TO EXPLORE ALASKA.
Congress Likely to Make an Appropria-
tion for the Purpose,

WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-A bill providing
for the systematic exploration of the in
terror Of Alaska is likely 10 receive consid.
Grafton by congress soon. II provides that
the secretary Of war shall send party
into the interior of Alaska. and appropri-
ates $4,000 to defray the expenses of the
expedition. 1t is proposed that the party
remain three years in order that the oh
servations may be absolutely Trustworthy
and finally set at rest the various and
conflicting reports regarding the Alaskan
territory.
Information is received at the Bureau
of American Republics" of the establish
ment Of a new line Of steamers on the
west coast Of South America, in oppoSi.
tion to the Pacific Steam Navigation com
pany and South American Steamship
company. The capital is mostly furnished
by merchants and bankers Of Valparaiso
and Santiago, and 100000 is already
subscribed. The minister of the interior
of Chill recommended the payment Of
subsidy similar to that now paid to the
South American Steamship company.
The bureau also received information
that the government OF Ecuador, which
hitherto had no coinage, has recently ar
ranged for a supply of silver money to be
coined at the national mint Of Chill.

Harrington turned, and advancing Co
wards Downey, who was at the head OF
Pardelrs opponents, shouted:
Coward! You are a disgrace to your
church"
The police again in,erfered and Par
nel's party finally got away onto the
road. Parnel's eyes panied him so that
he was soon obliged to stop the car
riage, and entered laborer's cabin
in fainting condition. A local
doctor attended him. The lime became
eaked beneath his eyelids, and the doe
tor was only able to remove some OF Il
by using silk handkerchief and some
hair oil he found in the cabin. The
physician finally advised Parnell TO drive
Immediately 20 Kilkenny. So he re-en-
tered the carriage and proceeded on his
journey. But again the pain became so
intense that n second halt was made,
this time at roadside public house,
where the doctor made further efforts TO
relieve the terrible pain which Parnell
was suffering. The doctor was able
at this place 10 procure a
quantity OF castor oil, which
he poured freely into Parnell's eyes. He
then tried to scrape of more OF the lime,
using for this purpose the point of an
ordinary lead pencil. The line, however,
had become crusted inside the eyelids
aud the doctor, with crude implements
at hand was only able 10 remove the
torturing substance slowly and with much
difficulty.
The doctor apologiKed TO Parnell for
causing him 80 much pain, but said Il WAS
unavoidable.
Parnell replied: "Never mind the pain.
Do your best. Don't let me lose my sight
Finding that he was unable to remove
all the lime, the doctor urged Parnell to
| drive with all speed Ia town, and this
was done. Arriving at the Victoria hotel
Parnell had to be led from the wagonette
to his room. He reclined IN an arm chair,
apparently slghiless aud suffering most
intense agony. lie still remains in the
hands of his doctor. Surgeon Hackett,
who attended Parnell along the road,
stated tonight that all the lime had been
removed but the patient is still suffering
intensely. He said he did not anticipate,
from present appearance. a permanent
injury to Parnell's sight.
Alta late hour tonight the physician
said Parnell was better and would he
able TO 20 out tomorrow.
CORK, Dec. i6.-A large crowd gathered
at the railway station when Mccarthy and
Healy and their associates came in and
made fierce and hostile demon
stration. Sticks were hrandished
and fights ensued between the
members Of the two factions. Priests
who tried to pacify the people, were
brutally attacked. Canon Lyons, who is
20 years old, was knocked violently TO
the ground. Mccarthy was hustled about
by the mob, and went to his hotel in a
carriage, followed by hooting crowd.
He addressed a meeting inside the hotel,
while the Parnellites h. Id rival meeting
outside.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-The coinage
committee of the house, having waited
in vain for any move from the speaker,
to-day appointed Mr.. Wickham as
chairman. course which IL has
been intimated in these dispatches
the committee would probably
have to adopt. Reed will now add new
man TO the committee at the meeting to-
day. Carter got favorable report oil his
bill TO allow the secretary OF the treasury
discretionary power 10 convert gold coin
into gold bars. The law is now mandatory
and the change is made TO prevent
too conv enient conversion OF gold for ex-
portation. This gold provision is one of
the things proposed for the bill the senate
emergency committee Is trying TO agree
upon. Up TO this time the silver men are
not satisfied with the different prop
os itions suggested by the caucus
to avert straight free coinage. Even the
New York papers of the most conserya-
tive views on the silver question, oppose
the hodge-podge of new bonds, intercon-
vertible, and threatening an increase of
the public debt, and several other propo-
sitions indicating confusion of mind.
The Times ilaily admits that free coinage
would be better than the bundle Of in
comprehensive heresies hatched out at
the republican gatherings. There is a
strong and growing feeling here, sympa-
thized in by some of the Northwestern
men, that what is wanted now 10 restore
confidence is a suspension Of financial
legislation.
There was little Montana feast here
last night. Mr.. Herschiield entertained
Colonel Sanders, Messrs. Carter and
Hathaway. The most remarkable thing
about the gathering was the absence Of
Power. He was not asked, and his alb
sence gave Sanders a relief like that

gard to the census in New York city. In
order I, appease the feeling of New York,
considering its large fraction, il would be
but fair and just 10 give that state an adj
ditional representative. The same was
true of Arkansas and Minnesota, and this
bill, while il might fit the arithmetic
theory Of the committee, did injury 10
those states.
Biggs Of California complained that San
Francisco had not had a fair enumera.
ton, not one enumerhtor there being a
democrat
Dunnell, closing the debate, spoke
earnestly in favor of the bill and eX'
pressed regret at the attack made on The
secretary OF the interior by Spinola. II
had never seemed reasonable TO the COM
mittee that New York should be granted a
special privilege. No other city had come
hero dIsregarding the law and he re-
gretted that the venerable gentleman
from New York should let fall from his
lips an attack upon an official Of the gov
ernment 10 which the latter could not re-
ply. The hour of o'clock having ar
rived, Dunnell demanded the previous
question.
Blount Of Georgia interjected motion
TO adjourn, and during the progress OF
the vote the democratic members took
their hats and oyercoats and left the hall,
showing disposition to break the quo
rum on the next vote. The motion TO adj
journ was lost-yeas lis. nays las.
Al the suggestion of Blount of Georgia,
il was agreed that after two hours de.
bate tomorrow the previous question
should be considered as ordered, and the
house adjourned.

BOISE. Idaho, Dec. lG-At II o'clock
this morning both houses assembled IN
their respective halls fully alive 10 the
momentous question soon 10 be present
ed, halloting for the frst United States
senator from Idaho. Precisely al the
hour Lieutenant Governor Wiely raped
the senate 10 order. The routine business
having been gone through with. the ques-
ton OF the law governing the ballot was
settled in favor of one senator at n time,
and the fun commenced. The secretary
called the roll and the FIRST senator, Henry
c. Branstelter. democrat. Of Ada county
arose and cast his vote for ex-governor
Edward A. Steven son. Thus the first vote
for United States senator in the state of
Idaho was east for democrat. The yoi-
ing proceeded regularly with the follow
ing result:
For nubol, senator's Rogers, Smith, Under
wood and MteT
For stevenson senators RfaustetteT, nsmp
For Mcconnell senators Brigham, Gum.

For shoup senators Gray, McPherson and
Fof Claggett Senators Fitch and IAugrisehe

The senate then adjourned.
In the house the concurrent resolution
OF the senate to proceed 20 the election of
United States senators was passed and at
l2:OS y. IN. n ballot was taken with the
following result.
For Dubois Briggs, Caldwell, Elhc, Fredrr.

The house then adjourned.
The combined vote Of the two houses
is as follows: Dubois IL, Stevenson 10,
Mcconnell ., Claggett s. Shoup g., Absent
Senator Delamar and Representative
Mills, both on account OF sickness. AT
Il IN. tomorrow both houses will meet in
joint session, when another ballot will be
taken. There is no telling how the mat
ter will go. All sides are claiming
new votes but all is conjecture.
Some claim that Dubois will
others that Shoup will lose two. but in re-
ali,y no one knows, and the way it looks
tonight is that long fight may be eN-
pectcd. Governor Stevenson received
the entire vote Of the democrats--l0 in
number. II would seem from the vote to-
day that the democrats hold the balance
of power.
Much work will be done tonight hut
conservatives say that there will be little
change in the vote tomorrow. Dubois
and Shoup came out in answer this morn
ing to the McConnell-C Claggett- Delamar
letter refusing b. consider their PROPOSE
ton. These two, therefore, are united
against the other three.

Bill BE Showed Aside.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-After the usual
numbers of petitions and memorials, a
letter was read from Chief Supervisor
Davenport protesting against the indis-
criminate use Of his name in connection
with alleged unscrupulous partisan
ship, and demanding an opportunity he
given him TO state his case before an in
vestigating committee. Morgan spoke on
Dolph's resolution, requesting informa'
ton as TO the abridgenent of franchise
until the expiration of the morning hour.
The election bill was then taken mp,
Morgan speaking on Buffers amendment
TO define the functions of election officers
as ministerial instead of judicial.
Senator Pasco to-day introduced an
amendment 10 the pending election bill.
II provides that il shall be unlawful for
any person TO pay or promise 10 pay money

visor of election; TO influence n vote, 70

object; TO endeavor 20 influence employees

prisonment for one year. IL also requires
officers Of political organizations TO give
the clerk Of the house an itemized
statement of receipts and expenditures
of political funds, aud the same state
ments are required from candidates for
representatives under like penalties.
After Morgan concluded his speech
against the election bill, discussion was
temporarily suspended and Pugh gave
notice Of an amendment requiring deputy
marshals, etc., to be of good moral char
acter and able 10 read and write.
Blair presented petitions from labor
organizations praying congress to sci
aside the consideration of the election bill
so that labor legislation might be acted
upon. Hoar objected and Kenna then
addressed the senate in opposition 10 the
election bill. Dolph took the floor, but
soon yielded on motion 10 adjourn.

VIEWS OF MR.. CLEWS.
In Letter to Window lie Offers q few
Suggestions on silver.

suggestions ON silver.
NEw YORK, Dec. 16.-Henry Clews has
addressed an open letter 10 the secretary
of the treasury in which he makes one or
two novel suggestions about silver leg
islation. Clews says: Congress should
amend the present silver law by insert
ing clause giving the secretary of the
treasury authority 10 change AT his dis.
cretion the periods of the purchase OF
silver. Al present the law provides for
4.5OO,0O0 ounces each month, which is alb
solute. In place Of this 10 provide for the
present money crisis, substitute at the
secretary's discretion authority 10 pur-
chase double the amount in December,
equal 20 100000 ounces aud
the same for January, February and
March, and suspend the purchase entirely
To provide for the same in April, May,
June and July next. What is important
for the people Of the country TO know for
a certainty is that they cannot rely upon
the present law being permanent and not
subject 10 changes of convenience every
congress. When the present law has
been In existence year II will bring out
new silver money aggregating in amount
about ss,o0,0O and each year thereafter
an equal sum, and in ten years from the
date Of the passage Of this act the amount
Of this money will be about S60,OOO,O0.
This annual increase | am ~ the opin.
ion will be ample for that class of money
aud II would be unwise 10 increase IL. II
certainly will be sufficient IL congress
will pass at All early date Sherman's bill
which provides for national hank bills TO
be issued up TO par value Of United States
bonds. This will increase that class OF
money Sl5,OOO,OC0"
