AFTER DILLON AND O'BRIEN.
A Messenger From Dublin Trying to Reach
the Eugitiyes.

PrrTsBURG, December 4.-Ther'
passed through the city to-day maj
who has important business with Mcssrs
Dillon and O'Brien, the Irish fugitive:
from English courts.
Wm. Boyle, of Dublin, has been sem
to this country by the leaders of tho
Home Rule party on an important mis-
lion to these two gentlemen.
Ii will be remembered that AT the con
clusion of the O'Shea divorce proceed
ings in England, in which case Parnel
was named correspondent, the two fugl
tives who are called leaders and who are
members of Parliament, wrote an adj
dress repudiating Parnell's leadership
on account of his supposed dishonor
Their address bore considerable weight,
and added to Gladstonc's and Nor
ley's letters has had the effect ol
almost causing Parnelfs overthrow,
and at least leaving his future
leadership in exceeding doubt.
Mr.. Boyle was exceedingly rcticcnt'
when approached, concerning his mis-
sion to this country. He said his des'
tination was Chicago, where tonight he
expects to meet Dillon and O'Brien, ana
that his business here is with them.
Persons on the train from New York
last night gathered from Mr. Boyle
conversation that he is the bearer OF
documents from prominent Irish lead
ers.
The portent of the documents demand
of the two fugitives an Immediate re-
traction of their denunciation OF Parnell
for the sake of the cause.
When Mr.. Boyle was questioned on
this point, he turned quickly with:
"Who told you that?"
"Is it true?" was asked.
.I'll not answer that question. can
not But I'll say this. The Irish peo-
ple will not repudiate Parnell; they II
stand by him to the last, depend upon
that"
Mr.. Boyle had not heard that Dillon
and OBricn and their party had cancel
led their engagements, but he said that
nrominent members Of the Home Rule
following, who are in this country. are
desired TO return to Ireland. lie also
believes that if Dillon and OBrlen re-
.ract their denunciation of Parnell the
effect will be that he will continue to
lead the Home Rulers. Upon the CON
ference between these two men ana Mr..
Bovle, therefore, seems to depend MI
Parnell's future.
Father Sheedy was seen this morning
in reference to the reported cancelling

The Annortionment Bill.

WASHINGTON, December 4.-Chair-
man Dunnell. of the Census Committee,
said to-day that the committee would
begin consideration Of the apportion-
ment bill next week and that he did not
doubt that it would be before the House
before the Christmas holidays. He was
of opinion that the question raised by
New York city as to the accuracy OF her
enumeration should not delay prepara-
ton of the apportionment bill. If II
should be decided after fair and full
consideration that New York city's
claim was just, the matter could be
fixed so as to give New York member
shin TO which she was entitled.

The comic opera Of "Said Pasha" will
be presented at the Opera House to-
morrow night. "Said Pasha" T. as dis
tinctively success as any comic opera
in the past five or six years. There are
little suggestions from Erminie IN IL,
particularly in the comedy roles. But
where Erminie was trihe coarse and
shading into the broad. the fun OF
"Said Pasha" is rich and as refined as
though Gilbert were the author. No
part Of the opera is dull or dark, for the
music is Of that peculiarly happy kind
that skilled musicians can appreciate
and the unframed ear drink In with an
abandonment Of delight. The company
as a whole Is pleasing and the chorus
better than is generally found. The
ladies are attractive and young, the
stage setting very good, while the act
ing and singing Of the principals call
forth enthusiastic plaudits.
