LONDON, Feb. 1S.-Maurice Healy, men,
Der for Cork City, asked the government in
the commons today whether. since the re.
fusal OF John DAILY, a life convict In Chat.
ham prison, to connect the Parnellites with
dynamite outrages he had been treated
with enhanced severity. Healy requested
that a sworn inquiry be made as to Daly's
treatment or that members of the house
VINO desired to investigate the matter
be allowed the same access TO the prisoners
as is allowed the agent of the London Times.
Matthews, the home secretary, said he had
no authority to grant the request for such an
inquiry. He denied the allegations against
the prison officials. and said Daily had stated
That he had no complaint TO make of his
treatment.
Bannerman, a home ruler, resumed the de-
bate on the address. He summed up the
case against the government by declaring
that II had wilfully resOrted to coercion
when coercion had been proved to be worse
than useless.
Balfour SAID that during the present de-
bate the administrator of affairs In Ireland
had been compared to the tyranny of Rus
sia, although everybody knew the COMPARE
son was nonsensical. The endeavor of the
government was to free Ireland from the
bondage of an INSCRIPTIONS conspiracy, TO
suppress intimidation, to give to the people
the common rights that all people are sup
posed to possess in civilized countries. He
trusted the house and country would con-
tinue to support the policy that had done so
much for Ireland.
AT the emu of the debate a vote was taken
on Parnell's amendment to the address which
was rejected BY BOZ to 240.

The House situation.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Feb. ls.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to The BEE.l-The deadlock in the
legislature has come so near an end that the
question of methods of the departure is the
only one dividing the parties. The demo-
Gratis want TO draw lots, for the speaker.
Many of the republicans object, including
two or three former minister's, who think it
would be gambling. The Iowa statutes,
however, recognize this method Of settling
tie questions in all elections, and it is fire.
quently employed. But there are a few re-
publicans whose conscientious scruplcs rebel
ut the suggestion. They say that it would
be wicked, and no better than gambling.
The republican caucus Is preparing a prop
osition to be submitted tomorrow morning,
giving the democrats the speaker and second
assistant clerk, and the republicans every
thing else in the way of minor officers and a
large proportion Of the committees.
Public sentiment is very strong through.
out the state in favor of ending the deadlock,
and the party that steps In with a winning
compromise is likely to get tho most glory in
the end.
Senator Catch today introduced in the
senate q bill aimed at the abuses which have
grown up under the prohibitorv law. 1t cuts
down the fees In liquor cases, and grants
none at all. When warrants for searches
are issued without due occasion it makes 1t
an offense punishable by fine aud imprlson-
ment for any officer to engage in searching
| for liquors without sufficient evidence. 1t

of whom is now under sentence to the pcni-

The House.

Dies MONIES, Ia, Feb. 1S.-In h house
this morning Holbrook offered a proposition
for the interpretation of the agreement for
the temporary organization to the effect that
it should include any matter looking toward
the settlement Of the speakership. 1t was
adopted.
A joint resolution was passed
authorizing the secretary Of state to furnish
the member of the legislature copies Of the
code.
Richman offered a resolution calling for a
settlement of the speakership contest by lot,
and in order to give the republicans time to
caucus on the matter, The house adjourned
till 2:3J. The republicans went into caucus
Immediately after adjournment.
The republicans in caucus rejected the
proposition made by Richman's resolution
this morning, and formulated another. 1t
gives the democrats the speaker, second as
sistant clerk, one paper folder and four
pages, and the republicans have all the other
offices. AS for committees, the republicans
have first choice and choose five, the demo-
Gratis second and choose one, the rest to be
alternately chosen.
When the house reassembled the resolu-
tlon of Richman was lost by a tie vote.
After two futile ballots the house adjourned
to allow the democrats to consider the propo
sitlOn.

COUNT ANDRAssY DEAD.
Hungary's Ex-Pramier Passes Away
After IA Long Illness.


lC0pWi0lt 1890 by Jamss Goripn Bsnns,.l
VIENNA, Feb. 1S.-INew York Herald
Gable Special TO The BEE. i-Buda Pest is
today a mourning city. Count julius An
Grassy died this morning at 3 O'Clock. All
buildings have been hung with black, and
the appearance of the city recalls the death
of Francis Deck, the great Hungarian min
ster, to whose party the deceased belonged.
The deceased remained conscious UP to q few
minutes before his death, and was able 10 re-
ceive the last sacrameuts. The cause OF
death was disease OF the bladder, from
which for some time previous 10 his demise
he suffered the most intense pain.
AT the opening Of the session OF the cham
Der the president announced the death Of the
count, recalling to the memory OF the depu-
ties the eminent services the deceased had re-
turned to his sovereign and empire. The
chamber then, as a token OF grief, adjourned
after ordering an entry of the circumstances
TO be made on the minutes.
1t has been decided this afternoon that the
funeral Of the former Hungarian premier
and Austro Hungarian minister for foreign
affairs should be q state affair, conducted at
the expense Of the government. The en-
peror Is deeply affected and has s%ignifed mis-
intention of personally participating in the
ceremonies. The body will lie In
state for several DAYS In the
rotunda Of the academy Of science. Count
Andrassy's long illness seems TO have accen.
tuated rather than discounted tho great
popular grief which is felt Ut the death
OF the popular typical Hungarian. The
transfer OF the remains takes place tomor-
row. 1t is probable that they will be finally
inferred at Terre5es, In the vault Of the
Andrassy family.

Twentieth Round-A straight, hard left

The audience went wild with excitement
at Dempsey's victory and his many ad-

Once more Jack Dempsey comes to the TOP
of the pugilistic ladder.

THE WORST THEY COULD SAY.
william O'Brien ON the Report OF the
Parnell Commission.

DUBLIN, Feb. 1S.-Wllliam O'Brien has
written a letter to the Freeman's Journal in
which he says he accepts the report of the
Parnell commission as the worst that three
honorable tories, restrained by judicial pro-
priety, can say against the nation
alists. Yet the Times, he says,
ought. to be placed on the pillory
Of history beside the most heinous propa-
gator of false charges. O,Brien denies that
he ever joined the league to secure the
separation of Ireland from England, but be-
cause Parnell's action in parliament induced
Dillon and himself to believe that the aims
OF Ireland could be- obtained by parliament
tary methods.
