The Situation Grows More Complicated

GLADSlONE AND PARSEIL OPPOSING THE PLAN OF
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AND THE GOVERNMENT.
An Interchange OF views between Mr. Gladstone
and his colleagues OF the last liberal cabinet on
the attitude to be adopted by the liberal party at
the opening OF parliament has resulted I'm an
agreement to support the government In all legal
efforts to suppress the anti-rent campaign but to
urge the immediate enforcement OF some form OF
Mr. Parnell's bill for the suspension OF ev1ctions.
The anti-rent leaders have been warned that there
is no chance that the cooperation or Mr.. Glad
stone Will continue unless they submit to Mr..
Parneli who, DESTROYS OF a common policy with
Gladstone, is suspected OF aiming to suppress the
plan OF campaign Notwithstanding Mr.. Parnells
displeasure. Messrs. Dillon, O'Brien and Healy
continue their anti-rent tactics. Mr.. Parnell is
convinced that the position OF the Irish tenants
worse now than when he introduced his anti
eviction bill. That the plan OF campaign has, as
asserted, procured ATTACHMENTS In rents where
erything else had failed he regards as improba-
BILE. The present situation, says Mr.. Parnen,
points strongly to the probability OF the govern
ment being obliged to introduce bill reducing
rents to the standard fixed by the recent decisions
OF the land commission, also admitting lease
holders Mr.. Parnell Will lead q strong attack
upon the whole policy OF the government towards
Ireland at the opening OF the coming session OF
parliament.
The Irish Nation advises tenants If the plan OF
campaign should fafl, to keep their rent money
themselves.

DETAILS OF THE RUMoRED SOUTH PRNNsYLrAuuA
LINE PROP0SAI


A special TO the Baltimore american, from Phil
adelphia, December 22d, says: There Is undoubfed
authority for the statement that President Gar.
rett, OF the Baltimore Ohio, and the new man.
agement OF the Reading railroad have offered TO
take a large pecuniary interest In the completion
OF the South Pennsylvania railroad. Instead OF
carrying out the original intention, and connect
ing with the P1ttsburg, Mckeesport Youghio-
gheny railroad, which is the Vanderbilt line, IL
will connect with the Baltimore a Ohio at a point
near Somerset, and save the latter a distance OF
nearly one hundred miles In the route between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia IL Is stated further
that the Pennsylvania would rather have the
South Pennsylvania completed by a rival line than
to have them build any OF the new lines contepl.
plated TO Pittsburg, IL is moi 80 much Of a par
allel line any OF the Others would be, and would
undoubtedly give the Pennsylvania considerable
business AT Harrisburg. BY stopping the line at
Somerset, IL is estna ed that nearly million
dollars will be saved in the construction work.
The idleness OF the work. IL is estimated, has IN
fiicted damage OF 100000. Mr.. Alfred Tully
represented the new Reading interests at the
meeting in New York, and ex-President Gowen
represented the minority Interest. The feeling
here is that the Pennsylvania viii abandon con-
test for the line.

CHRISTMAS Is Coarse.

The number Of ladies who have thronged our
house during the past week and availed them
selves Of our timely and sessonsble reduction Of
TEN PER CENT on all purchases of boys and
children's clothing. attest strongly the popu-
larity Of our methods. They were loud in their
admiration of the beautiful styles and odd con-
ceits to be found in our matchless stock. The
pleasure we derived from the happiness to which
we contributed, and which they took pains to
show, amply recompenses us for the loss We sus-
tain financially, through our great reduction of
TEN PER CENT from marked prices ON all
boys and children's clothing.
In our mems department our strong point il
our Superb Stock Of Overcoats. We have only
space enough left to refer to two kinds in four
colors. One is . West of England Kersey in
brown and blue: both warranted fast; lined
throughout with the finest satin; reduced from
$50 to S23. The other is . Chinchilla beaver
in gray and brown, also satin lined, both simply
elegant; reduced from $50 to $40. If you need
