Wilson, Rev. \ John Conway, Bishop Foss, Rev. M. D. Shutter, Col. 11. C lienton and Key. Me- Golrick Speak.. Thirtieth Anniversary of Plymouth Church— Meeting of the l*o lice Commission. COERCION DENOUNCED. I'lie Sentiments of lire Minneapolis People on the llatcit Bill. Minneapolis turned out en masse last light to protest against the coercion bill bow pending in the English parliament. The demonstration was a remarkable one. It was composed not by any means totally ii Irishmen, but of citizens of all nationali ties, and the' expression of indignation against the outrageous bill voiced in the speeches and resolutions adopted came from liberty-loving citizens who, without distinction of nationality, politics or station, united in protesting against the tyranny. The meeting was pre ceded by a procession, which served the double purpose of furnishing an out-door demonstration and an escort for Gov. Mc- Uill and the party of distinguished citizens of St. Paul who accompanied him. The procession consisted of SidwelPs band, the Hibernians and divisions 1. 9 and 8 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Harmonia hall had been tilled to its utmost capacity long before the arrival of the procession. On the stage sat the following prominent citizens: Hon. E. M. Wilson, Rev. James MeG olrick. Col. R. C. Benton, Hon. C. D. O'Brien, Hon. C. A. Pillsbury, Rev. Robert Chirk, Rev. James O'Reilly, Rev. M. D. Shutter. Rev. John Conway, Bishop CD. Foss, A. N. Jor- Jau. Rev. P. A. Dinahan, Rev. Kenny, Hon. W. D. Washburn. T. S. King, J. C. Worrell. J. J. McHale called the meeting to order »nd requested Mayor Ames to come forward md act as temporary chairman. The men tion of the mayors name drew out a round of applause, but he had found it impossible to be present. gov. m'GHX was then introduced, and was cordially greeted. He said: It is a great honor to be allowed to preside over this meeting, and I thank you for it. The coercion law now before the British par liament has no friends in Minnesota, lam glad to say. The cause of the Irish people is a great one, and it is only a question of time when it will prevail. The history of Ireland has been full of tears and sorrow, but the disposition is now towipa away those tears and give the people their right. The people of Ireland ask the right to make her laws and govern her, but the England Tories tell them that they are. not able; but we know they are.tor if there is any one thing that an Irishman is capable of it is of running 1 the government. I believe that under the leadership of Parnell, supple mented by the aid of the great statesman, William Gladstone, the Irish people will soon regain their freedom. '.'■"" J. J. McHale was elected secretary and a committee was appointed to draw up res olutions. Seth Abbott, the father of the noted songstress, Emma Abbott, was called on and sang" 'La Marsailles," which was re ceived with thunders of applause. ' c. d. O'BRIEN, ex-mayor of St. Paul, was introduced. He •said: No Irishman can refuse to speak at such a meeting, and therefore I am proud to stand here. This occasion is a notable one. Never until now have we taken a hand in the ac tions ot the English people, but things are now in such shape that we feel that we must raise our voices in protest against the great injustice. The crisis has now come, and it remains to be seen -whether we will be allowed to have any freedom in Ireland, ,or . not. If we arc- men we will riot be crushed out, and we are men. For years past the people of Ireland have been denied the right to earn a living, and now the British parliament is trying to make it a crime lor the Irish people to ask Al mighty -'<30d""M« allow them to live. The people there are afraid of the law, for they are coming to the United States every day in order to escape the tyranny of the English government. Irishmen have done their duty by this country — which has given them pro tection and furnished them homes — and now it is right that the people of the United States should show their opinion of the obnoxious English voices in a thorough manner. If the English government passes this coercion bill they will only hasten the day that will make the greatest lesson of an Englishman's life. EUGENE M. WILSON. We are here to-night to send out our sympathy across the broad waters to a suf feriug people. It was only a century ago that we ourselves became free and our own masters, and it is right that we send our sympathy to Ireland. On top of its other out rages, the English government now proposes to suspend trial by jury, and to abolish the habeas corpus right, thus going back to the time when you would have Jefferies for a judge and Titus Oakes for a witness. All that Ireland asks is the right to govern herself, and I am glad to see that even Can ada is divided in regard to the land tenure law. For the last 100 years the Irish people have been growing poorer and poorer owing to the land laws. The impression has gone out that it was only Catholics who were down-trodden; but this is not so, as many a Protestant in Ireland has laid down his life in defense of Ireland's cause: It is against these oppres sions that the Irish are protesting, and a gainst which Gladstone is laboring. REV. JOHN CONWAY. We are here this evening to assist in "kick ing the coercion bill into a cocked hat." Co ercion policy has been the system of the British rulers followed up from time Im memorial. The Irish people have been made slaves as far as English laws could make them. The United States will aid Gladstone now by giving a free assertion of opinion in rtgard to this coercion business. BISHOP FOSS. I am glad to speak a word to show that I am In sympathy with this movement. While in Europe some time ago I passed through Ire land, and there was many signs of the dis satisfaction which existed at British injus tice. The time is coming when the only form of government \vili.^*e for the people and by the people. I look for impression to be made on the members of .the house of parliament by these meetings. 17111683 this act of coercion' be snowed under by the opinion of the self-governed people, the result must be dis astrous to the people of Ireland. But I have hope that the English people will consider , well this matter before placing this coercive law upon the people of Ireland, as they must, if they heed public opinion. REV. M. D. SHUTTER. ', I Kill only express my hearty sympathy ■ -witli this meeting. Before this question all differences of creed must be hushed. Things that coerce all humanity come before all creeds. I am not/, f ,hero as a member of - any political -party nor as a chairman of any denomination, but I am here to-night as an American citizen to add my voice to what das been said. Alter years of crime and blunder the English people are trying to crown their stupidity by the great est outrage ever perpetrated on any people, and it calls for the condemnation of every freedom-loving man under the heavens. This will bring about what every Irishman has so longed for — home — and my hope to-night is that the government of Ireland will soon be by and for the people. COIj. R. C. BENTON: I do not need to tell you that my sympathy is : with you in this great matter. . Everyone is with — the lawyers and the ministers, the Republicans and the Democrats, and the orthodox and the heterodox. This coercion bill does not even give a man a chance for his ■ life, as it refuses Irishmen the right to be tried by a jury of his peers. Why is it the English government refuses to give Irishmen this right? I know what the Irish people are, and 1 know they should never be attacked by coercive measures. I hope the grand old nina will live to see the triumph of right and justice, but I am afraid not, for the British people are not always to be influenced by the opinion of the freemen of the United States. REV. JAMES M'GOLRICK. I hardly know whether to address you as an Irishman or as an American citizen, for some years ago I renounced all allegiance to Queen Victoria, It does me good and makes me hopeful to see men of all nationalities and of all creeds join with us in denouncing the measures of the English government. Bancfort's History of -England shows us plainly the injustice that has been done the Irish people. Money has been sent to this country to poison the minds of the public against the Irishmen, but I am glad to see that but little damage has been done in this manner. The time is near at hand when the Irish people will assemble in their own '■ par liament on College Green.. , . KESOLUTIONS. The following resolutions were , read and passed by a unanimous vote: Whereas, The present government of Gieat Britain, representing landlord rule and actuated by iruditioiml repressive instincts toward the masses of the people, proposes, by a penal enactment, to abolish freedom of speech, liberty of the press, trial by jury, the tight of public meeting, the sanctuary of the humbler home, the family secret, im munity of the citizen from extra judicial torture, on oath by the landlord magistrate, and to strangle liberty strug gling through the centuries of constitutional rights in Ireland; and Whereas, The contemplated coercion net, aimed to perpetuate landlord power aud vice regal dt-spotism in Ireland— institutions for eign to the genius of a constitutional age — forbodes a legalized reign of terror, under which homes will be laid desolate, families will be dispersed, und the passionsof direst despair and deepest racial hatred" will bo | aroused; and Whereas, Against this insulting outrage on a Christian people the voice of Scotland, Wales and the uiasi-os of English people swells the indignant protest of the Irish race; yet the landlord Tories, heedless of warning, reckless of the rights of humanity, propose to answer the demands for constitutional freedom with loice; aud Whereas, Exceptional crime in Ire land is not even pleaded in justification of this contemplated alolitiou of a nation's rights, but, admitted not to exist, is being rather fostered as helpless, un armed rebellion is being fomented that it may be made a pretext for yet more bloody repres sion by a Tory government, which represent ing the classes, mocks the masses of the gov erned. Now. therefore !>o it Resolved, By us, citizens of the United States and of the state of Minnesota, in mass meeting assembled, at Minneapolis, on this 88th day of April, A. 1). ISST, the governor of our commonwealth in the chair, the mayor of our city, respected representatives of all creeds, professions, industries, and legisla j tive halls and national) amongst us, that, being In the name of humanity appealed to by the people of Ireland, our sympathy goes out to them in their gloom and threat ened oppression, and that in the name of liberty, enlightenment and progress, we pro test indignantly against the attempted main tenance of undue authority by the instru mentalities of force and barbarism. Resolved, That iv the sense of this meeting the government of her majesty of Great Britain, to establish a right to continued ex istence in Ireland, must give up the policy of foreign officialism and domestic strife for one of national recognition and interna tional conciliation; that the torch, the sword and the gibbet, provincial prejudice and re ligious rancor, having failed as a well-tried policy, there remains for those who would rule the Irish people but one method yet un tried in Ireland; that of government by the people, for the people, Resolved, Therefore, that greeting the createst Jiving English statesman, judged by the genius of the present age, W. E. Gladstone, we pledge to the cause of humauitv, contained in the issue of con stitutional freedom for Ireland, which be ad vocates, our resolute, unswerving support; that, saluting the people of Ireland, we ask them to take heart and hope anew from the genius, wisdom aud union of their leaders in the cause of patriotism; the accession to their ranks of the Progressive party in Great Britain; the well-pledged support to them in their constitutional struggle by Ameircans, and the dec-p-felt sympathy of mankind with a nation which has long aud nobly wrestled with repression. Resolved, That the chair be instructed to forward copies of these resolutions to Mr. Gtadstone and Mr. Parnell. and that a cable message be sent, signed by the governor Of our state aud the mayor of this city, convey ing the sense of this meeting to the great leaders of the Nationalist and the Liberal parties in the British parliament. REV. FATHER P. H. CLARKE. As I never owed the queen of G/eat Britain any allegiance, I never could renounce it, and so 1 have never done so. 1 came here having no right except the right of posses sion. If I were an Englishman I would say to you that, you are very impertinent for in terfering ie English affairs, but as an Irish man I must say I commend your spirit. While in Ireland inside of three months I ad ministered the sacrament to over fifty people whose deaths were directly or indirectly caused by English laws. It has been said that our Irish representa tives in congress are obstructionists, and I hope that iv every similar body there are Irishmen who are obstructionists against oppression of any kind. In closing the speaker paid a high tribute to Michael Davitt and others, whose works for Ireland had been noted. THIRTY YEARS. Plymouth Church Celebrates Its Thirtieth Anniversary-Three De cades of Prosperity. Yesterday was the thirtieth anniversary, of the organization of Plymouth/cliurchj a,n event of extraordinary interest to xhe^mem bers and friends of that large congregation, i Iv the evening the lecture room , of -trie church was rilled with people, wliQj listened witli deep interest to reminiscences of the early days, and a history of the remarkable growth of Plymouth. The choir gave appropriate musical selec tions between the speeches, which were made by the pioneers of the church. Will iam Cheeney read a history of the church during the first twenty-live years of its ex istence. The eighteen charter members of Plymouth church included eight Presby terians, nine Congregationalists and one re ceived on confession of faith. The first •pastor was Key. Norman McCloud, who was succeeded by Revs. A. C. Atwater, H. M. Nichols, C. C. Salter, H. A. Stimpson, Dr. Hutchins and the present minister, C. F. Thwing. Mr. Cheeney spoke of the burning of the first house of worship, which stood on the corner of Nicollet avenue and Fourth street in April, 18G3, and of the tragic death of the then pastor, Key. Nichols, who, with his wife and children, was drowned in Lake Calhoun. Following Mr. Cheeney, the venerable founder of Plymouth church, Key. N. McCloud, made a brief address. He said he was not surprised at the growth of Plymouth church, it was founded by men of broad intelligence and high character, and these qualities, with God's blessing, will always bring pros perity. He gave many interesting details of the early struggles of the' church, and spoke feelingly of his abiding interest in its welfare. Mr. McCloud is a pioneer in Congregational church work, and it has been his privilege to organize three churches which have grown to be great centers of ecclesiastical influence. He founded Plymouth church in Denver and tiie first one in Salt Lake City. Charles Cushman drew a touching pictu re of the death of Key. Mr. Nichols and the gloom consequent on. that event. Mr. Cushman was the second superintendent of Ply month Sunday school. K. J. Baldwin said the founders of Plymouth church were red-hot abolitionists, a fact which explained the opposition of the American board of home missions in the council called to con tinn their organization, Mr. Baldwin gave a number of early reminiscences. His thoughts turned toward real estate, and he told how the young men used to stand on the piazza of the Bushnell house and swop corner lots while chewing their after dinner toothpicks. Plymouth church bought its first lot, corner of Nicollet avenue and Fourth street, for $1,800, giving in payment a bond. When the church was burned the lot was allowed to revert to the original owner. Afterward it was again purchased, this time by the church ladies, who paid S3OO cash for it. In 1870 it was divided into business lots, having a frontage of twenty- five feet each on Nicollet avenue, and the whole sold at auction for §17,000, and the brethren flattered themselves they had made a brilliant success of it. To-day the land, sixty-five feet front on Fourth street and 165 feet on Nicollet, is worth over $300,000. A letter from D. C. Bell was read, ex pressing keen regret at not being able to at tend the meeting. H. B. Hudson, the clerk of the church, then read a few sta tistics showing the growth of the society. Since its organization Plymouth church has received 626 members on confession of faith and 1.013 by letter; there have been 786 re movals for all causes, leaving a present membership of 853 members; $48,181.28 has been given by the church to benevolent enterprises, exclusive of the contributions of the Sunday school and young people's societies. COUNCIL COJIIIITXEES. A Dispute Over the Examination of the Assistant Meat Inspector. When the committee on health and hos pitals met yesterday it was discovered that the chairman, Aid. Clark, had taken it upon himself to appoint the veterinary sur geon who was to be a member of the board to examine the assistant meat inspector. Aid. Gibson objected to this, saying that the alderman did not have the; power to make the appointment without' consulta tion. Sojne sharp words were exchanged, and as a result no examination was held. An adjournment was taken Until the council settles the question of authority. fHiCST. FAUTj DAILY GLOE& FRIDAY MOBNTOG, APRIL 29, 188 T. At the meeting of the council committee on roads and bridges with the aldermen from the Eighth ward it was . decided that the firm of Anderson & Douglass be allowed to remove dirt from the streets in making grades, provided that it is all used on the streets in their additions. It was specified further that the grade of Dupont avenue, between Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth streets, shall not be lower than six feet. The committee on streets, grades and ad ditions met and examined a number of plats. "BRIG" YOUNG'S SAY. A Characteristic Letter Addressed to # Joe Scallen. Chief Stetson, of the fire department, was Wednesday evening asked if he cared to reply to Joe Scalien's communi cation in yesterday's Tribune, and said that he did not desire to be led into a newspaper controversy. Whenever charges were made to the council committee on fire department he would be found ready to meet them. H. M. Young, the veteran fire man and the inventor of the Paragon heater, has the following to say in regard to the at tack upon himself and the chief: To the Editor of the Globe. My attention was called to an article in the Tribune of to-day entitled "Seullen's Say,"' ami 1 would ask for leave to say a few words in reply. The Paragon heater, which is my invention, has been in constant use in the lire department of this and many other cities since 1553, and is still in operation in the principal cities of the United States 'arid Canada. Some time after its adoption by the:chiof of the Minneapolis lire department my, attention, was called by him (the chief) to a complaint from Mr. Scallen to the effect that the heater was ruining the flues of steamer No. 1, which; engine, as also were engines .Nos. 2 and 4, was furnished with steel flues. 1 was much con cerned in regard to the matter, and at once took steps to discover the true cause, by consulting competent authority. The result was as follows: 1 have in my possession letters and samples of steel tubes, Hies and boiler plates from leading manufacturers of the United states in the same condition as those taken from the steamers named. I refer by permission to Fire Warden C S. Petne.'of Chicago, who is. also su perintendent of the fire department repair shop and an engineer of many years' standing in that department. His official letter states that he had the same trouble, and placed three sets of new steel flues in one engine inside of one year, and then abandoned them for copper, and has had no trouble since. Chris Ahrens, president of the Ahrens Engine company, of Cincinnati, 0., to whom 1 referred the matter, said: "We caunot use , steel as it 'pits' and is not reliable, and so have ..abandoned it." Mr. Ahrens also said that "'any; man who advanced the idea that the damage was caused by the Paragon or any other heater was not worthy of the time •wasted In listening to him. The La France En gine company, of Elmira, N. V., furnished me samples of boiler plate and crown sheets from steamers in as bad or worse condition than any in this city, and said that they hail taken out half a carload of it from boilers repaired by them of all makes where steel was used. The chief of Battle Creek, Mich., fire department furnished me a set of tubes, of which 1 now have a sample, that were destroyed in less than two years in an en gine that never had a heater of any kind until after the new tubes were put in. The same en gine is now using a Paragon heater. Now, let me come nearer home. I refer to Aid. Collins, of this city, inspector of boilers for the Hartford com pany, of Hartford, Conn., considered to be. one of the most expert boiler inspectors in the . United States, who lias samples from stationary boilers from all parts of the state. In many of these the steel shells and tub are in a worse condition than any from this fire depart ment. 1 also refer to John Kelly, of the firm of P. S. Martin & Co., of this city, who has hr.d a like experience with the rest; also John Camp bell, for some years foreman for M. W. Glenn, of Minneapolis. Mr. Campbell can tell of a boiler which showed the same trouble in six weeks' run. The Paragon heater was exhibited in Provi dence, K. 1., at the national convention of chief engineers, and received special mention and recommendation from that body, and is so pub lished in the. annual report of last year as fol lows: "The Paragon heater for steam fire engines, H. M.Young inventor." Then follows a description of the heater and its operation, fuel, etc., and fin ishes as follows: "Your committee are, therefore, pleased, from personal observation and the recom mends of many others, to commend them very highly." If this is not enough to satisfy all in quiry in regard to the Paragon heater and the trumped up charges against it. There is more in waiting, the Paragon Heater company will deposit .in, the hand of the mayor of this city or any other responsible party the Globe may name, .*IOO for each and every case that can be cited by competent authority of any damage to flues, shells or crown sheets on any steam lire engine or boiler to which it is attached, the same to go to any char.table purpose named by the city council. In conclusion will say Mr. . Scallen kept the fact that he was trying to find cause of complaint against the heater so quiet that the report was made and the copy of the analysis made (which does not mention any cause) before I ever heard of it. If he had the interest of the department in view, why did he cot let me have a chance, and Engineer Tuttle, . who is scallen' senior, of No. 4 steam, also to look it up. He states that he holds a certificate of chief engineer issued by the state board of inspectors. So does' Engineer Tuttle and so do I ot the same «rado as himself, but this was a "still hunt" and , i,t . has .every appearance that the man at the wrong end of this gun got the benefit of the charge. . Mr. Scallen may be an exceptionally 'smart man — no doubt he — still history tells ot but one ' real God, and his last name was not Scallen. henry M. Young, Ex-Engineer Minneapolis Fire Department. Minneapolis, April 27. CRIMINALS ARRAIGNED. Nelson Held for Examination-Dis trict Court Cawes. Elias Xelsou was yesterday arraigned in the municipal court for the murder of Nels Johnson and was held without bail for ex amination Saturday.

Goldsmith's stirring comedy, "She Stoops to Conquer," was put on, with all the elaborateness of stage settings and accessories that have made the present engagement memorable.

The police commission was in session four hours yesterday afternoon, and ex amined the written statements of the ap plicants for appointment on the force. The entire list was examined, and the names were divided into two classes, those against whom no legal or physical disqualifications have been found, and to whom none of the commissioners desire to object,, being set aside by themselves. The r other list con tains the names of those against whom there is likely to be objections. Hie first Wjjre" examined yesterday, and the second be .to-day, and then comes the tug of «VM i • : : • ■ -. . Chance in Arrangement*. The arrangement for the sale of tickets for Sara Bernhardt's engagement has been changed owing to the liability of confusion arising. The purchase of seats can be made either Saturday or Monday for either "Fedora" or "Camille," or both.

In 1883 Mr. Vergens deserted his wife, and has since allowed her to support herself. Mrs. Venrens wants the custody of the child, aged 3% years. The somewhat sensational slander suit of John L. Dorsch against Fred Feldman, to re cover $25,000,' was tried yesterday before Judge Rea, and a verdict of $500 returned for the plaintiff. It appears that ' about four yean ago Katie Dotseli, a sister of the plain* tiff, married Michael Feldmad, a son of the defendant. Fred Feldinan did not take kind ly to his new daughter-in-law, and never lost an opportunity to make her lite a burden. When the tirst child was bom he .created something: of a sensation among, tbe neigh bors by proclaiming publicly that John Dorseb, Katie's brother, the father of the child. This statement caused a family quar rel, and resulted in this suit. SCAN UJTx A VI A IV NEWS.

' The Laws Under Which Canadian Vessel* Are Ire vented from Catch ing Seals. Washington, April 28.— The depart ment of state is carefully considering the question of the jurisdiction of the United States over the Alaskan fur seal fisheries. . The statement made in the Canadian par liament yesterday to the effect that com munications on the subject had been sent by that government to Secretary Bayard is de nied at the state department, and it is said all the correspondence touching the fisheries has been carried on directly with the gov ernment of Great Britain. This fact, it is believed, will explain the delay in hearing from the state department of which com plaint has been . made at Ottawa. The United States laws under which certain British Columbian vessels were seized by the revenue cutter Corwin last season are more than twenty years old, and the question of a conflict between those and the law of nations is one difficult of settlement. The fact that this question has been raised strengthens the department in its determination to continue to pursue the temperate course it has so far followed in the negotiations with Great Britain concerning the Canadian fisheries. The vast Alaskan fisheries are quite as im portant to this country as are the Nova Scotian inshore fisheries, and the state de partment is necessarily obliged to shape its construction of the law and treaties as to preserve the right of the United States to the exclusive enjoyment of the Alaskan fisheries, while maintaining the treaty rights of our fishermen in North American waters, It is held that there cannot be two construc tions of the laws: ami any position as sumed by the department must apply equally to Atlantic and Pacific waters. Rich Mexican Mines. ■ Chicago, April — Interviews with the Chicagoans whom recent dispatches associ ate with the discovery of valuable mines in Mexico, confirm the report. A dispatch from the City of Mexico states that two of the seven legendary mines from which the Spanish conqurers of Mexico drew inex haustible quantities of gold and silver) until driven out by the Indians two centuries ago have been' found by the exploring party sent out -by the Souora company two years ago, and prove to be fully as rich as even the legend has them to be. In January, 1885, the Sonora Land company was . chartered under the laws of Illinois and Mexico. The original intention was simply to reclaim and survey the 15,000,000 acres of grazing land. The incorporators were mostly residents of Chicago. A Boycott. New York Sun. "Say, Titmarsh, it's about time you changed that shirt." "Oh, I'm boycotting my washerwoman." "What for?"
