After q stormy Session Parnen Agrees to

LONDON, Dec. 4.-When the Irish men,
bers of parliament met to-day Parnell took
the floor. In part he said: "You know and
I know there is no man living. if l am gone.
who could succeed in reconciling the feel
ings of the Irish people to the Hawarden
proposals. As you wish to withdraw from
me this responsibility, I think it only rea-
sonable that you should give Judgment on
those matters for the benefit Of your con-
stituents. Therefore submit this resolu-
ton, that the party accept no home rule
bill unless it gives the immediate control Of
the police and power to deal with land. Mr..

majority at the elections which will render
him independent of both Irish and conser-
vative parties. If you throw me to him get

Healy expressed amazement at Parnell's
speech and protested against adding new
conditions to the Clancy resolution. Par
nell. he said, wanted to Withdraw the ques-
tion of leadership and substitute discus
straight conduct nor straight answers from
him. Parnell replied that he had given his
answer. He regretted that it was not CON
sidered straight, but by it he would stand
or fall.
Healy-" -"Then you will fall; what's the
use of furthur discussion?
tremendous uproar followed. Leamy
shouted "away with him." John OConnor
yelled '.crucify him." and scene of wild
disorder followed. When quiet was finally
restored Healy said nothing could change
his determination to depose Parnell. Tie
latter was not greater than a majority of
the party, yet he talked of defying it.
Healy believed there would be enough
craftsmanship left in the benighted maiori-
ty who opposed Parnell to take course as
statesmanlike as that of Parnell. Healy
read portions of Parnell's speech delivered
at q birthday banquet six months after
the Hawarden interview, declaring the in
dependence of the Irish party and eulogiz-
ing the alliance with Gladstone. An angry
duel Of words followed. Healy repeating
Parnell's recent remarks about Gladstone,
and finishing by asking, ''who broke the
alliance?'' Parnell and Nolan both ex-
claimed, "the Gladstone letter."
Healy retorted-'It resulted from the
stencil of a divorce COURT
Parnell replied that if the Gladstone
letter had not been written the alliance
would have been maintained.
Sexton said he had listened to Heal ey
with regret. Would Parnell resign. he
asked, if majority voted for the accept
ance of Gladstone's reply.
Parnell-"Certainly."
Barry asked for further explanation and
Parnell vehementiy replied: II have stated
with distinctness that I will not give fur.

Special dispatch to the Standard.
WASHINGTON, Sept 2S.-Sanders will
go 10 Montana 10 work for Carter directly
after the adjournment Of congress and
after the marriage Of his son, which is to
take place very soon. Carter is busy in
the congressional committee, but he is
becoming aware of the fact that there is
lively campaign on in his own state, and
he would be glad of an opportunity of as
suring himself that the committee made
at Butte is attending TO business. Carter
ought to be able to get away from the
committee so as TO spend two weeks on
the stump after he gets home.

can who opposes it. None of the Others

to be Juanita Sergeant, formerly Of San
Francisco, died in apartments at 1E
West Thirty-fifth street, last night from
asphyxiation, caused by inhaling illumi-
mating gas, which escaped from an open
burner. Whether il is a case OF suicide
or an accident will probably never be
known, but from the dead girls colored
servant IL Is learned that her mistress
came home somewhat the worse of liquor
about midnight Friday night and retired
tn her room with bottle of liquor. There
was half open window near the jet from
which the gas escaped, aud a sudden
draught Of air might have blown out the

LOST RIVER VALLEY.
An Excellent Mining, Agricultural and
Stock Growing Section.

STOCK GroWing section.
Special TO the Standard.
BELLEVUE, Idaho, Sept. 2s.-Houston,
on Lost river, is destined 10 be n copper
mining camp. OF course there is no
direct possibility Of its equalling Butte or
Anaconda, but reports from that remote
camp OF Logan county are most encour-
aging. The general understanding is
that the Houston smelter will be started
shortly after the lst of October. The new
purchasers of the Houston mine have
contracted for the delivery of go tons daily
at Blackfoot, the nearest railway point.
Those who are familiar with the five
claims which comprise the big copper
group and know the extent of the big ore
bodies, are not backward in declaring
that one of the greatest mining camps of
the west will spring up in Lost River val
ley within the next three years. Houston
is no longer dead town but bustling
little place, with the ring of the hammer
and the buzz of the saw i'm all directions.
The citizens have taken steps to secure
titles to their lots under the townsite
laws.
Lost River valley is an excellent agri.
cultural and stock growing region. and
the ranches, with good market right at
hand, will do their part towards the de-
velopment OF the country. Next year
will see very great increase in the grain
acreage. as well as large additions TO the
alfalfa fields. With big mines, with ex-
tensive agricultural and stock interests,
with large quantities of accessible timber,
and with an abundance of water, Lost
River valley ought certainly TO be one OF
| the most prosperous portions OF Idaho
within the next three years.

THE TARIFF BILL

Probability That n Vote VIII Be Taken
In the senate Tuesday.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-liow much time
the senate will consume in the discussion
OF the conference report on the tariff can
not he stated accurately, but the leaders
on both sides think vote can be reached
Tuesday. Final adjournment will come
the day after the report is disposed Of.
In addition to the tariff the general de-
iiciency bill is the only measure likely to
receive the attention Of the senate. That
is now pending in tine house. With the
exception Of the conference report and
the general deficiency bill the house has
completed its labors and waits upon the
senate. While waiting some measures
may he taken from the calendar aud
passed. An effort may he made To pass
the two shipping bills sent over by the
senate, but this will be strongly resisted
by the democrats, and unless special pro-
vision is made for their consideration the
effort TO pass them will likely fail.

THE STOCK YARDS FIRE.
Thirty-Two Tanks of Lard and Seven
Thousand Hog Carcasscs Licked Up.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-The Ang!o-Ameri-
can Packing company's establishment at
the stock yards was damaged by fire early
this morning to the extent of $3.50, 900.
The fire was one Of the worst the depart
ment ever had 10 deal with. The alarm
was turned in just before 2 o'clock, when
the flames were seen in the packing room.
When the first engine arrived this room
was mass of flames. Water had little
effect on the grease-soaked floors, and the
fire soon reached the room where 32 tanks
OF lard were located. These exploded
one after another and the melted lard
added fresh fuel to the flames. The heat
was so intense the flremen were forced
back and compelled to work from dis
tancc. The flames then spread to the
cooling room, where the carcasses
of nearly 1000 hogs were stored.
They burned like oil. Water seemed
useless and the 10 engine companies at
work made little headway. More engines
we're summoned, but two hours after the
fire started the roof fell in and the flames
seemed TO spread more rapidly than ever.
The hundred streams OF water being
poured on the fire appeared 10 have no
effect.
About this time the flames reached a
lot OF saltpeter and the flames from this
stiiled the flremen, overcoming several Of
them.
The fire marshals directed all the efforts
Of their men 10 preventing the spread Of
the flames from the Anglo-American
plant. Within short distance OF this
establishment are several other large
packing houses and for time il was
feared the flames would communicate 10
them. The ilremen succeeded, however,
In controlling il.
At 6 o'clock this morning il was seen 10
be impossible To extngush the burning
pork and water was thrown on il 90 keep
II down as much as possible. IL will have
10 burn out and il will probably be day
or two before il is entirely extinguished.
The fire department succeeded in saving
the other portions OF the Anglo-American
plant from serious damage. The loss is
entirely covered by insurance. The COM
pany that has been conducting the busi-
ness is composed Of Englishmen. Re-
Gently, however, n new company was
formed, known as Fowler Bros. limited)
incorporated in England with a capital of
10000.

Another Attempt to XIII the Czar.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 28.-Anotber
attempt has been made on the life Of the
car. This time the consperators planned
to wreck the train by which il was be-
lieved the car intended 10 travel from
st. Petersburg TO Warsaw. An obstruc-
tion was placed upon the track in the
shape Of five sleepers, which were tightly
wedged in between the rails. The train
which was supposed TO be carrying the
czar crashed into the barricade Of sleepers
and was thrown from the track. No de-
tails OF the outrage have been obtained
and il Is not known whether any arrests
were made in connection with the affair.
