Sir Thomas Henry Gnittan Ewmondo nnd
Hon. Arthur O'Connor , envoys of the Irish
National Land league , arrived in thu city thin
morning and immediately became the recipi
ents of marked attention from the most promi
nent legislators of the capital. The reputation
of their mission , no less than the high
character and standing of the gentlemen and
thu enthusiastic reception which they have
received everywhere during their trii )
throUL-hout the country , were no doubt re
sponsible for the .consideration with which
they have been received torday. Early this
morning Congressman John A. McShane , ol
Nebraska , and Patrick Collins , of Massa-
chussets , met Messrs. Esmonde and O'Connor
and drovu them in n liausomcquippnge to the
white house for the punxjso of presenting
them to President Cleveland. UKin | theii

found that the cabinet was in session , but or
sending in their cards , with a note fiom one
of their hosts to the president , thei
were shown into the private liorarj
and were scarcelv seated before Mr. Cleve
land entered by the do8r leading to the cabl
net room. There was hearty handshaking
by the president , who assured his visitors ol
the great pleasure which i gave him to meel
them , Tlio conversation which ensued wa <
devoted chieily to inquiries by the president
tv > to their impressions of the country ovei
which they hnd passed. Tlio visit wasa verj
social one , and Messrs. Collins und McShane
who have been vigorously pumiKsd by tin
rciwrtcrs as to the minute details of the con
versation , each unite in the declaration thai
it had no political significance. H
mtiy bo stated , however , that tin
consideration shown by the president
in nt once leaving an important cabinet meet
ing to meet his visual's , is not regarded n
lacking in bigniflcance. Later in the daj
Messrs. Esmondo and O'Connor were drivet
to the Capitol and introduced to Speaker Car
lisle , when a pleasant interchange of civil
tics took placo. IVom the house of reprcsen
tatives the party proceeded to the senate

The Motion to Bintr Inn Taken Under
AdvlHcnient.
IJr.iv YOHK , Dec. 15. The grand larceny
charge brought against Henry S. Ivcs by
President Dexter , of the Cincinnati , Hamil
ton & Dayton road , had its first examination
to-day. Counsel for Ives conceded the state
ments about the contract made by Ives as
trustee for the Chlncinnati , Hamilton Jc Day
ton for the purchase of the Tcrre Haute &
Indianapolis road ; also the depositing of the
$100,000 draft to the credit of Ives & Co. , as
alleged in the charge , but insisted that due
credit was made in the Cincinnati , Hamilton
& Dayton general account.
President Dexter rtad nn extract from
Ives' cash books , teaiding to corroborate the
statement. The cross-examination was de
voted to questions intended to show personal
uuimus against Ivcs on the part of Dexter.
Hardy S. Ogdcn , ' one of Ives' bookkeepers
ers , was called and'the prosecution stated its
puriHise to show th&i by the last day of May
the firm was insolvent and would not have
been able to keep up after June fl without
the use of the It'iOO.OOO alleged to nave been
appropriated by Ives.- * ,
Ivcs' counsel allowed the testimony , al
though they considered it a peculiar Vay to
prove n firm's insolvency by showing that on
any one day its cash balance was less than its
liabilities.
Ives took the stand nnd told the story of
the Vandalia transactions. He had handed
the $100,000 check to-Stayner after the deal
was completed and did net
know how It had been deposited
until his attention was called to it.
Asked If his firm was insolvent on the last
dayof May , witness said it was not insolvent
even when the assignment was made , and
created n sensation by the statement that the
assignment had been made partly on the ad
vice of his goodf riend , Mr. Dexter.
Ives' counsel then took up the motion to
dismiss the complaint , dcclarini : that there
was no evidence to show intent to defraud.
The draft , when it fsU due , had been paid by
Ives & Co. out of money In their bands anil
the company had not lost a cent. He de
nounced the case brought by Dexter as an
attempt to break Ives down and prejudice
him in a civil suit then ponding.
Justice Killbrcth took the motion under ad
visement. _

The scaffold Is In the yard Just east of the

few witnesses. Hollow * was brought here
from Anamosa this morning. He has been
confined in the i > enitentiary since November ,
l&rO , when he was found guilty. Hesays very
little and does not .seem to care very much
for his future. His actions all seem to be
calculated to raise the question of his sanity
and when interviewed this morning he pre
tended to have forgotten tne day and month
and said he did not-remember ever tx'inp
here before. At times he would do things
that would show that his forgetfulncss was
mere pretense. The crime for which Hol
lows will be hung was the murder of his
niece , Alice Waterman. She had been living
at Minneapolis , but carne hero in ! Sy > and
went to live with the Waterrhans. a short dis
tance from this place. His attentions to Alice
and his general conduct soon became such
that he was sent away on the 8th of July. He
went to the hon.se of a neighbor , Chester
Wilowr , with" whom Allrc was stopping , and
called her out doors and shot her twice , the
last shot being fatal. He then shot himself ,
but inflicted merely ilesh wounds. He was
tried and found guilty November 17 and IS ,
