THOEBE'S DEFEAT.
The Reasoning of the Committee in
It's Report.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE report of
the Elections Committee on the Thoebe-
Carlisle contest, made to the House to day
by Chairman Crisp, after recital of the
offer of the contestants counsel to prove
certain allegations, says that as the notice
of contest fails to specify them as grounds
of contest, a well established rule would be
sufficient negative answer to the appll-
cation. To induce the House to order n
new hearing of his case, the contestant
must show diligence in the use of the time
allowed him by the statute, but in this case
he took testimony on only seven of the
fifty days allowed him, made no effort to
procure evidence, avowed that he never
wanted TO enter into the contest, and that
he would like to get out of it, that ne did
not want to pay out money in the matter
and had been forced into it by labor clubs
and his desire to repel the imputation that
had been cast upon him that he and
his counsel had been bought up. In the
opinion of the committee the laches of the
contestant and his counsel have been such
as To preclude him from asking further IN
diligence of the House.
WON'T HOLD WATER
Very careful consideration of the papers
satisfies the committee beyond all reason
able doubt that not one OF the substantial
averments OF the contestant could be estab-
lished by satisfactory process. The com
mittee Concede the right of the House to in
vestigate the title of the contestee to
the seat, even if the contestant has been
guilty of such negligence as to preclude him
as party, but it fails to see anything in
the present case calling for an inquiry by
the House for its own vindcation or to
purge itself of a member elected IN fact
After thus disposing of the application for
an extension, the committee takes up the
case as by the record and finds that no
evidence was had which supports,
or tends to support, any one of the
tifty-five specifications filed by the contest
ant. His witnesses prove nothing tending
to impeach the fairness of the election. The
technical point that the Judges of the cleo
tions We're all Democrats, the committee
dismisses with the statement that it does
not follow that the State law was violated
in that particular. and cites the case Barnes
VS.. Adams in the Forty first Congress as a
precedent for its decision. In conclusion
the committee reports resolutions declaring
Mr. Carlisle and not Mr.. Thoebe elected.

His Physician Does Not Expect Alarm
ing Effects.
WASHINGTON. Jan. l7.-Speaker Carlisle
had another chill at 4 o'clock this morning
and DR.. Sewers his physician, was hastily
summoned and remained at his bedside
some time. At O'Clock the Speaker was
sleeping quietly. His symptoms at that
hour were rather more favorable. At IL
o'clock DR.. Sewers reported the Speakers
condition as much improved since A o'clock.
He had had four hours restful sleep and was
repOsing quietly with no signs of a recur-
renee of the chills. DR.. Sewers speaks very
encouragingly and predicts no alarming
consequences from the attack.
MUCH BETTER AT NIGHT.
At 9 o'clock tonight DR.. Sewers said that
Mr.. Carlisle was resting quietly and on the
whole was considerably better than he was
this morning. He had, however, another
chill during the afternoon, to which the
doctor seemed to attach but little Importance
The chills, he said, were caused by intestinal
disturbances, which were primarily the
result of overwork and diSordered digestion.
The question was asked: as he danger
ously, or even seriously, illp
Il do not so regard him." was the reply.
ne Is QulUe weak, as Sdlu, from over
work and anxiety, and it may be some time
before he is able to be about; but he sits up
in his bed, has never for moment lost con-
sciousness, and has had several hours of re-
freshing sleep, and think without repeated
and violent recurrence of chills, he will get
along without any serious trouble. On the
whole he is certainly improving
EXHAUSTED HIS STRENGTH.
The Speaker has exhausted his strength
by the hard labor of the last two months.
The Thoebe contest annoyed him for that
reason more than it would otherwise have
done. Yesterday as he sat in the chair
while the Republicans were attacking Pub
lie Printer Benedict's administration of the
Government Printing Office he almost
tainted. The Republicans closed the debate
much sooner than they would because they
observed the Speakers condition. Every
body in public life, from the President
down, has manifested to-day the
greatest possible interest in the
Speakers condition. They have
constantly inquired, and kilograms of in
quiry and sympathy have been coming to
Mrs. Carlisle all day. One of the first
messages to Mrs Carlisle this morning came
with some roses from Mrs. Cleveland A
little later came one from Secretary Fair

BLAIR'S BILL.
Another Lively Debate on the Measure
in the Senate.

in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Blair educa-
tional bill was taken up in the Senate to-day
and Mr.. Bowen made a speech in support of
it. Mr. Blair followed Mr.. Bowen in ad-
vocacy of his bill
Mr.. Harris interrupted Mr.. Blair to say
that in Mr.. Blaif-s pamphlet the Legislature
Of Tennessee was represented as favoring
the bill That was a gross mistake. The
Legislature of Tennessee had never taken
any such position.
Mr. Blair admitted that there might
probably be a mistake as to Tennessee, but
he certainly was not mistaken in saying
that the bill was favored by the Legisla-
lures of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia, Florida, South Carolina. North
Carolina and Virginia, so that in those
States whose Senators generally attacked
the constitutionality of the bill, there
seemed to be no such objection TO it.
The debate became general, and was par
ticpated in by Nessrs. Hoar, Dawes, Platt
and others, Mr.. Blair still holding the floor
Mr. Blair finally, however, yielded to a
motion to adjourn, stating that he proposed
to press the bill to an early conclusion, and
at 4:15 O'Clock the Senate adjourned.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND
| SIR HICKS BEACH DRIFTING
TOWARD GLADSTONE.

In a Speech at Bristol He Advocates
the Same Privileges for Erin as Are
Accorded Scotland-Parnells Opposi-
ton to Obstructive Tactics Not Liked
by Other Nationalists.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Cabinet, after
two hours session, to-day decided upon con
cessions which are calculated to avert a
Unionist bolt on the local government bill,
Dissension exists among the Parnellites
in regard to Mr. Parnelrs proposed tactics
during the coming session of Parliament.
Mr. Parnell is in favor of abstaining from
obstruction in order to accelerate a rupture
between the UnionistS and Conservatives on
English local government measures. The
two Healeys and Mr.. Dillon oppose such a
programme. Mr.. Parnel will convoke a
meeting of the party early in February.
The new Home Rule paper, the London
Erening STAR made its appearance to-day.
The issue was 142, 600 copies.
Mgr Persico, the papal envoy to Ireland,
has left Cork for Bristol. His health is fee

winter at Torquay. He says that his mission
has not yet been finished, and he will return
to Ireland in April.
John Morley, who is recruiting at LOT
quay, will meet Mgr. Persico.
SIR HICKs-BEACH SPEAKS.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, in a speech at
Bristol this evening, advocated extension of
| local government to Ireland after order has
been established: 1--WE must trust to pa

own affairs We must make political Off

the government, directly responsible to Par
lament, instead of appointing theW
to permanent positions and max
ing them responsible to one man.
We must hand over to the local authorities
everything possible that is consistent with
the interests of the United Kingdom
He concluded by expressing the belief
that the Gladstonians are not stupid enough
to obstruct English legislationeo the injury
of their own influence with the public. He
hoped the government would occupy itself
with questions of local government and
finance and retrenchment.

Ridenour Takes the Stand IN His own
Defense.
WINCHESTER VA, Jan. Ito the great
surprise Of every one, the counsel for the
defense placed Prisoner Ridenour on the
stand this afternoon. He testified in a cool,
unembalrassed manner. He denied most
all of the statements of the witne sses for
the prosecution. He said the last time he
saw Bray, the murdered man, was on the
morning of the murder, and he went
part of the way on the road with
him. When they parted Bray told him that
he was going to Hagerstown to work on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and that he
must not tell his parents, as they would
have him discharged from the road, he be
ing under age. The prisoner did not testify
at the last trial, when the jury returned a
verdict of murder in the first degree. Judge
Clark granted new trial in consequence Of
the jury receiving letters. Ridenour's clear
and straightforward story made a favorable
impression. Increasing interest is mani
tested The argument will begin to-mor-

READINGS LONG FIGHT.
BOTH SIDES SETTLING DOWN FOR
A SIX MONTHS WAR.

President Corbin Will Not Swerve
From His Determination-The Men
at the William Penn Colliery Refuse
to Return to Work-No Coal in
Transit
PoTTsvILLE, PA, Jan, 17.-Gradually
the apprehension of a protracted strike is
crystallzing into a settled conviction.
Even the most hopeful of few days ago
are now disposed to yield to the belief that
the unwelcome experience of 1875 is about
to be repeated in this region. This feeling
is not the outgrowth OF any sudden develop
ments, but of unmistakable evidences upon
every hand that the disputants are
drifting further andS further apart.
The element among the miners which
a week ago was very lukewarm in its dis
position to follow the leaders now seems to
feel that the Reading company is showing
no desire to conciliate or encourage it, and
consequently feeling of disappointment
and resentment is setting in.
THE WILLIAM PENN MEN
This is evidenced in the case of the Will
lam Penn colliery, where arrangements had
been made to start up with fair force this
morning, but where the men at the last mo-
ment refused to go TO work having been
persuaded by the strike leaders to stand
by the Reading men. Supt. Lewis, of this
colliery said to-day after the disappoint-
ment of nis expectation of a resumption:
"All hands of us may now as well make up
our minds for six months struggle, and
the storekeepers who have been so ready TO
indorse strikes, and to contribute TO Keep
them up can now prepare to share their
wealth with the strikers, don't blame the
men; they are honest in their action, but
they are misled by their leaders"
Another meeting of the former employees Of
this colliery was held to-day to reconsider the
action of last Saturdays meeting, which,
by small majority, voted against resum-
ing work. Instead of reversal of the
decision, however, the vote in favor Of re-
sumlng showed falling off of forty.
THE COMPANY SILENT
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17-No movement
looking toward settlement of the Reading
railroad strike is yet visible. The company
maintains an unbroken silence as to its
policy or intention.
CoRBTN WON'T swERvE.
READING, Pa, Jan. 1.-THE first coal
for over sixty hours from the Schuylkill
region reached Reading this morning ID
consisted of a single train of twenty five
cars, and proceeded down the road The
opinion is universal here that President
Corbln has assumed a position from which
he will not swerve, and that neither bust
ness mems committees, nor the sending OF
memorials such as the Reading Board of
Trade and City Council are preparing will
do any good. The experiment of lIsingeoft
coal on the Reading railroad engines isnot
proving success. The engines cannot make
their usual time.
AN APPEAL TO CORBIN.
The joint committee of Readings Coun-
Gil and the Board of Trade tonight sent
lengthy memorial to President Corbin, ask
ing him in the name of the business interests
of the entire Schuylkill Valley to use his
best efforts to settle the miners and rail-
readers trouble

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan 17.-Another
chapter of the Kelly Chandler Abbott
episode of last September comes up in the
shape of card from DR.. Kelly, who is
Missionary Secretary of the Board Of Mis-
sions Of the Southern Methodist Church.
This card explains the circumstances under
which he presented the letter to the board
in November which was deemed satisfactory,
but goes on to say that he has been very
much misunderstood and his letter has
been attributed to compulsion ON the part
of the board. He therefore withdraws the
paper accepted by the board as far as in
him lies and then leaves the full board to
act upon the questions at issue. He adds:
If could have offered the letter to the
Board of Missions, under date of Nov %,
to avoid loss of my official position or to
escape censure from the board | would be
unfit for a place for pecuniary trust in the
church and totally unfit for place in tbs

A Possibility That the President VIII
Make the Trip.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.--The President
contemplates visiting the Sub-Tropical Ex-
position during the latter part Of February.
Senator Call consulted the President on the
subject last Friday and the latter said it
would afford him much pleasure to go to
Florida at the time indicated, provided the
trip does not interfere with his public
duties. and with the further provision that
he shall not be expected to make any stops
en- route. He said If lac could go TO Florida
and spend day and night there and imme-

arrange to accept the invitation.
