BRITISH POLITICS.

The Parnellites Resolve to Continue the
Struggle for Home Rule.
LONDON, Jan. 1L-Sixty out of the eighty-six
Parnellitte members of Parliament attended
the meeting at Dublin, to day, of the Nationalist
party in Parliament, called for the purpose of
holding a conference on the political situation,
and to draft line Of action to be adopted at the
forthcoming session OF Parliament. Reporters
were not admitted, and therefore no details of
the meeting can be given. Mr.. Parnell was not
present; he having left London last evening for
the purpose of attending the conference he left
the train at Crewe to partake of refreshments
and when he returned to the platform he found
the train had left. He again started for Dublin
this morning, and arrived at Chester at the
same time as did Mr. Gladstone, who was on his
way to London. MIR. Gladstone and Mr. Parnell
were on the same platform for few minutes
before the starting Of their respective trains but
neither of the leaders spoke to the other.
The conference resolved to continue with an
unalterable determination their struggle to Sc
cure the rights Of Ireland. The consideration of
the leading questions regarding Irish affairs was
postponed until the arrival of Mr.. ParnelL
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, in a speech at
meeting of the Land Allotment Association to-
day. said 1.-THE new Parliament, in my opinion,
will not last long. The Liberals must fulfill
their pledges given the laborers to facilitate the
acquisition of land by all those desiring to pro-
cure it. Previous legislation regarding the
matter has failed to meet the wants of the labor
ing class, because the measures adonted were
not made compulsory. The community must
enable laborers to acquire land at fair price,
and prevent land owners from black mailing the
public by enforcing payment of rack rents"
The government does not intend to prevent
Mr.. Charles Bradlaugh from sitting in the House
of Commons as member from Northampton.

RELIGIOUS IDIOTS.
The Fasting Methodists at Palmyra Have
Concluded to Eat and Live.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 1.-THE religious ex-
element at Palmyra, Wis, is slowly subsiding
The little Methodist Church is still crowded at
every service. but the score of people who have
been fasting for some time past are gradually
resuming their natural method of sustenance.
Thomas Green, who is said to have gone without
food for twenty days, broke his long fast yester-
day, and is now giving full sway to his appetite
1t was just at dusk last evening when a reporter
alighted from q buggy in front of the small
weather beaten house in which the jefferson
county rival of Dr. Tanner resides Green was
Green said: II felt the need of the Spirit
In our midst. We were holding pro-
tracted meetings in our church, and were
praying for the gift Of the Holy Spirit, but it
didn't come. Well, l was bound we should have
it. Without it our prayers were doing us no
good. Then the voice of the Lord warned me to
perform an act of self-deniaL and was willing
70 obey So made up my mind to fast, and
for twenty days not the slightest morsel of food
did eat At the end of the twentieth day the
voice of the Lord came to me again and bid me
to eat. I realized the Holy Spirit wing my
hea-t and thrilling my soul with the music of
Zion"
Mr.. Green said he felt weakness in his phys
ical frame. but when he needed strength the
Lord aided him. There was nothing in his ap-
pearance to indicate that he had been starving
himself He said his arms and face had bloated
little after his fast was over and close observa-
tion showed swelling under each eye, but that
was all. He admitted that there was no earthly
witness to his self-denial but reiterated solemn
ly that his statement was true. He did not stay
a5 home much, but was in the church night and
day, wrestling with the spirit 'It is only my
have told you is true" said Mr.. Green, very
earnestly.

the tastes of the Czar are of the simplest. and
none OF the appendages of royalty are necessary
to satisfy them. The favorite recreation of the

Full particulars of the evictions on the estate
of Lord Kenmare, who was Lord Chamberlain
under Mr.. Gladstone, and at whose seat the
Prince of Wales stayed last summer, have
reached here. In consequence of the badness of
the times, the tenants found it impossible to pay
the rents of their holdings Several months
ago they demanded reduction CT 80 per cent,
which was refused. and in consequence the ten
ants paid no rents. Yesterday large force of
military and constabulary, under the command
of the resident magistrate of the Killarney dis
trict, proceeded to Fanafors to enable the sub
sheriff to carry out the evictions. The sheriff
had refused to carry out the proceedings unless
he was Afforded an extraordinary force for his
protection. Accordingly the police, with hum
red light infantry, all fully armed, accompanied
him. The whole cavalcade marched to the resi-
dence Of tenant, William DAILY, of Dromrage,
and attracted great attention as they went along.
The morning was bitterly cold. The ground
was frozen hard and covered with white frost,
while in the distance the lofty. snow-clad
mountains completed the wintry aspect of the
scene.
Notwithstanding the early hour the police and
military had not set out far from the railway
station when the people began to assemble in
large numbers. Men, women and children hur-
ried from far and near across the ice bound
fields, so that the formidable force escorting the
sub-sheriff was soon followed by great crowd,
headed by women and girls. The crowd amused
themselves with hootng at the police aud SOL
