IRISH AGITATION.
Several Large Meetings in the West
of Ireland.


London, Dec. 15.-Seyeral large land
agitation meetings were held in the
west of Ireland to-day. The meeting
at Ballinga was presided over by Gath
olic elergymen. A corps of pikemen
surrounded the place of meeting. Let
ters were read from Parnell, Patrick,
James Smith, John O'Connor Power
and Edmund Dwyer Gray, apologizing
for their absence. Among the speakers
were several Catholic clergymen. Gov
ernment reporters were present taking
notes of the speeches.
Browne, in his address stated that
some Of the causes of the distress in
Ireland were attributable to the COM
petition of American produce and bad
seasons at home. ALL of the speakers
advocated the peasant proprietary sys-
TEN, a resolution in favor of which was
adopted.
Another meeting was held at Car
rick-on-Sbannon. Dayitt, DAILY, Killen
and Brennan the recently released pris-
oners, were present.

COUNTED OUT.
THE MAINE RETURNING HOARD.


Iti5t Z 10 lrtfIilIsu
~ Boston, Dec. Dispatches from
Augusta assert that count has been
made by the governor and council OF
the election returns. which will result
in the delivery of certificates Tomorrow
to sufficient number Of democrats to
give that party a majority of both
branches of the legislature. 3 The dis
patches assert there is great feeling
among the republicans, owing to this
condition Of affairs.
The Aarsrhser's special from Angus
ia says the republican majority in both
branches of the legislature has been
counted out. The republican members
have been counted down from 90 to So,
and the democrats counted np from 81 to
7s. 1t is claimed that this is done on
technicalities and informalties in the
returns. The senate under the count
will have a demoeratic majority Of
nine, there being under the count 20
democratic senators and II republican
senators. Il
The governor and council count out
three senators from Cumberland, one
each from York, Lincoln and Wash
ington, and two from Andrescoggin.
The democrats will have. majority
large enough in the house to give a
quorum if none of the republicans
should appear. Il / 1tlLQ i

Washington Dec. 15.ATlie action
taken by the house committee on Indi-
an affairs, providing that the Colorado
Ute Indians shall be kept within the
boundary of that state, is based upon
the belief of majority of the commit
tee that they can be more securely
watched and guarded upon a small res
ervation, in southwestern Colorado, than
at any other point more distant from
the basis, of military operations, and
that they will be more contented and
less likely to create disturbances there
than z in any unfamiliar new location.
Besides these considerations the COM
mittee were, largely Influenced by the
united opposition of representatives of
other, ,sections-of the western cohntry
against locating those folmidablehdi
ans anywhere within their respective
states and territories,-and the influence
of, tho interior department was also
powerfully exerted in the same general
direction. The joint resolution as
amended will doubtless give rise to
considerable debate in, the house, but
its passage seems to be quite certain.
The recent rumor that Senator Ed
munds is to be.appointed to the Uaited
States supreme bench in place ofNJus-
tice Hunt appears to besincorrect, Tor it
is stated by personal friends of theta
ter that he is convalescent, and may be
expected to resume his duties ere long.

A Fire Mt Little Rock Results In
Death and Fatal Injuries.


Death and Fatal Injuries-
Little Lock, Dec. 15.-About three
O'Clock this morning the two-story
brick livery stable occupied by J. Gill
less, corner of Scott and Elm streets,
was discovered in flames, and in a few
hours despite the efforts of the fire de-
partment, owing to the infiammable
character of its contents, was wholly
destroyed. The flames communicated
to the cotton compress adjoining it,
which was also destroyed.
The family of Gilless were asleep in
the second story, and the only safe
avenue Of escape being cut off when
they were aroused, Mr.. Gilless and
wife dropped their children out of a
window to the ground below on Scott
street. The wife was suffocated by
smoke and falling back she was burned
to death. Gilless jumped from the
window and was picked up in an un-
conscious condition, from injuries re-
ceived about the head. 1t is thought
that he inhaled flames and is fatally in

THE AFGHAN WAR.
Partial Failure and Complete Wet.

Partial Failure and Complete Victory.
Calcutta, Dec. 15.--Gen. Roberts tel
egraphs the confirmation of the report
of Gen. McPherson's partial failure in
his attempt Friday to capture the ridge
above Bala Hessar at Cabul. On Sat
urday morning Gen. Baker attacked
the Afghans' position with two and a
half regiments of infantry, two regi-
ments of cavalry and eight guns, and
succeeded in capturing the hill, and
drove the Afghans from their position.
lJA letter dated Candahar, 1st inst,
and published at Bombay, says that
Gen. Stewart has been instructed to
send messenger to Ayoub Khan, the
Afghan commander of Herat, requir-
ing him to hold Herat in the name of
the British government, and threaten
ing an advancement thither of Brit
isfi force in case Of his failure to do so.
Gen. Roberts telegraphs from Cabul
under date of the 18th inst, that the
enemy have been defeated on all sides,
but notwithstanding their heavy losses
parties of Afghans still remain in the
neighborhood, Gen. Roberts announced
his intention to attack on the 18th inst,
unless these parties disperse,
I The total British loss during the
three days fighting is 43 killed, inclnd-
ing 6 officers and 76 wounded, of whom
10 are officers.

New York, Dec. ia dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says, Will
Its will to morrow introduce two bills
and move their reference to the judi
ciary committee. One of these provides
for an amendment to the jury law of
Utah, making the practice Of polygamy,
or belief that it is morally or legally
right for man to have more than one
wife at the same time, sufficient cause
for challenge and rejection of juror
in any trial of an offense against anti
polygamy laws. The other bill deprives
all persons in the territories, women as
well as men, who may be in polyga-
nous relation, of the right to vote or
hold Office.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-The Journals
Washington correspondent regards it
certain that the republican national
convention will be held in Chicago, as
there seems little organized opposition
among the members of the national
committee. The prominent candidates
for the craftsmanship are, Don Gamer
on, VIM. E. Chandler, w. P. Frye and
ex-Congressman Platt, with the chances
largely favoring Cameron.
The talk among the Maine politicians
here is that il Gov. Garcelon attempts
to carry out his revolutionary scheme
the republican members of the legisla-
ture will refuse to recognize such ac-
tlon as constitutional, and they will
meet and proceed to organize the legis-
lature, recognizing such republicans as
may be denied their certificates by the
governor
