A SILLY SUGGESTION.

A proposition is made by those who
are to have the management of the
HARRISON inaugural ceremonies to
have a woman'S parade as feature of
the ceremony. The idea is to form
what is called ladies battalion" to
be composed of women from all the
states that gave Republican majorities.
Like everything of cranky nature,
this silly suggestion is meeting with
approval, and Colorado has already
rendered 500 women for the occasion.
What in the world a respectable wom-
an wants to get mixed up in politi-
cal procession for is wonder; and,
above all, why she would want to
tramp all day through the streets of
Washington at a season of the year
when that city usually lies buried in
mud. 1t is admitted that procession
composed of several thousand good
looking women, bedecked in national
colors, would be an agreeable sight to
the looker-on, but it would be awfully
tough on the women who did the
marching,

Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Dec. 4.-Before the Parnell
commission to-day, witness named
O'Connor deposed that he had joined
what was known as the elmer Circle"
of the National league and had taken
part in moonlight expeditions. A league
secretary named Koran paid the witness
and others 6S each on the occasion of
one of these expeditions, during which
an outrage was committed. The wit
ness also testified that Timothy Har-
him and others their own price if they
would secure the election of Lacquer,
named insolvency as poor guardian
O'COnnor and his associates were in
structed by Mr.. Harrington not to kill
the voters, but only to brighten them
and compel them to sign the papers
pledging their votes. The witness said
that Mr.. arlington paid him for this
service the sum of Ell. The authors of
the placard posted last Friday, adver-
Using lecture by some of the Times
witnesses, appeared before the commits
sion to-day and apOlogized for publish
ing the placard. The apology was ac-
cepted by the court and the matter
dropped. O'Connor continued his tes-
timony. He said that a branch of the
National league at Curragh applied to the
central branch for relief for tenants
who had been evicted. In the official
reply relief was refused on the ground
that the district was in too disturbed
condition. By the same post that brought
the official reply came private letter
signed by Timothy Harrington, giving
as reason for the refusal that the
place was too dull. Sir Charles Rus
pointed out that the name of the wit
ness was not on the list of Times wit
nesses given beforehand. Attorney
General Webster, of the Times cOun-
sci, replied that there were good rea-
sons for Withholding tbs names of wit
nesses. A man named Kellaher testi-
fed that by means of threats that they
would burn his house, party OF moon
lighters gained entrance to his house
and assaulted him and his family. He
was
COMPELLED TO SWEAR LOYALTY
to the league and that he would quit the
employment of farmer who was then
under boycott. The witness was not
crOss-eXamined. Sir Charles Russell
wanted to postpone the cross-examina-
ton of O'Connor. This Attorney Cen
eral Webster would not consent to. In
reply to a question from Sir Charles
Russell the witness said he first went to
Dublin and made a statement similar to
the evidence he had given owing
to the receipt of letter from the
Irish Loyal Patriotic union. Further

Canon Griggin described the disturbed
condition of Castle Island in 1872. He
expressed his belief that a great many

examination he declared that there were

tirely approved of the objects and work
ings of the National league. Before the
leagues agitation began land in Ireland
was greatly overrented. In several cases
he himself had secured reductions from
landlords.

Special TO the GLOBE.
LONDON, Dec. An the house of
commons this evening Lord Randolph
Churchill moved to adjourn the debate
in order to discuss the question Of send
ing British troops to Suakim. He
thought the government was ignoring
the advice Of the highest military au-
thorities. A battle was imminent be-
tween the British troops now there and
the Arabs, with the British force en-
tirely inadequate to cope with the
enemy. He implOred the government
to take Immediate steps to prevent the
threatened slaughter of English soldiers.
Little reliance was to be placed
on Egyptian troops. as experience had
shown. Mr.. Stanhope, secretary of
war, replied that the government had
acted upon reliable information in the
matter of the adequacy of the force
sent. The same quality of information
attested the fact that the black troops
at Suakim were perfectly reliable.
Lord Churchill's motion was rejected
231 to 1S9. Lord Randolph Churchill's
action in the house of commons this
evening with regard to what is known
as the Suakim movement created
quite a sensation and opened the
eyes of the government to the
certainty that it will 60 hard
with them if they attempt any ope-
rationS in the Soudan not previously ex-
planned and specifically authorized. Re-
ceiving flippant reply to his very nat
ural and extremely pertinent questions
from Mr.. StanhOpe. secretary for war,
Lord Churchill suddenly moved an adj
journment in order. as he stated, to en-
able discussion of the propriety of send
ing to Suakim small British force to
play second fiddle to the Egyptians.
The motion was wholly unexpected and
Lord Churchill'S action plainly indicates
that even Tories revolt against the gov
ernment's recent tactics in Egypt.

BIsMARCK's SPANISH TOOL.
Count Benomar Will Be Tried
Before the State COuncil

BERLIN, Dec. 4.-The new Spanish
ambassador, Count Fascon, arrived
here yesterday. Count Benomar has
not yet presented his letters of recall
and is therefore still recognized as
SPANS representative here. The rela-
tons between Germany and Spain are
becoming decidedly unpleasant. Herr
Stumm, the German minister at Mad
rid, recently sounded Senior Armijo.
the Spanish minister of foreign affairs,
in regard to the attitude of Spain in the
event of war between France and
Germany. Senior Armiio gave evasive
answers. He said that he hoped Spain
would have no occasion to interfere
with neutrality that suited her inter
ests. The dispatch sent to Count Ben
omar, and communicated by him to
Prince Bismarck, emphasized Senior
ArmiJo's hostility to the triple alliance.
Senior Armijo declares that Count Ben
omar should not have disclosed the nat
ure OF the dispatch, and that the dis
missed minister is too much of Prus-
sophie to be in the service of Spain.
The Spanish foreign minister PROPOSES
to try Count Benomar before the state
council. This incident does not tend
toward a friendly reception of Count
EaScOn.

MIR. sTICKNEY's SCHEME.
Prospects of New Improvements
to Guarantee the Quicker Nov
ing Of Freight.

Prospects of New Improvements
to Guarantee the Quicker Nov
ing Of Freight.
Chicago Tribune.
Prospects now are that the "Stickney
tract of land lying in the southeastern
corner of Lyons township is to be i'm
proved next spring in accordance with
the plans originally drawn up. and
which created so much discussion in
real estate and railroad circles when
first brought to the notice of the public,
This tract embraces about 5000 acres,
and was purchased about year ago by
syndicate headed by President Stick
new, of the Minnesota 81 Northwest
ern railway, the alleged purpose
being to establish extensive stock
and transfer yards, and eventually
build up large manufacturing interests.
Quite a number of spectators have
been making purchases sub rosa during
the last few months of property adjOin-
ing the Stlckney tract, and some of
them have recently sold out to the syn
dictate or to other real estate dealers at a
good advance.
There is work now being done upon
the Stickney land which gives color to
the presumption that the syndicate
means business and is going ahead in
earnest with It's scheme OF building
new stockyards and furnishing more
extensive .'belt" apd transfer facilities
for shippers. Surveyors are on the
ground aud stakes are being driven to
mark the lines for the projected i'm
prevements. The plans for an elab-
crate system of drainage are already in
the hands of Edgar Williams. a prOmi-
nent engineer of the city. and the work
outlined will be proceeded with i'm
mediateiy.
1t is difficult matter to find any in
terested or uninteretsed person in the
Stickney tract who knows, or will tell,
anything definite in regard to the plans
of the syndicate. But from gentleman
who claims to be OH the inside it is
learned that the purpose of the COM
pany is to build 800 miles of railway
track, which is to furnish communica-
ton to the principal freight depots, tap
all tile roads entering Chicago, and cen
ter On belt line surrounding the Stick
ley land. The promoters of the scheme
claim success is assured, not only from
the fact that the present yards are in
sufficient to accommodate the rapidly
growing and at present enormous
traffic. but that vastly improved ship
ping facilities will be offered which
will at once be taken advantage of. To
carry out the project in its entirety will
involve the expenditure of several mill
ion dollars, but the friends of the syndi-
cate claim that they are abundantly
able to handle the affair. They have
already in the neighborhood OF $500, 900
invested in their land.

Reduction on the Reading.

TRADING, Pa, Dec. 4.-The Phila-

posted notices in all of its shops this
afternoon notifying its employees that
on and after tomorrow eight hours will
be days work, instead of ten, as here
tofore. There will be, of course, pro-
portionate reduction in wages. The
cause of the reduction in working hours
is due to the suspension of coal mines,
and all persons connected with the coal
traffic will be reduced to eight hours.
This will enable the company to keep
all the men EN- ployed, but at shorter
hours. Three or four thousand men is
about the number affected along the
entire system. The eight-hour sy stem
may be continued several months. The
men appear satisfied. Twelve hundred
