 DUBLIN, Jan 15-The Freeman's Journal says: Mir. Wilfred Blunt, being personally persecuted and Gearing that he will be re- moved to worse prison, feels bound to state the grounds upon which he fears the Parnel- lite leaders are to be imprisoned. While staying at country house in the south of England he met MT. Balfour, who made the statement that he intended to imprison six of the physically weakest of the Parnellites, adding: ''I shall be sorry for MT. Dillon, as he has some good about him; he will have six months and as he has bad health he will die in prison" After the Mitchellstown affair Mir. Blunt went to Ireland and warned Messrs. O'Brien and Dill lon. FMr. Balfour," says MT. Blunt, ''be- came aware of this, to which I attribute his viruleace in the Portumna trial feel unsafe in Mr. Balfours hands. Unless protected by those responsible for the direction of prison discipline I should in- cur the risk of i'll treatment or perhaps fare worse.'" In response to an inquiry MT. Bal four said: ''The story is ridiculous lie. I do not believe MT. Blunt ever made the asser- ton attributed to him.

THE COMING WEEK HIN CONGRESS. Lamar's Case To Be Decided In the Senate To.Day-A Variety of Matters For she HouRe.


 Senate To-Day-A Variety of Matters For she House.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The Senate is ex- pected to go into secret session after the morning hour tomorrow and at once begin the consideration of the nomination of
 Messrs. Lamar, Villas and Dickinson, and to continue the secret sessions until these are disposed of. The assumption that there will
 be written reports upon the Lamar case and that the injunction of secrecy will be remov- ed in whole or in part from the proceedings can be traced to nothing which the members of the judiciary committee have said or done. The direct tax bill, which has been discussed at length in the morning hour, will probably be voted upon with two or three days, and Senator Blair will try to se- cure action this week upon the education bill. The deficiency bill is in the hands of 8 su subcommittee of the committee on appro- priations and may be brought into the Sen ate in time for action before next Saturday. The Irregular order" will be temporarily l laid aside from time to time when senators wish to deliver speeches upon other sub jects, and among the expected events of this nature is 8 speech bearing probably upon | current politics by Senator Ingalls,.
 If Chairman Crisp of the House committee
 
 Thoebe- Carlisle contested election by noon tomorrow the matter will at once be laid before the House and as question of the highest privilege will command immediate attention. Should the report not be ready | it will be in order to-norrow for committees ! to move to suspend the rules and pass meas ures that have received their sanction. Few of the committees will be able to take advan- | tage of the opportunity they have not time | to perfect the bill referred to them. Among 1 the measures which may be reached thus is | the agricultural experimental station bill, ' though in the meantime, should the advo-
 catss and opponents of MT. Wilkins national bank bill agree to limit the debate upon it,
 the latter will take precedence in the ordinary course of business. If there is no agreement the friends of the bank bill may seek to pass it under suspension of the rules. In any l event these measures may be expected to oc- l cupy the time of the House during the first ! half of the week. Representative Dingley's resolution of inquiry into alleged Canadian 1 discrimination against American vessels passing through the Welland canal will probably be called up and passed without discussion. The committee on accounts has modified it's original report upon the assign ment of committee clerks so as to give one to each committee. This ensures the adoption
 of the report by the House before the end oi
 the week. The committee's adverse action l upon the amendment proposing to give g
 clerk to every representative will, however val on

This conviction was subsequently, reversed, but Commissioner Lyman said that he did not fear suit for false imprisonment The examination was set for Tuesday morn ing.

Knights Think of Bringing Suit.

PHnApELPHIA, J an. .15.--Prominent Knights of Labor are considering the advisability of
 bringing suit by the commonwealth through
 the attorney general against the Philadelphia
 and Reading and Coal and Iron company
 to compel them to do certain
 things which it is alleged they are
 obliged to do under their charter and the
 various privileges granted by the State. One charge is that the companies by refusing to
 settle with the men are 'scornering" coal and other necessaries for the purpose of snhsnc- ing the values and extorting exorbitant prices from the community. Another charge relates to the responsibility of the companies as com. mon carriers, it being alleged that on ac- count of the company's action men are employed who de not give the best of service and whose efforts result in delay and loss tc | the community. There are other charges which have been discussed and it is said legal proceedings will shortly be instituted.
