I.oNpoN, Dec. 3.-The vote in the
Irish Nationalist Conference last night
on Mr. Nolans diIatory motion provld-

the question Of Mr. Parnelrs retirement
and iis eventual consideration in Dub

Those friends Of the struggling

Nolan amendment indicated that, in

Those Of the Irish following who 10
not believe that In The acts Of any one
man depends the fate Of their country,
who care little for the personality or
ambitions Of Mr. Parnell or any other
leader, but who do care vastly for the
welfare of the cause of Ireland, view
with dismay breach which seems TO
widen with each passing hour.
The comments made by such men to.

vituperative language, angry temper,

THE FEDERAL ELECTION BILL.

The split among the Republican
members of Congress on the Silver
Bill was hailed with delight by
the Democrats. They Joined with
the Free Coinage Republicans anu
passed free coinage bill which
was rejected by the House of Rep.
resentatives.
A conference committee Of the
two branches was appointed and
compromise measure agreed
upon.
In the meantime, the Democrats
bent all Of their energies to per.
suade enough free-coinage Repub-
licans TO unite with them to defeat
this conference measure. Their
efforts failed and the Conference
Silver Bill for the purchase OF
4,5OO,000 ounces OF silver was
passed by the Senate.
The House concurred in this ac
ton and the Bill will be signed
by the President.
1t was reported that the Demo
Gratis voted with the Free Coinage
Republicans with the understand
ing that they would vote against
the consideration OF the Federal
Election Bill this session.
From the present indications il
appears that this was not true.
The Senatorial Caucus disclosed
the fact that the Republican mem
bers of that body are almost unani-
mOusly in favor Of the passage OF
the Bill.
This has been quite a surprise
to the Democrats who thought diff
ferently.
They now threaten to talk indefi
nately i'll order to defeat the pend
ing measure. Under the present
rules Of the Senate there is nc
limit to debate.
The senatorial Caucus appoint
ed a Committee TO confer with the
Senate Committee on Rules anC
report plan by which the
present difficulty can be obviated
Some of the Senators claim thai
the Bill can be passed without 4
change of the rules.
1t Is evident that the Senate is
determined &c rally TO the demand
OF the people and pass this meas
ure III favor of honest elections.
Moreover the Senators are being
flooded with resolutions passed 10y
Republican clubs i'll favor OF til,
measure. 1t is evident that Tia,
North is thoroughly aroused an,
the result will be an upheava
against the Democratic Party ant
its methods, unknown TO modern
times.
