Minister Phelps to Sail Jan. 31-Ban-
 quoted by the Fishmonsers.
 LONDON Jan. 17-Before the Parnell com mission Presiding Justice Hannah rendered a decision ia the caso ot Mr. O'Brien, who Was charged with conte apt of court on account of article in United Ireland. Justice Hannah said the court concluded that Mr. O'Brien had not intended any disrespect to the court, therefore he would inflict no pun lShment upon him.
 The court proceeded to listen to evidence. Patrick Delaney, convict from Marybo prison, was sworn. He testified that he had belonged to the Fenians He said that the principal part of the Invincibles' oath was a clause binding the members to assassinate the viceroy and the whole executive force of Ireland. He had received money from the National league.
 The witness said that he was deputed to watch Mir. Foster, and Joseph Brady and Timothy Kelly were delegated to murder him. The witness testified that he had no part in the Phoenix park murders. He said that Mr Byrne brought over to Ireland the two knives used at the Phoenix park mur. ders.
 Delaney swore that James Carey had at tempted to hire house from the windows of which the Dublin castle officials might be shot, but he was unable to secure one in a locality suitable for his purposes. He also testified that Patrick Egan had promised to pay Carey's election expenses when the lat ter was a candidate for office in the Dublin municipality.
 Upon cross examination Delaney admitted that when he was 17 years of age he was sen- fenced to prison for five years for highway robbery. When he was accused of partici- patton in the Phoenix park murders he gave the authorities all tho information in his possession.
 The Fenians were never an assassination society, except in the case of informerA The lnvincibles, however, were different. He knew that Egan, Brennan and Byrne were Fenians. He never saw them among the 1nvincibles, but knew they were leaders of the organization.
 United States Minister Phelps will sail for New York Jan. 3l on the steamer I.ahn of the North German line.
 Minister Phelps was the guest of the even- ing at a banquet given by the Fishmongers' company last night. In responding to a toast to his health, he said:
 ''The only complaint that l have to bring against this country is that my experience here has made it more difficult for me to say 'good-by' than to perform any other duty which has devolved upon nle since I came here"
 Continuing Mr. Phelps expressed hope that he might often have the pleasure of seeing in the one country or the other many of his English friends Therefore, in saying fare well, he would adopt the poets sentiment and say mot good night, but in some happier day bid me good morning."

SOME POLITICAL EVENTS.

ARKELL's TRIP TOINDIANAPoLIs.

His Impression of the President Elect.
 But He Learned Little About the Cabi-
 net-How Boomers Are Shut or in Ad-
 vance-Delaware's Political Revolution.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 17-Gen Harrison has sent messenger to New York upon cabinet business. A man, whose identity Is not disclosed, but who is said to be a com- parative stranger to eastern politicians and little known even by name outside of Indiana, left this city for the east upon . message of some sort connected with the question of the selection of New York man for the cabinet The messenger goes ostensibly upon private business of his own, and every effort has been made to keep his mission secret. He will stop of in Buffalo, where he will visit MT. Alexander, the young lawyer who acted ss Gen. Harrison's private secretary during the campaign. It is supposed that MT. Alex ander may accompany him to New Y ork and aid him in executing his mission.
 The opinion among the politicians here continues to be adverse to Platt, and some are even predicting that Miller will get there The ma ajority favor the idea that there will be a compromise on third man. Cornelius N. Bliss is most named for that contingency.
 As illustrating the manner in which Gen. Harrison receives the average office seeker, the experience of Judge Williams, of Pine Bluff, the leader of the Arkansas men who called upon him 8 few days ago in the inter ests of Powell Clayton, may be taken Judge Williams said after he got home: "The secre- tary notified the president-olect that we were there, and in a few minutes Gen. Harrison walked in and said in a business like, prac- tical way, after being introduced to us: Gentlemen, l have much business on hand to-day. There are delegations from various states here to see me The committee on inauguration Is before me asking my views as to the inauguration, but you are the first that opened on the roster to-day, and I shall now hear you My time is limited, and I want to say to you that I have no promises to make. I will listen, carefully consider everything that you say, and hereafter act upon it'"

IMPRESSION OF HARRISON
The President-Elect . Fluent Talker ani
 Thoroughly Posted.

Thoroughly Posted.
 CANAJoHARIE, Jan. 17.-Ex-Senator Ar kell and party have returned from Indian apols. Senator Arkell was asked by a re- porter to give the object and result of the trip and the impression be received of the president-elect. The senator replied as follows:
 'We went to Indianapolis on the invita- tion of Gen. Harrison, and had no other motive than to present to Gen. Harrison a disinterested statement of the Republic situation in New York and speak in the interest of the solidarity of the party. The usual impression is that Mir. Harrison is q polite but reticent man, courteous but mpenetrable. So far as our experience is concerned this would be a misinterpre- tation of his character. He discussed with great copiousness and clearness the New York situation, and by evident indication, with out statement, left the impression that he was not only elected president, but proposed so to be. That this state will receive recoR- milton seems placed beyond doubt, but what portfolio, and to whom rendered, Is to be shown in the future Inferences might be drawn from the conversation. It would not, however, be just to crystalline a conjecture into statement That is the prerogative of the gentleman who has So far carefully kept his own counsel, and kept it without as sistance"
 SCENE IN THE INDIANA SENATE. The Lio Given Direct and 8 Fist Fight
 Narrowly A<srted.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 17.-The senate cham Der here was yesterday afternoon the scene of violent altercatiop, which would prob ably have ended in blows but for a precipi4 tate adjournment The Republicans had been making things unpleasant for the maj jority by flibustering tactics Johnson led appoint twenty extra doorkeepers was up he wanted to amend it so as to require all tho appointees to be ex-Union soldiers Therst upon Senator Smith, a Democrat, sarcastic ally remarked that such motion came with bad grace from man who had at the last session struck an aged Union soldier with his fist
 This referred to an occurrence in the sen ate chamber two years ago, for which the senate then censured Johnson. Johnson re- torted, That is untrue" and when Senator Griffiths, Democrat, said, "You know it is true" Johnson turned upon him fiercely and exclaimed, You are liar" There was @ scene of great confusion, but quiet was finally restored
 A short time afterward Senator Griffiths arose to question of privilege, and apolo- gized to the senate for his sunparliamentarv conduct. Then, turning and shaking his fist at Johnson, he exclaimed: But 1 hope I shall never sink so low as to make bully and blackguard of myself"
 Johnson sprang up, ivid, and retorted: ''The senator makes use of his place here to uss language that he would not dare to use outside the chamber" and started toward Griffiths
 It looked as though blood would have to flow, but friends sprang between and some body moved an adjournment Lieutenant Governor Chase declared the senate ad- journed. Democrats threaten to sxpel John- son on the ground that he is dangerous man.
