Associated Press. Washington, April 24. Nobility paid Its respects to democracy this after noon at the White House, when the Duke Veraguas and party called on President Cleveland.

The South Carolina tax cases were passed upon by the United Staffs supreme court toda, the opinion being delivered by Chief Justice Fuller. It came upon the l-'jtttion of Sheriff Tyler, of Aiken coun ty, for a writ of habeas corpus to re lease him from imprisonment under a judgment of the circuit court that he be fined $500 for contempt He had slezed a train on the Sout hCarolina railroad upon a warrant issued by the state authorities for the collection of taxes 'which were in controversy. The road was in the hands of a receiver appointed by the United States court, and he was adjudged guilty of con tempt tor his failure to release the property under the order of. that court He came to the supreme court for re lease. Justice Fuller returned an opln ion containing much stronger language than is usually found in sue hdocu ments, denying the application of the petitioner for a writ. ' He said the selz- ure of the by force, was unjustif yable and could not be defended. The claims of the state for taxes are superior to the general rule, which makes property placed in the hands of a receiver sub ject to the orders of the court; They are to te determined in the regular way and in the proper manner. CONFERRING WITH BANKERS. New York, April 21. Conrad N. Jor dan, the new United States sub-treasurer, took possession of the office this morning. A conference with bankers began at noon. The Indications are that there will be no let up In gold ship ments, and. probably over $3,000,000 will go out tomorrow. New York, April 24. Jordan and the bank officers were still in conference at noon. It is rumored that the New York banks, as a result of the conference, would turn fifteen or twenty millions of gold into the treasury. Said one bank president: "I expect we shall continue to ship four or five millions in gold per week until the balance of trades Is reversed, or until some of our unmarketed products are sent forward and can be drawn against." The only Information vouchsafed af ter the conference was that no gold was offered to the government and none was asked for. Jordan Is now holding a conference with the leading private bankers. THE EXCITEMENT ABATING. Washington, April 24. The authorl tlve statement of Cleveland yesterday In which he announced that the present treasury department will continue to pay treasury notes in gold, has taken the edge off the excitement that fol lowed the act of the secretary of the treasury dipping Into the merve fund. If there had been any danger of a fi nancial flurry, that danger appears now to be passed. Under the interpretation of Cleveland's statement, the reserve is to be treated simply as so much cash In the treasury, and whether the aggre gate sizes or falls a few millions per day becomes a matter of little concern. LARGE OFFERING OF GOLD. Boston, April 24. The clearing house met today and decided to turn over to the government half the gold reserve in exchange for legal tenders.

A well Kknown corporation, the McConnel, Ma- gulre Company, the largest mercantile house in Idaho, o'f which Governor Mo Connell Is the head, was closed out to day by the sheriff. Although there hbt been rumors of impending embarraa ment, the failure haa caused great ex citement. The First National bank, of Moscow, Issued an attachment for $20,- 000, an dtlie sheriff closed the doors. The Moscow National bank immediate ly followed with an attachment for $25,000. The) attorneys for Murphy. Grant . & Co., of San Francisco, and Allen & Lewis, of Portland, also served attachments, running the figures up to about $100,000 .More attachments at expected tomorrow, which will ma terially Increase the liabilities. The as sets amount to about $80,000 in stock, large book accounts and the Arms busi ness property, which is mortgaged for $25,000. Oovernor McConnell originated the firm several years ago and two year? ago it was incorporated fo r$100,000. The members of the firm are Gover nor McConnell, Frank A. Davis, J. C. Haskell, W. M.

Twi branch houses were established at Pull man, Wash., The firm made large pur chases of wheat, and It was thoughl profited largely thereby.

S. Bsowne, and J. II. McGulre, of this city, and the money placed In the Moscow house. It arrived too late, however, and the crash came today.

Har court, chancel lor the exchequer, Introduced the bud get for the coming fiscal year in the commons today. The chancellor esti mated the expenditure for the current flsacl year at 91,404,000 pounds and the residue at 89,890,000 pounds, leaving e deficit of 1,574,000, pounds due In part to a slightly expected decrease of rev enue, but chiefly to the vast growth of expenditures not created by the gov ernment, but through the demands of the country upon parllment. The Chan cellor said the government should not propose to cover the deficit by encroach ing upon the sinking fund devoted to reduction of the national debt. He pre ferred to meet the deficit , by the straightforward way of Increased tax ation. The government resorted to the Income tax which it was proposed to de crease by a penny In the pound, which ought to add 1,750,000 pounds to the rev enue.

Ireland's Struggle For Freedom. The result of the second reading of Gladstone's home rule bill has caused an awakening of Interest In the Irish question; so much so In fact that a brief history ot the struggle for auton omy on the part of the IrlBh people will be read with Interest by many: The long conflict .between England and Ireland began In 1172 when the Second Henry invaded the Emerald Isle, and owing to domestic strife gained a firm foothold there."Ages of bondage and slaughter," to use Moore's words, fol lowed. The Irish resisted stubbornly the Invadors who coveted their fertile vales "" and valleys. British commanders such is Oliver. Cromwell ravaged the country with- fire and sword. They confiscated the lands and divided them among their followers. It became the settled jolicy of the Invaders to root out the Trish and replace fhem by British set tlers, who it was supposed would be 'oyal to the crown. This ruthless policy failed as the world knows. The British settlers and 'heir dependents, became In great part, fused with the native population and made common cause with them. The national spirit survived persecution and resisted artifice, Thousands of the Irish left their homes to win renown In European Tirais while others, crossed the Atlantic to lay the foundation of states in this country. In 1782, there was a great uprising, Inspired by the success of the Ameri can revolution. Under - the lead of Henry Grattan, the Irish volunteers wembled at Dungannon and declared that only the King, lords and commons "f Ireland should govern Ireland. By this powerful eloquence Grattan in duced tfhe Irish parliament to proclaim 'e'glslatlve independence. England, which was Involved In the Franco- ' American war granted the Irish de mand and after the lapse of centuries' 'here was a fair prospect that the two lountrlaa would be united on a basts -f Justice and equality. But England withheld Irish rights and tesisted re 'orm. Inflamed by the revolutionary tpirlt in France, the Irish demanded total Independence, and some of them took up arms to obtain it. , This heroic struggle"the rebellion ot '98" ended in disaster, and England, by Intimidation, artifice and bribery, de stroyed the Irish parliament. Grattan resisted this act of union with match less eloquence; but his patriotic ardor did not avail against the determination of William Pitt to restrain the growing power of the Irish nation. The Irish submitted sullenly to the so-called union until 1843 when Daniel O'Connell began the great agitation for repeal. The popular demand was stubbornly denied by the British par liament. The Young Ireland movement followed In 1848. Despite the patriotic ardor of Mltchel, Meagher, Duffy and O'Brien, the contemplated revolt came to naught and Ireland relapsed Into a state of political despondency. But "hope springs eternal" in the Irish breast. After years of agitation for reform In the land laws, the Fenian conspiracy made England feel the wide extent and persistency of Irish discon tent. Mr. Gladstone saw that something must be done. At hjs Instance parlia ment disestablished the Irish church. and some years later, passed a liberal land .law. These measures did not satisfy the Irish people, who had ac quired much political power by the ex- tension of the suffrage and vote by bal- lot. Under the lead of Isaac Butt, they began to agitate for home rule. Parnell succeeded him as the popular teader and with the aid of ardent supporters compelled the British parliament to give heed to Ireland's grievances. In 1886, Mr. Gladstone Introduced a home rule bill which was rejected in the house of commons by a majority of about 20. He apeaied to the country and was defeated. The conservatives came Into power, and aided by liberal unionists, retained office until their defeat at the general election last year compelled them to again retire in favor of Mr. Gladstone, whose efforts will, this time, no doubt be - successful, and whooe name will be enshrined In the heart ot every Irishman who loves the home of his birth. . . ..
