TEE PIRNELLITEs OFRI;NDED.
TIE House of Cun,mcns Adjourned In Spite
Of their Earnest I'roieais.

LONDON, Dec GA scene of somewhat OK
traordinary excitement attended thelndiourn-
mcnt Of the House Of Commons day. Tho
motion to adjourn was made by Lord IL. Gros-
venor. He evidently made the motion in tho
interest Of the Government. Mr.. Thomas
Power O'Connor objected. He gave aa his rea-
son that there were sixty important questions
before the House. and chat no adjournment
could be deoontly takon until some OF those
questions were answered. In his objection Mr.
O'Connor had tho support OF nearly ali the Irish
members and OF many Liberals and Radicals
A bitter discussion followed. led by Mr.. Callan.
Tho result OF the Irish opposition to the ad-
journmont was two count outs ordered by the
Speaker. and it WAS by resort to the c0ture
that Mr.. Peel secured the declaration of ad-
lournmeut.
The rarnelitos nre greatly incensed over
the Speakers conduct. and have already or
sure against him. to be presented and pushed
to vote early next session. Mr.. lillian Sex
already secured promises from a large number
Of Liberals and from several Conservatives to
support lis in a motion Of censuro. The Speak
er's conduct was unpariamentary and un-
precedented. He virtually decreed coture inn
media,ely after the announcement that tho
royal assent had been given 70 the franchise
bill. My own opinion is that the Speakers ac-
tion was inspired by the Government. Its OBJ
Which / had given nolice This question asked
the Government for Information concerning
the appointment and complexion OF the Irish
Boundry Commission which must be appointed
under tho Redistribution bill to fix the boun-
daries of the new constituencies in Ireland.
Without some settlement Of this question salts

the grossest injustice and fraud will be perpe-
trated In the liking OF the now boundaries. We
wanted some expression upon the sub

Commission will be virtually under the thumb

est foo the League has in Ire and. As this
Commission will finish its labors before Paria-
ment reasscmbes. we deemed it Just that the
Govcrnment should indicate how the Commits
sion shall be made up aud how it shall perform
Its work. This the Government has avoided
by scandaous application OF cloture. Tho
Governments action will encourage Bolton to
work out his grudge against the League by
the work OF rodistrilutlng the Irish seas."

PLOTTING DYNAMITE OU7HAGEs.
English snies Again Alleged to He at tho
linton Of tho nnsiness.


LONDON, Dec 6-Mr William OBrien, the
editor Of United ireland, in an interview to-day
snid that he recently received personal letter
from O'Donovnn Rosa in which the latter de-
clarod he had goodrcason to believe that James
A. McDermott was a British spy employed to
secure evidence against Fenians. This letter
stated that recently McDermott cnlled upon
Hossn and offered to negotiate with him for tho
pcrpetration Of a series Of dynamite outrages
throughout England. Rosa says the plans
proposed were feasible. and II carried out
would have caused destruction and terror. but
he was led 70 dis,rust McDermott, and declined
tocammit himset to any OF the proposals.
NJ. q Brien added that in this same letter
letter written by McDermott to friend after
the latter had left Ireland and reached Amer.
ica, In which the writer admitted that he had
whilo incarccrntcd in tho Chatham con-
vict prison, WAS convicted. In this letter
McDermott refers to three Internal machines
Commenting on the letter Mr.. O'Bricn said he
believed that one Of these machines was used
Mt the llussay EXPLOSION. He said tho informa-
ton furnished by Rosa corroboratod great
deal OF the Information unearthed by members
OF the Home ltuis party In ireland. and went
far IT, justify the belief that n large number Of
tho dynamite outra.cs which had been charged
upnn League organizations were really tho
outcome OF plots inspired by fellows lik. Me-
Dermott Who being in tho pay Of the Huthori-
ties. managed to retain their sinecures by do

Charles G. Disbrow, youngest son OF Jo-

AMUSEME.yTS
Misc Nevada In "LucIn."

Tho atmosphere OF doubt and uncertainty
which has lately surrounded affairs at the
Academy Of Music was dlspelled yesterday
afternoon by Miss Nevads's appearance In
Lucia" Unfortunately, the changes OF pro-
gramme on Wednesday and Friday nights had
engendered a feeling Of distrust and the audi
ence was much smaller than that before which
Miss Nevada made her promising debut in
La Sonnambula." Distinguished singers
have however. received from much larger as
sombaSes far less applause than fell to the
share OF the American prima donna yesterday
afternoon.
Miss Nevadas Lucia fully confirmed the IA
vorable Impression left by her Amnd. In the
Inter role her voice seemed to derive n unique
charm from certain fragile beauty, which,
however. appeared unequal to the strain and
stress OF dramatic fervor and passion. But her
Lucia WAS Dramatically intense as well as vocal
y beautiful. Not only was her execution Of the
and her phrasing In tho graceful measures in
which the score abounds most delicate and re-
fined. but she threw herself. heart and
soul. into the sextet, carrying through her
part in 1t with thrilling effect. Her ear
nestness and sincerity are as important ele-
execution. She has by no means a large voice.
but It possesses most fortunately. a peculiar
carrying power which enables 1t to respond to
her dramatic intentions.
Signor de Anna's Aston was an eminenty
successful personation; This artists voice,
especially In the middle register, is rich and
actor. Signor Cardinali's EdgarLlo went far to-
ward reqeeming his lamentable II Duco Of FRI
