until the first
Monday in next month, when court meets
at Tyler. Mandamus papers were also
served on Tax Collector Williamson of
this county this morning to compel him
to issue prize-fght license.
The case is brought by county officers
to test the law. Should the decision con-
cur with Judge Hurts opinion, it is be-
lieved that the fight will take place. Maj.
Oppenheimer this morning said he did
not believe that the military would be
used to stop the fight.

Russia Rranching Ont.

London. Sept. 26.-It is announced
that. with the sanction of the Gar, a
Russian bank with enormous capital will
be opened for business soon at Pekin,
with a branch at Shanghai. The enter,
prise is regarded as another indica ton
of Russia's determination to wrest the
commercial as well as the political su,
premacy in the far East from England.

A Fine TOboggan Slide.

The Malays have the finest toboggan
slide in the world. In Perak there is a
huge granite slope in the course Of a
mountain river, down which the water
trickles about two inches deep, the
main stream having carved out bed
by the side Of the boulder. This rock,
the face Of which has been rendered as
smooth as glass by the constant flow
,of water during the hundreds of years,
the. Malays-men, women and children
have turned into a slide. Climbing
to the top of the rock, they sit in the
shallow water with their feet straight
out, and a hand on each side for steer
ing. and then slide straight down the
sixty feet into a pool Of water. This
lisa fayorite sport on sunny mornings,
as many as two hundred folk being en-
gagged in it at time, and sliding down
sosquickly one after another, or forming
rows of two, four and even eight per-
sons, that they tumble into q pool a
confused mass of scrambling creatures
It. seems to be highly amusing game,
and there is little danger in it.

FOREST FIRES IN CANADA.
Arthabasca County Observation-Disclosures
Seuarated.

Separated.
Montreal, Que. Sept. 26.--The big for
est fire that has been raging for the last
two days in the forests of the county of
Arthabasca has destroyed hundreds Of
farmhouses. The village of Brawlts
Mills is wiped out and not building re-
mains. Even the cattle were burned in
the fields. The inhabitants fled, terror
stricken, and barely escaped with their
lives. Hundreds of families became sep
arated in the flight
Most of the country from Brawlts
Mills to Ashton is charred and black
ened waste. The fire is eating it's way
still further into the interior and the
sky is obscured by dense smoke.

The new year brought many changes to

to the uuartermastership had been rati-
fed from headquarters, and they had inn
mediately taken bungalow in the OH
GERS lines.

nrosner without any adventurous aid.
Though very small, even delicately form
al che was neither thin nor insignificant
in appearance. Her figure was slim Yet
svelte. graceful without effort, and as
nl;ant as q reed; but in her face was, her
chief charm-the bright, glowing beauty
that smoke of such perfect health, with
ont degenerating into anything approach
ing coarseness. The sun-touched nut
brown hair fell into the softest lcurls on
bor low brow: the darker eyelashes shad-
ad two lovely hazel eyes and deepened
their dreamy, laughing light. -

house when some reglmehtal sports were
announced to take place; and Mrs. Knox
determined to take her daughter to see
them.
The first step must BIZ made, and Ali

MAINE WOMEN WELCOMED.
Natl onal Council Delegates from the Pine
Tree State rendered Reception.

The natives of Maine who are residents
informally welcome to their midst the
delegates from the Pine Tree State to the
National Council of Women of the United
States. The reception was held at the
rooms of the Sons and Daughters of
Maine, 707 G street northwest, and was
attended by nearly all of the visitors,
and good number OF the members of
the society.
The State of Names delegates to the
council have been active participants in
the meeting, and it was somewhat diff
cult for some of them to get away. Al
ter the visitors had been introduced to
those present, Capt. F. L. Phillips, presi-
dent of the local organization of Maine
people. called upon several of those pres
emit for brief remarks. Appropriate re-
sponses were made by ex-Gov. Sidney
Perham, Rev. o. Cheney, ex-president of
Bates College, at Lewiston; Mrs. L. M
N Stevens, treasurer of the National
Council, and vice president at large of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and Mrs. Hannah ]. Bailey, in
charge of the universal peace conference
department. of the W.C.T.U
Mr.. Pitman Pulsifer, private secretary
TO Senator Hale, by request, delivered n
paper on his amusing "reminiscences of
court life in Maine, which paper he had
delivered at the last meeting of the So
ciety. The paper was very well received,
and upon Mrs. Stevens' motion, a vote of
thanks was extended to him for this en-
tertainment.
AS mention was made of desire upon
the part of some of the delegates to the
council to become honorary mem bers OF
the Sons and Daughters of Maine, it is
very probable that these prominent
ladies will all be elected to honorary
mem bership at the next meeting OF the
society.
Among those present at the reception
were Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, Mrs. Hannah
J. Bailey, Mrs. George f. Mosher, wife Of
the president of the HiIlsdale (Mich.
College; Rev.O. B. Cheney and Mrs. Eliza.

We are informed that there will be a
strong effort on the part of some people
in Deering who are opposed to annexa-
tion to defeat the enabling act which the
legislature is to be asked to pass. These
people aIlege that all the arguments are
against annexation, yet, with apparent
inconsistency, they insist that there
shall be no opportunity for argument.
The PRESS has taken no very decided
stand on this question simply because it
has not sufficiently Investigated the facts
and conditions bearing upon it. and con-
sidered to the arguments pro and con. 1t
has regarded it however as a question of
should be freely discussed. For the
reason that the passage of an enabling
act would compel such discussion and
would open up a question that is of great
Importance TO both citiss we have fav-
ored the passage of that measure.
This act simply permits the citizens of
both cities to vote on the subject after
there has been full consideration of
it's merits. 1t is SO drawn that the ma
jority of one city cannot coerce the other;
there must be concurring majority i'll
both cities before annexation can be ac-
complished. Every body's rights are pre-
served, and if, as the opponents of an
nexation say, the arguments are all
against that policy they surely ought
not to object to it. 1t is sometimes urged
by the opponents of annexation that a
discussion of the question is TO be depre-
Gated, because it may become warm and
stir up feeling. But it seems to us that
a question that may have vital bearing
upon the future prosperity of tU o towns,
and consequently upon the people who
reside in them, is an eminently proper
ubiect for discussion and that dis
cussion of it should be welcomed rather
than deprecated. OF course there are in all
towns certain number of persons who
never want discussion of any sort be-
cause it disturbs their serenity. They
want to live easy and not be disturbed.
But these are not the people who make
the prosperity of town.

Assuming the passage of the appropria-
tion bills the only possible excuse for
calling an extra session of Congress will
be that the finances need attending to.
Doubtless they do, but the Senate has
for years been the chief obstacle to sound
financial legislation and the incoming
Senate is, it is to be feared, going to
furnish quite as much of an obstacle as
the present one. The Democrats will be
there in less numb ers, but the Populists
will have more, and in all probability
they will unite with the free silver men
of both the Repu blican and Democratic
parties to block any financial legislation
which does not give silver the place in
our monetary system which they think
it should have. Free silver or nothing
has been the ultimatum of the Senate
for several years past and it
will be it's ultimatum for sew
eral months to come at any rate.
Possibly by next winter the necessity
for some financial legislation may be SO
apparent that some of the silver senators
may be willing to concede something,
but there is no evidence of the existence
of any such disposition at the present
time.

ROYAL CROWNS.
The Immense Value of Some of These I1nl-
blems of Monarchy.

The value OF the crown jewelry Of the
poteptates of the world reaches lnto al
most incredible sums.
The crown of the King of Portugal,
ona of the most precious OF Europe, Is
worth six and a half million dollars.
The one worn by the Gear at special
ceremonies of state is not worth any less.
The cross Gu top of the crown is shaped
of four immense diamonds OF the first
water, resting on a large uncut, but
highly polished ruby valued at over $780,
600. A great number of valuable gems
cover the crown. At the recent obse-
quies of the late 'Czar one of these gems
disappeared mysteriously from is setting
during the transfer of the body from the
railroad station TO the fortress or Sr.
Peter and Paul, and, in spite of most
searching investigation, no trace OF the
gem has been discovered.
he small crown diadem of the CZar1ca
contains the finest diamonds ever set,
and it took many years to collect these
exquisitely matched gems.
The crown OF Victoria is valued at
nearly 81. 900, 900, and contains one large
ruby, Que large apphire. sixteen smaller
ru bies, 1890 white and 1878 rose-colored
diamonds, four large pear-shaped pearls
and 269 others.
The robes and jewelry worn by the Sul-
tan OF Lahore at State functions are
adorned with diamonds worth $40, 0O0,-
600. His collar, epaulattes, belt brace
lets, anklets, buckles and headgear are
sparkling with the shining pebbles.
The most precious Of all crown jewelry
is owned by potentate inferior in rank
to the last named. the Maharajah of
Baroda. He possesses necklace OF five
rows Of diamonds increasing in size
from pea to a walnut. There are 500
diamonds in this necklace, whose bril-
liancy is further increased by two rows
Of emeralds above and below the dia-
monds and of the same size. This neck
lace is thought to be worth over 81, 000,-
600. while the other iewelry owned by
this Croesus is estimated at more than
$500, 900, 600.

8 Senator Ii. C. Lodge has contributed
to the March mum Der of The Forum an
article entitled "Cur laundering Foreign
POLICY in which he severely arraigns
the administration at Washington for it's
policy in dealing with Samoa, Hawaii
and Japan. He says: "If the Democrat
ic party has had one cardinal priE ciple
beyond all others, it has been that of
pushing forward the boundaries of the
United States. Under this administra-
tion, governed as it is by free trade in
fuences, this great principle of the Dem
cratic party during nearly century OF
existence has been utterly abandoned.

lated the constitution while he did it,
effected the Louisiana purchase, but Mr..
leveland has Iabored to overthrow
A merican interests and American control
