An Eviction Which Didn't Evict.

COIIK , August 24. | New York Herald's
Cable-Special to the Bnu.l An eviction
failed yesterday on an estate In South Cork ,
belonging to Sir George SI. John Colthurst ,
sixth baronet , whoso principal seat is m's- '
named Castle Blarney. A tenant named
Timothy O'Loary owed about S700 arrear
age * of rent anl : costs. The baronet's agent
offered to accept 5100 in full satisfaction ,
O'Leary to surrender possession. Ho re
fused , and eviction ensued. Tnero was a
crowd of : W persons , headed by the secre
tary of the local branch of the National
League and a band. aTho sheriff's bailiffs
were protected by twenty policemen In
charge of. the district Inspector. When
the party arrived , at 7 o'clock this morn
ing , they found the house barricaded and
a number of men Inside prepared to olfer
every resistance. Over the front door was
suspended an American hay rake which , by
means of ropes attached , the defenders of the
house wore able to drop upon the heads of
the bailiffs. Seeing the difficulty of forcing
the door , some ot the ballllfs got upon thereof
roof , but no sooner had they made an openIng -
Ing than they were attacked by those within ,
who shot out long poles at them and one ot
them narrowly escaped being hurled to the
ground. After flvo hours' work the bailiffs
forced an entrance to the ground floor , but
having got thus far were assaulted with
stones and other missiles and assaulted with
mops dipped In bolllnc tar. Matters became
BO serious that the police Inspector ordered
Ills men to load and fire. The latter part of
the order , however , was not carried out.
After seven hours of fruitless elTort the evic
tion was abandoned.
In the yard of the premises there Is an open
well fifty feet deep. This was covered over
with light limbs and rushes and had any of
the sheriff's assistants or the policemen fal
len Into the trap laid for them they would , in
all probability , have been killed. There
were no arrests and the National .Leaguers
present shouted triumphantly as the sheriff
abandoned his efforts to enforce the decree
of the court. The baronet's coat of arms has
throa galloping horses on It ana the suggest
ive motto Is. "Just nnd Tenacious. " Whether
he and his ald-do-cauip , the viceroy , realize
the first part clearly , the tenants proved the
last part.

Cable Special to the But : . ] Fresh riots of a
more serious nature than yesterday occurred
liero to-day. After the departure of the
British vessel. Berwick , two other small
English fishing boats , which had just ar
rived , wore boarded by Belgian fishermen
who forced their way to the vessels despite
the opposition of the local authorities. The
troops of the civic guard tired three times
with blank cartridges. Finding that no
notice was taken ot this , they were com
pelled to lire ° on the boarders with shot ,
wounding several men. All the 'quays and
approaches to the harbor are occupied In
force by the troops. Tramway traffic was
temporarily Interrupted. The natives are
greatly excited , threatening to lynch the
English ship owners. Local agitators are
doing their utmost to Increase the disturb
ance. The two fishermen who were wounded
yesterday , have since died.

Cable Special to the BKE. | The whole In
terest of Paris , at present , is absorbed by
Pranzlnl. Night after night the Place do la
Rouquetto Is crowded by thousands of howlIng -
Ing , blaspheming vagabonds , mingled with
whom are numbers of well-drcased and rela

execution of the Rue Montaigne murderer.
Thu execution mar take place at any mo
ment unless Pranzlnl manages to delay it
by making the promised revelations. Many
people , notably Maltro de Mange , his de
fender , still believes firmly that Pranzml Is
Innocent of the crime. Their theory is that
be Is only an accomplice , while the chief
criminal is walking about unmolested.
M. Fondvlllar , formerly of Le Temps , has
to-night communicated extraordinary state
ments to the Herald. Fondvlllar has just had
an interview with Mile. Sabatler.
Maltre do Mange , and another well
known member of the Paris bar. The latter
assets a conviction that the mysterious dark
man seen In Pranzlul's company , the day af
ter the crime , nnd who was Its real author , is
living in Paris near the Odeon , and was
formerly his client , and known to the police
as a dissipated character and an adventurer.
Ou making further Inquires I am assured
ho man In question is a little
Austrian Jew of a dried up
tirook appearance , with black eyes , very
arched eyebrows and a name not unlike

Cable-Special to the BKK. ] E. DwyerGraj
M. P. , and editor of the Freeman's Journal
to-day contributes , editorially , a rernarkabl
comparison between the lives ot Grattan am
Parnell. There are striking coincidences o
dates and facts. Grattan was born In 1740
C. S. Parnell exactly a century later. Grat
tan entered the Irish parliament In 1773 ; Pat
cell took bis seat In the house ot commons I :
1875. In 177U was established that bed ;
which , led oy Grattan , enabled his countr
to achieve legislative Independence , while I
1ST ! ) was founded the organization of whlcl
C. S. Purnell Is leader and which bid
* fair to enable him also to ri
rain legislative Independence. Th
freedom of Dublin was presented to Gratta
and ox'Sfily a century later the same compl !
ment was conferred on Parnell. Both wer
Frotoitanta. Grattan attached himself t
Fox who lUlted Ireland in 177S ; Parnell , I
Gladstone who visited Ireland In Ib7
poldeu trlbiloroin \ a grateful people we
presented to both. Grattan bought an estate
In Queen county , the stronghold of the Par-
nclls , but chose his home In county Wick-
low , whither Charles Stewart Parnell's grand
father had Immigrated and also fixed his
residence , Grattan at Flnnlhlnch , Parncll at
Avondalc. In 1780 Grattan's declaration ot
Irish rights was fiercely attacked by the
government , and so also was Parnell's pro
gramme In 1880 by means of state
prosecutions. Both were Intended
for the bar In youth , but neither had a taste
for the profession , A base effort was made
to Implicate Grattan In treasonable plots In
his time nnd It failed. The same remark ap
plies to Parncll.
The vlrbatlm report In the Journal of the
monster meeting tills twelve closely printed
columns , nnd thn presses were still going
to-day to supply the extra demand from all
parts of Ireland and many In the kingdom ,
William O'Brien was this afternoon served
with a summons to appear nt the Mitchell-
town county couit session September 19 to
answer a complaint for obstructing the
sheriff. Ho took the matter with cooless.
The day Is well put off , It will bo seen.
The Kncllsh Prom nnd Manitoba.
[ fiipi/Hi/M / 1831 hy Jama Gmilon nemittc.l
LONDON , August 24. ( New York Herald
Cable Special to the BKE. I Great press at
tention Is given here to the Manitoba railway
conflict , with divergent opinions. The Times
considers the controversy over the proposed
Red River railway "not only serious In It
self , but.lt opens up international questions
of the gravest character. The proceedings of
the Manitoba ! ! people , so fur as they have
Identified themselves with the promoters of
the line , are to bo condemned on the score
of lawlessness , whatever may be the
merits of the controversy. Further ,
the scheme brings into view the
whole subject of the further relations
between the United States and Canada and
bears closely upon the question of the com
mercial reciprocity with America. The posi
tion altogether seems to be one on which the
heedless haste of a few persons must precipi
tate a solution , or at least a consideration
with a vlow to the solution , of a very ex
tensive question , In which the whole future of
the dominion Is bound up. It la much to bo
hoped that a solution will bo arrived at with
out the employment of military force. "
The St James Gazette , referring to the
trouble , savs : "This means that Canada Is
at thn beginning of a long constitutional
struggle , which may easily resolve Itself Into
something oven more serious. Not
only Is the Maultoban legislature In direct
conflict with the federal government but
Manitoba ! ! Interests are In direct conflict
with federal Interests. Abont as serious a
state of things economically and politically
as can bo Immagined to make Canada rather
an outlying province of the United Stutos Is
the public policy which Inspired the con
struction ot the Canadian Pacific railroad ,
and which now directs the action ot the Ca
nadian government We may hope that con
siderations of loyalty and public policy will
weigh with the Maultobiaus before they force
matters to an extreme not far removed from
civil war , "
The radical Pall Mall Gazette during n
long and fiery leader , and as 1 found to-aay
two members of parliament are in ac
cord with It , Important quotations may be
interesting , avers : "The nonsonce about
holding Manitoba with a British force in
order to prevent the Manltoblana from maltIng -
Ing a railway to the United States frontiers
should be stopped at once. The Idea Is pre
posterous to send our red coats into the
heart of the American continent to forbid the
population ot a great province from finding
a natural outlet for their produce. The
notion is worthy of Bedlam. It
would not be intertalned for a single
moment by any British minister
past or present , save , perhaps , by Lord
North nnd his colleagues. If It were not
that the dominion government seems to
have the letter of the law on Its side the
Manltobans are constitutionally lu the
wrong but It Is Impossible to sever the con
sideration ot the constitutional question
thus raised , apart from the merits of the
question which raised It. That seems to boone
ono in which It Is simply impossible for any
British minister to doubt the Impossibility
of our taking sides with the dominion
against a province , Does Sir John Macdonald -
ald propose to rebuild a Chinese wall
along the 49th parallel ? It Is to carry out a
policy of that kind that we are now asked to
send British soldiers to hold down a muti
nous province. It Is always a mistake when
auy government attempts to compel a prov
ince to sacrifice Its material Interests for thu
sake of the convenience , military , diplo
matic , political or commercial , of other pee
ple. The attempt to artificially Isolate Mani
toba from free Intercourse with the States
which Is enjoyed by other provinces In the
dominion either by land or sea , Is so evident
an Interference with the natural order of
things that it is foiedoomed to failure. "
An Irish member will soon ask questions
about the matter , and doubtless a lively debate -
bate will follow. "It la the beginning , per
haps , of-a new revolutionary colonial war ,
with a new Texas or northern frontier seek
ing annexation , " said lie , and turned awaj
at hearing the division bell ring , upon the
scotch crofier's question In the supply bill.

Cable Special to the BKK. ! I have seen

Is entitled " 1 Ami MacDonald , " and dovotei !

sketchy and superficial like Its predecessor
"John Bull and His Island , " and hardly les :
amusing. Most of the author's knowledge I :
evidently gathered from books , but there an
many personal , piquant observations In tin
volume which are sure to find great favor It

common English opinion tlmt It takes i
surgical operation to knock a jolto Into i
Scotchman's head. On the contrary ho protest
"Of all citizens of the moro or less Unltei
Kingdom they are the most subtile , serious
matter of fact , perse ye rill ; ami witty. " Hi
contrasts their Intellectual humor v.'Uh til
vulgar triviality ot the couknuys who are si
fond of chaffing. He regards it as an Impoj

mark that the journey from London to

plied : "Long , 1 should hope so ; the journe.

PAUIS , August 21 fNew York Herald
Cable Special to the UKK I The Bulgarian
question has reached another Interesting
chase since Prince Ferdinand started on his
journey. Each stage ot the Coburg's progress
through the principality is a fresh blow to
that edifice , the Boilln treaty , and Europe
waits wondering what will be the eud of
bis adventure. The Journal des Debuts ,
discussing thu subject jn an able article , says
the diplomats and press of Europe are dead
against the Coburir. The official organs at
Berlin , Vienna and St. Petersburg vigor
ously attack him. Even the English , old
friends of. Bulgaria , do likewise.
' There Is no doubt as to the Illegality of
his conduct , " says the Debats. "If the mat
ter Is regarded from a theoretic point ot view-
never was there a question of international
law more simple. Ho took possession with
out the previous sanction ot the pnrto and
powers ; he was elected bv the grand so-
branjo convoked irregularly ; ho was elected
by an assembly Including deputies of East
ern Kouuielia. Ho has violated the treaty of
Berlin , violated also the arrangement made
betwecp Bulgaria and the porte last year ,
with the consent of the powers , by which
the prince of Bulgaria becomes a moro gov- .
eruor general of Eastern Rouuielia. In short ,
turu which way you will , his position Is
false. Irregular , and contrary to the conven
tions , rea ; but how Is an end to bo put to
tills state of things ? Wo are not dealing with
theories. As a matter of fact , unless there
is some new Int rnSl Bulgarian revolution ,
or a voluntary abdication , wli'ich Is always
possible , nptlilng will bo done against the
new prince If Turkey or Russia does not take
the Initiative. Turkey's temperament of
prudence will make her unwilling to move.
She has shown this plainly within the past
two years. From September 18 , 1685 , to
August 21,1SS7 , not a day has passed with
out Bulgaria giving her a hundred good
reasons ior crossing the frontier of Eastern
Roumolla and for laying hana again on
Phtllppopolls. SSe has preferred not to take
advantage of tlieso good reasons and we
thiiiKshedld wisely. Even If the powers
unanimously wished her to occupy Eastern
Roumella she would hesitate to take the
risk , but it is certain the powora are not
unanimous another motive for not acting
hastily. But Russia , at a pinch , might
do without the authorization of Europe.
What Is moro'judging from the utterances
of the official organ at Berlin , certain powers
would rather like to sep her make the Bul
garian plunge. Yet , had she wished to in
tervene , sfio would have done so long ago.
After all , the Installation of Prince Ferdin
and of Coburg Is not a moro direct violent
defiance to her than the revolution of the 18th
of September , or the installation of the re
cency , or the convocation of the sobranje.
In the face of all these attacks on the Inter
national agreement and special rights to
wnlch her services to Bulgaria entitle her ,
she lias preserved the same attitude that of
a great state whicjj counts on the future nnd
bides Its time. While the Russians maintain
this attitude European diplomacy will con-
tlnuotogive us a singular spectacle of its
unanimity in proclaiming that the treaty of
Berlin has been violated and Its impatience
to make it respected. "

The committee on resolutions reported at
6:30 : o'clock the following platform of prin
ciples :
THE PLATFORM.
1. The republicans of Iowa accept as settled
the old Issues and conclusive results of the
war and hall with patriotic satisfaction all
silicon ) evidences of returning fraternity and
reunion. The gew issues , raised In the south
since the war. against the right of every free
man to cast his vote unmolested and have It
honestly counted , and a.-alnst the right ot
majority rule In the state and nation , are yet
to bw settled.
2.Ve \ deny that suffrage Is purely a local
question for each state to regulate In whole
or suppress in part , as it chooses. The sup
pression of the votes of the black
men in the south Is not only a wront to
thorn ; It is also in a national sense , In the
election of congress and In state elections , a
bold andsuccessful method to make one vote
in the south count for as much as two In the
north , therefore a wrong which roaches Into
every neighborhood and to every voter In the
union. It Is also used to degrade the negroes
of the south Into a servile form of cheap
labor , with which free labor everywhere
must noon be brought Into competition.
3. Wo continue to favor a protective tariff
for the upbuilding of American Industries
and the development of all our resources as
a nation. We also favor It for the pi election
of American labor , and In such a degree at
will maintain to such labor the advantage ot
difference between wages of the workingmen -
men of Europe and America. We believe
the tariff should be revised and reduced
wherever' this policy will allow and public
Interest approve. The strictest honesty
economy and retrenchment should be re
quired and followed in the expenditure of
all public money , and wo declare for all possible -
siblo and practicable reduction of taxation ,
both national and stata. Wo favor a revision
of the revenue laws of thtt state to the end
that taxation may be equitable on all kind !
of property.
4. We are opposed tocrimlnal and vlcloii !
immigration of all kind * , to threaten the pub
lie welfare and disturblhe social pe.ice . , and
to all pauper inuaieratlon and convict 01
coolie labor , or to the contract of prison laboi
bv the state to bring linfair competition t (
American workinginon. We favor such leg
blatlon in the state as will protect the miner ;
and all other laborer * In their full rights a'
to compensation , protection ot life , hours oi
lobor and freedom of trade. All public li.ndi
should be hold and all unearned landi
granted reclaimed for actual settlers. Non
resident aliens should not bo allowed to ac
quire title to lands in tills country.
5. The civil service.law , enacted by the re
publican party and now so flagrantly dis
obeyed ml violated by the democratic ad
ministration , ste'.ild bo maintained , and ini
proved In all ways to" insnra its enforcemon
and increase Its elllclency. The solo test o
an Incumbent of otlice or an applicant for
place In the detail service of the government
should be honesty , competency and fidelity
with the single exception that , when al
other qualifications are equal , the unloi
soldier shall have preference.
6. Wo are unable to irlve the commends
tlon of good citizens to the administration o
( irover Cleveland In Us dlscrlmlnattoi
against and Its ihameful abuse of unloi
soldiers and the constant preference It ha
shown to ' .hose who fought to destroy tti
union : In Its despotic use of th
executive power to veto bills passed by con
cress for the relief of the union soldiers , an
the Des Moines river settlers ; In Its nttcmi :
to reverse the verdict of the war by a surreri
derot the rebel battle Hats ; In Its failure t
reduce the surplus or decreas
taxation ; ami for its broken ninii
isvs to the people , and .liu'tllclt'nt dlsclmrg
of public services , wo .nro Compelled to di
nounco It as being nnpratrlotlc , unworthy , a
disappointment to the country , and a frt'.th
proof ot the Incapacity ot the democratic
party to conduct successfully the affairs ot
the nation.
7 , The theory ot public regulation and
control of railways and other corporations ,
first enacted Into law In this state , and by
the state carried up to the approval of the
supreme court of the United States , wo
maintain with increasing favor. We approve
the Koncral principles nt the Inter-state com
merce law and favor such amendments tlierotd
as will make It still moro protective ot the
people and such state lu < lsUtlon as will ap
ply Its principles to this state. Wo ask
that the next leglslatuto shall , after a thor
ough nnd utispailug Investigation , so revise
and amend the lawi form in it the railroad
code of the state as will secure to the people
all leKHImalo protection from corporation
monopoly and extortion as will Increase the
efficiency and usefulness , of the commission ,
Mill as will secure all lair and possible re
duction in freight and faros , believing that
the lirst-clasa roads ot the state can afford to
reduce passenger faros to two cents n mile.
Wo nro opposed to all unjust discrimination
between persons and places- and also to any
railroad leglblatlon which will tend to Injure
our agricultural , Industrial or commercial In
terests , or that will aid In building up out-
Hide cities and Interests at the expense of the
cities and towns ot our own state. We are
also opposed to the granting of any form ot
exclusive rights by which any corporation or
Individuals will bn protected from legitimate
and honorable comnetlon and established as
a monopoly regardless of public interest.
f. This government , saved from destruc
tion by reason of the patriotism and valor of
union soldier.- ' , cannot afford , in justice and
honor , to deal less than justly with them. It
should cordially and promptly bestow , as an
obligation of the government and not
as charity , liberal pensions to all
disabled or dependent soldiers and
to dependent widows and parents of
soldiers , thus preventing any suffering nnd
want from coining to tuose to whom the
nation owes a debt it can never repay *
0. Iowa has no compromise to hold with
the saloon. We declare In favor ot the faith
ful and vigorous enforcement In all parts of
the state of the prohibitory law. The phar
macy law and county permit law should bo
so amended as to prevent the drug store or
wholesale liquor law trom becoming In any
manner a substitute or successor ot the sa
loon.
10. Wo express our sympathy with the people
ple struggling for liberty and home rule ,
whether U be the Irish people led by Glad
stone and Patnell seeking to escape from
long time oppression , or the people of Da
kota or other territories in this country de
prived of home ruin by the partisan Injustice
of the democratic party.
11. Wo approve of the state administration
ot public atlalrs In Iowa and especially com
mend Governor Larrabco for his courageous
defense of thu people fioin the extortion of
railway monopolies and for his protest in
behalf of Iowa aealnst Cleveland's attempted
sunender ot the rebel battle llag.s.
Mr. George D. Perkins , of Sioux City , read
the platform , and when he reached the pro
hibitory plank , ho was loudly cheered at
every pause. The platform was adopted as a
whole without dissent. The convention ad
journed about 7 o'clock.
The striking features of the day were the
enthusiasm and unanimity In favor of Sen
ator Allison. He was cheered every time his
name was mentioned with a heartiness of
complete accord that left no doubt of thu en
thusiastic desire ot the state to present his
name tor the presidency at the proper time.
Hut tor his own advice and the active efforts
of his nearest frleiuU In support of it that all
personal ambitions should wait on party In
terest and that the party should watt till next
year and get the latest judgment ot the people
ple , the convention would nave declared for
him. Congressman Henderson , his towns
man and next friend , who was permanent
chairman , while eulogizing Allison and being
cheered at every word , urged these views
upon the convention and advised them to be
governed by them , and this advice was ac
cepted. .
Maryland itopubllcani.
UALTIMOUI : , August 24. The republican
state convention to nominate candidates for
governor , comptroller and attorney general
met here at noon to-day. Temporary organi
zation was effected and committees ap
pointed , after which a recess was taken to at-
ford them time to report The platform de
mands a radical reform of the civil service ;
that the tenure of office bo made secure dur
ing good behavior and that the power of
removal tor cause shall- accompany the
power of appointment ; declares that
the action ol the president regarding fed
eral appointments is conclusive evidence
tnat his professions ot civil service reform
are hollow and delusive ; that his failure to
call federal olllceholdcrs to account tor disre
gard of his own Instructions tlmt they should
not engage In actions to control the political
actions ot their own party Is a confession ot
insincerity on his own part , or proof that his
will Is controlled by the stronger will of the
senior senator from Maryland ; that congress
should pass the lilalr educational bill or
some equivalent ; favors some measure for
adjusting the differences between Capital
and labor : for the passage of a law
protecting American labor ; tor a stringent
law agaln t the use ot money at elections.
The balance of the platform deals with local
questions. The following nominations were
made : For governor , W. B. Brooks ; comp
troller. R. B. Dlxon ; attorney general ,
Francis Miller. After the nominations were
made J. K. Cowan , a prominent leader of the
reform movement of the democratic party ,
was Introduced , and In a strong speech
pledged the republican ticket the full sup
port ot the Independent democrats.

the Tea Mon.
NEW YOIIK , August 24. [ Spoclal Tele-
Brain to the UKB.J The Times says : "Tho
crockery dealers propose to nuke It hot for
the tva men who persist in Riving away or
selling crockery below cost. A meeting at
the Cosmopolitan hotel was attended yester
day by fourteen crockery dealers representIng -
Ing New York and Brooklyn. Adolph
Moyorsbcrg , the temporary chairman , said
that ho had been urged by nuny of the
dealers to call the mcmburs qf the trade
together and dcvlso moans for protection
asalnst the encroachments of the tea men ,
who are taking the business awav from
legitimate dealers. When this tea business
began ten years ago , he said , the crockery
dealers mot to find out what kind of a thing
it was. Ofllcers weio elected , the dealers
met three or four times and
then atundonod their organization.
Since then the ten dealers had
built up an enormous trade , which was ruin
ing the legitimate crockery business. Many
legitimate dealers had been driven out of Ft
and the rust hung like drowning men to
straws , hoping for a reaction. The grocers'
union succeeded In getting a baking powdur
company to take a determined stand against
the tea dealers. The latter had carried on
an Illegitimate business , violating the penal
code , and some of them had been arrested
and were under ball. The court of appeals
would sustain the constitutionality of the
law , and If the crockery men did not take a
stand they had bettor go out of the business.
Tim meeting adjourned subject to thu call of
the chairman. "
