THE LEADERS SILENT
The Result of the Boulogne
Conference a Mystery.
PARNELL1TEs IN HIGH SPIRITS
a RumOr That Parnel and McOarty Will
Temporarily Retire.

English Tories Expect a Reconciliation
Ofthe Irish FactiOns-Parnell to Spend
Ten Days at Avondale-He Will Resume
the Campaign with an Address at Linn
srIck-o'Bricn Afraid of Arrest.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Parnellites have
returned to London in the highest spirits
No official statement of the doings of the
conference has been made, nor is it easy
to CLEAN any information from the various
parties to it. A correspondent telegraphs
from Boulogne, however, that from pri-
vate intimations there is no doubt that
the conference was satisfactory to Par
nell, who looked much better and less
worried than upon his arrival at Bou-
logne.
The same authority states that the
basis of agreement will be the temporary
retirement of Mr.. Parnell, and the with
drawal also of Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, a
Parnellite member of Parliament, prob
ably either DR.. Kenny or James O'Kelly,
taking command of the Irish party until
the general election, when the choice of
leader will be submitted to the newly
elected members
Specializing ON Chances.
Inc EngnSn tories, according TO the
talk going on in the clubs, apparently
expect a reconciliation of the two Irish
factions. The adjournment of the con-
ference was to give time for consulting
the various members as to the basis of
the agreement. The Parnellite adherents
seemed to be in the highest spirits on
their return to London. Mr.. Redmond
intimated that Mr.. Parnell had offered
to retire if Mr.. O'Brien was named as
leader. AS Mr.. O'Brien will be confined
in prison for six months after he arrives
in Ireland, this scheme would leave Par
nell practically in control of affairs dur
ing that period. Meanwhile he would
have fine opportunity to strengthen his
forces, and the sequel would doubtless be
his triumphant reelection as chairman
of the party.
Mr.. Vincent Scully's solicitor is already
at work on the proposed petition for a
election in Kilkenny on the ground of
undue priestly interference on behalf Of
the successful candidate.

SUPPOSED TO BE LOST.
Fears Entertained for the Safety q
Several Vessels.

HALIFAX, N. s.. Jan. The three,
masted schooner Conecul, Capt. Harris,
which sailed from Shelburne for New
York three weeks ago, is believed to have
foundered.
The three-masted schooner Amanda
sailed hence for New York with a cargo
OF fish on December 10 and
was so demoralized by heavy gales
that she put into Shelburne for
repairs and supplies. She sailed
thence Friday, and on Sunday off Seal
Island was struck by blizzard which
swept her decks, smashed her boats and
carried away her sails. She returned to
Shelburne.
The bark Topsy. from Kingston, ia
maica, to Caymas Islands, has been
wrecked, and the captain and five of her
crew drowned.
A Malone Bay dispatch says that great
fears are entertained for the safety of
the schooner Laura B. Winters, which
sailed from Boston for that place twelve
days ago and has not been heard of She
was manned by Capt. Gabriel Winters
and a crew of five men and is believed to
have carried several passengers. She had
a cargo of flour. She is believed to have
capsized in a squall on the Goth last.
All steamers arriving here report hav-
ing experienced very rough weather the
past fortnight.

His Divorced Wife Seeking to Have His
Sentence Committed.
PARIS, Jan. Mime. Eyraud has
asked for an interview with Nine. Carnot
with view to securing the latter's in
fuence with her husband, the President,
to induce him to commute the strang-
ler's sentence.
The poor woman has not the slightest
prospects of success, as the public are
unanimously of opinion that Eyraud
should be guillotined with as little delay
as possible.
The condemned mans daughter will
visit her father tomorrow, taking with
her small sum of money earned by her.
This she will give to the Governor of La
Roquette with the request that it be used
to purchase few comforts for Eyraud.
Several written proposals of marriage
have been sent to the unfortunate girl,
and even Nine. Eyraud has been tor
mented by wealthy admirer who de-
clares that he is ready to share his life
and fortune with her.
Some heartless person sent registered
parcel to Nine. Eyraud containing one of
the toy copies of the Gouffe trunk that
are now sold ON the boulevards.
In fact, since the arrest of the guilty
husband and father his wife and daugh-
ter have been compelled to change their
address no less than three times to avoid
the opportunities of photographers,
tradespeople, religious enthusiasts and
others.
They hope that with the final act OF
the tragedy they will be allowed to pass
into obscurity.

It is Said that Attempts Have Been
Made to Break the Organization.
KEARNEY, N. j., Jan. AT a general
meeting of the Spinners' Association
here, reports were received from the 12
men who within a few days have been
approached by the Clark factory over
seers and urged to return to work next
Monday.
The men told similar stories. Each
had been approached by Overseer Dock
rey or Overseer Monks, and under the
guise of friendship they had endeavored
to induce them to abandon the policy of
the spinners. They are said to have
acknowledged that they were sent out on
their mission by the Clarks.
Deckery said that the twelve men
named by the Clarks would never again
be employed by the mills, no matter
what it cost the company.
At yesterdays meeting the spinners
decided by a rising vote not to return to
work until the twelve men were rein
stated.
1t SIS not generally believed that the
Clarks will attempt to open the spin,
ming department on Monday.

MILES TO THE FRONT
The Indian Fighter to Arrive
at Pine Ridge To-Day.
GOVERNMENT CATTLE STOLEN.
dostiles Send Word to Friendly Indiani
That All Spies Would Be Killed.

Determined Effort to Burn q Mission
SchoOl-An the Ranches ON the White
River Robbed-One Town Filled with
Settlers, and the Refugees Occupy the
Court House-ExpeCting Blizzard.
CHADRoN, Neb., Jan. I. -General Miles
left here at a. m. for Pine Ridge. He
expects to arrive, at the agency at
O'Clock. The three companies of the
First Infantry that left here last night
camped on Beaver Greek, 20 miles from
here, and will escort the general to the
agency from there. Colonel Casey, with
the remaining company, left here at II
O'Clock. The colonel said they expected
to camp at Addaton, as the settlers there
are very much alarmed and wholly un-
protected.
A scout came in late last night from
the vicinity of White River. near the
mouth of Hay Creek, and reports all the
ranches on the White River robbed,
ponies stolen and cattle killed. He said
that three cattle men left the ranches
after they heard of the engagement be-
tween Forsyth and Big Foot's band, and
that they have not returned yet. It is
feared that they have been killed: The
hostiles sent word to the friendly Indians
that all spies would be killed.
Occupied by Refugees.
1t is reported that John Dicer, chief
herder of the government, had to leave
the government herd, which consists Of
about 5000 cattle, and look out for his
own life. The herd has been seized and
appropriated by the Indians. The town
is filled with settlers, who live between
here and the agency. Every available
aouse and the court house is occupied by
refugees. Captain Burke, of Company
E, received official notice from General
Brooke to make every possible prepare
ton for defending the town, and also to
notify the settlers.
Attack on a Mission.
1t was thought that last night the
mission school was burned, as people who
came from Bear Valley said they could
see the reflection of a fire, but this
turned out to be an Indian village of the
sriendless. However, determined effort
was made to burn the school and the
hostiles succeeded in setting it on fire
several times. 1t was only by desper-
ate effort that it was saved. A great
many who are posted claim there Is no
immediate danger to railroad towns, but
the seriousness of the situation cannot
be exaggerated.
There is about two inches of snow on
the ground now, and it is showing hard,
with a strong wind from the northwest
The prospects are excellent for a bliz-
zard, and as a great many settlers have
left their homes, if we do not have a
blizzard the loss of life and property will
be great.

H0 Is Billed to be Present at the Next
Irish Conference.
DUBLIN Jan. 1.-The 'Freeman's
Journal" says that Mr.. Timothy Harring-
ton will probably attend the next meet
ing between Messrs. O'Brien and Parnell.
The Journal believes the outlook for
an amicable settlement of the matters at
issue between the Irish leaders to be
hopeful. 1t considers that the pro-
longed interchange of views which was
had at Boulogne Tuesday must have
tended to the evolution of basis of
agreement.
On Monday evening, Mr.. Parnell went
from London to Brighton, and returned
to London Tuesday morning in time to
make the Folkestone train and catch the
Channel steamer for Boulogne
There is no truth in the published re-
port that Mr.. Parnell went to Paris,
thereby inferring that he had visited
Mrs. O'Shea.
According to the Dublin Express"
independents Conservative it is Mr..
William O'Brien's intention to surrender
himself to the police early in January, in
order to serve two erms of six months
Imprisonment to which he was sentenced
on Nov. 10.

sioners made a report on the accident on
the Hyannis branch of the Old Colony
Railroad, near Yarmouth, on November

Superintendent c. H. Nye, as the defec-
tive system of giving train orders was

General Spinner was known chiefly
through his connection with the United

greenbacks, looked so much like a
crooked line that he received the name
of "Spider" Spinner. During General
Grants lifetime Spinner retained a GER
tain amount of influence even after he
had retired from the Treasury Depart
ment, for the General had considerable
admiration for the man who could write
so badly. After Grants death, however,
Spinner, Belknap, Williams and many
other second termers fell out of public
