HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

SHIPwRECK ON LAKE HURON.
CATTLE MEN DISCERNING THE PRESIDENT
GLADSTONE's LAST TASK.


Hopes tn Pass with Paruell's Help.
Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Dec. 12-One OF the most striking
features of the new parliament will be the COM
position of the Parnelliie party. About many
of them Parnell himself may know something.
but his head lieutenant can give me no item of
information. Nobody else ever heard OF them.
Twenty ofthese new men show the following oc-
equations: Draper, hotel keeper, small farmers,
carpenters, nursery man, working tailor, tavern
keeper, blacksmith, srocer's assistant, grocer,
custom house officer, schoolmaster. general
dealer. matchmaker, private secretary to Par
nell, proprietor dancing saloon, and his mana
ger and reporter on the Dublin Nation news
paper. Doubtless the cause OF their appear
ance as candidates is their absolute fidelity
to Parnell, having everything to gain.
Reviewing his phalanx, Parnell must say, as
Touchstone Of Audrey, " Ill-favored things but
mine own"
Oh course, the Irish question is monopolizing
all attention. On this subject 1 am able To
state positively that Gladstone has a carefully
prepared scheme of home rule in which he feels
the keenest interest, and is working upon il at
Hawarden all the time. The details have been
kept a profound secret from every member of
the party except Lords Granville, Spencer and
Roseberry. All of these recently visited him IN
turn al Hawarden. 1t Is said to be the dream
OF his life to pass this measure entire. Ger
tainfy nobody else can. Any scheme OF home
rule for Ireland. he calculates would cost him
twenty-five votes, but if the Irish support him
that will not matter. 1t must be a serious
question how far the Irish parliamentarians
really want home rule II is difficaIt to believe
that men like Parnell, Justin Mccarthy, Arthur
OConnor aud I. u. OConnor will consent to
give up living in London under any circum-
stances.
I understand the tories are counting upon
getting credit for two matters: First, for their
the proposals they will introduce for a large in
crease OF expenditure on the navy.

NO CHRISTMAS MONEY.
Department Clerks to be Paid on the
Usual Pay Days this Month.

The department employees, as a rule, expect
to get their months salary in time for the
proper observance of Christmas, but the dis
bursting clerks OF the departments have con-
suited together this year, and decided not to
pay off the day before Christmas. There will be
the usual halfmonth pay day next week, and
then there will be no further payment Of sala-
ries until the end of the month. The reason Is
that If the employees were paid off for Christ
mas the balance Of the months salary due
would have to be paid on Wednesday or Thurs
pay for seven or eight days. II any az the
clerks should happen to die, or any other con-
t1ngency should arise that should make the
money not due them, the disbursing clerks
would be held responsible and would have 10
reimburse the Treasury.
The fisk Is too great remarked one of the
disbursng clerks to Il STAR reporter. "The law
does not authorize us to pay out salaries before
they are earned, and even in the case of an
emplOye being granted leave of absence we
have no right to pay the salary for that time
until the time has passed and the money is due
W have swO pay days Il month, and the en-
ployes ought to be able 10 supply themselves
out depending on being paid off the day before
Nv hat proportion OF clerks get their pay
twice month";" asked the reporter, with some
"About two-thirds, should say" was the
reply. You must not infer that that proport ion
OF the clerks live from hand to mouth, or rather
IRON one pay day TO another, but the large pro-
portion make better use Of their money than to
allow 1T to lie idle for a whole month in the
Treasury. They don't spend it. but invest it.
and many of them are very keen about money
matters, and make good use of their money"

closed his argument about 1O:4O o'clock.
THE JUDGES CHARGE.
Judge Macarthur char ed the jury at some
length. Alter discussing the rules of circum-
stantial testimony, he said that they could apply
them to the case. These circumstances must be
proved by direct testimony. The testimony
was that q razor was found, and it is sought TO
show that 1t was Nardello's razor. On the bare
circumstance that Nardello had money after
the homicide 1t would not do to say that he had
RotunnOs money; but this may be strength.

the murder, and Rotunno had money; that he

That he Was satisfied that the statement made

II was the peculiar circumstances under which
this was made that induced him to Take this
