MICHAEL DAvITr on THE PARIS.
Irish Leader bringing His Family
on an American Visit

New York, April 3-AHChael Dayitt,
member OF Parliament from the county
Of Mayo, Ireland, and his family, are
expected in New York on the steamship
Paris. Mr. Dayitts visit TO America,
it is said, has no political significance.
He is going TO take his family out West
for the benefit of their health
Mr. Davitt has had varied and exciting
political career He is follower of John
Dillon, the leader of one of the anti
Parnellte factions, which are now four
in number -Healyites, DilIonitcs, Crilly-
ties, and Knoxites The two latter fac
tons very small. The Parnelte party
of which John E Redmond, who was re-
Gently in this country, is leader, stands
united.
Mr.. Davitt is credited with having sug-
gested the plan OF the Land League to
Parnell, who put it into effect. He was
one OF Parnell's principal supporters when
Parnell was at his apogee Of power, but
later. when the O'Shea trouble came, he
attacked Paruell In a paper called the
Labor World, which he edited in London,
and also in his public speeches Davitts
paper afterward went out of existence.
In the elections of 1892, Davitt ran for
Parliament in North Meath. BE was de
Clared elected, but was afterward unseated,
as the result of a trial held at Trim from
December > to %, at which it was brought
out that extraordinary intimidation and
undue influence had been used. his OPP
ponent, Pierce Manning, was declared
elected by the courts. Davftt then declared
he would never run for Parliament again
or take the oath of allegiance to the Queen
But soon alterward he went TO Waterford
to work for the nomination of friend,
and, being badly receiyed-a stone being
thrown at hin-he determined to run him
self. His opponent was John E. Redmond.
Redmond was elected by large ma iority.
Davitt ran for Parliament in Mayo in
l S95 and was elected. 0fiate Mr.. Davitt's
idea has been for union between the Irish
and the English democracy, the scheme
being generally referred to as the Union
Of II carts" Mr. Davitt suffered the loss Of |
one of his hands Nheu a lad while working
in a factory in England.

FOREST FIRES IN NEW YORK.
Wild Animals Driven Before the
Flames to the River.

West Point, N. Y, a priI 8. The big forest
fire that threat ened the village of High
land Falls with total dest truction last
night was burning fiercely this morning
for over eight miles along the Hudson,
from Anthony's Nose to some distance
below Highland Falls. That village is
now safe, however, although it had d bad
scare last night
The lowlands around Garrisons and
Highlands are swarming with animals
driven before the flames. Wildcats are
among them and several have been re-
ported killed. A number of them were seen
this morning by laborerS on the railroads,
jumping from the banks into the river.
No one can tell how far the fire eXten,ls
into the mountains, but the woods are
abaze as far back from the river as The
eye can see.
In the early morning before sunrise, the
sky was already bright as day with the
glow of the flames. The smoke is waited
by the wind many miles down the river,
and even as far down as Peekskill, it is in
the air, and at night the red glow can be
seen.

Him Down.

London, April 3.-The Evening News pub
fishes a sensational story descriptive of
fraCas in the Raleigh Club, in the West
End OF London, the members of which are
chiefly military officers and civilians con
nected with the best social circles. Ac-
cording to the News, a member of the

room the other night, made dfsparaging
remark concerning the mother Of feI-
Iow-member, Mr.. Gerard O'Shea, who is
the son OF Capt. 0'Shea and Mrs. O'Shea-
Parnell.
Young O'Shed, who was present, re-
sented the remark as grossly insulting
and threw the contents of his glass into
Mackie's face Further hostilities were
prevented by the other club men in the
room, but eventually O'Shea met Mackie
after he had gone down stairs prepare tory
to leaving the building, and struck him
heavy blow III the jaw, knocking him
down
In falling, Mackie's head struck against
fender, rendering him unconscious.
Maclie was picked up and removed to a
bed in the club, where, after remaining
some time, and not regaining conscious
ness, doctor was called

TO his senses, and some of the most erninen
specialists in London, together with
