RECEPTION AT "FAIRvIEW."


Ex-Gov. and Mrs. Bowie Celebrate the 3oth
Anniversary of Their Marriage.
An old-time southern Maryland reception
was held yesterday at ''Fairview," the beauti-
full home Of ex-Gov. Oden Bowie, in Prince
Georges county. The occasion was the cele-
bration Of the thirty-ninth anniversary of the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Bowie and it afforded
an opportunity to the bride Of Mr. William
Duckett Bowie, the ex-governor's eldest borl,
to form the acquaintance Of the people among
whom she will make her home. Mr.. and Mrs.
Duckett Bowie reside at "Bellaire" in Prince
Georges county, about three and half miles
from '.Fairview." About 400 invitations had
been sent ont and notwithstanding the incle-
ment day about $50 persons were pressnt.
''Fairview" Is o magnificent estate Of LOCO
acres in the upper end Of Prince George 9
county and about three miles from Collington,
on the Pope's Creek brs nch Of the Baltimore
and Potomac railroad, of which the ex-gov-
ernor is president
His whole house was thrown open in generous
hospitality at the reception. and was filed with
afnerry party Of the yeonanry of the country
with their wives and daughters and little ones.
Like all country gatherings in southern Mary
land the reception was entirely informal.
There was no attempt at elaborate toilets on
the part OF the ladies, and there was an absence
OF stiffness and conventionality. After the
warm and genial greeting with which the host
met each visitor the guests were free to roam
wherever fancy dictated within the roomy old
home. The invitations stated that the recep.
ton would be held between II and pm, and
ut the frst-named hour the guests began to ar.
rive. Previously the rooms on the lower floor
which were used in the entertainment, had
been darkeued, and the charm Of the affair wa
heightened by the soft light diifused from
numerous wax candles placed at the most effec.
tive points and Swallowed by pink coverings
The clouds on the outside hanging low and
heavy tended much to heighten the effective
ness OF this feature. Pyramids and other do
signs OF chrysanthemums and roses were part
Of the decorations

Another man, who has the reputation of

The officer some days ago received informa-
ton that Mclaughlin took part in the robbery,
and he also found q witness who cla med to
have seen him here on Friday before the rob-
berry. From information received it is not
charged that the prisoner was present when the
robbery actually occurred, but it is claimed
that he planned the entire job, and that his
plans were put into operation by others.
With this witness Detective Raft went to
that ''Yank' Mclaughlin was employed in the
office of the Philadelphia Record as paper
folder, and that he worked in the Office after
midnight just after the paper went to press.
This work, the officers say, he did merely as a
blind, and 1t gave him q good excuse for

rotary Willetts is chairman, called on the Pres
ident yesterday to pay respects and also to de-
liver to him document in which were set forth
the needs of the board as regards further legis-

Congress, and it has also made out a program
which will require legislation or executive or
ders to carry into effect. The board embodied
these in the form of letter to the President.

be given to it in order to enable it to carry out
its purposes. The result may be attained
merely by executive order or it may REQUIRE a
resolution or possibly an act of Congress-

Information has been received here by the

car was chartered for the purpose Of con-
veying him safely to Philadelphia. but while
the train was moving at the rate of forty miles
an hour the prisoner jumped from the car. and
although he was in irons he got away and his
custodians failed to recapture him.
Nothing was heard Of him for several years
and 1t was then learned that he had been serv-
ing six years sentence in northern New York
for robbing hotel

not there long before he again fell into the
hands Of the law. 40. =,
. TEN YEARS SENTENCE
This time his offense was more serious than
burglary. He met an old "pal' named James
Reilly, alias Davis, and asked him for some
money. The latter replied that he had no
FUNDS and Harris wanted him to get some cash
from his wife. Reilly declined to do this and
his abrupt answer did not suit Harris. The
latter drew revolver and attempted to shoot
his thieving companion but the weapon missed
ire, and Harris then made q lunge at his VIC
tim. He pushed the barrel of the revolver into
Reilly's eye and fractured his skull. The vic
tim died from the result Of his injuries and
Harris was convicted. He was sentenced to ten
years in prison and his term expired two years
ago.
PROBABLY ANOTHER HoFFA BURGLAR.
In addition to the indictment pending against
him here, Harris is also suspected of having
taken part in the robbery at Hoffa's jewelry
store several weeks ago, when the show window
was smashed and robbed of q quantity of
jewelry.

THE PARNELL ENIGMA.
A Solution Of the Sudden Change OF Base of
the Irish Conference.

the Irish Conference.
Special to the New York Herald.
LONDON HOUSE OF CoNMoSs). WEDNESDAY,,
Dec. 8, lS90.-Rather n curious turn of Affairs
has taken place in connection with the Parnell
crisis. One of his supporters, Mr.. Clancy, in
troduced an amendment pledging the party not
to accept any scheme of home rule which did not
give the Irish parliament control over the con-
stabulary, Judiciary and hand, 1t was inti-
mated that if this resolution were adopted Par
nell would reconsider his position. The meet
ing having heard ClancyS statement adjourned
without much further discussion till IL to-
morrow.
Several members of the party give me TO un-
derstand that In their opinion this will lead to
working compromise. Parnell, they say, In
becoming more amenable, but his friends are
far too well satisfied and confident TO allow
of the supposition that he proposes TO make
any important change in the case. III the
party pass Clancys resolution Parnell will have
got them all pledged hard and fast against
Gladstone's new scheme. That, at any rate,
means death 90 Gladstone's hopes. Parnen
could then go forth 90 ireland and declare that
having defeated an insidious att. mpt n irish
nationality and integrity. he proposed to with
draw for a time from the leadership.
He well knows that there would Immediately
spring up cry that the people could not trust
Sexton or Healy and that Parnell. who had
brought TO light the treachery of the liberals,
must remain at the head Of the party 10 guard
against it. In the face of such a cry as this no
one could stand for twenty-four hours against
him. He would have made a counterfeit re-
treat. merely to render his would-be successors
ridiculous and discredited. This is the true
meaning of the sudden break up OF the meeting
today and Of the so-called compromise.
Parnell will never make concessions which
would involve his permanent withdrawal. In
an s9ttlpmpn. a d "a lls
clearly 10 eventual victory. Those of his OPP
ponents, here or elsewhere who take an, other
view are merely falling into trap.

The End Of a Long Fight I'm the House-Pro-
visions of the Bill.
The international copyright bill, as an
nounced in The STAR, passed the House yester-
day, ending in that body one Of the most de-
terminedly contested fights in Legislative af-
fairs. The authors. the publishers and the
printers have long been working for the adop-
ton Of a copyright law which would protect
them against pirating publishers at home and
abroad. Session after session such bill has
been before Congress, but it has always failed
At the last Congress the Chase bill was passed
through the Senate, but failed in the House.
The bill that was passed yesterday was de-
featcd in the House at the last session. but a
motion to reconsider was made and upon that
motion the matter again came up, the House in
the sesond session overruling the House in the
firstsession. The bill has yet to pass the Senate,
but there appears to be no doubt that it has a
large majority in that body.
Mr.. Simonds Of Connecticut received many
warm congratulations upon the mastery way
in which he managed the fight.
PROVISIONS OF THE BILL.
The provision Of the bill that passed per-
mits foreigners to take American copyright on
the same basis, as American citizens in three
cases: First, when the milton of the foreigner
permits copyright to American citizens on sub
stantially the same basis rs its own citizens
second, when the nation Of the foreigner gives
to American citizens copyright privileges SINH
lar to those provided for in this bill; third,
when the nation Of the foreigner is party to
an international agreement providing FOR reci-
procity in copyright, by the terms OF which
agreement the United Sntes can become q
party thereto at its pleasure. A subsidiary
but important proposition Of the bill Is that ali
books copyrighted under the proposed act shali
be printed from type set within the United
States or from plates made thsrefrom.
