DUBLIN, Dec. 1.-THE struggle for the
possession Of the paper United Ireland as
sumed a new phase this morning, and again
Parnell is in possession. The opponents of
Parnell. who succeeded last night in fore

Money Due Them.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Gen. Miles to-day re-
ceived report from Capt. Conrad to the
effect that 1,700 Indians at tho Yankton
Sioux agency are now receiving rations
enough for barely two days out of the week
and are starving. Crops have failed and
although they are willing to work, there is
no employment for such number during
the winter. On ration day they are go
famished that they cannot resist eating Mt

plete Irish Independence"
Still Another Manifesto,


NEW York. Dec. 1.-THE Irish envoys
now in this city issued long manifesto
Tonight. They cay that when they reached
tnls country six weeks ago the Irish cause
was marching to certain victory. It was
conceded on both sides that the general
election must bring home rule majority.
Inc dissolution of parliament could not be
deterred beyond two wears and probably
would take place within twelve months.
All That was necessary to secure triumph
was that the delegates should raise the
necessary funds to preserve evicted tenants
from destruction and keep their organiza-
tion uncrushed so rs to force the coercion
government to force a general election. In
less than two weeks they had secured near
~ one hundred Thousand dollars and it was
certain that sufficient sum would be SUBJ
scribed to put an end to the last hope OF the
coerclonists. They set forth at length their
unswerving allegiance to Parneli in the past
and deplore the absolute necessity of his
retirement at least temporarily.

Still the Dance Goes On.

BISMARCK, N. D., Dec. 11.-Major Nc
Laughlin, agent of the Standing Rock In
dian agency. was in town to-day. He says
there is no danger of an outbreak and never
has been. Sitting Bull and his followers
are still keeping up the ghost dance on
Grand river, but the wild enthusiasm is
rapidly subsiding. The major thinks
that within a week more the weather will
stop the dancing. He says the reports from
Standing Rock which reported cattle
stampede by the Indians and an exchange
of shots near Buffalo Gap, is a canard. No
cept their own stock.

BUT TEMPORARY RELIEF.
Proposed Expedients to Relieve the
Present Situation Are
But Shifts.
Recurrence Of stringency Must
Come With the Single Gold
Standard.
A Broader Basis of Primary Money De.
manded-Eimetalism Must be
Re-establlshed Soon.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE national ex
ecutive silver committee to-day issued al
address to congress. The committee be.
iieves the present money stringency and
breaking down Of credit on both sides oi
the Atlantic is mainly, if not entirely, due
to the attempt to conduct the worlds
growing business on the narrowing basis Of
gold as single money standard, and again
appeals to congress to delay no longer the
restoration Of silver to unlimited use ae
money. with all the right of coinage and
legal tender possessed by gold. All at
tempts to relieve the present situation by
increasing the volume of credit currency,
or multiplying credit expedients, can afford
but temporary relief. With the gold sup
ply constantly diminishing, population in
creasing, and business rapidly expanding,
recurrence of the present situation must
come. forcing periodical adjustment
of prices and business to the ever
contracting scale of the single
gold standard. What is needed
is broader basis of primary money con-
slant and adequate in supply. Bemetalism
must be re-established. There never has
been and is not likely to be in the future
too much gold and silver to supply the
worlds needs for money.
10 supply the probable population of the
United States alone for the next century
with the same per capita We now have will
require a production of the metals as great
as the entire production of the American
continent since it's discovery by Columbus.
With the free coinage of silver the differ
ence between silver bullion and silver coin
must at once disappear and end silver spec
ulation. II everybody can have silver metal
converted into coin. free of cost, at the rate
there can be no Difference between the value
of given weight of silver in bullion or
coin.
The committee believes the fear that free
coinage would destroy the parity of gold
and silver, on our ration of sixteen to one,
not we'll founded. Certainly this cannot
take place and continue permanently until
enough silver has been coined to provide
us with our full distl ibutive share Of tho
worlds money Independently Of gold. Our
share at present is 81, 800, 100000, Of which
at least $3.50. .O0O, 900 is gold. Silver enough
must be coined, then. to give the full 91,-
500, ,OO0, 600 besides gold, and besides enough
to take the place of retired banknotes and
supply the requirements of our increasing
and growing Industries. Be-
sides, the proposed issue of new paper
money will tend in the Same degree to dis
place gold that silver will. Which, then, is
the best, metallic money, constant in sup
ply, selfregulating, and that needs no re-
or additional credit money to be
some time in gold? that becomes
dearer as the demands upon it
increase? The people demand that their
right have recourse to both
gold and silver for money be restored to
them,

Union Pacific Engineers.

oMAHA, Dec. l1.--lspecial. THE loco
motlve engineers of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn will meet in annual convention here
tomorrow. The object of the convention
has not been announced. but it is under
stood that one of its main purposes will be
to establish an equitable system of the road
south OF the main line. Since the separa-
tion OF these branches from the main diyi-
sion the old system of promotion according
to the length of service has been disregard
ed and this has caused great dissatisfaction.

vance of five cents per hundred pounds in

EVEN ABOVE HOME RULE.
Gladstone Says the Great Cause of
Liberalism Transcends the
Irish Question.
Parnell Breaks Into the Office OF
United Ireland With
q Crowbar.
VIM. O'Brien, the Editor. Says He Has
No Interest in the Paper
His Tour.

LONDON, Dec. 11.-Gladstone arrived to-
day at Retford. At the depot he addressed
a meeting of 1900 persons. He said the
continuance of Parnell in the leadership
would be fatal to home rule in Ireland
Scotland and Wales. Parnell was no longer
leader of the Irish nationalists, who had
separated themselves from him. He (Glad.
stone) admitted the Irish party ought to be
independent, and that the consideration
and settlement of this question ought to be
left to them. But there was something be-
yond all consideration in Irish politics,
namely. that of the great cause of liberal
ism in England, Ireland and Scotland.
The trouble respecting the Irish
leadership was additional reason for
the granting of home rule. Why
should English and Scotch and Welsh poll
tics depend upon the issue of the choice of
a leader? The confidential communications
between the liberal and home rule parties
and the conversation with Parnell at Ha-
warden in November, 1889, he said, were
equally satisfactory to both parties, fact
that was proved by himself because he had
no reason to publicly speak about it. He
believed the OShea divorce proceedings
would entirely destroy the moral force
needed in Ireland by anyone who would be
the leading champion of the national cause.
The liberals felt that in granting home rule
they constituted the Irish constitutional
rulers of Ireland. The liberals were unwilling
after what appeared in the courts relative
to the private and public conduct of Par
nell, to make him the constitutional gov
ernor of Ireland. It was absolutely untrue
that Morley had suggested that Palnell
hold the Office under the British crown be-
fore home rule was conceded. The liberal
party's work in parliament was to resist
coercion in Ireland, and that work was as
urgent now as it had ever been, no matter
who might be the leader of the Irish cause.

The annual report of the bureau of ami
NAL industry says that with the ultimate
object in view of discovering method OF
preventing disease in swine, the bureau en-
deavored to produce artidcially a drug
which would have the same composition
and effect AZ bacterial products. These re-
searches have been in the main successful,
and the report claims substance has been
produced which not only resembles the
bacterial product of the hog cholera germ,
but which has quite the same power Of con-
ferring immunity from disease.
Morrill,, chairman, of the house commit
tee on invalid pensions, to-day received a
note from the pension commissioner, who
has just concluded examining the claims
recorded under the new act, showing III, ,94j
original invalid claims. 1888 original
widows claims and 296 $50 claims filed by
old claimants. This gives only about 227,-
600 new claims filed under the late law.
Morrill, regards this statement as evidence
that the expenditure for pensions under the
new act will be much less than antici-
pated.
