Places of Historic Interest Visited by the Amer ican Squadron of Evolution. Tort Maiion, Minorca, Jan. 23. On the afternoon of the 20th the American squad ' ron of Evolution left Cartagena and pro ceeded to this port. It was the intention of the admiral to land the battalions of the different vessels for field exercise, but hav ing failed to securo ponnission from the Spanish authorities, the scheme has, un fortunately, fallen through. At Cartagena low life and wretchedness are everywhere apparent, and there is not a respectable building in the place. A visit to the ar senal does not inspire enthusiasm irfthe naval mind. It contains a fine rope-walk and plant j for the manufacture of projectiles and the repair of iron-work, but there is nothing which will com paro favorably with similar establishments in our own navy-yards. From the top of '.the old fortress, bnilt on a commanding po sition in the center of tho city, there is a -line view of the surroundings of Cartagena. Hut one looks on nothing but uncultivated Viand and bleak, low hills. A walk around the old walls is interesting on account of the ancient guns which are still mounted ttwo of them with the muzzles blown off. - The harbor and modern fortifications are of b"th bcrt, and the surrounding country is .'rich in various minerals. There are be 'tween sno and 400 mines in active opera tion. There are few evidences of prosper ity or enterprise. After a pleasant run of forty-two hours, at an average speed of eight knots, we an chored in the harbor of Tort Mahon, capi tal of Minorca. The harbor is finely shel tered and the aspect of tho country pleas 'ant. The buildings are beautifully t white, .nd the scene is refreshing, ) after the barrenness of Cataeena. It was liere. it will be remembered, that a commo i lore's son made the terrific leap from the main truckof the "Old Ironsides" to the blue .'depth below. Our own Farragut's father v was born some four miles from here, and 7 the Admiral himself visited hert on his ; Jast memorable cruse in the Franklin. Tho I ovation he received ought not to be forgot ften by Americans, and is not, if we are to judge from the hearty manner onr boys xrp.it inhabitants and old boatmen. The squadron has had plenty of drill 'eince its arrival here, and its crews, at the Vpresent moment, will fasorably compare ."with the beat of any navy. Yesterday, wbea the general signal, "Clear ships for (action." was run aloft on the flagship, it 'was impossible not to admire the seaman l-like manner inwhich tho different evolu tions were executed. Down came top-gal-Slant mats, yards, boats, stanchions, and jginger-bread work with astonishing rapid fity, and in thirty minutes the ships had as sumed, a tierce and business-like aspect -v"with guns pointed for concentrated tire, ifend torpedo launches surrounding them like satellites. In the afternoon the gon eril signal "Arm, and away all 'boats for cutting out," was hoisted. ' and every boat in the squadron was armed and equipped, and proceeded alongside the Hag-ship for inspection by the commander-in-chief. Admiral Walker is very strict concerning boat-drill, and all arrangements connected with it have to be ' carried out in the most thorough manner. One of the principal objects of the squadron of evolution, he maintains, is to build up and perfect a system of drill suitable for the mighty weapons of the day a scientific eystem. and. in addition, to tlnd substi tutes for the obsolete spar and sail-drills, which shall maintain in an equal degree the tone and temper of the men, their morals and physical vigor. It is obvious gun drill, in itself, will not accomplish this, therefore hardy exercise in boats is re sorted to. TIXNER FATS STORY. Alleged Interview with the AberdeenTictim He Is a Democrat, and Is Tired of the Tubs. Louisville, Feb. 8. A special to the Courier-Journal from Lexington, Tenn., gives an interview whh II. J. Fanz, the alleged victim of violence at Aberdeen, Mis., and about whom so much has been said in the United States Senate recently. Fanz says: 'I am working at my trade here. My former home was Fort Wayne, Ind.; have lived in the South since 1S7S; went to Aberdeen last October. A few days after the death of Jefferson Davis, in December, I went up on the roof of a build ing one morning to work and found a rope which I untied. Did not know then it was tho one which held the effigy of Secretary Proctor of the Navy, which the people had hung. When I camo down at noon I learned that it nad been reported that I had said no efiigy should be bung while I was in town. Will McDonald, a brick layer, asked me about it, and struck me across the nose and eye, inflicting a slight wound. 1 concluded to leave the town. Tho Mayor came and asked me to stay, promising me protection. Citizens also asked me not to leave. I went oil' on the night train. I learned McDonald camo to the depot to talk to xno, but did not see him. I did not think much of it. and see no cause for all this fuss which has been raised. I am a hot-headed Democrat." Fanz has had as yet no communication from Attorney-general Miller, nor any other authorities. Ho says he don't want to hear any more about it. mm Korn with but One Arm.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 8. President Fitz gerald, of the Irish National League, to day issued the following address to that organization: To the Officers and Members of the Irish National League, of America: Since the Inception of the present Irish move rnent, now nearlnff its hour of final triumph or sore defeat, the Irih exiles and their children In America hare been the chief upjort and main stay or the natiouaL struggle. 'I he continuous financial assistance rendered from the United States and Canada to the people and leaders of Ireland has been the result of organization. The munificent aggregate created by the many con tributory btream. of Irish-American generosity could never have been attained had the move ment depended on the uncertainty of spasmodic local action. Our enemies have recognized the tremendous force of organized effort as a moat potent aid to the Irish cause, and they are now exercising all their ingenuity and utilizing their Immense resources to destroy and nullify its influence by trying to create disorgan ization and distrust among the friends of Ire land. Fecret-Mervice money is being expended and subsidized agents are employed to scatter inuendoes, to make fal.e allegations, and, by every artifice, to disseminate slanders in order to disrupt Irish national organization In Amer ica, lie the Impelling motive what It may, a hostile press is being utilized in this country to supplement the unscrupulous, but defeated, ef forts of the London Times to discredit not only the national officers of tho American League, but the trusted and able leaders of the move ment in Ireland, whom, till now, you have so loyally obeyed and so generously supported. The Chicago Times of the i!d inat, says editor ially: "Hold no convention is the advice to the executive of the National League in America from the gentlemca over the sea, but 'send us more money. As to the money part, that has been the cry from time immemorial feLace 1880 the one agency of the league alone has collected a quarter of a million of money, and the demand is for more. Men who are living as members of the isritish Parliament on funds raised In Amer ica, and living on the fat of the land, or gossip does them great Injustice, will naturally ery with tho horse-leech's daughter, 'give, give." In tho Chicago Herald ot the same day we read: "The programme of the League on both sides of the ocean is identical and unmistakable. More funds and leas investigation Is the cry everywhere. No convention for tho next three years, and l'amell wants none for the present. " Nothing is so delightful to the free handed patriots wbom Ireland sends to this country a to lay aside their earnings until tbey accumulate enough to buy a draft, and then Mow the whole amount into the hands of a lot of irresponsible professional agitators for unknown purposes." Urother Irishmen, is not this the language of the London Times and the Tory organs, that for generations hare been spitting their contempt upon every effort of the Irish people to amelio rate the condition of their country. Does it not seem as if the Piggott-Flanagan hirelings, battled In England, had transferred their vile operations to America! In this emergency wo rely upon your manhood, your devotion, your common sense not to be misled by Salisbury's reptile press, his subsidized priest rcvilers, and thoe stormy petrels of factiou who are now trying to demoralize your ranfrs. Rest assured that the ignominous defeat of the London Times will be the fate of its puny Imitators on this side of the Atlantic. The time has come to appeal to our better nature and to have confidence in ourselves. Tho Irish people in Ireland are setting us a grand ex ample. They are conducting themselves with a zeal, a dignity and a discipline unprecedented in the annals of the , human race. Generous as your contributions hare been, noble as have been yoursacrlnces and magnificent your efforts, they are far from equaling, under like circum stances, the manifestation of theso qualities by the people of Ireland. Mr. Fitzgerald then recounts tho contri butions from the Irish peasantry to the tenants defense fund ana their inability to raise the necessary amount to continue the fight against the landlords. He then says: Will we refuse them succor in this their most generous sacrifice on the altar of liberty! Most of us have had cruel experience of the inlqui tlous system of land tenure in Ireland, and no Instructive words of mine are needed to apprise you of the crucial exigency of the hour. I look to you confidently to move to the support of your kith and kindred in their gallant struggle against the famine-breeding system of Irish landlordism. Looking back upon their noble past, what think you would not tho Irish people do for us were ever situations reversed! Re member with what promptness poor starving Ireland contributed from her poverty to the re lief of the stricken victims of the Johnstown flood. Gratitude is a virtue Indigenous to the Irish disposition, and indwelling in their Irish hearts. The mite that you contribute will be your bread castrupon the waters, of which you may securely anticipate a return. Therefore I exhort you in your individual and associated ca pacifies to make one more offort for Irish free dom. Let every branch of the league reassert and bestir itself, and let each individual deter mine to do his part. Your Indefatigable treasurer has shown to the world a manifest of honesty and economy that disarms criticism and enlists enthusiasm. Wo need not assure you that your every contribu tion will be faithfully delivered to Its rightful destination from his clean and trusted hands. Re not dismayed by your limited capacity to contribute. The 25 cenu have been as faith fully entered upon his ttooks as the $10,000 re mittances. Anonymous contributions have been iuiiMJSsible to answer, but have been no less care fully credited. Of this our auditing committee are unimpeachable witnesses. If, therefore. there lives in your hearts a love for Ireland; if a generous Inspiration still animates you for the people at home; if the brave traditions of your name and race still abide with you, of all of which I have no doubt, I feel sure you will not Hag In the contest, now that the closing fight is upon us. A general eleotlon in (Jreat Britain is Impend Ing. With us are marshaled the Liberal hosts ot Kngland, Wales and Scotland, led by the 'grand old man." whose marvelous vigor is sustained by the inspired consciousness of coming victory. I'urnell. the sagacious and unswerving leader, maintains unassailable his touch upon the minds and hearts of our devoted people. Sacrifices will be demanded of them and us to meet this supreme emergency so as to preserve and even strengthen the integrity of irisn renre sentation to the British Parliament. Two years at the most, and possibly two months, will bring us face to face with the crisis. In this, the last ordeal that your patriot ism may be called uion to undergo, we, our selves, the liberal masses of Great Britain, and the people of Ireland confidently rely upon you. Therefore, I entreat you, as honest, loyal sup- sorters of the cause of Ireland, eschewing all ocal issues. Ignoring all distinctions of Amer can national politics, to rally lu your Integrity and associate in your might, and again give us practical evidence of your devotion to Jhe dear old land. All remittances sent to the national treasurer from branches of the league now in existence or that may be formed, and all subscriptions from individual will be directly acknowledged, and duly credited to the contributors. The assembling of the national convention we have so anxiously desired Is presently postponed by Mr. Parnell and tho Irish leaders. In view of this postponement and for the transaction of im portant business, tho national executive com mittee is summoned to meet at bt. Louis on Wednesday, April lfi. 1M0.

The Scramble for "Quarter-Sections in the Sioux Reservation Town-Site Squabbles. Chamberlain, S. Dm Feb. 8. The crowd continues to pour into tho city in antici pation of the opening of the reservation, and excitement is at fever heat. They are all in readiness to move at a moment's notice. This morning a party headed by Tom Ball attempted to cross the river and establish homes in the bottom on the west side of ihe river, but they wero promptly es corted back by Indian Agent. Anderson, with tho assistance of his Indian police. The Sionx bill gives'1 the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul Railroad Company 040 acres of land on this bottom for railroad purposes, and while the tract con tains much more ground than this there will be su immense rush for the tract for town-site purposes. A large number of persons held a meeting this att ernoon for the purpose of perfecting a plan for acquiring title to the valuable tract by town-site entrv. Many others will attempt to homesUad it, and an interesting scram ble will take place when the proper mo ment arrive. Many settlers have con structed small shanties and loaded them on wagons, together with provisions and sup plies of various kinds, and when the land is thrown upon the market they will only have to find a choice quarter upon which to plant it. Every detail that can possibly be executed, in order to expedite prompt action is being carried out, and 6ome mighty sharp work will bo seen when the proclamation is issned. A hard light will also be made for the town site immediately north of the city in the Crow creek reservation. This tract was thrown upon the market by executive order of President Arthur, but later with drawn from the pubhs dor ain by. Presi dent Cleveland. The land immediately adjoins the city on the north, and is prac tically a part of Chamberlain. When pre viously placed upon the market a party of to wn-siters made settlement simultaneously with the residence of Captain King as a homesteader. The present Sioux bill now gives this land to the Milwaukee railroad for railroad purposes, and a warm three cornered tight will be made for possession. The crowd is reasonably orderly, but fre quent reports of tho issuance of the procla mation causes great excitement. Tho weather is favorable, the ground being perfectly clear of snow, and as the bridgo of ice in the Missouri re mains nrrn a crossing can be easily made. The troops ordered by Agent An derson have not yet arrived. United States Marshal Fry will arrive to-morrow. Every nay a delay but increases the crowd great ly and adds to tho possibilities for bitter strife when tho land is finally opened to settlement. The Milwuakee road also is not idle, but is bringing in large quanti ties of material for tho purpose of ircreas- ing tne terminal iaciuties in this city. They have also chartered the steamer Last Chance, and ordered her remodeled into a transfer to be used as soon us the bridge of ice gives way. A BURGLAR'S FRUITLESS CRIME.

Mr. Floyd refused to give rr "V 1 . J 1 1 1 .1 up bis money, and was struck with a club on the back of the head, lhoburelar also fired two shots at him. He became uncon scious from tho effects of the blow, and re members no more of what occurred. On regaining consciousness he found his wife lying dead on the tloor. in a pool of blood. There were several gashes on her head, nud she had been shot once in the body. Tho Biblo from which she had been reading was still clasped in her hands. It was evident that she had not had tune to protect herself or to ilee from the murderer. The house had been ransacked, but nothing had been , taken. The burglar had probably become terrified by his awful deed, and had hurried away without securing and booty, lhere were two certified checks, amounting to 2.275. and $275 in cash left untouched in a burean drawer. Mr. Floyd had received tho money yesterday morumg ior larm proauce ana wooa, ana it is thought the ourglar and murderer kuew of this, and expected to obtain a large amount of money.

Ed Findlay is a politician and one of the best known sporting men in the West. Joseph Carr is a private detective, whom Findlay long ago discovered dogging his footstops. . Findlay caused his ar rest on a charge of Attempted robbery, as Carr stoppt-d him on the ttrct at 1 o'clock in the morning, and acted suspi ciously.

Cardinal Pecci. brother of the Pope, who has been ill for several days with pneumonia, died this afternoon. Cardinal Guiseppe Pecci was the elder brother of Pope Leo XIII, and a member of the order of Cardinal Deacons, titular of tho Church of St. Agata, in Suburra, who was born at Carpineto, of a rich and noble house, Dec. 13, 1807, and entered the Society of Jesus, becoming professor of philosophy at the Komau College. In this chair, which he occupied till 1651, Father Pecci made a high reputation, producing several works on the philosophical system of St. Thomas Aquinas, which were widely read and dis cussed, but drew upon him the disapproval of his superiors. Being unwilling to teach the newer doctrines it was desired to base on "tho Angel of School's' writings, Father I'ecci left the order and became a minutanto in the library of the Vatican, in which hum file employment he continued till his broth er s election to the pontihcate. .Leo XIII valued his counsel highlv. and intrusted hiiu.with several delicate mis sions, which he conducted successfully, such as securing the submission of the illus trious Father Curci and inducing the dying 1 A ' A '11! 1 ! scientist oipecnu to disavow nis act in signing an address to Dr. Dollinger. May 12, 1S71, the Pope raised his brother to the cardinalate. The elevation by a new Pontitf of his near blood relative when he has one in the church is not customary. Unless we are in error this is the sole case in which the members of the Sacred College are per mitted to volunteer an opinion as to who should be added to their body. The Pope was. however, disinclined to do an act which might look like nepotism, and his brother shrank from the honors and dig nities attached to the purple till the cardi nals repeated their recommendation in an urgent manner. Though the senior of his illustrious brother Cardinal Pecci looked much younger. He was a simple and modest man, a book hunter of the most enthusiastic kind, and the highest living authority in all matters connected with the Thomist philosophy. Other Deaths. New Aliiaxy, Ind..
