Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.l
RALEIGH, N. c., January S.-To-
day the General Assembly completed
it's organization by electing the remain
ing officers. Nearly every member is
now here. and the work is already pro
ceeding smoothly and tremendously.
Governor Jarvis's message was read in
both houses at noon, and attracts atten-
ton as an able document. The Gov
ernor finds cause for special satisfaction
in the condition Of the finances Of the
State. He recommends an increase Of
the number of judges TO relieve the
clogged business of the courts. He re-
CARDS this as an imperative necessity to
relieve a great and growing evil. He
highly compliments the good work done
by the Department Of Agriculture. He
recommends the erection Of a perma-
nent and commodious museum in which
to display the vast and varied collection
now belonging to the State. He bears
cheerful testimony to the fact that the
colored people of the State have been,
with rare exceptions, orderly, law
abiding citizens, and notes many marked
signs of improvement in their condition.
lie recommends an increase of salaries,
so that the Governor, shall receive
$4,000. the Chief-Justice $4,000. Asso-
ciate Justices $500, and Superior
Court Judges. Secretary of State. Audi
tor. Treasurer. Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction, and Attorney-General

FREDERICKSBURG. TEXAS, Janu-
airy S.-The county Jail was discovered

fined within the burning building. Be

PARNELL'S ACHIEVEMENT.

American "Boss."

[By cable to the Dspatch.l
LONDON. January S.-The Times
says, oprop6s of Parnell's achieve
ment at Thurles yesterday in forcing
Organ to Withdraw from the parlia-
mentary contest to make room for his
candidate: ''Parnell has accomplished
feat which will excite the envy Of the
most skilful political organizers. He
has quelled. without trouble, what
seemed to be an incipient revolt against
his authority. He is most cOnspicu-
Gus and shining example of the boss
on this side of the Atlantic. No candi-
date in the future will care to place him
self in the position of the unfortunate
Organ. who was compelled to submit
to being coldly praised by Parnell for
Kidding himself from feelings of false
pride. Parncll has taken an accurate
measure of the people he rules. He
scarcely conceals the iron hand within
the velvet glove. 1t is presumptuous to
speculate on the limits Of his power over
the Irish people"
DUBLIN. January S.-The United
Ireland to-day says: The result of the
convention at Thurles yesterday is a
dcath-blow to the cowardly Organ,
who has rcckoned upon Tipperary as
an ally.
The Freeman'S Journal says: There
is no installing the spirit of the brave
men in gallant Tipperary. Parnell and
Archbishop Crokc desired an example
of discipline to be shown on the mo-
mentous occasion. This example will
be initiated throughout Ireland here
after.

4 Bangor (Mc.) special says: The
zee business of Bangor has received a
severe and entirely unexpected
blow. In the storehousc of Henry
Mclaughlin, where the fire oc-
CURED on Saturday night. were
stored .. 200 barrels of kerosene oil. A
large part of this oil ran into the river,
and a thorough examination to-day
shows that it has entirely spoiled the
splendid field of ice. Even a mile
below the place where it entered the
river the ice has been rendered unfit for
use. The oil has beeen carried by the
tide to the upper fields. and the ice
there has been imprcgnated with kero-
sene. About the wharf where the oil
was stored there are barrels of oil, aud
on Sunday and to-day hundreds of people
have been busy dipping it up.
DYNAMITE TO BE USED.
ID is thought that the ice can be
started out of The river by means of
dynamite. and that a new crop can be
formed. If it is not possible to do this,
it will be severe blow to the gentle
men interested in the ice business, as
well as to many laboring people. Ii is
estimated that in cutting and shipping
the ice $4,000 would be paid to the
laboring-men. 1t would also be unfor-
tunate. as the lee business here is just
being established on permanent basis,
and many dealers were looking to the
Pcnobscot for their annual supply.

BY telegram to the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON. January 8.-Thc

before 3 o'clock this afternoon upon the
motion of the chairman of the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations for the pur-
pose of considering the Nicaraguan
treaty and the committees recon-
mendation that il he ratified. The treaty
was. however. not reached. The first
measure on the executive calendar was
Senator COnger's resolution, which had
been reported adversely by the COM
mittee. to make public the text OF the
Nicaraguan treaty. and the Senate,
after two and half hours dis
cusSion, decided. by vote of 40
to -, not to make the text of
the tire ty public in advance Of
the action of the Senate. Something
was said in respect to debating treaties
with open doors. although that PROPOSE
ton was not directly involved iii the
pending resolution. and the inconveni-
cnce and annoyance which might result
should the opinions of senator's become
known in advance was dwelt upon.
Agents of foreign governments, it was
urged. might seek to influence senators
through their constituents. Nothing oc-
CURED to indicate what action the SEN
ate will take in relation to the treaty.
The discussion to-day did not involve
the question of considering purely com
mercial treaties with open doors.

Them fsem smtsan feyrssssy.


4 Caldwell (Kan.) telegram says:
Two troops Of cavalry arrived to-day
from Fort Hayes. Captain Duncan in
command. The troops will leave here
Thursday for the Boomer camp. on Still
water, Indian Territory. where Captain
Crouch's colony of 800 is located.
This section viii be joined by the
three troops from Fort Sill and two
from Reno. General Hatch, commander
of the regiment, was seen at his head
quarters to-day. and gave the following
particulars lie will have two Hotch-
kiss guns and skilled men to work them
with him. Does not intend to lose
man in the short-rangc fight. but will
retire and open on the Boomer camp
with these long-rangc guns. He does
not desire a fight, but his orders are
iron-elad and will be executed to the
letter. He hopes the colonists will not
resist when called on to surrender. but
if they will not leave pcaceably there
will be trouble.
A coLoNIsT's STORY.
A eolonst direct from Crouch's camp
arrived yesterday. He states that they
obey Captain Croueh's orders implicit
ly. and will resist the soldiers when nc
gives the word. They are all well
armed and prepared for fight. and will
not be removed except by superior num-
bers and force. They denounce Prcsi-
dent Arthur. Congress. cattle-men. and
the War Department in unmeasurcd
terms. They claim they would have
cleaned Lieutenant Days company out
if they had opened fire on them. There
was no collision between Days men and
the Boomers, as was reported. lie or
dcred them to surrender. They re-
fused, armed themselves. took refuge
behind their breaStworks. and waited
his executing order TO fire in five min
utes. His Instructions did not cover
that emergency, and he retired, but
went into camp near by. Thus matters
rest. The weather Is so severe that
soldiers cannot move on. nor can the
Boomers move out. They threaten, il
removed. to burn every ranch out on
the Oklahoma and Cherokee strip.
