A New Order with the New Year.

REPORTS FROM THE SUBSIDIZED RAILROADS
It is probable that at the beginning of the
year rules will be issued by the Secretary of the
Interior, which will require from the subsidized
railroads more complete and frequent reports
of the condition and resources of the roads than
have hitherto been made. The ground is now
taken by Assistant Secretary jerks that the
government has a right to any information in
regard to the affairs of the roads that il may
call for, and the object of these reports will be
to put into the possession of the government
such information. As 1t is now, the few reports
knows nothing OF the resources of the roads, the
methods OF expenditure, etc,

Parnell's Fight i'm Ireland.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, october 17.-Much interest has been
excited by the establishment in Ireland of a
loyal league to resist buycotting and contest
every seat in Ireland. OF course the latter is q
hopeless task in most cases. but II makes the
Irish leaders spend money. and thus weakens
them in other matters. As q specimen of Par
nellite despotism, O. Brien, one OF the most un.
comfortable members of the party, said i'm Cork
the other day: II had hoped to ask you to keep
a corner in Cork for me, but have got my
marching orders elsewhere. Where ii is I do
not know. but our leader has issued his word

RIEL'S FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Probability that the Precedent Of the
O'COuuOr Case Will Prevail.

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
LONDON, October 1.-THE case of Riel attracts
little attention here. As the lord chancellor is
out of town, it is difficult to get any hint of its
probable outcome. He will return Tuesday,
when there may be news. He will preside We'd
nesday over the privy council. Mr.. Fitzpatrick,
Canadian counsel for Riel, arrived yesterday.
If Rel is respited, it will be till January. In
legal circles the feeling is that while the privy
council fully recognizes the exceptional charac-
ter of the case, il is quite possible that they may
act in accordance with the view expressed in
OConnor's case in July last, when the principal
was laid down that no criminal appeal will be
allowed unless exceptional reasons for impugn-
ing the judgment have previously been de-
livered.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, October 17.-Burmah Is O complete
mystery. have been daily in communication
with the India office, and have been assured
that no further news from India has been re-
ceived. The annexation is certainly determined
upon by the British authorities, who are now
engaged in smoothing their way. In the pres
ent condition Of trade anything promising a
great extension of enterprise and markets is
sure to be popular. The people forget the results
of opening up trade by the sword once before.
Two great grounds Of danger in the proposed
present themselves. The first is
that the five hundred miles of the cotermini-
Gus frontier with China is full Of diplomatic
dangers. 1t would seem as If IL would open the
fioodgate of Chinese immIgration into Burmah,
and therefore into India. Also, doubt Is
growing whether "a handful of men and a
couple of gunboats' will be OF any use. The
Spectator pronounces against annexation, and
the Standard and Saturday Reuieto urge IL. Brit
fish ultimatum will now be sent to the Burmese.
Its scOrnfui refusal Is probable, and therefore
an expedition is at hand.
