ME. Gladstsus Hopeless Of His Bcns Rui.
W0rk an& VIII Abandon IT for Hn
Old Radical Platform, Lsav-
Ing Ireland Out
Hr. Pa-DsII Appeals to the People Of Ire
land; and WIN Not Voluntarily Retire
From the Leadership OF the Ma
ttonaI Irish Party.

CHICAGO, December The Tribune spe-
cial cablegram from London says it now
seems certain that Parnen will not retire
from the leadership of the Irish party, no
matter what pressure may be brought to
bear upon him. GladstOne's position thus
becomes more difficult than ever.
It is quite possible Gladstone will announce
the impOssibility of carrying the home rule
scheme any farther during his lifetime and
propose a union of his party on the basis of
the old radical program, leaving Ireland cut
altogether.
This would force nearly all the liberal dis
Eentients back into the ranks, and leave the
conservatives In a minority and liable to be
turned out of Office.
LoNDoN.-The manifesto which Mr.. Par
nell promised to issue, dealing with all the
questions involved in the present political
crisis, is made public.
1t definitely settles that Mr.. ParnelI will
not Voluntarily retire from the leadership of
the Irish parliamentary party. The mani
festo Is of great length. aud sets forth why,
in Mr.. Parnell's opinion, it would be disas-
trous to the best interests of the party for
him to withdraw at the present time.
Mr.. Parnell deies his political opponents
and appeals to the people of Ireland to sus-
tam him In the stand he has taken.

The Grand % d Sian lakes Issue

LONDON, December 2.-Gladstone has is
sued reply to Mr.. Parnell's manifesto, in
which he denies in toto the statements made
by the Irish leader in regard to the retention
of the Irish members of the imperial parlia-
ment the settlement of the land or agrarian
difficulty in Ireland: the control of the Irish
constabulary, and the appointment of the
judiciary In Ireland.
Mr. Gladstone then speaks of the proposals
alleged by Mr.. Parnell in his manifesto. to
have been made to MIN during his visit to
Mr.. Gladstone at Hawarden last November,
in the event of the liberal party winning at
the next general election.
Mr.. Gladstone declares that no single sup-
gestion was offered by him to Mr.. Parnell,
either as a formal or a final one.
Mr.. Gladstone denies that he made the
statements which Paruell's memory ascribes
to him, or anything substantially resem-
bling them.
In conclusion, Mr.. Gladstone says that he
has always held that the national party of
ireland ought to remain entirely indeDend-
ent Of the liberal party of Great Britain.

Summary of the Weeks Trade.
NV YORK, December 2.-R. G. Dun

NV YoRK. December 2.-R. G. Dun q
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
The past week has not improved the bust
ness outlook. The difficulty of obtaining
commercial loans increases. Lenders appear
to have been induced by recent events to
strengthen themselves Merchants are more
cauti US about extending obligations or
maxi any but necessary purchases, fear
ing falling off in the retail trade on &C
count of the extensively reported advance in
prices. Meanwhile speculation has been re-
viveu to an unhealthy extent in some direc-
tons on the theory that the troubles are over.
The money markets are thus loaded with in
creasing demands for carrying securities and
products at a time when trade especially
needs liberal supplies. In the interiot money
is more stringent and the scarcity begins to
affect trade at important centers, though the
volume of trade is very large.
Ire outlook for the great industries is less
clear, but the speculative markets have been
advancing. Wheat has risen 81, corn 21E,
lard Is, coffee a 4. Cotton is a sixteenth
lower, and OIL l cent lower. Breadstuffs are
high T. Tin is higher, but copper and lead
are 'hade weaker.
Tn business failures during the last seven
days were 249, against "a last week, and 249
the same week last year.

Secretary Of the rreasury,s Report.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 2-The re-
port of the secretary of the treasury shows
an increase during twenty years past in all
kinds of money In circulation among the
people of s727 .OO0, 900, an increase per capita
from 1887 to 1886. During the last ten
years the average monthly increase was 49,
So, 600 and an increase per capita of s.. So
The increase for eighteen months, from
March 1, 1889, to October l, 1890, was $685.
S66, S13 while there was decrease for eigh-
teen months, from March 4. 1885, to October
l, 1886, of 81, S29, 493. 1t is stated that this
large increase since March 4, 1889, is mainly
due to the present policy of keeping the sur
plus as low as possible by the purchase
and redemption of bonds, thereby saving in
terest and restoring the currency to circula-
ton, while the large decrease in circulation
for the corresponding period, from March 4,
1885, to October l, 1886, was due to the oppo-
site policy.

The ranchers are reporting losses of cattle

BaIfour and the BILL

LONDON, November 29.-In the house oil
commons Mr.. Balfour, chief secretary Of
Ireland, introduced the Irish land bill. He
said the government policy was the same as
in 1889. But for simplicity, the bill had teen
cut in half. Both portions, however, were
practically the same as in the bill of 1889.
Among other changes embodied in the new
bill. one had reference to the objection taken
at the last session to limit of twenty years
purchase then proposed. That limit did not
appear in the new bill. Cries of Hear,
hear!' Further power would be given the
viceroy to extend the period of five years,
during which per cent. Of the purchase
money was payable. In regard to increasing
the powers of the local authorities, Mr.. Bal
four said that he considered the original pro-
posals therefor in the bill were the best that
could be devised. Land purchase in Ireland
was not local question at all. The govern
ment was using the British credit to
carry out this vital reform, not primarily, for
the benefit of this country, or that, but for the
beneht OF the empire as whole. lCOnSerV-
ative cheers. Another consideration Is the
fact that the land question in Ireland was
largely used for political objects. 1t would
be absurd, therefore, to leave to communi-
ties under the excitement of agitators to de-
termlne whether they should adopt remedy
going TO the root of agrariau discomfort.
lParnellite laughter If they were to give
local control in any form, it ought to be by
plebscite of rate Day, or enabling them
under the safeguard of the ballot to vote
Ocon the question of granting a contingent
portion of the guarantee fund for each county.
Mr.. Labouchere moved an amendment
against pledging the imperial credit for the
purchase of land until the country should
have given its consent at a general election.
The amendment was rejected by vote of
26S to III.
Mr.. Gladstone. Sir William Vernon Har-
court and Mr.. Morely walked out before the
vote was taken,

The PresenL Presented

WAsHINGToS, D. C.. December 1.-The
medal which Admiral DeSilveira presented
to President Harrison was made IN Rio de
Janeiro upon special order of the govern
men. It is commemorative of the very
friendly relations existing between the two
republics IN consequence of our prompt re-
cognition of the official existence of the
new born republic. The metal is palladium
and gold, the two metals being symbolic re-
spectVely of Brazil and the United states.
1t Is about three inches in diameter and
weighs fourteen and three-quarters ounces.
On one face is an allegorical figure represent
ing Brazil, and five pointed star, encircled
by Iurel wreath, upon which is inscribed
this ito: '.tEstacos Undo Do Brazil, Is de
Move lbro de 1888" The date named is
that which the new republic counts as her
national birthday. Upon the reverse of the
medal Is the figure of an American eagle
bearing N Its claws the coat-of-arms of the
United States, with branches of oak and
laurel. The eagle is represented as flying
toward Brazil with an olive branch of peace
in its beak. Around it is the motto: ga
Republica dos Estados Unidos do America"

Opening of the Short Session.

WARRINGTON, D. C.-The closing session
of the Fifty-6rs congress has opened.
The attendance of members was consider.
ably larger than is usual on the first day of a
session, although many familiar faces. espe-
cially on the republican side were missing,
the fact possibly tending to indicate that
their owners felt less interest in legislation
since the developments of few weeks since.
Speaker Reed, bright as ever, was on hand
an hour before noon, and there was nothing
in the hearty manner with which he greeted
his friends to indicate that he had been badly
shaken up in the recent political cyclone.
Napoleon Mckinley, too, was IN his imper-
turbable mood, and answered back the sallies
of some of his democratic friends with
quick, keen-pointed and albeit pleasant
tongue.

Increase of sbtDm.nt. OF c.t,,..

WAsHISGToS, D. c., December 1.-The
work of inspecting cattle for export by the
department. of agriculture is now fairly IN
der ~ay. The agents of the bureau of AMI
NAL industry have, during the past few days,
inspected 1867 head of cattle. The ports at
which the inspection of these cattle was
made were Boston, New York, PhiladelDhia,
Baltimore and Newport, the largest number
being shipped from Boston. Since the estab-
lishment. August %, of system of inspec-
ton by American official veterinarians of
all cattle landed in British ports from the
United States. the veterinary officers of the
department of agriculture report the inspec-
ton, up to November 8, of 10000 cattle,
lacking few head. These figures denote an
increase in shipment of live cattle from this
country to British ports over the very large
shipments of the last fiscal year.

secretary of the interior has directed that the
Sioux Indians be supplied with increased "a
lions sufficient to confirm to the agreement
made in 1877. The appropriations for sup
plies for the Sioux have decreased every year
upon the superstition that the Indians were
becoming men. ard more capable of main
tanning themselves. Owing. however, to the
partial failure of the crops for the past year
or two, and restlessness of the Sioux, which
Is believed to be IN a measure due to the re-
duction of rations, the secretary has ordered

With the exception of the few seats re-

Gould Says the Kansas City Stock Yards
Has Been Favored

NEw YORK, December 1.-The Tribune
prints an interview with Jay Gould, in which
he says President Adams, of the Union Pa
citc, IS theorist who has conducted many
affairs of the Union Pacific without the
knowledge of the directors. Mr.. Gould said
he learned when last IN Kansas City that Mr..
Adams personally owned control OF the stock
yards there, and that while the railroad was
carrying in their live stock at bare cost of
transportation the stock yards earned s.. Co.
coo the past year. Such action as this, MI
Gould said, would never be permitted under
the new management. He believes that the
Burlington d Quincy and the Rock Island
will both come INTO plan for securing better
results from the western business. No fur
ther changes, he said, were to be made in
Union Pacific.

WASHINGTON. D. C., December $.-The re-
publican senator's were III caucus for an hour
and half, engaged in the consideration of
the order of business The main topic of
discussion was the national elections bill.
The friends of this measure recalled to their
fellow senators the implied pledge given at
the caucus last session that the bill, if allowed
to 30 over until the Reassembling OF con-
gresA, would be taken UP and pressed to .
final vote without the Intervention of other
business. They urged that the time had
come to redeem the pledges, and that the
senators should at once proceed to the con-
sideratlon of the bill. Certain senator's, who
have IL the past been set down as opponents
of the elections bill, or who, at least, were
supposed to be lukewarm in its support, OBJ
lected, not to the general principle of the
bill itself, but to the adoption of policy
that, IN their Judgment. would probably re-
suit blocking all other important legisla-
hon curing the remainder of this congress,
without a guarantee of successful termina-
non or the attempt to pass the elections bill.
Several western senator's, however. insisted
that with proper spirit of determination on
the part of the majority the bill could be
passed. After long discussion the caucus
agreed that the elections bill should be taken
up In the senate with the understanding that
It should be kept before that body until
finally acted upon. Furthermore, to guard
against expected opposition from the demo-
cratic minority in the line of dilatory tactics,
committee of i've senator's was appointed
TO cooperate with the republican members
OF the committee on rules in the preparation
Of rule to secure closure of debate when
desired by the majority. The old caucus
committee on the order of business was re-
appoi-ted, and instructed to prepare pro
gramme to govern the proceedings of the
senate after the elections bill shall have been
disposed of. 1t is stated that there was no
votes cast against these determinations of
the caucus.
