 Large Audience in Philadelphia.


 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. S.-The meeting held last night at the Academy of Music by the Irish Nationalist leaders was very successful. The crowd was large and the enthusiasm great.

The tumult occasioned by her entrance had hardly died away when the entrance of Governor Beaver, accom- panied by Messrs. Dillon, O'Brien, O'Con> nor, Harrington, Sullivan and Gill was the signal for another outburst that shook the building. Governor Beaver took the chair, having Mir. Sullivan on his right hand and Mir. O'Brien on his left.

WORKING FOR THE SENATE.
Democrats Assert that a Tie is Possible
 in the Upper Branch.

Democrats Assert that Tie is Possible
 in the Upper Branch.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The interest in the political situation deepens. It almost looks as if the Senate might be danger ously near a tie. Friends of Senator Moody of South Dakota are quite alarmed. They are in receipt of dis patches from Moody himself, which seem to confirm the previous reports that the Farmers Alliance has captured the South Dakota Legislature, and will elect the Senator who will succeed Moody on March next.
 Mir. Moody's successor will not neces- sarily be Democrat, but he will vote with the Democrats, so it is claimed, on tariff issues, and possibly on other ques- tions If Farwell in Illinois and Teller in Colorado should happen to have Legis- lures returned adverse to their re-elec- tion, it is quite possible that on tariff questions the Senate may be tie, or may even have an adverse majority of one to the Mckinley bill
 The Republican Senators here are not worried over the political outlook, and assert that they will retain a majority.

S.-Mrs. Margaret Watkins, clerk at the general delivery window in the postoffice in this city, has been suspended by orders from Postmas. ter-General Wanamaker for using offens- i've language towards Richard Quay, the son of Senator Quay of Pennsylvania.

It goes to the Dead Letter office now," and Mrs. Watkins who was on duty at the window thoughtlessly re- peated the remark. Superintendent Bell, of the city delivery, admits that he made the remark which Mrs Watkins repeated.

THE COMING PARLIAMENT.
Debate to be Cut Off by the Application
 of Closure.


 LONDON, Nov. S.-A Cabinet council was held during the forenoon at which the question of enforcing the right of closure during the coming session of Parliament was discussed. It is be- lieved that most of the Ministers object to allowing the opposition to talk very much during the session, as the Conser- vatives have nothing to gain by any further debate on the issues now before the country.
 It is expected that the Liberals and Nationalists will propose an amendment to the address from the throne, demand ing that the Queen dissolve Parliament. Under ordinary circumstances this would bring on a prolonged discussion of the Governments past record and future policy; but according to the present tenn per of the Conservatives, it is likely to simply be voted down, debate being cut off by the application of closure.
 The party in power shows no sign of an inclination to head the frequently ex- pressed will of the people that @ change of administration should be made.
