London, June 29.—The most s'rniflcant speech made by any member of the Irish party since the return of the Tories to power was made by Michael Davitt this afternoon at a great mass meeting held in Hyde Park to protest against the proposed amendment to the reform bill, whioh would disfranchise every man who had obtained medical reiki at tho public cost within a year of any election. Mr. Davitt had little to say on that subject, but he clearly outlined the attitude of the Irish Nationalist party toward the new government. There have been many indications of late that the Nationalists fe?l encouraged by the downfall of the Gladstone ministry, the supplanting of Earl Spencer and the defeat of coercion to extend their demands and to put their price higher than ever for any support rendered to the government Before the Whigs and Radicals went out of power ths Irish members wef£ willing enough to have Radical help in defeating coercion. Now they art giving notice to the Radicals that their help is not wanted and that they cannot use the Irish grievances as a stalking horse behind which to creep back to power.

He behaved himself quietly during the night and was down here with me a great deal during the evening. I felt anxioos aboift him. and sent Mr. Walter Hime up to the Gilsey house and found that Mr. McCullough was in bed. Friday morning he came down to see mt( waa about the house, and had a cup of ooffec. He talked in a very irrational manner about many things, and I saw that he Was wea'i and infirm on his feet. I wanted him to go to the barber shop and pet his hair cut and have a shave. This be did not want to do, but I prevailed upon him to walk down to the bat store, and presented him with a hat and got him in good humor, but I saw ho was shaky ou his legs, and as he started to r across the street to Delmonico's saw be was about to fa:L I brought him back to the house, and he said he was going to St. Louis, and insisted upon it I knew it was not necessary for him to go there. 'I could not go myself, and it was not safe for him to go without some one to accompany him. Dr. W. C. McFarland, of No. 54 West Twenty-sixth street, was in the home at tha time, and said, as he had often said before, that if McCullough was allowed to wander about bo might hurt himself or somobody also. I had asked Dr. McFarland several times before about the necessity of having - o-uething done, and he suggested to ma that something should be done and at once, as McCullough waa liable to injure himself at some of his friends at any time. He was not in a state of mind to be allowed to roam tha streets. I have probably a hundred letters from his friends throughout the country —Mr. John B.

Benson was horror stricken, and without continuing his hunt he loft the woods and aroused the people of,the village. In an hour half the male population were on the spot, and all sorts of plans were proposed to cut the body down. No one, however, would venture to climb the tree, as the body hung close by the trunk, and the hideous sight and overpowering stench made even the hardiest among thom hesitate. Finally Benson and George Soott returned to the village, and procuring axes cut tlx tree down, taking care to fell it so that the body would fall uppermost This was done, and then Justice Fitzgerald made an examinat.on of the body. It was that of a man apparently 45 years old, five feet ten inches in height, and weighing about 2)0 pounds, the features, so far as recognition was possible, indicating that he was an American. The body was dressed in neatly fitting clothes of dark texture and fine quality.
