POPE LEO AND HOME RULE
THE PONTiFF's SPEECH TO THE lRIsH PILGRIMS CREATES DISMAY.
Cardinal Manning and Archbishop Walsl, Dsprecate any Interference on the Pa | Of the Vatican-The Home Rulers Will Fight Their Owa Battles.

LONDON, Feb. 2-The intin ation appa1 ently conveyed by the pope in his speech to the Irish pilgrims, whom he received yester day, that it would be possible to settle the Irish question upon lines identical with those forming the basis of the settlement of the Vatcans differences with Prussia, has caused great deal of suppressed excitement, and excited exhaustive discussion ill church circles in Rome, and will doubtless excite an intense feeling of surprise and dislnay among the Irish priesthood and people when the speech is printed.
 lt is known that Cardinal Manning, Arch bishol, Walsh and many other English and Irish pIe.ates, deprecate any interference on the part of the vatican in Irish political mat ters, and will exert themselves to the exhaus tion of every po5si oility to prevent his hOi- ness from ordering the Irish clergy to cease agitating the homo rule cause on the strength of Mgr Persigos report.
 A very large majority of the Cathoi clergy in Ireland are natives of the country, though tlley are not unanimous in support of home rule. Almost without exception the Irish priests who are opposed to home rule have been boyaoetea by their parishioners, and this fact augurs ill for the success of any effort o- the part of the vatican to compel the priesthood to sink its patriotism in de- votcu to the church and blind obedience to the commands of its head If the pope at tempts to withdraw the clergy from the home rue fight the people will be almost certain to exert a counter pressure upon them that the will not be able to withstand, though sue. pressure would hardly be necessary in mos. Cases, since disregard of the vatican's behest would be the rule among the clergy rather than the exception.
 This is the situation which it is believed Cardinal Manning and his colleagues have presented to his holiness, and it remains to be seel whether the vie counsel of the Irish hierarchy will prevail over the evident desire O. the vatican to curry favor with the Englisl. government at the expense of the suffering clergy and iaity- of Ireland

THE ICE FORT.

on all incoming trains and filled the streets. Handsome illuminations were seen on all sides. The state capitol and city hall were illuminated from cellar to roof. The ice fort, which rests eminence in Washington avenue lit up with electric light, presented pretty effect The parade of the bobbing clubs was a novel affair, it's like never having been seen before. The procession was divided into five divisions and stretched over two miles. The largest sleds were drawn by horses, and nearly all the machines were dec Orated. Some were trimmed with flowers, others with cotton to represent snow. The Bentley sled had two large cotton balls representing snow balls on its bottom board. The Red Jacket was fitted with a tent, in which rode an Indian, who was at tended by Esquimaux. The Flying Dutch man was fitted up as a full rigged ship, with a crew of hoary headed men. The Bever- wick had small representation of a tobOg- gan slide on it, and the Tammany Hall, whose crew was dressed as Indians, contained a miniature hill, with small bob sled going down it. Next to the Tammany Hall came the sled David B. Hill with no decoration save picture of Governor Hill
 The crew of the Mikatlo dressed as Japan csc, sat under an immense umbrella fast to the sled. The Volunteer, under canopy, carried a small model of the sloop yacht by that name. A hotel bob was attended by a crew dressed as drummers, wearing plug hats and clusters, and carrying fans. The tempera- ture was nearly zero. The bobs were lighted with colored and other ights and the crews being all uniformed the procession created considerable favorable comment. Governor Hill viewed it from the prison superintend- ent's room in the capitol and Mayor Thatcher from the city hall
 To-day is given over almost entirely to rac- ing, ending at night with the storming of the ice fort,
