He Resigns His Position as Treasurer of the Executive and National Com- mittees—Clarkson Assumes the Position Vacated by Quay. WASHINGTON, July 31.-—Senator Quay resigns not only from his position as chair- man of the executive committee of the national Republican committee, but as chairman of the national committee and a member of the general committee as well. William Wade Dudley withdraws from the treasureship of the executive commit- tee. J. S. Clarkson assumes the position made vacant by Senator Quay at the head of the executive committee, and the posi- tion of vice chairman, made vacant by Mr. Clarkson’s promotion, is filled by the choice of Garret A. Hobart, of New Jer- sey. The position of treasurer will be filled on the new chairman’s appointment. Such in brief is the result of the meet- A ing of the execu- tive committee of the Republican national commit- tee at the Arling- ton hotel. Mr. Quay’s withdraw- al from the chair- manship of the committee h a (1 been generally ex- pected. He sur- ipassed expecta- Etion, however, by announcing to his colleagues at the evening’s session that he had for warded to Chairman Andrews, of the Pennsylvania state committee, his resigna- tion as a member of the general commit- tee. 'Following is Mr. Quay’s note: The Resignations. Hon. J. Sloat Fassett, Secretary National ‘Re- publican Committee: DEAR SIR—This is to apprise you that I have forwarded to Hon. William H. Andrews. chairman of the Republican state committee of Pennsylvania, my resignation as the member of the Republican national committee from that state. Very truly, M. S. QUAY. Mr. \Villiam Wade Dudley’s resignation was couched in the following terms: To the Executive Committee of the Republican National Committee: Mr FRlENDs AND AssOCIATEs—Inasmuch as you are about to reorganize the executive com- mittee for immediate preparatory work, pend- ing the approaching presidential election of 1892, and as my business engagements will de- mand all my time and attention during the coming year, I am compelled to sever the pleas— ant relations which have existed and still exist between us. I therefore tender my resignation of the office of treasurer of your committee and of the Republican national committee. Respectfully yours, W. W. DUDLEY. It Means an Early Convention. Senator Fassett 'said after the close of the meeting that although no formal vote was takpn urging ' Mr. Quay to with- draw his resigna- tion, the senti- ment of the mem- bers present was strongly express- ed in that direc- tion, and it was . finally decided to .. accept the resig~ nation from the chairmanship of the national com- mittee, subject to the approval of the whole committee. Resolutions of regret were adopted, and they were drawn up, it is understood, by Mr. Fassett, and were of the most com- plimentary character both in the case of Mr. Quay and of Mr. Dudley. The ac- counts of the national treasurer were ap- proved and a statement given for publica- tion. . Aside from these important changes in the personnel of the committee, the prin- cipal result of the meeting was a vote au- thorizing the chairman and secretary to call a meeting of the national committee in the month of November, day and place to be decided by them. This means that in all probability an early national conven- tion will be decided upon in accordance with General Clarkson’s known desire, the time of the national committee meeting having usually been two months later. Senator Fassett, who was the only mem- ber of the committee visible after the meeting, could give no intimation as to Colonel Dudley’s probable successor. The Members Present. The committeemen present at the meet- ing were Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, the chairman; James S. Clarkson of Iowa, . J. S. Fassett of New York, Sam- uel Fessenden of Connecticut, J.

' ‘ been senttoWash— CLARI‘SON‘ ington ‘ to urge that his city be selected as the place for holding the next national convention, ap- peared before the committee and presented Omaha’s claims, and the committee refer- red the matter to the general committee. _ Much of the afternoon session was given over to examining the bills for expenses of the recent campaigns, and some attention was also devoted to communications from outside parties, giving advice as to pro- posed methods for running the coming campaign.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 3l.—For several days Detective Greene has been watching the postoflice under orders from Washington to arrest William Lee, who would call for a letter, which the officer was instructed to secure. Last night Lee called for the let- ter, and as he opened it the detective put him under arrest. Quick as thought he put the letter into his mouth, and before the astonished officer could prevent him he had chewed it up and swallowed it, thus destroying the evidence which the author- ities were anxious to secure.

Accept the Position. - CAPE MAY, July 31.—The president ha: accepted the resignation of Collector 01 the Port Erhardt, of New York, to take efifect on Aug. 1, and has appointed ex Senator J. Sloat Fassett, of Elmira, to fill the place thus made vacant. WASHINGTON, July 31.——In the course 0) In interview relative to his appointment at collector of the port of New York, Mr. Fassett, after dispatch contain- in g the news, said. “I had, of course, received an inti- mation that 1 might be named for this collector- ship, but as the hint did not come from the presi- .47 dent, or from any ‘ one who person- J. SLOAT FASSETT. any represented him, I did not feel at liberty to talk. Even now I hardly know what to say until the president notifies me that I have been nominated.’ “But will you accept the position?” “Yes. If the place is tendered to me 1 shall accept it. It is not a position of my seeking. I did not ask for it, nor was there any fight made in my behalf. 1 shall, however, accept it.” ' ‘ ' Senator Fassett was born in Elmira, N Y., on Nov. 13, 1853. He was graduated from the University of Rochester and took a post graduate course at the University Oi Heidelberg, Germany. Two years after he left the University of Rochester he was ap- pointed district attorney Of Chemung county. He anged in politics and soon became noted for his oratory and his stanch Republicanism. He was elected to the senate four times. During his last term he was elected president pro tem. of the senate. In 1888 he was secretary of the Republican national committee. Robbed and Hurled frdm a. Train. CHICAGO, July 31.——Just after a south bound freight train had passed the Hyde Park station the passengers on the plat- form at the station saw a man writhing in agony about 100 yards north of the cross- ing. The excited crowd rushed hurriedly to the spot and found the man frightfully mangled, having been crushed by the train which has just passed. The injured man proved to be Henry Smith, a bartender of this city. He expired a few moments later. The train had hardly come to a standstill, a hundred yards below the station, when a man sprang from one of the box cars and hurried away. \Vhen Smith’s body was examined it was found that he had been robbed, and the theory is that he was hurled from the train by the unknown thief. Uneasiness at Coal Creek. CHATTANOOGA, July 31.-—Captain Ingra- ham, who led the miners in their organ- ized movement against the militia at Briceville, says that the miners are very uneasy over the fact that more convicts have been sent to Coal Creek in addition to the original force taken back, the tacit understanding being that only the origi— nal force of prisoners should go back. Ingraham says ip the event of the legisla- ture not repealing the convict lease law the men will turn loose every convict in the state and tell them to skip. The people will keep quiet until told by their officers to move. The Speediest Afloat. PROVIDENCE, July 31.'—-Herreshoif has turned out another wonder, and it is safe to say that there is nothing under steam that for speed can touch W’. R. Hearst’s new yacht N o. 168. With only 150 pounds. of steam on—just half what she carries—— she made nine miles in twenty-seven min- utes, and her builder as well as the engi- neers’ guests on board say that she is good for thirty or more miles an hour. The Cushing at her best has made twenty- seven miles. Gold Lying Around Loose. ELLENSBURG, VVash., July 31.—Excite- ment over the gold find near Swank con- tinues.

Gold can be seen sticking out on the croppings. Very little shoveling is necessary, so that two men are able to take out five tons a day. Devastated by Grasshoppers. PORTLAND, Ind., July 31. —The telegram: stating that the grasshoppers are devas- tating the crops in the border counties 0! Ohio and Indiana are not exaggerated. For the last two weeks the grasshoppers have been appearing in myriads in the section mentioned. The oat crop was ban vested before being fully ripe on account of their ravages. Grave fears are enter- tained that the insects will now turn their attention to the corn. . The Last Pile Driven. ASTORIA, On, July 31.—The jetty at the mouth of the Columbia river reached its western limit yesterday afternoon when the last pile was driven about five miles! out at sea. A large amount of filling with rock, however, remains to be done, and it is thought two years will be re- quired to complete it. So far the govern- ment engineers are entirely satisfied with the jetty. Sam Jones Pelted with Bad Eggs.

On the Horn- _ nnnnnnnnnsnn Dillon and O’Brien Released from the Galway Jail. THEY REPUDIATE PABNELL. A Profound Sensation Created in Ireland . by the Prompt and Decided Action. of the Parnellites Dejected. Famous Nationalists. DUBLIN, July ESL—Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien were released from Galway jail. Neither of the members showed more than slight traces of having suffered from the rigors of confinement, and at the moment of release both seemed in the enjoyment of excellent health. A large crowd, made up with adherents of both factions of the Irish National party, surrounded the jail, and when the distinguished ex-prisoners made their ap- pearance they were greeted with cheers and rival shouts of “Stick to Parnell” and “Down with Parnell.” A deputation representing the evicted tenant farmers of Tipperary met the pris- oners as they emerged from the jail and presented them with a number of ad- dresses congratulating them upon their Outside of the jail yard, sitting in an opencarriage, was Mrs. O’Brien, ‘ who amid the cheers of the crowd warm.- ly saluted her husband upon meeting him. Parnell Repudiated. Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Dillon at once en- tered the carriage, which, followed by the repeated cheers of the crowds, was rapidly driven to the residence of Bishop McCor- mack. Here a number of the political and personal friends of the Irish leaders were gathered to join their liberated friends at a. breakfast given in their honor by the bishop. A few short addresses, suited to the oc— casion but devoid of all reference to ex- istin g Irish political troubles, were made, after which some time was spent in pleas- ant conversation. Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien will later in the day leave Galway forh‘ this city. There was great anxiety throughout Ireland to know what attitude would be assumed by the two leaders toward the clashing pretensions of McCarthy and Parnell. The Opinion prevailed in this city that their first efforts at least would be directed to a vigorous attempt to close the' breach, the existence of which worked so much mischief to the Irish cause. Later Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien arrived in the city from Galway. Both gentlemen then authorized the statement that they repudiate Parnell’s pretensions to the leadership of the Irish National party. This prompt and decided action has cre ated a profound sensation. The McCax~ thyites are jubilant, while even the most enthusiastic and steadfast folloWers of Mr. Parnell are downcast and‘falterin g. \Vhy They \Vere Arrested. Mr. J Ohu Dillon, member of parliament for East Mayo, and Mr. William O’Brien, member of parliament for Northeast Cork, were on Sept. 18, 1890, arrested on the charge of conspiracy and. inciting the ten- ants on Smith-Barry’s Tipperary estate not to pay their rents. Mr. Dillon’s ar- rest was made at Ballyrack, while that of Mr. O’Brien was effected at the Glengarilf hotel, Glengariif Harbor, in the presence of Mrs. O’Brien, 3. French lady to whom he had been recently wedded. Strong detachments of the Irish con- stabulary escorted both men to Tipperary, but notwithstanding this fact a fight be- tween the people and the police followed the arrival at the court house of the pris- oners. In this disturbance, which was witnessed by the English Liberal leader, Mr. John Morley, Mr. Timothy Harring- ton, member of parliament for Dublin university, was, severely handled by the officers. The trial which followed was marked by many exciting episodes, and was watched with the utmost solicitude by the Irish people both at home and in America. The case for the government was conducted by Crown Prosecutor Ronan, while the defendants were represented by Messrs. Healy, Redmond, Harrington and others. The defense repeatedly charged the sitting magistrates with partiality and appealed to the high court of Dublin to grant a writ prohibiting the magistrates from sit— ting On the ground of bias. This was re- fused. Escaped to America. On Oct. 10 it became known that Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Dillon, who were out on bail, had escaped, and a few days later the story of their hazardous experience in the English channel, their journey to Paris and subsequent departure for America On a lecturing tour became known. Meanwhile the court at Tipperary went on with the case, notwithstanding the absence of the defendants. The trial proceedings was finally re moved to the judges court of Clonmel where, on Nov. 19, the absent defendants were each sentenced to “two terms of im- prisonment of six months each, the sen- tences to run concurrently.” After their return to England and sur- render to the police at Folkestone, Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien were sent under guard to Ireland, where they were first confined in Clonmel prison, but were afterward transferred to Galway jail. lVIany Die from Tropic Fever.
