DUIILI.V , Oct. l.-tXcvv York Herald Cable
Special to the Ilin.j : I send you n report
of the speech of William O'Brien last night
to the Lmrgacnrran tenants of the Marquis
of Lntisdowne. Ho was escorted from hereby
by Prof. Stuart. M. P. for a London district ,
which adjoins another represented by Sir
Charles Kussell , the lord mayor and seine
other Irish M. P.'s. Thn lirst O'Brien did
was to visit the timber lints erected for the
accommodation of the evicted tenants , just
completed. One part of the busi
ness ot the day was to Install
the future occupants , A farm was redeemed
as the site for the cottages , which are built
In a square and present n comfortable ap
pearance. Thn evicted tenants and n largo
nitmberot their sympathl/.ers attended the
meeting. They appeared to be In tlio best of
spirits nnd confident thai they would In the
end foico Liiisdowno to concede the de
mands which they make. O'Brien was re
ceived with loud and prolonged
cheering. Ho beiran : "My dear
friends of Lugsacniran , 1 am more
dellL'hted than I ean tell you'to see your
pleasant and friendly faces around me once
more and to receive that spirit-stirring ad-
dicss winch Mr. Kelly has just read to me.
The landlords' newspapers the other mornIng -
Ing were crowing nnd shrieking with do-
light. They told us that It was all up
with the. "plan of campaign" in
Jjiiggacurran. They told us that the
very moment Mr. KilUuldo was on his
Hick-bed and the moment that my hands were
tied In the Coik jail that there vvero
tiaitors and deserters showing their heads
nmong yon. The Hag ot the plan of cam-
jialL'ti has been Moating all over the country
for nearly twelve months and that flag has
never yet known defeat. Kvury tyrant who
lias Hung himself against It lias had to spend
his money llko water and has never been
nblo to extract n single slx'ponco from the
tenants' war chest , while 1 defy
them to point to a .single man that they
liavo evicted who has ever wanted
n comfortable ineal. There are not a do/en
rack renters In the whole country who have
not already stiuck tr.elr Hag and suriendereil
to the plan of campal.n. A good many even
of the doion have been showing many signs
within the past week or two of a better and
' 'A ' more reasonable frame of. mind , nnd I prcm-
Iso you that ' the remainder of them
' will como tumbling over ono another
'A \\ltti \ their Jiats In their hands foi
terms after they have had n few months
inorocxpciicnco of what the Irish people
jiiean. For my own part m > heart was never
more full of hope In the campaigns of LUK-
gacurran than It is to-day. 1 was never more
full of hope In the Irish people aye , in the
English people of whom vvo have noble iep-
rescntatlves in our midst to-day. I was
never moro coiilldent in the near
nnd Inevitable triumph of our cause.
Tlio man who lays an unholy hand
upon n farm from which these
men have been evicted wiongfully by the
bayonets of Ilalfour will bo held in contempt
nnd detestation by his fellow-men. 1 venture
to toll Lord Linsdowno heio to-day tlir.t if
lie Imagines that because the people of Lug-
gacnrran have been peacefully before that
they nro cowardly now , ho never walked into
ft Njrger pit ot folly or self-delusion. I can
teit'l'rof. Stuart here to-day that this district
Is the most peaceful nnd crimeless district
under heaven , nr.-J vour leward Is that your
patience Is put down to cowardice. You lot
the eviciion army , the crowbar brlcado , como
nnd so vlthout striking a blow. You al
lowed these villainous emcueiicy
men to carouse In your houses.
You did what vvo asked von to do , but what I
want to point out Is the ctuol and horrible
lesson that Dublin castle teaches the tenan
try of Ireland. Because jou were patient
the emergency bilgado stole Into this valley
again yesterday to do tholr dovllN vvoik
That is tlio loss-m that they teach and
It Is well for them that our leaders counsel
lutlenco. Still they want to drlvo us and
madden us Into a civil war. It Is just be
cause they won't liavo It. Tlio whole yorld
Is n witness that this estate and this whole
wintry , when Ballonr began Ills bloody
woik hcie , was as peaceful as any
spot on earth , and It will
continue so. So long as our loaders , so long
as Gladstone nnd Parnell tell us to bo pa
tient , us they do , a.id telt us that we will
have n richer reward fo" our patience , ns vvo
will have nothine that will tempt us one
Inch beyond the asssbition of our constitu
tional right of free speech and free
combination , no biutalltles will temut us one
Inch beyond that , but within these legal
I'lLMts nothing will conquer us either. Yes ,
wo are patient as n stone till wo are struck
liHientorlte. Then a dirt will fall on flintand
send them back a stream of lire. 1 suppose
you read in the paper the other day
Down gallant young liishman far away In
Canada told Lausdowno to his tooth , 'You
nro at ) rant'and wo are told that Lansdowne -
downo crow palo and that ho replied noth
ing. Yes , the cry , 'LaiiMlowue , you are a
tjrant , ' will haunt him nnd will puisno
him nil the vvldo world over
nnd will make Ins cheeks grow
palo whenever ho meets his honest brother
moil. Of th.h thine ho may icst assured nnd
for it he may thank Mr. Tovvnsoml French ,
that ho mwer again will enjoy one happy
hour. He never will recelvo ono pound ot
rent In comfort from this estate until every
hearth ttiat ho has quenched in
LugKacurran .shall bo kindled ngaln
nnd until every tenant that ho has et'lcted
ball bo reinstated , nnd until this old race of
ouis shall bo fico to dwell and to thrive and
to rule in the lend that has been watered by
the blood and the tcr.rs ot our fathers. "

The ofllclal crown note taker did not'arrive
until O'Brien had almost finished his much
Impassioned speech. Father Mayer was In
the chair and the meeting was most enthu
siastic.

to the Uii : : . | The Itowler cabinet Is looking
forward to the reassembling ot the chambers
with feelings the reverse of ncrecable. Ques
tions and interpolations threaten It from
every quarter. Its home policy w 111 bo sub
mitted to the sternest scrutiny , its foreign
policy will bo criticized , its attitude towards
the Ork-anlsts will bo savagely denounced ,
and last but not least , It wilt be
sharply questioned as to tbo .use or
misuse it has made ot tlio secret service fund
Mngnard , editor of Figaro , in an able
trtlclo has just raised the latter question In
his journal , lie says those secret service
| UUiU are chiefly squaudeied In buying tliu
support of Insignificant newspapers with
dardly any readers. Ho adds : "Newspapers
with bonn fide circulations can do without
subsidies , " and concludes by demanding the
suppression of this fund.
I had an Interesting talk on this subject
with Mr. Maynard to-niiht ; In the editorial
sanctum or tlio Flt-aro. "What are these
secret funds' . ' "
"It has been the foolish practice , " said Mr.
Maynard , "under all ministries which have
succeeded each other In recent times , to pay
away certain sums to newspapers who
speak well of them , or rather
It has been the practice of
Individual ministers. Kach department lias
some money allowed It , but the most goes to
the minority in tlio interior nnd in a vast
majority of cases to papers not worth sub
scribing for. "
"How are the funds voted on'.1'1
"With the budget. The total is about 2,000-
000 francs. "
"How long ha ? tills been going on1
"Slnco the great i evolution. Mlrabcau
was undoubtedly subsld'/ed. The system
grow under the restoiallon. Andre Clicnler
certainly had a finger In the secret fund. To
como nearer our time , after tlio Ifith of May
money was spent freely on the press. The
so-and-so journal was specially started In
this way to defeat La Petit Journal , which
becairo staunchly republican. "
"How much does each paper ( jot ? "
"Well , the payments nto usually monthly ,
and seldom exceed f ,000 francs a month. This ,
of course , Is quite Inadequito to the cost of
publishing , even when the money ically
reaches the paper , and does not stick In the
dliectors'pocket. The ministers often have
two or llnoo obscure sheets devoted to them
most of which the public hardly read. They
are Kicat organs never bought not often
with money but sometimes with decorations
nud depi.tyshlps , etc. "
"I suppose tlio lioulanglst agitation was
largely lomontcd on this plan ? "
"Doulancer had a lead of less than you
think fiom the secret fun Js. His backer Is
understood to have been the chief pioprlotor
of Maeaslns Dulouver which , you know
veiy well , is tlio man who Is to raise the sub
ject fund In the chamber of deputies. "
"Will the I'ouvier cabinet bo upset on the
question ? "
"llaidly. It may linger on till January or
Febiuary. svlien It Is expected that It will
break up. "
As I walked down the Uou Drouont revolv
ing these strange revelations in my mind ,
I ran against n trlend , vvitli
whom I returned to the subject. "My dear
sir , " said he , "all the money paid away In
piess subsidies are nothing to whit is spent
at Monaco. If you could get a peep at the
secretary's accounts at that virtuous place you
would find almost cvciy paper in Franco
down on the subsidy list. Tln
first thing n newspaper does here is to pub
lish n llttlo article attacking the Monaco
roulette tables. Directly after the cditoi 10-
ceives a cheque. In nearlv all cases , too , not
foi wrl'ing ' up Monaco , but simply for con
senting to say nothing about It.

HIS RECEPTION AT INDIANAPOLIS
A Cordial Welcome Accorded the
ChltC .Magistrate nt the Homo
ol' Ilendrlcks On to the
Great West.
AVI 111 In the Borders nf Indlnnn.
IruiiANAi'ous , Oct. 1 The day dawned
in Indianapolis In a drl/.zle , ar.d the
outlook for the reception was gloomy ,
' " luck" brought
ijut the president's "good
ilm a burst of sunshlno as the pro
cession moved. It was too late , however , to
contiibuto towards swelling the crowds , and
the number was not so great as It otherw Iso
would liavo been. Still It has been exceeded
lioro only by the crowd that greeted Blalnc.
The line of march was straight down Wash
ington street from the railroad crossing where
the president lett the cars to go to the state
liouse , wheio he was formally received and
lield a reception , Is just about a mile In
lennth. ami on either side the walks vveio
packed with people. The vlovv up
Main street was an Imposing
one. The procession moved promptly
on time , 11 o'clock. First cimo a squad of
mounted police ; behind camn a moving mass
with Hying Hags and flashing accoutrements.
Next came the governor's stall' In iror-
gcous unllorm , while behind marched
a platoon of police followed by
a band. Behind these marched the light in
fantry , making a striking display. Then the
chief marshal and stair , and Immediately
following came the presidential escort , the
Ilcndrlcics' club to the number ot two or
thrco hundred. Uniform appearance was at
tained by tall hats of gray with a black
band , black : clothes , the club badge and cane
carried by each member. The club foimcd
In a hollow square , surrounding the presi
dent's carriage and followed at cither side in
rows ot two abreast. The open carriage , al
most hidden by drapery of Hags , was
diavvn bv eight powerful horses , gaily capar
isoned , and on the back seat to the ilcht sat
the president. By his side was Mrs. Cleve
land , and opposite sat ox-Senator Mc
Donald. The progress of the carriage
was marked with occasional checis , but
chielly by bands ot music. The whole pro
cession was very compact and comparatively
muck In moving , taking but a lew moments
in passing , its entile length being nearly a
quaitci ot a mile.
Upon reaching the state house the presi
dential party , together with filly ot the most
prumlncnt Indiana otllcc holdei-i , Including
members of congios * . were conducted to the
stand erected for the occasion.
Governor Cray began bv attiring the pres
ident that tlio exhibition ot popular interest
was "A nriiillostation ol respect for you not
less than lor the magistrate. ' Whether the
people dllfeicd with the piosldeiit as to the
wisdom ol his olllcial acts , all accorded to
him honesty ot purpose and a s'ncere desire
to conserve to the public good. This visit
was at n tlmo when all Indiana's Interests
and Industiles had fairlv telt the Impetus ot
the advancement and prospeiity impailed by
MI administration ot national allalrs In a
manner piudent , pure and peaceable. In
dianapolis might piopurly be called the gate
way of the west , and to-day the gate was
thrown wldoly oyen. The governor , spsak-
ini ; , said : "It Is only to bo n-gietted that the
illustrious citi/en of our own state , wlioso
path lay near vour own In honor and ser
vice , Is not hero to join In tlio felicitations of
an occasion which be would liavo so niucli
enjoyed. To you , Mr. Piesldcnt , as the
guest ot Indiana and In behalt ot her two
and a lull million inhabitants , 1 aL'aln bid
you tin Ice welcome to the state and to the
hospitalities ot this capital. "
Piesident Cleveland began his lepiv by
saying : "When 1 received the heat ty invi
tation from the people ol Indiana and
thioiigh their eovcinor the invitation of the
people of the state of Indiana to stou on my
tiavels and see them and their capital city , 1
was not long in determining that my route
should lead mo this way. I am sincerely
glad to have the opportunity which my short
stay nlfords to seu the lair proportions , of
your thriv ing ami piosiierous town. "
A ttcr praising the progress of the city and
its flourishing condition , ho said : "I must
not omit to coneratulato the people of Indi
ana and their capital upon tlio car ? ! ; : ! ? ! ! ' '
economical admlnlstiation ot tlielr public
affairs Proof ot this now beatltllies the
city , for 1 am told that your spiclmis and
handsome state house , just completed , was
actually built within the limit ot the expense
origimlly hxcd. In these days of waste , ex
travagance and miscalculation in regard to
public building * this Is a thing so unusual
that von mav well bo proud ot It. " The
president alluded to the tact ot Indianapolis
having an o.xceedincb low tax late compared
with other cities , and then said : " 1 urn
at this moment Impressed with another
thought connected with tills nlnce. Its sug
gestion cannot fail to awaken sentiment ,
and it subjects the Interested attention ot the
nation to this spot. Here lived and died a
man , your neighboi and your trlend , whoso
nanio was a household word thionghoiit the
land , trusted and respected by his lellovv-
mon and by them Invested with the blithest
clvh % trusts , n loyal , true son of your state ,
and In his honois ho never forgot the people
of Indiana and his fellow-townsmen ot
Indianapolis , nnd while t.e loved you well ho
brought honor to you by Ids faithful dis-
chaige ot'flie functions of public olllco and
bv a him devotion and adherence to patrl-
orc principles. And wo nlll join you in
tlio respect you cherish for his memory , and
the kindly , tender thoughts of the people of
the land will always turn to your city as the
place whcro vour distinguished clir/en lived
and died and wliero rest his remains ninonir
the siitroundlngs he so much enjoyed. It Is
therefore not only cratllylivi to mo to bo
wltn you as citUens of Indianapolis , but to
be able to greet \on as the Irlends and neigh
bors of n man honoica by the nation and
connected with mo by tlio ties or friend
ship , bv the loituues ot political Ilfo and
In the discharge of public duty. "
Alter the speechmaklng and bile/ recep
tion vveio over the proiident and wife ami
Immediate party called upon Mrs. Hend-
rlcks , vvhero an elegant lunch was provided ,
very unexpectedly , which somewhat d.'layed
further march. The procession then went to
ex-Senator McDonald's home , wheio Mrs.
McDonald had prcpaied a lunch and invited
a party of sixty to sit down with the dlst n-
ituished gii"sts. After a brlet cull here the
line 01 march was taken up lor the union
depot , where they arrived shortly alter half-
past 3 and as soon as possible stalled lor
Terre Haute.
Tlio train left Indianapolis half an hour
late , but the tlmo was made up belore reach
ing Terre Haute. President and Mrs. Cleveland -
land were deliuhted with the warmth of their
rccey'lon ' nud the general appeaianco of the
town. The Sts ; % at Indianapolis piovcd a
relief to.tho tatlguo and : : : onotony Inevitable
tea thirty-hour ildo. Among : ! ; iaemos- :
toes of the visit brought away by the distin
guished iruests is a Waterbury watch , which
was picscnted by some on at the leception
at the eanltol , engraved "To Grover Cleve
land , with the regards ot a traveling sales
man. "
At ( Jreencastle , besides the crowd of citi
zens , along train of returning Grand Army
moil stood upon n stdlngand the occupants
cheered and waved their salutes.
The Stop nt Terre Haute.
Tntiu : llAim : , Oct. 1. At the Terre
Haute station a crowd of several thousand
had assembled. The president was received
by faenator Voorheos , ex-Secrotary of the
Navy Thompson nud n committee and with
his companions was driven to the Normal
school building , in front ot which a stand
had been erected. The populace seemed on
lire with enthusiasm , accompanying the car
riages on the way nnd maintaining n din of
cheers. The great square contained prob
ably 30,000 peoplo. Senator Voorheea called
tbo assemblage to order , asked for silence
nud announced lion , lllclmril Thompson ,
ex-secretary of the navy , who would
welcome to Terre llaulo the president of the
United States. Mr. Thompson , In the course
of his speech , dwelt bristly upon the bound
less resources of the Mississippi valley , to
which the president was now making his
lirst visit. Ho asked leave to anticipate that
when the president should hnve scon more
of the west he might reall70 more than ever
how much there was for all to keep the
United States in the front rank of nations
and conceive those principles for which the
tnthers fought.
The following Is the substance of the reply
of the president : "Having traveled now
through thn state of Indiana and seen some
thing of Its fertility nnd wealth and a llttlo of
Its people , it seems lilting as we leave Its bor-
dots that wo should , after the manner of
parting guests , express the pleasure which
the brief visit to your state has afforded us.
As 1 am told , too , that Terio Haute Is one of
the most beautiful cities of which Indiana
can hoist , this causes me to regret that 1 have
so llttlo opportunity now to see it. The
fact that this particular neighborhood
forms the richest portion ot very rich and
productive state Is n cause for concralulatlon
which you doubtless fully appieclate. But of
all your products pQihaps the most widely
known Is the 'Tall Sycamore of the Wabash , '
for this place hjs been pretty well adveitlsed
as the homo of that particular lofty tree.
During the last two and a half years 1 have
become somewhat acquainted with the
sycamore , and hnvo madu up my mind that
It has height and size enough for any locality
or purpose. " The urnsldent further spoke In
praise of the city nnd returned thanks for
the kind greeting.
At the conclusion of the speeches the
visitors huirled to the train and as soon as
they could bo freed from the surrounding
multitude stuted tor St. Louis.
Tliu train left Terre Haute fifty-six min
utes late. As It moved oil huiidieds of hands
were stretched upward , but the president re
fused to slmke them trom the moving train.
The Jam at the speakliis' platform had been
terrible. Colonel Lainout , Mr. Ill sell , Dr.
Bryant and the two journalists had been
Imprisoned on the stand alter the speechmaking -
making was ovei' and for ten iniiniliM
or more were nimble to move a limb. On the
way to the station n middle-aired enthusiast
grasped the rear ot the president's cnirlago
and resisted all endeavors to make him let
go. Two or three of the mounted escort tried
to ride him down , blithe cursed them s\v-
agoly and lefused to budge. Finally
Mis. Cleveland turned to him and
said , "Please let go , " and the fellow
dropped and slnuk away in the darkness.
The throne , though turbulent and wildly
demonstrative , was harmless and good
natuied. During thn absence of the ex
cursionists fiom the train considerable dltll-
eulty was experienced by the railroad people
In piotectliiK it from a mob of
vandals who remalmd at the station.
Ono man was caimht trying to
chip of a piece ot the piesideutV cai with a
big carving knlfo as a momento. Tlieie
were bonhros. torch and Chinese lantoins
displays and brass baud serenades at nearly
all tlio stations between Terre Haute
and St. Louis. It was not intended
that any stops should be made , but
the locomotive seemed to need water or
oil ntvciy short Intervals and whenever a
stop was niado a multitude gathered. At
Klltiigham , III. , a platlorm gave wav and
thirty or forty people disappeared. Their
fall was not morn than two or three feet and
so far as was Icaiucd no one was hurt.
The Arrival-Jit St. Iiouis.
ST. Lot is , Oct 1. The president
arrived at Kast St. Lonls at
11:45 : p. in. nnd alighted at the eastern
abutment of the bridge , wiiere
ho was met Dythe citl/ens'committee. Mayor
Frances accompanied the piesldent and
vvito and with a guard of twenty police the
party started across the bridge. 1'helr ap
pearance on the brid was the digital for a
burst of cheers and n glare of
fireworks. The vvall $ . of the bridge were
crowded with people , pi.i. Vlo'ved the car
riages on n run. A Banner was stretched
across the bridge at tlwMIssourl line glvlnp ,
"Welcome to Misfurl. " At the en
trance to the city Tn dense mass of
people obstructed ( the road , but a
charco ot mounted } < l > ollcG cleared them
awayand thecheeis swelled Into an ovation
as the party pissed th agates at the westcin
cud of the budge. 1 ! o beauty of the city ,
resplendent In a p < rtpt night , illuminated
by a myiiad of llzlits of all colorswas opened
to view like an Oriental festival. Be
fore the president , blared n trans-
pal euev of himself nnd on the streets

WASHI.NGION , Oct ) ; 1. [ Special Telegram
to the linn. ] The ( lOtinnns of \ \ ashington ,
who are conversant vvith the facts , are very
much disgusted over the announcement that
Mr. Partello , of this city , Is to bo consul at
Stuttgart , Germany. Just after the election
In Ibb4 Cleveland promised this olllco to
Henry W. Xelgel. of Buffalo , Xeigel Is a
German and a very valuable filend ol Cleve
land's. Somehow a K- . Kimball , of Chicago ,
was appointed. The president explained to
his old iiiend that It was a mistake of Bay
ard's which ho logrolled. He would glvo
Xclgel another place Instead. Xeigel named
Mannheim , but Another Buffalo man had
that olllco and the president did not llko to
disturb him. A lew weeks alter the consul
at .Mannheim leslgncd , and the president ap
pointed not Xelgal but n > oung Irish-
Amencaii named MoynUan , of Kliodo Island.
Now , Ki'iihall , who Isfheie on leave , has ro-
sltincd , and It Is aunpunced from the state
department that the present consul to Dus-
seldoif. Mr. Paitello , Jit this city , Is to bo
promoted to the Stuttgart consulate. This Is
s lid to bo only ono oftho [ many Instances of
the bad faUh ot the 'president towards the
Germans.
