AN IRISH PARLIAMENT.

AN IMMENSE TUNNELING SoHEME.-Col-
onel Curtis, now in charge of the Iowa
mine, has prepared large map of the line
of the proposed tunnel twelve miles in
length, to be run in Nevada county by a
syndicate of California capitalists for the
purpose of draining the Providence, Ural,
Wyoming and the entire group of mines
in Nevada City and Grass Valley. The
tunnel will be started on level with the
shore Of the South Yuba river, and will be
driven along contact lode ranging from 100
to 400 feet wide to tap the mines at Nevada
City, 1 200 feet below the surface in verti-
cal line. The sum of 81 100000 has already
been subscribed toward the enterprise.
Colonel Curtis estimates that the ore taken
out in excavating will defray the cost of
driving the tunnel. The owners of mines
in Nevada City agree to pay royalty of
one-fifth of their bullion product 10 the
projectors of the tunnel, to compensate
them for draining their property. The
water power of the Yuba river will be util-
lied for driving air compressors. Burieigh
drills and propelling cars in removing
waste and ore extracted in driving. Air
shafts, ten inches in diameter will be bored
at intervals along the line of the tunnel

SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY.

At the Bay District Track on Christmas
Day, Endymion beat Daisy S. in a trot.
Time, 2:294, 2:2S, 2:25!.
The free-for-all trot at the Bay District
track, on Saturday, in which Guy Wilkes,
J. Q. and Charlie Hilton contested. was
won by the former in 2:19!, 2:194, 2:19. J.
Q. won the first heat in 2:l9.
The full complement of cars were run
ming on regular time on Saturday, on both
the Suffer street and Geary-street roads
All was quiet and the cars carried a large
number of passengers. Two police officers
accompanied each train.
Mrs. Bridget Alsop, the mother of five
grown children, was seriously stabbed in a
room at 1921 Leavenworth street by Louis
Lillwall, carpenter, on Saturday. Both
the injured woman and her assailant were
intoxicated at the time.
The papers of Alameda and Berkeley
oppose consolidation with Oakland and a
division of the county. Many citizens of
these places, however, are in favor of the
project, and a conference of leading citi-
zens upon the matter has been suggested.
There came near being another murder
to record yesterday. At an early hour in
the morning George Brown, a bartender for
Mrs. Street, who keeps the Sacramento
Hotel, at 400 Pacific street, was brought
into the receiving hospital suffering from
three knife wounds in the region of the
heart. Two men named respectively
Michael Kavanagh and r. P. Mckay were
arrested by officers Harris, Hussey and spe-
cial Provost as those who had inflicted the
wounds. 1t is said that Brown refused
them drinks, and undertook to eject them
from the barroom, when struggle ensued,
with the result as stated. The weapon used
was pocket-knife with blade two inches
long.
The striking carmen had made arrange
ments for parade Saturday afternoon,
which had been announced as monster
demonstration, to show the public that the
men were still as united and confident as
on the first day of the strike" In response
to the call some thirty or forty of the men
assembled at the X. R. B. Hall, about 2
o'clock, and few others arrived during
the next hour or two. At o'clock proba-
bly, 100 men were in and about the hall,
but not over half the number were striking
carmen. AT an early hour IN the afternoon
it was apparent to the leaders that suffi-
cient number could not be obtained to
making the showing the men desired, so
the project of a procession was therefore
abandoned.

MORE and more rapidly the great lead
ers in the war for the Union are passing
away. With the fall of General Logan
another splendid figure in the history of
the struggle for an indissoluble Union of
sovereign States has disappeared from the
stage of action. Such few of the heroic
and now aged leaders as remain should not
be neglected by a grateful nation. A few
weeks ago a fitting occasion afforded this
journal the opportunity to suggest that
Governor Stoneman, now that he is about
to relinquish the cares of civil office, should
be restored to the retired list of the army
The thought is revived by the mournful
event that has made the nation poorer in
the number of the gallant men who fought
to preserve it, and whom it cannot too
richly reward. We repeat the suggestion
that Californians, laying aside all political
prejudices, should unite to secure for Cen
eral George Stoneman the deserved honor
of restoration to the retired list, from
which he withdrew his name at the de-
mand of this people for his services in civil
station. The recommendation ought to be
one of the very first acts of the Legislature
next week.

DEATH OF GENERAL LOGAN.

1t seems scarcely later than yesterday
that General John A. Logan was an hon
ored guest of the people of this State, and
received at its capital the manifestations
of their sincere respect and cordial regard
Then apparently in the full vigor of ripe
manhood, and in the strength of perfect
health, it is difficult so directly after to
realize that the distinguished citizen, the
gallant soldier, and the devoted patriot,
lies low in death The news is shock,
for though his illness was severe, his death
had not been looked forward to as prob
able. With this passage from time to the
unknown another heroic figure in the Ma
TONS history is removed from activity,
and another vacancy occasioned in the
chief house of the Nations council. 1t is
not necessary here to detail General Lo-
gan's heroic career in the late war-that
is written indelibly upon the tablets of the
gratitude of the Republic. His was the
soldiery activity that was backed by such
fervid patriotism as mark only heroes who
forget self in the demands of their country.
From the bar to Congress, from the halls of
legislation to the battlefield, and again
from war to the council chambers of the
United States this hero passed naturally
and in accord with a desire of the people
that rose superior to any personal ambi-
ton that could actuate the man. There his
voice was lifted and his counsels given for hui
man liberty and the maintenance of human
rights, and the advancement of the Nation
Vigorous rather than ornate, strong and
positive rather than argumentative, carry
ing men with him by fearless express
sion and the fierce and honesty of his own
convictions rather than by eloquent
periods, he was a wonderful infu-
ence in the Senate; figure of
such prominence and strength that its
removal causes in all the land profound
sorrow. General Logan was essentially a
man Of the nation. 1t claimed him as its
own; it seconded his honest ambition to
rise, by recognizing his strength and vigor.
and the patriotic fervor of all his activity.
He was strong partisan; he attached
himself to his party with a devoted 10y
atty that inspired all with whom he came
into contact with respect for his political
character. lie was man, say those who
knew him intimately, who in social life
was as genial and gentle and affectionate
as in war or in politics he was rugged and
aggressive. This typical American and
distinguished patriot, who occupied SO
foremost place in the citizenship of the
republic, will be mourne1 by the entire
people. Political foes will pay to his
memory the tribute of honest respect; his
partisan colleagues will acknowledge in
his honor the leadership he filled his
personal friends will place upon his bier
the offerings that come only from the
hands OF those who love; the people of
the nation will manifest their sorrow by
those manifestations Of grief that testify to
a deep sense of the great loss the country
has sustained. So will the hero and pa
triot go to his grave loved, honored and
lameufed

to their destination until the blockade is
raised. The railroad men held meetings at
Richmond, Reading and Pottsville yester-
day, and decided to stand by the striking
train hands, if necessary, to carry their
point. The Reading officials sent for the
Grievance Committee yesterday, with a
view of coming to definite understand
ing. The men demand of the company
to restore the suspended crews, and
also the removal of the General
Dispatcher, George Bower, who, it
is alleged, is Objectionable to them.
The company, in the event of failure to
settle the trouble with the strikers, will
probably attempt to start the wheels with
new hands as soon as they can be got to-
gether. The supply of coal cars at the
mines is inadequate, and only few of the
collieries will be able to resume work to-
day.
In the Workers Interests.
NEW YORK, December 27th-A. M.-Sen-
ator Leland Stanford introduced in the
United States Senate last week a bill to as
sist working people to form cooperative
working associations. Stanford is now at
the Windsor Hotel. He said yesterday ::
" My bill is to provide for the cooperation
of people with or without money. 1t will
enable them to put in their labor, if they
have nothing else, or property, or money,
if they have it. 1t is the intention of the
bill to encourage all labor organizations.
Why woulds not partnerships do as
well?"
Because when man dies or retires, the
partnership is dissolved. The associated
body, under this law, would have perpetual
life. Men could go out or come in without
disturbing it. 1t would have legal exist
ence?"
How was this idea suggested to your"
BY early days in California. A great
part of the mining there was done on that
principle. Men associated themselves
together to build fumes, turn currents of
rivers, or tunnel in the hills. While some
were busy in these directions. others worked
at placer mining to gain immediate profit,
and this went for the support of all until
the greater part of the work was finished.
By this working together they accom-
plished great results, where little could
have been done if they worked as indi-
viduals."

IT looks very much now as if the pres
ent English Cabinet had heard the order
for its dissolution. Churchill's withdrawal
is upon rather indefensible excuses, but
the fact of discord in the Cabinet has had
its effect, and the Tory party finds its
allies rapidly drifting away from it. 1t is
intimated in the dispatches that expecta-
ton of Gladstone's reinstatement is al
ready expressed in weIl-informed political
circles, and certainly the indications point
to that event as probable. 1t viii be a
strange turn, indeed, that puts Chamber
lain and Gladstone politically arm in arm,
but as unexpected political revolutions
have been, and may come about again. 1t
seems scarcely possible for Lord Salisbury
to bring Harrington into the Cabinet, and
unless he can, no coalition Ministry is pos
sible, and the days of the Tory party in
rover are numbered.

IN THE SPRING.
When the Daisies Bloom Europe VIII
Let Her War Dogs Loose.

When the Daisies Bloom Europe VIII
Let Her War Dogs Loose.
NEW YORK, December 27th-A. M.-The
Stars London special says: In an inter-
view on the foreign situation the Admiral
of the feet stated last night that war in
the spring, if not sooner, is certain. Eng
land will probably be involved. The
chances are in favor of hostilities breaking
out early in March. None of the Powers
consider themselves strong enough to talk
fight until the back of the European winter
is broken. The Admiral stated that Russia
is certainly resolved to seize Constantine
pie at any cost of lives and treasure. Tur-
key is powerless without European
assistance. Russia once firmly planted in
Constantinople no European power could
dislodge her. She could block the entrance
to the Black Sea and destroy the whole
fabric of British commerce in that region.
Eastern Roumelia, Bulgaria and Roumania,
and the whole of European Turkey would
be overrun by Muscovites. The S25,000,-
900 worth of shipments annually between
England and the Eastern seaboards alone
would be cut off, to say nothing of the
trade with the interior. Austrias outlet
through the Danube would be closed.
ENeLAND's PREPARATION FOR WAR.
Such being the prospect, it is considered
the duty of Great Britain to arm at all
points. Unceasing exertions are being put
forth to bring the British navy up to the
highest efficiency. 1t is intended to make
the effective fighting strength of the coun-
try at sea greater than that of Russia and
France combined. Additional hands
are being put on all the iron
clads; cruisers and torpedoes are
under construction, or making ready for
sea. fresh contracts are being prepared for
additional ironclads and vessels, and the
dockyards are making and distributing
enormous quantities of ammunition and
stores. The object of these extraordinary
efforts is twofold-the prevention of Rus
sian occupation of Constantinople and the
maintenance of British supremacy in the
channel, in the Mediterranean and else
where.
"DER wAcHT AM RHEIN.n
The march of the first Russian regiment
across the border will probably be the sig
nal for a renewed struggle between France
and Germany, and considerable portion
of the French navy will have to be detached
for service on the German coast.
In other quarters it is learned that Prince
Bismarck regards the preparations ofFrance
as equivalent to an intended declaration of
war against Germany. He is anxious to
see an early evacuation of Egypt by the
British and a settlement of the Bulgarian
question to clear the way to action, and
compelling General Boulanger to show his
real designs. The belief here is that Ger
man preparations are more advanced than
General Boulanger has any idea of, and
that Germany is in better condition to take
the field than France is.

A TooTHsoME ODDITY IN EATING Now
is the time, when gray squirrels are fat, for
making the famous Virginia dish known as
the Brunswick stew, the recipe for which is
as follows: Take one squirrel, fresh and
nice, half pound of middling, cut thin
and with skin off, and water in sufficient
quantity. Put on at o'clock to cook for
FIVE hours, when the flesh will leave the
bones of the squirrel, which should be
taken out Now add one quart of tomatoes
(peeled), one small onion, one-half pound
of butter (fresh), one goodsized Irish po-
tato, two ears of corn, with the grains split
down each row before cutting from the
cob Then a sufficient quantity of sweet,
light bread should be added with the toma-
toes Just one hour before dinner Now sea-
son to the taste with both black and red
pepper. and you have the genuine Bruins
wick stew Washington Letter.

ORANGEs.-Fourteen years ago, Dennis
A. Dunn. one of Shastas pioneers, who
has been gathered home to dwell in that
mansion not made with human hands,
planted an orange tree a few feet east of his
dwelling on Back street. The plant was
set in hole about four feet in diameter,
and mostly sunk in bedrock, dug out by
VIM. H. Dunn. The tree received no spe-
cial attention, but was once topped. Itnow
stands thirteen feet high, and is limbed
from ground to top, and every limb is load
ed with nice, bright, thin-skin oranges, a
picture of tropical beauty here in the foot
hills, with crowned Mount Shasta in
the background. This tree has this year
borne over five hundred fair-sized oranges.
one hundred and fifty of which have been
nicked off.-ShaStc Courier

cause the windows are shut to keep out the
rain, while the fireplace is shut to keep out

War RulnOrs.

NEW YORK, December Goth. G. w.
Smalley's cable special from London: Not
day passes without fresh rumors of war.
None of these which have appeared this
week amounts to much singly, but collect
lively they give rise to uneasiness, both in
political and financial circles. Vienna and
Berlin have been pulling in different ways
for some time past and now show signs of
serious disagreement ON the Bulgarian bus
mess. The stories about the Cars condi-
ton grow daily more numerous and more
consistent. The Times does not hesitate
to print the opinion of an Austrian
statesman that the Gar is very near
delirium tremens and may at any moment
commit some folly which would force Aus
tria into a war. The often-denied story of
his shooting Count Reitem is reaffirmed,
and further rumor of some insult offered
to a German military attache at st. Peters
burg seems not without foundation. Di-
plomacy in the presence of mad Gar is
disposed to acknowledge its own impoten-
cy. The dealing in financial circles is, as
usual, one of extreme timidity. The idea
prevailing in the city is that war may come
at any moment. Money may be had on
call, except for Stock Exchange transac-
lions, very cheap, but long loans are nego-
tiated with difficulty.
The Vienna correspondent of the Times
says that an Austrian statesman declares
that the maintenance of peace is entirely
dependent on the action of the Gar, and,
as he drinks, delirium tremens may at any
moment cause him to commit an act of
folly which would precipitate war. Aus
tria must be ready for such contingency
The Poster Lloyds says that the Cars fear
of the Nihilists is excessive, and that he is
suspicious of everybody with whom he
comes in contact, including even his own
wife and children
