Characteristics of Some of the Leaders, Speoial to the Indianapolis News..

WASHINGTON, D. C., January 7.— Now that the speaker has decided upon his committee chairmen, it may be interesting to know something of the personnel of the gentlemen who are to lead the various committees and have the virtual control of legislation in the house.

Mr. Morrison, the head of the ways and means committee, is so well known_ and has been so often described that details in his case would be superfluous. He has not changed mnch .since he figured on the floor of the house last year as the head of the ways and means committee and champion of the horizontal tariff reduction. His full iron gray beard, which is usually kept well trimmed, is a little grayer, and his short cropped hair* which covers his head is well grizzled. About the_ only change in his appearance is that his suit of clothes is a little more modern. He has discarded the old fashioned black coat which used to hang from his broad shoulders, and in its place wears a dark blue-cutaway, buttoned well up in front and relieved by a fairly respectable scarf, which covers the Bhirt front that used to be prominent in his last year's lowcut vest and open coat. Morrison cares very littleior his personal appearance or his manners. He is gruff and rather unapproachable. He is, of course, a thoroughly posted man in regard to the subects which will come before the ways -and means committee but when you have said this you have said all there is to be told as to his fitness for this imporant place. He is neither a leader nor a debater. He hasn'Uhe slightest amount of personal magnetism, nor has he a voice to command or to debate.

Mr. Randall, the head of the appropriations committee, is the reverse of Morrison in many particulars. He is a ready man in debate. His voice is clear, and sharp and penetrating, and he holds his friends closely. He is not what could be ealled an approachable man, but his friendships are warm and lasting, and when you know him well you may always depend upon an audience with him if there is room for it, upon the floor of the house. He is a wonderful power. His sentences are keen and incisive his speeches are always short and crisp, and he can accomplish more in five minutes than your average

The average of permanent clerks from the beginning to date does not exceed three, possibly four, including a temporary clerk. Only one is how employed."

Mr. VanWyck thought it extraordinary that tbe commission did not know how many clerk's it had. He did like that expression, "Three, possibly four."

IRELAND'S CHANCES

An English M. P. Vlsltln* this ntry With the mission ot Modlfyln&Pnbiic Sentiment on tbe Irish Question, Airs

His Views to a Correspondent. Special Dispatch to the Enquirer. NEW YORK, N. Y., January 6.—

The Irish question has still an absorbing interest on this side of the water, where so many Irishmen have found homes. The opponents of a separate establishment for Ireland among the English leaders have found that American sentiment is playing a powerful part in the contest with Parnell, and have sent over agents to see if it can not be counteracted. They might as well try to stay the tide. But it is instructive to hear what the Englishmen have to Bay for themselves.

Hon. Charles E. Lewis, M. P., who is here to test publio opinion, speaking of the Irish situation to me to-nigh Vdis-c'.-sed anew line of though with .Terence to the matter. Replying to my general inquiry for information, he said to me: "It is proper that I_ should, before saying anything, acquaint you with my gwn position. I hold the peculiar position of being essentially an English member of parliament, yet representing an Irish constituency that is known as the citadel of Irish protestantism in- Ireland—the city of Derry. have all my life been conservative, by instinct, education, connection and working. For thirty years I have been active in and out of parliament as a conservative. I have beed thirteen years in parliament At the end of all this time and Work I find myself in a position of substantial differ ence from my party and the ministry in power on the Irish question. I am satisfied that from the past conduct of my party leaders when in power that they are prepared to make concessions in the matter of legislation leading up to home rule in Ireland, although they absolutely repudiate any wish to concede such a measure. "I maintain, as a conservative member of parliament, that it is a distinct disadvantage to tne imperial interests of the ynited Kingdom^ and more especially to

A column of French troops were sent in pursuit of the rebels, tt overtook and routed them, and captured their arms and ammunition.

the Protestant and loyalist interest? in Ireland, that at this most serious and critical. juncture in Irish affairs the conservative party should be in office with a large majority in the house of commons against ithem. It is perfectly obvious that, while it they had been in the opposition they wohtd have stoutly resisted measures not only directly, but indirectly, and even remotely tending to separation, they will now, being in office, not only be prepared to concede, but will themselves propose measures that will tend directly and lead up to, as well as encourage the violent and persistent demands, on the part of the Parnellites, for a separate parliament. The painful history of. the past, in the case of the conservative ministries attempting to carry the government, although in a sibstantial minority, .willj if Lord Salisbury's government continues, be repeated to the renewed discredit and disaster of the conservative party."

POSITION 07 THE LIBERA IA? "What about the liberals "AB Jregards the position o" party, I have no doubt whaf informal intimation of supposed views and intentionb'made two or ibxsg weeks ago was substantially correcj, though poisibly'ih a strict^seiise unauthorized. He has never denied it, although he has disputed any authority for the announcement. This serious, nay, portentious accident has altered the wfiole aspect of the questibn, and especially the relation of the liberal party to it. On the other hand, I do not believe that Mr. Gladstone will be able to carry anyjarge number of men of the first rank in the liberal party with him in any such programme, and that the mere suggestion of it as a policy has already injured his own prestige and power, while on the other hand it has created considerable dismay and disorganization among the rank and file of the liberal party throughout England and Scotland. Whatever might have been the position of affairs, supposing the liberals in office, it is clear to me that, considering the feeling pervading all the population of the United kingdom, except 2,000,000 or 2,500,000 of Irishmen, in favor of union, the radical party, which, after all, will absorb very soon the whole of the so called liberal element, Will find it far more profitable and expedient to adopt the union cry than to support separati^*1. At the same time they will be as much prepared as the conservative party to play with the fire in the matter of making or offering to make all sorts of concessions tending toward ultimate separation, while they will be utterly ineffectual as expedients to stifle the Parnell agitation."The Parnellites have much comfort in such a view "As regards the only consistent party in the whole transaction, the Parnellites —and let me say that I look on Mr. Parnell as the greatest conqueror of modern times—their power has Deen entirely created by the imbecility and cupidity for office of the two great parties in the United Kingdom. Both the great parties have played into the hands of that, factien in such a manner as to justly incur the ridicule and contempt openly exed of their proceedings^ by Mr. Healy and others. d^As illustration, in the ^-Sstion of extending the franchise recently in Ireland, the result of which has been 86* immensely to increase Parnell's brigade, Mr. Healy in a recent speech cynically gloated over the fact that during the progress of the bill through the house Of commons he and his colleagues had bamboozled the house into the belief that tHey cared but little about the success or results of that measure, whereas they then realized, as they do now, its immense importance in giving vasl^impetus to their power in progress." s"

HOME RULE.

"Will Ireland get home rule?" "It is impossible that she shall get a separate government, although it is not improbable that she will be allowed to have a parliamentary organization, which will correspond to ycur state legislature, and be allowed to regulate her own local affairs. Such a body, however, can only lead to compete separation." ...

Shocking Condition of the Tene ment Houses Owned by Trinity Onuroh.

Fierce Snow Storms la Iowa, Hln nesota, Missouri and British America.

Tbe Committee Examining the Hamilton County Returns Beady to Report,

TRINITY'S TFNEMENTS.

facia Revealed by an Investigation "by.the Constitution Club, New York.

NHW YOBX, N. Y., January 7.— The Herald this morning says: Last November the Constitution club appointed a committee to examine into the condition of the tenement houses of New York City. Last evening Dr. Gunn, chairman of the committee, made a verbal report to the club. He said: "I have learned that Trinity church is the owner of the worst tenement houses in the city. Triniey church has the universal reputation, I find, among the wretched people who are forced to live in such places, of twing the hardest and meanest landlord in New York. The policy of the Trinity church corporation is to never make repairs on a tenement house, but to let it actually fall to pieces until no one, however wretched, can live in it Then the corporation tears it down, and builds a store or warehouse or a comparatively expensive flat house. It never spends its money to improve the condition of the poor. I may seem to be making sweeping accusations, but I know whereof I speak. Let any one who wishes to verify my statements go to the building at No. 34 Laight street, which is owned by Trinity church, and is inhabited by 200 people. On the ground floor on the Laight street side is a liquor store although Trinity church professes never to rent it to liquor dealers. The building is in the most terrible condition imaginable. The floors of the halls are covered with filth from overflowed sinks and closets. The halls are so dark that it is almost impossible to see one's hand before one's face. The stairways are crooked. The skylights on the top floor are kept fastened, and how any human beings can live in such a den it is difficult to imagine. No. 63 Watts street, is.another tenement house owned by Trinity church and rented to its occupants' directly frem the Trinity church office. My attention was called to it by an outbreak of scarlet fever some months ago. The father of the sick children went to Trinity office and complained of the defective plumbing. He was told that if he didn't like it he could get out The cellar, gentlemen, was filled a foot deep with sewage that had leaked from the broken pipes. The floors from the halls were so covered with filth from the same source that it neadened the sound of our footsteps. The board of health was notified and was forced to order Trinity to make some repairs, as scarlet fever was a contagious disease."

mittee on privileges and elections of the house of representatives returned from Cincinnati at noon to-day, where they had gone to examine the election returns on republicans from that county.

Subpoenas were ordered for the clerk of the Supreme court to appear before the committee with a certified copy of the Hamilton county circuit court records, transcripts of which were used in the late mandamus cases.

Thtse records were con sidered by the committee in executiv*session.
