TEACHERS FAIR.
The opening Of the Teachers Fair at the
Lenox Lyceum. which took place to-day,
portrayed much of the success that was an
ticipated. Mr.. A. Is. de Frace, who has
managed several CT our recent exhibits, has
been indefatigable in his energies TO make
the fair brilliant success, and so enthusl-
astic is he over it and its expected success
that he says he feels like giving his person
al note for $4,000. The educational display
which contains exhibits from over 10000
school children, IS a wonder In itself. The
purpose Of the fair is to raise funds which
will be donated 10 the Teachers Pension
Fund.
THE UNITED STATES sENATORSHIP.
The latest rumOr concerning the United
States SenatOrship is that Assemblyman
William +. Sh5ehan, Of Buffalo, is Governor
Hills chosen candidate.
Mr. Sheehan is the member from the First
Erie district. II 10 believed that when the
Legislature cOnyenes he will be elected
Speaker of the House. If at that time be
IL still slated for United States Senator, be
will resign his Office as Assemblyman, and
Charles p. McClelland, Of Westchester
county. eX-deputy collector OF the port Of
New York, will probably be elected to the
speakership.
Another rumOr ia circulated that Mr..
Sheehan was only TO be put forward 40
dummy" candidate 10 cover the candi-
dacy Of some person not named who would
be "sprung" on the Democratic caucus at
the last moment. There is, however, a pro-
vision of the Constitution which f0rbids the
election Of a member of the Legislature 10
the Office OF United States Senator during
the term for which he is elected. This
would seem 10 dispose Of Mr.. shCs1an's
chance.
PARNHLL's SEIZURE OF UNITED IRELAND.
The announcement Of the seizure Of the
plant of United Ireland by Mr.. Parnell Is
regarded by the Irish National party as de-
stroying the last vestige OF peaceful set
Element OF the internecine quarrel which
has been disturbing the Irish Parliamen-
tary party Tor the past two weeks. 1t has a

was only Yesterday that William O'Brien
sent him cablegram, which i'm effect al
most begged Parnell TO take no precipitate
action until both had an opportunity of eI-
changing views in France, Mr.. O'Brien no.
tifying Mr.. Parnell at the same time that
he intended starting for France next satur-
dayI
Messrs. O'Brien and his colleagues were
so astonished at the news that they asked
10 be excused from making any formal
statement for publication until they had an
opportunity OF holding formal conference.
ENTIRE DELEGATION MAY RETURN.
The latest development in the situation
may induce the entire Parliamentary dele
cation 10 leave for Europe on Saturday
next. William O'Brien and f. =. Gill will
surely leave for France next saturday morn
ing on La GascOyne. Mr.. O'Brlen said to-
day: AS soon as | get to Paris | will
enter into conference with the
Irish leaders, and before taking my place
in an Irish jail j will do all in my power to
restore harmony in our Parliamentary
ranks. ! do not by any means give up hopes
of reconciliation yet. When the excite
ment dies out and differences are discussed
amicably | have hopes that we can get TO-
gether in the common cause OF promoting
lreland'a interest" Timothy Harrington,
the only one of the American visitors VINO
supports Parnell, will start for England
also on Saturday.
FAITHFUL TO THEIR LEADER.
He SAYS: IL have hopes that a compro-
mise may yet be made; OF course am not
going home with any idea Of offerings COM
promise, but to resume my duties in Par
lament. If n compromise is not effected,
then believe the electors OF Ireland Will
declare in favor Of retaining Mr.. Parnell as
leader. | have no doubt that the HER
archy's opposition will have some influence.
but the people Of ireland will select their
leader regardless Of the action Of the HER
archy. In politics the Irish are independ-
ent, and will vote TO suit themselves" All
the influential Irish interests in New York
are against Parsell.
