O'Brien's Views on the Arrest of Irish Leaders, It Bill Greatly Strengthen the nationalist Cause in America, Hot a Sign of Despondency at the Headquar ters of tbe Land League at Dublin. Parnell's Movements. "- — Epeclal Dispatches to The Moasisa ______ London, Sept. 19.— The arrest of the Irish leaders yesterday still occupies a con spicuous place in the newspapers through out the United Kingdom. Various explana tions are surmised to account for Balfour's sudden stroke The commonest one on the 1 art of the Liberal press is that its object was to prevent Dillon and O'Brien from going to America to arouse American sym pathy and solicit American aid. The Con servatives, however, scout the idea that Balfour could have acted from such a motive. They see in his present policy a laudable effort to prevent the recurrence of disorder in Ireland. On the whole, one gets sthe5 the impression that the predominant pubiie opinii n is so far extremely doubtful of the wisdom or expediency of the Government's course. O'BRIEN INTERVIEWED. O'Brien, in an interview this morning, said he could not imagine what infatuation had driven the Government to make the arrests. It is easy to see, he thought, what they are driving at. They are making a supreme effort to crush out the organization of tenants f r concerted action. This they expect to accomplish, be thought, by simul taneous clearances on all the estates where _ the plan of campaign bad been adopted. The evicted tenants they calculate on thus hav ing helpless at their feet. "But cau such a policy be successful?" O'Brien was asked. '"No," he replied. It is in my opinions riece of inconceivable folly, but it seems clear to me that this is what the Govern ment proposes to attempt" A.N' ABSri'.D CALCULATION. "It is held by man)*," the correspondent said, "that the main purprse of Balfour in making the arrest? at this time is to prevent Dillon and you from making your contem plated trip to America." "' That does not seem n probable theory to me," replied O'Brien. "Uut it it is true. 11 more absurd calculation never was made, even by the pto-eut Chief Secretary of Ire land. Far from preventing our appeal to America, lie has made it for us in a most striking and impressive way. The story of these arrests will ring through America like a trumpet note, compared with which our voices would have been feeble and inef fective. All Irish- Americans know that Tip perary is the key to the light for Ireland. They will take care to frustrate the das tardly calculations of the Government" A BENEFICIAL Or- km:. " What do you think," the correspondent asked, "will be the ultimate effect of tho Government's present course on the cause you represent?;' - " It will i-Jaltogetber beneficial," O'Brien ""^TTT-.i.-'d, w rr^biut hesitation. "It will close up the ra^s of our followers, revive the drooping couTi_s£_.and banish every shadow of dissension. Th ."combination in Tippe rary is absolutely impregnable. It cannot Do shaken." Warrants were issued against Dillon and O'Erien, but only summons against the others. Dillon dwells upon this as proviug the intention was to frustrate his American tour. The News says: lialfcur has met Ire land's famine appeal after his fashion, and lias commit ed an act of stupendous folly. We are slow to believe him stupid enough to desire to prevent their mission to America, because others are going in their steal, and will meet with a splendid reception. It is difficult, indeed, to assign any rational mo tive. Michael Davitt's organ, the Labor World, made its first appearance to-day, and was enthusiastically welcomed, It resembles the Pall Mall Gazette in size and foim. BUST NATIONALISTS, Dublin, Sept. 19.— The busiest place in Dublin to-day is the headquarters of the Land League. Tno Nationalists are calling in a constant stream to learn the latest new;. Dillon, who came on to Dublin last night, is the center of an animated circle. No note of despondency is detected in the utterances of the leaders. On the other band, there seems to be fresh confidence and new enthusiasm. Instead of regarding the arrests as a calamity, the prevailing ten dency is to rejoice at them as a blessing in disguise, The action of Balfour the Nation alists hold to have been an immense tactical j ler for the Government. Tbey are sat -^lrfiji'd that it will lesult in signal advantages to tbe Irish cause. SUBSTITUTE ORATORS. The inability of Dillon and O'Brien to make the proposed trip to America is much regretted, lint the plan of presenting the true state of Ireland to the American pub lic by means of speeches by leading Irish orators has not been abandoned. Who will be selected to go to America has not yet been determined. In O'Brien's absence it was considered not desirable to come to any decision in so important a matter. When O'Brien reaches Dublin, a consultation will be held by him, Dillon and other leaders to discuss and decide upon the matter. John Cullmane and Michael Dalton, mem ber* of the National League, have _been arrested. T. D. Sullivan will probably make a tour of America. i'amoli is making arrangclncnts for an early meeting of his followers in London. T. P. O'Connor ana James O'Keliy will probably take the berths on the steamer Teutonic wnich Dillon and O'Brien had secured for their passage to the United States. THE 1111-II PRESS. The Freeman's Journal, Nationalist, says: If the Government's object was to stop the visit of Dillon and O'Brien to America, the arrests are a shameful confession of weak ness aid discomfiture. Further on Bal four's policy is characterized as a "piece of imbecility," which will give to the plan of campaign the most invigoiating and exhilar ating stimulus. The Independent Conservative Dublin Express says : It is an imperative necessity to secure relief from tho tyranny now exer cised by tenants. ♦ _ MALICIOUS FALSEHOODS.

Rare Old Coins and Curies Being Exten sively Counterfeited. Ottawa, Sept 19.— Superintendent Bell of the United States Secret Service in Toronto, accompanied by two detective offi cers, have in hand one of the most extraor dinary cases of counterfeiting in America for many years. The investigation so far progressed indicates that a regularly organ ized gang of counterfeiters has been at work for yeai's manufacturing base old coius, plate and other curios. It has been discovered that some of these counterfeits have been manufactured in the neighborhood of Toronto, and expressed to the United States. The investigation has been con ducted quietly for six months, but as yet tho counterfeiters have not been run to earth. When the first counterfeit was dis covered it created a great deal of excitement anions dealers in old coins, and the Numis matist Association of the United States started secret service officers to investigat ing the matter and that action has so far resulted iv the discovery of extensive coun terfeiting in the States and Canada. The one-dcllar issue of 1804 was recalled, and four were only 1. -ft In circulation. Eacli of these coins is now valued by numismatists at $600. and it was a counterfeit ol cue ol these that led to the first discovery. Detec tives succeeded in locating several mints in Louisiana, and among the stuff secured were many counterfeits of old coins. While inquiry was being prosecuted, an in cident occurred in Michigan Prison, at Michigan City, that threw light on the work. In lhis prison there is confined a notorious rleiter, l'eter McCartney.

A United States detective was dispatched to Oakville, and only a short distance from the village, in the garret of an unoccupied build ing, he found almost a complete counterfeit ing outfit. Superintendent Hell came to Toronto to follow up this clew. -• Taxing Greenback..

Washington*, Sept. 19.— Tho filibuster ing by the Democrats of the liouse was continued to-day. The action of the Repub lican caucus yesterday in sending peremptory orders to absentea Republicans to return had the effect of bringing within six of a quorum. The attempt of tlio Speaker to count a quorum proved disastrous, the test by tellers showing that his count had been wrong. He retrieved this by ruling that 1.6 was a Quorum, after he had himself at first thought that 104 was enough, that number being present. The Democrats had expected that an at tempt would lie made to confine them in the House by closing the doors, which would have resulted in trouble, but this was not done. All the Democrats except two or three were out of the House, and many of them were in the corridors, consumed with curiosity, but they were afraid to poke their noses within the hall, lest they be counted for a quorum. Mr. Ilolir.an peeped in once and liie Speaker saw him and called him in, amid the applause of the Republi cans. This was a warning to the rest, and they kept nut of sight. HEl'lr'SEl) TO COMPROMISE. Now and then Mr. OTerr.ill came out to report, but most of the time the Democrats outside were ignorant of what TVSs going on within. About 'J o'clock Mr. O'Ferrall came out with a proposition which had been made to him by the Republicans. It was that ii the Democrats would yield now no more Democrats would be unseated. Many were willing to accept this, but Mr. McMillan ad vised earnestly against it, and tho filibuster ing continued. Members who have not felt it safe to como into the House have been having their hats handed out to them through a glass door leading tothe corridor Irom the barber shop. To-day a padlock and chain were placed on this door. A BILL FOR FKI.TON'S _-_-___*___ Tho Senate to-day passed a bill for the relief of Charles N.

Representative Walker Got* the Laugh on the Democratic M nib .?. Washington, Sept. 19.— Representative Walker of Massachusetts believing that a picture of the House in its present condition of Democratic depletion would form a good Republican campaign document, to-day se cured the services ol two photographers to reproduce in counterfeit presentment both sides of the chamber. The photographer In the gallery above the Democratic side looked down on an array of empty seats, while the artist un the majority side directed his cam era upon a goodly number of Republican Representatives. The half-dozen Democrats present were unaware that their portraits were being taken, and the Republicans were careful to withdraw from ihe Democratic side nil the pages and door-keepers wr.o might tend to swell the Democratic repre sentation.

Washington, Sept. 19.— Acting Secretary Batchellor to-day sent to the Senate a com munication In response to Plumb's resolu tion as to the manner of paying for silver bullion. He says the checks drawn In pay ment for silver bullion pass through the New York Clearing-house, the same at other checks drawn on the Assistant Treasurer at Mew York. It was necessary, he said, at the time the law took effect to Issue notes of large denominations in payment for silver purchased, but they will soon be replaced by smaller notes. lie states that there has been no demand of any magnitude upon the Treasury for the redemption of these notes In gold coin. . . . CON Grit ESS. THE SENATE. The Bankruptcy Bill Placed on the Calendar. Measures Passed. ' Washington, Sept. 19.— the Senate Plumb's resolution to recommit the Bank ruptcy Bill to the Judiciary Committee with Instructions to amend by making it apply to voluntary bankruptcy only, was taken up, and alter discussion was placed on . the cal endar. The matter will not be brought up again this session. Voorhces introduced a joint resolution for the immediate Increase of silver money by the purchase and coinage _of 10,000,000 ounces of silver at a price below $1.2829 within tbe next thirty days, this purchase to be in addition to the amount required by the existing law. Referred to the Finance Committee. The Senate then went into executive ses sion. When the doors were reopened the Senate passed a number of bills, including the Douse bill to discontinue the coinage of S3 and $1 gold pieces and 3 cent nickel pieces. The House bill to reduce the amount of United States bonds required of national banks and restore to the channels of trade the excessive accumulations of lawful money Held in the Treasury, having been reached on the calendar, Sherman said he believed its passage would tend much to quiet even the present agitation in the money market. Undoubtedly the effect of the bill would be not only to prolong but encourage the na tional bank system. Plumb feared the bill would finally result in the eon ion of currency. While ho agreed that the national banking system, as a system of discount and deposit was wise and ought to be continued, it was plain to be seen that it was not long to be a system hav ing any relation to currency. The banks themselves wanted to get out of that busi ness. Congress could not afford to let the national bank currency disappear without supplying a currency in its place. lie be lieved the business of the country to be in greater peril than for years Irom lack of sufficient circulating medium. Power moved to stiikeout the first tion reducing to $10,000 the deposit of bouds to retain charters. , After further discussion tho bill went over till to-morrow. Senate bill for the protection of trees nnd other growth on the public domain from de struction by fire was passed. Rouse bill to define and regulate the juris diction of courts of the United States, with the amendment of the Judiciary Commit tee in the nature of a substitute, was taken up as unfinished business and went over without action. Adjourned. THE HOUSE. Another Day Spent in Futile Attempts to Transact Business. Washington, Sept. To-day was an other day of roll-calls nud filibustering in the House. The first tiling Crisp moved that yesteiday's Journal be corrected. This was laid on the table, ayes 140, roes 2, but Crisp raised the point of no quorum. The Speaker counted 104 members pit sent. Crisp challenged the correctness of the count, and the Speaker said that having taken great pains he bad no doubt about his correctness. He was informed by the door-keepe s that there were adi zen Democrats in the lobby. Crisp's motion was laid on the table, but tho gentleman fiom Georgia still protested that tellers should be appointed. The Speaker stated that the question was on the approval if the Journal, and a vote being taken resulted 102 to 2. Crisp raised the print of no quorum. The Speaker replied that De Haven of California was preseut, but had not voted, be, together with the Speaker, made ICO members present, although the Speaker was of the opinion that 164 members constituted a quorum. Crisp again challenged the correctness of tile count, and the Speaker said that no mat ter what the conduct of the gentlemen who were obstructing legislation might be, it was desirable that no mistake should be made, and therefore ordered tellers, appointing McKinley and Crisp. Dolman of Indiana was about to leave the ball when the Speaker spied him and or dered the tellers to count him. lli.linnii then, amid much laughter, passed between the tellers, who finally announced the presence of km members. Crisp made the point of order that not withstanding four vacancies existed in the membership of the House by reason of deaths 104 members did not constitute a quorum. This point was discussed at much length. The Speaker decided to adhere to the rule that ltjo members constituted a quorum. The call of the House was, therefore, or dered, and, as a few Democrats entered the chamber, the presence of 170 members was disclosed. The Speaker announced the question to be on the approval of the Journal, and it was approved. The question then recurred on ordering the previous question on. tho Langston- Venablo case. Most of the Democrats again retired, but the previous question was ordered— ayes 147, noes 7— the clerk noting a quorum. Cheadle of Indiana and Coleman of Louisiana, Republicans, voted in ihe nega tive. Cheadle moved to recommit the case. Lost —aver. 7, noes 147. The question recurring on the minority resolution declaring Langston not elected the quorum disappeared, nud the call of the Hou»e was oidered, disclosing the presence of 107 members.* The minority resolution was then rejected, and a vole was taken on the second minority resolution declaring Vennble duly elected. Lost— ayes 4, noes 155— the Speaker counting a quorum. The lirst majority resolution, declaring Venable not elected, was next in order, and agin the quorum disappeared, making a call of the liouse necessary. One more than a nun responded on lhis call, and acaiu did the quorum disappear ou the pending resolution, toe vote standing 147 to 4, and once mors was a call ordered. To this tall 104 members responded, the Republican absentees being T. M. Browne of Indiana, Butterworth, Connell, Doreey, Ewait, Fin lev, Flood, Ketcham, Knapp, Mllliken, Peters, Sweney and Wilson of Kentucky.

Fi?e Hundred Persons, Including Osman Pasha, Lose Their Lives. Part of the Ship Challenger's Crew Washed Overboard During a Hurricane. _________________________M___S__RMKB^M_> J -___________m Mail Steamer Lost. Special Dispatches to The Mobni-TO Call. . -i _>;■: London, Sept. 19.— Advices from Hiogo, Japan, state that the Turkish man-of-war Ertogroul lias foundered at sea and 500 of her crew wen; drowned. Osman Pasha and Ali Pasha, envoys of the Sultan to the Emperor of Japan, are among the drowned. Osman Pasha, whose bravo stand against the Russians at Plevna gave him a high rank as a fighting General, had been on an official visit to Japan, having been intrusted with a special mission from lite Sultan to the Mi kado. The progress of the Ertogroul since she left Constantinople for the east, many mom lis ago, has been most ludicrous. Leav ing Turkey short of money it was under stood supplies were to be sent her at the ports at which she was to coal, with the re sult that her sojourn in those countries was Indefinitely prolonged, as the officers at home were unable to keep their promises. In this way she lost some of her crew and her officers were many times on the verge of rebellion, induced by starvation, while the Governors of the cities visited refused to remit harbor dues and grant other privileges of the right due her as a Turkish man-of war, on the ground that she was sailing in a false character, as there was not powder enough on board to enable her crew to fire the regulation salutes. After many adven tures, only worthy of an opera-bouffe navy, the Ertogroul finally arrived in Japanese waters. It was on her return voyago that the disaster occuned. The Ertogroul was built at Constantino ple in 15 .3. She was a wooden steam frigato of 2314 tons' burden, 250 feet lone, 48.9 breadth of beam and had a draught of 23.6 feet. She carried an armament of twenty one 6-inch, 3-ton, and twenty -l ;_i-incli breech loading cuns. She had a horse-power of 600, and could steam ten knots an hour. O«MAM PASHA. Osman Pasha (Ghazi) was a Turkish Gen eral, born at Tokat, Asia Minor, in 1832. lie began his education in a preparatory school in Constantinople, under the su pervision of his brother, Hussian Kll'eiidi, who ' was professor of Ara bic in the, institution. He entered the army as a Lieutenant in 18j3; was ap pointed a Captain in the Imperial Guard at Constantinople at the close of the Crimean war; was created Major in 1866; Colonel in 18611, and went into the Turko-Servian war as a Brigadier-General. By an Im tcrial hade he was for gallant conduct promoted to the rank of Sluschir or Field Marshal. He served in the war between Russia and Turkey, and was at the battle tf Plevna in 1877, and for his conduct there was given the name of Ghazi, or Victorious. December 10, -1877, lie made an unconditional surrender .of Plevna to the Russians, and was made prisoner, but was released in 1878, and re turning to Constantinople was made Com mander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard. Since then he has served in different cap acities, and on December 2, 18.2, he was made Minister of War, with tho title of Seraskier. IN A HURRICANE. The Ship Ch-lleag.r Has a Terrible Experi '-.--'ence at Sea. Boston, Sept. _9.— ship Challenger of Bath, before reported, put in here in dis tress to-day. She has nothing but fore and main lower musts, with fore and main yards standing. Captain Thompson reports hav ing experienced adverse winds nearly the whole time after leaving West Hartlepool until, In the hurricane of August 31st, eight men were lost overboard and four injured. During the threatening weather just pre ceding the hurricane he shortened most of tho sails, and when the wind struck the ship all hands were aloft hauling in the others. The jibs tilbd and curried away the ji-borm top-mast and the topgallant mast, and the men were either thrown into the sea or landed ou portions of the wreckage, a few falling to the deck injured. H. C. McKeim had his left leg broken ; Thomas Quinn, two ribs fractured; Seaman Ramon, his right leg broken. Seaman Bunk was hauled In from tho sea badly bruised. The following were cast overboard and 1 st: George Britnn of Copenhagen, Thomas Gaul of Austria, Con Foresberg of Sweden, O. Oleson of Sweden, C. 11. Ludwig of Ger many, Charles Fleming of Richmond, Va., 0. Olsen of Norway, and a seaman nam. d Winvern of Germany. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the wind blew 100 miles an hour, and the furled sails were blown out of the gaskets, anil by (i. 45 o'clock in the evening the mizzen-mast was gone. Everything on deck was smashed or carried away, and the ship left in tiie condition reported above and at the mercy of the waves. The ship labored heavily in tie trough of the sea until the wind moderated at 2 o'clock in the after noon, when such men as were uninjured set about putting her in as god condition its possible. It required three days. Mean time the captain attended to the wounded. When the wreckage was cleared away sails were set on the remaining spars and the ves sel kept away for Boston, the nearest port. The hull is in gocd condition, notwithstand ing the severe straining, and she probably will be taken to Bath for repairs. A Japanese Steamer lost. London, Sept. 19.— Advices fiom Iliogo state that the mall steamer Musashi Mare was lost off Cochin, and all her crew, with the exception of one Japanese, was drowned. ABANDONED THE FIGHT. Scut-.
