An Uiirortitnnto Situation.
NKW YOIIK , Juno 7. ISpcclal Telegram
, to thn Bnr..j William O'Brien's refusal to
attend the labor demonstration Saturday
night Is being discussed In every quarter. It
bas created more feeling and more bitterness
among Irish-Americans In this city than
anything which has occurred here during
several years. This Is all the more remark
able as Irish societies and labor organiza
tions were never before brought so closely
face to face and never before crossed swords ,
so to speak , which they are most unques
tionably doing now. To understand this It
should bo stated that the labor organizations
derive most of their strength from the Irish ,
who are leaders , and Influential leaders , too ,
of most of the Henry George societies. But
beside the leaders the Irish form a majority
of the rank and tile. In many
of the assembly districts men who
are officers of local brandies of
the Irish National league are also promi
nently Idcntilled with the labor party In some
localities. If , therefore , there were differ
ences and dissensions before , there are more
now , and If this feeling continues to develop
as It has since O'Brien's refusal to attend
Saturday night's meeting , there wilt be a
fight , and a hard fought fight between ttiose
who are Irish and members ot the labor or
ganizations on the one hand , and those on
the other hand who have no affiliation with
the Sons of Erinexcept that thevare staunch
and firm supporters of Dr. McGlynn. In
some quarters of the city O'Brien's name Is
lauded to the sKles ; In other parts the most
elaborate dictionary that has yet appeared
does not furnish epithets sufficiently strong
to decide what Is called his "base refusal" to
attend the meeting. The Indications , how
ever , are that the tide is turning to the side of
the member for northeast Cork , and that as
his view of the matter Is made known
the views of his opponents will change
to hln side. O'Brien's demand is that the
question bo looked at from an Irish and no )
from an American point of view. The Na
tional leacuo Is divided , thouch the majority
approve O'Brien's cause. The committee
which Is making airangement tor a farewell
dinner to O'Brien this evening , went to tht
Fifth AVUIIUO hotel to Invite James G. Blalne.
Blalno was out , but Walker Blalno assured
the committee of the warm sympathy of his
father with thecauso of homo rule in Ireland ,
and expressed his regret that his father
would not appear at the dinner , owing to
pressing work demanded by arrangements
for his departure for Europe.
O'Brien has received the following tele-
cram from the executive committee of the
National league In Ireland.s Igned Harring
ton. "The executlvecommltto of the National
league in Ireland , in meeting assembled ,
heartily approve your action in keepina
Irish questions free from American Issues.
Ireland's cause appeals to American lovers
of liberty without distinction of party and
we feel convinced no sincere friend will
wish us to involve that sacred cause In Issues
that may delay or hinder the final outcome.
The reception to Editor O'Brien to-nl h (
nt the Hoffman house was a brilliant affair.
Leadlnu citizens united in the ovation thus
tendered under the auspices of the Irlsi :
national league and the lloffmnn house
committee of the Irish parliamentary fund ,

In presenting the guest of the evening ,
Mayor Grace took occasion to laud In glow
Inc terms the learning , patriotism and scr
vices of O'Brien. The latter was recelvei
with great enthusiasm , and proceeded to nx
press his gratitude for the many klndnessci
received. Referring to the Saturday nigh
affair , he said one would think from the re
marks ot some of the papers that thej
envied the laurels of Lausdowne's mobs
Ho beleved American opinion had con
demned them emphatically and over
whelmlngly. , O'Brien referred to th <
taunts of John McMackln am

American people understood McMackin. Hi

Evictions In Ireland.
Dum IN , June 7. The evictions at Ilodyk

but the bailiffs kroke a hole In the wall. Log
and boiling water were thrown through
hole at the evicting parties. Entrance wu

tenants , who have adoptfcil the plan of can
palun , demand ( eductions of i % to 10 p <
cent and have commenced barricading thel

tenth page ot the lrl b World , of Fobruar

The publications are accompanied by ao e >

The Cotton SpiniicrH' Combination.
ICopi/rfoM ISS7 by Jamts Oartlan Il'.nnctt. ]
MA.NCIIESTKII , jutio 7. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to the BKE ! . The spinners'
association , which originated the scheme for
running on short time the spinning mills seas
as to defeat the corner In American cotton ,
met to-day to consider the replies to the cir
cular asking members of the trade to join
the movement , when the old dUHculty pre
sented itself that of securing a sufficient
combination to make the scheme successful. I
understand that a considerable proportion of
the trade have pledged themselves. The
necessary majority of two-thirds Is unse
cured. Upon the suggestion that the Whit
suntide holldiys prevented a full considera
tion of the matter , it was agreed to extend
! ho time of sending replies ono week. It Is ,
lowever , bymany regarded doubtful whether
the movement will bo sustained.
Another Chance For Stoadmnn.
LONDON , Juno 7. Since the revelations
made by the Pall Mall Garotte and the passage -
sago of the criminal law amendment bill the
public has believed the traffic in children Im
possible. A case In Lambeth police court ,
therefore , caused a universal sensation of
horror. Edward Procknell and three women
were arrested , charged with keeping houses
of ill-reputu and having procured for their
patrons scores of girls from ten to fourteen
years of ago. The prisoners and victims are
all of humble rank. The evidence so far
shows that the seducers of the girls belong to
the same class. The government will prose
cute the prisoners , all of whom were re
manded. Detective Stevens , In the employ
of the reformatory and refuge union , who
lias taken the principal part In bringing to
light these crimes , states that durlnr the past
four years ho has rescued 400 girls between
the ages of four and a half and fourteen
years trom lives of crime.

BOSTON'S BEAUTY PICTURED.
\ Photographer Arrested For Holding
the Camera tip to Nature.
NKW YOIIK , Juno 7. [ Special Telegram
o thoBr.i : . | The World's Boston special
ays : Elmer Chlckerlng , ono ot the best
tnown and most fashionable photographers
n this city , appeared In court yesterday to
answer the charge of printing and selling in
decent photographs. Chlckerlng has taken
portraits of many actresses In his studio on
tVcst street and has negatives of the photo
graphs of most of Boston's prominent society
rvomcn. Ho was arrested last Saturday on
nformatlon furnished by a young woman ,
whose name the police refuse to divulge. It
s said that many young women from Com
monwealth avenue , and the back-bay dis
trict have posed recently in various striking
attitudes. Their explanation is that as
devotees of true art there can be nothing Im
proper In exposure of natural beauty.
The photographs have boon widely
distributed and greatly admired among
the voting women's Intimate friends.
The sudden passion for such displays of
art has spread rapidly , nnd some of the pho
tographs have found their way outside of the
select circle where they wore Intended to bo
seen and admlied. It U said that some of
the private negatives have been reproduced
and conies put on sale quietly about the city.
The World correspondent was shown , a
few days ago , a dozen samples of these pho-
tocrauiis. They were many of them taken
in various poses after the famous pictures In
the French salon and In the reproduction of
Greek Ideals. Most of the pictures were so
arranged that the features of the subject
were veiled. The name ot the photographer
was not Imprinted on the cards , which are
larger than the cabinet size. Chlckerlng
says that while he does not care to say who
his customers have been or what curtail
ment of attire they may have seen fit to em
ploy In his art , the present prosecution is a
case of blackmail , lie says that ho was vis
ited by a woman who told him that she know
of his pictures , and said sl > e would make
complaint against him unless ho paid her
8'.00 hush money , This Chiekerlng refused
to do and he says his arrest was the result.
Ho Intends to make this his defense rather
than go into the question as to who hie pat
rons were and how ho took their portraits.
