PARNELL'S VISIT TO AMERICA

Extensive Preparations In New York for III,
Recep,on-The Chicago Discussions.
lBy telegraph to the Dispatcn.I
NEW YORK, December l7.-Prepa-
rations for the reception OF Parnell-
though up to the present conducted in
private--are on grander scale than
any Irish movement which has ever
taken place in this city. The coopera-
ton Of such leading Irish-Americans
as Eugene Kelly, John d. Cummins,
Mayor Grace, Joseph j. 0'Donohue,
Myles NJ. O'Brien, James F. Coleman.
Morgan j. O'Brien, and others we'll
known in banking, business, and pro-
fessional circles, has been secured in
the formation of a citizens committee,
together with delegates from the Ma
tipnal League and various other Irish
societies, and everything but the minor
details Of the reception have been ar
ranged.
Nearly all the city officials Of Irish
birth or descent and many prominent
Americans have promised their support
to the movement, and it is confidently
expected that the Governor will preside
at the reception. All active workers in
the League, including DR.. William b.
Wallace. and such stalwart Nationalists
as John Dewey and John j. Breslin,
give the committee their earnest sup
port. Suitable arrangements will be
made to give place of honor to visit
ing delegations from other States and
cities, but New York proposes to take
care of its own reception, and will
make it point Of honor to keep it clear
Of even faint Of American party poll
tics.
Prominent Irishmen here say that
unless the Chicago discussions are
healed the convention, which is to meet
in that city in January, will be failure.
So strong is this feeling that an urgent
appeal, signed by some Of the most re-
spected Irishmen in New York, has
been cabled to Parnell asking him not
to jeopardize his position by coming to
this country at all.
Parnell has replied through one Of
his lieutenants that he is giving the
matter his most careful consideration.
A member of Parliament, who is in
Parnell's confidence, has written to a
friend in this city, stating emphatically
that unless the deplorable Chicago
quarrels and the attempted ostracism
of leading Irish citizens is speedily
stopped the Irish leader will not come
to America or give the convention any
countenance.
If Parnell does come, he will be given
such an ovation as no man ever before
received in the Empire City. tits con-
fdently predicted that the parlia-
mentary fund now being collected by
the Hoffman House Committee will
reach 800, O00 in short time.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December
1.-THE discussion Of tho rules still
engages the attention Of the House. II
is conceded that the new code will be
adopted by At least q two-thirds vote.
The debate, however, bids fair to draw
its weary length through to Saturday.
The change Is regarded in many quar-
ters IS scheme on the part Of
Certain sharp Republicans to open
the doors for questionable schemes,
for which the Democratic majority
will be held responsible by the country.
Governor Long, Of Massachusetts,, one
OF the ablest debaters on the Republic
can side, however, came out against the
proposed change in telling speech to-
day. The indications are that large
number Of the Democrats will vote
against change, but the others will
have the support Of the Republicans,
who, with the exception OF Cannon Of
Illinois, Governor Long, and q few
stragglers, viii vote for the change,
carrying it by a good majority. The
Virginia delegation will vote for the
proposed change, as in their opinion it
will facilitate the transaction Of busi-
ness.
The steel-cruiser Dolphin is to start
from the Brooklyn navy-yard on an
other trial-trip to Newport. She will
be in charge Of Commander r. W.

Among the bills that promise to take
prominence in the present Congress is
one being prepared by Hon. G. d.
Wise. 1t proposes to prohibit the con-
tracing by Government purchasing
agents for the purchase for the use Of
the Government Of any article manu-
featured by convict labor. This bill
will undoubtedly become a law, as
there appears to be disposition on the
part Of Congress to better the condition
Of workingmen. The enemies Of the
law enacted by the Forty-eighth Con-
gress to"prohibit the importation offor-
eign labor under contract" sought shell
ter for their true position in the fact
that the measure was loosely drawn,
and its letter failed to encompass the
spirit Of its formulators. 1t is safe to
say that these reasons will not prevail
in Mr. Wise's bill, and that it will stand
or fall on its merits as a law alone.
Among the prominent Virginians in
the capital city to-day are DR.. j. Bunt-
ing. and Mr.. A. b. Echols, Of Wash
