WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. l0.-The
House Committee on the Census this
morning discussed informally and with
ont action the reapportlonment:bill. 1t
was decided to give hearing Friday to
Brooklyn on the petition for a recount
OF that city, and twas also required that
the question OF the accuracy oithc count
OF New York city and similar questions
with respect to Brooklyn and other cities
should not delay action upon the reap

The discussion then turned upon the
number OF members that should CON.
pose tho House and showed sentiment
favorable to $3.50, the number originally

as had been expected, and as u whole the

356 is perhaps as fair a number as any
which could be proposed, provided that

OLD CHIEF DEAD.

CINCINNATI, O., Dec. l0.-In spite OF
eleven forty-tlye caibre balls fred into
the head OF Chief, the vicious elephant
at the Geological Garden, last night, the
big beast is alive and apparently we'll
this morning. He did not escape, as
reported last night, but was cutting such
wild antics, such as plunging his tusks
into the ground and tearing up the
earth and destroying everything within
reach, that he was adjudged insane and
his keepers tried to Kill him. The effort
served to restore his reason, ior he has
been unusually docile. The theory is
that the bullets alttened on his ekull
but did not penetrate. IS
LATER.-Atthe afternoon fort flank
attack was decided on. The first ball
was sent in the direction OF his heart. II
apparently produced no effect. The
second was aimed at his head behind
and near the ear. This was etiectual
and in few seconds the big foreigner
was dead, but not until alter eleven more
shots were fired, making the thirteenth,
which with the eleven last night makes
twenty.iour shots in all. -

members OF the Irish Parliamentary
party have issued their promised mani
iesto to the Irish people, In this they
say: "Feeling bound to protect our
country's cause, at whatever personal
sacrifice, we fonad ourselves under The

leadership; to adopt a course that will
tend to save Ireland from destruction"
The signers offered Mr.. Parnell an op.
portunity Of temporary retirement, with
a view to his eventual reinstatement, but
it naver gave the faintest chance OF q
settlement. His fatal maniiesto was an
appeal to tho l.ataed between the pco-
pies OF Great Britain and Ireland, and
uakes it impossible for him hereafter 10

of our country must depend. May God
defend the right" ~
