Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, announced in the House of Commons that the eovcrnmuit had proclaimed the Irih National League, ; The Govern ment had thus taken the power conferred Uon them by that etntute to prohibit and suppress the League. The Pall Mall Gazette very vigorously attacks the gov emment party for ad iptlng in the House of Commons t ho Iuxrl of Cadogan's amendment to the Irish Land bill relat ing to town prks. The Gazette urges the Liberals to revolt against the govern ment's Irish policy in the House of Com mons, toobstincttue passage of supplies measures, and thus force dissolution Mr. Parnell, aaid that the action of the government in proclaiming the League was a f rntuitious insult to the Irish, considering the present condition of Ireland. It was merelv a move to cover the weakness of the land bill. If the bill did not protect ' tenants from eviction, trouble would be inevitable dur ing the coming winter. A riot occurred at Kcnmare, County Kerry. Ireland, and t mob attacked and stoned the barracks where the police were quartered. The police charged with drawn swords upon the rioters, injuring many of them and arresting a number. The Irishmen of Liverpool adopted resolutions protesting against the proc lamation of the Irish National League. Similar resolutions were adopted at n meeting of radicals in London. A dele gation of members of the English home rule union will soon visit Ireland in order to give expression to the good-will of English liberals toward the - Irish.

Till he poke, the great majority of Englishmen regarded the tunnel scheme aa dead and buried and took a humorous view of Pir Edward Wstkins's fitful effort at resur rection. Mr. Gladstone's language re vives their fears. There sre largo num bers of . Englishmen who consider the question whether a tunnel shall be made under the channel as considerably more vital than the question whether Ireland shall have home rule. The effect of Mr. Gladstone's uncalled-for profession of faith in this scheme will be to alienate the votes of such Englishmen. OLD HTCKORTS FAVORITE. t nevaa a As la fturaii.

Smith, engineer of the emigrant train, and Isaac Arbuthnot, fireman, were in stantly killed. The engineer and fireman of the freight tram were only alightly in jured. Fifteen of the emigrants are seriously, but none were fatally hurt. Smith and Arbuthnot lived in Wheeling where they have families. The accident was the result of a misapprehension of orders on the part of the engineer of the freight train, who thought he had the right-of-way and pulled out of the siding just as the emigrant train came up. The Baltimore & Ohio express train which left Pittsburg, Pa., jumped the track at Hermitage station, six miles east of Con nellsvillo, badly wrecking the engine and and baggage can, which went over an embankment. One passenger coach was derailed, but none of the passengers were injured.; The train men escaped by jumping, the only person hurt being the fireman, who broke his leg. A passen ger trail on the Peoria, Decatur & Eyans ville Rlulroad was derailed near Salt creek, Ho. The engine-and all the cars left the rails while going forty miles an hour.

The fist plates and spikes had been re moved from the rails. In weeds on the bank a crowbar and other tools were found, with which the work .had been done.

A freight train following close behind was stopped a few yards from the derailed passenger train, and thns what might have been a horrible disaster was averted.

It was decided to clean out' the well on tbe Woolfolk place near Macon, Ga., the residence of tbe late Capt. Woolfolk, who was so brutally murdered with his family. After going don pretty deep a pair of socks was found ail blood stained, which were identified as the socks commonly worn by Tom Woolfolk. This adds another lit k to the chain whu h is already drawing about the neck of the murderer. The searchers hoped to find hi pistol in tbe well, but they failed, as it hud been either sold or pawned in Macon before the deed was committed. Shortly after the discovery of the mur ders, a photographer took a large and life-liko picture of the horrid scene, which was shown Tom Wolfolk in his cell at the Atlanta jail by a fellow-prisoner. His eyes came in contact with it, but rested there but a second only. Then they rolled quickly away and about the cell. As quickly, however, they re turned to the picture, and then away again. A fascination drew bia eyes to wards it as rapidly as some unexplained feeling carried them away. The fascina tion mastered the situation, and in less time than it takes to tell it, the prisoner's eyes were riveted upon the picture. The gsze was intent and ateady, and as the outlines began to be defined, Woolfolk began to tremble. The tremble soon be came a shake, and raising both hands to bis face as if to ahut out the horrible bloody vision, he turned upon his heels, .saying: "Oh, my God I that is horrible I" In McDowell county, West Virginia, and in southwestern Virginia a dreadful state of affairs exists.

The survivors say, that on the first day after leaving the steamer, they experienced very rough weather. They bod a plentiful supply of bread and meat, but very little water. As a conse quence they suffered badly from thirst. The weather was hot, and this greatly contributed to their discomfort. The rescued men say that when their boat left the burning steamer, there were fif teen persons on board. Finding it too crowded, two persons juincd aboard an other boat. There was only half a keg of water in the boat, and that was bad. There was no sail aboard and no means for signalling passing vessels. Tha boat was nearly swamped twice and the men hod a hard struggle to keep her afloat by bailing. Two duys after leaving the ' steamer, sighted another vessel and pulled; , toward it and found that it was the City of Montreal, still burning. They tried to board her to obtain more water, but Jicr plates were too hot. ROYALLY TREATED. QeeeaTieterla Receives a Plata Aaierleaa ( itlsea, Wk Preeated aa Addree.

Coming, as it does, from persons of English birth beyond the seas, who retain feelings of love for their mother country, and sympathy for her welfare. I receive it with pleasure and satisfaction. That the people of Chicago should have given expression to these kind sentiments, not only toward tho Anglo-Saxon race in these realms, but also toward myself, is to me a source of much gratification, and sustains me in the belief that the friendship and good will which now exists between tiie two countries, and which I have always en deavored to promote, are of a real and enduring character." Mr. Collier was driven to Cowes in the royal carriage. He returned to London in the evening. Being asked if he kissed the queen's hand, he replied: "No; that would be improper, aa I am not a British subject I am proud to be an American citizen." STEAMER LOST.
