UNITED IRELAND RECAPTURED

Crowds Irish Question
Must Be Settled.

DUBLIN, Dec. 1.-THE struggle FOL
tho possession Of United ireland
assumed new phase this morning
Again Parnell is in possession. The
opponents of Parncll who succeeded
last night in forcing an entrance into
the office aud destroying all the leaders
prepared by Leamy, appointed yester-
day to succeed Bodkin as acting man
nger during the absence OF William
o. Brion left guard in posses
sion. with orders to resist any attempt
of Purnell or his friends to enter the
building
This morning Parnell proceeded to
the office, and, with the assistance oil
crowd OF his supporters, forced open tue
doors and took possession. Police VIII
messed tho affair, but did not interfere.
After he succeeded in recapturing the
office, Parnell went to window and ad-
dressed the crowd outside.
To guard against any further attempt
of the opponents to recapture the Office,
the doors and windows were bolled and
barred, When the office was secure
against intruders all conversation with
outsiders was carried on through tae
kcyhole.
When Parnell made the assault upon
the Office this morning he WAS armed
with crowbar, which he used in forcing
the front door in.
Aner the office was taken Parnell ap-
poared Mt one of the windows of the
office, shouting that he would light the
battle to the last; that he would only
allow the country To decide the issue,
and that he would submit to the dicta-
tion of no man. He appeared to be
tiercely excited ana to have lost MS
usual selfcontrol.
Before Parnsll made the attack on the
United Ireland office to-day he procured
two crowbars and handing one OF them
to John OCornor, they proceeded to the
door OF the paper and soon smashed 1t
In. Parnell has ordered that all persons
be treated fairly in the columns OF the
paper.
When in company with McGough

drove to the railway station to take the
train for Cork, crowds lined the streets,
and the windows of the houses were
filled with spectators He was loudly
cheered.
As Parnell received the address from
the local branch of the national league,
and ut kllar, lac made speeches to the
crowds at the stations.
At Monas,ercyean there was an anti

Before the train left Mallawa the
crowd was very violent and made re.
peated attempts to enter the Parnell
carriage. The moo hourished sticks in
the air and shouted, Down with the
blackguard. Down with the libertine,'
and similar cries.
At one time the mob seemed about
to accomplish their purpose of forcing
their way into the carriage. Parnell
tore down At rack from the side oil

himself Mallows Is the birthplace Of

There Is nothing to be said regarding

A BIG CONTRACT LET
From Great Falls to the
Little Spokane.
THE GRADE STAKES ARE SET
Willard Decl ares That He and the
Northern Pacific Are All
Right.

A private telegram received In this
city Thursday announced the letting oil
the contract for the construction OF the
Great Northern railway from Its present
terminus, at Great Falls, Mont, to a
point near Chattaroy, on the Little spo-
kane river, eighteen miles from this
city. The contract was let - Sheppard
4 Co.
For the past three weeks n party OF
Great Northern surveyors have been
encamped at Little Falls, on the Pond
d'Oreille river. They have been driving
the grade stakes for the road, and are
working this way. The country there
IL all government land, and as the com
pany has a right of way from congress,
no delay will be experienced In the mat
ter OF obtaining rights of way.
The Spokane public are becoming
aroused to the importance of having the
Great Northern build into this city. The
proposition OF holding public Meeting
and appointing q committee TO call
under discussion. A REVIEW reporter
asked the company's legal Representative
what he thought of the proposition.
~ don't think that 1t Is necessary"
was the reply. "The last time saw
Colonel Clough he informed me that at
the proper time the company would call
upon the Spokane people and submit
their proposition. He gave me to under
stand that they would surely build into
Spokane. but whether with a spur or
not he did not say. A great deal de-
pends upon the way in which the peo-
pie of this city treat the road, / think,
although great deal hangs upon grades
and direct route.
"You understand Mr.. Hills propo.
sition, don't your" was asked OF the re-
porter. who had to plead ignorance.
"He is looking to the future, and Is
building for through traffic and Asiatic
commerce. He is after the shortest
route and the easiest grades, and towns
and cities are OF secondary Importance
For instance, he left Helena to one side
and built n short spur into the city. 1t
Is probable that the same course may be
pursued with Spokane Falls"
Another gentleman, who Ia usually
we'll informed in railroad matters, and
usually gets information in advance OF
that he had been informed that the
Great Northern would get into Spokane
over the tracks of the Spokane g. Nortn-
ern.
The legal representative Of the line
was asked regarding this information.
"If Mr.. Hill comes in over those
tracks he will probably buy the road.
| don't think he would enter into q
lease unless il was very long one"
Whom Mr.. L. q. Dillman was in st.
Paul recently, he met Colonel Clough,
vice president.
III inferred from what Mr.. Clough
said," observed Mr.. Dillman, that the
main line of the road would leave Spo-
kane to the south, but that we would
surely get a spur, and that nothing
short of extra inducements would lead
the company to place Spokane upon Its
main line"
Mr.. Dillman Is of the opinion that the
citizens should take the IN after in hand
and bring influence to bear upon tine
company.

Mrs. Fnyerweather Can Not Soc II
That Way.

NEW YoRK, Dec. IA contest to the
Fayerweather will was filed to-day by
Mrs. Fayerweather. The whole estate
was expected to realize $6,5OoOoO. The
fourth and last codicii to the will was
signed by Fayerweather on the day OF
his death. 1t removed Mr.. Rich from
the position of simple executor and
gave him joint residuary interest. with
Henry b, Vaughan and Justice Buckley.
The objection which Mrs. Fayer-
weather holds Is to this, not to the be-
quests to colleges. What she fails to
comprehend is why these executors
should receive 81, 100000 apiece without
any of them having any .particu lar claim
on it. The contest will be made on the
grounds of undue influence.

ALLIANCE AND NEWSPAPERS.
A Virtual Boycott Unless Alliance
News Is Published.

SANFORD, Fla, Dec. 1.-President
Polk of the National Farmers Alliance
has named Washington, February 8,
1891, as the time and place for holding
the first meeting of the national legisla-
tive council. One of tho last acts the
recent convention did was the adoption
of the resolution that the policy of the
alliance will be to withhold all support
from newspapers which do not conduct
alliance departments, or at least publish
alliance news regularly.
This arrangement does not compel
the support of the alliance measures, or
the advocacy of alliance demands on tho
part of the newspapers in their editorial
colu INNS, but 1t does compel certain
degree of friendliness on their part, and
amounts to an absolute boycott of all
newspapers which do not come up to
the terms of the resolution.

Work with.


lFrom the REVIEWS Special Correspondent
at st. PAUL.
ST. PAUL. Dec. 1l.-Henry Willard,
chairman of the Northern Pacific board
of directors arrived in st. Paul this
morning. He was sccam panied by d.
g. Megg, general director of the Wiscon.
sin Central and ii. X. Kreisman, u cap
italist of Berlin, who Is largely interested
in the application of electricity to the
transmission of power. The party will
remain in St. Paul until evening, when
they will leave for the East, Messrs.
Willard and kreisman returning directly
to New York. Mr.. Willard devoted this
morning to a con ference with the officials
of the Northern Pacific. Having during
the forenoon moment or two at his dis
posal, he took that opportunity to grant
an interview to the REVIEWS special
correspondent. The sum and sub
stance of what he said was.

HE SURPRISED ELIZA.

Salamanca On. Y. Special to Chicago
Herald John Roberts of North East is
farmer well enough to do, but he had
always been eccentric about his clothes.
Unit! week ago he had not been
known 10 buy new suit of clothes for
years. Tue ones he wore had been so
often patched and repatched that not
bit of the original warp and wool was
visible. This personal sloyenliuess on
the part OF her husband was source of
constant annoyance TO Mrs. Roberts,
who is woman of exceptional neatness.
She long ago became so ashamed of his
appearance that she would no longer
accompany him to town to do her trad
ing. This singular characteristic of the
farmer was not owing to RIGHTEOUSNESS.
tor he was liberal man in all his deal
ings. A few days ago he went to town
to do little trading, and. to the utter
establishment of the town he purchased
new suit of clothes for himself. His
new clothes were done up in package,
and he placed the package on the wagon
seat behind him when he started home
that night. 1t was dark night. Far
mer Roberts had got half way home
when brilliant idea struck him. He
stopped his horse on a bridge where the
read crosses the east branch. ''Pil do
it, by gumi' he said. ''Ill do it and
su' prise Eliza!" Thereupon the farmer
rose up IN the wagon and began to take
off the patched and repatched clothes he
had worn so long. As he removed q
garment he tossed it into the creek until
he had tossed them all in. and had
nothing on but his shirt. '.Great apple
SASH he exclaimed. but won't Eliza
be su 'prisedr' Then Farmer Roberts
reached for the package that had his
new clothes in. 1t wasn't on the seat.
Farmer Roberts got down and reached
under the seat. The package wasn't
there. Then be felt all over the bottom
on the wagon. The package wasn't
anywhere on the bottom. Farmer
Roberts rose up in the wagon and looked
back along the pitch-dark road. Then
he climbed back in his seat, and away
the horses went for home. The night
was chilly and there were four miles to
go. When Farmer Roberts reached
home and climbed out of the wagon he
paused. 1.-The hull idee didn't work. y
he said. ''but Ill betS9 that I'll su' prise
