The sources of the statement might bo tainted , yet represented undoubt edly the fact that the Irish-Americans were ready to use every effort to prevent n settlement. There never has bcon n time in the last thirty years when thu Irish in America has not been willing to URO the privileges conceded them by their ailniited country in order to ROW dlscnslon and pro mote Ill-fooling between Great HrlUm and America. He was encouraged , hoxvuver , by tlio belief that n vast majority of native Americans and every Englishman anil Scotchman in the United Kingdom would re gard conflict between tlicso two countries as a crime of llio deepest dye.

Ho had said if the people of Canada desire an arrangement of that kind he did not doubt they would bo ublo to secure it. Ho did not think anyone ono in Engjand would attempt to pre vent such nn arrangement by. force , but ho had-remarked that In that case all the advantages of the slender tlo which still bound Canada to England would dtsa | > - ncar as far as England was concerned , and it was not likely the people of Great Britain would continue much longer to sustain the obligations and responsibilities of relation ship , all the reciprocal benefits of which had been withdrawan.

( ( GAKUETT'S CONDITION. Dr. Barnard ayn tlie lloportu Have liccn Greatly Exaggerated. ST. PAUL , Oct. 35. Dr. Barnard , who was Mr. Garrott's confidential assistant in the Baltimore & Ohio , and who has charge of the details of the premmt trip , said to au Associated Press reporter to-night that Mr. Mr. Garrctt for a number of yearn has been very desirous of visiting the Pacific coast nnd Mexico. The rcccut severance of his executive relations with the Baltimore & Ohio now enables hitii to carry out this long entertained project without joo'rmrdizing any imiwrtant corirorate or private interest , mid this is all there Is in the many sensational stories that have been published of lato. Mr. Garrctt and party will leisurely visit all imints of interest between hero and the Pa- cillo coast , spend considerable time on the coast and then visit 'Mexico. In re ply to un Inquiry as to Mr. Garrett's mental condition , Dr. Barnard said , in substance , that for uioro than t\yp years past Mr. Garrctt has recklessly abused him self by mental-overwork , whllo neglecting physical exercise. Inheriting from Ins father the characteristic of largo blood vessels in the head , in moments of undue mental excitement as a result of prolonged , mental application , there is inevi tably au uuduo running of blood to the head , which has long been a subject of grave con cern to the family. They have felt it necessary of late to closely ob- Bcrvo his movements , and keep him from great excitement. A portion of the press has been very incon- sidurate in persistently misinterpreting these precautions , the facts beiii thitmi1. . G P- rctt's imd frl have bcon family nns only so licitous to protect him from an attack of congestion of the brain or bruin fever , of which ho has been in Imminent peril for some time. IS TRAIN COMING ? A DlHpntch' Which Would Indicate That Mo Is Not. George Francis Train was expected to ar rive in Omaha this morning' from Kansas City , where 'ho has been lecturing for the past three days to crowded houses. Yester day the BEE received telegraphic assurances from the eccentric lecturer , in his own pecu liar style , that ho was to take a Turkish bath hero to-day and invited the reporters to meet him. But it would seem that Mr- Train is going to disappoint all who have boon exacting to see and hoar him. At least that is thu way the BEE trans lates the following dispatch which was re ceived at an early hour this morning : KANSAS CITV , Mo. , Oct.25. Bun , Omaha. Kansas City captured.

The docket is very light , containiug a small num ber of cases , nnd noiio of , special interest , C-esn7ii7i1on of Coffee. Good Cheer:1 : Tho'Hollnndors nro the greatest coffee drinkers in the world , heir nnnunl consumption being nbout lightoon pounds per head of the whole x > pulation. Amsterdam has long been mo of the great coffee marts of the vorld , and , being admitted frco of luty , colteo is very cheap. Next comes Belgium and Denmark , in which the sonsumption per capita is about half of , hat ol Holland. Next comes the United States , in which the consumption per capita in 1880 was eight and oight- , onths pounds. The present consump- ion ol colteo in the United States maybe bo stated nt u little over ono pound ; > er week for each family in the nn- , ion. In the use of tea aiid coffee the people of England and the United Slates present a most remarkable contrast. The annual consumption of the people of England is just about tv pound of cof fee per head , or about ono-olghth of that of the people of the United States. Comparing the consumption of tea with ; hat of coffee , it will oo found that , ivhilo the people ot the United States iso about live pounds of coffee to ono of , ca , the people of England uj > e live HHinds of tea to one of coffee. There are fashions in coffee , as in ilmofit everything. At Aden and Alox- uulria the Mocha coffee is carefully picked over nnd assorted , in compliance with the singular fnfthion intrude which creates a demand in Europe for the larger beans , while the United States will have none but the smaller ones. In point of fact , the larger bonus are the best , being fully developed , more perfect in appearance and flavor.

Hunter , who is better known as the "man without legs , " and who formerly sold papers nt tlio ferry landings , died a horrible death yesterday after noon at 4:15 : o'clock in the city receiv ing hospital. Hunter had gone there nbout ono week ago , saying that on the night previous ho had eaten by mis take , or rather while he was asleep at the Commercial hotel , a piece of bread , on which before retiring ho hud spread rough on rats. Ho was immediately ; made to take severe emetics , after which he wont into eiii'iontio fits. Since his udiiil-K-ion to the hospital ho has had six of them , during the lust of which ho died. The hospital steward believed yester day morning that Hunter had entirely recovered and intended discharging him at noontime. Prior to that , how ever , ho cut off the handle of u broom to replace Hunter's lostcano and handed it to him to try if itvas short enough. Hunter Immediately used the stick to adrninlater u , threshing to the steward in which ho was fairly successful for u while , until a misdirected blow brought the cudgel up against the hospital wall when it broke. The steward then mas tered his assailant and put him in a strait-jacket. Ho promised Hunter his release in an hour provided ho behaved himself , but the man , by thnt time fairly frenzied , yelled and cursed horribly ribly , To a reporter of the Chroniolo , who spoke to hlra during .the ; ifternpon , ho said ho had boon put in tho' jacket bo- ; uu8o ho spoke to the slo wart about God , 'a being the - rascal has never ieard of before. " Ho further stated that if ho were not given his liberty ho vould "soon peg out. " True enough , a few minutes later , vhen ho was alone , ho was tnkon with a it and when found ho was dead. Hunter was a typical character. Ho viw a shrewd , discerning Now Hamp shire Yankee , who lived by his wits. Io always hud some cchemo on foot to nulct people out of money , nnd when io was in funds ho took his case intil poverty Blared him in the MCO again and then ho would start out for now victims. Ho preyed on non in all walks of life , and sometimes soared high for game. Recently ho rlcd to cutoh Senator Lcland Stanford n his not , but the latter wouldn't bite , ind left Hunter's letter requesting an ntorviow unanswered. What ho bought of the senator's slight is freely expressed in a note which WUH found by ho coroner among Hunter's letters. It ind evidently boon written just before 10 took the poison , und ho did not find line to mall it. Here it is : Mr. Stanford : I sent you n note on the 10th of September , thinking you wus a gen- liuiiau. 1 pro ) > osed to have u gentlemanly alk with you , but UR you was bog enough to oven keep the 2-ceut stamp I sent you I ad- 'iso you to look out for the Future If you magino there Is no Death.

New York Mail : "The fashionable walking sticks for this fall and winter will not bo as largo as they were last year , " said a salesman in a Broadway shqp. "The swell yevithti who carried tlioso telegraph poles last winter found themselves pulled down in flesh when spring came. The result is that the medium weight sticks will bo most in demand this season. Tlio plain stvlos are selling best now. The English hazel and the French crab sticks , with medium-sized silver caps , are popular , und ash , olive , orange , and snakeweed , with crooks or knobs all in ono piece , are correct for all but dress occasions. Crooks and crutches of buckhorn are still very popular , und some new Hticks uro made of American laurel , which , by the way , comes from Mexico. Old English oak is also in use this season , and is as stylish for canes us it is for house decorations. "Silver-deposit canes came out this year , und are in great demand. They uro mudo by covering the wood with graphite to make it a conductor of elec tricity and then electro-plating the top. "A great many gentlemen this year have cut articles for themselves where they have been summering and brought them to us to have the silver deposit put on them. Wo have to keep a largo variety of fantastic styles , such aa demons , dragons , harlequins and clowns. Those are all in silver , and some are very offectivq , as , for instance , this ono of a skull with u lizard crawling on it. Another skull cano has emeralds for eyes and the lower jaw pivoted so that it opens and shuts as you move the stick. Wo got the London nnd Paris designs as soon as they como out , and we import some of the classes of sticks that wo think wo sell. There are moro homo designs sold than imported ones.
