Why the Irish ENJOYS Wanted to Put OF
Their Providence Visit.
Providence, r. l., Nov. A.-The cause for
the reluctance Of the Irish ENJOYS to visit this
city on November IL has at length been learned.
secret canon of the Glan-na-G Gael was being
held in the city at that time, information Of
which was sent to the English authorities by a
Providence spy. This news was communicated
to the o Brien-Dillon party by friends in Lon
don. To avoid appearance Of association with
the force party the members of parliament
were warned to keep away from here. When
come which they did only after being assured
by the local committee that a postponement
would cause a great loss, they stayed at the
Narragansett and the Clan-na-Gael delegates at
another hotel

HE BOUGHT A CEMETERY
And Didn't Know 1t, But He Will Make ,
Good Thing

DIR. Carraher, who is the physician to the
poor in East Washington, made purchase of a
large building lot recently. The lot was sit
uated in Twining City, not far from the Penn
sylvania avenue bridge that crosses the Eastern
branch.
The doctor had never seen the lot except on
paper, and after making the purchase he
visited Twining City and found that he was the
owner of the old Naylor burying ground, a
family cemetery. He naturally thought he
had an elephant on his hand, but instead of
that he soon learned that he had made good
investment.
Relatives of the dead that were inferred in
the little burying ground soon appeared to
enter protest against the sale of the lot, but
the transfer had been made and now
they are anxious to purchase the lot from
the doctor. The latter holds the ground at IS
cents per foot and has good prospects of get
ting that price. He paid something less than
10 cents foot for the ground.

MIR. CHILDS ON THE FINANCIAL SIT.
UATION
Mr.. Wanamaker Not Crippled.


Mr.. w. G. Mcbride of the Cincinnati En-
qlire', in an interview with Mr.. George W.
Childs, gathered the following from that we'll
informed gentleman on the financial situation:
As an incident Of the conversation. at this
point asked Mr.. Childs if he apprehended
financial panic in the near future, in view of
the money troubles at home and abroad.
"No," said he, 81 do not cannot see any
logical reason why such q calamity should over
come US: There is plenty Of money. True,
there is likewise much investment. A panic,
to be Tar reaching in its effect upon people,
must Of necessity reach the poor as well as the
rich. A rich mans panic is one that applies
only to such class, and, while to them it Is, of
course, the misfortune, il does not carry with
1t the calamity which comes
OF A GENERAL PANIC.
This is the lesson Of the money trouble now
on in London and New York. II is confined to
. class Of men who can overcome it, and 30 long
as it does not overtake the middle and poorer
class IT has no general significance of hard times
and distress. I think the outlook Is for good
rather than hard times.'

"Is Postmaster General wsnamaker very
seriously embarrassed, - has been reported?''

THE NAvASSA CASE.
The United States has Jurisdiction Over (
Island and Crime.


In the Supreme Court of the United States
today Justice Gray announced the decision of
the court in the case Of the Navassa rioters,
who are under sentence Of death in Baltimore
for murder committed on the Island of Navassa
in the Caribbean sea in 1889, where they were
employed by q Baltimore firm in work
ing guano beds. The case was brought to the
Supreme Court on an appeal, the question
raised involving the jurisdiction of the United
States over the island. The court decides
that the United States has Jurisdiction over
the islands, and afiirms the decision
decision the men under sentence
will be executed unless contrary executive &C.
ton is taken. In its decision the court sustains
the grounds taken by counsel for the United
States that the act Of Congress passed many
years ago providing that guano islands taken
possession Of by citizens Of the United
States and worked by them may
be placed under the Jurisdiction
Of the country by presidential proclamation;
that the law Of the United States respecting
crimes committed on the high seas are applica-
BILE to such islands, and that offenders shall be
tried At the port to which they are first

views of Judge Miller in this connection. The
judge says:
JUDGE MuIER's VIEWS.
The evils 10 be remedied now grow ont OF the
largely increased number of cases daily brought
TO trial. as the large number OF these cases are
for the violation OF the petty ordinances Of the
District and these trials consume more of
the time OF the court and the police
force than all the rest. IL follows that
any provision looking TO proper trial OF
such cases elsewhere would greatly relieve the
pressure which We are now acting under.
Judge Miller thinks that there should be three
police magistrates. who should be paid annu-
ally and who should have jurisdiction Of all
violation OF the ordinances Of the District ex-
cept the liquor and license laws, the
laws OF health and the building regulations.
They should appear at the several station
houses. he says, between the hours OF z and
am. and and pm. and hear ell cases held
for trial. This. he saws. would leave the
Police Court the trial of such United States
cases as are now within its cognizance together
with appeal from the magistrates and such
District cases as require uniformity Of practice
and decision. He thinks the Police Court
should have jury and it's findings should be
final. except that the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia should have the power TO
review the proceedings whenever a sufficient
case was made out 70 cause said court 30 grant

+. w. FOX DEAD.
A Wel-knOwn Newspaper Man Suddenly
Taken From Earth.

Taken From Earth.
Only few of the many who knew Mr.. E. W.
Fox were aware of his illness, and the news of
his death, which occurred yesterday afternoon,
was startling shock to an extremely large cir
Gle OF friends and acquaintance. Mr.. Fox's
health has always been Of the most robust ma
ture and those who saw him on Thursday last
would never have supposed that the powerful.
cheery-mannered man was near his earthly
end. There was no complaint of indisposition
on the part of the old gentleman until Thurs
day evening and then he went to bed feeling a
little out of sorts. He remained in bed on FRI
day and was treated by his physician, Dr.
Swormstedt. On Saturday his condition re-
manned apparently unchanged and gave no
cause for alarm. About 8 o'clock yesterday
morning the case first assumed a serious ap-
pearance, and then ensued consultation be-
tween Drs. Swormstedt, L. T. Sewers and E. A.
Ballock. The best treatment failed to afford
any relief and at AS yesterday afternoon Mr..
Fox died.
HIS LONG AND USEFUL CAREER
Elias Williams Fox will always be remem-
bered in this city as the originator of the Mount
Vernon avenue idea and one of the most active
promoters Of that proposition. He advanced
it when he was editor and business manager of
the National Republican, a position he assumed
Republican until 1888, when it passed COM
pletely under control of the Post and was con-
solidated with that paper. The Weekly Ma
ttondl Republican was, however, retained by Mr..
Fox, and this he continued to publish until its
transfer less than a year ago. For awhile Mr..
Fox and his sons published the Washington
Press, daily paper, which suspended in 1889.
The life of MIR. Fox was busy one. He was
born in Buffalo, NY. in 1927, and after learning
the trade of cabinet maker removed to st.
Louis. where he speedily became prominent in
commercial and political matters. BY industry
he worked his way into partnership with Child
Farr In an enormous hardware business.
He was the first president the st. Louis
board Of trade ever had, and he also had the
honor of being president of the first national
mercantile convention known in the United
States. He was secretary and manager of the
st. Louis Dispatch for some years. As poll
tician and a stanch republican Mr.. Fox was a
central figure in Missouri. He served as a
member of the state legislature and was chair
man of the republican state central committee
in 1868, the year the state gave its electoral
vote for Grant.
In 1854 Mr.. Fox was married to Miss Eusebia
children, all grown. Messrs. William c., Edward
burn.
1t was arranged today to have the funeral
services at the house, 1885 street, at 2:3O
o'clock tomorrow.
The remains will be inferred in Rock Creek
cemetery. The pallbearers, so far as chosen
this afternoon were Messrs. Park Agnew, NJ. b.
Harlan, Crosby s. Noyes, Beriah wilkins. Geo.
H. Harries j. w. Smith, ex-Senators B. +.
Rice and Joseph Y. Potts.

PARNELLITEs TO CONFER.
The Policy Of the Leader to BE Discusee
in Council.

LONDON, Nov. pa meeting Of the Parnell-
ite members of the house Of commons will be
held tomorrow prior to the opening Of the ses-
sion Of the house. Mr.. Parnell has summoned
every member to be present and he will pre-
side at the meeting. His policy, which was re-
Gently announced, will be discussed and will be
embodied in amendments which will be moved
during the week to the address in reply to the
queen speech opening parliament These
amendments will give rise to prolonged debates
in the house of commons. The precise scope
and character Of the attack to be made upon
the government will be settled at the meeting.
Mr.. Gladstone came to London from Hawar-
den today in order to attend the opening Of
parliament tomorrow. A large crowd gathered
at the railway station to welcome him, and he
was given most enthusiastic reception.
Mr.. Gladstone will say nothing as to the
course he will follow in regard to Mr.. Parnelrs

spEAkERsHIP CANDIDATES.
Not Saying 90 Much Now as They Did-Mr.
Mills Confident of Winning.


Mills Confident Of Winning.
Several leading democrats who aspire to the
speakership of the next House are now in the
city and are doubtless now occupied with their
booms, but they are having very little to say
to the public on the subject. The first impulse
of eagerness which led them 10 spring
to the front with announcements of
candidacy has been curbed on second
thought, and there appears to
be general disposition to postpone the dis
cussion Of the matter until nearer the time
when the choice is to be made. The party adj
visers outside of the contest are urging an
avoidance as far as possible Of any scramble
after the place, fearing that bitterness may be
engendered which would be hurtful to the
party in the future.
MR.. MILLS CONFIDENT OF WINNING.
Mr.. Mills, who is now in the city, avoids any
discussion Of the subject. but he evidently has
no doubt of his winning in the democratic
caucus. He regards the democratic victory as
a vindication Of the position which he has
always occupied on the tariff questions. II the
democrats IN Congress generally regard the
result OF the election in that light il is urged
that 1t will be difficult for them to find any res-
son why they should not elevate him to the
dictatorship OF the democratic house. He has
been the foremost advocate of tariff reform
since he first entered the House and the other
tarif reformers who claim distinction on
account OF their zeal for the reform have
been his followers in that school of thought
1t Is not thought that there will
any sectionalism dragged into the contest when
IL opens In earnest except, perhaps, by one or
TWO northern men who may hope to advance
their own candidacy by it. The fact is that
whoever is chosen will be dependent upon
northern votes for his election.
sEcrIoNALIsM TO BE AVOIDED.
1t is the policy Of the democrats to avoid
sectionalism as much as possible, and having a
majority OF northern votes they can well afford
to elect southern man rather than
confess that there is any reason why
sectonalism should determine their
choice. When Mr.. Randall was chosen Speaker
for three terms it was by southern votes, and it
Is now urged that there is no reason for the
northern democrats TO consider anything ex-
cept the qualifications of the candidate. wher-
ever they may go for him.

A PITTsBURG ASSIGNMENT.
Thomas Fawcett and Sons Failure Caused
by Depression In River Coal Trade.

Thomas Fawcett and Sons Failure Caused
by Depression In River Coal Trade.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. A.-Thomas Fawcett 4
Sons. one Of the Oldest and largest bituminous
coal firms in this city, have failed. Judgments
aggregating s16O, 900 were entered by the Cen
trail Bank this morning and all the property of
the firm has been levied upon by the sheriff to
satisfy these claims. The liabilities are esti-
mated at $500 600, with assets of about $780,
600. No statement has yet been made, but one
is promised at once.
The failure was not unexpected and, it is
claimed, was not the result Of the present finan-
cial conditions. The firm has been carrying a
large amount Of paper, and for two months it
has been known that they were about to give up
the fight. The senior member, Mr.. Thomas
Fawcett. is president of the Central Bank, but
the failure will have no effect upon that institu-
ton. as it is amply protected. The failure is
attributed to the long-continued depression of
the river coal trade.
