LONDON PRESS COMMENTS.
1t Is Generally Conceded That Parnel1 HIS

1t Is Generally Conceded That Parnell Has
Not Lost Ground.
LONDON. Dec. 3.-The Post, commenting on
the Parnell meeting yesterday says: ''The divi-
sion on Mr.. NClan's amendment shows that the
mixed character of the kilograms from Ireland
I'D America is responsible for the protracted
&c bates. Mr.. Parnells considerable minority
leaves him still the only certain and recognized
leader of any ascertained following. The DOW
ers of the anti-Parnellite Irishmen have come
to somewhat abrupt ending Mr.. Parnell
may appeal to Cork with every hope of success
and. holding the purse string, may gradually
eliminate his opponents"
The Ee,cs says: MIR. Parnell continues the
fight with vigor and a tenacity which COM
mand the admiration OF even his bitterest OPP
pOnents. The result Of the division Ia signif-
cant. but not satisfactory. Mr.. Parneli Is deaf
to the protests against his unfair conduct in
the chair. He may propose every town in Ire
land as substitute for rejected Dublin in Or
der to gain time. II the majority really mean
business and are prepared to cooperate with
the liberals they ought to insist upon de-
cisive vote without delay.
The Times says: '.Mr. Parnell is likelier to
gain recruits than to lose adherents. Many of
the party are probably sorry now that they
revOlted against master so imperious, inn
placable and full of resource. He may stave
of division for long time, and will COM
mand compact minority and remain presi-
clined to uIderrate his strength or its serious
consequences
He will regain his old popularity with the
extremists in Ireland and America, who have
always supplied him with funds and will rejoice
over his separation from Gladstone. Mr.
Parnell knows how to play on these responsible
strings"
The Standard says: ''The final vote, even
when reached will only be tho beginning Of
the real conflict 1t is estimated that thirty
three Of the Irish members are with Parnell
and fifty-tive against him, but against this de-
fection of his colleagues he may get the sup
port Of the league in Dublin. He holds the
trumps in the election game. 1t is not ques-
ton Of q righteous cause, but of winning one. ~
The Daily Telegraph says the indications at
present arc in favor of Parnell leading strong
party in parliament, although he will probably
not have a majority Of the Irish party at his
back.
The Chronicle thinks that ass Mr. Healy has
discovered his error in leaving all the talk to
the supporters of Mr.. Parnell the reaction in
favor of Parnell may be checked, but it says
that Parneh, at the head of compact
minority. will be a more powerful force in par
lament than Mccarthy aided by three Jealous
lieutenants. The Chronicle commends to the
notice Of the speaker of the house of commons,
Mr.. Parnelrs drastic treatment of his leading
opponents.

porter attributed to him that he had sent to
the Commissioners five different times for in

and that no response had been received. The
Commissioners say that upon their represent

take the work required they were informed by
the census bureau that special agent would

The mon escaped from the officers on the
night OF the arrest and were not recaptured

did not do the firing. Hawkins, after telling
Of the arrest and escape. said that he was shot
He could not say who shot him, but the officers
were the only persons who were there to do it,
He said that the bullet was still in his leg
There was a hole in his trousers and wound
in his leg.
The officers further stated that they did not
hear the reports of pistol shots.
Both Hawkins and Bryant said that one of
the officers struck the former with his club.
DR.. Pool of the health Office was called in to
examine Hawkins leg and he said that the

Apecu!iar accident was reported to the en-
gineer department late yesterday afternoon. 1t
appears that a horse going down G street be-
tween 9th and It'll streets northwest. stepped
upon a loose sewer cover with its hind legs
and fell down the whole distance between
the surface Of the street and the sewer
proper. A large sewer runs along this street;
in fact, large enough for a horse to
walk about in, so that from the time Of his ac-
cident, which happened at about 13O O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, to 1890 last night when
he was taken out. he promenaded up and down
the sewer. The sewer department came to his
rescue, and, after removing large portion Of
the pavement, placed derrick i'll position and
hoisted the horse out, none the worse for his
accident.

A Plan Proposed for Preserving the Pleasure
Grounds.

A Plan Proposed for Preserving the Pleasure
Grounds.
An effort is being made by German-American
citizens TO preserve the Schuetzen Park, on 9Th
street. as a public resort. The park has been
In existence about Twenty-Five years, and during
that time has been the scene of the annual
SchuetZenfest. besides many other gatherings
of a joyful character. The bonds by which
money was raised to pay for the park are now
held by comparatively few members. Half
dozen men own fully half the bonds. on which
interest was suspended some years ago.
As matter of justice to them it had finally
been decided TO sell out. The park would have
been sold some weeks ago, but the proceedings
were postponed in Difference TO the desires of
citizens who believed it might be possible TO
make an adjustment of the affairs of the Nerein
on stock company plan. The bondhoidcrs
having agreed to waive their right TO claim 6
per cent interest and take per cent instead it
was calculated that these aggregate claims
against the property We're 100000. The plan
proposed was to issue IL. 600 shares of stock at
80 a share and with the 100000 thus
raised clear off all the Indebtedness.
The thirty days postponement to permit an
effort to be made to carry this scheme into
effect expired Sunday and mass meeting was
held at the park that day. over which Mr.. John
Hockemeyer presided. Then about three him.
dred and fifty shares were signed and the
opinion was expressed that if more time was
given the necessary number of shares could be
placed to insure the success of the project and
the preservation of the grounds for pleasure
purposes. The committee intrusted with the
sale of the park. representing the active men,
beers Of the Nerein, were requested by resolution
TO postpone any action looking to the DISPOSE
ton Of the property until after the middle of JAM
uary. That committee is composed of Messrs
Simon Wolf, chairman; John L. vogt Geo. j.
Seufferle, Charles Croft and John Hocke-
meyer. The committee comprises the largest
holders of the bonds. Mr.. Wolf told a STAR
reporter today that he had not vet called his
committee together to consider the request for
further postponement. The bondholders now
interested financially in the park propose to
5000 to be subscribed by the public.

Verdict on the Death Of Man Who Trusted
to Christian Science.
CHICAGO Dec. 3.--A special dispatch from
Marshall, NO., says: Isaac Hamilton, aged
fifty-sevsn, prominent farmer of this vicinity,
died Monday Of typhoid fever. His wife and
daughter, it is alleged, believe in .he doctrine
of Christian Science" and for three weeks be-
fore his death the patient had no medicine
or medical treatment. About week after
he was taken sick physicians were summoned,
but after they had made few calls
Mrs. Hamilton instructed them not to come any
more, her husband finally consenting to try the
efficacy of Christian Science" The coroner
returned a verdict to the effect that the de-
ceased came to his death by the criminal neglect
of those who had him in charge after medical
treatment had been abandoned. (.

The bill passed by the Senate in reference to

done as the House bill comes up at the first
