New York Times, The (Newspaper) - August 18, 1891, New York, New York Three Parts 24 Pages Part One Pages OL NEW-YORK SUNDAY AUGUST 18 THREE PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS AND PARLIAMENT An Irish Session in Spite of All the Contrary Expectations EXPLANATION REVEALED BY HEALY Only Members of the Opposition Who Know What They Want and Do Not Yield to Defeat TREATY AND OTHER QUESTIONS Policy Strata of Germany Son to London By Commercial from Our Own Aug 1895 by The New-York It la an Irish session after all I suppose I must have heard thla remark Ln some form or other fall from fifty Sassenach mouths inside the precincts of Westminster the last two days Most often It was uttered In tones of melancholy dejection though somo were angry and here and there one as he spoke The discovery which It points to Is curious but after all Intelligible Everybody thought that Ireland was well under foot for the rest of the century millions of the electorate had voted Unionist on the express un- and pledge that they were to hear no more about that standing sance Ireland for a long time to come and the entire coalitionist press when the results of the polls were announced the country on this de- lightful outcome Now to their vast prise this Parliament which was hardly to mention the name of Ireland meets and straightway heels overhead Into a complicated racket which is not only bound to occur again next week and haunt hat remains of the but is to monopolize the bulk of the sitting beginning in ary This Id very painful and ing as well to the Butish mind The explanation lies however quite on the surface The total opposition In the new Commons amounts to only 259 bers of wnom the Irish Nationalist 83 are by far the most potential third They represent indeed the only considerable fraction of th opposition which knows what it wants or feels like taking the trouble to make its wants known The British Liberals temporarily have hail the fight knocked out of them a large number of their leaders have and those who are left are lie low and will say as little as sible for a or so On the other hand the Irish have returned with Increased numbers all for combat Their spirit was portrayed last night In Healy's remarkable speech when he said We look across at your great majority without awe It represents merely the fluctuating spasms of English politics while we stand for the permanent forces of Irish nationality Hence It Is not strange that In the new House the Irish from the outset should take the lead in opposition and force the fighting argument that nothing may be gained by fighting which appeals BO to the scattered and ened English Scotch and Welsh of Liberals has no meaning to the Irish who grown up accustomed to gle against overwhelming odds It should be too that the rank and file of the Irish Party are much happier In their minds about Internal matters than they had expected to be They took the bit in their own teeth yesterday and forced their commutes to abandon Its suicidal pretensions to dictatorship inside the party Not only were Healy Arthur O'Connor and elected on the body but others made to understand that any f ui ther nonsense of constituencies or of using the party purse as a factional corruption fund would be sharply punished by the of the This gives ground for hope that the conspiracy of inferior men to shut Healy out of public life has re- its deathblow His speech last night which is treated by the whole press as tne event of the session was backed by the cheers of his united party as the authoritative deliverance of a leader It wag clearly the effect this speech which dictated the result in the committee room after it when a party yet secret ballot for committee placed Healy at the head of the poll with 31 votes abreast of Dillon and Blake and above all others Two ot Healy's oldest supporters refused to vote at all on the theory that It was of no use If they had voted he would have had the majority on the committee The three remaining vacancies In Ireland are expected to be filled by his friends which will give him practically a half of the party and as he has no dream of punishing or anybody there Is a chance at last of some decent semblance of unity in the party Next week we shall doubtless be Im- In anxious discussions about the As was foreshadowed In these dispatches England has lodged a protest against the Franco-Chinese treaty and on Tuesday an official statement la ex- in Parliament on the present state of thla very genuine France has repudiated entirely her agreement to establish a buffer State between and her Siamese acquisitions and has persuaded or compelled China to cede to her territory which la really British and Is now occupied by British garrisons English are also Intrenched at on the east bank of the which the French aay they must quit All at- tempts to compromise on the ground had been abandoned before the Chinese treaty added and no one now sees how cither country may withdraw without grave loss of tige Almost equally pressing is the dis- pute with the French on the Niger of which The Times it is impossible that England should accept any mise There also hangs In the a considerable number of other Anglo- French quarrels of which that In Egypt Is always ready to be thrust forward Into awkward prominence The avowed French policy for years back has been to accumulate these grievances or pretexts for grievance against England nurse each in turn and part with none on the theory of finally forcing England Into a corner where she will be compelled to surrender thing valuable as the price of an round settlement Often in the course of this process the two nations have growled and shown their teeth but ual rupture has always been avoided Each time however this postponement of trouble becomes more difficult for the reason that the French are continually turning up with fresh claims and there is Increasing danger that England will lose its temper I wonder often at the self-restraint that the lish press and politicians show In this matter year after year Of course this the country's Interests are deeply Involved In peace but it argues remarkable ties to be able constantly to keep this in mind and never yield to Impatient anger This rage will be thing to see If It ever does burst the bounds The English press could in a single day raise the whole country Into a flaming ferment If It chose to do so hence it is useful to note that The Times the last week has been talking much more gravely about the and the Niger than ever before and that an official statement on the former sub- ject has been promised by George zon foi next week The Bulgarian question Is for the ment In statu quo Signs seem to point Just now to Prince Ferdinand having his boy baptized an orthodox Greek In the belief that this will go toward placating Russia It Is perfectly well understood by everybody else that this will be of no good and it is difficult to believe that he knows so little of the actual political facts of the case Meanwhile the donian disorder which is really due to the Invasion of an armed Bulgarian band Is again attracting attention The ish troops are admittedly behaving with extreme caution and the outrages thus far are altogether on the other side yet the chance that this miserable farce may embroil Europe continues to vex public apprehension f At the Foreign Office they hear night that the Spanish Republican ing so called Is of no importance It is due to the weakening of the garrisons on account of the Cuban necessities but plenty of troops are left to take care of these marauders who have no popular support whatever The North of England is still talking of nothing but the extraordinary man Emperor and of his flying visit to Westmoreland Which brief as it was sufficed to create a whole cloud of gends of his Imperial eccentricity His passion for furious driving attracted perhaps most attention even in the dis- where the wild Lowthers have raced horseflesh to death since the Norman days but he did many other things equally Interesting London as usual has seen nothing of him and here the principal curiosity is what on earth he can have found In Earl Lonsdale who Is by two years his senior to so captivate him Certain it is that a prodigious friendship has sprung up between the two and Lonsdale when he attends the big German manoeuvres next month is to be treated as a special Imperial guest as if he were a royal personage These manoeuvres involving an un- precedented force of four army corps are to be ushered In by a great celebration at Berlin ot the Sedan These commemorations have been proceeding now for nearly a night though little attention has been paid to them outside the in both countries all along the frontier has been deeply stirred Both have done all in their er It murt be said to minimize the chances of friction Yesterday in and about Mars-la-Tour the various fields which lie some on one side of the frontier and some on the other were visited by thousands of people with wreaths and civilians of both ties were freely allowed to cross the line but troops were kept out of sight of each other A procession of 100 German erans in citizen's clothes penetrated to Mars-la-Tour and moved through the streets to the burial places Their com- rades took off their hats and bowed In- cessantly to the inhabitants These ter mostly stopped Indoors but the rest the pilgrims coolly arid said nothing Thus faf these mances have passed off with far less display of hostility than was foreboded but body will be easier in mind when they are finished altogether By present ar- rangement they stretch on till Jan 18 the date of the proclamation of the man Empire at Versailles and this im- plies a prolonged strain on the French patience The news that Archduke Francis dinand who has been treated as the heir to the Austrian throne since his cousin Rudolph's suicide has been seized with a dangerous pulmonary affection has created much agitation In political circles both Inside and beyond the dual archy He Is not by any means an Ideal heir presumptive but his brother Otto is BO unspeakably worse that people have grown reconciled to hia shortcomings If he dies however It will be Impossible to keep tha unhappy state of the burg succession from public discussion much longer Veiled allusions to certain tions surrounding another heir apparent are being succeeded In the London papers by open hints It seems that tha zada who had euch an Imposing fuses to budge There Is an official story that he Is delaying his departure on count of a misunderstanding as to who shall pay the expenses of his projected Continental tour but the real reason Is understood to be that he Is having more fun In London than any Asiatic second son ever dreamed of before and Insists on settling down to it as a life job It now seems settled that Sir Garnet Wolseley Is to succeed the Duke of bridge In October as Commander In Chief though with functions of the post considerably limited This result if it be now really secure has been won only after a stubborn resistance of the Court party and the old-fashioned military magnates who owe their promotion to that party All the officers who are keen about introducing reforms and bringing the British system up to something like a recognizable relationship to the military standards are astic over the promised change The only drawback is that the advocates of a greatly Increased navy who just now en- Joy the popular ear suspect Wolseley of underrating the value of a preponderant naval force The late Canadian Viceroy Earl Derby has engaged in a combat with of one of his Flintshire manors which to-night It is reported has developed Into a small civil war They have enjoyed a short-cut footpath over the hill on his castle domain for three generations he has now Inclosed it with a high fence and ordered that to the hill and castle ruins shall be only by ticket Mobs of Indignant villagers tear down the fence as fast as Jt Is built and burn the notice boards and a Welsh member who passed through the dis- to-day tells me the expectation Is that a force of Chester police will be brought out to coerce the crowd which Is quite resolved to resist Keir Hardie who sails to-day for a ure tour in America deserves no tion from labor leaders or anybody else and will probably get what he de- serves John Burns really has thing in him but Hardie is a mere empty fraud who won notice in the Commons only by wearing dirty old clothes and a coster's cap Instead of a hat of mentary tradition This would have been forgiven as a part of his general scheme of securing an audience If there had been anything genuine behind his affectations and people tolerantly waited to see If there was but In vain He Is a skite pure and simple Gladstone now Issues a ment on some book or ethical problem submitted to him nearly every day anJ sad to say the papers have taken to printing them In very small type In ob- scure corners One to-day contains the statement that while he Is personally grateful to science for all that It has done and Is doing Christianity stands In no need of it and is as able now as ever to hold its own ground A curious report is afloat that burne is about to be made Poet Laureate and a friend who ought to be well in- formed says that it hao always been a mistake to suppose that the Queen op- posed him BO strongly The real tion to this account came from Gladstone and was based chiefly on personal grounds The appointment Is however so strictly a royal prerogative and the Queen is so tenacious In these things that the story seems to have a weak point somewhere and I am inclined to doubt that Swinburne will get It after all Mr Marston of a well-known firm writes to The Times to-day ing a new version of the Canadian right controversy He ridicules the Idea that Americans have anything to fear from Canadian reprints of British books if only for the reason that their tion could be stopped by our customs and declares that the present American outcry against the proposed Dominion law is raised purely to screen our own Improper claims upon Canada He ad- vises the Canadians to abandon their present position and pass instead a strong law to exclude American reprints of copyright books from Canada This seems rather for the book market Is so small as not to be In dispute but Mr Marston sets It forth with great vigor Incidentally he says that he understands the projected Dominion law Is not in the least likely to be passed here and that accords with what others say of Mr Chamberlain's attitude in the matter H F LONDON A WAR KOI E BEFORE HE DiED An Official and Utilizing Infirmaries for Mobilization LONDON Aug British War Of- fice has Issued an emergency letter to the city officials and Metropolitan Board of Guardians asking whether In the event of war they would be prepared to allow the War Department to utilize the for the mobilization of an army corps for home defence The letter is probably a routine affair without significance but some of the day papers to-morrow will try to raise a scare over the matter Lloyd's calls it alarming and says that naval and military men at the service clubs told a Lloyd's inquirer that never In their experience had the War Office so suddenly Issued such an alarming circular They could not imagine any reason for such a proceeding on the part of the War Department and Indulged In the gravest surmises over the matter CYCLONE TEARS

Some Otoe Cried Mad Dog I Shots Ended His Life The Board of Health has a puzzling ques tlon to decide Police Captain sent to It yesterday the body of a dog that had bitten two persons before It was finally killed and asked it to determine whether the dog had been mad The Health verdict will be awaited with anxiety by Policeman Edward Buchanan of the West Thirtieth Street Police Station and George D Greeley of 57 West Twenty-seventh Street both of whom were bitten on the hand by the before his young life was terminated with five bullets About 700 other persons are also mildly curious to know the truth The dog whose breed was uncertain waa about a old and had chosen Charles Williams a colored man employed In a tailoring establishment at Sixth Avenue and Twenty-seventh Street aa hia master Williams Bays he never owned the dog the dog merely followed him around and he took care of him out of charity He came to me one day with his tongue hanging out of his said Williams last night to a reporter for The New-York Times and I gave him a drink of water He was grateful for my kindness and out of gratitude ho remained with me Mr Williams lives at 116 West sixth Street and the dog lodges there every night I noticed that the dog was nighty In his head this continued Mr Will ams He acted strangely and ran around the store as If he had no settled purpose In his mind He would stop denly and spin around on the floor like a top and foam at the mouth but I didn't think him mad The dog continued to spin around on the floor at frequent Intervals until shortly after 2 o'clock when he ran out on Sixth Avenue and spun around a few times on the s dewalk Hla peculiar antics attracted a crowd of people who watched him for a while with a good deal of amusement until some one Mad Then they became panic striken and broke away The at that moment happened to be In the midst of an unusually good spin and hla mouth was covered with foam He seemed to recognize In the cry a cue to bite so he stopped suddenly and sprang at the nearest man That happened to be George D Greeley who struck at him with his right hand The dog promptly seized the man's hand between his teeth and buried them deep In the flesh so that blood started At the sight of the blood the crowd began throwing things at the dog which turned apd ran down Sixth nue The crowd chased but he man to stop or twice to take a spin around and then he sighted an proaching open horse car filled with sengers The crowd had swelled to several hundred wildly yelling people and the driver stopped the car As he did BO the mad dog jumped Into It between the second and third seats to the consternation of the passengers who made a frantic break for the street Some one kicked the dog and knocked him off the car and the driver whipped up his horses and made them break the Sixth Avenue record The dog was not at all discouraged by rebuff which he had just received but with the crowd at his heels turned Into a saloon at the corner of Twenty-sixth Street The men In the place seemed to know instinctively that the dog was mad and dropping their beer steins vaulted over the bar The bartender who was not of the cause of their action thought he waa the victim of an attack and prepared to defend himself with a knife but dropped it in terror when he saw the dog The dog did not go behind the bar but made his exit by the side door and ran across Twenty-sixth Street to his home at 116 He ran up stairs to Mr apartments with Mr Williams after him and the crowd in the street yelling like Indians Mr Williams caught him Ho submitted to capture without a struggle Taking him by tne nape of the neck Mr Williams carried the dog down stairs but as soon as the dog saw the crowd which now completely blocked the street he away and was free again He ran through the crowd which tered to let him through but Mr followed and recapturing him tied his hind legs with a piece of rope He then tried to carry the dog to Policeman Buchan- an who was to him to the police station But the dog again escaped and as the reached out to grab him the dog leaped upon him and bit his right hand Buchanan promptly drew his revolver and shot the dog in the body but the dog would not die so easily He started to escape and Buchanan shot him again The dog then lay on the ground but still snapping viciously and Buchanan sent three more bulleta into hia body before he gave up his canine ghost Dragging the dog's body behind him Buchanan followed by the crowd went to the police station and then to the York Hospital where his wound was He then reported Blck and went home Mr Greeley In the meantime had had his wound attended to by a physician Capt sent the dog's body to the Board of Health and asked for an opinion as to whether the animal was mad or not Cuzco People Indignant at Government's to Expel Taken by Guerrillas Special Cable Dispatch to New-York LIMA Peru via Galveston Aug 17 American missionaries are the object of
