LONDON, March S.-A banquet was
given by the eighty" Club this even
ing in honor of Lord Spencer. Mr.. Lock
wood presided. Lord Rosebery, Sir Will
liam Vernon Harcourt, Mr.. Parnell, Mr..
Morley, Sir Charles Russell and other
prominent gentlemen were present. Par
nell received an ovation. Lord Spen-
Ger, responding to the toast of his health,
congratulated Parnell upon the vim
dication of his character against attacks
which, in vehemepce and wickedness,
surpassed any that had ever been made
against a living man. He dealt at
length with Irish affairs and expressed
confidence that Gladstone would live to
carry an improved Home Rule bill.
In response to loud cries for speech,
Parnell rose to his feet and was greeted
with enthusiastic cheers. He referred
to Lord Spencer as "Gladstone's policy
of conciliation," and said his opinion
was worth more than the judg-
ment of a hundred mushrooms like
Balfour. Lord Spencer, after all
his experience, had acknowledged the
truth of what he himself maintained,
that the only way to govern Ireland,
within the Constitution, was to allow her
to govern herself in all matters that do
not interfere with the wellbeing of the
rest of the Empire, with which Ireland
is indissolubly linked. Lord Roseberry,
in proposing q vote of thanks, also con-
gratulated Parnell.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-The rush Of
visitors to the White House continued
to-day, but they we're much less numer-
GUS than on previous days. For the first
time since he entered the White House,
the President was able to devote the en-
tire forenoon to visitors having business
with him. He received upstairs in his
office and was with them from 10 O'Clock
until nearly l. Among those who called
during that time was Vice-President
Morton, with Senator Hiscock, General
B. F. Butler, Senator'S Quay, Paddock,
Dolph, Stewart, Mitchell, Sherman,
Stanford, Representative Mckinley, Lew
Wallace, Ex-senator Saunders and Ex-
Senator Bruce,
Senator Palmer, General Lew Wallace
and Mr.. Clarkson, of Iowa, took lunch
with the President and Mrs. Harrison
to-day, after which the President gave a
public reception, which, on account the
large number of people who had assem-
bled outside the White House, was held
upon the portico, the President merely
bowing his acknowledgements ss the
crowd filed before him. He then retired
for rest and subsequently gave an audi
ence to thousand or more persons who
obtained access to the Red Room. No
Misunderstanding was INDUCED in. The
entire reception lasted from l 80 to
2 80 o'clock. At the latter hour
Mrs. Harrison held card reception.
The Indiana delegation called in body
on the President this morning, and urged
that ex-Congressman Johnston, of Indi-
ana, who was defeated for reelection
last November, be made Commissioner
of Pensions. The other candidates for
this office are Coporal Tanner, of New
York, General Browne, of Cincinnati,
and private Vaughn, of Iowa.

the President in the interest of John F.
Swift, of California. 1t is said they are,

The FURRY in Copper.

PARIS, March s, 2:30 P. M.-Comptoir
d 'Escompte shares are falling, and are
now quoted at 480 francs. Scciete des
Metaux shares are quoted at 1876 fraucs.
The Bank of France has advanced
100,0O0000 francs to the Compton
d'Escompte, sufficient to cover the amount
of deposits withdrawn from the latter
bank. The English copper companies
have accepted a proposal made by the
copper syndicate to reduce the output
during 1889 20 per cent, and postpone
deliveries two months.
The failure of the syndicate is not
thought likely The Rothschilds, if not
directly interested, have fostered it by
proxy and would be unwilling to have
any concern with which they are con-
nected collapse.
PARIS, March 8.-The bourse closed
better. Compton d. Escompte shares
500 francs, Rio Tinte shares $50, Socie
des Meteaux shares 1856.
New YORK, March 8.-There is much
speculative interest in copper to-day.
The fact that the Bank of France had
come to the assistance of the Compton
d. Escompte staggered the bears, but
prices are fractionally lower. April,
$14. go; May, $l3 so.
BosToN, March 8.-The directors of all
the Boston copper mining companies
have ratified the action of their execu-
tive officers in New York in regard to
the French syndicate.
New YORK, March Slate in the day
the following cable was received from
London: Operators in London predict
that the end of the copper trust is near,
and scheme, devised to keep it up in
the eyes of the public, merely processes
to arrange for easier liquidation. 1t is
apparent that tn Sc securities have been
forced by artificial means upon the Con-
tinental markets, and heavy realizing is
inevitable"
In reference to the situation a promi
nent bear operator who, at one time,
held very close relations with the syndi-
cate. prophesied the early downfall of
the French corporation. He argued that
even if all the mines stopped producing,
it would not change the result, as the
present stock was far in excess OF the
consumption. The failure of the syndi
cate, he thought, would not materially
affect the American market.
John Stanton, treasurer of the Central
Mining Company, one of the American
mines with which the syndicate con-
tracted, expressed his belief in the
solidity of the syndicate. The Bank of
France. Stanton, added, would certainly
not make money advances in excess of
the value of the copper held ae security.
PARIS, March SIT is understood that
the Bank of Frances advance is COM
pletely covered by discounted bills which
the Compton d 'Escompte holds.

THE INrER-sTATE UOMmIssuO u.
Stringent Rules 10 Be strictly
Obeyed by Common Carriers.

ODeyeO DyCOmnOh SarFAeEAs
WASHINGTON, March S.-The Inter-
State Commerce Commission to-day
issued lengthy circular calling the at
tention of common carriers to the pro-
visions of the recent amendments to the
lnter-Sta Commerce act, and urging
that especial care be taken to avoid Vio-
lations thereof. Among the declarations
of the amended portions is one to the
effect that no advance shall be made in
joint rates, fares or charges, except after
ten days notice to the Commits
sion, and no reduction shall be
made except after three days notice.
The time in each case is to
be computed from the day when the no
tice of the change reaches the office OF
the Commission in Washington. The
transportation of passengers or the right
over continuous lines or routes operated
by more than one carrier upon through
tickets or through billing, necessarily
implies the existence of joint tariffs. In
the future, all advances and reductions
in joint tariffs will be given the same
publicity as required in the case OF indl'
vidual carriers. Another amendment

any carrier to participate in the recep'
tion of compensation either above OF

to execute and enforce the provisions o
the act, and it is made the duty OF any
district attorney Of the United States

ceedings for that purpose. These rule'
apply equally to joint and individua
tariffs.

The disputed Governorship.'

CHARLESTON, ". Va, March 8.-The
Gubernatorial cases began this morning
in the Supreme Court. The position
taken by the counsel for Governor VIII
son is that declaration of the result is
absolutely necessary 10 give General
Goff the title and, without such declara-
tion, no Court has the right to declare
him Governor and that the whole mat
ter is in the hands of the Legislature.
The Republican side insisted that the peo-
pie have selected Goff and that the certi-
ficates sent up show it, and if the Legis-
lature did not do its duty, the Court must
see that Justice is done.

A DIsastrous Haze.

' LOUISVILLE, KY, March 8-The most
disastrous fire, in respect of loss of prop
erty, that has occurred here in seven
years broke out at noon to-day in the
basement of Kleinhaus & Simonson's Is
clearinghouse, West Market street. In
fifteen minutes the blaze had spread
through three large stores and was leap
ing through the roof. Soon after, the
roof fell, and, little later, two large sec
tions of the side walls. With one of
these, the rear of II. Strauss's dry
goods house went down. A strong
west wind was blowing, and
when the rear of Strauss's
store fell in, sending a mass of flames
upon the loose structures in the block,
it seemed inevitable that the block would
all burn. After hard fight, however,
the fremen gained control and confined
the flames to the Strauss place. One
fireman was painfully and another slight
ly hurt. Kleinhaus & Simonson's loss
on the stock is $285 900, on the buildings
$67, 900, the Newcome building $25, 900,
Strauss'5 stock SAC, 900, and the Churchill
building $4,000. The insurance amounts
to about $255, ,227.
