AN INSUPERABLE BARRIER.
Sexton Opposed to Compromise With
ParnelI.

BoULoGNE, December 21.-Mr. Sexton,
in an interview last night, said he consid
cred Mr.. Parnell's insulting references
TO his colleagues an insuperable barrier to
his resumption Of the leadership OF the
Irish party.
He was quite certain that had Mr.. Par
nell consulted the party in regard to Nor
ley's alleged offer of place, every
man would have rejected Indignantly the
idea of sacrificing in any degree the indie
pendence of the party by an acceptance OF
the offer.
Regarding the effects of the possible
passage OF the Land Act, Mr.. Sexton said
he thought it would render the farmers
more independent, energetic and enterpris-
ing, but the measure of their success might
be measure of the laborers' discomfort.
In order to meet the Just claims Of the lat
ter Mr.. Sexton said he looked TO the eXten-
sion of the system Of the act of 1888 to be
inaugurated by authorizing the Boards OF
Guardians 10 levy rates 10 be used III the

present the boards have 10 pay per

cording to fixed specifications from Dublin.
This, and the expense of inspection would
increase the price OF house and garden to

The Rough Experience of the Crew of an
American Fishing Schooner.

NEW York, December 27.-SiXteen ship
wrecked seamen landed here today from
the steamer Elbruz, the Captain aud
crew of 10 men of he American Fishing
schooner Gracie c. Young, which sailed from
Gloucester Mass, December II. She was
bound for the Newfoundland banks after
halibut. Immediately after leaving port
she encountered severe weather and on the
fourth day out sprung leak. The men
were set to work at the pumps, but the
storm increased and still further opened
the seams in the vessel. Her foremast was
carried away, and this mishap left the
schooner at the mercy of the seas. Great
waves washed over the craft and swept her
decks. The air was bitter cold and the
water froze as soon as it struck the decks.
This impeded the work of the men,
many of whom were almost frozen,
and had TO abandon the pumps.
Only about half the crew were able 10
work. and their combined efforts could not
prevent the water from gaining in the
hold. Captain Kenny Mcpherson, the
commander. decided to abandon the vessel
AT the first favorable opportunity. The
crew were kept at work day and night. \
week elapsed, and it was evident that the
schooner, was sinking. The men prepared
To abandon the vessel on the 18th, when
smoke was seen on the horizon TO the cast.
Signals of distress were run up on the
main mast head, and in couple of hours
the Elbruz bore down on the sinking vessel
and lay 10 for the purpose OF rescuing the
crew. The schooner was provided with
seven dories, and in these the sixteen men
put off to the rescuing steamer. All these

a TEST FOR THE LYMPH.
Doctors Experiment on Young Man Who
Has Pulmonary Consumption.

New YORK, December 21.-All the pa
tientS in the New York hospitals who have
been inoculated with the Koch
lymph are said to be doing well.
The first injection was administered
to-day to young man whose
case is looked upon with unusual interest
The patient. "a man just of age, has been
afflicted with pulmonary consumption for
twenty-one months, but the disease was
thought to be still in an early stage. The
patient had written to Berlin detailing his
case and asking if he could be treated if he
should go to Berlin. He was advised to
come if he could afford the travelling eX-
penseS.
The young man had arranged to so TO
Berlin when he learned that he could re-
ceive the same treatment here and avoid
the heavy expense of travel. The case IS
said by the doctors TO be good one for a
test. Despite the ravages of the disease,
the young mans condition is fair. The
first injection consisted of one milligramme
of the lymph. The patient was put to bed
and was resting comfortably this afternoon,
no unfavorable symptoms being noticed.
The lupus cases continue to improve won
derfully.

DIsINFECTs THE LUNGS.
An Indiana Doctors Method of Curing
Consumption.

INDIANAPOLIS, December 21.-Dr. o. \.
Z. Henry. reputable physician of Win

curing consumption, which has produced
the results claimed in series Of six expert
ments.
The preparation Used is any Of the mod

gases
An alcoholic lamp is placed in block of
wood, and surrounding this lamp is gal
yanized iron cylinder, covered with ashes

der. and Immediately above the flame, is a
can from which two rubber tubes extend.
Within this can the preparation chosen IS
placed, and with the tubes inserted i'll his
nostrls, the patient inhales the fumes.
By this method it IS claimed that the
lungs of a pulmonary consumptive may be
disinfected, cicatrized and rendered coE-
pletely antiseptc. This IS simply method
of application which, ii need not be said,
is equally effective in any germ disease for
which germicide has been discovered. 1t
simply arrests disease, but does not restore
tissues already destroyed.

from his allegiance 10 the Salvation Army
by prospects of Il salaried position with
one of the regular church mission organi-
cations in the east of London.
They admit that several prominent dig

that these are exceptions, and that the

opposed to the army. IL is likely that CON

pulled out from here 10 intercept them or
capture and destroy them, but so far no
word has been received from the General.
The Indians are still carrying on their

much bolder, having stolen three valu able
horses and ten head of stock out OF corral

situated only ten miles from this camp on
the Cheyenne river. A half breed came

left there for the Bad Lands to induce their
hostile brethren 20 come in, and declares
the number of hostiles is greatly eXagger-
ated, and that they did not number over

teppes outside of Pine Ridge Agency,
where a number of bucks were congregated,
and the squaws were crying and saying
that they would never return, and COM

them. He says there are at the least cal

them, all well armed, number having
Springfield carbines, the same as are used
by the soldiers in the army, and all declar-
ing that they would fight.
