ministers that the land law reform alone
will not satisfy Ireland, and the ad-
vocates Of coercion. headed by Foster,
Chief Secretary for Ireland, are increas.

gency OF the question has become 10 acute
that the idea Of December session OF

A very few days will show whether M.
Gladstone can again stitle the disturbances
in the Cabinet. II he summons Parlia.

course, four may desert him. f..F

ST. LOUIS, December s.-Louis Lock.
stein, who SO terribly butchered the Ryan
family, at Chester, Illinois, yesterday, was
farmer, living near Chester, and one ola
family Of six brothers and sisters. Louis
had been strong Catholic, but Of late had
attended meetings at other churches, and,
under strong excitement, occasioned there
by, became insane, but not violent, his
mania running mainly to asking persons
to pray with him. On Saturday, he
made his second sister kneel and pray
with him In the street, and expressed the
opinion that the world would come to an
end In few days. His story Is that at the
hotel from which he escaped, parties were
trying to rob him, and he had TO run
away, and that when he neared the
Ryan House he discovered 1t to be on
FIRE and rushed in and saved all the in.
mates with the exception OF the little boy,
who, he maintains, perished in the flames.
He saws that while saving the Ryans from
death by FIRE, his own clothes were on Are
and were burned off him and that he him
self was badly scorched. Thomas Ryan
was an old man, between seventy and
eighty years Of age, quite feeble, and
unable 10 defend himself against the
attack OF the maniac. His daughter, Mrs.
Smith, was young widow and kept house
for him. They were old citizens and
highly respected people. Great excite
ment existed among the citizens when the
butchery became known and strong dis
position was manifested TO lynch Lock-
stein notwithstanding his insanity. This
feeling, in fact, was 80 strong that the off,
GERS were obliged to take Lockstein across
the country In wagon and board train |
for East St. Louis, at small way station.

Capitol this evening for the purpose OF de-
termiuing the party policy in regard to
the Senate concurrent resolution now
pending in the House, which provides for
the adoption Of specified joint rule to
regulate the counting of the electoral
votes. In the course oi the discussion,
which continued for hours, 1t was ascer-
tanned that while all the mem.
bern present were in accord in
considering the proposed joint rule
unfair, unnecessary and even unconstitu.
tionsl, there were differences Of opinion
as to the extent to which party opposition
to its passage should be carried. 1t was
agreed on one hand that in view Of q large
and maniiestly decisive majority OF the
Electoral votes for the Republican candi-
dates, there is no danger that any attempt
will be made 10 set aside the re-.
suit Of the election by the improper
usc OF the proposed regulations, and

utterly useless to the Democrats for any
