enforce convincing arguments on either side.
1t seems likely, according to the latest de-
velopments, that the contest will be between
Parnell's men and the priests, or, local
paper heads its column on the election, the
"Split P's."
Nj. Healy, in speaking at a midnight
meeting of Hennessv's committee at Kill
kenny last night, said: "ParneIl has en-
ployed mob violence to prevent his oppo-
nents' arguments from reaching the ears of
the people, and is aiding the mob by sup
plying them with drink and spending the
money of the tenants on them" He said
that he and Biggar kuew the facts of the
Ethan intrigue and should have strangled
it at Galway, but the unfortunate ulcer was
allowed to grow. He called Parnell the
savior of the Tory party and Mrs. O'Shea its
Joan of Arc. Healy concluded BY saying
that he is determined so long as his life lasts
to expose what he terms Parnells treachery
and malignity.
1t is asserted in well-informed quarters
that an attempt was made some time before
the hearing of the O'Shea divorce case,
through one OF the highest ecclesiastical
dignitaries in the United Kingdom, to in
duce Captain O'Shea to let the suit drop in
the interests of the Liberal party and of
home rule. The attempt was made in con-
junction with an offer to secure the
pecunlary interests OF Captain O'Shea and
of his son, and it was made with the full
cognizance of some of the most influential
English members of the Gladstonian-
Liberal party. This may serve to explain
the extreme heat with which Parnell re-
ceived, at the eleventh hour, the suggestion
that the Liberal leaders regarded his retire
ment as necessary.
The polling for the Bassetlaw division OF
Nottinghamshlre takes place on Monday,
and since Gladstone's speech on Thursday
the Liberals have become very hopeful Of
success. There was, however, large ma
jority against them at the last contest, and
if the seat is won it will rank as one of the
greatest Liberal victories since the general
election. Unfortunately, the present split
in the Irish party is having the effect of en-
couraging the lukewarm Gladstonian voters
to absent themselves from the polls, and
more than the average canvassing is wanted
to bring these cold-blooded ones to e proper
sense of duty.

A GREAT LABOR FIGHT.
BATTLE BETWEEN THE SHIPPING FED
GRAFTON AND sEAMETs UNION
That May Develop Into Gigantic Strike or
Lockout in the Spring-The Federation
Thus Far Victorious, but the Unionists
Are Determined.
ny cARLR TO THE pIspArcHI


LONDON, Dec. 13. - A very interest
ing labor struggle has been going on here
for the past ten days almost unnoticed, the
newspapers having room for scarcely any
thing which is not more or less connected
with the political crisis. The struggle is
really preliminary trial of strength
between the Shipping Federation and
the Seamen and Firemen's Union,
and it may be the precursor of a
gigantic strike or lockout next spring. On
the Sd inst. the United Labor Council, of
the port of London, issued a manifesto. ac-
cusing the ship owners of bre aking the i'm
specified shipping offices, and compelling
the men to sign articles on board ship. The
accusation has not been disputed, nor do the
ship owners affect to deny that their action
was from the first directed against the
union.
By engaging men aboard ship and keeping
them there alter signing articles, the ship
owners have seriously hampered the opera
tions of the union officials, who find it diff
cult to keep old members and impossible to
obtain recruits. The union has decided to
limit the struggle as tar as possible, the
present time of year being unsuitable for
strikes, ana tneV therefore attacked only
the three leading offenders, the
Shaw, Savill and Albion. the British
India and the New Zealand lines,
whose iremen and seamen were called out
on the 9th inst The coal laborers in the
same service struck work in sympathy and
are still out. The three companies all be-
long to the Shipping Federation. and that
powerful body at once took charge of the
fight, 1t proves to be admirably organized
and up to the present has been victorious all
along the line, ships having been coaled,
manned and despatched with scarcely any
delay.
The unionists admit that they have been
worsted SO far, but they will keep the strug-
gle alive until the spring. aud then widen
the area of battle. Both sides are actively
preparing for the great fight, in which it is
probable that the existence of all trades
unions connected with shipping docks will be
involved. Secretary Wilson, of the National
Amalgamated Sailors and Firemen's Union,
has been in Liverpool all this week organ
izing his forces there, but unless the Ship
ping Federation should precipitate crisis,
the men on the Atlantic lines will not be
called out before the end of March.

LESS TOLLS AND NO LICENSES.

A Suggestion to Make Bridges Free to Pc
destrians and Vehicles Tax-Free.
A Southside citizen who is tired of pay
ing bridge tolls offers the following sugges-
tion for free bridges in the Southside Meas:
MY idea is to have Councils appoint a
committee on the question to meet a similar
committee of the prominent bridge stock
holders or directors, and submit the follow
ing proposition: To endeavor to have the
foot passage ways declared free and still
maintain the rates on the driveways. The
only advantage gained at any time would
be all in the favor of the city. Then let the
city make a like sacrifice. Let an ordi-
nance be passed relieving the owners Of
teams from the payment of a vehicle license.
This would place everybody on an equitable
basis, and at the same time have practically
free bridges.

THE EVIDENCE OF ANOTHER LOVER.
Eyrsuds Wife Loyal to Elm and Gabrielle Watched Over
BY Rich and Youthful kdmirsr Of
Other DayL
rBY CABLE TO THE D1sPArcH.I


LONDON, Dec. 13.-The trial of
Michael Eyraud and Gabrielle Bompard
for the murder OF ToussaInt Augustin
Gouffe, which is to be begun in Paris next
Tuesday, promises to be one of the most
sensational causes celebraes ever tried in
France. Scarcely an element of the
grotesque, the horrible or the romantic
is lacking in the story of this
hideous crime; and aside from the tragedy
itself the scientific world takes eager inter-
est in the defense put forth by the woman,
to the effect that she had been hypnotized
by the strangler, and acted under the in
fuence of his superior will when she held
the arms Of her lover during the savage
struggle that ended in his death.
Difference of Medical Opinion.
1t is not yet certain that the court will
permit this plan to be raised publicly, and
indeed, three medical experts have prepared
a report, affirming that while her mental
condition was such as to render her liable
to hypnotic influence, she was responsible
for her actions. On the other hand physi-
clan of Nancy, who examined Gabrielle in
prison, considers that she was an irresponsi-
bic agent at the time of the murder, entirely
under the control of Eyraud.
There are neaaIy so witnesses to be e1-
amined, one of the most important of them
being the dealer who sold the trunk in which
Gouffe's body was carted away. Gabrielle's
chief witness is NJ. Garanger, for whom she
left Eyraud in America. His evidence will
prove how Gabrielle came to give herself
up to the police, and upon it would depend
the finding for her of extenuating circum-
stances. The most famous criminal law
yers in Paris are engaged in the case. The
public prosecutor is Quesnay de Beaupe-
paire. Eyraud will be defended by Maitre
Decori and Gabrielle by Maitre Henri
Robert.
Eyraud's Wife Loyal to Him.
Neither of the two prisoners is without
friends. Nine Eyraud, who so soon as the
police were convinced of her husbands
guilt, brought suit for divorce against him,
stopped the proceedings when he was ar
rested, and the lawyer who will defend him
on the trial is the same whom his wife had
engaged to conduct her suit Gabrielle has
an admirer in youth who knew her before
the affair Goute, who has given her jailers
carte blanche for her at one of the swell
restaurants. The result is that the lively

peated at the Second.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.-The break in
the machinery which occurred during the
hrst trial trip of the cruiser Newark
wednesday, was repaired Thursday night
and Friday morning the Newark was headed
out to sea again. The official trial had been
in progress for three hours when the two
bolts in the radial gear of the low pressure
cylinder of the starboard engine, which had
broken on Wednesday and had been re-
placed, broke again, and for the second time
the trial came to a close. The cruiser was
doing magnifcently and bid fair to surpass
expectations.
Owing to the accident, no official returns
of the trip will be made to the Navy De
partment, but 1t was learned that during the
three hours of the trial she logged an average
speed of 1877 knots, or about % miles an
hour. Although the indicator cards were
not worked out, it is thought that about
$500 horse power. 100 more than the speci-
fcatlons called for, was developed. If this
proves true, the Newark builders will make
a handsome bonus.

rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH1
LONDON, Dec. 13.-Literary Paris is
amusing itself bv drawing Ernst Renan, a
pleasure that it enjoys only at rare intervals.
1t appears that the two brothers
De Goncourt, who have been called
"The Siamese Twins of French
Literature" had a pleasant habit when
both were alive, of jottiug down every thing
they saw and heard. Edmond, the surviy-
ing brother, is now publishing these notes
in large volumes Among the incidents, he
relates that on September 6, 1870, he and his
brother were at dinner at Cape Bre-
bant and SO was Renan. The De
Goncourt journal says that Renan
declared that he had always been impressed
by the superiority of German intelligence
and work, and that when there was a storm
of objection he retorted: "Yes, 1 say that
they are superior to u.s. The Catechism
stultiies individuality. The education of
the Jesuits and OF the Brethren of the
Christian doctrine cramps all the indie
pendent faculties of the intelligence, whereas
Professionalism develops them"
Renan maintains that what he meant
at the time referred to by the literary
chroniclers was to eItol tie Germany of 80
years ago, which be always admired and
does so still. However, as the great literary
iconoclast has lost his temper and taken de
Goncourt's charge seriously, be is for the
first time in his life being laughed at. and he
does not like it.

A manifesto issued against it by the Com
merce Defense League reads like transla-

Mckinley bill. 1t says that the new French
tariff is not protection but prohibition, and
that it will lead to terrible reprisals from
foreign countries, resulting in loss of markets
for French supplies.

that the manager of the museum got certain
