The direct evidence , such as linding the re

his companions , point conclusively to the
fact that ho Is the guilty one.
Excitement runs high In the Bohemian set
tlement south of here , as also In Friend ,
whcro the murdered men were held In high

be made to revenge the crime In border style.

vice. The Irish would trust the masses across
the water who trusted thorn. Ireland Is the
mostcrimeless country in Europe. Its crim
inal calendar Is an almost absolute blank ,
but they have 40.000 soldiers and police to
hold the little island down. What was their
convention that they could not manage
to govern the couple of million of
unarmed and crlmoless people with
out gagging their parliament , without
paralyzing the business of their whole em

HawKeye republicans off with a splendid

ono less than a thousand delegates and nearly
nil ot them are In the city. In fact , for the
past twenty-four hours the hotels have been
busy with the hum of anxious politicians ,
and all day the trains have been filled with
delegates. The convention will bo called to
order at 10 o'clock and wlltMjo presided over
temporarily by lion ) John Brennan. the fa
mous Irish orator of Slonx City. When he
has put the machinery In motion by a rous
ing speech , It Is expected that Senator Alli
son will bo called to preside over the deliber
ations. Some less prominent man may bo
selected because It la urged by some of the
party that a resolution will bo Intiodueed Into
the convention endorsing Iowa's favorite
senator as a presidential candidate. Con
servative and prudent politicians of the
p-irty deprecate this plan and urge that
It would handicap Allison by making him
the target for the friends of Sherman and
Blaine. There Is no doubt of the wonderul !
popularity of Senator Allison and ho will bo
a great figure In this convention. Governor
Larraboo will be renomlnatod by acclama
tion and Lieutenant .Governor Hull will got
a place on the ticket again , though not unan
imously. For supreme judge there is a
lively conteU , the candidates Delnij Adams ,
Koblnson , Lewis , Uuddy and Miracle , In
strength about as named. Chief Justice
Adams Is of Dnbuqne and has a record which
merits a second nomination , and ho will lead
to start with. Senator Koblnson Is a young
man , popular and promising , while the oth
ers are on the district court bench In the
northern part of the stain. Henry Sabln , of
Clinton , promises to lead for superintendent ,
the other candidates being Grumblinir , Frost ,
Fuller , Wernll and Gurnor. The contest Is
being waged fiercely. The platform makers
are figuring tor short resolutions , but there Is
much doubt hinging over this part of the
work.

An Interrupted Mill.
The sporting population of South Omaha
to the number of two or three hundred gath
ered last night In Dug Johnson's ancient re
sort , to wltnesj a programme of soft glove
exhibitions , which had been liberally adver
tised to occur at that tlmo.
The evening opened with a polite encoun
ter between Prof. Cranston and Dan Hart ,
who put in four rounds of light tapping , In
\\hlch 1'iof. Cranston was given cicdltfor
the better show of science.
Just to show in a friendly fashion that ho
differed from the judgment , Hart put up a
825 forfeit to meet Cranston to a linlsh two
weeks hence with skin cloves , which was
promptly covered amid great applause.
Thu second event was to bo the feature of
the evening. Alex Edwards and Jake Shay
were to meet for olglit rounds for points
/Itli four-ounce cloves , for 8 > 0. Both men
retched up evenly and gave promise of a
retty fair match. Hart appeared as Ed
wards' second , Mtko lUclioy , who once
Istinguished himself In a minute
lid a half round before Jack Burke ,
Yielding the sponge and towel for Shay.
When tlmo was called both men jumped
ute the middle of the ring and put in the
rst round wasting their breath with BOIUO
eavy but ineffective hitting.
What happened In the second round Is a
natter of debate. Some say that Edwards
Jckcd Shay while others say that Shay took
n gouging. At nil events the men clinched ,
iroko away and clinched again and the ex
ilement was at Its holirlit when Klchoy suit-
lenly made a swipe at Hart and an instant

10 had an Interview \Uth Sir John Mac <
donald regarding his dliallownnco of th
ted Hirer railway chirter In Manitoba. Sit
lohn said ho was determined that the dls
allowance ot the charter shall take effect.
" 1 am bound to see , " ho said , "that th
supremacy of the federal authority Is main-
allied. It Is tlmo that the provinces shoulci
> o taught that when licrnmjestj's represents * '
, lve , with the consent of her advisors , neo <
it to disallow a measure which Is detogatory
0 the interestsof the dominion and empire
they must submit gracefully. "
Mayor Walsh said : "I'lio people of Manl
.oln wish to build the Red lllver road wlttt
heir own money , and are determined not to
jo prevented trom so doing. 1 am sure the
volunteers of Ontario will not take up anna
against their brotheis In Manitoba. "
I am deteimlned , " said Sir John , "that
the construction of that road shall be stopped
and , if necessary , by British regulars. Ou
my suggestion thodmpcrial government has
decided to establish a carrison at Winnipeg
and troops will bo sent there shoitly. Tim
Idea has been mot with tavor bv the British
government. They se that Winnipeg Is an
Important strategic point , and that In the
event of war troops can bo kept there cheaply
and be transported to India or clsowhcra
with dispatch. Thcli presence hero will alsa
niHko the unruly provinces submit to federal
authority. "
Mayor Walsh replied : "Our people will
resist wltli an aimed force , and If a collision
occurs , rebellion will follow. "
" 1 cannot help that , " said Sir John ; "wo
must see that the federal authority Is main
tained over the piovlucial authority , and It
rebellion is the result , It Mill not hu my fault.
It will bn the fault ot the Manltoblans. 1 am
determined to stop the construction of the
Hed Kivui valley railroad if It has to bo tlono
at the point of the btvouct. "
John Nouiuay , premier of Manitoba , armed -

"What do you think of Sir John's tlueat ta
stop the construction of the H-d Kivor VnN
luy railway with Biltlsh troops ? " asked you <
correspondent.
"Ho can do It only at the iieill of lebolllon,1
and that ho dare not risk. The road must ba
built and Sir John cannot stop It. .Manitoba
Is determined to have a line to the U nl toil
Stales boundary , Independent of thu Cana
