means to reopen th O'Shea divorce cane. The only possible ground fpr such action. In vietv ox the evidence, would becollusion, and it would do Parnell no good to testify to that, while at the same time, should such a claim be successfully interposed, it 'would make it impotAible for Parnell to marry his "Dear Kate," na lie habitually calls her, and would leave her in a condition worse than divorce or widowhood. It is understood that at the coming conference in Paris the question will ariso us to the disposition of the f unds now locked up from thn United .States, nnd also of the National League lands. An etlort will be mado to arrive at common ground as to the disposition of the money. Mr. Michael Davitt'a newspaper, the

Labor World, to-day renews the onslaught recently made upon Jlr. rarnell through its columns. During the course of a lengthy attack upon the "uncrowned kins" the Labor World says that if by any compromise Mr. Parnell remains leader of the Irish party a number or nnti-Parnell members threaten to abandon public life, which would be disastrous to the party at large. The Labor World adds that Mr. Parnell is a greatrr danger to Ireland than any outside enemy ever has been. No foreign force, says Mr. Davitt's paper, has ever so endangered Ireland's liberty and honor as this "new pretender, unmitigated trickster and unscrupulous eniny of liberty and democracy, who attacks Ireland's honor in its most vita! part ami who betrayed his trust of honorcommitted to his care." The Labor World, continuing, says that Mr. Parnell should not bo permitted to hold power which would bo abated and which wonld render Ireland's condition under her dictator than that of a booth American republic. Ireland, according to the Labor World, can tight Haltourism, for that may be classed as an open enemy, while Parnellism is much more dangerous because it is a hidden foe. 1'aruell's "honor," says the paper, is a by-word. His mendacity is boundless, bis vimlictiveness and tj'raniiy are infamous, tils hj-pocrisy is colossal and ho may drag Ireland to disgrace. Those seeing him now in his hideous deformitv, will not rest until they have deprived hiin of tho power to injure the untarnished cause of Irish liberty. Tlews of Dillon and O'Connor. New York, Dec. 2a John Dillon and T. P. (yConnor were seen this afternoon, and asked for an interview on the result of the Eillkenny election in Ireland. After mnch persuasion they said. "It is a vindication of the patriotism and sagacity of the constituency, because it shows that consideration of the good of tho country and safety of the national cause have prevailed with the electors over natnral feelings of gratitude and affection for a great leader like Mr. Parnell. which have blinded so many to the true Issues at stake. The result of the election oilers, in our judgment, a chance of reuniting onr party." DIEI LIKE A MAN." Mrs. Nellie Fearcy Flanged, at London, for 31 order Ins: 3Ir. Hog? and Iter Baby. LpxDON, Dec. 2S. Mrs. NellioPearcy was hanged this morning, fcr the murder of Mrs. Hogg and her baby. Mrs. Hogg was the wife of a London porter. The crowd outside the prson walls set una loud cheer when the black ting, showing that the woman was hanging on the scaffold, was hoisted upon the prison flag-stuff. During the night the unfortunate woman was quiet aud resigned, and for several hours prayed in company with the prison chaplain. To the latter she confessed that tho sentence passed upon her was a justouo, though sho said tho evidence upon which she was convicted was false. While upon the scatibld Mrs. Pearcy appeared to be thoroughly calm. Previous to being pinioned the unhappy womau shook bauds with the hangman and repeated to him the assertion which she made to her watchers yesterday, namely, that sho would "die On her way to the scaffold Mrs. Fearcy positively refused any assistance, saying quietly to those who ottered to help her along the path lending ' from her cell to the scafiold. MI can walk by myself." When one of the prison attendants, who had shown considerable kinduess to the poor woman while she was in confinement, offered to accompany her to tho spot where she'was to die. without directly assisting her. Mrs. Penrcy replied, with a sao smile: 'If you don't mind going, I am ph ased to have you near me." Then the sad procession wended its way to the scaffold, Mrs. Pearcy never falteriug for an instant and meeting her fato - as she said she would "like a man." GENERAL FOKEIGN NEWS. The Great Railway Strike in Scotland Causes Serious Interruption of liuslue. Glasgow, Dec. 2 In spito of all eOorts made to bring about a settlement of the matters in dispute between tho railroad officials and tho railroad employes, the strike continues to extend iu many directions. Traffic is now hopelessly behind time everywhere along;- the lines of the roads affected. In some cases where the signal-men remain at their post the signals were so worked as to bo misleading, and consequently delaying the passage of trains in a most annoying and dangerous manner. Tho state of affairs here can bo judged from the fact that only one out of thirty steam cranes, or derricks, are working at the mineral terminus of the railway lines iu Glasgow harbor. Loaded wagons cannot he shunted, owing to the almost complete lack of locomotives with which to do the work. Tho railroad otlicials are evidently Ojoying the sympathy of the business community, as shown by the fact that several private firms have placed their pilot engines at the disposal of the railroad companies in order to enable the latter to carry on absolutely essential work.

BANKER S. A.EE AN DEFENDED

Frances E. Willard Scores Chnrch People for Not Standing By a Christian. Remarkable Letter from a Woman Her Estimate of bis Character Receives a Shock by the Testimony in Court Yesterdaj. CniCAGO, Dec. 23. A "remarkable letter will be published hero to-morrow from Frances E. Willard, presideut of tbo National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, regarding the circumstances attaching to the disastrous failure of the bankers of tho organization, S. A. Kean & Co., which is attracting such widespread attention. The communication in full is as follows: To the Editor: For days I have waited to see some leader in the pulpit or pew leap into the arena of publio centroversy in defense of 8. A. Kean. thirty years of clean life and helpful service in Chicago llome Missionary work, oung Men's Christian Association work, Sunday-school and temperance work, his simple, plain way of living; his continuous honorable connection in the most prominent way with a bank as widely known as any lu Chicago seemed to me factors worth recounting la tho present crisis. Thirty yearn of good behavior and brotherly helpfulness ought to couut for something among one's fellow-men; and not to have failed before in all the financial crises of Chicago aud the country at large should surely couut for something alo. I am pained beyond expression by this silence of the good. It is, then, true that the world' people stand by each other better than do members of the household or laith. it "Mlta" McDonald had been so universally assailed would there have been so few voices raised lu his behalf ! Does the edince of character, so slowly and patiently builded, count for so very little when Sioruis of disaster fall! When one is dead wo love to tell of all his good aud generous deeds. Why should we not when oue is wounded aud stricken on life's treacherous highway! How soon a whisper can tarnish reputation! How do we kno ' but that systematio whimpering may have been a large Ingredient iu the witch's broth that has so boiled and frothed In the. city press for a week past! Tho Woman's Christian Temperance Union and its affiliated Interests have had Mr. Kean for several reoent years. He is a leading Prohibitionist, a representative Methodist layman. Who knows what hat red of tho teniperence cause may he back of all this what blow aimed at an organized movement against the liquor truttic! Happily wo have never had much money to deposit at any one time, aud, so far as I know, $ 1 ,000 will replace all the losses of the National Woman's Christian Teruperence Union and $3.000 those of the Temple, while the Woman's Temperance Publishing-house receirea every day nearly half a much ns it had ou deposit with Mr. Keau. But I kuow, by my correspondence, that the press of the country ha been given to understand that an appalling calamity has overtaken the white-ribbon movement. Possibly "the wish is father to tho thought." There is Joy in Heaven over one sinner that repenteth." Them is doubtless joy in hell over one saint that falls. Beyond a pernd venture there U rejoicing in every grog-shop of the city ', when the temperance cause or aDy of its advo-; cates is overtaken by misfortune seeming or; real. But "God is not dead," as Sojourner Truth j reminded Fred Douglass in a great emergency. j The Bible in buslnes, prayer In a banking-house these are consistent Christian means audi methods, and worthy of all good reporU Christ! and his cause will oome more and more , in con-; tact with e very-day life of trade, letushopei for the best, believe in the vindication of; character, the rehabilitation of reputatiou and' the triumph of eternal Justioo toward the? banker; as well as his depositors.

Mr. Culver, on the wit-j ness-staud o-day, testified that he tid not; owe the bank anythiug; on the contrary,1 tho bank owed him over $-00. Ho declared ' that he had never received any consideration for bis note. It was merely given as an accommodation to Mr- Kean, who made a written agreement to pay it. TliS 51$-' ness. however, recognized 'the moral obfi-1 gation, and would pay the amount if given twelve months' time. Louis Donne, t representative of Brad-' street's agency, was next called, and exhibited a written statement made by Kean. in June, lbi'y, in which he claimed a capital; of $110,000. with A. C. Uracil on, Morton'; Culver and D. W. Kean as special partners. This was in direct contradiction of Mr. Keau's sworn statement, yesterday, to tho effect that he had never made a written statement to a commercial agency. When ehown tho paper to-day Mr. keari raa obliged to acknowledge his signature. Frank M. Douglass, of Dun's Commercial Agency, testitied that on June 15, 1889," Kean ; made to him a written statement to the ; effect that bis Kean's personal assets were , 8191,000, with an ;ndebteduess of only $ 16,000. The balance-sheet of tho bank in June 1, 18S9, showed assets aggregating 1)3157778 ; ,i .l n em t-u i ' Herbert Hammond, an Iowa banker, took the witness-stand and flatly contradicted statements said to have been made by, Kean to the commercial agencies that Hammond had invested 50,000 in Kean's business.

In petitioning, assignee Jacobs said that the imsiness of Kean & Co. is so varied aud extensive, and' the. character of its a 11 airs so complicated and involved, that he considered it necessary that some experienced banker like Mr. Shaw be named to assist in the unraveling.

CLOTURE RULE IN THE SENATE. r Con clnded from First Page. faith. Mr. Morgan did not finish his argument, anil said lie would try to elucidate the subject a little mora fullv to-morrow. The elections bill was then taken up and Mr. Call addressed the Senate in opposition to it. It was the most important bill, he said, ever presented in the history of the legislation of the country. Its enactment into law would constitute a change in the powers of the government as great as that which characterized the republic of Rome when it was changed into a monarchy. Mnch of Mr. Calls speech was in the direction of proving from reports and statistics that the colored laborers of the South were much better oftiu all worldly respects, were more prosperous, contented and happy than the white workingman of Massachusetts or Rhode Island, and that the bill was. therefore, based on mere hypocritical pretenses. His assertions were questioned and contradicted by MesHrs. Hoar and Aldrich. and his remarks as to farm mortgages in Iowa were repelled in like manner by Mr. Wilson of Iowa. Mr. Call was followed in opposition to the bill by Mr. McPherson. He opposed it, he said, because it was a distrust of the people: an indictment of the whole people without regard to party distinctions; a proclamation that the people, honest and patriotic as they were, had not the intelligence or virtue to exercise the riurht, the prerogatives of freemen without dictation from those who were their servants and not their masters. In abort, be opposed it becauso it was a partisan measure, intended forapartison purpose. Without finishing his speech Mr. Mcpherson yielded to a motion for executive session, and afterwards the Senate adjourned. It was agreed that when the Senate adjourns to-morrow it be to meet on Saturday. MINOR MATTERS. N Vacancies on Hoase Committees Filled by Speaker Reed. Washington, Dec. 23.
