CAPT. PHELAN KILLED.
A BLOODY AFFRAY IN NEW YORK.
The Famous Irishman Stabbed at
O'Donovan Rossa's Office--An
Ante-Mortem Statement.
Ntw YofiK, Jan. 'J. At 1 o'clock this after
noon several iinu ruslied out of No. 12
Chambers i-trett, in which building is located
the otlieo of O' Donovan Kaa and the
1'n.itul Irishman. In a fe seconds after
ward a man covered with blood, tottered
down stairs to the hallway, and sank on the
walk in a stream. Most intense excitement at
front stoop, w hile his blood covered the side
once took place and crowds flocked to the
scene. Several officers rushed up, and,
seeing a few men making toward Chambers
street, City Hall place, followed them. One
of them, a tall man, wus captured and
brought back to where the dyiujj man was
Ijiiii. Is this the man who
stabbed you?" linked the officer. "Yes,
that's the man," said the bleeding man, 'but
by Heavens if lam t'oioi,' to die I'll die
k' line and there will be two of us.M With
that, and before the bystanders could real
ize his intentions, he drew a rovjlvor aud
tired two shots in rapid succession nt the
man standing before him. One of the balls
took etTeCt in the thih of his would-be-murderer.
This still further increased the
excitement, and the neighborhood became
wild with all sorts of rumors. The man
who was stabbed proved to be
Captain Thomas 1. Phelan, of Kansas
City, a'ed forty-nine. His assailant, who
he says stabbed him, ave the name of Rich
ard Short, tJl Tenth avenue. An ambulance
Was summoned and l'helan was taken to the
Chamber's street hospital iu a dyin con
dition. He is tabbed in the neck and
breast and other places. There were rumors
that he ave away some of the secrets of the
Fenian Organization. A printer named
Smidt, who has a composing-room on the
same lloor, next to Kossa's office, said: "I
was standing at my work when I sud
denly heard a noise in Kossa's
office like the upsetting of tables,
followed by loud and angry words and
curses. This continued for some seconds,
when something heavy was thrown against
the wall, a man cried out something that
sounded like 'Help but I am not sure
whether that was tho word or not. Then the
door was banged open nnd four men ran
down stairs, each trying to push the other
out of his way. Blood was trickling down
tho face of the last man. They were
half-ay down the stairs when the
man with blood trickling down his
face got the lead of the others.
I then ran to and opened the window to our
office, which looks out on Chambers street.
Then I saw a man with blood on his face on
the sidewalk put his hand to his pocket, pull
out 11 revolver and lire at one of the men.
He must have been s.hot because he pulled
up his coat, placed his hand to his back and
stumbled forward as if he was going to fall.
A policeman on the corner caught him by
the shoulder and arrested him." "Did you
see O'Donovan Hossa among the four men?"
T can't say that I did." "Was Joyce one of
them?" "I don't know him." "Do you
think you could tell the other two men if you
saw them?" "No." Moses Trice, of 73
llayard street, was standing on the sidewalk
and telling some of the crowd how the shoot
ing occurred. A policemau near by heard the
remarks and took l'rice to the station to hold
him as a witness. The iolice claim to have
a letter from Kossa to the wounded man,
telling him to come on to New York to las
office, that he liad important business for
him to attend to. l'helan was asked if he
wauted a minister or priest. "No," he replied
"I don't want anybody, don't be'ieve in any
religion; am a follower of Ingersoll." The
news of the stabbing and shooting spread
rapidly, and inquiries were made on all sides
as to who 1'heian and Short were, l'helan
appeared to be known to many men as iden
titied with the Irish revolutionary move
ments. Kossa was condemned by a number
of his compatriots for giving publication in
his paper this week to an interview printed
in tho Kansas Cit; Journal, purport
ed to be had with Phelan, giving
a detailed account of the operations
of dynamiters in England. Threats were
made against Rossa's Life, and it was said
his immediate friends had determined to
form a body guard to protect him. Short
was said to have come to this country in 1KS2,
aad shot at Jim McDermott in Captain Ryan's
bar-room in Chambers street. Ho is said to
be a native of Cork. Ho was one of the
principal leaders of tho movement directed
by O'Donovan Rossa. Tho long interview in
tho Kansas City Journal, published
by Phehm lately, said that in
June, lNNif Captain Phelan started
on a voyage to Ireland. His absence was
made notable by tho fact that during his so
journ in Ireland Carey, the informer, alias
"Power," was shot by Patrick O'Donnell.
'I he description given by O'Donnell tallied
almost identically with that of Cnpt. Phelan,
and for several days it was believed here that
O'Donnell was an alias for Phelan, and that
the Captain himself had been selected to kill
Carey. Capt. Phelan return. 1 safe, but
narrowly escapes! being transported for life.
In an interview he gave nn account of an
attempt to blow np tho steamer "Queen" nt
her Liverpool dock, also of nn attempt to
blowup tho Caledonian railway station at
Glasgow, and mentioned the names of tho
men engaged in these chemes. He
also gave away tho manner in
which tho mechanical forcp were nspd.
l'helan was one of the originators of the
skirmishing fund nnd was at one time sus
pected of being tho famous "number one"
mentioned by tho informer Carey in his evi
dence. Ho has bn an Irish Nationalist ftH
his life and has alwav been prominent in
Irish revolutionary matter. Short is -aid to
be one of tho Irishmen driven to America by
tho treachery of J a me McDermott. of Brook
lyn, who is novr Ixdieved to bo in tho pay of
the British irovernment a a spy.

Trouble in South America.
Buenos Ayuis, via Galveston, Jan.!'. The
financial difficulty here has become greatly
complicated. The demand for drafts on
Europe and the general want of confidence
of commercial houses have produced grave

A BILL FOR MICHIGAN
IN THE NATIONAL LEGISLATURE.
Michigan Congressmen Get the House
Committee to Agree to Report a
Bill in Land Grant Cases.
Detloxt, Jan. 9. A dir.iatch to the AW
says: The delegation of Michigan land own
ers that is here trying to secure a modifica
tion of a recent ruling of the Secretary of
the Interior with reference to certain land
entries are making good progre. Messrs.
May bury and Cutcheon have secured Shak
er Carlisle's promise to recognize them at
an early day on this subject. This morning
Messrs. Maybury and Cutcheon apjeared
before the House Public Lands Committee
and made an argument in favor of the com
mittee at once reporting the bill covering the
points involved.
It seems that in 18G2 a law was passed fil
ing the price to be paid for public lands at
per acre. Before that time the law
required that all public lands reopened by
the government after the withdrawal of the
grant should be through executive order, and
the land be sold at public auction. When
the law fixing the price paid for lands of this
character was passed, the department ruled
that it was no longer necessary to dispose
of the land by public auction, as the price
could not be changed. Under this ruling
over 5,000,000 acres in Michigan alone have
been entered by homesteaders and oth
ers. A short time ago, however, a party
made an entry on another man's land,
claiming his title to be void, as the law had
not been complied with. On an appeal to
Secretary Teller the point was sustained,
which makes all entries for the last twenty
tive years practically void. Since Secretary
Teller's decision over 400 applications have
been made at the land office at Marquette
by would-be homesteaders. The Marquette
agent has refused to issue patents, but the
cases have been appealed to Secretary' Teller,
and, to be consistent with his former ruling,
he must sustain their claims. Messrs. May
bury and Cutcheon desire to relieve the sec
retary from his embarrassment.
The Public Lands Committee, after listen
ing to their arguments, decided to report the
following bill at the earliest opportunity and
ask its immediate consideration:
'That wherever offered lands have been
heretofore, withdrawn from sale or disposi
tion by the United States by reason of grants
made to aid in the construction of railroads
or other works of internal improvements,
such withdrawals having been terminated by
executive order, or by act of Congress; or
where lands have been directed to be re
duced in price to $1.25 per acre, officers of
the Land Department have, allowed en
tries, locations or selections of the same, and
have issued certificates or patents thereon
without such lands having again been pro
claimed by the President offered at public
auction, vhereon (blank) day there wore no
conflicting claims on record thereto, all such
entries, locations, selections, certificates and
patents issued thereon, and all other sales at
private entry which are regular in all re
spects except as to time, entry or amount of
purchase money paid, are hereby confirmed
and declared to be valid and legal.
"That wherever lands gave been sold or
disposed of by officers of tho Land Depart
ment, as set forth in the preceding section,
there were conflicting claims thereto on
record, the Secretary of the Interior is here
by directed and required to ascertain by
hearing before the proper district land of
ficers, in the usual manner, with full notice
to all parties interested, the facts
in regard to all such entries, locations or
selections, and all claims of any kind assert
ed to any such lands prior to said date, and
to report the testimony so taken to Congress
at its next session, together with a full state
ment of the action in his department relat
ing thereto and his recommendation as to
what legislation, if any, is necessary in the
premises."

Wailakd, Jan. K 'J he Grange htorr in
this village ua burglarized on TlledHy
night and goods to the h mount of
taken. The thieves gained an entrance by
forcing the lock on the front door. From
the manner of doing the work it is evident
that they were experts. No package or
wtajons were taken that would be liktly to
have any mnrks on them that would enable
the goods to l identified if found. Mr.
Smith, the proprietor, offers for the re
covery of the goods and the detection of the
thieves. No traces of them have us tt been
obtained. The young people of the De
ri pie Church on Friday evening will
give a concert assisted by A. M. McCollisU r,
of Kalamazoo. The proceeds are to be de
voted to paying for the organ latelj pur
chased by thtm for the Use of that church.
Hicks A: Clark have just obtained con
tracts for bent works, m that they are en
abled to start their works again which hate
been idle for fcome time. This will give tm-
Jloyrneut to a number of needy men.
ohn Houtel.of Culadoniatdation, has leased
the Occidental of Win. Seaver and will
shortly assume control of the hotel part of
the house. Shutter Gunn has gone to the
exposition at New Orleans. V. H. Schuk
and Arthur Lincoln are intending to Mart
next week. Postoffice hunters are buiy
getting autographs. If it would not be too
personal we would intimate that buckrkin
will lat longer than foolscap. More than
one edition maybe needed. The joung
folks for many miles around find our skat
ing rink an easy place to while away time
and spend money.

New Youk, Jan. 9. Jt ha- been decided
