What the Irish Tories Think.

LONDON, December 24.-The Times,
commenting on the reported reason for
Lord Randolph Churchill's resignation,
viz: that he was opposed to the increase of
the military and naval estimates, says the
estimates are not extraordinary and only
provide for moderate strengthening of the
naval and military condition of the En-
pire, rendered necessary by the outlook of
foreign affairs. The conservatives IN Ire
land look upon the resignation as a serious
blow to the Ministry, while the National
lists think it will prove fatal to the present
government.
1t is announced this evening that Lord
Harrington will arrive in London on Mon
day.

Six Witnesses Enough.

MILWAUKEE, December 24.-The trial

until Monday morning at ll:30 o'clock.
Mayor Walber was on the stand this morn

nations which he issued on May and 5.
Judge Sloan when be adjourned the court
told the attorneys for the defense that he
would only allow them TO call six wit
nesses to prove that there was no riot at
Bayview. The lawyers attempted to dis
cuss the matter, hut Judge Sloan stated
that he considered six witnesses enough.
so far as he was concerned, he said, a
thousand witnesses could not make him
believe that there was no riot at Bayview.
He added, incidentally, that he deemed

That ENcites Clarksburg-Jack Smith
Puts Ball Into James Wines.
SpeciG! Bisyrum 10 tIe Register.
CLARKSBURG, December 2i.-This after
noon, near the intersection OF Third street
with Main, in this city, Jack Smith got
into an alteration with James Wines. Ii
seems that Smith became very abusive, so
much So that Wines struck him, knocking
him down, or somewhat staggering him,
and when about to strike again, Smith
presented thirty-two caliber revolver
discharging it, the bullet taking effect in
the body OF Wines, near the pit OF the
stomach, and then is supposed to have
moved in a circuitOus route, lodging per-
hape, in the right side. Wines was taken
to the Office of DIR. ID. Porter
Morgan, where he received skillful medical
attendance and afterwards was removed tO
his home. He is resting easily, however.
The exact nature of the wound has not
been thoroughly ascertaiued. 1t is gener-
ally believed that recovery will be speedy.
A warrant was issued upon Deputy Sheriff
Rogers complaint and affidavit. Both
Mayer Thompson and Prosecuting AttOr-
ney Lynch acted in concert, doing all that
could be done for the arrest of
Smith. The former and Sergeant Smith
by telephone and telegraph took
the necessary pTecautiOn of communicating
with other officers of other cities. The
warrant was issued by Squire Rapp, and
placed in the hands of Constable Rollins,
| who failed to find Smith. 1t is rumOIed
that Smith in escaping was seen with GER
tain person of ClarkSburg near the Patton
mines, who accompanied him on horse.
The officers are vigilant and have done
everything to secure Smith apprehension.
This afternoon the Mayor swore in several

The Correct Way OF Looking at II.


Yesterday evenings Pittsburg Leader
had the following
Captain Robert McEldowney, Of the
Wetzel, West Virginia, Democrat, is in
the city spending the holidays. Speaking
of the Senatorial trouble that the Republi-
cans and some Democrats are making for
Senator J. y. Camden in the matter Of his
reelection To the United States Senate
next month, Captain McEldowney said this
morning The reelection Of Mr.. Camden
is certain. Some of the alleged reformers in
the party, like "Buttermilk jim" Mason,
Of Harper's Ferry, are raising the Stand
ard Oil'' company cry, but the people and
members Of the Legislature have been
nauseated by that same plant years ago.
Camden has done more 20 advance West
Virginia than any man who has ever been
in the State. There may be some little
trouble at the start, but it won't amount
to anything"

Masked Murderers.

NEW ORLEANS, December %. - 4
special from Kosciusko, Miss, says: At
midnight Wednesday night four or five
armed masked men went to the house
of Jordan league, eolOred man, living
ON DR.. Todd's place, about four miles be-
low town, and demanded an entrance,
claiming to have a-search warrant. A son
of Jordan opened the door, and, on dis
covering the men, made a quick exit
through the back window, the masked
men firing at him. They then killed
Jordan and shot his wife several times, it
is believed fatally. She was shot through
the tongue and cannot speak, but signified
that she knew who shot her. There are
different opinions as to the cause Of the
crime and who the parties are. The COM
munity is highly insensed at the outrage
and the case will be thoroughly investi-
gated.

POWDERLY OR PARSONS?
The Question to be Decided by the Chicago
K.ofK. Assemblies.

K.OfK. Assemblies.
CHICAGO, December pa large num-
Der of assemblies of the Knights of Labor
hold their weekly meetings tonight, and
in more than one important action is likely
to be taken regarding Grand Master Pow
derly's secret circular scoring the assem-
blies which have expressed sympathy with
the Anarchists, and ordereing return of
the moneys voted from their treasures for
the defense fund. The circular has been
the one absorbing topic OF discussion in
labor circles since Wednesday, and to say
that the Knights against whom tits direct
ed are boiling mad is to putitmildly. Grand
Master Powderly has been denounced in
the most outspoken manner, and quite a
number of members Of the order, includ-
ing such we'll known agitators as George
Schilling, declare that they will suffer ex-
pulsion from the order before they will re-
verse their action in sympathizing with
Anarchist Parsons. They moreover de-
clare their intention of making the issue a
national one 80 far as the organization is
concerned, and it is in contemPlstiea to
nave ntnOSrapneu anu CuCuldteu III every
Assembly, east and west, copies of the Off
cial card given to A. r. Parsons by Cen
eral Worthy Foreman and Organizer Rich
ard Griffiths, of the Executive Board,
recommending Parsons to all Knights Of
Labor throughout the Union.
An influential and popular member of
the Knights summed up the matter in
this wise this morning: "Here is the issue
in nutshell ~ member of our order
who has been active in its interest here
and elsewhere, is under sentence of death
for what we consider political crime
We hold that els innocent, and hence un-
Justly convicted. We adopt resolutions of
sympathy and assist financially in his de-
fense. In doing so we conform simply to
that portion of our constitution which
binds us for self protection. Now Pow

worked hard for our cause, you haye no.

cannot soil our hands with Anarchy To

hangs over these men we are going to fight
individually and with all the force of the
organization we can control DO your
