LONDON, February ls.--The leading

at the Carleton Club, at noon to-day. to
confer upon the course the party shall
pursue in regard to Irish affairs on the
reassembling of Parliament. Salisbury
presided. Lord Randolph Churchill and
one hundred and fifty other prominent
Tories were present. The meeting was
very enthusiastic. The plan of the
Conservatives is to offer the most strenu-
Gus opposition to any measure presented
by the Liberals conceding Home Rule in
Ireland. The meeting resolved to make

support the Parnellites in their demand

The new York stock Market.
NEW YoRK, February is. -Government
bonds dull and steady.
Stocks showed decided weakness at
opening, with declines Of ] 10 over per
cent, owing to trouble among the Trans
Continental Association lines. Early
trading was accompanied by further
decline OF fractional amounts except in
Pacific Mail, but this was soon checked
and business which had been decidedly
active became more quiet, with prices
steady to firm. a condition which con-
tinued until nearly o'clock. A heavy
tone prevailed later until during the last
hour, when some weakness was devel-
oped, In which coal stocks were most
prominent. The drop in Lackawanna
amounted to 2 per cent, and all active
stocks yielded more or less, though the
declines in most cases were only frac-
tionnl. There was q reactiod in some
cases in final dealings, and the market
closed irregular but decidedly feverish
for most Of the active stocks. The an
nouncement of the practical dissolution
Of the Transcontinental Association was
followed in the afternoon by another
statement that the subsidy which has
been paid to the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company by the Pacific Railroads was to
terminate at the end of ten days, and
that official action had been taken. In
fact the news in Pacific Mail conferred 10

Conviction OF Mormon Poiyga-
uunISag.

mtsts.
II must strike all decent people
pleasantly to see how rapidly, and
with what remarkable regularity, the
Mormon beasts, attempting to mas
querade as saints, are being con-
victed and sent to the penitentiary.
The Mormon religion is no religion,
hut only organized crime attempting
to get rid Of its infamy and proper
punishment by giving itself the name
OF religion. Murder and stealing
would still be the same, and would
still be criminal, though called wor-
ship, and would deserve punishment
Just the same. II was very shrewd
device the Mormons adopted to go
into the wilderness and practice
bigamy and unrestrained lust under
the guise Of religion. They imagined
they would escape from punishment
or molestation by their isolation,
and by giving their practices sacred
name. But they misconstrued the
Constitutional provision. That in
strument, while allowing liberty oil
conscience and freedom of worship,
does not sanction crime, and the
Mormons are beginning to learn
this fact. II convictions continue
to be had in the polygamy
cases with the same degree of regular
ity as is now the case, the "Mormon
question" will soon be settled. There
never was time since these prosecu-
tions began, when they were carried
on so vigorously, or where convic-
tions so inevitably resulted. In fact,
nearly every trial ends with convic-
zion. II is to be hoped that no relax
