Upton May Try Again.

New York, Feb. 1S.-A letter from
Sir Thomas Upton has been received
by the officials Of the New York Yacht
club with reference to n fourth chal-
lenge for the America's cup. This
fact was brought out at the an
nual meeting Of the club although
the presiding officer declined to say
whether the letter was formal chal-
lenge or the preliminary to chal-
lenge. 1t was the general opinion of
the members that Sir Thomas had sig
nified his desire to issue challenge
but was anxious that yachts of some
other type should contend for the cup.
The letter was referred to a committee
of five, which be appointed by the
president. When matters have been
arranged satisfactorily the correspond
ence will be given out. A resolution
of thanks to the syndicate which
owned the Reliance was passed and
the members of the syndicate, and
those who commanded the yacht were
presented with clocks which carried
on their faces a representation of the
America's cup. Frederick u. Bourne
was elected commodore.

murdered man, Owen Kinsella and
Miles Kinsella, Peter Mafer, Stephen
Maher and Michael Kavanagl, all
testified, and five OF the seven swore
that Freeman fired the shot which
killed Kinsella. The counsel for the
government, however, made no effort
to show the damaging admission made
by the emergency men at the coron-
er's inquest, and intimated that they
did not think Freeman ought to be
convicted The packed jury took the
government at its word, and acquitted
every one OF the emergency men. The
presiding judge, Judge O'Bricn, cx-
pressed his sympathy with the cmer-
gcncy men, who were, he said, "cn-
gagged in a dangerous service" and
added that no matter who were in pos
session Of the lands the landlord had
a right to distrain for the rent.
So outrageous was this declaration,
however, that i'll the following June,
before the very same judge, the qucs-
ton of the legality OF the seizure OF
Kavanagh's property was settled in an
action by Kavanagh against the land
lord, Maj. Brooke, in which Kavanagh
secured verdict for the full amount
OF his property and costs, the seizure
being held to be illegal.
The miscarriage Of justice in the
kinsella case was SO fragrant that
years afterward the very mention of
the case on English platforms by pub
lie speakers was sufficient to arouse
public resentment among the men i'll
terestcd in the Irish question. No
body was ever punished for the crime,
while the men who had committed it
were allowed, as Archbishop Walsh,
of Dublin, described it, to go "swag-
gcring about the district and jccring at
the evicted tenants - 1t was about the
same time that Mr.. William Redmond,
M. p, was imprisoned for three
months. He was present when the
emergency men, police and soldiers
we're storming the house OF Tom
Somers, another Of the tenants to be
cvictcd on the property, and Somcrs
and his friends we're stoutly resisting
eviction.
Mr.. Redmond exclaimed to the oc-
cupants OF the house, "Wcll done,
Wexford men" and for this he was
sentenced to three months imprison-
mcnt with hard labor.
Various other incidents of similar
kind we're associated with the history
OF the struggle of the Coolgrcany
property, SO that the announcement
that the brave fellows who suffered so
much are again to be put back on their
farms and given chance to become
owners of their old homes will cause
a thrill Of satisfaction everywhere that
the history Of the Coo1grcany evictions
became known.

That she is ia years old is con-

late Rev. Father O'Dwyer, a priest
OF Bennington, who consulted the
records OF her former parish in Ire
