Washington, Sept 2S. The recent hur tied passage of the joint resolution to purchase a million dollars worth of nickel to make nickel steel armor plates for the new war vessels has been pushed through with many mysterious hints that it had to be done in a hurry or somebody would get left.

Out of this have grown rumors of wars. The fact is that there are not enough nickel mines in the world to supply the demand if every country goes into the business of using nickel steel for armor plates and projectiles. It has been demonstrated as far as experiments can demonstrate such matters, that a vessel equipped with the new armor could out-light one more heavily armored or with guns of higher power. It is difficult to find a mode by which judges shall be named so that the people on the one hand may know that the chosen men are suitable and the bar on the other be certain that the candidates are good lawyers as well as upright men. It sometimes happens that both these requirements are fullfilled without the aid of either private clique or partisan compromise.

Among the Irish nationalists present in Tipperary yesterday to attend the trial of Patrick O'Brien the Irish leader, were John Morley, who has been in Ireland for some time studying the Irish question; John Dillon; Alfred Illings-worth, member of parliament for Bradford T. M.

Healey, commoner, and Harrington and several others. These with others were on their way to the court house and had stopped on a corner where they were quietly talking when the police told them to move on. John O'Connor, member of parliament for South Tipperary, took very vigorous exception to their order, and showed his contempt for the police by calling on the crowd, 'which by that time had become large, to give three cheers for John Morley. The cheers were given with hearty good wall, much to the exasperation of the police, who thereupon charged upon the group and attempted to force it to move forward. In the melee that followed the policemen did not hesitate to use their batons.

One burly constable aimed a blow at John Morley himself, but John O'Connor, who stood near, warded it off. The Nationalists then continued their way slowly, toward the court house. When the hour for the opening of the court arrived, an immense crowd had collected before the court house.ready to rush in the moment the doors were thrown open. The authorities decided to admit only those who were immediately interested in the trial. The crowd pressed forward, trying to force a way into the court house.

The police stoutly repeatedly charged upon the crowd, using their clubs freely. For fully five minutes there was a stand up fight between the now excited throng and the police. At last the crowd was gradually forced back and the police succeeded in maintaining a clear space in front of the court house. The leaders of the crowd continued to make vigorous protests against being excluded from the court house. During the conflict many persons were wounded with blows from the policemen's bludgeons.

Among the wounded were Timothy Harrington, member of parliament from Dublin, and Mr. Halifax. Both received heavy blows on their heads. Their appearance in court after the struggle created a profound sensation and lent an additional emphasis to the complaint which Mr. O'Brien was making to the court of the brutality of the police.

At first Mr. O'Brien had refused to enter the court room unless the public could be freely admitted. He maintained this attitude for some time, but at last, deciding that he could accomplish more by appealing to the court, entered the room and bitterly denounced the wanton clubbing of the crowd, of which he had just been a witness. Then John Morley arose and addressed the court, manifesting great agitation both in tone and manner. lie earnestly appealed to the court to protect the populace against the wanton use of the club by the police.

The court finally yielded and the doors were opened to the people. The following "ad" recently appeared in the Liverpool Post: "Will the lady wearing spectacles, who, on Thursday evening, the 7th inst, drove a dark pony and four-wheeled phaeton, with groom behind, along Hale wood road, and injured a valuable saddle horse by not taking her side of the road, kindly get a better pair of glasses and take driving lessons before she ventures out again?" Republican Have Quorum. Washington, Sept. 24. O'Ferrall of Virginia was the oniy Democratic member of the house present when the roll was called yesterday.

After considerable delay it was announced that a quorum was present, enough absentee Republicans having returned to the city to break the deadlocn. During the delay Mr. O'Ferrall made an effort to delay the business which it was acknowledged the house had in hand, which was the seating of the contestants for seats in the house. O'Ferrall declared that he had never voted to perpetrate a larceny. He was asked whether it was considered a larceny when he, O'Ferrall, was seated by a Democratic house.

The Virginian responded that the larceny in his case was the withholding of the certificate of election on the part of the governor of his state. The question then recurred upon the first of the majority resolutions to unseat Vena-ble. It was agreed to yeas, 151 nays, 1 (Mr Cheadle). The clerk noting a quorum. Then came the question on the seating of Langston, and it was carried on a divisionMr.

O'Ferrall and Mr. Cheadle alone voting in the negative. Mr. Haugen then escorted Langston to the bar of the house while the Republican side and the galleries broke into loud applause and cheers, which were redoubled as the speaker administered the oath. Then came a chorus from the Republican side, "Call another case," and im response to the chorus Mr.

Rowell of Illinois, called up the South Carolina case of Miller against Elliott. The previous question was ordered, and despite a protest from Mr. Kerr, of Iowa, that some reason for its adoption should be given, the resolutions unseating Elliott and seating Miller were agreed to without division. The Completed Tariff Bill. Washington, Sept.

27 After ten days' hard work the conference committee on the tariff bill completed its work late this afternoon and reported the result to the house. The committee had to deal with 464 amendments. In the more important items of this kind, the result of the committee's action is as follows The date when the bill is to take effect was made October February 1 next is fixed as the ultimate date upon which goods deposited in bond before October 1 may be withdrawn at the old rates of duty.

New York, Sept. 22. Mr. Depew, asked what he thought of the confessions of tha wreckers, said "This is a matter which I think concerns the public much more than it does the New York Central. The people must be the prosecutors, not the company, The loss of property which the company has suffered is a mere bagatelle compared to the awful jeopardy in which human life has been placed.

I do not think we have yet begun to realize what an awful crime train wrecking is. It is the worst and most brutal form of murder." "Do you think that the Knights of Labor are largely implicated in the matter?" "Most certainly not. Of course not. No large body of men could be got together anywhere in this country who would sanction such work. There are some bad men in all organizations.

I know the Knights of Labor are not responsible for this crime. But it looks as if some bad men who are Knights of Labor are responsible for it." "Do you believe that Lee was an accomplice?" "I am a lawyer by profession. I do not therefore believe any man is guilty of a charge made against him until he is conclusively proven guilty. It is too soon to say that of Mr. Lee." A If ew Democratic Ticket.

Washington, Sept. 23. The latest Presidential ticket proposed for the Democratic party in 1892 is: For President, Arthur P. Gorman; for Vice President, George Hearst. There has been a great deal of talk in favor of such a ticket.

One of the men who favors it is John O'Day, the Democratic leader of Missouri. While he was here, recently, he said Gorman was the shrewdest politician in the United States to-day and that he had shown his right to be a leader of men by his clever leadership of the Democratic party in the senate in the days when the Force bill impended. A MissourS congressman said that while O'Day was here he intimated that he would soon advocate German's nomination in his new paper, the Springfield Democrat. In Hearst's favor it is urged that the West must be represented on the the Democratic party must look to the Western states for electors in 1892. Hearst is very popular in California, the state he now represents in the senate, and also has large interests in Washington and Wyoming and Nevada.

He has a fortune which he would probably be willing to place at the disposal of the Democratic campaign committee.

The Benwell-Birchall Murder. Woodstock, Sept. 25. The trial of young Benwell for the murder of his friend Birchall is now in progress and is attract ing great attention.

It will be remembered that the theory is that the prisoner went to England, after marrying a prominent young lady here, and brought over young Birchall to buy a farm which Benwell claimed to own. It is believed that he then enticed his victim to a swamp and killed him, and then wrote to the murdered man's father saying that his son liked and would take it, and asking the father to send over socially, with the liberals, to whom Diaz owes his power.
