The general work for the relief of the
prisoners Just released has spread to eyerv
irish society in the State, as well as to
ocieties throughout the Union. To assist
the released prisoners the Irish National
lists have decided to give an annual re-
union and picnic at Shell Mound Park on
Sunday, October 4. This will be under
the control of the Knights of Tara, assisted
by members of the knights of the Red
Branch, the Wolfe Tone Club of Oakland
and the Irish National Alliance. rhe
Knights of Tara have issued circular in
Wiling every body to attend the picnic, the
proceeds of which go to the released pris-
oners. The circular says in part:
This invitation is particularly extended to
you and friends and all persons who love
justice and liberty, that Kind OF liberty de-
scribed in the constitution OF the United
States. One-half the receipts viii be contrib
uted TO relief fund for the lately released
Irish political prisoners who suffered thirteen
years of cruel and inhuman torture in English
dungeons, because they were possessed with a
spirit of freedom and used that spirit for the
love they bore their native land, Ireland.

BAY CITY, Mich, May 10.-A riot was

some time against its pastor, Father Mat

with Father Matkowski, arrived in the city
and gained entrance TO the priests house.
When they essayed to enter the church,
however, crowd of 1000 had gathered.
The leaders declared their determination TO
keep Father Matkowsh out. although no
objection was urged against the Bishop. Fl
nally the bishop and priest retreated TO the
parsonage and sent for the sheriff and police
officers. They were advised not to promote
the strife by trying TO enter forcibly against
the crowd and followed this advice. During
the excitement a women struck out with
her parasol and the blow fell, by accident.
1t Is said, on the bishop and the priest.
The anti-Matkowsh Poles have the church
premises guarded.

THE yIRGINIus CASE.
The President Anxious to Avoid q
Like Butchery.

Like Butchery.
CHICAGO, May 1O.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Tribune, in discussing the
protest sent to Madrid by President Cleve-
land, says: The Spanish authorities have
been warned without equivocation and the
dispatches have gone beyond the courtesy
of ordinary diplomatic communications and
conveyed something very much like a threat
that If the Virginius case shall be repeated
this country will at once take Cuba under
its protection and hold it until given ample
assurances that its citizens will be properly
treated there.
The Virginius case was one of the most
famous in the long list of difficulties be-
tween Spain and the United States. The
steamer left New York Oct. 4. 1870, having
cleared with American papers for Curacao.
few days later the steamer left the har-
Dor of Kingston, flying the American flag.
No state of war existed, granting the right
to detain on the high seas documented
vessel. Yet the steamer was captured on
the high seas by Spanish man of war,
the American flag hauled down and Spanish
tribunals took jurisdiction over the alleged
hlibusters. Four of the crew were executed
off hand, and then the Madrid government
ostensibly interfered and directed a suspen-
sion of sentence.
In spite of that the authorities at Havana,
defying the home government, shot the cap
tain and thirty-six of the crew and sixteen
passengers of the Virginius on the It'll and
sth of November. 1870. and TO this day there
never has been satisfactory explanation
of the act nor whether the authorities al
Havana were ever properly punished for
their defiance of Instructions.
II is feared that the same thing may take
place in the case OF the Competitor. Madrid
may instruct Havana in general terms To
suspend the execution of the sentence. but
Weyler, the butcher, acting under his arpi-
trary authority and with his well-knowr
thirst for blood, may determine 10 make ar
example, and butcher the unfortunate sea
men without fair trial. When Secretary
Fish communicated on the subject OF the
Virginius TO Minister Sckles at Madrid he
used sharp language. which Is a. The more
significant in view of the fact that II wa:
Fish who prevented General Grant from
recognizing the insurgents as bellgerents
The Secretary then said:
The capture on the high seas or vessel
bearing the American flag presents a grave
question, which will need Investigation, and
the summary proceedings resulting in the
punishment OF death with such rapid haste
viii attract attention as innuman and in
violation OF the civilization OF the age. And
