3ZB. O'JiRIES ATQ ZiEBEC.
U'ltat lie Said in Ills Speech 37 ero on the
12th.
Quebec , May 12. In his speech here to-
night ' , O'Brien said he had to express hia
acknowledgments notme rely to his friends ,
bnt ] to his opponents , for the courtesy and
fair play he had received up to the present
time. 1 He believed that a good many pre ju-
dices and misunderstandings which had
arisen with reference to his visit were
being 1 already dispelled , and expressed con
fidence j that , the more the subject was
thrashed ( out , the more severely
every . humane and liberty-loving man
in Canada would condemn the conduct
of ] Lord Lansdownc , and the more they
would recognize that his visit was the only
means : left to avert the total destruction of
an j entire community of oppressed and
cruelly i wronged tenants. The Irish people
bad not sought this quarrel with Lord
Lansdowne. He had himself forced it by
making ; himself thechampion and standard-
bearer of the worst and most inhuman class
of rack-renters in Ireland. [ Hisses. ] "The
Jlontreal Herald of to-day , " he coni
tinued , "took up the position , with
which I do not for one moment
quarrel { , that the Canadian people would
not take , on the statement of others , the
acrtion that I.ord Lansdowne was as black
as he was painted , uctil the * other side was
heard from. I invite or challenge Lord
Lansdowne to answer or dispute a single
fact which the Herald says should not be
accepted ; until he has had an opportunity
of doing this. " O'Brien concluded his ad-
dress , with an eloquent peroration predict-
ing an early deliverance from landlordism
in Ii eland and from the curse and abomin
ation of Dublin Castle rule.
ASSEXATIOS OF CAXADA.
Washington special : There is again some
agitation of the question of annexing Can-
ada to the United States. It is reported
that influential and wealthy Canndiansare
favoring the proposition , while the great
bulk of manufacturers , mechanics and la
borers are workiug for annexation. An ed
ucated manufacturer at Ontario has writ
ten a letter here , iu which he says : "Wo
are all annexationists. We believe that
our future properly depends on a speedy
admission into the American union. The
people in my trade across the border make
nearly 10 per cent more than Ido with the
dame number of employes. There are many
other things. We are greatly dissatisfied
with our present position as a British de
pendency. Suppose the mother country
was to set into a war tomorrow. We would
be greatly jeopardized , forourAtlanticand
Pacific coasts are greatly exposed. We
mi ht be ruined by being involved in a
uuarrcl we had nothing to do with making.
Then there is another matter that
causes the greatest discontent
meat. We have no representatives
m the imperial parliament. Asa part of
the American union we would be beyond
lanser of attack whenever England became
involved in war. Besides our rights as a
; olony we would be part of a great nation
with si voice in its affairs. There is an or
ganization in this country , extending all
> ver Canada , which is for the purpose of
nromoti g the growth of the amendment
ror annexation. The movement here in-
-ludes nearly three-fifths of the leading
men of this district , nnd it has the same
strength all over western Ontario. It is
• specially influe. iiul in Manitoba and the
northwestern province * on the Pacific. It
is a secret society in that its meetings are
not open to the general public. We intend
to agitate the question tdl we succeed.
Lord LansdowiK-'s " course as governor-
general is aiding us greatly. TheFronch-
• • peaking class of our pe > ple have not for
gotten Papineau and lS37and they are for
annexation to a man. The only people
who oppose ii3 are the would-be aristocracy
and those who call themselves the court
circle. By the next general election in the
states we want to be ready to ask you to
take us into the American union. "

Tlie CMeft of the Patents Tribe to the Secre
tary of-thn Interior ,
Washington special : A petition has beon
recoived by tho secretary of tho interior ,
through 1 the commissioner of Indian affairs ,
from ( the chiefs of the Pawnee Indians , ia
which they state that they were removed
from j their lands in the Indian territory.
The i application says :
"Since that time wo have mide repeated
application i to your department for an ac
counting , and settlement , in order to nacer-
tain 1 in what position we are financially ,
but 1 have failed to derive any satisfactory
reply 1 to our requests , but havo been put
off < with vnguo and empty promises from
• time 1 to time , until it has now become a
duty to ourselves and families to make a
J final appeal to your just sense of right and
honor. j Grant what we now respectfully
request. i The grievances that we complain
of are a mattar of comparatively easy ad
justment j , viz : For some years wo have
j had persons foisted on us as employes ,
and , paid yearly salaries out of our
annuity i , for whom we could have
no respect , not being sent to
benefit j our tribes , but to prey as leechos
upon , us. without giving us the benefit of
their , mechanical experience or skilled labor.
Some I of the agents that wero furnished us
aided and abetted the employes to carry
out j their nefarious scheming. One , iu par
ticular , , sold tho hides of cattle and appro
priated , the mouoy therefrom to his own
use i , as was proven by tho evidence at the
trial ot Wichita , Kas. , he at thesame time
being j in collusion with a trader at tho Paw
nee , agency in tho Indian Territory when
the i case was presented to the secretary of
the ' intei ior. An investigation was ordered
and Inspector McNeil Bent to investigate ,
and ( he found that instead of paying a half
yearly annuity.to tho Indians , the money
was ; ostensibly paid over to tho trader , the
Indians making their mark on the pay roll
( is t hough they werereceivingtheir amounts
per ] capita. Yet this agent and trader aro
in , Arkansas City contracting with tho pres
ent < government for flournnd othersupplies
for these same Indians of our tribo. and
here j let us express our disapproval of this
and , other irregularities. This agent , Sear
ing j by name , and Matlock , a trader , were
in i collusion with a cattle contractor , and
previous 1 to the beeves being weighed thoy
were well salted on tho prairie and then
driven ( ton creek where they filed themselves
to overflowing and wero then driven on the
scales. ' It addition to this the contractor's
men stood on the scales and pressed them
down j to increase their weight. Then when
driven ( a few yards off they dropped dead
with excitement and exhaustion.-
"This is not mere verbiage but a matter
of record now on file in your office. If fur
ther J evidence is needed there is a resident
of ( this city who is cognizant of the facts
and j who will make affidavit thereto. We
ji respectfully i desiro the removal of the clerk
orsub-iigent ' now nt the agency and his
brother who pretends to be a farmer but
who renders no aid in that capacity. In
fact \ , the office , ns it now is , is a sinecure ,
which we object in the most strenuous
manner to pny Tor. Our supply of medi
cines ( is not. complete , in consequence of
which the school was closed , and when the
measles ] broke out , the proper remedy not
being , nt hand , several died , who by judi
cious , treatment might have been saved.
Among the number were the children of

A ItECEPTIOX TO JEFF.
The Idolized Son of the South Eanquctcd at
Meridian.
Meridan ( Miss. ) special : At 11 o'clock
yesterday morning a public icccption was
given J to Jefferson Davis at the residence of
Colonel , J. 11. Mcintosh , where he is stay
.
ing. For two hours a stream of people
passed through the parlors and shook
j
hands ' with the ex-cliieltain and his daugh
ter. Mr. Davis was in his best humor and
had 1 a pleasant word for each one that
shook i his hand. At 5 o'clock last evening
a banquet and reception was given in th
court house grounds. Davis made a short
address , in which he thanked the people of
Meridan Tor their most cordial reception.
At the banquet there were GOO plates , and
seated ' at tiie tables weie the most distin
guished l men of the state. A floral wreath
was brought in and E. 11. Dial presented it
to Mr. Davis in the name of the women of
Meridan. ; Davis , in accepting it. said : "God
has 1 graced the south with beautiful flowers
and lovely women. The most blensed wo
men are those of our own southland , with
such ' reeling expression. The be.iutitul How
ers which were arranged so artistically by
loving hands are more beautiful linir any
thing tlint has been given to me. " Tlie3ec
ond tonst was to "Jefferson Davis , the Sol
dier , , Statesman , and Champion of South
ern Bights. " It was responded to by Hon.
Thomas II. Woods. When Davis rose
to reply he was greeted with
long and continued applause. He began by
apologizing for the short nddre.-s he would
make , and said that he was quite fatigued
Troiii the day's exercises. Continuing , he
said : "I am unable to treat this theme as
it should be without premeditation What
was the army and navy to the south ? It
was the patriotism of the persons who
bared their breasts to bullets in defending
constitutional right , with great navies and
armies against us. We formed e iments
and battalions , and at their head we placed
Lee as their commander. Wo lemember
the scene-i when the wife , as she thnnv her
arms around her husband , and tiiedaugh
ters in loving embrace , gathered mound
those that were to go , and then the wid
owed mother , as she let the tear diops fall
on the faoe of the devoted son that she
would never see again , and girdled his
sword to his waist and told him to go forth
as his father would havedone. These were
the kind of men we had. With inferior
numbers of men we marched onward , fight
ing for our rights , and battle after battle
was fought and won : but the northern his
torians never conceded that , and indulged
iu triumphs of mind over matter. But now
these scenes and incidents have passed and
they only live in mindsand history. United
you are now , and if the union is ever to be
broken , let the other side break it. The
army oT the south will shine for ever around
the camp fires and will shine to our child
ren an/1 children's children. The truths
we Tought for shall not encourage you to
ever fight again , but keep your word in
good orevil. God bless you all. "
lVIXTEli LOSSES OF CATTLE.
Boston , Mass. , May 13. The Commer
cial Bulletin publishes to-day a special re
port of the range cattle industry. The
reports are furnished by special correspond
ence ' of thirteen states and territories cover
ing the whole field. The conclusions ar
rived at indicate that the early reports of
winter losses have been considerably exag
gerated. The only territory where cattle
men suffered severe losses was in Montaua ,
where the mortality proves to have been
15 to 25 per cent on an average. On the
whole the conclusion is arrived at that the
past winter was a favorable one to the
cattle raising interests of the West. The •
reports show that the grazing territory is I
being generally encroached upon by emiI I
grants. It is the opinion of some that the (
cattle industry has reached its height 1

SOME MORE OF SAGE.
lie EnUalitenB Farther In Rtnard to the Pa-
eiflc Railroad Affairs.
New Yoiik , May 13. The session of tho
Pacific ; Railroad Commission was resumed
to-day , with Rnssel Sage on the stand. Ho
testified substantially as follows :
"For my sixth interest in the St Louis
pool securities I paid $200,230. Gould had
five-sixths I of the pool , but I understand
lhat ho parted with portions of his inter-
ests. , How much , or to whom , I do not ro1
member. "While Gould was in Europo he
purchased of a Dutch syndicate a large
amount of bonds the stock of which I took
at cost. Fourteen bonds of the Denver
Pacific , 3,592 shares of stock and 100 re-or- *
ganization bonds for $100,000. On the 1st
of ' January , 1880 , I owned 8,877 * shares
of Kansas Pacific stock and 14,700 shares of
Union Pacific stock , besides these , § 758,000
in Kansas Pacific consolidated bonds ;
§ 181,000 in St. Joseph & Pacific ; § 115,000
in Kansas & Nebraska , and § 01.000 in
Denver & Boulder Valley. I bought St
Joseph & "Western and Kansas & Nebraska
in the open market. I think that some of
these bonds were exchanged for consolidated
bonds. 1 suppose Gould acquired the se-
curities by purchase as other people do. I
don't know what he paid for tliem. You
am find that out very readily by putting
him on the stand. Commissioner Anderson
commenced to quote , "Sufficient unto the
day , " when Sage interrupted with : "Gould ,
I think , is very much like myself : He ati
tends to his own business. I do not know
why Gould resigned as director prior to tho
consolidation. I do not question his
motives. I am not iu the habit of guessing
people's motives. If he resigned because
of his proposed dealings in the matter of
the consolidation I don't kno v. It might
have bec.i a reason. The minutes of ihe
meeting of the directors on that occasion
were read and Sage remembered that he
moved the acceptance of Gould's resigna
tion. The resignation was dated January
10. I wrote a letter to Solon Humphries
and G. M. Dodge in October. 1879 , with
reference to the value of property in tho
Wast and desirableness of investments.
Also with reference to the propriety of tho
consolidation of the Union Pacific and
Kansas Pacific. *
" 1 think that Mr. Dillon and Mr. Ames
signed the letter , and possibly , Jay Gould
also signed it , as he had § 17,000,000 in
stock of Union Pacific , and consequently
had considerable interest , - though I am
sure be was like me opposed to consolida
tion , for his real interest lay elsewhere.
My impression is that I did not see the
answer of Messrs. Humphries and Dodge
until the consolidation meeting , though it
is dated January 10" , and addressed to me
with others. " The examination of Sage
was continued with reference to the details
of the consolidation meeting , of which he
remembered very little. "Though I made
a majority of the motions. " When asked
if Gould did not ask him , the day previous ,
to move the acceptance of his resignation ,
witness said : "Gould is not in the habit
of telling me of the doing of anything until
it is done. " Concerning Kansas Central
securities or the earning capacity of thai ;
road , Sage knew very little. He had re
named a director of the Union Pacific , but
lot being on the finance committee , he had
not examined into the matter carfully.
Sage continued : "I don't know that
Gould was a creditor on the books of the 1
Kansas Pacific at the time of the consolida 1
tion. At the time my interests in the
Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific were
were about equal. I believed then and
believe now , had the consolidation been
with tho Missouri Pacific it would have
proved more advantageous to both roads ,
and at the time I simply yielded to the
desires of the directors of both roads against
my better judgment. The Union Pacific
entered as a necessary measure to prevent 1
the extension of the C. 15. & Q. and its :
creation as a formidable opposition line. I
had worked in the company with Commo ]
dore Garrison to get possession of the :
Kansas Pacific for the Missouri Pa
cific , but without my knowledge Gould
acquired Commodore Garrison's interest in
order to prevent his formidable competitor ,
the Missouri Pacific , from obtaining control
of the Kansas Pacific. "
Jamei > 1 * Keeue was the next witness.
He said he was a director of the Union
Pacific and , with Sage , purchased 20,000
shares of Union Pacific of Jay Gould , at
78 cents , a short time before he became a
director. At the time of the consolidation
he was in New York , but did not attend
any of the consolidation meetings. Held
no Union Pacific stock at that time.
"Washington E. Conner , Jay Gould's part
ner , explained the nature of his businesi
relations with the Union Pacific. Had all
the books of the firms of Washington E.
Connor and Washington EConnor & Co.
at his stable. They Nvere open t&
fie Commission. The accountant of the
Commission might examine them an/
Aiake abstracts of Gould's holdings in tl. <
tarinus Pacific stocks and bonds. "It
would take a short timp , " he said in an
swer to Commissioner Anderson , "as
Gould's dealingsare mainly with the large
amounts of stock purchased fiom single
holders , and do not appear on the books of
the company. He had no personal intere ? *
m the consolidation. " The Commissioi
will probably not examine Jay Gould b. |

and his examination will be defencd till

THE XEXTPRESIDEXTIA L COXTEST
"WashingtonMay 13. The fact that
the New York Tribune , Blaine's special
organ , should print the following interview
has attracted much attention Here to-day :
"General Henderson , of St. Louis , chairi
man of the last Republican National Con
vention , speaking of the Republican
prospects in 188S , says : 'In order to win
next year we must nominate a man who is
able to carry New York. I don't think
that Blaine is able to carry New York. I
said so to him some time before the hist
National Convention. With the influences
at work against him there among the so-
called ' Republicans , combined w.th the s
natural Democratic strength , I feel that his j
chances of success are small. I think that ,
Mr. Blaine was not so deeply interested in
his candidacy and would willingly have
given i place to some other Republican , had
it not been for the influences that operated
upon him and upon the Convention. ' " .

think it likely that all troops will be or
dered ( back from tho Vallev except what
they believe to be the minimum number to
sustain i you. My reason for supposing
this is based upon the fact that yieldingup
the Weldon road hcciiih to be a blow to the
enemy ' he cannot stand. I think I do not
overestimate ! tho loss of the enemy iu tho
last two weeks at 10,000 killed and
wounded. We have lost heavily , but ours
has been mostly in captures when the
enemy , gained temporary advantages.

In cleaning out the arms-bearing commu

ment as to who should be exempt from ar

out north of the Potom ic all their stock ,
grain and provisions of every description.
There is no doubt about the necessity of
cleaning out that countyso that it will not
suppurt Mosliy ' s men , and the question is
whetht-r it is not better that tho people
should save what they can. So long as tho
war lasts they must be prevented from
raising another crop , both there and us

TIIE "TIMES" OXI'AItXELLISM.
London , May 13. The Times has re-
sinned the publication of regular articles
intended to show connection between Par-
,
ncllism and crime. The present series of
articles is entitled "Behind the Scenes in i
America. " The matter is the result of ;
inquiry , which the 77 ic.s says it instituted [
last summer into the relations betwevn
American Fenians , and the Parnellites- ,
and purports to contain a number of the
secret records of the Clan-Na-Gael society ,
obtained through a schism in the society
and quarrels among its leaders. Among '
the documents published are what is al .
leged to be copies of the constitution of the
society , list of its officers at various epochs ,
letters from its past and present leaders ,
secret circulars nnd reports of the society's
conventions. The Times says its inquiries i
are not complete for Use reason that the so •
ciety has been re-organized so that its sys •
tem of working has become seemingly an
impenetrable mystery. Editorially , com
menting on the present revelatious , ' the \
Times says : "It is impossible to doubt that ;
the policy of the Parnellites , and , therefore
of Gladstone , is ultimately dictated by the j
head of the society and by Patrick Ford.

authorities to execute three Mexican army
officers for illegally crossing the border at

have caused considerable surprise , as tho
penalty is regarded as entirely dispropor
tionate to the offense. Still , in the ab
sence of any official information on the sub
ject , the Department ean take no action
looking to au intervention in favor of the 1
condemned officers ,

tho latter from a decision of the commis
sioner i of the general land office dated July
11 , 18S5 , holding for the cancellation of
his homestead entry made August 10 ,
18S1. at the Niobrara land office. The en
try was held for cancellation because the
testimony showed that the entryman had
not , acted in good faith. After careful con
sideration , of the whole record it is held
that there was no good reason for disturb
ing the conclusion of the commissioner
whose decision is affirmed.

Ghaslty Attempt at a I'raettcal Joke on a H

St. Paul , Minn. , May 13. A ghastly H
attempt at a joko that borders on sacrilege H
was perpetrated yesterday. A lawyer H
named Flannigan and several friends have H
been on a continual round of pleasure for H
several days , Flauuagan had not quit tho H
spreo after two days , so two of hid friends H
circulated the report that lie was dead in H
one of the rewirls of sin on lower Washing- H
ton street , and then began making arrange- H
ments for a funeral. They went to an H
undertaking establishment and procured H
an elaborate coffin nnd a hearse. Two col-
crc-d gentlemen , with white gloves and a
large bunch of crape on their arms , and 9
eight messenger boys , wero employed to
act as mourners. The procession moved
from the undertaking rooms toward tho
Jfrainon JJe .loir , iu which tho victim was I
sleeping , but the proposed funeral came to H
au abrupt ending at the house. Thchcarso
backed up in front of the house and tho
mourners pulled the coffin out and rang
the door bell , but here the ghastly funeral I
closed , for the door had a chain bolt and
was opened only a few inches and the lady
would not admit them. They tarried I
long enough in front of the house , though , H
to bring the inmates of the other houses
out into the street , who poured out de- I
risive laughter en the procession that ad- I
ded to the mocker } ' of the God-leas I

Our RigMen Abroad.
There w.U be a number of our public men
in Europe this summer. I have heard of at
least twenty Senators who expect to be here
some time next month. Senators Spooncr ,
Hale and McPhcrson arc expected within the
next fortnight. Our public men receive but
very little attention , when they come over
uere , compared to the attention showered up
on the public men of this country or any for-
-ign country when they come to Washington.
There is no representative of any power , how-
• ver humble , who comes to Washington , who
• s not invited on the floor of both branches of
Congress and is certain while there , to be
oresented to our leading public men. This
form of courtesy is never returned here
When our Senators coma to London , the best
that they can obtain is an order ia some of
the special galleries and that they have to
ask ior ; and unless the. come specially In
troduced , they receive no more attention
than anv ordinary tourist. It is time for a
mild retaliation in this direction. I think it
is uo more than rfcbt if our representatives at
Washington shoiiid cease beinso demonstra
tive in ifieir welcome to foreiiM visitors. Let
them poke their way about an I ask for favors.

f-trike the mind first ; but were a careful in-
vestigatson to be made of the conduct of peat
cnte pri es even in ourcountn , where youth
comes arly to the front , the number of men
born before 1815 who are occnuyimr positions
