One OF this summers exercises at Alder
shot has been what is called the infantry
smoke attack, An advanced line carries with
1t q certain material packed In cases, which,
when lighted, crentes dense smoke. and
under its cover the main body goes forward
screened from the exact aim OF the enemy
until within short range OF tho latter. An
antidote for one characteristic feature Of
smokelcss powders is thus provided almost
before they have come into general
use. While the French are said to
consider the tactical changes demanded
by the new powders as sufficiently i'm
portant to require revision OF their
drill book, and while q German cavalry expert
doubts whether 1t will be possible hereafter to
do as much us hitherto with mounted troops
against infantry. from the lack of clouds Of
smoke to conceal the advance, new smoke pro-
dueers are already being provided 1t is a
familiar experience that when either tho at
tnek or tho defence In tho art OF war obtains
new advantage. tho other sdo nyen;s some
thing with which to countcract 1t; but In this
instance OF the Aldcrshot smoke cases tho re-
Spouse comes with unusual promptness.

DR.. JUSKER, who learned in Central Africa

negro bill OF fare expresses decided views In his
new book on the way to Got along in the Dark
Continent He goes 50 far as 10 say that in his
opinion tho white man who accustoms himself
to native food will keep IN better health than
II he enjoyed tho best Of European cookery.
At first he viewed with positive repuGnRnce Q
good deal OF the food that was placed before
him. but he soon learned to eat negro dishes
with good appetite. 1t was his rule of life in
Africa to adapt himself as nearly as possible to
native customs and usazes whether he was
living among Arabs or negroes and this prRc-
tice saved him from many trials and perplcXi-
ties when the resources he had brought from
Europe were exhausted.

The Plucky San Francisco Boxer Willing

SAN Francisco, Dec. 3.-James J. Cor
bett, the San Francisco pugilist, sent a
dispatch to New Orleans tonight which
seems to indicate the probability of a
fight between himself and Frank 2. Sla-
win, within the next few months. Two
weeks ago Charles Stengil, Corbett's
manager, telegraphed the Olympic club
of New Orleans, that Corbett accepted
the offer of the club to fight
Slavin to finish, for $4,000,
and requested the club to cable the
acceptance to Slavin and secure the lat
ter's answer. Corbett received a tele-
gram today from Charles Noel, of the
Olympic club, stating that Slavin ac-
cepted, providing Corbett would wager
$25OO as side bet, and deposit forfeit
OF $1,000. Corbett tonight telegraphed
Noel that the money required as for
felt by Slavin had been posted, and that
the match must occur before April 18th,
next. Stengil also notified the sporting
editor of a New York paper that he had
telegraphed him $1,000 to bind the
match between Corbett and Slavin.

OPINION IN IRELAND
Divided as TO Parnell's FITNESS to Lead
the Party.

Divided as Co Parnells Fitness to Lead
the Party.
DUBLIN, Dec. Sat a meeting of the
Catholic hierarchy, at the residence of
Archbishop Walsh, today, it was re-
solved to issue manifesto, declaring
that the archbishop and bishops of Ire
land consider Parnell unfit to remain
the leader of the Irish party. Their OBJ
jections to Parnell are based on moral
grounds but it is also the opinion of the
hierarchy that his continuance in the
leadership would inevitably cause dis
union in the party.
The poor law guardians OF Strongtown,
Carrick and Boyle, have withdrawn
their confidence in Parnell.
The town council of Marlborough
adopted resolution supporting Par
nell.
The opinion of the Nationalists in
county Tyrone in favor of Parnell is
growing stronger. William Reynolds,
who represents the eastern division, will
be summoned by his constituents to re-
sign.
The Mas board of poor law guardians
has passed vote of confidence in Par
nell.
Cork, Dec. 3.-The Nationalist mem
bers of the municipal council adopted
by vote of 81 to 9, resolution express
sing confidence in Parnell and urging
him not to recognize any action by his
opponents adverse to himself The reso-
luton was passed after a very hot and
noisy debate. The Catholic bishop of
Elphin, county Roscommon, has called
upon Parnell to resign.

Ranch Hand Near Fresno Kills a Eel
low LabOrer.

FRESNO, CAL, Dec. 3-Frank Bogard,
young man not 20 years of age, came
to Fresno today from Karne's ranch,
where he is employed, and surrendered
to the sheriff, stating that he had shot
and killed George Hickey, another en-
ployee on the ranch. Bogard is married
to daughter of A. S. Bradway, who has
charge of the ranch. Young Bogard re-
turned to the ranch at an early hour
this morning from visit to Fresno, and
found his wife and sister sitting up
and in an evident state of alarm.
His wife told him that Hickey
had attempted to assault her sister.
Bogard says the three remained in the
room till daylight, and then Hickey
called him into the winery and COM
PEELED him to drink quart OF wine by
holding a pick-axe over his head.
Hickey then demanded Bogard's pistol,
and started to the house to get it.
Bogard also started for the house, and
arriving there before Hickey, he secured
a Winchester, and ordered Hickey to
halt several times. The latter paid no
attention to him, and Bogard finally
fired, killing Hickey. Bogard says he
believes that Hickey intended to kill
him and assault the women.

Parnell has decided to state explicitly
whether he will retire from the leader

to consider Clancy's proposal, which is
cleverly designed in ParnelPs interest,
with the double object of gaining time
and putting the Sexton side further
wrong, in the event of the almost cer-

quired pledges.

President Evans of the Liverpool Re

freely with him after the meeting at
Hawarden, evidently being much inn
pressed with Gadstones cordiality, and
more still with the thoroughness of the
Liberal leaders, proposals concerning
Ireland, which Parnell said went further
than proposals from any great English
statesman could be expected to go, and
meant most satisfactory solution OF

Associated Press Dispatches
LONDON, Dec. 3.-The meeting of the
Irish Nationalists to further consider
Parnell's leadership, reassembled at 2
O'Clock this afternoon.
During the proceedings Parnell an
nounced that the sergeant-at-arms Of
the house of commons had granted the
Irish members the use of the committee
room until 7 O'Clock.
Healy disputed that the official had a
right to determine the length of the de-
liberations and requested that he be
notified to that effect.
Parnell declined the proposed message
as impertinent.
Objection was raised to kilograms
from individuals being received during
the proceedings. During the discussion
a telegram personal to Parnell was read.
Sexton said he would persist to the
end in opposition to Parnell, despite the
ruffianly attacks made upon himself.
A dispatch was read declaring that the
tenants on the Smith-Barry estates were
with Dillon and O'Brien in opposition to
Parnell.
A telegram from the Belfast branch of
the National league, read, declared that
the members would have no leader but
Parnell.
Sexton, who represents the western
division of Belfast, said if the opinion of
the Belfast Nationalists was contrary to
his he would resign.
Clancy said he had proposal to make,
which he hoped would insure solution
of the difficulty.
Conversation ensued which resulted in
an adjournment until tomorrow, when
it is expected compromise will be ar
ranged which will lead to entirely new
developments.
Clancy's motion involves the tempo
rary retirement of Parnell, subject to
certain conditions being exacted from
Gladstone in connection with his prom
ised home rule scheme.
Clancy's proposal has raised hope
among the Nationalists that unani-
nous settlement will be effected. Lib
eral circles, however, do not share the
hope, the attitude and front of the op-
