MR.. HARRINGrON's REASONS.
why He Believes Mr.. Parnell Should BE
Supported.

CHICAGO, Dec. Mr.. Timothy Harrington,
the only member of the Irish parliamentary
delegation now in this country who refused to
sign the manifesto repudiating Parnell. said in
an interview: "Yes, unfortunately. differ from
my colleagues here, and. therefore. l have been
unable to sign any manifesto issued by them in
opposition to Mr.. ParnelI : leadership.
There are no men III the Irish party have a
deeper affection for than some of my colleagues
who are here with me in this delegation and it
Is with extreme pain feel myself separated
from them upon any question affecting the
welfare of our country. But value unity ami
the independence of our Irish party il parll. =
ment much more than any personal frie L.

of course i fully recognize the dificui =
which Mr.. GladstOne's letter has raised, and .
appreciate to its full extent the injury that ma ,
be done TO our cause at the approaching gem
eral election by anything which would dampel
the enthusiasm of even a considerable sec
ton of English liberal electors. But
that does not alter the justice of
the case ia few years ago when Mr.. Glad

now. 1 make no apology for the charge against
Mr.. Pa-nell. though / reserve to myself the
right to believe that under other conditions he
might be able to make Il better defense than any
that has been made for him. The Irish people
have been too sorely tried on the question of
leadership and have had too many instances of
public betrayal on their politicians to be guided
BY either esat or hypocrisy in the selection
and faithful adherence to their leader. I'm nv
opinion they will hold Parncll. He is the force
that lei them 10 believe In constitutional agita-
ton. Without him l am convinced thar the
majority Of our people would have very little
faith in such apolicy and for MY part have no
hesitation in affirming nay own belief that If

his matchIess leadership and his indon,itable
pluck IN fighting the battle of the Irish race.
IF the Irish priests and people stand by Par
nell in the present crisis. - believe that they
viii, the English people who have so many
times affected to be scandalized by us in the
past will soon perceive that the policy
adopted by us is an honorable rs well a bold
and manly policy when We determine that no
measure Of expectancy can tempt Us TO expel
from public life leader of such devotion to
our Cause and So matches in all the best quii-
tiles OF leadership

DIVORCED FROM POLITICS,
The Civil Service Reform Law HonestI
Observed Here

SINh ccTNIce REFORM LAW honestly
Observed Here.
The seventh annual report of the civil serv-
ice commission Just issued shows that from
July 1, 1889, to June 80, 1890, $751; applicants
were examined for the departmental service at
Washington, of whom ALT passed and 1 .634
failed to pass. For the customs service 1852
were examined, ], TAG passed and 1906 failed;
for the postal service 11,190 were examined.
6,S0l passed and 1889 failed to pass; for the
railway mail service 4, 463 were examined, s, 1923
passed and 1854 failed to pass. The whole
number examined for the four branches Of the
classified service was ~, 1885, of whom 1881
passed and 8, las failed to pass. Compared with
the previous year this shows an Increase of
1856 in the whole number examined, an in
crease of 1888 in the whole number who passed.
and an increase Of 2,06S in the whole number
who failed to pass. The whole number ap-
follows: Departmental service, 543; customs
service, 375; postal service, 8, los, and railway
mail service, 400; total, 5,415; an increase Of
1854 over the previous year.
In the departmental service at Washington
the figures show that the question Of politics
has been practically eliminated in making re-
movals, and for the last seven years the law, as
q whole, has been faithfully and honestly
observed in the departments, although
changes OF administration. In the above figures
those for the small division Of the pension
bureau, which includes the special, medical
and principal examiners-iess than 200 in I'LL
have not been included. Owing to the peculiar
character of the law in reference to these
officers they show far less satisfactory state Of
affairs than do the other departmental positions.

A Decline All Along the List Of New York
Stocks.

Stocks.
New YORK, Dec 1.-The stock market began
the new week this morning with an active bust
ness and decidedly weak tone, Lackawanna
being down from Saturday closing prices 3-8
per cent, Suger refined IL, and Jersey Central,
Rock Island and Louisville and Nashville, each,
per cent, the other losses being generally
from IL to 7-S. In the early trading, in addi-
ton to the opening losses, Union Pacific
declined 1A per cent, and Missouri Pacific and
Northern Pacific preferred each per cent, and
the rest of the active stock generally small
fractions, though st. Paul, Atchison and Chicago
Gas retired q per cent each. At the lowest
figures attained iii the early portion of the
hour. however, the market displayed little or
no recuperative power, and while there was
less animation prices in only few stocks
showed any inclination to recover.
Later there another material decline all
along the list, in which Lackawanna and Chi
Cago Gas were most prominent and the losses in
the active stocks from Saturdays figures ex-
tended in Lackawanna and Union Pa
cific to 25s and ~ per cent,
respectively, with the others from
] TO 2 per cent The activity was principally
in st. Paul, Lackawanna, Union Pacific, Atchi-
son, Chicago Gas, Northern Pacific preferred,
and Louisville and Nashville, the rest of the
list being comparatively quiet. At IL o'clock
the market was still active and weak at the
lowest prices reached.
AN UPWARD TENDENCY.
Money was easy at 4a5 per cent The trans
actions in the stock market showed the usual
diminution after IL o'clock, and while there
was only small fluctuations the tendency of
prices was upward. All life disappeared from
the market and the improvement over the low
est prices was confined in all cases to small
fractions. No feature of any kind marked the
trading. AT noon the market was dull feature
less and stagEsnt at fractional recoveries from
the lowest prices.

TO FIGHT IN THE BAD LANDS.
Indians Choose Their Own Ground For a
Battle.


Battle.
OMAHA, NEB-, Dec. IA special to the Bee
from Pine Ridge agency, SD, saws: The hos
tiles have decided to move their camp into the
bad Lands and there await the coming of the
troops to capture them. They began moving
there yesterday morning and by night all of
them were hidden away in that region. which
the best scouts describe as being worse thanthe
lava beds in which the Modocs took shelter These
Bad Lands begin at the mouth of Wounded Knee
creek, Of which SO much has been heard of late,
and which is the gathering point for all these
hostiles and where the ghost dance started upon
this reservation. They run 10 miles northeast
to southwest and about fifty miles east to west
1t is an utterly barren region Of precipitous
canons and fantastic and ghostly formations
Few white men are acquainted with
the region, the Indians, however, know
ing It thoroughly. The fact that it is possible
for the Indians, when once established there rs
they are now. to continue making raids upon
the settlers adjoining the Bad Lands will GER
tainly, IL would seem. induce the soldiers TO
push into the region after this big thieving
band Of rebels, notwithstanding the fearful
chances to be incurred.
HosTILEs EAGER TO FIGHT.
Red Hawk and Guy Belt, agency police, have
just returned from spy work at camp of the
hostiles in Bad Lands. One had his horse shot
bullets. The hostiles said they were prepared
for the last great battle in history. All are
thirsting for blood.
Gen. Brooke has Just received telegram of
100 words from Gen. Ringer. warning him that
800 lodges (about 1000 warriors) of the Chey-
ennes were coming from Cheyenne agency to
Join the hostiles near here. The sixth cavalry
en- route from Albuquerque to Fort Mead have
been ordered to stop at Fort Sill. where another
ghost dance fever has broken out.
This was the day set for the appearance Of
the new Indian messiah, but so far as can be
learned the red children who have Rugged the
delusion have been disappointed. The troops
are still under orders to be ready to move at a
moments notice.
