2 DEPEW STIRRED THEM UP By His Utterances Relative to Home Rule AMERICANS OPPOSED TO IT So, at Least, the Anglomaniacs Profess to Believe The Liberal-Unionists Making flatters Un comfortable for the Conservatives. An Alliance Desired Associated Press Special W ire. NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Chauncey M. Depew, who arrived late last night, land ad from tbe steamer Parr:a this morning. Afterwards he received reporters in his office.at.the Grand Central railroad depot and gave an extended interview on the politics of Europe, upon his trip and a aairaclc which be witnessed at Lourdes. Mr. Depew said something of a sensa tion up among the Anglo maniacs by an interview which ne gave to the London papers. One of the ques> tions was, "What is the American idea of home rnle, and bow generally are Amer icans of one mind upon that subject?" •peaking of this Mr. Depew said: "My answer was substantially that ,aome rnle.is the corner stone of our in strtutions, and our people are practically unanimous on that subject; that there had never been any division among us as to heme rale for Ireland, and we ceutd not understand the real or manufactured fears of adoption of the policy leading to the disruption of the British empire. On the contrary, we thought the addition of the federative principle would benefit' England, Ireland, Wales and the colonies. 'That we were heartily in favor of Eng lisa speaking people leading the world, 'and willing that tne British empire shonld.bave the first place in the affairs of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, .but we would neither consent to nor per 'tnit tho control or occupation by a Euro pean power of the republics of [America. "Of the six hundred members of the house of lords all but twenty-five aro 'Conservative or Tories. Society is over whelmingly the same. 'I never had a 'Radical guest in my house,' said a proud oeer'to me. While his rule is not gen .eral, the feeling is. American residents 'in England become attached to the dom- Hnant power, ana many of them are more extreme than its leaders. Their denun ciations of home rule and views on tho '•Irish are.refreshing revelations of tbe in- ffiuence of'environment. Tbey write let ters to the papers vigorously denying my statements. "According to them I was grossly ignorant of American sentiment or a phenomenal liar. They said that.beyond the politicians and political papers con trolled by fear at the Irish voter all there is in our country which represented its intelligence, its learning and its society, is opposed to home rule and in cordial sympathy with the ideas and principles of the Tory party. Moreover; they told me personally that I would be ostracised for such talk. 'Then from the Westmins ter Oazntto came :its representative with a stenographer and a request for an in te.view. It tilled three columns of the pnp»r, and was the largest contribution of the kind yet printed in an English journal. After reiterating the, statement before given. I reinforced it by stating that the daily ami wsekly press of the 17 n I ted States, without exception, so far as I knew, had editorially supported Mr. Gladstone and -his measures; that many of tbe state legislatures had unanimously passed resolutions favoring it and that the bouse of representatives by an unani mous vote, bad received Mr. Parnell. Now our Englisa kinsman loves frankness and fair play. He is an intense partisan ana a born fighter, but he has too good an opinion of himself to like an imita tion of himself from any other country. He don't care for Anglo-Americans or Anglo-Germans or Anglo-Frenchmen or Anglo-Italians. He likes geuuiue reure sentatives of any people and is most noß pitable to them in his home and family. Certainly I did not experience any of the dreadful consequences predicted for tellling the troth. "A Conservative leader said to me, 'we Have won a great und rather embarrass ing victory, without making a pledge or promise. We bad no platfoim and no affirmative principles. We simply as saulted the incompetency of the Liberal government.' But while the Conservatives are safely in power for s'x years, the Liberal Un ionist is already making matters uncom fortable for his partner by a large pro gramme for local self government through the United Kingdom, fur a broad scheme of state socialism or paternalism, and plans more-or less vague for the benefit of what they call the laboring classes are maturing. The restless brains of Mr. Chamberlain and his friends are disturb ing the rest and comfort of the true Con servatives. Our recent trouble with the British foreign office over Nicaragua and Venezuela interest in foreign rela tions and of an adminis tration which will enforce the Monroe doctrine have created a new and unusual interest In the affairs of the United States. This is evidenced in tbe 'Times appointing Mr. Smalley as its special cor respondent and printing several columns a weeic of his cables. 'The statesmen of both parties would.like a sort of a-n often - Slive and defensive alliance with us. They want our help in Oh'na and Japan, and in tbe difficult case arising out of Russia, German and French hostility and aggressions in the East and would gladly bu.idle all American matters in our hands in exchange for such an un derstanding. ; "The strength of the Tories 'is in the Cities. They have no prohibition or tem perance reform fads or faddists, and pow srful liquor and beer interests are solidly with thorn. The London districts which return members of parliament bave five times more population and voters than the Irish districts and the one up permost idea of every Conserv ative you meet is to minimize Irish J wwer in parliament by taking away wentv-tliree seats from Ireland and giv ing most of them to London. "The English elections were remarka ble in demonstrating how little there is of Radicalism in tne democratic spirit there. This disestablishment of the Church by the state seems In accord with moderate progress, but forms the text of 'The robbery of God.' Every pulpit in the Church of L'ngland thundered against the Liberal government, and thousands who never went to church and scoffed at jeligion rallied to the ssupport of the time-honored establishment. Any measure can pass the houseof lords when , the Tories are in power, and none when the Liberals have tbe government so long as the hereditary majority exists, and yet Lord Saliebtuy distinctly challenged the cry for ending or mending the lords by filli.ig his cabinet with pee:s, two weeks before election, to triumphantly show tbat all classes of Englishmen love a lord and are overwhelmingly in favor of this middle age in nearly every repre sentative government. A large proportion of the majority elected to the house of commons are heirs to peers or connected with the families of the nobility. * "The excitement in South African gold mines equals the wildest speculations in California or Colorado boom times. Both London and Paris ar< crazy. One of the best informed bankers in Europe told me that 100 men had pocketed in cold cash in the past year J5,000,000,000 by tfie sales af shares or stock of these companies. Forty millions was won by a man who entcrod the Cape as a juggler in a circus, and is now climbing rapidly the social ladder. The stocks aro constantly lising in price and of course capitalisation, and at no distant day the babble will burst, scattering nun more widely than has been experienced for a, generation. "The singular political event in Frtlnce has bsen tin- sudden disappeaai nee of the Royal'st and the Imperialist party. A Royalist gave me the vesrion. lie said the'fear of socialism hail made his peo ple's opportunities, which is another name for Conservative Republicans, and by common consent tliey have voted that ticket. "He has mure courageously fought the Socialists than any pubiic man has dared to do, and at the elections almost anni hilated them. "I was in Germany on the twenty-lifth anniverasary of the victory of Sedan. The celebration "reminded me of the rejoicing after tbe surrender of Appomattox. Houses, stores and stables were covered with bunting. Processions.music, illum inations and every form of popular joy was universal. The enthusiasm was wild and contagious. It developed a deep seated, national and almost passionate desire for war with France now, and on any pretext, to settle forever the posses sion of Alsace-Lorraine and to scrip pie the French that they would no longer be a menace to the peace of Germany and her military establishments might be re duced. "The general verdict on the interna tional railway congress was tnat our rep resentatives were most hospitably enter tained by their English brethren, but they learned nothing from Europe which would oe useful In America." Mr. Depew told an interesting story of a young girl ho saw at Lourdes, wno bad not been able to walk for six years on ac count of a knee that was a mass of run ning sores. She was dipped in tbe spring and the sores healed and she was able to walk. Her condition before and after tbe miracle was attested to by a physician who drsssed the knee and by a medical student. Mr. Depew said in conclusion: "The general cneerfulness and gaiety of nations made this trip one of the most agreeable of my life. Both In England and on the continent there was general prosperity and abundance, unknown in years. Not only are crops good, but the world has adjusted itself more rapidly than for a decade totiie revolutions of in vention and discovery and the Instan taneous intercommunion with distunt markets. All classes ot peojiie are shin ing in the better times and are hopeful for tbe future. "Many sovereigns and chiefs of states who formerly were jiolitely inquisitive or indifferent about American affairs were eager in Ibeir desire for information about ear stocks and bonds. The success of the syndicate in placing the last issue of our government bonsls has put into many a royal treasury a miscellaneous amount of American securities." THE UNION PACIFIC FUTURE Southern and Central Pacific Matters Discussed The Union Pacific and the Central Pacific Should Be Operated as One Continuous Line OMAHA, Sept. 15.—The Bee has a col umn editorial today discussing the Pa cific railroad question and the probable solution of the intricate subject by the next eingress. The article is devoted principally to the possible future of the Union Pacific. After discussing tho his tory of the road from its inception and the imperative demands for a change, the editorial refers to the numerous efforts of railroad lings to wreck the property, and adds: "During all this time congress has been sawing wood. The officers of the federal government who should have interfered to protect the government and move for the recovery of the property diverted and stolen have not lifted a finger. The only thing attempted up to date is the suit in California against the I.eland Stanford estate, and that has already turned to a farce. "In dealing with tho Paciiio railroad debt congress should, as a preliminary step, require the union and Central Pa cific roads to be operated as one continu ous line. It should first and foremost compel the Huntington syndicate, which controls both the Southern and Central Pacific, to take hands off tho throat of tbe Central Pacific and give it a chance to do business. As it now is and nas been for years,the Central Pacific is being starved to death and the Union Pacific is being seriously crippled by the polioy which the Huntington syndicate is pur suing. Not only has there been a sys tematic diversion/of freight from the Cen tral to the Southern Pacllic,but the whole road has been so shamefully neglected as to mate it impossible lor the Union Pa cific to compete for ttie trallic from tho coast. The very latest effort to hamper the Union Paciiio is tne proposed aban donment of all but one passenegr train between Ogden and San Francisco. "At tha same time tne Southern Pa cific lias recently supplemented its pas senger train service by a new palace coach which is advertised to reduce time and afford luxurious accommodations. Now can the Union Paciiio be expected to pay operating expenses under such conditions, much less lay up a surplus to pay off its bunded indebtedness.' Something must be done by congress if the government's interest in the Pacific roads is to be protected. NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS The ."lost Influential Gathering of the Kind Ever Assembled DENVER, Col., Sept. 15.—A special to the Republican from Albuquerque, N.

SEPTEMBER 16, 1895 THE YACHT RACE IMBROGLIO Dunraven Cables to the Royal Yacht Squadron HE PLEADS JUSTIFICATION He Claims That He Did Not Go Back on the Agreement Says That a Fair Field and No Favor Is a Condition Precedent in Any Match Associated Press Special Wire. LONDON, Sept. ].">.—The letter written by Lord Dunraven under date of Septem ber 13th to the America's cup committee of the New York Yacht club, in reply to a letter from Mr. A. C. Canlield, dated September 12th, has been cabled by his lordship to the Royal Yacht squadron for their information. Tbe substance of Mr. Canfleld's letter was partly indicated by tne statement posted at New York Yacht club on Thurs day anil signed by Commodore Smith as chairman and Mr. Canlield as secretary of the cup committee. This was to the eifect thai two mombcra of the committee had orally discussed with Lord Dunra ven the propositions contained in his lat ter of September 11, on Wednesday eve ning; that they regretted not being able to reply to his letter on Thursday morn ing before the race, but as the reply would have been tho same as that conveyed orally tbe night before, they did not con aider tbe (act important that no answer had been made. Lord Dunravcn's letter of September 11. it was said, was deliver ed at the New York Caclit club at 1 a. m. on Thursday, and it was not received by them until 8 a. m. on board tbe commit tee boat. Lord Dunraven's letter dated Septem ber 13th to tbe cup committee, is as fol lows : Gentlemen:—l have the honor to ac knowledge your letter of the 12th inst. You say my letter of Wednesday night to Mr. Canlield was not delivered at tbe New V ork Yacht club until 1 a. ro. on Thursday and was not in your hands un til Ba. m, There must, I think, be some mistake. I received Mr. Cranlield's let ter at 10:20 p. m. on Wednesday. My reply was delivered by my servant at the Naw Y"ork Yacht club at 12:15 a. m. Thursday by the club clock. The steward or clerk in charge was called by tele phone at 12:30 a. m. and requested to find out if Mr. Cantielq was at the Knick erbocker club and if so, to deliver the letter at, once. The reply was that they would endeavor to find Mr. Canlield; tbat ho had but a snort time before lett the Knickdroocker club, and that he had left word that he would call at 7 a. m. to see if there was any message for nini. Tho request thitt Mr. Canlield should not open my letter of the 10th until the (Defender) protest was decided was un necessary, as the cup committeo was not hearing the request. But whether mine of Wednesday night was delivered at l'J-.15 a.m. or 1 a.m., and whether it was in the hands of the committee at 7 a.m. or S a.m., and whether mv letter of the 10th Inst, was read at 12-M p.m. or 2:)Q p.m., appears to me to be a matter uf minor importance. What is of importance, to me at any rate, is the totally unjustifiable opinion implied in your letter of the 12th inst. that in coming to tbe decision conveyed to you by my letter of tbe 10th inst. 1 went back on the agreement signed by President Smitn for the cup committee and myself. You say, "We can only regret the con ditions you named therein as absolutely necessary should not have been so pre sented when the agrccmnt to the terms was formulated." Permit me to observe that I named no particular conditions as indispensable, as you will perceive on referring to the let ter. I hold that in any match a fair held and no favor is a condition precedent to any agreement as to the terms, and failing in that, any party has a perfect right to withdraw absolutely or uncondi tionally. The articles of agreement can not, and ara not intended to, lay down lixed rules to meet every imaginable con tingency. Certain contingencies have arisen, as you are aware. Confining my self to the subject of my letter on over cruwding. known as far back as October Ist, I wrote concerning the difficulty of insuring a clear course; but I did not in sist upon any views, because I thought tbe persons responsible should be free to take the steps that they thought best in the matter. "In view of their failure in this respect it might have been better, if, in my let tctr of the 10th. I had absolutely with drawn, but my desire to sail off the races was great and 1 withdrew conditionally anil suggested the steps which I thought would remove the difficulty. These steps were not taken, and I held to my deter mination to sail no more, and in so act ing I emphatically deny that I went back in any way on tbe agreement as to the term s. "I did not know whether Mr. Canlield and Mr. Husk officially represented the committee when they came to see me at the YValdorf. I judged by their con versation that they did not, and I under stood from them that the committee had come to definite conclusions upon the letter. I now can see from your commu nication that they were otficialy repre senting the committee. In that case the proposal made by tho committee was that 1 should withdraw from the determina tion expressed in my letter of the 10th. and tbat I should sail in the third and possibly the iinal race on condition tbat sufficient room was secured at tbe start, and that in any further races my sugges tion tbat the dates for the races and that the time of starting should not be made public should cc carried out. That proposal did not commend itself to me. No one denied the overcrowding of the course. But in ray case, either my com plaint was, in the opinion of the com mittee, unjustifiable, in which case I could not have agreed with them and should have withdrawn, oeing fully con vinced of the necessity and prepared to take the full responsibility for doing so; or it was justifiable, in which latter case the committee, 1 think, was bound to give redress before the next race was sailed. 1 so far wiihdiew my letter of the 10th inst. as to say tbat I would sail tbe race if the committee would undertake to de clare the race void if in their judgment either vessel was interfered witli by the steamers. In putting anybody they liked aboard tlia yachts, I was willing to leave tbe matter in their hands, stipulat ing only that they present nn experienced and practical yachtsman on board the ValKyrie. As"far as I am concerned 1 have no wish to continue the discussion, which you accurately describe as super fluous, and will conclude by expressing regret that if any desire to re-sal! Thurs day's race was known to exist the regatta committee did not older it re-sailed, un der article 10 of the New York Yacht cluD's regulations. Whatever my opinion as to tbe cause of tbe foul may be I should have beon at the disposal of the committee; and tbat the cup committee could not see its way clear to adopting what seems to us the simpler course of aMMStiaf the latter • yesterday and postponing tho race until snoh time as they arrived at a definite conclusion up on my letter of tbe loth List. I have the honor to remain, very faith full Iv, Signed) DUNRAVEN. The Future of Yacht Racing NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—A special to the World from Stamford, Conn., says: Commodore Smitli was interviewed at bis home tonight. He laid I "I am per fectly justified in saying there will be mi more races between Defender and Val kyrie. That is positive, The onl* ob ject of the meeting l .-iday night was to talk over the late match and see if it was possible to have them re-sail. It was de cided that tb"y could not la' re-sailed. "The unsatisfactory end of tho cup races will not necessarily pol an end to international yacht racing. Tbe New York Yacht club course Is tne best out side course in the world excepting none, 't he people ought to see the race for the America s cup. It was won with the world looking on—the world has watched all the races. To sail races in secret would hold the custodians of the cup up to uni versal contempt." THE ROOSEVELT L'KASE OBEYED The Principal Clubs of New York With Closed Bars NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—For the first time In the history of New York a arink could not be had at the liar at the princi pal clubs of this city today. The action of President Roosevelt and tho police commissioners In deoidiug to stop, as far as they were able, the sale of IntOZloating drinks in the clubs in violation of the law met with general success, almost all of them, through their board of govern ors, instructing tho employees not lo open the liars today. At tho City club, where it was expected a test was to lie made, the clerk said that the bar was open as usual, that they were running in the same way as on previous Sundays, but tnat there was no member in the city, so it was not possible to sell any thing. A clubman furnished the following list of clubs that had their oars open today : "The Century, of which Bishop Pot ter is at the head; the Manhattan, the Union League, of which T. R. Roosevelt and Mayor Strong arc members - the Me tropolitan, (the millionaires' olub); the Knickerbocker and the Union. The Republican and Demoeratin and the Players' clubs were closed today ac cording to the same man. THE SPORTING FRATERNITY The Field, (he Diamond and the Prize Ring The Eidoioscope Not to Be Permitted at the Corbett—Fltzsimmons Fight. College Football NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Thete has been contention among the principals in the Curbeit-Fitzsimmons fight over the pro ceeds from side channels of revenue. Fltesijußtani bus stated that there was an jiugrpeiniit by which Corbett, Brady and Ycndig were to receives the proceeds of tbe eidoioscope privilege and has threatened not to light unless he was given a share. Joe Vendig of the Florida Athletic club said tonight: "I would like to say, Mr. Brady or F'itzsimmons notwithstanding, tnat in view of the fact that the Florida Athletic club has offered C'orhett and Fitzsinimons a purse of $41,1)00 to light for, that the club feels that if there are privileges from which a proiit will be reaped when the fight comes off at Dallas that; these belong to the olub. "In reference to the report 'circulated that I am interested in the matter and that tne eidoioscope will take a picturo of the fight at Dallas, I will say that I am not interested in tiiat invention and that tho eidoioscope will not be permitted to bo brought into the building the day of the light."

Dan Stuart says tbat tbe picture privilege bad been sold to W. A. Brady when the ar.teles of agreement were signed. The other privi leges are his own and he would not sur render a part of them to anyone, no mat ter what the consequences.

The (ire department succeeded in con lining the tinmen to one room, but the loss by water was heavy. The theory of the officers is that, burglars were rumag ing in the house, and overturned a lamp. Sunday morning the fruit dryer and all its equipments of E. U. Cianon, hall a mile west of Woodland, was totally de stroyed by lire. The lire was probably incendiary. Two weeks ago he was warned by anonymous letters not to em ■ ploy Chinese. Ho had sold the crop on the trees, and paid no attention to the letters. His loss is about $1800, almost covered by insurance.
