The Story of a Sailor Arrest In New York. Stephen Hanley, a sailor on the ship Un auntod, wa3 arrested In New York yesterday by Deputy Marshal Jeffries, of that city, on a warrant Issued by United States Commissioner Griffith. Hanley Is charged with threatening the life of the captain of tho ship about a month ago. Tho fol lowing is iianiey 'aversion of tho story: He was up the main yard scraping a spar, when the captain asked him whether he had a Btone with which to sharpen the scraper. Ho sang out "no," he said, and the captain began cursing and asked him how he could dare to answer as ho did.

The captain told him to sit on the poop dock and wait When the captain returned he found him on the quartor deck. Enraged at this tho captain called out tho mon had him put In chains, and gruffly told tbo mate to take him to tho lazaretto, or prison. He said the captain helpod him down stairs with a vigorous kick, exclaiming, 1 feel like putting a ball through you." Hanley said that during tho time ho was In the lazaretto over a month ho was beaten almost dally, and that tho captain was In the habit of beating all of the crew. Two of the crow, Johnnie, a Swede, and a Gorman whom they called Bismarck, came In for a goodly sharo of tho boating, and were put on shoro early yosterday, because tho captain fearod that they might be witnossos against him if he (Hanley) should prefer a charge of that nature when thoy got to Now York. Ho said the sailors of the ship usually stayed at Stevo Macklu's boarding house, In Olive street Hanley was held.

The captain's name Is J. K. Hamilton. A NEARLY FATAL RUNAWAY. The Coachman's Life Saved by the Strength of Ilia Tile.

Gleoson, of Cleveland, a prominent Grand Army man and at present the president of tho Ohio division of the Irish National League, Is stopping at the Astor House In New York.

In conversation with a reporter last night. Major Gleoson spoke freely upon tho question of Dr. Mc Glynn's oxpulslon from the priesthood and the causes which led to it "Do you know," said the major, "I was the first man to get Dr. McGlynn Into trouble with Archbishop Corrlgan. In 1882 Bishop Gilmoro at Cleveland oxcommunicatod tho ladles of tho Land League.

It didn't mako any dif ference to us. I sent an invitation to Dr. McGlynn to come and address the League at Cleveland. He came and addressed a gathering of 7,000 people. It seems that he did this without asking the pleasure of the archbishop.

Dr. McGlynn was censured by the archbishop for not first obtaining his consent The matter was referrod to Cardinal McClosky and he exonerated the doctor. That was tho first cause of unpleasantness between Dr. McGlynn and his superior." "What do you think will be the effect on tbo membership of the Catholic Church?" asked the reporter. "It will undoubtedly cause the biggest defection the church has ever seen.

That is, I mean among tho thinking people of tho church. Of course, thoso who havo boen kopt down through ignorance and are afraid will not change their position at all. I am heartily in sympathy with Dr. McGlynn's position In regard to the publlo schools. I never could seo the sonso of sending children long dis tances to parochial schools socond rato schools at that when first class, well equipped public schools were at hand for all who would attend."

The Fort Hamilton Clew Ascertained to be a misleading One.

The supposed clew to bo much importance was attached at first by thoso Interestod in the discovery of tho fate of the littlo 12 year old girl who was sout on tho evening of February 26 to buy broad at a baker's about 700 foet from her home on Metropolitan avonuo, bought the bread and never returned, has provod misleading. Friends of Mrs. Kooberloin some days ago visited the Live Oak Hotel at Fort Hamilton, whither, it was rumored, Mrs. Smith, on leaving Bayard street, New York, had taken a girl who stopped with a young man at her house on tho night of tho disappearance of Magglo Koeborloin. They found, however, that Mrs.

Smith's visitor was a girl aged 17 years. Tho mystery, theroforo, romains as dark as ever, though the missing child, an admittedly Intelligent girl, If alive, must have revealed her identity to somebody during the long months since her disappearance. The poor mother feels, however, some gratification at finding that this latest clew has not discovered her child only to blast her reputation. BOYCOTT ERS HELD.

George W. Armstrong, the wife of a well known lawyer residing on Vermont avo nue, near Baltic in the Twenty sixth Ward, was engaged at about 5 o'clock last evening In raising the awnings that shade the front windows of hor residence when a uniformed policeman connected with the Seventeenth Precinct appeared, and throwing both arms about her neck exclaimed: "How ore you, old girl?" Mrs. Armstrong managed to oscapo from the clutches of tho ruffian in blue and, turning, got a good view at his face. "I'm going upstairs," continued the officer; "I wonder how all the girls are?" Tho lawyer's wife was astonished and for a moment could not say a word. Then sho pluckod up courago enough to ask: What do you mean 1" The officer Bmiled Insolently as he looked at the lady, and proceedod upstairs.

"You must bo mistaken in tho house," exclaimed the lady. "No one Hve3 hare bnt myself and husband." "That's all right, old gal," said the officer. "You can't fool mo." The lady stood shockod and heightened on tho sidewalk and unable to say more. In a few moments tho officer como down Btalrs and, accosting tho lawyer's wife, again remarked. "Good bye, my size." When the lawyer returned to his home about 8 o'clock last evening, his wife told him what had happened.

She described tho officer's appearance and the lawyer, who repaired to the police station at once, identi fied as the insulter of his wife Patrolmen James J. Conners. Sergeant Ronnols, who had charge of the desk, called the offlcor before him and suspend ed him from service, at the same time relieving him of his shield. Patrolman Connors is one of tho men who has aided in giving the Seventeenth Precinct the title of tho Inebriates' Home. Ho was appointed on tho police force on October 1, 1885, and was assigned to duty in thn Twelfth Proclnct On account of his convivial habits ho was transferred by Commissioner Carroll to the Seventeenth Proclnct on March 29 of this year.

Personal Notes. Copyright 1837. LONDON, August 27. Last night's debate in tho House of Commons on Mr. Gladstone's resolution opposing the Government's action In proclaiming tho Irish National League was altogether the most important discussion of the session.

Tha members were more outspoken on both sides than they have ever boon bo fore, and when Mr. Dillon with groat solemnity of manner, but in determined tones, doolarod that any attempt to enforce tho Crimes Act In Ireland would lead to a lifo and death struggle between the Government and tho League. Every member in the Houflo without regard to party felt tho stern truth of the Irish orator's utterance. Tho Conservatives were not slow to respond to the challenge, and applauded to the echo every passage of the Tory speeohos showing that the Government was unalterably determined upon an active policy of repression. What tho Irish Executive Intends to do is now tho absorbing question.

If ho does not speedily make a resolute 4 effort to destroy tho League, tho Government will lose the respect of both Its eupportors and its opponents. Tho policy of the League has been repeatedly and oponly declared. There i no pretense of secrecy as to the tacttcadt will employ and the Government must be equally Arm in Its position or back down. At a meeting of the Limerick branch of tho League hold last evening it was aunouncod that tho businoss of that branch and of all tho other branches would bo conducted as heretofore, no matter what kind of a proclamation might bo issued ogatnBt it If the meetings of tho organization wore dispersed its members would meet prlvatoly; If the plau of campaign were assailed the League would dofeat tho Government's ends, as It Is now doing through tho fidelity of tho tenants to tho plan. These declarations are examples of tho spirit of the men tho Government has doolarod war against, and tho compactness of the organization of the Leoguo seems to Justify Its members In treating the fulmlnations of the Dublin Executive with scorn.

If the Government dissolves any branches found to bo actively engaged in boycotting or intimidation, the members of those branches can, by Bimply changing the location of their meeting place, defy suppression or even serious interference. Regarded apart from the most remote party bias, the position In which the Executive Is placed appears to be that of a combatant whoso ovory Wow falls short of reaching his adversary. If Ireland could be turned into one vast prison ho might succeed in vanquishing his enomy, but though using ovory possible power within his Jurisdiction it is certain that the Execntlvo must become exhausted by his unequal and Ineffectual struggle and retire from the contest. Tho Leaguo hails with delight the prosecution of Mr. O'Brien for his Mitcholltown apeeches as tho first legal action under tho Crimes JCct His conviction is vory improbable oven under tho moBt strained Interpretation of tho act, but tho chief fear of tho leaguers Is that the Government will abandon the case when Usees ita mistake without permitting it to come to trial.

TUB METHODISTS STIRRED TO ACTIVITY. The frequent gloating allusions in high church quarters to the decadonco of Methodism in Great Britain, have assisted greatly in stirring tho Meth ftodlst Churches to orabarklng in a great home missionary movomont, and preparations are making to extend the action of tho central missions In London and Manchester to all parts of tho kingdom. Concerning tho project a leading Methodist organ gays: "Wo are now bracing ourselves for tho largest and moat daring enterprises wo have over attempted since Wesloy foil asloop. We are preparing for an unprecedented attack upon the vii agesof England. During tho last twenty years wo have Invaded 500 villages and hope to invado 5,000 Within the next decade." Tho language, though strained and grandiloquent, faithfully reflects tho new energy of tho church.

Methodism has long been rather quiescent In England, but Its devotees are now showing marked aggressive activity. Money Is being freoly and largely subscribed to sustain tho new movomont and its projectors already speak of their desired rosults as accomplished facts. JOHN ERIOnT AND LORD DARTINGTON. When Mr. John Bright aunouncod on Thursday that ho would support tho Government In their policy of proclaiming tho Irish National Leaguo all doubts were removed regarding tho position which Lord Hartington would assume.

The conjunction of Mr. Bright and Lord Hartington is not uncommon, but it is always lnterosting. Many of his friends have heard Lord Hartington toll the story of the first occasion upon which Mr. Bright exercised an Important iufluenco upon his political career. Lord Hartington entered tho Houbo of Commons In 1837 and was not well pleased with his early progress.

Ho was neither fluent nor energotic. About I860 he met Mr. Bright at King's Arms, in Lancaster, and hold a long and friendly talk with him upon parllmentary life. Mr. Bright had recognized the dignity and steadfastness of his character and urged Lord Hartington to devote hlmBolf assiduously to the parliamentary work.

Lord Hartington refers to this conversation as having had immense influence with him and traces to that accidental Interview much of his resolution to persevere in political work and much of suah success as ho modestly believes himself to have achieved. In the next fourteen years their relations of mutua confidence grew closer and In 1874 Mr. Bright exerted all his influence, which was never so gloat as then, to socuro tho election of Lord Hartington as leader at the great meeting of the Liberal party in tho Boform Club. It la hardly tool much to say that he was the nominee of Mr. Bright From that time they have had many differences of opinion, especially upon England's African, Asian and European policy, but Mr.

Bright has never varlod in admiration for Lord Hartington's clear Judgment and hard headed honesty of purpose Probably tholr agreement has been most complote In regard to Ireland, though Mr. Bright could not have sympathized with Lord Hartington's doubts as to tho franchiso. The preliminary reports to tho Vatican of Mgr. Persico, special commissioner to Investigate tho sondition of Iroland, relate mainly to the cordial re septlon given to him by tho Irish clergy, nobility and people of all classes. Mgr.

Porslco's lino ro port on the condition of Iroland Is still far from being complete. He travels from place to place assiduously, conducting his work in his own way. and soems to bo in no hurry. Ho receives personal calls or addresses from priests at all limes, but steadfastly rofuses to moot deputations of laymen. Botweon himsolf and the Irish hierarchy tho closost rolations exist, and ho Is also In communication with tho Catholic hierarchy of England.

An Inkling of tho probablo teudoncy of his final report was obtained during tho prosonco at tho Jubileo exorcises of Mgr. Scilla, the Pope's Envoy. When tho Government becomes satisfied that It has paclfiod Ireland, Mgr. Persico and the IrlBh and English bishops will favor the re establishment of diplomatic relations between England and the Vatican, but at present any recommendation of this kind seems very romote. A largo number of EngllBh Catholics will attend tho Papal Jubilee at Rome next Winter, on which occasion tho Popo will attend tho opening of the Vatlcau Exhibition and respond to Cardinal Schiafilua's opening address.

CHARACTERISTIC) RUSSIAN DIPLOMACY. The escape of Ayoub Khan from his confinement within tho Persian boundaries Is suspoated in accept Persia's assurances that she was not Implicated In the Afghan pretender's departure. Eng land paid Persia 12,000 annually to keep Ayoub prisoner, and undoubtedly Russia offered much more thuu that sum for his escape. If Ayoub suc ceeds in reaching Herat, whero ho has a large personal interest and is all powerful, a formidable uprising is certain that will likely sweep the Ameer from his throne, Ayoub replacing him as Russia's nomlnoo. Tho British Govornmont has taken extraordinary stops to provent Ayoub Khan from reaching Herat, as his presence there will undoubtedly hasten the fall of Abdurrahman.

Eneland'a protege, and in crease the difhcultlos of tho Indian Government which have already assumed formidable propor tions. Owing to the teachings of the Kukas, and tho excitement among the uatlves, caused by the rebellion In Afghanistan, Lord Salisbury deliber ately dostroyod Shere All, tho fathor of Ayoub Khan, and substituted Abdurrahman In his stoad Tho Ghllzol quarrel Is dynastic it is a rebellion acainst tho dynasty which England deposed. Shere All had two sons by a Ghllzai wife Ayoub Khan and Yakub Khan, the latter of whom was formerly Ameer, but is now England's state prisoner in India. Yakub Khan has becomo au lm. boclle trom tho free use of alcoholic liquors, leaving Ayoub Khan, who 1b Btrongly pro Russian the only legitimate claimant to tho throne of Afghanistan.

In their present rebellion tho Ghil zals are striking a blow In favor of Shere All's dy nasty and their own kinsman, Ayoub Khan, but they are also striking at England's protege and English Influence, and here they commaud wide spread sympathy, which will bo Immensely In creased on the arrival of Ayoub Khan to place him solf at the head of their army, for the memories of the lost war with England have not been effaced by the lapse of uiuo years. In these troubles the fear Is that England may reap a part at least of the evil crop which was heedlessly and neodlesaly sown in 1879. JAPAN AND THE CANADIAN PACIFIC. Tho opening of the Canadian Pacific and the es tablishment of a lino of steamers from Vancouver to Yokohama and Hong Kong is creating extraordi nary interest and excitement in Japanese political and commercial circles. The native Journals are actively discussing the probablo effects of tho development of tho now route on tho commercial po sition of Japan, which they think may bo com pletely revolutionized by it If, they say, goods for China and other countries In the East aro conveyed by this route, Japan would have in the East, a position corresponding to that of Great Britain in the West as a commercial and banking center.

At present, while tho Suez Canal Is tho main route, Japan stands alone at tho eastern end of the chain of communications. With the Canadian Pacific Steamship and Railway linos In active oper ation Japan should bo the center of the Eastern trade, and accordingly Japanose merchants aro urged to bo up and doing. It Is suggested that the native steamship companies connect Hong Kong and Singapore with Yokohama, and possibly extend the line to Australia later, thus increasing the number of feeders of the Canadian Pacific. Whatever tho result may be tho officials of tho Canadian Pacific have succeeded in arousing to a very high pitch Japaneso commercial energy and ambition. A NEW BOOK BY THE QUEEN.
