IRISH TROUBLE ADJUSTED

TVTLl, ELECT A NEW LEADER. The Nationalist Party to 25e Reconstructed, n av Result of the Boulogne 31eetlng. "LoNDO'.-f, Jan. 7. An authorized statement has been issued by the Irish leaders Hvho were present at the conference at JJoulogne-sur-Mer. They announce that ?he conference terminated to-day, and tftat both parties interested have resolved that "the proceedings should be Tegarded of a confidential nature. It is understood, however, that the exchange of views which has taken place Las led to the hope that a peaceable settlement of the matters in dif.pute will ensue. An agreement satisIrxtory to all seems to have been arrived at. The exact nature of this arrangement anust leak out in course of time. The number of erroneous statements made in regard to the Boulogne conference have made tho Irish leadets resolve to be more than usually careful as to their utterances. Messrs. Parnell, Clancey, Kedmond, Campbell, Scully and Harrington havo returned to England. Mr. William O'Brien remains at JJoniugne-sur-Mer lor a few days. It is -understood that he lias been in communication with 31r. Justin McCarthy. A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company says that at yesterday's conference between the Irish leaders it was agreed that Mr. Justin McCarthy should resign the chairmanship of the party and that a full meeting of the party should be called to elect a new leader. The participation of the Paruellites in tne vote for a new leader is tantamount to a reconstruction of the party and will be entirely satisfactory to Mr. Parnell. Other advices received here from 15ouIogne-enr-Mer say that Mr. O'Brien at his own request has 'been empowered to ask Mr. McCarthy. to Tetire from tho chairmanship of the antiParnell section of the Irish party in favor of Mr. John Dillon, or if Mr. O'Brien prefers, in favor of himself. Mr. O'Brien announces that his conferences with Mr. ParxmII are finished. The negotiations with Jdr. McCarthy will follow. Mr. Gladstone is understood to have secretly approved the plan decided upon, and the Parnellites are said to be pledged to abandon Mr. Parnell if ho prove insincere in the pledges given. Mr. John Dillon has cabled from New York hia approval of Mr. Parnell's temporary retirement from the chairmanship of the Irish parliamentary party In favor of Mr. O'Brien, The negotiations with Mr. McCarthy will follow. Mr. Gill is announced to have said that be was not at liberty to speak on the subeay that a peaceful settlement of the mat ters in. dispute may be expected. Later Mr. O'Brien said: "I have nothing to add to tho communications that have already been made to the newspapers, except that, in view of all there is at stake for unhappy Ireland and in the interests of friendship and (rood will between the two people, I respectfully entreat our friends and a portion of the English press to exercise pa4 ri Ofifc vriif -wwrm va iSannootntv 4KaaA tnnaf difficult and delicate matters with onr brother representatives of Ireland." THREATS FKOil BURNS The English Labor Leader Takes a Hand In the Scotch Strike Dockers Will Assist . Glasgow, Jan. 7. The hopes of the strikers were considerably raised to-day by a dispatch received from Dundee to the effect that John Burns, the Socialist leader, had. during the day, made a fervid address in behalf of the Scotch railroad strikers to an assemblage composed of about 5,000 dock laborers. The - latter wero Iturns's address that they almost unanimously agreed to go on strike if such action upon tneix part was found to be necessary in order to bring about a settlement of the railroad disputes. held in Perth to-day. He accused a leading Scotch paper of misleading the publio iu regard to the railroad strike. He said that despite the glowing accounts published the railroad companies were in a bad way, and if the men would remain firm they would soon have tho shareholders as well as the publie on their side, lie also said that he intended to bring ubout such a dead-lock of trattie on the roads that ha would compel the companies to surrender, lie urged the wives and sweethearts of the strikers to follow tite example set by the women who distinguished themselves on the occasion of the threat strike of London dockers, and prevent blacklegs from securing the places of thur husbands and lovers. Resolutions were adopted calling upon the companies to abandon their position and accede to the men's demands. The provost of Glasgow called a public meeting of citizens to consider the best means ox arriving at a settlement of the question. In tho Glasgow district there is considerable distress caused by the strike amoag the poorer classes of the population, and their suffering increases day by day. It is not only the families of the strikers who are suffering the latter may be said to form a small minority of thoso atlectcd but the stoppage of the many factories, etc., now idle through lack of fuel, has thrown thousands of people out of employment, though they are in .no way directly concerned in tho struggle going on between the railroad companies and the employes. While a coal train on the Caledonia railway, to-day, was descending a decline into to at. Kollox station, near Glasgow, the brakes were not applied in time and tho cars ran past the stopping point and dashed into a freight train which was standing at the station. The driver and stoker of the coal train w-ere raw hands who had been engaged to fill tho places of men who were on strike. Thoy jumped from the cab before the collision occurred and escaped injury. Tho station master who was coaching: tiie men in their duties, remained bravely at his post and when the trams came together the shock of the collision threw him jfrom the cab. lie fell under the wheels of tho cars and was so badly injured that he will probably die.

HELD FOR GRAND J CRY ACTION. Banker Kean's Conduct In Taking Deposits When IuaoWcnt to Be Investigated. . Chicago, Jan. 7. 'S. A. Kean robbed Royer when he took bis money, Dec. 17, knowing he was insolvent and could not pay it back, and he should not receive any more consideration in this. court than any other thief," said Attorney Charles Hughes in court this afteiroon. Hughes represents Royer, a type of the numerous small depositors in Kean's insolvent bank. When the lawyer spoke he turned and faced the banker, whose failnre, with liabilities of $1,500,000, has caused so much comment Mr. Kean sat among his friends on the bench and in tho rear of the room, and Hughes, dramatically shaking a finger at him, continued: "But his lawvers say he .is a banker, a man of breeding, a man who 00 UV,U UtIU AilgU JU KUU V. the public, " and hence should not bo humiliated like a common criminal by being held to the grand jury. What rights has be as a banker, more than any poor unfortunate fellow has, who comes into this court charged with a crime! I demand of your Honor to allow this matter to be investigated by the grand jury, whether be is indicted or set free, then your duty is performed and you cannot bo blamed for holding him." Justice Hamburger, in deciding the case, said that however unpleasant tho duty, he believed there was probable cause for the supposition that S. A. Kean know he was insolvent when ho received Hoyer's money, and he would therefore be compelled to hold the banker to the grand jury in bonds of 83,000. The testimony showed that Ko.ver made a deposit about throo hours before tho bank closed its doors for the last time. Mr. Kean's attorneys caused a sensation by announcing that they would not nut any one on the witness-stand for the defense, the charge was so trivial. Tbey contended that tho purpose of tho criminal charge against Mr. Kean was solely to force him to settle with Royer. Attorney Hughes read a decision by the Appellate Court showing, he said, that a banker is, in law, assumed to know at all times whether he is solvent or not. Then came another scene. Refer ring to the celobrated Peruvian extradition case, tho lawyer slowly said: "Kean sent Kerr, a dishonest cashier, to the peniten tiary, and 6pent 510.000 to do it. liow be ought to go there himself, for he has robbed the poor." After the decision holding Mr. Kean to the crandiurv the banker prompt ly furnished the required buil and was released. Dullness Embarrassments. Clakksvillk, Term., Janl 7.E. S.

SQUABBLES OF LAW-MAKERS

Attempt to Canvass Election Returns L?ads to a Dead-Lock in Nebraska. Policemen Stationed in the New Hampshire Capitol to Quell an Expected Disturbance Illinois Legislature Organized. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 7.The proceedings in the Nebraska Legislature this afternoon have been of an extraordinary character. At Z o'clock the Senate and House assem bled in joint session, for the purpose of canvassing the vote on State officers, as prescribed by the Constitution. Trouble was precipitated at the outset by a misunderstanding as to which officer should preside over the joint convention. Lieutenantgovernor Micklejobn advanced to the chair to preside, claiming his right under the Constitution, the statutes and the uniform practice of tho Stato. Speaker Elder, of the House, refused to vacate, and the two officers occupied chairs side by side, each claiming the gavel. The Speaker attempted to call the body to order, and was himself called to order by the Lieutenant-governor. The hall was crowded, and the excitement was intense, but no demonstration was made beyond some loud talk and a number of motions to change the plan of proceeding to tho canvass. These motions were declared out of order. The otlicial returns were brought in by the Secretary of State and laid before the body. The Sneaker was directed by the Lieuten ant-governor to open the package and read the returns. He began the work, but was advised by the attorney for the Independant party not to do so. He then refused to go on with the work, lhe .Lieutenantgovernor ruled that no business could be transacted until the returns were canvassed and this brought on a dead-lock. The joint convention sat for nearly four hours, the time being taken up by oratorical fencing and labored argument from each side to prove that the other was in the wrong. At 7 o'clock a recess was taken until 10 o'cIock to-morrow morning, when the dead-lock will again be in force unless one side decides upon a coup that will bring victory. The point Involved is this: lhe inoeDendent or Alliance nartv is contesting the election of the Democratic Governor and tho remaining State officers, all Republicans. They wish to prevent the announcement of the election of these officers, evidently preferring to seat the contestants directlv. Lieutenant-Governor Mickle jobn, who is a Republican, holds that it is his duty to declare the officers having a majority on the face of the returns; that if there is to be a contest it must be commenced in the regular way after the announcement of election is made. That was the point of contention in to-day's struggle. The Alliance men are in a majority. and had the Speaker of the House been a stronger - man they would undoubt edly have brought affairs to a crisis to-day by a show of muscular as well as numerical strength. Intense interest is felt in the outcome of the session in the morn ing. Guards In the New Hampshire CapltoL Concord, N. 1L, Jan. 7. By direction ot Governor GoodoU, members of the Concord police force in charge of the city marshal were scattered in various portions of tho State-houso early this morning. As the. members of tho Senate and House tiled up stairs it was necessary for them to pass ' by the marsh.il and his officers and also to identify themselves as members-elect of the Legislature. Four officers in citizens dress occupied seats on the steps leading to the Sneaker's desk. At the Democratic legislative caucus this forenoon the placing of police-: men in the State-house was severely dononnced. Long before the House assembled the galleries were thronged with spec tators, whilo some of. tho leading repre sentatives ot both parties occupied seats In the lobbies below, liie spectators gathered in anticipation of an exciting time at the opening of the session. Much time was consumed in Clerk Jewett receiving the certificates of the members. At 11:S5 Governor Goodell. with counsel. entered Representative hall and Clerk Jewett called the House to order. Ho Im mediately proceeded to call the roll of the members prepared by him and announced that the constitutional number of Representatives appeared to be present and di rected the Sergeant-at-arras to administer the oath of office to the members. Tho roll of tho House prepared by Clerk Jewett contained the names of 179 Republicans and hS Democrats. Mr. Ualhnger was elected temporary chairman. The Demo crats made no eiiort to obstruct the pro ceedings, r. U. Clarke wad elected Speak er and S. S. Jewett Clerk. . The committee appointed to canvass the returns of votes for Governor to the Seore-' tary of State reported as follows: Whole number of votes 86,240; Hiram A. Tuttle, KepuDiican. 42,47V: Shanes ii. Amsaen, Democrat, 42,386; Josiah M. Fletcher, Prohibitionist. 1,888; scattering, 13. There was no choice. A ballot taken for Governor re sulted as follows: Tuttle. 185: Amsden. 150, and Mr. Tnttlo was declared elected amid applause from the Republicans. Mr. Tuttle will be inaugurated to-morrow. Trouble In Connecticut. ITATiTTORD, Conn., Jan. 7. Both branches of the Legislature met at 10 o'clock. The Senate speedily organized, electing Read, Bridgeport (Dem.), president pro tern. The House spent a long time in organizing, owing to technical qnectiens about seating several members, which, however, did not affect tho Republican majority. Finally the House chose A. W. Paige Speaker. About o o ciock the House sent the othcial canvass of the State vote to the Senate, with a resolution referring it to the joint committee on canvass of votes for State officers. Tho Senate had voted not to create such committee this year, and when the canvassers' returns came in tho Senate created a special committee of its own to examine and report upon them. After about two hours7 conference the majority of the committee, two Demo crats, reported that Luzon is. Morns was elected Governor the regular Democratic: ticket. Resolutions declaring each candidate so elected were passed. The Repub lican member or the committee reported that various persons had been refused opportunity to show that the returns were incorrect, and that as the returns were not right no one should be declared elected and the matter should be examined into and the fact of no election shown. This was defeated. The House took a recess to 10 o'clock to morrow morning, lhe senate, alter declaring the State officers elected, adjourned to to-morrow at 11 o'clock. A caucus or Republican Senators and Representatives at C o'clock nominated O. IL Piatt for Senator nnanimously Illinois Legislature Organized. Springfield, 111., Jan. 7. The Thirtyseventh General Assembly of Illinois convened in regular session at noon to-day. The galleries of both houses' wero crowded, and the greatest interest was manifested in the outcome of tho peculiar political complications. Naturally the greatest interest was centered in the House, where the Democratic majority was just sufficient to organize. The House Jis composed of seventy -seven Democrats and seventy-three Republicans, and three farmers responded to the rollcall. The House was organized by the election of Clayton E. Crafts.

SILVER DEBATE IN THE SENATE. Concluded from First rage.)

of Ohio. Pierce of North Dakota, Piatt of Connecticut, Pngh of Alabama. Spoonerof Wisconsin, Sqnire of Washington. Stanford of California, Teller of Colorado. Vance of North Carolina. VosU of Missouri, Voorhees of Indiana, and Wilson of Maryland. This list, it will be seen, contains some of the strongest figures of the Senate, such as Evarts, Ingails, 8pooner, Teller. Vest, Voorhees and Morrill. Some of them are sure to retire, owing to adverse legislatures in their respective States, as in the case of Spooner and Evarts. Others have already been elected, while most of them have contests which are now in progress. It is the belief here that Evarts will be succeeded by Gov. HilL Spooner's successor will undoubtedly be ex-Secretary Vih'. Blair may remain, owing to the favorable turn of affairs for the Republican legislators of New Hampshire. Hampton will give place to Irby, a Carolinian, who has nit his man at ten paces. Blackburn, Voorhees, Vest and Stanford can stay here as long as they want as their re-election is mere formality. Cameron had a row on hand, but he has adroitly profited by the recent November disaster, which snowed the Pennsylvania Republicans they must stand together or be swamped. Altogether the personnel of the Senat' will be materially changed by the contests of the coming few days. MINOR MATTERS. How the Tresldant Takes Uis Dally Outing A Favorite Flace for Skaters. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 7. President Harrison is doing considerable driving nowadays. He handles the lines himself, and gets much enjoyment out of the spanking team which has taken the place of his old pair. It reminds people of General Grant to see the President in his high, square boxtrap doing the avenue at a lively pace. He is usually accompanied by one of the ladies of the executive household. One of his drives is through tho White lot, back of tho executive mansion, to the big pond on which hundreds of skaters are crowded all. day and evening. Washington has not had such a long cold spell in years, and tho skaters are receiving tho full benefit of it The President enjoys the sport, and if it was not for the lack of dignity in the thing he would undoubtedly get out and do a "spread eagle" on the ice. Dland's Free-Coinage Measure. Washington, Jan. 7. A brief meeting of the House committee on coinage, weights and measures was held to-day. There were present five Democrats and three Republicans, Mr. Wickham, the chairman of the committee,, being absent. Representative Walker, of Massachusetts, the second member of the committee, presided. After tho meeting had been called to order, a motion of Representative Bland that the committee take np and consider his free-coinage bill was adopted. Without proceeding with its discussion, howeyer, and at the suggestion of Mr. Bland, consideration of the bill was deferred until the next meeting of the committee, one week from today, when it will be the first business in order. Mr. Bland vouchsafed no reason for his action, but it is assumed that it was sugSested by the fact that five of the eight lepresentatives present are supposed to be opposed to free coinage. Burial of Major Farrar's Remains. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 7. The funeral services over the remains of tho late Major a. F. Farrar, formerly of Indianapolis and latterly of Lawrenceburg, occurred at 11 o'clock this morning, and were conducted by ji Rev. Dr. Bartlett. of the New Y'orkavenue 'Presbyterian Church.

The Senate bill increasing from fifty to seventy-five the number of army officers who may be detailed to military colleges was passed by the House to-day. The conference report on the publicprinting deficiency bill was agreed to by tho Senate to-day.

Was Broken by Western Republican Senators. Washington Special to Chicago Inter Oce?n. The victims of the Republican treachery in the Senate seemed in a better frame o,f mind to-day than the traitors. The latter, when the confederate camp upon the Democratic side of the chamber broke np last night and filed one by one to the seats of the eight Republicans and congratulated them upon the fact that they had delivered the control of the Senate over to the Democracy, began to think that their act would not stand the severest scrutiny and it was possible that tbey had not voted in accordance with their Republican commission. Those Senators ' who signed the compact of last session to the eff ect that the elections bill should be taken np the first day of this session and considered continuously nntil it should have been disposed of by a vote, it is understood, were given some concern at the fact that the American public and their party associates might ask them to explain their votes with the Democrats of yesterday again: Republican policy and against the elections bill without any previous notice to their associates. It is a fact that a compact was signed by iforty-four Republican Senators to that eff ect. That agreement was substantially in this form: The undersigned members of the United States Senate hereby solemnly promise to agree to vote at the beginning of the session ot the Fif ty-ttit Congress to take uo the House bill No. 11,015, to amend and supplement the election laws of the United States, and to keep the same before the Senate as unfinished business from day to day until a vote can bo had on its linal passage. When a majority of all the members of the Senate had signed that paperthe friends of the elections bill consented not to call it up until this session, and the Quay-Cam-eron-Democratio combination was tem porarily successful, but there were a few silver Senators who had some understanding with the Democrats growing out of the passage at the last session of tho free-coin-age-of-silvcr bill, who did not sign the paper. With that paper in their possession the friends of the bill for honest elections have never had any fear but that a vote would be finally obtained, and they well knew that a vote meant the passage of thobill. Among those Republican Senators were four of the eight who yesterday voted with the Democrats in order to permit the confederates to capture the Senate. Of the otherfour twohadnot before been members of the Senate and one refused to sign the compact. It is a peculiar fact of the situation to-day that those Republican Senators who did sign this compact have been endeavoring to explain to their Republican associates how they justify themselves in what the majority of the Republicans are outspoken in deolaring is a violation of their obligation. These Republican Senators had said to some of their colleagues that their interpretation of the compact was that they were under no ob ligation to vote to pass the elections bill, aud that to displace it was to dispose of it by a vote. If this sophistry satisfies them their political consciences are more easily satisfied than would be those of most of their party associates. The possibility is that as the result of their action of yesterday this compact will be published, so that the American people can understand exactly what has been done, and what the agreement was at the last session, in consequence of which the elections bill was postponed.

In President Harrison, Secretary Noble and Commissioner Morgan the three men to-day responsible for tho Indian service the country has to-day men earnest, upright and sincere; but no man or men, however well intentioned, can get good agents through political appointments. Let Indian agents, like army officers, hold for good behavior, bo appointed only on suitable examination and owe promotion to merit and the work is done. The army is not tho only reservoir of honesty in tho land. Any American, under like condition of appointment, tenure and promotion by merit, will be as honest and efficient in dealing with the Indians as army officers. Government by Secret Conclave. Tlartford ConranL Among other interesting experiments. Kansas is to try, it seems, that of government by a more or less secret society. It it announced from Topeka that a committee of the State (Farmers') Alliance has been busily at work for weeks past drafting bills on all kinc's of subjects; that these, as fast as completed, are sent to the diilerent local branches of the bociety for their consideration and amendment; and that only after these bills are finally perfected in and approved by the Alliance will they be introduced in the Legislature and nzacted into laws. Great Times In Prospect. Albany Journal. Everybody wba has failed to makemoney during the past year is getting ready to move "on to Washington" and get reirn bursed by congressional enactment. There will be great times ahead when the freesilver Senate and the Alliance House get in their work: next winter. Patent medicines differ . One has reasonableness, another has not. One has reputation another has not. One has confidence, born of success another has only " hopes." Don't take it for granted that all patent medicines are alike. They are not. Let the years of uninterrupted success and the tens of thousands of cured and happy men and women, place Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription on the side of the comparison they belong. And there isn't a state or territory, no nor hardly a country in the world, whether its people realize it or not, but have men and women in them that re happier because of their discovery and their effects. Think of this in health. Think of it in sickness. And then think whether you can afford to make the trial if the makers can afford to take the risk to give your money back as they do if they do not benefit or cure you.
