PARNELL'S POSITION.
By Upanimous Vote He is Again Made til.
Party Leader.


A:London dispatch of the 18th says:
Contrary to the apparently authentic
reports, which were generally credited
last night, Mr.. Parnell did not retire
from the leadership OF his party to-day,
but accepted a reelection. Parliament
reassembled Mt noon. and before that
hour it began to be whispered about that
he had resolved TO brave public opinion
by appearing in his place in the House
and continuing as the leader of his par
" inside and outside the chambers.
And before noon il was authOritatiyely
announced that the nationalists would
not permit their chieftain to abandon
public life.
1T appears that the Parnellite mem
bers of Parliament met in secret session
early this morning. There was almost
complete attendance of the members
on this side of the Atlantic. Mr.. Par
nell, as he entered, was received with
repeated cheers and many of the mem
bers da,ted forward to grasp his hand.
He looked calm and self-possessed and
called the meeting to order in his usual
tone. He was unanimously reelected
chairman, and speeches were made by
Mr.. Sexton and others expressing
the complete confidence of the Irish
party in their leader, and urging him to
retain his place at the head of the
party in the House of Commons. Mr..
Parnell replied briefly, without any di-
rect allusion to the attacks upon him.
He said it was for the Irish members to
decide whether he should lead them.
If their decision had been a negative
one, or if there had been any diversity
of opinion among them, he would cheer
fully have withdrawn from public life.
Nothing but the conviction that his col
leagues desired to still utilize his serv-
ices in their common cause induced him
to resume a position which, under his
alter Il circumstances, exposed him
and them through him TO the attacks OF
their opponents. He was loudly

WAsuINGToS, d. c., Nov. 2l.-Sur-
geon-General Hamilton has made a re-
port to the Secretary of the Treasury
giving the results of visits paid by him
to the principal foreign ports of en-
barkation of immigrants bound for the
United States. Some of the steam
ship lines, he says, require their
surgeons to make preliminary
examination. which, however, in no
case compares with the examinations
made at New York by the officers of the
Marine Hospital service as the purposes
are entirely different, the purpose of the
steamship company being 10 pass all

of the Marine Hospital inspection are

stubborn Witness in an Interstate Com
merce Case.
CHICAGO: H., Nov. 25.-Judge Blod-
eett, in the United States drtrict court
this morning, rendered a decision which
closely affects the efficiency Of the inter
state commerce Law for the pun
ishment of persons and corpora
tIons found guilty of making secret
special rates. The Interstate Com
merce Commission, in response TO com
plants that rates from points west Of
Chicago have been manipulated in the
interest Of certain favored shippers,
caused an inquiry into the matter TO be
made by the federal grand jury.
Among the witnesses called was
Charles Couuselman, a prominent deal
er on the Board Of Trade. lie was
asked if he had not received rebates on
consignments Of grain over the prlncl-
pal railroad lines from the West, and
under advice of counsel declined TO an
swer on the ground that to do SO would
tend TO criminate himself. He
was cited TO appear before Judge
Blodgett and make answer why lie
should not be compelled to respond TO
the queries The matter was argued
Yesterday, and this morning Judge
Blodgett rendered his decision, holding
that Mr.. Counselman must answer
This was the most important question
that has come up in relation to the
interstate law, andSupon this decision
depended the success or failure Of the
amended Interstate commerce law.
Previously only the railroad was held
responsible, but now both road and
shipper are criminally liable. Unless
one OF these two parties could be com
PEELED to testify against the other
conviction of yiolators of this law was
well nigh impossible. Heretofore only
two people could give authoritative in
formation when one of these crimes was
commltted-the railroad official and the
shipper interested. If both Of them
could evade answering questions by
claiming that it would criminate them,
convictions could not be obtained.
Mr.. Counselman will still refuse 10
testify, and the matter will be taken on
appeal to the United States supreme
court.
lnasmuch az there was no direct APP
peal from The ruling under the statutes
Mr. Counselman went once more before
the federal grand Jury aud again refused
to answer the questions. This fact Was
reported to Judge Blodgett, who there
upon imposed a fine Of $500 upon Mr..
Counselman and ordered him into the
custody of the United States marshal
until the fine should he paid. This de-
veloped an appealaile ease.
The next move will be for a writ of
habeas corpus before judge Gresham.
and upon refusal an appeal will be
taken to the nitcd state supreme court,
as the ease involves constitutional

\ Detroit dispatch Of the 20th SAYS
Last week Matilda Orsech, aged 10, was
completely scalped by having her hair
caught in the shaftlng Of a grain ele-
vator. 1t was decided to graft skin
from the body of the little
girls sister Emma, who hero
icalv consented to the opera
ton which was performed to-day.
The child's head before the operation
presented exactly the same appearance
from the eyebrows over to the nape of
the neck, as that of a skeleton, except
in places, where small portions of the
muscle and tissue adhered A piece Of
skin eight inches long by five and a
half wide, and of an oval shape,
was cut from the right side
of Emma's body, leaving the upper
end attached near the breast. When
this flap of cuticle was prepared, the
children were laid together on a table,
and the flap was firmly fastened with
stitches to the right side of the injured
child's head. Then the children were
bandaged together in such way as to
prevent them breaking their Siamese
bond. If this preliminary operation is
successful, the remaining portion of the
head will be treated by similar opera
