SUBJECT PRECIPITATES A RIOT AT
A DUBLIN MEETING.
Members of Gaelic League Storm Plat
Persons Injured-Order Restored.

DUBLIN, May 1S.-Scenes Of extreme
disorder were witnessed at a meeting Of
citizens here tonight in the Rotunda, in
support Of the Irish Parliamentary fund,
owing to the presence Of members of the
Gaelic League who are opposed to giving
King Edward a friendly welcome on his
coming visit to Ireland. Timothy Harring-
ton, lord mayor of Dublin, was in the
chair. While John Redmond was address
ing the audience Mrs. Mcbride. formerly
Miss Maude Come, advanced to the plat
form and interrupted the proceedings by
asking Lord Mayor Harrington whether
he intended, as the head of the munich
pality, to oppose the presentation of an adj
rington replied in an evasive way. Mrs.
Mcbride insisted on direct answer,
whereupon scenes of the widest disorder
occurred and prevented John Redmond
from continuing his speech.
The members of the Gaelic League tried
to storm the platform amid cries OF Put
them out" Fierce collisions between the
of the assembly occurred. Chairs were
hurled to and from the platform and many
persons were injured in the desperate eff
forts made to eject the disturbers and to
restore order. John O'Donnell, member of
Parliament for South Mayo, was injured
in the head during the scuffie. Many per-
sons fed from the hall.
John Redmond persevered In continuing
his speech and eventually a semblance of
order was regained and a resolution in ac-
cordance with the object of the meeting
was carried.

WABASH, Ind, May 1S.-R E. Breed
and G.. A. H. Shideler, promoters of the
new interurban which is to connect Wa
bash and Marion, report to-day that the
half million dollars required to build and
equip the line has been secured and that
contracts for the grading will be awarded
early the coming month. Philadelphia men
of wealth have agreed to take the whole
bond issue, RENTING the money as fast as
the work progresses. 1t is understood here
that the Union Traction Company Of In
diana, while it has proprietary interest
in the new line, is backing the scheme with
its influence, and there is no doubt that
in time this twenty miles of road will form
an integral part of the Union traction sys-
tenn. All the right of way has been bought
and all Of the grading and bridging and
most of the track laying will be done this
year.
While Wabash gains this interurban, 1t
loses another that looked like a certainty.
After spending almost a year in making
surveys and estimates and procuring right
of way, President futile, of the wabash q
Rochester road, returned to-day to Cleve-
land. 1t is understood that all the right OF
way was given, but two representatives OF
the men of money who went over the line
three weeks ago thought there could not be
struction. Wabash county had voted 10000
in aid of the line, Perry township, Miami
county, $4,000. and Rochester and Henry
townships, Fulton county, $4,000.

TO CAPTURE THE WORLD"



Sharp Comment.
New York Commercial.
We are pleased to note the continued
optimism emanating from the person of
Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. and flowing in
steady streams from his lips.
1.-The pendulum In the labor world" he
said exultantly in an address at Boston
last Sunday. 'is swinging our way. We
purpose to organize the toilers of all Amer
ica-and no power on earth can stop the

trying to stop 1t? No power" perceptible
to the ordinary human being. surely. La
boris right to organize is as clear as its
right to live. 1t is the things that IL does
after it organizes that determine the pub
lies attitude toward it--whether IL shall
command respect or merit condemnation.
So President Gompers will find no intelli-
his movement for general organization OF
labor.
But what does he mean by this: Eve
shall wage constant campaign all over
the United States and Canada, and, with
a solid phalanx, we can capture the world
and we willi''
Exactly what would Gompers have US
understand by that? Is IT organized Ia
to subjugate it? And, IL so. in what way ?
There are, thank God, some persons and
institutions left in the world that will de-
cline to surrender to the Gompersian forces
on call, to meekly pass under labor's yoke.
And perhaps this leader OF the world-cap-
turers will condescend to accommodate
these people a bit by stating In advance
what form of subJugation he has In mind.

New York Letter.

New York Letter.
Unless the internal machine, apparently
so fortunately discovered before the steam
ship Umbria sailed on Saturday, represents
the delusion of some frenzied minds and
was the work of some irresponsible person
il ought to be easy to trace il back to the
conspirqtors who constructed IL. When IL
is remembered that some years ago there
was exploded on the pier of one Of the Ger
man ports a diabolcal continuance which
bound for the United States. then IL is the
easier to place some credence in the theory
that either revenge or an Anarchist plot
was the object of those who manufactured
the machine discovered on Saturday.
But I'm that earlier case there was no
warning 10 the police nor any premonition
until through accident the dynamite was
exploded before IL reached the steamship.
1t seems. too. TO some OF the representa-
tives OF the Cunard company that the first
clew in this latest case is the fact that
some one sent a warning message to the
police. That act involves one of two sus-
picions-either some one of the conspirators
