REMAins AT THE HELM.
a Message from ParneII to His Col
leagues.

LONDON, November 20.-Mr. Parnell sent
several Of his colleagues a communication to
the effect that as long as he is supported by
his colleagues and the Irish people he will
remain at the helm in politics. At the pres
ent critical juncLure he would be false to his
duty to Ireland if he should desert his posi-
tiOn because of private matters with which
politics have no concern. When his mission
Is accomplished and justice has been won
for Ireland, the people may choose whom
they will to conduct their local affairs. If
they desire others as leaders they will be
able to select men of their choice.
DUBLIN, November 2O.-The statement is

BERLIN, November 20-On account of the

Koch lymph 1000 physicians from all parts

pointed at not seeing Professor Koch or OBJ

tions of the lymph already used is evidenced
by the fact that such an immense quantity
sold that there are none now in the market.

COMPLIMENT TO MR.. REED.
The PromptIngs Of the Fear Of Him
Among Democrats.

NEW YORK, November 20.-The Tribune
today prints despatch from Washington
which says: That scheme is afoot in which
many prominent Democrats are concerned,
to have Democratic committee of the next
House investigate the September election in
the 1st Congressional district Of Maine, there
is excellent reason to believe There is no
other man in the Republican party whom
Democrats hate with so deep and malignant
a hatred as they do Thomas B Reed, and
the fact that he will be the leader Of the
Republican minority in the next House has
given the overfowing cup of their rejoicing
a strong flavor of gall, which is made to
taste unusually bitter by the reflection that
his majority was increased nearly 100 per
cent over the majority he received two years
ago.
Indications are not wanting that Senator
German is one of the most active promoters
of the scheme which is afoot. His personal
organ, "The Baltimore Sum-" through its
Washington correspondent mas disclosed
some of the details of the plot and at the
same time has incidentally betrayed the
deep interest felt by che Democratic national
committee in attempts to blast Mr.. Reeds
political prospects.
According to this correspondendent, the
initiative is to be taken, when the Lid Con-
gress assemblies, by prominent citizens in
Mr.. Reeds Congressional district, who are
ito present request, which would without
doubt be promptly concurred In, for an in
vestigation of the election, based on allega-
tions of wholesale bribery and corruption"
Mr.. Reed and the Republican party in the
1st Maine district have nothing to fear from
the result Of a thoroughly impartial and fair
investigation of the election, or even of a
partisan investigation. Certainly no Repub-
lican will throw straw In the way. The
fact that the Democrats have hatched such a
scheme Is a high tribute to MI. Reed, for it
shows that they hate and fear hin not less
as the leader Of a compact Republican min
Gritty than they do as the Speaker of Repub-
lican House.

ARMED SHIPS FOR RUSSIA.
How the Barkers Became Prominent
In Financial Circles.

PHILADELPHIA, November 20.-Abraham
Barker, the founder Of Barker Bros. & Co..
bankers and brokers, who failed today, Is
one Of the best known inanciers In the
country. lie was formerly president Of the
stock exchange, Wharton Barker, the other
member of the firm, said this afternoon:
"The assignment was unavoidable. The
people who owed us money and upon whom
we depended did not pay us. OF course the
condition of the money market has much to
do with the trouble. The step was necessa-
ry for the protection of our customers"
The first matter which brought the house
prominently before the general public was
the announcement in 1878 that they had
become the financial agents Of the Russian
government in the United States. This mis-
sion at that time was highly important in
view of the war between Englend and Rus
sia. which then seemed imminent. In car
rying out the instructions of the Russian
government Barker Bros. &c Co. procured
four ships of war. suitable for ordnance, and
completely armed and equipped them at
total expenditure of several millions OF dol
lars, the whole transaction being c0nsum-
mated to the utmost satisfaction OF Russia.
Wharton Barker is president of the Finance
Company of Pennsylvania. and director of
the Investment Company OF Philadelphia,
of which latter company he was formerly
vice president. At the Finance Company's
offices preparations were made for an antici
pated run on deposits A number OF checks
we're presented during the last hour of the
days business and some accounts drawn
out. All the drafts were promptly met and
Treasurer Stern assured number OF per
sons who had accounts there that the COM
pany was entirely solvent and would pay
everything presented In the form of checks
or other demands. The failure of Barker
Bros. & Co. was caused largely by various
improbable investments. They we're identi-
fed with a number of railroad schemes
which prudent finaneiers and capitalists
came found 1t impossible to realize upon
them.
A syndicats has been formed for the pur-
pose of advancing to the Finance COM
pany of Philadelphia. any amount OF money
that may be necessary to meet outstanding
liabilities. 1t is asserted the company is GER
tainlv solvent

says: Gen. Brooke and the military, number
ing few less than 400, arrived at Pine Ridge
agency at seven this morning, after the
roughestfOrced march ever experienced by
the oldest member Of the command. The
troops suffered materially from the cold dur
ing the march Of 25 miles, which was begun
at II o'clock. The roads were so rough that
several wagons were overturned on the way.
A teamster was buried under one and his hip
broken. Many long delays were caused by
such accidents. There were no hostiss
to meet the soldiers when they arrived
at the agency. They at once went into camp
on plateau commanding the entire valley.
Jack Red Cloud and a lot Of fanatics were at
Wounded Knee, % miles away, putting the
finishing touches to the four days ghost
dance. This is the day set for the Messiah
to appear in the form Of a buffalo. Up to
noon no stray Messiah nor buffalo has ap-
peared on the reservation. The Indian po-
lice have all resumed duty. Most OF the hos
tiles on the reservation are at the villages
where they are holding their horses in def
ance of the orders Of the agent.

unconfrmed report was received today that
Sitting Bull is In irons. At the house of
Railroad Commissioner Hallon, 12 miles
west of Mandan, 60 refugees are staying for
safety. Pickets are out at night and rules

Sioux on the reservation, whom the Aricka-

LOOKING FORWARD TO 'NINETY-TWo.
A Washington Correspondents Ideas
of Presidential Prospects.
Reed, elaine and Mckinley Stand In
tho Van Today,
A Democratic Scheme Which Is a
Compliment to Mr.. Reed.

BOSTON, November 20.-A Washington de-
spatch t. this evenings Traveller, says !:
Whatever the causes which brought defeat
to the Republican party at the polls fort
night ago. not one of the leaders places the
blame upon Thomas B. Reed. BE is still the
chosen leader of the party, and is foremost
in the race for the presidency.
Next to him are James G. Blaine and Ma
jor Mckinley, but neither of these men has
the strength Of Reed, both 10 the Republican
party and among the voters throughout the
country. Pennsylvania is divided In its
preference, and Blaine evidently is the fav-
orite Of the minority. He Is backed by
Thomas B. Cooper, formerly chairman of
Blaine's personal friend, and who assures
the ''man from Maine" that he can count
safely upon solid delegation from Pennsyl-
vahia in the national convention. Opposed
to this we have the declaration of Congress
man Bayne that Mr.. Cooper has no author
stone state, and that he does not voice the
sentiment or preference of the majority Of
the party.
Congressman Bayne was one of the most
active in securing the new rates upon tin in
the Mckinley bill, and his preference is for
Major Mckinley, with Speaker Reed as his
next choice.
The Democrats, of course, will nominate
Grover Cleveland, though HilPs friends are
sure to make things very lively for him in
the convention, and the two men may kill
each other. 1t is the policy of the Demo-
cratic leaders to decry both Speaker Reed
and Major Mckinley, and point TO the Re-
publican defeat of fortnight ago, as a di-
rect Reputation Of each.
Their intention evidently is to create fac
tional contest within the Republican party
by stirring up a personal antagonsm be-
tween the leaders,@but it. will not succeed.
Reed today is as much candidate for the
presidential nomination of '92 as ever, and
he is quite as strong and popular among the
leaders of his party. He may not be the
choice, but If he is not, no man in the con
ventton, but Blaine. has as much influence in
naming the candidate.
The states on the Republican ticket for '92
will probably be Maine and Illinois, though
possibly Ohio may have the call. Will it be
Blaine or Reed, Mckinley or Sherman? We
shall see.

DELusioS AND SAD TEMPER.
The Situation as Described By An
officer Of the ARMY.

CHICAGO. November 20.-This afternoon
Gen. Miles received letter dated at Camp
Poplar River, Montana, November II, 1890,
from one Of the army officers at that post.
The writer says: Captain Wheaton, com
manding here, thinks all the Indians on the
reservation believe in the Messiah craze He
says even the more intelligent half.breeds
believe In 1t. Some of the younger Indians
recently procured new Winchesters. The
Indians here, as a whole, are not well armed.
ScUbey, the Indian agent here, also thinks
the belief In the Messiah practically unGni-
nous. There has been no very great excite
ment here upon the subject, nor any relig-
iOus dances, but there Is a deep and univer-
sal interest and a belief that there will be
astonishing and supernatural manifestations
10 their behalf before very long On the ed
October one Of Sitting Bulls lieutenants,
White Gut, and two other Sioux, came here
and preached the new doctrine. They de-
nOunced the schools and told the Iudi ,ns TO
provide themselves with arms and ammuni-
ton and meet the other Indians next spring
In the Black Hills country. They were or
dered of the reservation and went TO Wood
Mountain. uoTth Of the British line, 10 carry

who lives 16 miles away, was at the agency
today. He has no belief In the new craze
He says Sitting Bull has been particularly
'b&d-hearted' since the death OF his only sur
viving child year ago. He has lot OF very
ugly Indians about him who encourage each
other. They talk, DOW WOW, aud keep up
the excitement TO such pitch that there Is
danger OF bloodshed before things can be
quieted. There Is no intention Of commit
ting any 0utrages at present. An Indian
says the Gros Ventres reservation Indians
are excited over the Messiah and are more
