An Exciting Race at the wiawam,.

There was a large crowd at the Wig.am Rink,
last night. to see the race between Daniel
OLeary, the long-distance pedestrian, and A.. B..
Cutter, the conditions of which were that the
former should walk fve.eights of a mile while
the latter skated the full race. Mr.. Cutter won
by half a lap, but it kept him very busy. To-
night he will attempt to skate two miles while
ULeary walks one and one eighth mile. There
is a new track at this place; and a good race may
be expected.

SHARP DISCUSSION OF THE LIQUOR QUESTION
IN THE SENATE.
There was quite an animated debate in the
Senate yesterday afternoon upon the subject of
prohibition in the Capitol building. The joint
rules being before that body 1t was determined,
by yea and nay vote, As mentioned in yester.
days STAR, to retain the thirteenth rule, which
prohibits any intoxicating liquor being either
kept, exhibited or offered for sale in the Capt.
til, and provides that any officer or emplOye
who disregards the rules shall be dismissed
The committee on rules recommended that this
rule be stricken out, on the ground that each
suit itself; but the Senate disagreed.
Mr. Ingalls, thought the Senate was straining
at gnats and swallowing camels. He sent up to
the clerks desk and had read the wine list of
the Senate cafe. 1t contained, with prices an
nexed, about all the choice brands Of wines and
of malt liquors. Mr.. Ingalls, said the keeper OF
the cafe had been advertised as the only man
who would run temperance restaurant.
Mr.. COckrell said Senators who were in the
habit of keeping liquor in their committee
rooms had voted to retain the thirteenth rule
knowing it would amount to nothing. He
offered An amendment to make Senators who
should violate the rule subject to expulsion,
saying it was unjust to hold employees respon-
sible and exempt Senator'S
There were several sharp passages.
Mr.. Vest said that in view of the statistics
showing the sale OF liquor in Maine, in spite OF
prohibition, he could not trust any man from
that state not to sell liquor If he got the chance.
Finally as a compromise the clause making
employees liable to dismissal was stricken out,
and the rule thus amended adopted.

LONDON, Dec. 16.-I am now In q position to

temporary agreement between the government
and Parnell is drawing to an end. Lord Sails

question. As this in all probability will be

TO prophesy when Gladstone will take Office,
but If Lord Salisbury and Parneu fall out and
the Irish votes go against the tories, Salisbury
will resign office and the liberals must take the
question up. Then Gladstone will have his
scheme ready and will make strenuous efforts
to carry it. Parnelrs concurrence, of course, is
essential, and If his support can be obtained
only at the cost OF the disruption of the party.
Gladstone is quite prepared to take even that
responsibility. and appeal to the country

Mr.. Chamberlain on the other. The spectacle

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Dec. 16.-In regard to the New York
Suns dispatch stating that a liberal club has
bOycOtted the Irish, 1 have made most careful
enquiries and cannot find the slightest founda-
ton for it. At the National Liberal club no
body had heard word. At the London Office
of the Freenans' Journal, the chief nationalist
organ, no basis or truth is known for the report.
These certainly would be the first people to
hear of il ii true. II is just possible that some
Insignificant radical wOrkingmen's club passed
some such resolution, though this is unlikely,
because the Irish have clubs of their own. am
therefore convinced that the statement is
wholly incorrect.

The RAILROAD Land Grant Decision.
WHAT THE COUNSEL FOR THE NORTHERN PA.
CIFIC RAILROAD SAYS OF IT.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Col. George GRAY gene
raj counsel for the Northern Pacific railroad
company, when asked this morning about the
recent decision of the United States Supreme
Court in regard to the taxes OF the company,
said: 1.-THE suit Of the Northern Pacific road
against Irven L. Rockne, county treasurer of
Trail county, Dakota territory, which has Just
been decided, is In no respect different from
the two cases decided by the same tribunal In
which the Union Pacific road was party The
hrst of these decisions was in the December
term of 1872, and the other was rendered In
the October term OF 1874. Rackne. as county
treasurer, wanted to collect taxes on
the Northern Pacific land in his
bailiwick, and the suit was brought
to restrain him from SO doing. In none Of the
cases mentioned was the title OF the railroad
companies involved, but inasmuch as Congress
had pronounced that the patent to the lands
should not obtain until they had been sur
veyed and conveyed by the railroad companies
or other parties interested, the Supreme
Court held In all cases that that retention of
patent was q security for the payment OF cost
and that the United States having a legal title
and that much Of interest In the lands, no state
or territorial authorities can tax the lands, The
title to no acre Of land in Dakota Territory held
by the Northern Pacific Co., or sold BY IT, Is In
any manner whatever affected by this decision
The company has always been willing TO pay
but the want OF surveys and the general inac-
tivtty Of the officials In the land office have pre-
vented payments being made"
