Mr. Grav said he was aware of that, but that be did not wish to nee the present system of elections disturbed. Mr. Berry obtained tho floor, and after a short executive session the Senate adjourned. Senator Quay Will Introduce a Bill. Special tv the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Dec. 8. Senator Quay has a sensation in store. He has been generally held responsible for the failure of the elections bill in the Senate last session and was savagely abused by Republican papers therefor. He now intends to introduce before lonjr a federal elections bill as a substitute for the pending bill, which for vitjor and sweeping authority shall leavenotbing to be desired. He does not deem it desirable to explain his motive for his action. NEWSPAPERS AND HANGINGS.

The Former Cannot Print Accounts of the Latter if the State Law Says Not. WAsniNGTOiw. Dec The Supreme Court of the United Stages tvday affirmed the judgment of tho Circuit Court of the United States for the district of Minnesota refusing to grant a writ of habeas corpus to Clifton Holden. This caso has attracted a great deal of attention by reason of its arising under a State statute forbidding newspapers to print accounts of hangings. Holden was convicted of a murder committed Nov. 23, 1688, and the Governor commanded the nheriiTto hang him conformably. to tho provisions of Section 3 of an act passed in April. 1SS9. This" act. among other things, prescribed solitary confinement, limited the number of persons to be present at Hangings, and especially excluded reporters and forbade newspapers to publish any more than a mere statement that any person was hanged. Counsel contended that the provision for solitary confinement in Holden'8 case was ex post facto, and that, as there was no saviug clause in the new law, he could not be held under the old law. The court holds that this last point is not well taken for the reason that the statute repealed only inconsistent prior enactments and was therefore good as to consistent enactments. Mere questions as to exclusion of persons, the court says, do not affect any substantial right of the convict. The limitation as to the number and character of those who might witness the execution, and the exclusion of newspaper men, are regulations which the Legislature in its wisdom and for the public cood could legally prescribe. The only part of the law that may be deemed expost facto is that prescribing solitary confinement, and there is no proof that Holden is so confined. The court cannot indulge the presumption that he is in solitary confinement. The Governor's warrant does not require any such proceeding for that is cot among the provisions of Section 3 of the act. The Supreme Court also rendered a decision, through Justice Blatchford, in the case of G. A. Autfmordt and others, vlaintin's in error, vs. . L. I led don, collector of the port of New York. The case concerned the renppraisement of some imported merchandise, Antl'mordt claiming that the merchant appraiser's appointment was illegal, on the ground that such appointment can be made only by the President, courts of law and heads of departments. The court overrules this point, and it also overruled the contention made by the importer that making the appraisement final was in violation of the Constitution, because it prevented the importer having his caso considered by a jury. BOND PURCHASES. Over Four and a Half Millions Accepted Yes.terday Cannot Use Fractional Currency. Washington. Dec 8.The amount of four-per-cent.bonds accepted to-day under the circular of Dec. 6, was 84,591,000, for which a disbursement of about $5,550,000 in money will be made. The Secretary of the Treasury said this afternoon that, in view of all the conditions, he would accept additional oilers of fours at a reasonable price, of a sufficient amount to make the total purchases 3,000.000, for which he said the expenditures will be nearly $10,000,000. The Secretary said fnrtber that it was manifestly impossible, under existing conditions, for him to use the fractional currency now in the treasury in the purchase of bonds, for the reason that it would at once be Toturned to him in exchange for greenbacks, and then leave him with a deficiency instead of a surplas. There is now about $19,000,000 of fractional currency in the treasury, of which all but $2,000,000 is in silver half-dollars. As it is legal tender to the amount of $10 only it is not regarded as a part of the available cah balance. The Secretary said he would like verv much to fret it into circulation, but that he certainy should not do so at the expense of his limited available surplus. Inquires About Election Supervisors. Washington, Dec. a In the Senate, today, Mr. Jones of Arkansas ollered a resolution, which went over till ' to-morrow, calling on the Attorney-general for information as to the supervisors of election appointed for the First and Second congressional districts of Arkansasforthe congresbional election of Nov. 4 last, the sums of money paid out or called for in connection with the election, or with the proceedings that have taken place since the election. The resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for a statement of moneys paid to John I. Davenport for chief supervisor of elections in each year since 1871, and a statement of claims of Davenport that havo ben rejected at the Treasury, was taken up and agreed to. Tobacco Rebate Hill Passed. Washington, Dec. 8. Mr. McKinley today reported from the ways and means committee and tho House passed the bill providing for a rebate on tobacco in stock equal to the reduction made in the internal revenue tax in the last tariff bill. Mr. McKinley stated that the bill was simitar to the provision of the tariff bill. Section SO, which had been omitted in the enrolling of that measure and on the declaration by Mr. Mills of Texas that it was "all right," no opposition was made to its passage. Enloe Had No Cause for Orlerance. Washington, Dec. 8. In the House, today. Mr. E. B. Taylor, from the judiciary committee, reported back the Enloo resolution for the arrest of Geo. Minot, one of the door-keepers, for attempting violently to prevent Enloe's exit from the House during a call of the House in August last. The committee reports that the case calls for no action on the part of the House and the resolution was laid upon the table without c ejection. Greedy Chicago. Washington, Dec. 8. Representative Taylor, of Illinois, to-day introduced a bill making an appropriation of $4,000,000 to orovide for the erection of a public building at Chicago, upon tho present site, with the stipulation that it must be ready for occupancy by Jan. 1, 16U3.

The Treasury Department to-day. purchased &S5.000 ounces of diver at from $LO3tO$L0U5. . m m DESTITUTE SETTLERS. South Dakota Lieutenant-Governor Tells of Suffering in Ills State. Pierre. S. D., Dec. 8. -Lieutenant-governor Fletcher, asked regarding destitution among South Dakota farmers, said: "Yes. there is destitution iri South Dakota, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. And what is more, I can't see the wisdom of attempting to cover up these facts or being at all mealy-mouthed about the business. If these reports are true they are bound to come out, co matter how much any socalled boomers may attempt to cover them up. And what is more, I can't see how, by making these things publicly known, anything bat good can result It is not to be supposed that any one is coming here without investigating tho condition of affairs, or that we want anybody to come in any other way. It is a misfortune that there is destitution, but it will only be temporary. "The experiece is one common to the settlement of all new countries. There are some seven counties that I. know of that aro sutiering and in destitute circumstances, resulting from the drought which has prevailed in these parts more or less for the past three seasons. . In Brown county the southeastern part had a fairly good crop. The rest is in most destitute circumstance. Then there are Marshall, McPherson. Campbell. Walworth, Edwards and Spink. Theso counties are all in bad shape, with harldly any crops to speak of. In our county wo have an organization of some sixteen townships, with a representative in each township, through whom we distribute all we can gather in any way to alleviate the wants of those people suffering the most "I am of the opinion that there is no dancer of our getting too much assistance. The only proper way to handle the matter is through the boards of commissioners in every couuty. If these commissioners take the proper course and the circumstances are thoroughly understood the railroad companies will furnish free transportation to needy sufferers. Then, if the other interests of the country will do an equal, share with these railroads there will be plenty of money to buy goods for tho railroads to ship in -to supply all who are really sutiering. We may be called beggars, but is it not better to beg than to freeze and starve? And that is just what people are already doing, and will continue to do with increasing measure from this time on. If the counties provide the means of commencing farming next year they will do a good deal. 'I believe in asking aid wherever we can get it. It seems to me a false pride that we should keep such serious facts as these suppressed. It is unnatural and uncalled for on any grounds that 1 can see. South Dakota may bo amply able to take caro of itself and live, but whether that covers the E resent situation is tho question. I do not elieve that, tine sentiment as it is. it will keep people from starving and freezing to death in our part of the State. If impartial judges thought the situation a serious one last year, they will lind it much worse this year." Suffering In Oklahoma. WicniTA, Kan., Dec. a The Oklahoma country is covered with snow from five to twelve inches deep. The demand for aid increases from the poor settlers. Of the $47,000 appropriated by the government for the benefit of the poor, there remains scarcely 615,000. The committee on supplies handling this money hasreacbed here. The members report that they do not want to say the situation is alarming, , but they have by no means enough to supply food and clothing for the poor. Aid must come or sutiering will be intense. OBITUARY. Washington McLean, for Many Years Tro- ' prletor of.the Cincinnati Enquirer. Washington, Dec. 8. Washington MoLean, for ' many years well known in journalism as the proprietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, died at his residence here to-night in his seventy-fourth year.

WILL APPEAL TO IRISHMEN

McCarthy and Parnell Will Each Issue Manifestoes to Their Followers. The Latter Goinff to Ireland at Once Three Hundred Lives Lost by an Explosion in China Other Oriental Disasters. "WIIX ISSUE AS ADDRESS. Anti-ParnelllteB Will Appeal to IrishmenAccessions to Their Ranks. London, Dec 8. In response to the call issued by Mr. Justin McCarthy, the leader of the anti-Parneliite section of the Irish party, all the members of the party who are opposed to Mr. Parnell assembled today to further consider the line of policy to be adopted. Copies of the call had been addressed to Mr. Parnell and bis supporters, but it is hardly necessary to state that none of them were present.. A council comprising eight members, Messrs. Abraham, Dillon, llealy, O'Brien, Arthur O'Connor, Thomas Power O'Connor. Sexton and Sheehy. were appointed to assist Mr. McCarthy iu deciding the future action of the party. The meeting was presided over 4 by Mr. McCarthy. Before adjourning the meeting unanimously authorized Mr. McCarthy to prepare tne address to the Irish people, at home and broad. In this he will give the present aspect of the Irish question and outline the future policy of his party. Sir Thomas Grattan Esmonde was appointed an additional whip. Tho subscriptions to the fund being raised for the purpose of establishing in Dublin a uew daily paper devoted to the interests of the anti-Parnellite section of the Nationalist party have already reached many thousand pounds. Messrs. Barry, Webb. Monnogh and Dickson have subscribed 100 each, Mr. Chance, 2U0, and Messrs. Maurice and Tim llealy, 50 each to the new fund to be. devoted to the interests of the McCarthyites. The McCarthyites have warned Sir John Pope Hennessy'that that they will oppose him if he stands as a Parnell candidate for the seat in the Housoot Commons for North Kilkenny, made vacant by the death of Mr. Marum. Mr. Davitt, in a speech at Stratford, today, said that while it could not be denied that recent events had seriously endangered the causo of Ireland, he was glad to be able to say that dnrine the controversy little had been said on either side of which Ireland need be ashamed. He was confident that both sides would remain true to the principle of national self-government, and he did not believe that either Mr. Gladstone or the British democracy would so back on Ireland now. Mr. Davitt will go to Ireland to assist in the campaign of the anti-Parnell party. In an interview Mr. Davitt said that since he resigned the trusteeship of tho league fund be had been uncertain as to what disposition was made of the fund. Tho amouut of 32,000 was deposited with Munroo &, Co., in Paris, in and he believed that since the death of Mr. Egan this money had lain in the names of Parnell and McCarthy. But it was never intended, he said, that Mr. Parnell should have sole control of the fund. Mr. Gilhooly and the O'Gorman Mahon have formally joined the anti-Parnell party. Mr. Parnell goes to Ireland to-morrow; He will deliver a political address in Leinster Hall, Dublin, on Thursday, and afterward will proceed to Cork, Longford and Granard. Mr. Parnell will be accompanied on his coming tour through Ireland by the most active of his followers. Before his derr.rture from England for Ireland he wnl issue a manifesto to the people of the-latter country. It will be signed by all his supSorters, including Mr. Carew, who has ere to fore been regarded as doubtful in his allegiance. Mr. Parnell will send a mission to the United States for the purpose of placing before the 'American people his side of the controversy that has arisen in the Nationalist party. He has sent a, dispatch to Milwaukee, Wis., declining an oiler of $15,000 for one hundred lectures. ( How They Toted In the Commons. V ' London. Dec a The ' antl-Pafriellite' members of the House of Commons made an early appearance in the houso to-day. Forty-sne of them entered the chamber in a body, and took the principal places in the first four benches below the gangway, with a view to prevent the Parnellites from occupying their usual seats. Colonel Nolan and Mr. John Deasy entered later and contrived to secure seats. Mr. Parnell's seat had also been reserved, he having at an earlier hour 1 fixed a ticket to it. Mr. Healy arrived later thau bis colleagues. When he entered ho took Mr. Parnell's seat, but McCarthy warned him to vacate it. The party appeared to be in excellent spirits. They cheered loudly when Mr. 'Deasy, an .antiParnellite whip, advanced to the Speaker's chair and moved tho issue of a new writ for an election in North Kilkenny, to iiil the vacancy m the house caused by the death of Mr. Edward Martin. The writ was issued. ' Mr. McCarthy, amid the cheering of his supporters, gave notice that, upon the reassembling of the house, he would call attention to the circumstances in connection with the recent arrest and prosecution of Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien, and would move a resolution in relation to the case. Mr. William Henry Smith, the government leader, announced that when the house went into committee' on tho laud-purchase bill he would move nn adjournment of the house until Jan. 2. Mr. Balfour moved the second reading of the land department (Ireland) bill. Mr. llealy moved to adjourn the debate on the ground that the government was treating the house with contempt in not explaining the provisions of the bill. Mr. Balfour's Insb relief bill, which asks an appropriation of 5,000 to enable him to supply soed potatoes to distressed farmers, passed its third in the house. Subsequently Mr. Healy withdrew -his motion to adjourn and substituted an amendment calling for the rejection of the land department bill. This was dofeatrd and the bill passed its second reading by a vote of 191 to 129. Mr. Parnell entered the house j3st before the division. He took a seat next to Mr. McCarthy, and voted, as did all the Irish members of both sections present, against the bill. Mr. V. H. Smith announced that when the house reassembled ou Jan. 22 the private procedure and bills would be first taken up. Comments of Irish Newspapers. Dublin, Dec. 8. The Freeman's Journal, in which Mr. Parnell is understood to have an interest, to-day advocates, on its own responsibility, without recommending tho plan to either side on the grounds beyond its reasonableness, that efforts be made by the two factions of the Irish party in the direction of conciliation and peace. It urges Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien to return from the United States to Paris forthwith, and thatall the Nationalist members of the House of Commons, or delegates from each section of the party, assemble in conference in that city, to decide what course to pursue. Such a conference, the Journal says, would not only prove that the sections desire to hold together, but would attract attention to the fact that the men in the front rank are of the best and bravest of the Irish party, and will precludo the setting ou foot amoug their own people of an utterly fatuous breaking up in a temper of the party it took so many years to establish and consolidate. Tho Journal assumes that, the threat of the secessionists to start a newspaper in Dublin is a threat against itself. It says it will be delighted to welcome the new journal, but warns the gentlemen who may be willing to invest mouey in the new paper that the hardest thing to make or unmake is a good newspaper, and that tha worst time to start such a project is when the promoters are at the lowest ebb of their popularity, many of them hardly daring to show their faces iu public. The Cork ExaminersaysParnell'sEnglish career is cloM-d. It thinks Parnell has overrated bis ability to secure the return of men to Parliament to take the places of the members of tha party who opposed his leadership. The Cork Herald, referring to Mr. Parnell's determination not to abandon the Irish leadership, says that unless a united people force him to retire the rosult will be

The members of the Irish parliamentary party, Messrs. Dillon, O'Brien, Sullivan, Gill and O'Connor were in consultation all the morning on the advisability of making another statement as to their position on the Parnell question. To a reporter Mr. O'Brien dictated as follows: Tho situation is one of extreme delicacy and may involve consequences affecting the whole course of Irish affairs during our generation. Under these circumstances we must ask our friends to believe that it is under a sense of deep responsibility we continue to maintain an attitude of complete reserve. Having still a strong hope that the Irish people may be spared the calamity of internal dissensions and being persuaded that we will best aid in that direction by avoiding all unnecessary publicity, we are all in complete accord as to our action and we must beg the public to take no notice of ridiculous rumors to the contrary." The party have no plans formed yet as to their future movements. ORIENTAL CASUALTIES. Tliree Hundred Lives Lost by an ExplosionTown Destroyed by Fire Sailors Drowned. San Francisco, Dec. 8. The steamship China arrived this morning from China and Japan, bringing Chinese advices to Nov. 13, and Japanese advicea to Nov. 21. The details of the blowing up, on Nov. 2, of the government powder-mills, at Taiping Foo, are meager, but agree in stating that 300 lives were lost and all the houses in the vicinity wrecked. Sixty persons are said to have been at work in the mills at the time of the accident, and of their remains only two limbs have been found. The cause of the explosion is unknown.

The O'Gorman Mahon, member of Parliament for Carlo w county, who introduced Mr. Parnell to Mrs. O'Shea, recently expressed a desire to challenge Mr. Parnell to fight a duel, and he would have undoubtedly sought to have brought about a meeting with him had not his doctor prevented him. His physician based his argument against a duel on account of the O'Gorman Mahons age, be being eightyseven years old, and the condition of his health. Cable Notes.

Letter in Boston Transcript Washington society certainly has the merit of cheapness to recommend ittoyoung men. The gallant young gentlemen in Western cities, who are expected to take girls to the theater, and to supper afterward, in a "hack," and who are mulcted for geriuans and liable for presents, and whose pocket-books are preyed upon by all the young women of their acquaintance, may well look longingly to Washington. It is' not permitted for a youug man to spend a Eenny on a girl individually, except to send er flowers, and the Washington men have conscientious scruples about doing that even. Most of them fear it is a grave impropriety, and so keep on the safe side by not sending them. Once in a while a diolomate gives a theater party, but he is frowned upon by the men in his set as establishing a bad precedent, and one tending toward making girls expect something of men. As,it is, nothing is expected of the ruthlc83 sex but to kindly accept the invitations 6ent them. A few a very few balls are given in the winter, for which the men, with many conscientious qualms, pay. The army and navy gives one handsome ball. The civilians have a few assemblies, and that is the end. At all the rest of the entertainments the society men are the guests. .. A Democratic Tender. Detroit Tribune. Later reports from the Farmers' Alliance r.onvontion at Ocala, Fla., confirm all the Tribune has said in regard to that organization as a political factor. It is being rnn m the interest of the Democratic party. It was started in the South and is controlled by the South. The chief spokesmen in the convention are Southern Democrats. It was through Democratic conniving at Washington that the anti-federal election law resolntion was adopted bv the Alliance. Every movement shows that Democracy is ruoamgthe Alliance machine. The Alliance platform. Bays a prominent delegate to the convention, will undoubtedly be indorsed by the Democratic party. Their hardest work will be done in Kepublican Slates. Why Enthusiasm Droops. Minneapolis Tribune. Kow that the cause of Ireland has been forgotten and the sole issue is Charles Stewart Parnell, Americaus are rapidly losing interest in the great national tight that had its origin in the O'Shea family.
