LODGE HAS AN ASTMMjnGRATIOH BILL BEADT IFnOM A STAFF COKBESrOXDEST.l Washington, Nov. SO. At high noon to-morrow Mr. Speaker Heed's big bulk will roll into tbe chair, liis little gavel will fall on the sounding board of bis dest, tbe chap lain will offer up a fervent petition for tbe preservation of ihe health and morals of the members duriug the session about to begin, and with proceedings somewhat similar in the Senate, the short sitting of the Fifty first Congress will be in full blast. There will be tbe President's message, and at this juncture of political affairs a good deal of curiosity is manifested to know what His Excellency will have to say. Or dinarily a message at this lime would be of little moment, but in view of the revolution in party politics, it is in order that there should be something vigorous, something that will strike a "keynote" as it were. A Strong Reason for Caution. Again, if, as it is suspected, the 1'resident Is a candidate for re-election, he will have to exercise a good deal of cunning to avoid giving some other candidate more of a boom than he does himself. The message, I am sorry to say, is not available at this writing. It is well known that there is always a scheme cooking to steal these messages and publish tbem in advance, and therefore of late years messages have been read lrom the manuscript and only put in print when it is too late lor the burglars of the press who look upon all such things as their legiti mate prey. The messare of to-morrow lias only this evening been sent to tbe printer, and it will be carefully watched until it is in type, which will not be before to-morrow morning, as only two or three compositors will be ,. . , i 1- :. . .1... ........... allowed to work, on ll. .n.a w kuc lajuicuus of the message tbey can only be surmised from tbe course that has been pur sued by the administration on important measures and from things that have been let Crop from time to time by those who are near to the person of the President and his advisers. "Will Stand by the aiclvinley Hill. The paper is expected to be a very vigor ous one for so cautious and unexcitablc a man as Harrison. It is said that it will contain a stout affirmation of the principles exemplified in the McKinley bill, and an appeal to the Republicans of tbe House and Senate to stand by it and retrace not a sin gle step. Of course it will throw out some sugges tions in regard to the passage of an appor tionment bill on the basis of the new cen sus, and it was decided at the last Cabinet meeting, so it is said, that the passage of a federal elections hill should be urged that would tend to ensure to the proscribed people of the South the privilege of the ballot box. Though Mr.Harnson was slow to adopt the reciprocity theories of Mr. Blaine, it is thought that he will have something to say in favor oi all legislation tending to pro mote closer relations with tbe sister Repub lics of the South America, and in connec tion with this the passage of the steamship subsidy Lills.as they are called. The Vexed Question of Silver. The great sticking point in the construc tion of the message has been the silver problem. It is well known that the Presi dent is not one of the extreme silver advo cates, being rather inclined to take the Sherman "Wall street view of things, but the condition of the finances of the country, notwithstanding the passage and operation of the bullion purchase bill, has made the situation much more difficult, and the Presi dent has been conlronted with the most vexing quandary of his administration. The stringency of tbe money market has brought the silver men to the front in force and more aggressive than ever in their fight for free coinage. TJp to the last moment the matter was discussed by the President with his advisers, and it is probable that the message will either contain no reference to the silver matter at all or that it will recommend a farther trial of the present bill which, it was expected, would give the money market all the relief required. Impossible to Suit Them AIL But it is well known that the bill now in operation was not at all satisfactory to the silver men, and that they accepted it merely because tbey thought it tbe best they could get at the time. It will be remembered that a free coinage amendment to the silver bill passed the Senate and was killed by a small majority in the House. This was accomplished by the efforts of Speaker Heed, more than through any other influence, and it is predicted that the Speaker will again array himself on the same side of the question. But since that the eventful elections have occurred which will be likely to temper the domineering moods of the burly Speaker. The Farmers' Alliance has'shown alarm ing strength and the tendency will be to en- act legislation that will please this crowing "lenient and not leave it all to the next inse with its bis Democratic majority. It lieved the President will r commend a r trial o! the present silver bill and ose who believe with him will do all n to block the way to any further lislation by keeping the elections and apportionment bills in the way until it is too late for the free coinage bill. Strength of tho Free Coinage Idea It is almost certain, however, that the friends of tree coinage will Tduster enough strength to suspend the rules, it necessary, and to pass a bill. In view or the virtual certainty of such a result some think that tbe President may have been led to modify his views at the last moment and to ignore the question altogether The only legislation of importance to Pennsylvania now on the books in Congress is the raid claims bill, which has been con sidered favorably by the committee having it in charge. Looking at the mass of bills which must almost of necessity be enacted into laws it must appear that this bill has little or no chance at this session, and in the next Congress, when each party will strive to make a record for economy, the chance will be still less. A good deal of this session will be enliv ened by expectation in regard to the pend ing Senatorial elections. There is a Sena torial contest under way in nearly every St .eof the Union. Oil the 4th or next March the terms of some 23 Senators expire, but in many instances the changes can be predicted now with considerable accuracy. Their Calling and Election Sore. It is already certain that Governor Gor don will succeed Senator Brown, of Georgia, and tbe Alabama Legislature has just de cided to return Senator Pugb. The re-election of Senators Stanford, of California; Jones, of Arkansas; Piatt, of Connecticut; Voorhees, of Indiana; Vest, of Missouri, and Vance, of North Carolina, may be re garded as certain. In Colorado Senator Teller is likely to have a fight on his hands, and in Florida Senator Call will probably be defeated. It is set down as a positive prediction in some quarters that Senator Farwell will not be re-elected, even if the Illinois Legislature should be Republican, while if it is Demo cratic Governor Palmer will surely come to the Senate. The politics of the successor to Senator Blair will depend upon the com plexion of the party that captures the New Hampshire Legislature, and Senator Bvarts will be succeeded by a New iTork Democrat whose name is now in Governor Hill's keep ing. Senator Mood v's successor will be a Demo crat, probably Bartlett Trip, of Yankton. "Wyoming's two new senators have already been elected, ex-Delegate Carey and Governor "Warren, hut the Kansas situation will not be cleared up till next January. The terms of Senator Jones, of Nevada; Senator Squire, of "Washington; Senator Hampton, of South Carolina, who had a hard fight on his hands. Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, and Senator Spooner.ol "Wisconsin, will also expire next spring. Tbe last named Senator will be succcdcd by a Demo crat. Lightner. QUAY NOT TO RESIGN. THE LATEST STATEMENT REGARDING THE CHAIRMAN. Harrison Has Become Reconciled to nim Because of the Fear That Blaine Would Gain by a Change l'latt Does Some Lively Hustling. rfrECIAt. TELEOKAK TO TIIB BISPATCH.l "Washington, Nov. 30. Senator Quay said to-day that he should not resign the chairmanshin ot the National Republican Committee, "jnst to please a lot of fellows who are not Republicans, anyway." Secre tary Fassett and Senator Quay have had teveral conferences' durinc the week, the Tcsulc of which will be the bearing of the message to Mr. Clarkson at Asheville, that he will have to remain vice chairman of the National Republican Committee and will not be able to use the machinery of that body tor General Alger's Presidental aspira tions. Since he came to "Washington last "Wednesday, Fassett has been busy all the time. There has been a stron? influence at work to get Mr. Quay out of the Chairman ship of the National Republican Commit tee. Ex-Senator Thomas C. Piatt did not want this to succeed, although he and Gen eral Alger are closely connected in busi ness. He sent Mr. Fassett to see if the movement conld not be defeated. Mr. Fas sett dined with the President on Thanks givinc Day, and there discussed the ques tion ol Quay's retirement. The President rather favored it. Senator Fassett also di-s-covered that Speaker Reed was advocating the abdication of Quay, aud was displaying a good deal of vindictiveness in the matter. Mr. Reed has been down on Quay ever since the Pennsylvania Senator prevented the passage of the fnrce bill last summer. Yhen Mr. Quay got back last Friday he was told of the situation, and Mr. Piatt was at once sent for. He arrived late on Friday night. On Saturday he had a preliminary talk with Senator Fassett. He then visited Mr. Blaine, who some people think had been quietly helping the movement to-oust Mr. Quay. Thence Mr. Piatt went to Secretary Tracy's, and finally he brought up at the "White House and remained an hour and a half. There is good ground for saying that Mr. Piatt yesterday was all things to all men, and that he succeeded in reconciling the President to Senator Quay's remaining Chairman by representing that it was dan gerous to begin changing the management of the National Committee, for Mr. Blaine was on the watch and would be apt to turn things to his own advantage. Mr. Ouav's closest friends say that he does not want to remain Chairman and that if his enemies will stop snarling at him he will resign in the spring. A CEETD7ICATE UECESSAET To Emigrate to America If Mr. Lodge is to Have the Say. "Washington, Not. 30. Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, will introduce to-morrow in the house a bill to regulate immigration. The first section of the bill excludes from the United States any person who is obnox ious in any way to the existing laws of the United States, including what is known as the "alien contract labor" law. The main point, however, of the proposed bill is in the succeeding sections, which require that every immigrant shall obtama certifi cate from some consul or diplomatic repre sentative ot the United States, and that without such certificate he cannot land in this country. The certificate thus required certifies that the holder is a person of good character, not obnoxious to any law of tbe United States, self-supporting, not assisted by charity or otherwise, and able to read and write his native language, and to read the Constitu tion of the United States, either in hiB native language or in English. To this consular certificate the law requires that a medical certificate, testifying to tbe physical and mental sonndness of tbe holder be ap pended. . LUBE'S GOOD LUCK. The Ex-Marslial Tarns 835,000 Profit on a Land Deal. rBraCIAI. TKLEOBAJJ TO THX DISPATCH. Washington, Nov. 30. Ex-Marshal Lusk, of North Carolina, retired from office about seven years ago. He hid a little money when he became Marshal, and added to it by carefully husbanding his salary. Upon tbe appointment of b.is successor, he put all of his money into North Carolina acres. The result of hi Investment was that until a short time ago be was "land poor." His mountainous domain was ex tensive and picturesque, but it was not pro ductive, JBut his turn came at last. Van derbilt, the great paper man, became enam ored of Lust's acres, and bought the tract of him at such figures tlfat he cleared about 535,000 on the transaction. Thesa things were told to a bright young North Carolina girl, who is employed in the Department of Justice, and who is a iriend of Mr. Lusk. She expressed herself as pleased at Lusk's good fortune, but wanted to know if Vanderbilt got off with only 100 acres. She wan asked what she meant. Her reply' was: "Oh, I am from that part of the country, and know what kind of land spreads itself out in those parts. Why, the usual method of proced ure down there is for a man who purchases 100 acres from another to stand over the seller with a shotgun to prevent him from giving a deed for 120 acres." THBEE HISTORICAL DESKS. Captain Bassctt Keeps Their Location Secret to Ward OffKelio Hunters. rBPKCIAl. TKLEQKAtt-TO TUB DIS'PATCnl "Washington, Nov. 30. The furniture in the Senate and Honsc of Representatives is renewed so often, especially that of the House, which has yeomen's service to per form when the members seek up and down for something to destroy and maul things within their reach, that very few desks be come historical objects. But the Senate is a bit more courteous toward inanimate things. Consequently desks in that cham ber have some show of becoming historical, but that show is limited. There are really but three desks in use in the national halls of legislation that have anything like his tory clinging aronnd them. They are in the Senate. "One is the desk that was used by Henry Clay; another is the desk at which Daniel Webster sat, and the third had John C. Calhoun for its owner. But nobody except the most venerable Captain Bassett, the Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, around whom it is legendary that the Capitol was built, knows which are those three desks. He has them marked in some way, and will probably leave when he dies, a key to the situation, but he now persistently refuses to tell any body this secret. He siys that he wanted to preserve the desks lrom the irrepressible relic hunters. A POOR LOCHINVAR COMES OUT OF THE WEST AND STEALS HIS BRIDE AWAY rrom the Man Slio Was Being Forced to Marry A ItnnnlngFigliton Horseback The Lovers Come Out Best and Are Happily Married. rFVEClAl. TKLEGKAM TO TUB BISFATCIM BurFAT.o, Okla., Nov. 30. A shooting affray, in which a Western Locbinvar and his stolen bride came out best, is reported from the Southern part of tbe public land strip. Mary Carson has been the belle of the section, and all the young men have aspired to her hand, but the parents were cold to ail comers until a wealthy cattle man named Royson made known bis inten tion of paying court to the young lady. His suit was favored by the girl's father and mother, but the suitor to which the belle showed preference was a young and hand some herder who had nothing but monthly wages on which to live. The persistent wooing of the cattleman and the coercion of the parents caused the lovers much unhappiness. After holding out against th.- demands of her parents un til life was made a burden to her, Mary at last consented to marry Roy son. All the preparations for a big wedding were completed, and when the dav 'egrajLtbe'peopie gathered fur,iji!lcx.round. oust Deiore me nour sei ior ine ceremony, John Holland, the poor lover, appeared riding a large horse and leading another. The prospective husband and the parents of the girl met him with Irowns, but he was allowed'to come into thehouse to participate in the festivities All went well for a time, but it was soon noticed that the girl and Holland had dis appeared, and a search revealed the fact that both the horses were also gone. A hot chase was begun, and a large party soon got on the trail of the fleeing couple. The girl had dressed herself in a suit of men's clothes, and was riding astride beside her lover, both being heavily armed. A running fight ensued on the plains, in which old man Carson and one of his herd ers were slightly shot and Royson had his horse killed under him. This proceeding drove back the pursuers, and the couple rode into Bufialo, where they were made husband and wife. NEW FISHERY TROUBLES. Cuban Vessels Said to ho Violating tho Marine League Limit. Punta Goedo, Fla., Nov. 30. News has just reached here of an outrage com mitted by Spanish smugglers on the Port Sanitary Inspector in Charlotte Harbor, Mor ris Cochran, an appointee of tbe State Board of Health. He boarded a Spanish schooner, and when asked to show his papers, the crew seized him and threw him overboard, afterward cutting his boat loose. With much difficulty he reached the shore. Tbe schooner sailed off, and her name could not be learned. The State Health Officer has made an of ficial complaint to tho Treasury Depart ment and the Marine Hospital service, be sides notifying the State Department that Spanish vessels are continually violating international laws and treaty obligations by fishing in Forida waters itiside the Marine League limit. Cuba has placed a high duty on American fish, and this, with violations of the lawj have broken the export fish busi ness from Key West, which formerly amounted to $100,000 or more annually.

MONDAY, THE ENDS SOUGHTEOR Bytud Farmers' Alliance ArelOut Iined by Uio Leaders, WHO MEET AT 00ALA TO-MORROW. ! Blaine and Cleveland Are Not Acceptable to the Farmers.' A THIRD PARTI M0YEMEKT SOT-fcEE u (SPECIAL TELEOllAM TO TtlB DISPATCH.! ( Ocala, Fla., Nov. S0.-More thjribalf of the delegates to the National Contention of the Farmers' Alliance, which oij?nsDn Tuesday, have arrived and the town Is already thronged by these and other strangers. AU of the national ofisers of the Alliance are here, and the prelimiaary caucusslng and canvassing, ,Jhlch will settle probably tho action of the convention upon political subjects, has actively begun. It may be said without qualification, that the third party movement will not be indorsed by the Alliance at tbe coming convention. Tbe plans or the leaders lie iu a new and different direction. They propose to keep the Alliance nominally out of politics, in the belief that its power will be greatly en hanced by such a course. It does not follow that there will Ve' no third party movement in 18D2. On the con trary, the prevalent feeling among the delegates now here is that there will be such a party and that it will have the full sup port of the Alliance, although not organized under its direct auspices. BLAINE AND CLEVELAND TABOOED. "Suppose Cleveland and Blaine should be the rival candidates in 1S02, what would be the course of the Alliance?" was asked of a leader. "The Alliance would not sup port either of them." was the straight, un hesitating reply. Then came the further declaration that there would be a third party in the field, that it would not be. organized by the Alliance, but that it would receive the full support of the Alliance if its candidates and platform were acceptable to it. "Blaine cannot possibly get Alliance sup port," said one man. "He is spattered from head to foot, and above all things the Alli ance demands purity in men and measures." To test the strength of the opposition to Cleveland, it was suggested that, according to recent rumor, he was rapidly becoming a convert to the doctrine of free coinage of silver, which is one of the Alliance's pet measures. "That will make no difference whatever in our opposition to him," replied one of Colonel Polk's associates. "We havcinvestigated thoroughly the conduct of the Treasury Department under Cleveland's administration, and it was the worst ever known. Things were done with his ap proval in defiance of law and right, and no late repentance could possibly rehabilitate him in our eyes." "We shall constantly strive to avoid any appearance ot arraying the agricultural against the commercial interests of the country," said Dr. Macnne, Chief of the" National Executive Board ot the Alliance. "That is another reason why the Alliance should keep out of partisan politics." what a thied tahty siiould.be. "If a third party should be formed," said National Lecturer Terrell, "I hope it will be dissolved the moment it has accom nlinhed its obiects. I don't believe in a permanent third party movement under any,-, auspices. - AV-Bnomo, oa icwiku w iu taneonsly under pressing necessity, and should be abandoned as soon as the desired aim is gained. If occasion demands its re organization, it can be revived if the emer gency is really great enough to justify it." The coming convention will tackle the National debt question in a rather startling way. "Do you know," said one of the National officers of the Alliance, "that if one of the big metropolitan dailies should investigate and make public the acts of Coneress authorizing the issue of the Gov ernment bonds now outstanding, that the premium on those bonds in the market would disappear within 30 days? We have had attorneys en gaged upon the matter for five months, and if we can get it inta court, we have the assurance of high legal authority that all outstanding bonds would be declared now due and payable at par. "We contend that evcrv payment of a premium on these bonds by tbe'Governnient has been not only ille gal, but unnecessary, and that the seuenty millions thus paid out in interest has been money thrown away. TO ENJOIN BOND rREJIITJMS. "The refunding act of 1871 stipulated that the bonds issued under it should not be pay able in advance of the time or limit pre scribed in the act, unless gold and green backs should become interchangeable at face values. We contend that under that specification the bonds become payable at any time after the resumption of specie pay ments. We have accordingly been trying to secure an injunction against the further payment of premiums on bonds by tbe Na tional Treasury." Powderly has not arrived yet. He has explained the main features ot'his political plans to the officers of the Alliance. He will not ask lor any decisive political action at this convention. All he will ask for will be the appointment of a committee to represent the Alliance at a conference to be held two or three months hence, at which delegates from all thef'.reat agricultural and labor bodies may consider the question of united political action iu matters where in terests are identical. Such a committee may be appointed, but it will probably be closely restricted in power and discretion. PRESIDENT POLK KBEES HIS MIND. President Polk, of North Carolina, said: "It will be the aim of the National Alli ance at this meeting to so direct all its la bors and deliberations that its policy shall be universally recognized as one of na tional fraternity and unity. We desire to make it thoroughly national in its charac ter. We desire to break down sec tional lines. We have had enough of bloody shirt We have had enough of sec tional animosity on both sides. Prior to last December, the Alliance was practically unknown north of the Ohio river, but at the St. Louis convention we made a grand break across Mason and Dixon's line." When asked for an opinion as to the cause of the result of the recent election, President Polk said: "I am morally certain we shall have to look beyond tne McKinley tariff bill. It was not that. We must look farther than any and all of the political anestions which have been ob scuring the real .issue for nearly 20 years. It was tbe oppression of the financial system of this country upon tbe masses ot people. They have just found out what the matter is. Tbey are thinkers to-day if they never were before. Tbey have scratched away all the rubbish of the negfo qnestion, of the bloody shirt, of the tariff and of tne Fed eral control of elections, aud they have at last got down to hard pan. the money powek. It's the dollar that is keeping people down to-day. It is tbe money power the rnle of plutocracy, and tbe people will have no more of it. Tbe slogan henceforth is to be financial reform. The National hanking system must go. The farmer and laborer most be given a chance to get what money tbey need upon the security of their real property a privilege which is denied them to-uay. Tbe issue from now on is to be a square one between thA m&nhnnd of America on one side and tbe irreat American dollar nn the other. And L tell yon ncht now that unless leaders of the great political battles come to recognize the real issue thero is going to be terrible times in tbis country. The people will not suffer tbe real issue to be ohsenred ut Ionizer. Tbe neonlo of .this coun try are going to nuo It, ecUonaUam-cwnotJ DECEMBER 1, 1890.

TELionAM to Tins dibpatch. New York, Nov. 30. The stay of exe cution which Lawyer R. J. Haire succeeded in getting for his client, murderer Joseph "Wood, the negro, who was to have been shocked to' death sometime in the week beginning to-day, was generally commented on to-dny,and the lawyer got a good many compliments for shrewdness. Whether he loses his case on appeal or not, he has saved Wood from being tho victim of the second experiment of electric execution. Jugiro, the Japanese, who stabbed a man in the back, will almost certainly be the next victim of the law. His case has been appealed to the highest court, and it has been decided aeainst him. He has no other chance. He will be brought down from Sing Sing to-morrow by Warden Brush, and Recorder Smith will re-sentence him to death. Under the law the ex ecution or the sentence cannot take place in less than four weeks from the time of the sentence and must not be put off more than eight weeks. In the cases that have come before tho Recorder here tofore he has made the date of executions early as the law has allowed. There is no reason to suppose be will not do the same in this case, and if he does, the mur derer may be killed before the new year. Jngiro has been a good prisoner since he has been at Sing Sing. The Rev. Father Creeden. the pastor ot the village Catholic church, has tried to convert him to the Catholic faith, but has failed. He was cheerful until the day last week that the Supreme Court decided he must die. He then became sullen and got very much downhearted. He has brightened up a little in the last few days, but he is not nearly as cheerful as he was two weeks ago. The ma chinery is all ready and the chair is un packed, ready to be put in place. SAVED IN TIME. The Irwin Sisters Narrowly Escape Being Burned to Heath. rSPECIAt TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.'. CniCAGO, Nov. 30. Flora and May Irwin, tho sisters whose specialties and songs have made them favorites in the City Directory Company at the Chicago Opera House.had a narrowescape from being burned to death this afternoon. While the sisters were in their dressing-room making up for their appearance at the matinee Flora had occasion to use a curling iron that had been left too long in a hot fire. When she ap plied it to her hair it set the latter afire. Thoroughly frightened, she let go of the iron and it dropped into the folds of lace that encircled the bodice of her dress. In a moment the delicate fabric was ablaze. Miss May Irwin sprang to her sister's assistance, and, while trying to put the fire out, the lace on her own dress also became ignited. The two women tore tho blazing stuff from their bodies in an effort to keep the fiame3 from mounting to their laces, but their efforts would have been nnsuc- !vpful,?.had,nojjb3ge. bfnds, atirairtpd.by. luuir .erica lur uetp, juujjjci miu me dressing room and wrapped them .in heavy blankets. When the fire was finally extinguished, both sisters were found to be so badly burned as to preclude the possi bility of their appearing at the afternoon or evening performances. They were sent to their hotel in a carriage and placed un der the care of a physician. TWO VEBDANT GRANGERS. Their Money .Saved prom the Clutches of: Green Goods Men. rSFKCIAL TELEQEAM TO THE D1SPATCU.1 New York, Nov. 30. Two grangers from near Jackson, Miss., both armed with big revolvers, were escorted to the Pennsyl vania Railroad station in Newark to-day by the police and forwarded to their homes. They were convinced that they were in luck. They went to Newark at the invitation of green goods men, who promised them ten lor one in dollars printed from stolen plates made by the National Bureau of Engraving and Printing. They hung around the Adams House, in Newark, lor three or four hours on Friday, and were finally picked up and taken to police headquarters by.a police sertreant. When the little game was explained to them they expressed their thanks and said that all they wanted was permission to go home with the big rolls of money which each bad. They admitted that they in tended to flood Lower Mississippi "with cheap, but excellent, money. There is no law in New Jersey to prohibit carrying con cealed weapons, or both men would have been fined heavily. MAY TURN OUT. Strong Probability of State Troops Partici pating In Paulson's Inauguration. rcrr-CIAL TELEOBAM TO THE niSPATCII.l " Harrisburg, Nov. 30. It is highly probable that tbe National Guard will par ticipate in the inauguration of Governor Pattison, who, it is said on good authority, will not interpose any objection to the pres ence of the State troops on that occasion. The Governor-elect is understood to have been consnlted at the instance ot Governor Beaver, as to bis view of the propriety of the militia turning out on inanguration day, and the interview was sufficiently fay. orable to justify the belief that the entire guard will be on hand at that time if the railroad companies pursue their customary policy of giving the troops free transporta tion from and to their homes. A BEAUTIFUL CREOLE Suing for a Divorce From the Man Whose Life She Saved. ISFECtAX. TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. Baltimore, Nov. 30. Sarah Wilds, a Creole, has entered suit here for divorce from her husband, John L. Wilds, on the ground of cruel treatment and abandonment. The plaintiff is a native of the Bahama Inlands, where she first met her husband in 1874. Wilds was a passenger on a vessel that was wrecked on the Bahamas, and he was one of the few saved.- When tonnd he was unconscious, and it was only by careful" nursing that he re gained his health. Sarah was his nurse. For weeks she remained at his bedside and attended him until he had fully recovered. WILL NOT ARBITRATE. State of the Negotiations Concerning the Newfoundland Fisheries.

JUSTIN M'CARTHY. In Cboosing Between leader and ,Causo They Take the Cause. . PAEKELL ACCOMPLISHED MUCH, Eat is Upbraided for Pursuing His Present Ruinous Coarse. THE DECISION MADE EEMJCTAKTIjT Chicago, Nov. 30. The views of the Irishmen in America, excepting Timothy Harrington, were cabled to-night to London. The following is the document in full: To Justin McCarthy, M. 1'., Vice Chairman of the Irish parliamentary 1'arty: Our sense of the matchless genius of Mr. Parnell as a leader, of the imperishable serv ices he has rendered to tho Irish cause, of tbe courage, integrity and splendid success with which ho has led our people for ten years, and thotioof comradeship and personal respect and affection which for years bonnd us to him, have made us suspend to tbo latest possible moment our judgment against his further leadership. The obligation to express that jadcnient is to all of us tho most nainfnl dnty of onr lives. No earthly consideration could have moved us to onr determination except the solemn conviction that we are driven tochooso between Mr. Parnell and the destruction of onr country's cause. LAST nOPE COT OFF. So palnf ally alive were wo to all that might be involved in the loss of such a leader, that wo eagerly co-operated with our colleagues In every effort to retain his influenco in our conn sols. The manifesto which Sir. Farnell has jnst issued cuts ns off from the last hopes to which wo clung. Anxious to avoid words that missht embitter this controversy, wo shall not dwell upon the cruel Injustice with which he treats the members ot the party Iliac has followed him with a loyalty and affection snch as no leader ever experienced before. His recollection of their fealty to him In many an hour of trial might well have saved tbem from the impntation tbat any section of them could have allowed their In tegrity to be sapped by Liberal wire pullers, nor would wo do more than enter a protest against this violation of all constitutional prin ciple in floating by anticipation tbe decision of elected representatives of tho people, from whose votes tbe Chairman of the Parliamentary party receives his antbority, and resorting to a vague general appeal over their heads. ME IMPUTATION AGAINST LIBERALS. Considerations like theso wo should readily have waived in tbe interest of national soli darity; but tbe method in which, ignoring the origin of tbe present calamitous sitnation, Mr. Parnell endeavored to fasten the responsibility for it upon Messrs. Gladstone and Motley, com pels us to disassociato ourselves In the strong est manner from an Imputation which we be lieve to be reckless and unjust. We view with abhorrence tho attacks that have been made upon Mr. Parnell by his public and private enemies under cover of bis present difficulties. To attacks of this kind, addressed to a man of a proud and strong spirit, we all at tribute many of the terrible dangers with which Ireland is now threatened; and we. fear that tlicy do the f artber-mlscbiet cfdlvertlnfr tbe minds of manypop1e'lrototr'aveiIJitionai to purely personal issues, in natural resentment of ungenerous attacks on a great leader in an hour of stress and disaster. But while making every possible allowance for Mr. Parnell's feel ing on this score, we consider it UNJUST TO THE ENGLISH PEOPLE, and lamentablo from the point of view of inter national good feeling, to describe as English wolves, howling for his destrnction. those who have not been able to bring themselves to tho same view to which gratitude and the neces sity for union impelled Mr. Parnell's own col leagues and countrymen. 1 he plea of 31r. Parnell that Mr. Gladstone's letter involves a claim to dictate to the Irish party, and therehystrike at the independence of that party as a strictly Irish National body, is one calculated to inspire every Irish Nation alist with alatm, if that plea were not an obvious fallacy. The Irish party was formed for tho purpose of winning home rule for Ireland. Anyattempt to divert tbe Irish party from that object in the interest of English parties would he an In vasion of tbo independence of the Irish party, and would, we believe, be repelled by no one more sternly than by our colleagues and our selves, who are now in opposition to Mr. Parnell. But the very basis of our Independent alli ance with the Liberal party, is tho adoption by them of tbe programme for which the Irish party was formed, and the recognition that it must be the first tasU of a Liberal cabinet to realize that programme. MR. GLADSTONE'S INTENTIONS. Whatever difference of opinion may exist as to the haste with which Mr. Gladstone's letter was communicated to tho public, it was obvi ously not his hostility to home rule, but hl3 earnest desire to save it from disaster, that prompted Mr. Giadstono to write his letter. We deplore that the difficulties of Mr. Glad stone's position were not frankly recognized by Mr. Parnell, and that, on the contrary, friendly private communications communications ob viously made with a view of smoothing tho passage of the homo rnle bill have been made tbe basis of insinuations of treachery to tbe Irish cause. By his conviction, again and again expressed, the home rnle, to be effective, must be such a measure as will satisfy the Irish peo ple. Mr. Gladstone ii bound to a full and ample measure of self-governincntto Ireland. Tooffer any other scheme would not only ho an act of incredible baseness, hut also of incredible folly; and we emphatically separate ourselves from any such charge against Mr. Gladstone. We think it deplorable that Mr. Morley's sug gestion that some of the Irish party would co operate in carrying out tbe programme of a Liberal Home Rnle party, would be so strange, ly interpreted by Mr. Parnell. OFFICE HOLDING. Every member of tbe Irish party will, of course, agree with Mr. Parnell tbat the accept ance by any Nationalist member of office from an English ministry would be a breach of the elementary principles upon which our party is founded; but nobody who knows Mr. Morley's character will doubt that the suggestion was made in the honest belief that a Liberal min istry wonld be helped in the difficult work of carrying through tbe details of an Irish home rule bill by the co-operation of Irish colleagues, and it was not an Insidious attempt on the in teenty and Independence of the Irish party. We have now to confront the statement that Mr. Parnell's leadership opens an impassable gulf between tbe representatives of Ireland aud the Liberal party, who have faithfully ob served their side of tbe agreement as to tbe National claims of Ireland, and the sitnation is aegravatcd by tbo deplorable expressions of ill-will toward the British people who have again and again, within tbe past five years, manifested their determination to do justice to Ireland, and have by their votes paralyzed the arm of coercion. BASH AND FATAL COURSE. In deliberately bringing things to this posi tion, Mr. Parnell has entered npon a rash and fatal path, npon which every consideration of Ireland's safety, as well as of personal honor, forbid us absolutely to follow him. In tbe future of a party thus isolated and discredited, we cannot imagine how any Irish man can see anything but destrnction of tbe hopes of self-government, happiness and peace, which but a few weeks ago weroontbe point of being rea!ized,for our people, so tried by many years of sacrifice and suffering. What Mr. Parnell asks us to do, stripped of all side issues, is to sacrifice all tbe hopes of an early settlement of the Irish struggle to his resolve to maintain bis personal position. We are driven to choose between onr leader and onr cause. In that sacred choice we cannot hesitate. We lay theso views respectfully before all oor colleagues of the Irish Parliamentary party. In the earnest belief that a decisive vote of their parly mil deliver Ireland from the fearful anxiety which now overhangs her people, APPEAL TO PABNELL. JjflVo ateconvlnced that a calm but resolute course of action on our part in this cruel emer gency will redound to the advantage of our cause, by furnishing conclusive testimony of tho capacity of our party and of our people "for self-eoTerntnent. We cannot relinquish tho hope tbat in face of such decisive action by tbe electlvo representatives of tbe Irish people. Mr. Farneirs sense of patriotism will withhold him from plunglnc Ireland Into those horrors ot dissension which bare so often already, in her tragic and unhappy history, robbed her of liberty at tbe moment it was within her grasp, and will save him from undoing In one -passionate hour the result of ill his incomparable ser vices to his country.

No Attempt Was Made to Fetter Parnell's Actions The Office Proposal Repudi ated No Conclusions Formed Against Legislation Mr. Giadstono Defended. London, Nov. 30. Mr. Morley writes to the press as follows: The manifesto of Mr. Parnell contains two or three statements affecting me which I desire, withont loss of time, to correct: First I made no sort of attempt to fetter Mr. Parnell's action with reference to tbe land bill. He agreed with mo in all our conversa tions that the bill ought to be opposed, as omitting tbe principles of local control and for other reasons specified in bis speech of April 21. The only qnestion was as to the form of a motion for the rejection of tbe bill. I pointed ont to him on April 14. that as many Liberals objected to the whole principle of the bill, an amendment stating their reasons wonld be less suitable than a motion for its rejection simpliciter.

His answer to my inquiry was what I fully anticipated. ... , Third Mr. Parnell's account or what passed on the same occasion on the subject of evicted tenants on the plan of campaign estates is wholly incorrect. I observed tbat some direct action might become necessary. Though I foresaw difficulties in the way of legislation, I never said that lor anypf my colleagues had formed any conclusion against legislation. I never said or hinted that it would be Impos oiiitn fnr an Irish Parliament to do anything in the matter. 1 did say that, whother by direct or indirect action, evicted tenants eugbt not be allowed to suffer. As to Tipperary, there is all the difference between a sensible perception ot the difficulties and tho despair which Mr. Par nell ascribes to me. Mr. Gladstone is well able to deal with his own share of the manifesto, but I am bound to savtbaton November 10 I was under the most distinct impression that Mr. Parnell did not object to tbe impression thrown ont at haw. arden a year ago, as subjects for provisional examination, it thoso suggestions were likely to make the scheme generally acceptable to Great Britain. AGAINST PAHHELL. Resolutions Adopted in Philadelphia De manding Ills Retirement. tSPECIAI. TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.t PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 30. A public meeting of the Parnell branch of the Irish National League was held in Philopatrian Hall thisj afternoon, and, alter a Iorig-md r afn,mYTifn&inTi.Tiaff3d resolutions callinir for the immediate resignation of Parnell as leader of the Irish pdrtv. Jlnrtin I. J. Griffin, editor of the J". C. B. U. Journal; Bev. Mr.MacEvey, of thelteformed Church; Thomas McFarland, Esq., of the Father Matthew Club of Philadelphia, and others made strong speeches against Parnell as a man unfit to lead the Irish party. Edward Meakin, of the Jefferson Branch, and Thomas Lyons, of tho Dr. Moriarity Branch, made able arguments in favor of the retention of Parnell, and said tbat it would be a shame to throw a man overboard who had done so much for the Irish cause. After several other prominent Irishmen had spoken, a resolution that Parnellshould re sign was carried by a large majority. AECHBISHOP WALSH ON PAENELL. Ho Criticises rnrnell's Breach, of Confidence With Gladstone. Dublin, Nov. 30. In an interview, Archbishop "Walsh, referring to his recent letter on the Parnell difficulty, says: The letter was guarded becauso Mr. Parnell had not then spoken. But now his manifesto enables me to speak more plainly. Unless Mr. Parnell clears himself of the charge of immor ality tbe party taking or retaining him as their leader will not find tbe support, co-operation or confidence of the Irish bisXons. Mr. Parnell's breach of Mr. Gladstone's confidence is blame able. Archbishop Walsh speaks only of the moral aspect of the manifesto, saying tbat he leaves itsjpolitical bearings to the Irish members. GLADSTONE SPEAKS AGAIN. Alliance Between Irish, Nationalists and Liberals Will Continue. London, Nov. 30. Mr. Gladstone, writ ing to Mr. Mellor, the Liberal candidate at Bassctlaw, say3: Mr. Parnell's manifesto has widened the gulf made by recent disclosures, and ha3 separated him from tho Liberal party, who have now to consider the great and noble cause of justice for Ireland aoart from any individual name. But I am glad to tbink. so far as appears, there will not be a severance between us and the Nationalist party, for Mr. Parnell throws over his colleagues. He acknowledges In tbem no right or authority, and goes past the consti tutional representatives of his country in his fancied appeal to the nation which had chosen them to speak its wants and wishes. HUSH ENVOYS IN CHICAGO. While gome Write the Decision Others Dine With 3Irs. FarneH. Chicago, Nov. 30. While three of the six Irish envoys were penning the document that severed their connection with Parnell, the three.other envoys, including two whose names were attached to the document, were dining iu company with Mrs. Parnell. The three to whom fell the task of filling out the document that had been agreed upon during the afternoon, were "William O'Brien, Gill and O'Connor. So far 'as could be learned, Mrs. Parnell mercifully knew nothing of what was being done in the closed room downtown. WILL FIGHT TO THE LAST. Mr. Parnell and 24 of His Colleagues Reach Tha Conclusion. London, Nov. 3a Mr. Parnell, by tele graph, invited those of his colleagues who were favorable to his retention in the leader ship to meet him Saturday evening at the Westminster Palace Hotel. Twenty-four of those invited met Mr. Par nell, and together they discussed the situa tion.

Tito of Tiiem Flange Into a River and a Escape by Swimming. M k QRkimOS SKATEC'S EAED LUCK tSrSCTAI. TELr.Gr.AM TO TUE DISPATCH. Baltimore, Nov. 30. Along the line cf the Monocacy river, skirting the Balti more and Ohio P.ailroad, a gang of robbers has been operating for nearly a year. They not only stole from the company, but held up foot passengers who came their way. When booty was scarce they broke into country stores. All efforts on the part of the railroad people to capture them had un til to-day proved unavailing. Detectives were placed along the line and stationed on cars, but in some way the highwaymen were always warned of their coming and got out of the way. The Baltimore and Ohio de tectives who had worked on the case knew the robbers, "but could not get at them. They had established headquarters on a little island in the middle of the Monocacy river, where, provided with boats, they easily made their escape when an attack was threatened. Since last month they have become more daring than ever, and some ol their esca pades rival those of the train robbers ou the Pacific slope. On October 5 tbey held up William H. Williams, of Harper's Ferry, near Elliott City, and took all of his money, his watch and chain, and even all his clothes, except one shirt and a pair of trousers. George H. Marshall, of Hagerstown, was the next victim. After going through him, they kicked him off a train while it was passing. Sansdowne. Marshall spentseveral weeks at the Maryland University Hospital recovering from injuries received by being thrown from the train. robbing cars and stores. On Friday night, November 21, the band, robbed a car at Frederick Junction of enough goods to start a store, and on the following night they robbed the store of AVilliam Meyers, of Van Cleeversville, W". Va., ot S250 worth of goods. It was then that Policeman Short, of the Southern dis trict, one ol the pluckiest men on the force, was detailed to assist the Baltimore and Ohio detectives in running down the gang. He unexpectedly came up with them on Monday morning last on the railroad near the Washington road. They passed in a coal hopper train, and when some little dis tance off they left the train and began to fire at Short There were five in the gang, and though they escaped at tbe time, the officers came up with them again to-dav on the banks of the river. They were taken unawares, and when ordered to surrender three of them, Michael Worth, Michael Cunningham and Harry Duvall, obeyed, but tbe other two pluoged into the river and struck out for the other shore. The three men caught were unarmed, but wore stolen clothing and had a quantity of stolen goods on them. The two fleeing men each had 38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolvers and plenty of ammunition. The detectives couldn't get across the river, and so deputized Farmer Best, who mounted a horse and followed the fugitives. He was armed with a 32-caIiber pistol and had only a few ballets. As he ascended, the hill, on the other side of the river.f he men saw him, and turning quickly opened fire upon him. Best returned their fire, and for'a time there was a lively fnsil ade. About 25 shots were exchanged, when the men dashed into the woods and disap peared. MORE OF THE GANG CAPTURED. The three men who were captured were taken to Frederick and committed to jail to await a hearing next week. Last night Policeman Short and Detective Hutchinson, while going up the Toad on a Metropolitan branch train, saw a fire in the woods near Washington Grove. TJiey left the train at Gaithersburg, and going back, caught Harry Hallman, alias Flick. His com panion, Archer Zepp, alias Woodberry, the leader of the gang, escaped to 'the woods. He tried to hold up the officers, and as they would not have it that way, he ran -and several shots were fired after him. Hallman, or Flick, was brought to Balti more and locked up in tbe Southern Police Station. He is about 18 years old, and was formerly an inmate of the House of Refuge. He talk'ed with little concern about the deeds of tbe gang, and showed himself a hardened young rascal. He said he had on three suits of underclothing which he had taken in the Van Cleeversville robbery. The others were older than he. All were well armed, and he said two pistols were held at Williams' head when they robbed him. Hallman told of several additional robberies and seemed to take great delight in having held up the champion roller skater of the world. The champion had been play ing in hard luck, and with an old man from Philadelphia, wag beating his way from St. Louis. The gang ran across them near Dabtown and relieved them of everything they had. The champion roller Bkater told them that his manager had robbed him, but the gang wouldn't listen to his plea aud took what the manager had left.

King, a di vinity student at Acadia College, Wolfille, and the Bev. Mr. Brown, rector of the Episcopal Church at Middleion, were pass engers on the train for Annapolis to-day. The Bev. Mr. Brown's hat was on the seat of the car. King did not notice it and sat down on it. This so enraged the Bev. Mr. Brown that he jumped from bis seat and punched young King's face in the most ap proved pugilistic fashion, breaking his nose and blackening both eyes. The divinity student's wounds bled prolusely. and there was a large pool of blood on the floor. The passengers were highly indignant at the brutal assault. The Bev. Henry J. Howe, who was traveling with the fighting parson, denounced his brutality in un measured terms and will report to the Bishop. King will also have a warrant issued for his arrest.
