LONDON, Oct 1S-The Manchester Re-
form Club to-day gave luncheon to Mr..
Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland. He
afterwards received an address from union
lists in Memorial hall, congratulating him
upon his patient courage in dealing with
the Palnellites In replying to the address,
Mr.. Balfour charged the English followers
OF Mr.. Gladstone with sharing the guilt of
the Parnellites in supporting the policy of
crime.
The counsel for Mr.. Parnell will apply to
the Parnell commission on Monday for the
release from prison of William Redmond,
in order that he may appear as witness
for Mr.. Parnell in his litigation with the
Times.
Michael Davitt has written letter to the
Times in which he says that the Irish will
not accept the scheme proposed by the lib
erals for the government of ireland, unless
an Irish parliament is allowed to solve the
land question and fix the compensation to
be paid to landlords.

Skeleton Attendance and Skeleton
Business for Political Purposes.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S-Mr. Cox of New
York was in the chair when the House met
this morning.
After prayer by the chaplain, MIR. Farqu-
har of New York, rose and called the chairs
attention to rule 1, of the House. which
directs the speaker to cnuse tho journal
TO be read on the appearance of a quorum.
lie was unwilling that certain members
should absent themselves, while others
like himself, had remained here since
December. There had been one
or two motions to adjourn which
had been treated somewhat captiously, and
it was time that the House should come TO
some reasonable arrangement as to whether
the members should be parties TO political
game or whether they should djourn prop
erly and i'll order. He believed that the
speaker of the House, whatever his engage
ments might be elsewhere, and there was
no reason for his absence on account of
sickness, should preside over the skeleton
House as long as members were willing to
stay to transact skeleton business. He
felt that II was not only a disgrace but an
atfront to the intelligence of congress to
have two insignificantly attended bodies
waiting patiently the movements of the po-
litical parties.
Mr.. Richardson Of Tennessee demanded
the regular order, and the speaker pro tenn.
directed the clerk to read the journal.
Mr.. Farquhar objected and called atten-
tior to the fact that there was no quorum
present.
The journal was then read.

THURMAN'S TOUqHNEss.
He Says He Will Stick Out His Work
to the End.

PERU, IND, Oct. 1S.-It is estimated that
fully 10000 people were in town during the
morning, many of whom left before the
meetings of the afternoon, at which time
there were probably $4,000 people in the
city. While the crowd was not so great as
at Shelbyville, it was much stronger-lunged
and gave Judge Thurman royal welcome.
The judge spoke as follows
MY FRIENDs-I cannot express the pleasure
that have enjoyed on the occasion of this trip.
Everywhere that have been | have met with
the kindest and most cordial reception, and to-
day is another proof of your hospitality and
your kindness am glad, friends, to be with
you to-day. | am glad to witness that zeal in
the democratic cause that have never seen ex-
celled in all my life. lApplausel.
NO FEARS FOR INDIANA
am glad to know that Indiana is fully reused
to a sense of her duty, and that she and her
democracy realize the fact that il they give the
vote of this noble old state to Grover Cleve-
land his election is assured. l may say that
| have no fears on that account. l believe
from what l have heard. from what have
seen and from what my friends-in whose words
| have the utmost reliance-have told me, and
in view OF the noble history of the democracy
of Indiana, that they will do their full duty this
year and save the republic [Great applause. !
You can do it, and believe that you will do it,
HUsBAHDING HIS VOICE.
Now, my friends, must speak to you some
what briefly, for 1 have been speaking all the
week, and have to speak every day and evening
from now until the week shall end. | have
therefore to husband my voice so that / may
not break down and may not give some shadow
of proof to what our political opponents are
saying, that am a poor, decrepid old man
Well, they say no man is the judge in his own
case, but all have to say upon that is, that if
poor decrepid old man can travel thousands of
miles as have done and make the number of
speeches that have made and talk TO people
and enjoy their society as have done, would
like to know what well man is. LApplausel.
A GREAT RECORD.
From New York to the Mississippi river
have spoken this year and only on one occasion,
when sickness that might have affected any
strong, prevented my speaking, have failed to
keep my appointments and will tell you Just
a secret between you and me: that / am going
10 keep it up to the end. [Applause.l Just as
sure as you are living, this tough old fellow will
hold out as long as the next one. Applause
l will not be deferred by q rainy day, for, as
you remember, the good book says "the rain
falleth on the just as we'll as the unjust" am
confident that we are just. and we have there
fore to take our share Of rain. [Applause.l
Judge Thurman then proceeded TO dis
cuss the tariff and the question Of the sur
plus, following the same line Of argument
pursued last night at Fort Wayne. His au-
dience gave close attention, frequently in
terrupting him with applause, and showing
an interest and keen appreciation Of the
points made throughout his discourse.

FERNANDINA, FLA, Oct. 18.-The report
for the twenty four hours ending at 6 o'clock
last night is as follows:
Deaths..-.-. ......-................ 80.
Refugees write inquiring as to the propri-
ETY. of returning. To all such the reply is:
Keep away. New material makes ready
food for the disease, and almost all cases
with the white population are now severe
The d1sinfection officers Of the govern
ment have commenced work, and the idea
has gone out that the bedding is to be de
stIoyed without recompense, and the result
is that the colored people are concealing
their cases and denying to the doctors that
they have been sick, even after they have
been discovered and reported to the visitors.
DIR. Ross considers it a very important
matter for the future that the disinfection
and destruction of infected bedding should
be thoroughly done, and the Howard as
sociation is lending him its best aid in ac-
complishing the work.

PRISON MADE WAGONS.
Another Dodge to Make Little Capt.
tai for the Republicans

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-In the Senate to-
day Mr.. Teller offered resolution instruct
ing the committee on Indian affairs to
inquire as to the truth of the report that
the secretary Of he interior had purchased
large number of wagons for the Indian
service that were manufactured with prison
labor in the state of Tennessee. He made
some remarks on the subject, intimating
that the complaint was really against the
late commissioner of Indian affairs.
Mr.. Bate explained that there was not
only nothing wrong in the transaction, but
that the bargain which la trade the de
partment made for those wagons was the
best that could be made. It was made after
advertisement, and the contract was let to
the lowest bidder. He saw no reason, how
ever, why the matter should not be invests
gated, If the senator from Colorado de-
sired.
On objection by Mr.. Cockrell, the resolu-
tion went over until tomorrow.

Surgeon General Hamilton is in CORE

systematic disinfection of the city at the
close of the epidemic, and the adoption of
stringent measures to prevent the return of
refugees before the proper time. The matter
has also been under consideration by the

council will have presented for its approval
and passage an ordinance framed with
special reference to clothing the govern
ment officials with the requisite authority
to enter private dwellings, disinfect them
and destroy any articles of furniture, bed
ding or clothing, which may have any
yellow fever infection about them.
A SERIOUS QUESTION.
1t is estimated that about IS 900 residents
of Jacksonville are at present awaiting per-
mis- ion to return. This wholesale entrance
of their houses in their absence is fraught
with deep meaning, and the system to be
adopted is looked for with much anxiety
This is one of the most serious ques-
tions growing out of the epidemic
and one which, if properly solved, bids fair
to entail much hardship and dissa isfaction.
The board of health is in session this even-
ing preparing rules and regulations on dis
infection, but the work is not likely to be
cOmDeted for a daV or two

EMPEROR FRFDERICK's CASE.
Prof. Virchow and DR.. Waldmoyer
Draw Up Document.

BERLIN, Oct 1S.-Prof. Virchow and DR..
Waldmeyer have signed document de-
claring that the protocol drawn up after the
post mortem examination on the remains Of
Emperor Frederick did not mention the
abcess in the cavity of the trachea, and that
none existed. They further say that the
tissues in which DIR. Mackenzie asserts DR..
Bergman made a false passage while at
tempting to insert the canula were in their
normal condition and were not cicatrized.
The trachea, they state, was open to bron-
chi8.
DECLINE TO HAVE HIM INDICTED.
The National Zeitung says that Drs.
Bergman and Gerhardt have declined to
adopt the suggestion to have the public
prosecutor indict DR.. Mackenzie and the
German publisher of his book for libel
They declare that DR.. Mackenzie's state
ments will recoil on himself, and they are,
therefore, anxious that his book be given
the fullest publicity.
PROF. vIRCHow'S STATEMENT.
Prof. Virchow, in an interview with a
representative of the Vissche Zeitltng, pro-
tested against DIR. Mackenzie's attempt to
throw responsibility upon him. He said he
had not been summoned to see Emperor
Frederick. The autopsy, he added, showed
that the disease was more deeply seated than
the tumor from which DR.. Mackenzie re-
moved the particle for examination.
The police OF Berlin have seized all the
English and French copies OF Dr.. Mac
kenzies book.
Prof. Bergman does not object to fight
ing duel with DR.. Mackenzie.

erick were held in fifteen towns to-day
