NKW Yomc , June 4-Kdltor William
O'Brien to-tiny received a delegation from
Tammany hall and was presented with re c-
lutlons expressing Indignation at the conduct
of l.ord Lansdowno's followers In Canada
and sympathy with O'Brien's course. General
oral Hourke Cochrano , the chairman , made t
short address , which wa ? responded to bj
0 Brlen In words of deep acknowledgement
of the manner In which iho American people
had attested their sympathy for thu IrUI
people. O'Brien was hem-god with callers a !
th Hoffman house this afternoon. To-nlghl
O'Brien will review a monster parade In his
honor and deliver an address.
The great labor demonstration an
noiinced to take place to-night In honoi
of William O'Brien was a good doa
ot a Hasco , owning to the fact that the lahoi
people Insisted that the cause of Kev. Ur
Mcil > nn should be approvingly Introduced
Into the resolutions to be adopted at the
union .Square mcotinif and that llenrv
( icoi go'Mand theory should also be advocated
When O'Urlen ' looked through the rrsolutlor
h erased Dr. McGljnn and the land theorj
topics , especially that part which spoke ol
the "persecution" of McUlynn. Then hi
sent them back to the committee that prepared
pared them. The committee became excited
and had an extended wrangle ot what shouk
be done. Lawyer 1'ost , who was to Intro
duce O'Brien , declared that he would nol
attend the nmetlng unlobS the resolution :
were read In the original shape.
Later O'Brien learned that John Me
Mackln , who presided at two lectures dolly
cred by Lyniun , of Phtunlx park notoriety
was to preside at the Union bquaro meeting ,
Heat onre resolved to have nothing todc
vvlta It. The committee determined to throv
over O'Brien rather than McMackiu , whc
conducted the Henry George campaign
Inst fall. 'I'ho result was that O'Urlei
did not appear. In Union Square , when
thn meetlni ; was held , 20,000 people were as
sembled. On the piazza of the cottage fac
ing the plara at the upi > crond ot the sqimn
were Dr. McUlynn , John McMackln , lr
Edward Malone.state delegate to the Irish Na
tlonal lo.-uue.and others. McMackin made tin
opening speech on the basis of George's land
theory. Dr. McGlynn was loudly cheered or
rising and said It was shocking that aftei
having been honored by thn Invitation ot tilt
United labor party , the Knights ot haboi
and cential labor union , O'Brien dare die
tatu to them and scratch and cross out portions
tions of the resolutions. After McGlymi'f
speech , thn icsolutlons read and adopted , and
8 | > eeches were made by otliuis.
I'ho matter has created n great sensation Ir
Irish and labor circles. O'Urien ha ? written
a long statement for the Sun , giving his in
terviews on the subject , and adding : "J
most deeply regiet that anything should oc
cur which prevents me from expressing ir
poison my gratitudoto the working rlossesoi
New lork tor the loyal , hearty service I atr
nuite sure they Intended to render tc
tlio cause to-nlitht by this demonstration

In the proceedings because the only alter
native left me was to Inlllct what 1 kncvt
would bo a deadly blow at a movement ir
wliich the happiness of ourpi > ople during tin
present generation io bound , "
Henry George did not attend the meeting ,
sending a letter say in * that a previous en
gagement prevented Ills presence at the
meeting and adding that lie did not sym
pathlze with the homo rule movement , ns ii
stopped short of what the Irish people shouli
have possession of the land.

BOSTON , Juno 4. The final session in Bos <
ton of the Union Pacific Investigation com.
nilttco was held this morning. Presldoul
Adams was the first witness. Hu said the
consolidation had been advantageous for at
the roads. It was very apparent , ho said
that the whole matter ot consolidation ha ;
benefited the country exceedingly , and , In hi'
opinion , any attempt to sever the consollda
tion would bo exceedingly unfoitunatc
Much had been said about the fact that r
largo portion of the stock of the Union Pa
clllc and Kansas Paclllc was Issued for con
strucllon purposes , and was not to be paid
for In cash , ' 'but , " the witness dcclaied
"tliero has bcon paid more than 10 tier cent In
cash In stock of the Union Paclllc. " Witness
believed that , however much may have bcon
made by private Individuals , there Is no partv
In the country that has made so much out ol
the Union Pocllie as the government of UK
United States. The entire amount which II
has paid to the company has , ho claimed ,
been repaid fully live times over. Ho claimed
that If.tlioroad should , when the time for the
maturity of Its ) debt arrived , find Itself tin
able to meet Its obligation , It will be innelj
the fault of the government for Its attitudt
toward the road and the passage of the Tliur-
man act. The sliming fund created by till'
act , which Its projector claims would earr
0 per cent , is In reality a barren fund
locked up In Ira napkin and beating
only 3 per cent "Tho government , " ho said
"forces us to divert our money to a source
that no business man has contldenco In , and
ladmlt that It Is neither justice , business 1101
common sense. The government holds oui
arms while our competitors pick our pockets
With the 57,000.000 locked up In this fund wi
could develop the western country nud trans
form the fortunes of the road. If the gov
eminent should give the road its fieedom and
the road should fall to ine.ct Its obligations
then the government could step In and fore
close. " At noon the hearing was tlnallv

WAOIUNOTON , Jun6 4 , [ Correspondence
of the BEE. ] The national drill from which
so much was expected has ended. From n
military standpoint it was as successful ns
could have been expected under all the cir
cumstances , General Augur , who was the
commandant of the camp , was supported by
a corps of aids who did all tuat was possible
to make the camp as attractive to the visiting
spectators , and as beneficial to the military as
It was designed to be. The fact that It was
not under strict military discipline was
duo solely to the fact that the troops wcro ic-
spousiblo only to the governors of the states
under whom they servo ; and then only whtln
under the jurisdiction of those governors.
The United States has no authority over
state troops whatever until these troops are
regulaily mustered Into the service of the
general government. Still , on the whole ,
there was as much order and discipline In
camp George Whosiilngton as could have been
expected. From the standpoint of finance
too , the affair has been successful. A bur
glar who follows his "profession" for years
without getting Into the moshcs of the law Is
usually successful financially. The drill
committee , those who , had chaigo of the
linanclal arrancemcnts , carried out their portion
tion of the work
VK11V MUCH AS A. SUCCESSFUL nUHOLAll
would carry out Ills plans. They bad but one
aim In view. That w.is to make money out
of this much advertised " .National" drill. To
do this they robbed ttio public as uncere
moniously as the lamented Claude Dtiv.il
would tiavo neeomtilislied the name object.
They would advertise a "eraud dress parade"
and then would order half a dozen compa
nies out to take part In It. ly ! this method
the dress parade would ho stretched out for a
week. People who paid their money expect
ing to see the entire cncimpnicnt out In lull
unlfoini went away disgusted alter seeing
jflO or 250 men drawn up Into line on the
Held. On the duv sot forthe competitive bat-
talllon drill 5,000 people paid ' > cents
each to see it and two-thirds of
t'lem ' cave up an additional quarter for a
seat on the stands , Before a single one of
the competing organizations had completed
the programme assigned to It , a drenching
rain stonn came up find thn spectators wcro
compelled to seek shelter outside ( the shelter
afforded by the covers over the sheds was
about as good as a sieve would ha\o pro
vided ) . Yet , although the thousands nad
scarcely been on the grounds ten minutes ,
and had neon absolutely nothing , they were
mol with the statement that "no return
checks" would bo given. The drill company
were after money. The satisfaction and
fair treatment ot patrons did not concern
them at all. Again , on Sunday last , n
"grand military sermon" wus advertieed to
be delivered by Air. Talmage free. In spite
of the advertisement tlm sermon was not
only not free to the visitors , bill every soldier
was made to pay M cents If tie wanted to
hear the word ot ( led preached for his beu-
rlit. Throughout the week there has been a
disgusting exhibition pf money-gutting
on the part of the civil commit
tee. The national'drill was robbed of
all Us elevating features by the sordid man
agement which characterized everything out
side the military headquarter of the general
command and his staff. Thuro never was an
ullalr which owed so much to the goodwill of
the pruss of the country and In which
TIIK I'UKSS WAS 80 UTTKHLY lOXOItEn.
The arragements made fov the reporters
would have dlsgraced'a country fair In the
Indian Territory. Tlio press committee were
denied every privilege except bare admission
and oven tickets ot admission wore doled out
grudgingly. They went adsigned "headquar
ters under the grandstand , directly In view
of a ten-loot boardvfpnce,5 and wore pro
vided \\ltli tables made fiom unplaned pine
lumber ( furnished by ouo of the romnutten
who bu > s it all back at a very noavy discount ) .
Ot course these hog pen benches wcro inner
utilized. On the last day , when the pri/os
were to bo awarded , the reporters and coires-
pondonts wore naturally anxious to be as
near the platform occupied by General Sheri
dan as possible. General Sheridan was quite
willing that they should Let as near
to him rts they could , but an
otllclous member of the executive
committee- was determined that none of
the newspaper men should have any laclli-
tles not lurnlsUed by the afoiementloned
pine benches. General Ordway , however ,
came to the relief of the boys and they , as
usual , got there just the same.
Slnco the drill closed there lias been more
or.Iess talk of keeping up the organisation or
drill committee with the vlow to the annual
reproduction of the alfair pf this year. T/iis /
too In splto of the statement that the sul > -
scrlbers to the encampment will not receive
back a dollar of their subscriptions. Onlv
one local paper has had the courage to criti
cize the management of the affaire. Out
siders however , do not take all the statements
of the local press without condiments , and it
will bo exceedingly difficult to Induce many
of the participants to join the people of
Washington in another venture of the kind ,
If the .same men are allowed to manage thu
next alfair.
'ihcre may bo "national" drills In Wash
ington In the tutuie. In fact there l.s a de
cided feeling In favor of the , annual encamp
ment of the militia of the different states on
one field. But if Washington Is nsaln
selected the drill will bo under the direct
ausplecs ot the National government as it
should be. Some membeis ol congress \\lio
were present at the affair hero last weuk are
greatly taken wltn tlm Idea of an annual
competlon among the citizen soklleiy
and already talk oF taking the preliminary
steps to secure the endorsement of the Idea
by congress next winter. So long ns tlm
United States has nosUindlng army It would
doubtless be an excellent idea to stimulate
an esprit du corps among the boys who
would bo called upon to protect the Hair In
case of need. Uut the next national diill
should and probably u ill bo devoid of those
features which have made that which Has
just closed BO malodorous.

A good story U told t the expense of ono
ot the assistants to United States District
Attorney Daniel Lockvvood by a former stu
dent of the Buffalo medical college. The
prenenco ot the assistant attorney In lids city
last week called It to mind. Some years ago
1'rof. Mason , of New Haven , Conn. , wits thn
lecturer on pbsiolouy and toxicology at that
college , and it was lib * custom to IHusUatu
hi * lectures with experiments upon tiio
lower animals. On one occasion while
tolling the students the effects of vari
ous poUont bo remarked that the
Indiansof South America wore accus
tomed to uso' poisoned arrows to kill tholi
gam * with. . This poison used 'was known
\\ooraia , and It could bo tnkon Into the
stomach , he said , without injury , but It a
single drop of the stuff should bo Injected
lute the blood f.ital results would al
once follow. To piovo his experiment
ho took a small quantity and Injected
It Into thn stomach of a dog , which seemed
to catu > o the c.Miinu no Inconvenience. Thou
no Injected a drop more. Into tlio veins of n
Pliteon. The bird died Instantly. The fol
lowing day one of the students asked what
would be the effect If ono of them should cat
the bird. Mason replied tli.it he did mil
know. The boy who was helpln.htm , now
the United States assistant district attorney ,
volunteered the information that the person
ratline the pigeon would have a good meal ,
and that was the only result likely to follow ,
llo said that he stwice from experience , as he
had eaten that Identical bird. 'Iho professor
was astounded , his nalr fairly stood on end ,
as ho remarked , "Well , my boy , you have fat
moro lalth In experiments than I have my-
solf. 1 would not have eaten that bird undci
any consideration. " I' . S. UKATII.

Paris Letter to London Truth : The
Princess Jotirlc&ky is determined to rank
hero as a society queen , and to make Rus
sians feel what a pity it is that she has
not a chance of reigning in the same
sphere at St. Potorsbnrc. She and the
Princess Mnthilde have become fast allies.
And the latter illustrious lady has turned
over to thu late ozar's widow the literary
and otiier distinguished habitues ot her
salon. When conversation flags , mttsio
comes in at the receptions of the Princess
Jouricsky. She gives her warm patronage -
ago to Russian artists. firandouLofl' , n
violoncellist of great talent , plays at her
soirees. The fuir , soft skin which so
charmed tlio late c/.ar when ills late relict
was Princess Dolgorouki is well pre
served. 1 don't suppose that she has any
of the crown jewels of Russia , but her
casket is as well furnished as if she had ;
Mid , at her last reception , the black dress
slio were was so studded with diamonds
that she mitrht have gone in it to a mas
querade as a starlit night.
Mrs. Simmons , of Canawaugus , N. Y. ,

blinding Hash of lightning which ren
dered her insensible for abobt two hours ,
i'ho house was not btruck , neither did
any of the inmates experience any

It is sniq to ho a fact that after a couple
of dogs had fought savagely for si little

that had been watching tlio combat sud
denly jumped between tlio dogs , and by
scratching and yelling vigorously sepor-
ated them and drove them away in a

was received with the greatest regret. So
many of Mr. Davis' friends nro to bo

who can pay tribute to his worth as a
public spirited citizen and philanthropist ,
that there is no necessity of a published
statement of his many good deeds. Ho
was the possessor of liberal means and
tljspensed his money in a way which In
dicated his generous heart. His family
will receive the earnest sympathy ol hun
dreds. The remains will bo brought to
