[ Special Telegram to tlio Hii.J : : The committee of welcome to tlio incoming Irish agitator , William O'Urlonre , mained on tliu steamer John K. Moore , nt quarantine , until 0 o'clock last cvenlng.whon they de'.ei mined to go In search ol the Um- brla , It being evident she was not coming up. After getting a doctor aboard nnd securing n IK'rmli from ttie custom ofllccrs , they started mid alter n long and peillous trip through n der.se fog nnd a largo licet of detained ves sels , they reached the Unibrln , way outsldn the bar unit olt the Iteht ship. The big Cuii- arder was crowded and the coming up of the wee steamboat brought everybody on deck. The first gtcoting of the visitor was a round of cheers for Mr. O'Hrlon and this was met by a genetal cheer of welcome and In nil in stant three chcetH tor Lord Lniisdnwuc from hundreds of lusty English throats on the steamer's crowded side * . The cheers came with n will. Cheers were hurled b.ick tor O'Brien and all thu time It was Impossible l'ir the captain of the visiting steamer to make known his wishes about lopes , etc. In n lull of the storm ot huirahs the English national anthem was started , find while hun dreds snug "tiod Save the Queen , " scores Bang " ( ! od Save Ireland. " It was n novel Hlght indeed for such an hour and ttlace. "Tnko this ropoJ" was shouted again and ngaln from the lower .steami'r to the quarter masters on the big Ciinnrdcr. Not the least attention was p.ild the request nnd Instead came back dialling tinm the passengers and others. At last Captain Mc.Michcn was called for and with a llttln bull s eyti lantern came to the bide : "Why do von come and who aio ye , anyhow , com.nc here nnd shout- Ini : , 'tiilto that ropel' us though we were dogs. You can't come on till the doc tors come. ' "We have the doctor nni ) the custom ofli- cor , " WHS shouted back. "Then come on with ye. " "P.iHS clown n rope lndder"was the request from those on the \\eo tender. " \Ve have no lope ladder for ye , " was the surly reponso ot the Cunard eommodore , and n cheer lor William O'llrien was Hutu back in answer. An ordinary ladder was found on the Mooie , nnd nji this the doctor climbed. A stout voice called out : "Aie them any ft lends of mine there who wish me. " It was O'llrlen's voice , and when n hearty "yes" went back he said : "Then I'll come If only as n compliment to the cowaids that control here , lie got on the ladder bravely. .lust at that moment the hawser parted and he came Aery near taking n dip Into the Atlant'c. ' He got on board nowe\cr. and wllh another round ot chccis for O'Brien and counter chceis for Lansdowne the two vessels parted company. Down In the rabln the Irish patriot in his traveling suit ot frhuu was given Hie address already published. Hi ) made a response thaiiKing me mimltteo tor this welcome to American .seas if not to American lands. He spoke of his mission as n delicate nnd to some extent a dangerous one. He spoke ot Icctedby the landlouls ns a soil of llyuro- head. 1 ho question was to bo submitted to the Canadian people to nibltrntc. Ho con cluded by iiiging his hearers to put full confidence In 1'arnell ns n- leader and predicted the utter failure of the Unlfour coercion scheme. It was far Into tlm morning before the com mittee had their guest safe in the Hoffman house. It is not likely that ho will bo. pres ent at the Cooper Institute meeting on Wednesday evening ns ho has an engage ment to speak In the Dominion on that even ing and does not wish to spoil the elleut of his Canadian campaign by speaking on American soil. William O'Uricn was seen at the Holfman house this morning und after alluding to the band of British loyalists who had tried to make it mi- comtortablo lor him on the voyage over , ho said : " 1 cannot wait to speak In New York as much as I would wish to. My mission Is to Canada and 1 must guard all my strength. Besides , they have the tirst right to hear me. 1 shall start tor Montieal to-night and make my Hist speech there. I hear my Irish friends lm\e been refused every laiio hall In Montieal , but that will make no dltrcronce , for , If necessary , 1 shall speak in the public square. " "Have you any fears of trouble ? " "Not the least. I go to Canada on a mis sion popular nllko with 1'rotestant and Cath olic , and will set forth the wronirs of the farmers of Ulster as forcibly ns those of the tellers of the south. Thcio is no leliglous question In the matter , for It is purely one of human justice. 1 appicclntc the Intended honor of the escort fiom Irishmen of Now York , but 1 have declined It and shall go to Canada just as n simple traveler on a peace ful errand. " U'lirlen emphatically denies that Parnell Is sick or suffering from cancer , and sajs that the great Irish leader was never better In his Pte. Ho further says that the coercion bill will pass , but It will react on Its promoters meters and will certainly be lepealed when Its obnoxious provisions become moiosoby enforcement. Speaking of fie 1'ainell lat ter , of whleh so much has been said and written , U'Urlcn asserted most emphatically that It was forgery and it viry clumsy one at that. He would not say that Plggott was a forcer , but ho spoke of him as n reneiraili nnd said that if he did not write the letter h was fully capable of It. U'Hrion said tut It Impels back trom Canada safely , of which hi has no doubt , he will spend n week speak ing In New York , Philadelphia and Huston. Atr. O'lirlcn lutt for .Montreal at 0tO : : to night. In spertfclnu of his proposed trip ho said It would bo conllned to n tew principal cities of Canada. " 1 propose to raise tin public opinion of the people to the nets ot their governor general. Lord Lansdowne - downe , up to the same level as It Is In Ire land , and as It would be were ho n Intidlori' In Canada and pursued the samocouisc as hi has with his tenants In the old country. ' Mr. O'llrien said that ho would be governei by the wishes of his friends thcie. He In tended to spcnk of thn state of affairs 01 Lord Lansdowno's Irish estates In ver ; plain torun. He would point out that tin governor general of Canad.i had in a mos violent nnd wanton manner pursued a coursi ot action contrary to that which had been laU down as acceptable to the Canadian govern mi-lit. Canada had helped lielaml wltl money. He ( O'Hrlen ) would shov her people how to help Ireland in n moro of feetualway. Ho proposed to give Canndi the best opportunity she. ever had to strike i blow which would clfoct wholesale clear nnees. "Lord Lnnsdowne. " said O'llrlon "Is the lirst landlord who has ever evlctei tenants since the plan of the campaign \va adopted. He has depopulated thu district : snironndlng his property , proposing u'due tlons In rents smaller b > tar thai the otliclnl land commissioners are maklm ton surrounding estates , and then icpudlatln hoery terms ho authorized his agent Doiiniiu' , to sK-n , mid which had been suu gested as a settlement of the difficulties nni approved by Lord Lansdowne himself. Hi was thn tlrst landlord to be put forwnrd b the rack renters to test the tenants bec.vus' he , Is supixwed to bo Immensely wealthy llecatiso lie Is located In Canada h Is able to oj > enly defy and Ignor inibllc opinion at home. Our only resonrci feft to save nearly 500 people from the dc Mruction Of their homes and what llttl property they possess Is to appeal to tin Canadian people to protest against thel government's action as contrary to the opln ton of their own parliament. " Speaking o threats of personal violence made , O'llrlei * ald : "Thero are always threat , I believe made ; In joining the battle In behalf of th l.npgacurran tenants , we arc now dolni work astx.-ncflclal to the Ulster farmers as t the other districts. I do not therefor think that any ecctlon of Canada wll try to disturb me. Neither wll they try to prevent me fret putllnc the case before the people. If | li9llia belDJmvd in auy way it would be fa more damaging to Lord Lan downo than to me or the came I plead. " Mr. O'llrien In tends to speak In several cities in this coun try upon Ids return from Canad.i. He de- ellneu to say under whoso authority ho had started on the trip , saying he was responsi ble for his cause. Want to Prohibit Kroo Speech. ToitoXTo , May 10.

[ Special Telegram to thu BIK. : | Two years aio Peter llyati , of Audubon county , was sentenced to twenty years Imprisonment In the state penitentiary for murder , llo had served part of his llmo when his attorneys , L. L. Delano and J. J. Dokln , secured for him a now trial and n change of venue from the Audubon to the Cass district couit. The trial has Just begun befoio Judge Loolbourow. The particulars of thu crime are ns follows : In the month of December , Ib l , Clans Kleever , residing near Draytou , Audubon county , nnd Ins nephew , John Klec\er , a boy of fifteen years of age , were sitting In tlio house by the lire when a man enteieel and asked the privilege of warming. The stranger had evidently been drinking heavily nnel when ho offered Kleever a portion of the contents of his bottle the latter re- fu cd. Then the stranirer went out. re turned nnd went out thu third time. Then the door was opened and some one lired two shots from a revolver. The Hist shot entered the throat of Clans Kleever and the second entered the breast , causing almost Instant death. Ityan was .accused of thomurder nud the clicumstantlal evidence was very strong against him. Younz Kleever proceeded to shift himselt from the upper to thu lower sidu of tlm bed , on which he was lying when Iho lirst shot ' was Hied , and can'not tell who did tlio shoot ing. At liiht ho said he did not know the stranger \ \ ho entered the house1 , but It Is now understood that ho will testifv on the stand that It was Peter Uvan. A pa'ir of mittens lelt on the btove hearth by the stranger were nlso Idenlllied as Ryan's. At any rate ltyan was tried betoie Judge Loofhourow in tlio Audubon district court in a town whcro Iho feelinir was so intense against the defendant that lynching was commonly talked of nnd ho was sentenced to twenty yeais Imprison ment. As s'lowlnr ' the notoriety of tlio case It may be stated as a fact that over seventy jurymen stated that thelrnrejudlces wore too strong to admit of their giving an impartial decision In the case before a jury panel could be obtained. The hearing of the evi dence will begin to-morrow. Iowa MarshalH in Senslon. Dns MOINI : , la. , Mnv 10.

WASIII.VOTO.V , May 10. | Special Telegram to the Bii.J : The civil service commission ers nre rapidly discovering that they have made n huge blunder when they designed and adopted their recent plan for examining candidates for promotion In the executive departments hero. In an Interview with n reporter Mr. Oberly declares that the pro posed examinations arc not to bo schoolboy contests nor technical Inquests , but are to bo confined entirely to the duties of the posi tions sought for. But , granting they nro to bo so , the press nnd public come back nt the commissioners with the statement that the clerks have already shown their Illness for those positions by the efliclent work they have been doing for years , and why examine those who have already shown their fitness and elllclencyV This Is n poserto thecommls- sion , and up to n late hour this evening no answer has been formulated by the com mission to this adamantine conundrum , and while they are laboring at it , the storm of abjurgatlon and protestations grows louder and hotter , and the two commissioners who devised the precious scheme are now the most vehement lit wishing they hadn't been and gone and done It with nutto , so much en thusiasm. U Is estimated by a depaitmoiit odiclal who Is said to bo in a position to know , that at least seven-eighths of the old government employes will IOMI their posi tions under the new rules. Vacanclon , va cancies , vacancies , and competitive exami nations stretching out to the crack of doom to correspond , the official day will neo.l to have a portion of It set aside , like lunch hour , for the purpose of competitive exami nation. The uncertainty and appre hension among government employes , the fear of losing their places not because un lit for duty , but beauso of this or that politics or because unable to answer mis cellaneous questions of n hostile examiner tend to demoralise the working force , making It shitting , changeable and unreliable. The capital city is injured as well as tlio govern ment , because tlio employes will not make permanent homes , any improvements or In vestments here or become In any way Iden tified with the city if tne terror of dismissal on grounds which a most faithful perform ance ot duty will not necessarily avoid is constantly before them.

The lia bilities are estimated at 3443,000 and the ns- icts at 5250,000. The firm Is composed of Francis T. Sherman and Ebon J. Marsh. The firm of Schimbel & Co , , M Dca'sborn street , next door to Sherman & Marsh also oado an assignment to Mr. Judah. The Ha- 'littles ' are $303,000 and the assets S1S3,000. The members of the firm are Ebon J. Schna- belandEuonJ. Marsh , ( the same Marsh hat Is In the firm ot Sherman & Marsh. ) "All 1 can say about It , " said Mr. Marsh. 'Is that we were relying upon certain remittances with which to uent obligations nnd these remittances were lot forthcoming. There was nothing left Tor us to do but to give up , so we made an assignment. " "Can you state , Mr. Marsh , what are the cnu es of jour failure ? " "Well , I suppose the Immediate cause of the failure Is the operation ot the Inter-state commerce act. That bill has had the effect of simply shutting us out. Wo could not go out of Chicago with our products and hope to do business on antlhlng like a paying basis. Tins is the Immediate cause of the present trouble , but the truth Is the business ias been anything but uiotitable for the last three years. There hoi been too much over- jrortuctlon In barb wire fencing. " "We have made no "preferences of crod- .tors , " said General Sherman , "nnd we have decided on no plans yet. Nor have wo given any judgment notes. We shall await the action ot our creditors , before whom tl > e state of affairs will bo .presented , and shall then act according to their wishes and for the best Interest of all concerned.

The change In the condition has not been unifoim thtotuhout tlio winter district , some stales showinir an inctease and a majority n slight decline and a few a heavy falling off. The drought has reduced the acreage some what in eastern gulf states , and wrought very serious damage In Texas and Arkansas. Tlio lowering condition during the month 10 and 10 points respectively. Favorable tompeiaturo and seasonable rains have Improved the prospect in Tennessee , West Virginia nnd Kentucky. The most serious reduction of the month Is In Ohio where there Is a falling off of eight points since April 1st due to the continuing evil cirects of alternate freezing und thawing noted in the last report and a small crop Is now Inevitable. Michigan and Indiana show a slight decline while In Illi nois and Missouri there Is a gain of ono point.
