PARNELL'S POLICY.

The Nationalist Convention met at Wick
low with full attendance. Parnell, the
Irish leader, delivered the opening address.
He urged those present to bury all differ
ences, thereby promoting unity and good
feeling, without which, he asserted, success
could not be hoped for. In the selection
of candid ates, he cautioned his hearers
against allowing their personal feelings to
get the upper-hand of the wisdom and fore
sight which they should exercise in making
nominations. He advocated self-sacrifice,
rather than have the success of the party
jeopardized. Mr.. Parnell then launched
forth into a stirring eulogy of the Irish
people, and reviewed at some length efforts
that had been put forth to ameliorate the
condition of the Irish farmers and laborers
by the Nationalist party. SO Wicklow s
splendid harbor," said he, testified to the
high class of work Irishmen were capable
of, but it could not compare with the work
Irishmen could and would do when the
tyrannical laws by which the English ruled
them We're driven from the country, and
Irishmen were unfettered from the slavery
which now held them down."
John Dillon, presiding at a meeting of the
National League at Dublin, warned tenants
who contemplated the immediate purchase
of land not to pay more than the amount of
ten years. rental of the same. The people
must either pay or fight for the land, and
the price he indicated was, in his opinion,
a fair compensation to the andlord.

The Alaska Fur Company has received
information of the loss also Of the whaling
ships Gazelle, Reindeer and Napoleon.
There is but little news from the feet,
though it is known that the Josephine,
tIidalgo and Helen Mar, are fast in the ice
near the place of the wreck of the Mabel

One of the fleet succeeded in recovering
the oil from the wrecked ships. All of the
ice-bound ships will become free when the

THE SAMOAN ISLANDS.
How Germany's Recent Attempt to
Annex Them was Prevented.

DIR. Theodore Canasius of Illinois, after
having spent twenty years in the Consular
service of the American Government, the
last three at Samoa, has returned broken in
health. He brings letter from the King
of Samoa and some gifts. DIR. Canasius
was an eyewitness of the recent attempt of
the German Government to obtain pos
session of the Samoan islands, and q letter
from the present King Malietoa is protest
to the United States against those who
seek to annex his Kingdom. King Malie-
toa now has about 40, 900 subjects DIR.
Canasius and the British Consul, when a
German warship arrived at Samoa, erected
fort and planted German flag there,
made very energetic protest that Germany
should not seize the group of islands,
and undoubtedly it was in a great measure
due to the vigorous protest of these two
Consuls that the German expedition stop
ped where it did.

ID
of the Porte.
The warlike attitude of Servia has COM
PEELED the Porte to call out more reserves
for service on the frontiers. The Turkish
Ministry believes that the Servian troops
will cross the frontier, although C, rtain of
defeat, in order to raise the question of
Servia's rights The Porte has represented
to the foreign ambassadors that a. Servian
revolution would lead to agitations in Mon
tenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that
Austria and Russia would eventually be
drawn into the conflict.
The Bulgarian delegates, Petroff and
Tchanok0ff, who were commissioned by
Prince Alexander to assure the Porte that
peace and order reigned in Eastern Roume-
liza, arrived at Yeldiz Kiosk and solicited
an interview with the Sultan. They were
Immediately arrested and were subjected to
an official examination. The affair has
caused a sensation.
NJ. Neildoff, the Russian ambassador,
has raised a difficulty. He desires that the
article in the Berlin treaty giving Turkey
the right. to send troops to Eastern Roume-
liza be abolished in the event of the union
of the two Bulgarias.
The Porte is negotiating for loan from
the Ottoman Bank. The bank asks from
the Porte, as partial guaranty for the de-
sired loan. q concession for a railway in
Asia Minor.
1t is reported that the Gear replied to the
Bulgarian deputation that Russia's feeling
toward Bulgaria had not changed; that
Russia assented to the union, but objected
to the method by which it was intended to
protect Bulgaria from the dangers besetting
her.
King Milan, at meeting of the Chamber
of Deputies, declared that in the event of
the union between Bulgaria and Roumelia
being recognized by the Powers, Servia
would fight unless her demands for an ex-
tension of territory were granted.
Prince Alexander has received telegram
from the Sultan accepting the principle OF
the Bulgarian Union.

Rosenthal and Chief of Police Cleary held
many secret conferences and examined q
number of girls ranging from II to IS. One
girl named Mulvey has BEEN in the de-
techves private Office since p. NJ, and no
one is allowed to see her. The secrecy of
the whole proceedings has been such that

Ferry the first thing. The Republican
newspapers generally are disposed to make
a scapegoat of Ferry.
1t is expected that provisional Ministry
will be formed, including Clemenceau and
Floquette.
1t is rumored that the royalist success
will insure the expulsion of the Orleanist
princes and others.

The Danish Diet.
The Danish Diet has opened, and it is
probable that the session will be the most
stormy Denmark has ever witnessed. The
contending parties strained to the ut
most, and some violent scenes are antici-
pated, as an attempt will be made to force
the King to comply with the vote of the Diet
at the previous session to dismiss his obnOx-
ious ministers. His Majesty also will prob
ably be the subject of serious discussion for
having levied taxes by royal decree when
the Diet had refused to vote the budget, and
saying that he was determined to continue
to do so until all the representatives of the
people returned to the sense of what he
conceived to be their duty.
The Afghan Affair.
1t is stated in official circles that there is
no truth in the report that the English had
taken entire possession of Herat and order
ed the inhabitants to quit. The only basis
for such a statement is that a number OF
English officers, in compliance with the
request of the Ameer, are assisting the
Afghans to strengthen the defenses at
Herat.
