Mr. Foster's statement in preference to that of Mr. Allison, who was necessarily ignorant of the nuestion. Mr. Allison W hen it comes I shall be ready for it. Mr. Voorhees Yes. Mr. Allison What I meant to say "was this: That, it the statements are trne that theft Indians have been starving then those wh. believe it should invite an inquiry. I have not been on the reservation and know sotting respecting the truth or falsity of the statement. Mr. Voorhees But yon declare with great earnestness that you do not believe a word that Governor Foster has said on this subject. Now I have this to say concerning Mr. Foster. The committee on Indian raffairs can summon biin by telegraph and can examine and cross-examine him. That is thewaytojtet at the facts of the case. Here is his statement given to the public. The committee on Indian affairs has full power to call Mr. Foster and General Miles before it and it is its duty to dot so. Mr. Foster says in this interview: "Sitting Bull is only a feeble old man, hardly re spected in his tribe," and yet the Senator from Massachusetts seems to lay the whole blame on him. .Mr. Dawes General Miles told me the last thing before he took the cars that Sit ting bull was the greatest Indian that has lived in this country. Mr. Voorhces Why not send for General Miles and have him before the committee on Indian atlairsf Mr. Da wes General Miles has no personal knowledge on the subject of the nprising of the Sioux. He has been on the Pacific coast for the last two or three' years, and has come to his new assignment very lately. Ex-Governor Foster got all his information on the subject from the Sioux over a year and a half ago. Mr. Voorhees read some further extracts j'xom the Foster interview, and then, referring to Mr. Dawes's criticism of the newspapers, said: T thank God for newspaper men, especially in dark places, and to every newspaper man who has thrown a single ray of l&bt on this miserable business I return nwr heartfelt and profound thanks. Newspaper men may get things wrong sometimes, but, in the main, in the great volume of what they do, they contribute to the light and knowledge of the world and to the cause of justice. That is what I have to say to the Senator from Massachusetts in reference to his criticism of newspaper men." After remarks by Messrs. Stewart, Vest and Morgan the joint resolution was amended so as to apply to the States of North and South Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska, and was passed. ' Mr. Morgan introduced a joint resolution, which went over until to-morrow, appropriating $5,000 for an investigation, under the orders of the Senate, as to the causes of discontent and outbreak among the Sioux Indians and other tribes.

APPEAL TO THIS GREAT FATTIER. Twelve Sloax Indians Ask for More Cations What the Law Trorldes For. Special to the Indianapolis' Journal. - Washington, Dec 4. The following memorial, sigued by twelve Sionx Indians, received by the President, has been referred to the acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs: Rosebud Agency, Nov. 6. To The Great Father: This day I will write you a letter with a good heart. When we pave up the Black II ills you told us In that treaty that a man would get three pounds of beef a day; the meaning was three Xounds for one man. Besides, you said we could pet icxxl Juat like the soldiers. You did not, however, Kit e it to us at this rate. Great Father, we are starving, and beg you, therefore, to Rive to us Just so (as you have promised.) Thirty men of us get for eighteen dajs only one cow to eat. That is the reason I mention it. And if you do not well understand, send me (iloilow Horn Bear) traveling money and I will come with live men. Great Father, if you do not want to do this, then pleae let us have a soldier for our father (agent) when our present father's term is out. Great Father, please do us this favor. In re pi j to this memorial acting Commissioner Bell, in a letter to Secretary Noble, says that the law docs not promise the Indians "food just like soldiers," bnt only a ration of beef, ilonr. bacon, coffee, sugar and, beans, or such, other articles in lieu thereof as the Commissioner of Indian Affairs may decide. In reply to the charges .that the Indians signed an agreement that rations would not be reduced, and that the supply was reduced 2,000,000 pounds, and that those signing the agreement felt imposed upon, Mr. liell says: "The Indians received rations to the full amount warranted by the appropriations made by Congress." In ref ard to the complaint made by General trooke that the Indians did not get the additional supply of beef, Mr. liell says that in view of the fact that, owing to the drought of last summer and the scarcity of f :razing on the reservation, the cattle delivered under contracts in October last will no doubt shrink considerably during the coming winter, when severe weather prevails and the range grazing is difficult and scarce. A tabulated statement accompanies the letter, showing the .amount of supplies furnished the several agencies, and it is stated that in addition to the supplies there was expended in open market prior to the passage of the Indian appropriation act, and subsequently, but before contracts were executed and approved, large sums. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day transmitted to the House of Kepresentatives a communication from the Interior Department requesting that an appropriation of $100,000 be at once made for the purchase of beef and other-provisions for the ioax Indians on account of the reduced appropriation made for the lisc.il year ended J tine SO. 1S00. A draft of a bill for the purpose is submitted, and acting Indian Commissioner - Bell, in a long letter to Secretary Noble, earnestly urges the necessity of speedy and favorable action in order to remove the feeling the Sioux are said to entertain that the government has no regard for them now that they have got the Indian lands by. the cession of a large part of the Sionx reservation. General Schotield received a telegram today from General Brooke suyinc that forty lodges of Indians have left Hose bud agency since the removal of the camp across White river to the edge of the Bad lands, and that there are strong symptoms of disintegration, as about half of the Indiana seem to be willing to come back to the agency. General Brooke also says that from all he can gather as to their intentions a majority of the Indians want to conQ back. War Department officials are very mnch gratified at this intelligence tending to indicate a speedy settlement of trouble. ARMY HAS FULL SWAY. Secretary Noble Puts the Indians Under Control of the Military for the Present. Chicago, Dec. 4. General Miles said this morning that he would go to the Northwest in a day or two to direct the military arrangements being made in the Indian country. In the meantime Captain Ewers, of the Fifth Infantry, now at Pierre, will go to the Cheyenne agency and get in communication with Hump, one of the leading chiefs of the northern Cheyenne tribe, who will be told to bring into the agency Horse Koads, Iron Shields and all of his people. General Miles in an interview stated: "We have overwhelming evidence from officers, inspectors, and the testimony of agents, as well, and also from the Indians themselves, that they have been suffering for the want of food, more or less, for two years past, and one of the principal causes of disaffection is this very matter. One of the objects of my recent visit to Washington was to urge the necessity of immediate relief, and I am happy to say that success has crowned my e Hurts. The Secretary of the Interior has ordered an increase of rations and has asked Congress .to appropriate the necessary money. General Brooke . telegraphs this morning from Pino Kidge. saying: 'There has been an issue of rations excepting beef The orders to the agent at this agency from the Secretary of the Interior increases the Indians' rations but slightly in meat." The following order, addressed to the Commissioner of Indian A Hairs, has been issued to the Indian agents among the Sioux: Sir You wdl convey to the several agents on duty among the Sioux the following order, which Is hereby marie: "During the present Indian troubles you are Instructed that while yon hall continue all tbe bu.ines and carry into effect tbe edncntional and other pmposes of your agency, you will, as to all operations intended to suppress any outbreak by force, cooperate with and obey the orders of the military officer commanding on the reservation in your charge. Very respectfully. John W. Noble, Secretary. This order, said an army officer at headquartern, virtually turns over the absolute control of the Indians to tbe military. At army headquarters through the entire drjr General Miles was very busy, being en

gaged principally in answering telegrama to commanding o Ulcers who are now en route to the Northwest, where the Indian excitement prevails and where there are already . in camp a large force of troops. During the afternoon General Williams received from Washington the official order dated Nov. 28, ltfJO, relieving General: Williams from duty as assistant adjutant-; general of tbe Division of the Missouri and' ordering him to report in person to the adjutant-general of the armyat Washington for duty in his office. Upon the receipt of this official order General Williams , at once turned over the command of assistant adjutantgeneral to Colonel Corbin, who at once entered upon the discharge of the duties connected therewith. General Miles, at 10 o'clock to-night, had not received any dispatches from the Northwest containing information of the least alarming character. "Every indication is that all is quiet tonight' said the General. The Seventh Infantry, which is now en route from Denver to Dakota, has been ordered to proceed to Pierre, S. D.. without delay. General Miles will, in all probability, start for the Northwest on Sunday and will be accompanied by several of the army attaches at head-, quarters, and also by one of the assistant' surgeons. General Williams expects to leave for Washington the first of the coming week. DIGGING RIFLE-PITS.

Indians Said to Be Fortiiylng Their Position In the It ad Lands and Storing Provisions. Omaha, Neb., Dec. 4. A correspondent at Pine Kidge agency, South Dakota, says: The hostile Indians are making use of every moment's delay on the part of the military to move on them by strengthening their now almost impregnable camp in the dreaded Bad Lands. The' five or six hundred squaws with them are working day and night' digging rifle-pits about the camp. This is something very unusual, if not wholly unprecedented, on the part 'of Indians preparing for war. The reason for this move is, our scout says, more to insure the protection of tbe immense quantities of stolen beef and provisions in the camp than to insure a great slaughter of soldiers. Tho moment that tbe4 supplies are captured by the military that moment tho Imlians must surrender unless their thirstfor blood i3 so intense as to lead them to fight until thoy are downed either by starvation or by United States bullets. At best, whether the military can capture tbe bulk of the hostile' supplies or not, the Indians have undoubtedly secreted small 'quantities sufficient in the aggregate to run them for at least eight or ten weeks. Agent Koyer fullilled his promise to reward tbe "frieudlies" who continue staying in the vicinity of the agency and has made a special issue of provisions. More than five hundred squaws presented themselves at the storehouse yesterday and went away loaded down with food. There was not a male Indian in the throng. It is rumored that Two Strike, the chief under whom the hostiles are marshaled, is wheeling around within shooting distance of the agency for the purpose of getting additional pointers on the military. Ylews of the Ponca Commission; Omaha, Neb., Dec. 4. At a meeting last night of the Ponca Indian commission, held n this city, to consider the troubles among the Sioux Indians, the following resolution was adopted: We believe that the only remedy for the Indian troubles on our reservation is the establishment of a government of law on these portions of our national domain, and would respectfully call upon patriotic citizens Kast and West to investigate this position and uphold by voice, vote and influence this proposition to extend to the Indian tho cheap but priceless benefits of just and equitable laws. A SCULPTOR'S . DOWNFALL. Launt Thompson Sentenced to BlackwelTs C Island for Drunkenness. New York Special to St Louis Globe-Democrat Launt Thompson, M. A., the well-known sculptor, was arrested last night in his studio. No. 176 Fifth avenue, while suffering from an attack of delirinm tremens, and was sentenced to-day to thirty days on Hlackweir island in defanl of $300 bail. It took two policemen to arrest Thompson on Tuesday night. When he was arriagned in Jefferson Market Court, to-day. Justice Gorman looked at him and said: "Your face and your name are both familiar. Surely, you are not the sculptor!" "1 am7 said lhompson. "Too bad, too bad,'' said the Justice, and then John Snedecor.whohad causedThompson's arrest, told of the trouble he had had with Thompson. lie said he believed the sculptor was insane. Thompson said that Suedecor did not tell the truth. lie denied that he had been drunk. The Justice believed Snedecor. Unless the $300 bail is furnished Thompson will be sent to the island. It will be tho second time he has been there. Last year he got into a row with a cabman and was arrested. lie gave the name of Johnston at the police-station, and was sent to the island under that name. Thompson is a relative of Bishop Potter. He has a brother who is a minister in Valparaiso. He is an Irishman by birth, fiftyseven years old. He came to America when he was fourteen years old and went to Albany, where he entered the office of a professor of anatomy. While there he occupied his leisure hours in drawing, but later he eutered a medical college. When Erastus D. Palmer, the sculptor, offered to receive him as his pupil he gladly availed himself of tho opportunity, and abandoned medicine for art. He worked in Palmer's studio for nine years, producing Several portrait" busts and ideal beads of merit, and in 1859 came to New York city. Here, having fthown a talent for medallion portraits, he found ample employment. He became an associate of the Academy of Design in 1859, ana three years later his bust, "The Trapper,'7 secured his election as an academician. In 1SG3 andlSCG he was in Rome, and in 1S75 he went again to Italy, remaining until 1881, in which year he returned to New York. In 1874 be was vice-president of the National Academy.

PARNELL NOT YET OUSTED L Exciting Debate Between Nationalists Over the Proposed Compromise. Scenes of Great Disorder at the Meeting Lord f fc'ajistmrj Talks on the (situation Irish n Envoys Conclude to Wait Awhile.

PARNELL MUST GO. Cl&ncy's Compromise Proposition Not Acceptable to a aiajority of the Nationalists. London, Dec. 4. The Nationalist memberj 3 of the liouso of Commons met again at nocm,.to-day, to f nrther consider the ques tion of Mr. Parnell's leadership. All the Irish jncrabers at present in London were in attendance. Mr. Parnell occupied the chair,' After the meeting had been called to order, one of the members read tho manifesto"! hsaea yesterday by the Catholic hierarchy in Ireland, declaring that in consequence of the revelations of the O'Shea divorce case, which convicted Mr. Parnell of one of the gravest offenses known to religion apd societ. Catholic Ireland cannot accept as a leader a man wholly dishonored, and that the continuance of his leadership would imperil the cause of Ireland. The reading of the manifesto was greeted with cheering by Mr. Parnell?a opponents. Mr. Clancy then offered his amendment, which provided that in view of tho difference of opinion between Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Parnell as to the accuracy of the latter7! recollection of the suggestions made to him by Mr. Gladstone at the Ha warden meeting a year ago, the party whips be instructed to obtain from Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Morley and Sir William Vcrnon-Harcourt, . before "v further consideration of the main qnodtion, information on the depart ure from the bill of 18S. made by Mr. Gladstone.in bis suggestions upon the control of the; Irish constabulary and the settlement of the laud question. A prolonged debate took place on the amendment. Mr. Parnell intimated that if the party took the responsibility off his shoulders and would insist upon the Liberal leaders promising to carry an acceptable home-rule bill through the House of Commons in the face of all opposition, ho would retire from the leadership. Ho asked the meeting to accept Mr. Clancy?s resolution, whereupon he said the' Alliance between the Nationalists and Liberals would be renewed. Ir. Healy refused to submit to Mr. Parnell's stipulation. He declared that they were even beyond the linea of the compromise suggested at yesterday's meeting. Mr. Sextou declared that the majority of the members were firmly determined to adhere to the main question and would simply vote that Mr. Parnell mus,t resign. After remaining in session until 5:45 r. M. the meeting adjourned. It will reassemble at noon to-morrow. A rumor was circulated this afternoon to tho effect that a division had been taken by the Nationalist meeting on Mr. Clancy's amendment, and that it had been rejected. Inquiry proved that there was r.o truth in the rumor. On the contrary, the latest phase of the situation bids fair for an agreement, a committee having been appointed to wait upon Mr. Gladstone, and endeavor to obtain from him the assurances desired bv Mr. Parnell. The committee consists of Messrs. Parnell, Sexton, Healy,Justin McCarthy. John Kedmond, Deasey, Power and L,eamy. Mr. Parnell will take no part in the negotiations with Mr. Gladstone. Hefore the appointment of the committee Mr. Parnell asked tho meeting for an informal show of hands on Mr. Clancy's amendment. This disclosed the fact that only Messrs. Barry and Chance continued to hold ont against the amendment Besides Mr. Gladstone, the committee will also see Sir William Vernon-Harconrt, and Mr. Morley will -endeavor to conclude the negotiations to-morrow. - . - During yesterday's discussion on Mr. Clancy's proposed amendment Mr. Clancy announced that he. had authority for the statement that Mr. Parnell would retire if the communications with Mr. Gladstone had a satisfactory result. Mr. John Redmond confirmed Mr. Clancy's statement. Mr. Sexton said the announcement bad given him great gratification and enabled him to hope that Mr. Parnell would voluntarily resign tiis position under circumstances that would enable those differing with him now to agree that he had-made his retirement from public life the means of obtaining an advantage for his country. Cheers. ' r Mr. Timothy Healy, speaking with emotion, said that if Parnell felt able to meet the party iu the poiuts put forward his . voice would be the first, at the first moment possible consonant with the liberties of his country, to call Parnell back to his proper place as leader of the Irish race. This declaration was greeted with enthusiastic cheers. ! : M. Chance neld that Mr. Clancy's proposal raised a false issue and could not possibly effect a settlement, an assertion that brought cries of dissent from many of! the members. . Mr. Parnell here asked the meeting to pause for twenty-four hours in order that he might consider whether his retirement from public life should be governed by the decision of the party or bv his own views regarding the nature of the replies of the English statesmen to vital questions, such as the control of the police, the future powers of the Irish Parliament and the land question.' Upon this Mr. Sexton moved that the meeting adjourn until today. The committee appointed "by the meeting has sent a letter to Mr. Gladstone asking him to open ' negotiations for a future home-rule bill. Mr. Gladstone expressed bis willingness to interchange views with the committee, but reserved the right to choose the members with whom to negotiate. . At the opening of the Nationalist meet ing to-day, Mr. Parnell acceded to Mr. Sexton's request 1 to avoid contention by not reading telegrams addressed to either party. Mr. Sexton denied that he had ever proposed that Mvl'arnell retire from public life, and said he only meant that he should retire from tbe chairmanship of the Irish party. ' PARNELL TELLS OF HIS OWN SERVICES. Mr. Parnelf then proceeded to deal with the Clancy proposal. He commenced' by announcing that, after consulting with his friends, he had decided that he could not bind himself "to retire until he could see Mr. Gladstone's reply. He declared that his position had ooen granted him, not merely as a leader of a party, but as. a leader of a nation. This bad been derived from a train of cirennistances in which, speaking with the greatest respect, his hearers had ;iio share. After speaking of his services in assimilating and soothing the prejudices of the discordant elements of the Iristrrace throughout the world, Mr. Parnell continued: "You know and I know there is no man living, if I am gone, who could succeed in reconciling tho f eelings of the Irish people to the Hawarden proposals. Cheers.1 As you wish to withdraw from me this responsibility 1 think it onlv reasonable that you should give iudsrment on these matters lor the benefit of ! your constituents. Therefore 1 submit this resolution, that the party accept no homerule bill unless it gives immediate control of the police and power to deal with land. My word 'has been grievously challenged with regard to the accuracy of my account of the liaiyarden interview, but no attempt has been made to prove its inaccuracy. It is for you to act in this matter. You are dealing with a man who is an unrivaled sophist." Mr. Barry Which one? Mr. Parnell You are dealing with a man from whom it is Impossible to get a direct answer. (1As for me, it is impossible for me to give au indirect answer. ICriea of "on." "oh." Mr. Gladstone is capable of wording to sepuro a majority at the elections which wjll render htm independent of both the Iri&hand Conservative parties. If you throw Jirie to him, get my value by securing a pledge of a satisfactory home-rule bill. Mr.r Parnell reminded bis hearers that, although the bill of 1SSG was inadequate, he had consulted Sexton. Davitt and other ieadprs, before accepting it He declared it atro-eioysly unfair to use against him bis geno'ralAcquieacence in the details of that bill, lie admitted that he was willing to do his l3t to reconcile tbe prejudice of the Irish people in regard to the control of the police. r He was willing to. risk his position in. (thai direction perhaps to do wrong arjd exceed his duty. "And Gladstone known." he continued. "that in striking me down he strikes down the only man that could make that measure acceptable to Ireland. Gladstone himself put it but of my power to remain longer silent on tho Hawarden proposals." In conclusion tbe speaker made references to what j ho termed "Mr, Gladstone's, am-

bfguity." He had many dealings with him, but never got a straight answer. Ho added that ho was quite willfbr to resign to them the task of ne6nation. but wanted them fully to nndefttand their responsibility. If his lesolution was accepted and the Liberal replfel were satisfactory, he would place hinistlf in? their hands. n i SCENT2S OF GREAT DISORDER. Mr. Parnell having suggested the appointment of a committee, Mr. Healy expressed amazement at Parn ell's extraordinary speech, and, in a heated altercation with the chair, protes&d against the adding of neV; conditions to the Clancy amendment ' Mr Parnell, he said, wanted to withdraw the question of the leadership and substitctelor it a discussion on borne rule. Did he think they were children? They could get neither straight conduct nor straight answers from him. i ;i Mr. Parnell replied that he had given his answer. He regretted that' tas not considered straight, but by it 'hs would stand or fall. " Mr. Healy-Then you wtyl ail. What's the use of further discusslbnt A tremendous uproar followed. Leamy shouted, "Away with hinV John O'Connor yelled, "Crucify him," and a scene of wild disorder ensued. When quiet was finally restored Mr. Healy, resuming, said nothing ' could change his determination to depose Parnell.. He would tell rMl. Parnell that he was no greater than tbo majority of the party. The pledge to abide by the decision of the majority was absolute. Yet Mr. Parnell talked of defying Jt ; He complained of Mr. Parnell's conduct in 1890, not in 1886. Proceeding to discuss tb circumstances of the 188C bill, Mr. Healy. declared that they could not do more now, than then. Mr. Parnell interposed:' "You can secure the ground now, if youilke, and havo the courage." tCbeersJ m Mr. Healy Yes, with millions of men and artillery; but without! we have no other alternative than in JSS6--to accept Liberal proposals or smash tho Cabinet. Mr. Healy said he belie.ved there would be enough statesmanship, t in tbe benighted majority who opposed Parnell to take a course as statesmanlike as that of 1SSS. Mr. Healy commenced to read Mr. Parnell' speech, ;' delivered at the birthday banquet'- given. at the Westminster Palace; Hotel, six months after the Hawarden interview, declaring the independence of the Irish party ana eulogizing the alliance with Gladstone. , "Would iuv Parnell cheer thatP asked Mr. Healy. Mr. Parnell Yes; every word of it An angry duel of words followed, Mr. Healy repeating Ml.; Parnell's recent remarks about Mr. Gladstone's garrnlonsness, etc. . He finished by asking "Who broke the alliance?' . Mr. Parnell and Mr, Nolan both exclaimed "The Gladstone letter." . Mr. .Healy retorted. "It perished from the stench of the divorce court." Loud cheersj Mr. Parnell I believe that if the Gladstone letter had not been written the alliance wonld have been maintained. Mr. Healy then proceeded to defend Mr. Gladstone. He said that Parnell had bespattered Mr. Gladstone's gray hairs with mud, and now he wanted the Irish members to go hat in , hand and ask Mr. j Gladstone for terms. What answer could they expect? They would continue to fight, claiming they were on the ground of prudence and justice. He was willing to endure taunts as he had endured a dread of slavery in Parliament. Cheers and counter-cheers.) If Mr. Parnell succumbed he was only one man gone. The heads of greater leaders had been stricken off at the block before now for Ireland,' and the Irish cause had remained Mr. Sexton said he had, listened to Mr. Healy with disappointment and regret Would Mr. Parnell resign, he asked, if a majority voted for tbe acceptance of Mr. Gladstone's reply. Mr. parnell Certainly. Mr. Bany asked for a further explananation, and Mr. Parnell vehemently replied: "I have stated with distinctness that I will not give a further answer." i LORD SALISBURY'S VIEWS.

Gladstone and Parnell's Opponents Scored for'Their Conduct In the Political Crisis. London, Dec. 4. Lord Salisbury, in his speech at Waterford, Lancashire, last night, asked what right Messrs. Healy and Soxton and otherswho were trying to hound Mr. Parnell to earth, had to pose as apostles of domestic purity. First, they backed Parnell and then the Seventh Commandment, changing from one horse to another, with as much indifference and cynicism as a man hedging on a race-course changes when he hears something detrimental to his favorite. , "If," said ' Lord Salisbury, "the enthusiasm of the Healyites is disinterested, it is worthy of the highest applause, but if it is merely a screen for political maneuvers it is worthy of the deepest condemnation.7' Lord Salisbury proceeded to denounce tbe Gladstonians for offering the chief secretaryship for Ireland to Parnell while the foulest things were alleged of him and Captain O'Shea'a action for divorce was pending. -''Would anyone," he asked, 'selecfc as a partner, banker or agent a man against w bora an action for swindling was pending t" - Lord Salisbury made sarcastic references to Mr. Gladstone's recollection of his interview with Mr. Parnell at Hawarden in November last and recalled the differences between Lord Carnarvon and Mr. Parnell as to vsbat occurred between them at their confidential interview some years ago. He said no Liberal then thought it a scandal to believe Mr. Parnell's statements, and why should they think o now. Mr. Gladstone's denial did not amount to mnch. It was due largely to the brilliant hues of his own imagination and ought to be received witn a certain amount of judicious criticism. Referring to the proposals in regard, to Irish afiairs mado by Mr. Gladstone, as divulged by Mr. Parnell, Lord Salisbury declared that the land question would De a subordinate one if au Irish Parliament had control of the police,. because the control of the police includes the control of all legislation in regard to property. Mr. Gladstone's proposals, his Lordship asserted, were ingenious, and he was surprised that Parnell's virtue had compelled him to refuse them. Had they been carried into effect every landlord in Ireland would havo concluded that it would be a very advantageous bargain to sell his land at one-tenth of its present value1, , Cheers and laughter.! 1 Declaring that if Parliament ever reconsidered its constitution the first question discussed would be theexcessive representation of Ireland, Lord: balisbury, at great length, showed the objections to allowing self-governed Ireland 'to send thirty-two members to interfere in English politics, especially after the revelations mado recently touching the .kind of men Irish representatives are, ana reminded his audience that when the English government was defeated it was almost always by a majority much under thirty-two. His Lordship dilated upon the folly of intrusting the government of Ireland to such men. Mr. Gladstone, he said; proposed to withhold land legislation. Jiqw long does he suppose that would be possible? An Irish Parlianientwould refuse supplies, and then what would he dot A ; Dwelling upon what he called the policy of "double shullle," Lord Salisbury declared that tho disgusting details of tbe O'Sbea divorce case were not the real cause of 'the antogouism between the powerful furies now ranged againet, each other. Mr. Gladstone was bent upon the impossible enterprise of uniting tbe,. English Liberal, who is dead against separation, and tbe Irish Nationalist,' who cares for nothing else. He only succeeded while things were quiet by reticence and tbe use of ambiguous language. "I care not" saidhis Lordship, "whether Paroeli wins or not It may be a weakness of human nature, but perhaps I prefer a man fighting desperately for his life to a crewwhom be has made and who are now against l?im. But I am certain that we now face realities. It is no longer possible by dark outlines of policy to effect an impossible coalition." Lord Salisbury concluded his address with an eulogy of the work and policy of tho Conservative party. r m ;c 4i :v , THE IRISH DELEGATES!1, j -. n .. .

ters at the Grand Pacific Hotel. The change of programme was due to a dispatch received before daybreak from Justin McCarthy to the effect that a solntion of the existing .difficulty was being considered which would enable the delega tion ' to resume its tonr of the country without sacrificing the political position or self-respect of those of its members whose signatures were attached to the anti-Par nell manifesto. Whether this referred to the probable defeat of the compromise proposition by the London meeting to-day Mr. O'Brion would not say, but at a later hour to-night it was given out that the future movements of ' the visitors were more uncertain than they have been at any time for the past twenty-four hours, although it was probable that Harrington would leave for the Kast to-morrow. The cable dispatches received during the day were not of a reassuring character, and, as one of the delegation put it, they are literally between the "devil and the deep sea." Messrs. Gill and Sullivan arrived to-night from Dayton with the report that last night's meeting was a success financially and in a patriotic sense, but that no references to Parnell were indulged in. Tonight cablegrams are Hying to and fro between Dillon, O'Brien and McCarthy, and the delegation expects to decide upon its future course by to-morrow morning. Reports had it to-night that the delegation, in response to the expressions of public opinion in Ireland, would recede from its manifesto. Inquiry, however, could develop neither affirmation nor denial. A dispatch from Pittsburg says ihat William Boyle, supposed to be the bearer of certain documents from the Irish leaders at home to Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien, passed through that citjto-night He was reticent about his misQon, bnt said the Irish people will never repudiate Parnell. It is supposed that tbe object of his visit is to prevail upon Dillon and O'Brien to repudiate their denunciation of Parnell. The executive council of the Irish National League of America, comprising President John Fitzgerald, of Lincoln; Judge James W. Fitzgerald, of Cincinnati; Dr. Charles O'Keilly, of Detroit; M. V. Gannon, of Omaha, and Secretary Sutton, of Lincoln, will hold a'tneeting in Lincoln, Neb., to-morrow. Judge Fitzgerald cabled today to Parnell in London, as follows: "The hasty action ot the Cincinnati Parnell branch misrepresents Irish sentiment You have ever been faithful to Ireland, while Gladstone, until lately, was among her oppressors. Hence, the Irish race rejects his dictation and demands your retention as leader." m TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. Henry C. Lowe, a well-known and popular steamboat agent of Memphis, is missing. Rev. C; F. Thwing leaves Farmington, Me., to become president of the Western Keserve. University, Cleveland. Hiram 8. Branham, Mayor of Litchfield, Minn., shot himself just below tbe heart He claimed that while fooling with the reL volver it was accidentally discharged. He lived only a few hours. The Chicago Council last night adopted an ordinance authorizing the issue of $5,000,000 of municipal bonds in aid of the world's fair.

The new commandant's experience in Knssia, it is thought, will be invaluable in Canada, where the climaticconditions of military life are so sCuilar. General Herbert is a tine military-looking man of tall, commanding appearance. " GREENHOUSE AND FLOWERS DESTROYED. A Natnral-Gas Explosion Causes Consideralh . Loss on Theodore P. Haughej's Place. .The large greenhouse belonging to Theodore P. Ilaughey, president of the Indianapolis National Bank, and situated near his home at Mapleton. was entirely destroyed by , a natural-gas explosion Wednesday evening. The greenhouse was heated by a furnace and the high wind Wednesday blew out the fire. It was some time before the fact was discovered and one of the employes about the place supposing the gas had all found vent, and being unaware of the quantity that had escaped, struck a match to relight the furnace. An explosion fol-' lowed that shattered all the glass in the structure and set fire to the wood-work. Several sheds and out-houses near at hand were demolished purposely in order to cut off the progress of the flames. Fortunately the wind was not in the direction of Mr. Haughey.'s house, or that would undoubtedly have been destroyed. The man who struck the match escaped with a fevr slight burns; but another employe, who, in lighting the flames, climbed npon a portion1 of the greenhouse which remained standing, fell into the wreck, and was badly cut by the broken glass. The lire completed what the explosion had left undone, and it was not many moments until the greenhouse was a wreck. It was built recently at a cost of SG00, and contained many choice flowers and plants, tho value of which is not known. One bed which Mr. Ilaughey recently had put In cost 20. and there were several handsome specimens of imported flowers which he prized very highly. The total loss was therefore considerably over 1,000. Some of the plants were saved, but most of those spared by the fire were soon killed by the cold. " Did Well with Their Exhibit The florists held a meeting, last night, at which the exhibition committee reported. The total receipts of the last chrysanthemum show were $2, 1C0. and expenses $1,98$, leaving a balance of 202, and a net balance, alter last year's deficit, of 98. Seven thousand persons visited the show, 1,200 of whom were from out of the city. The annual meeting will be held in Lafayette Jan. 21 and 22. A special meeting for the election of officers will occur iu this city Dec. 17. The place of the next exhibit will be determined at tbe Lafayette meeting. m m Ilave Two More Theaters. A telegram to the Journal from Columbus, O., last night, announced the fact that Dickson & Talbott have secured long leases on the Globe and Metropolitan theaters in that city. Tbese houses will be run in conjunction with their Indiunapolis theaters, one at popular and tho other at high prices Stole the Woman's Purse. A young woman, who failed to give her name, reported to patrolmen McMullan and Hagcrmann, last evening, that as she was crossing the State-hoiine grounds, some negro snatched her purse from her and ran away, after striking her in the face. He secured a dollar. Stole Some Jewelry. Thieves entered at No. 1SS on North Noble street, last night, and secured a gold and jewel breast-pin belonging to Mrs. Simon. Tbe bureau drawers and trunks were rifled, but no other articles of much value taken. Tup. record of cures accomplished by Hood's Sarsaparilla can never be completely written.
