itself into committee of the whole for its
consideration. In response to question
by Hooker, Mckinley stated that so
to the elections bill was as
signed to the select committee
on election of president, vice president and
members of congress. Hooker expressed
desire to amend the resolution, to send
that portion of the message to the commit
tee on judiciary. Mckinney announced a
Willingness to have the amendment offered,
but objected to debate, as he was acting by
courtesy of the chairman of the committee
on Indian affairs, to which committee the
day had been assigned. He therefore
moved that the committee rise.
The motion was agreed to, and on mo-
tion of Perkins the House again went into
committee of the whole on bills reported
from the committee on Indian affairs.
The first bill called up was the Senate bill
for the relief of the Mission Indians i'm

shall be TO select a reservation for each

Republican Caucus Considers Silver
Question PuyaiIup Commission
Ready at Last--Milier for Supreme
Bench, Spooner for Attorney General.

WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. 10.--The Repub-
lican senators were in caucus until late
hour tonight, endeavoring to agree upon
some plan of facilitating business in the
Senate. The Western senators were We
helnent in urging the necessity of irnmedi-
ate action to relieve the stress in
financial circles. The result of the
caucus was this agreement, that
the elections bill be kept before
the Senate this remainder of the week at
least, with a view to exhausting the de-
batting powers of the minority. The Sem
ate will sit thirteen hours daily, from 10 a..
nj. until Ii p. m., with an intermission for
dinner. If this does not avail by the end
OF the week, the caucus committee will
present cloture resolution to another
caucus Monday.
To meet the views of the silver senator's
the chairman was authorized to appoint q
committee of six senators to act with the
Republican members of the finance COM
mittee in devising some scheme of financial
relief for the country, to report next Mon
day. At that caucus, it is understood, the
policy of the Republican senators will be
nnally determined

O'BRIEN's PAPER SEIZED.
Parnel1 Gusts the Editors-Recaptured
at Midnight.

DUBLIN, Dec. 10.-The newspaper United
ireland has got into trouble through persist
ent advocacy of the retirement of Parnel.
who IS one of the directors of the company
owning the paper. Acting in this capacity he
today seized the paper, stopped the issue of
the current edition, and elected Acting
Editor Bodkin. Parnell's agent is in pos
session of the paper. When Bodkin
entered the Office he found Parnell in pos
session. Parnell, in the presence of three
directors, read the articles of asso-
citation under which the company
was organized, and then ordered the sher-
lit to eject Bodkin. The latter made an
Intellectual resistance. A desperate row
occurred in the downstairs Office between
the sheriff's officers and the sub-editors.
Sticks and stools were used. and the
air was filed with flying missiles. Fin
ally, after sharp struggle, the sub-editors
were put out of the building. The news of
the seizure created great excitement. A
mob surrounded the office. Parnell later
addressed the staff, the members of which
promised to stay by him during the re-
mainder of the crisis. Leamy was
placed in charge. 1t is stated
that Parnell owns 474 out of the
500 shares of the capital stock of the COM
pany, DR.. Joseph e. Kenny and Justin
Mccarthy the remainder. The editors
who were rejected will sue Parnell for as
sault. Bodkin, in an interview subsequent
to his removal, said that the edition of the
paper which Parnell destroyed, contained
many resolutions adopted by the provin-
cial branch of the National League oppos-
ing Parnell, and also cable dispatch from
OBrien saying:
Abide by my instructions. Iinsist moderately.
but firmly, on Parnelrs retirement as sine qua
aoa."
On the street today a hostile crowd
threatened Healy, who was compelled to
seek the protection of the police He was
at the Office of the National League when
the paper was seized.
The United ireland will reappear tomor-
row, but its policy will be changed, and
henceforth it win be Parnellite organ.
MIDSIGHT-Late tonight strong party
of Parnell's opponents made descent
upon and recaptured the Office of United
Ireland. The invaders destroyed all the
leaders which had been prepared by
Leamy, who was installed as editor TODAY
by Parnell, and turned all the matter they
found set up into the fire. Then they took
possession of the ledgers and other books
and documents belonging to the paper.
All this was done in the name of William
O'Brien. A strong posse from various la
borers' societies was left as garrison,
with instructions to remain on guard day
and night, and resist by force any further
intrusion by Parnell and his friends.

ate Reagan gave notice of several amend
ments which he proposed to offer to the
elections BILL
The committee on naval affairs reported

engineer corps of the navy under~the act

AN ANTI-PARNELL MANIFESTO.
Appeal to the Irish People Not to
Quarrel With Gladstone.


LONDON, Dec. 10.-The anti-Parnell
members of the Irish parliamentary party
have issued manifesto to the Irish peo-
pie. In this they say, in part:
Parnell, disregarding our appeals to remember
the country, has evineed an ill-judged determi-
nation to maintain his untenable position, thus
threatening to plunge Ireland into a conflict
which may overwhelm her and cause her pres
ent fair prospects to disappear forever 1t is the
duty of Irishmen now, irrespective of all eonsid
Grafton OF feeling either for Parnell or those
differing from him, to adopt a course that will
tend TO save Ireland from destruction.
The signers enumerate at length the
reasons for their action. They specify
the charges against Parnell as follows:
First-He speaks as il he was the injured
party, whereas he alone is responsible for the
present deplorable situation.
Seeond-He pledged himself to repel the
charges in connection with the OShea case, but
when the time came he remained silent.
Third-He does not hesitate to renounce and
denounee multitudes of the English friends of
Irish liberty as English wolves.
Fourth-The English evolves and the Irish
bishops express the same opinion of Parnell,
and he cannot mend matters by calling nick
names. Ii Parnell is reelected the Sorry govern
ment will resume its power, coercion viii re-
ceive new lease, and the struggle for homo
question for the Irish nation is: "Lose all for
Parnell, or win all without him.
The signers refuse to abandon Gladstone
for Parnell or to insist on the Liberal
leader revealing his plans for home rule,
which action, they say, would be foolishly
to give an advantage TO Ireland's foes.
They refuse TO believe Gladstone desired to
dictate. He was bound to publish his con-
viction that the retention Of Parnell in the
leadership would wreck home rule. The
signers offered Parnell an opportunity of
temporary retirement, with view
to eventual reinstatement, but he never
gave the faintest chance of settlement.
His fatal manifesto was an appeal to the
hatred between the people Of Great Britain
and Ireland, and makes it impossible for
him hereafter to cooperate with the Lib
eral party. The signers never deserted
Parnell, but he deserted them, and the
honor of Ireland is safe in their hands,
through good or evil fortune.
The signers pledge themselves to remain
an independent party, thus insuring final
victory for the Irish cause under the
auspices of the alliance of the British
democracy and the Irish people.

NEW MOVE FOR FREE COINAGE.
McCreary Preparing Timetable Resolu-
tions to Come Before the House.

tions to Come Before the House.
WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 10.-fSpecial. T.
Representative McCreary, of Kentucky, is
preparing resolution which he hopes
will result in the silver men of the House
being given an opportunity of declaring
themselves. The resolution will provide
that the United States delegates to the
pam American monetary conference to be
held in this city January next be III
structed to advocate before it a bimetallic
standard, and the adoption by the people
represented in the conference of the policy
OF the free coinage of silver. IfMcCreary's
resolution were referred to the commit
tee on coinage, weights and measures
1t would be Immediately put to sleep by
that committee. 1t is therefore the inten-
tlon to have it referred, if possible, to the
committee on foreign affairs, two Repuhli-
can members of which Morrow of Cali
fornia and Coleman of Louisiana, would, it
is expected, vote with the Democrats in its
favor. Upon the question of reference
there will be a debate, and it is predicted
that many Republicans who are in favor
of free coinage, but who were held back by
Speaker Reed during the last session, viii
change front.

WASHINGTON CrTY, Dec. 1o.-Secretary

600, of which over 81, ,000, 600 was at $1.23N

$1.2355s. This makes the total purchases to
date S7,9o5,s5O.
The secretary of the treasury issues no
tice this afternoon that the per cent.
bonds accepted today completed the
amount which he offered to purchase, and
bond redemptions viii therefore, for the
present, be limited to AIS. Mr.. Window
will also purchase for the Union Pacinc
