Influence of the Priest. Among the Irish
Peasantry.

Pessantry.
Dunlap's Cable Dispatch to The Eysninr star.
DUBLIN. Dec. l5.-In the hot contest now be-
ing waged by the lIish hierarchy against Par
neil it is strange that neither he nor his friends
have thus far made any efficient Use of lsse
cables from Rome announcing the fact Of the
disapproyal of the pope of the political cam
paign in which his representatives are nov en-
gagged. This arraying Of the entire spiritual
force of the island against the nationalist lend-
ers has given rise to many comical incidents.
For many wears the pictures of Parnell and
other Irish leaders have hung in the cabins Of
the peasan;ry ~ household deities and in
memory of their services IN the past. Ar soon.
however. the manifesto of the bishops ap-
peared the priests issued orders that all like
nesses of Parnell must be DESTROYED. and i'm
some instances insisted on witnessing their re-
moyal from the walls. In one house il wss
found that Gladstone shared the place Of honor
with Psrnell. aud the woman not understanding
the demand not only pulled down the picture
of Gladstone, but broke the frame in pieces,
observing. she did 80. that ''she had always
suspected the 'ould gentleman As the priest
was unable to make her see her error he was
compelled to retire, leaving Parnell in posses-
sion of the field.

intimated that he would not devote as much
time to it as he did last year.
His reasons for this were that last wear the

1t. His past experience had served him well
''How about the Guy case" asked the re-

served in the Union army is entitled
to draw a pension under the disability
holds that the fact that the claimant
served in the confederate army prior to his en-

Tho financial committee of the Senate have
become impressed with the seriousness Of the
financial situation and at the same time Mr..
Mckinley's committee on ways and means has
come to a realization that the disturbing infiu-
ence of this tariff legislation has had an effect
on the money market.
The ways and means committee this morning
unanimously adopted the resolution introduced
by MIR. Flower. extending the bonded period
of goods imported under the old tariff law
from February to Jnly 1. The withdrawal Of
several million dollars necessary for the pay
ment "f duties payable February would have a
serious effect on the market at this time and
though Mr.. Mckinley has persistently declared
that this could not be the case he has been
forced to yield to a general demand for relief.
Mr.. Flower has received many letters indorsing
his action for introducing the resolution. and
formation to be had through the Treasury De-
partment.

the situation, for which he got the
approval of some of the leading
hhahciers III .NtW 10TH. anu WIN approval
of the President the plan submitted to the
committee with full explanation and strong
argument. The plan is merely a combination
and compromise i'm line with Mr.. Window s
well-known attitude, and is not new
at this time. He proposes the adop-
tion of his plan for interconvertible
bonds. in combination with the proposition for
the purchase of the s3 600 900 surplus silver and
the replacement Of national bank notes by the
purchase of silver fast the notes are re-
tired.
NO AGREEMENT OF THE SENATE FINANCE CON-
MITTEE.
The committee continued in session after
Mr. Window had left the Capital, but late in the
afternoon had not reached an agreement. The
representations Mr.. Window made of the
financial situation was such to impress the
committee with the necessity for prompt
action. They are, therefore, anxious that bill
should be ready fof consideration in the caucus
tonight.
Mr.. fioar is using all his influence TO post
pone the side tracking of the election bill until
several appropriation bills have been reported
