KAISER WILLIAM UNDER FIRE.

Opposition Organs Attack His Policy
All Around.
Copyright, 1891, by NesO York Associated Press)
BERLIN, Jan. 3.-The relations between
the conservative majority In the Landtag
and the government increase in hostility.
The Cologne Gazette, the Hamburg Mach =
riehten and other organs of the opposition
attack Emperor Williams policy all around
The review of the year became the pretext
for bitter criticism, contrasting the En-
peror's promise of reforms with their Mega
tive results. The Cologne Gazette warns
Chancellor Won Caprivi that nothing smore
dangerous than unrealized promises The
government, it says, since Prince Bis
marck's retirement, has achieved nothing.
The projects for labor reforms, an altera-
ton of the system of taxation, the new
school system, the new customs system, and
new communal legislation have opened up
prospective Of internal conflict Of which
it is impossible to foresee the consequences.
TENDING TO CRISIS.
Munich semi-offlcial papers refer openly
to the internal policy of the empire, and de-
clare that it is tending to crisis. The
treaty with Austria Is threatening an influx
of Hungarian corn, and the emperor's dal-
lance with the labor laws has made the
Bnvarian members Of the Reichstag turn
longing eyes upon FREDERICKSBURG.
The year promises to be stormy parlia-
msntary period for the government, with
the probable temperance of Prince Bis
marck in the forefront of events.
STOKES COMPLAINTS AGAINST EMIN.
The National Gazette, as the organ of
the colonial party, explains the reasons for
the complaints Of Mr.. Stokes, the English
trader, regarding Emin Pasha. 1t appears
that Stokes left Saadanl in June under
orders from Baron Wissmann, TAX
the value of $4,000, besides $4,000
on behalf Of Zanzibar firms. Emin's warlike
ways prevented Mr.. Stokes from disposing
Of these goods. hence the traders wrath.
The National Gazette does not allege that
Capt WissnanA was interested In Mr.. Stokes
venture, but its statement suggests that
the baron did have an interest Ia the enter
prise.
RUSSIA AND MEXICO.
The Mexican legation here has learned
that the Russian government is about to es-
tablish diplomatic relations with Mexico. A
delegation will shortly leave ST. Petersburg
for the Mexican capital.
The intensity OF the frost is abatiDg. The

A CONFERENCE AT sOorTDALE.

The Operators Refuse to Grant the
Demands of the Men.
PITTsBURG. Pa, Jan. IA joint con-
ference of the coke operators and miners
representatives of the Connellsville
region was held in Scottdale to-day to con-
slider the demands of the miners for the en-
suing year. The latter asked eight hours
day, weight scales erected at all tpples, and
total reputation Of all non-union men in
the region. The coke interests were largely
represented, and refused fatty to even con
slider the mems demands, pleading the late
reduction in the price of coke
and the depressed state Of the
trade as an excuse After
a stormy session the meeting dissolved with
out agreement. At later meeting the op-
orators prepared an answer to the miners
and cokers' demands, giving their reasons
for refusing to even consider the questions
and asking the men to bs generous before
finally deciding TO throw 1900 men out of
employment. The employees have until
Feb. to decide whether or not they will
accept the new scale.

o'sHEA's RACE IN 1855.
A Franciscan Monk Throws Some
Light on the Campaign.


Light on the Campaign.
ten letter from the Franciscan convent at
Drogheda He says: "As to Capt. O'shea's
nomination for the Galway election Of 1886,
can throw light upon the foul calumnies
uttered about Mr. Parnell and Capt. O'Shea.
From undoubted authorities present it
can be proved that no shadow of
suspicion rests upon the politi-
cal purity OF the motive actuating Mr..
Parnell when he decided to run Capt.
OShea for Galway. He hoped thereby to
secure Capt, O'Shea's influence aad to in
duee coalition Of the eighty-six Irish
members OF parliament with the English
Liberal party. Mr.. Psrnell'S anxiety was
SO great to obtain this result that ne carried
Capt. O'Shea forward against all opposi-
tlon and without sxactiug the usual
political pledges. In spite Of the fact that
few stones had been left unturned to ruin
Capt. O'Shea's reputation and lessen his
pocket, believe him worthy of his friends
esteem for his kind-heartedness and his
right sense OF great moral virtues
In the event OF another election in
Galway, | should act In a similar manner
to prove my belief in Mr.. Parnell's honesty
at that time. / could bear witness that the
proceedings In the divorce court had no
connection with the Gala way matter 80
far as Capt. OShea was concerned.
MAY NOT RESUME THE CONFERENCE.
PARIS, Jan. 3.--Mr. OfBrien will not re-
sume his conference with Mr.. Parnell unless
the proposed negotiations obtain such sane
tton from the leaders of the majority Of the
Irish party as will justify the hope OF the
reunion of tho party. In the meantime Mr..
O'Brien declines to state whether, in CON-
munications passing between himself
and Messrs. Dillon and Mccarthy
and others, they promise their
approval of further negotiations. The
opinion Of the Irish group in this city is
unfavorable TO the resumption Of the Oon-
ference at Boulogne-sur- Mer. It is reported
that Mr.. Davitt has written a letter to Mr..
O'Brisn not to deal with Mr.. Parnell except
as a medium to obtain the surrender Of the
party's banking account in Paris. Nine.
Raffal0evich, Mr.. O'Brion's mother-in-law,
says Mr.. O'Brien will not return to Ireland
to enter prison, leaving the party foud un-
settled. While the rupture lasts, she say s,
he can better serve the cause here or in
America.

CRISIS OF TIE FORCE BILL.
This Week to Decide the Fate Of the
Measure IN the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. Senator Hoar
evidently thinks that the fate of the force
bill is to be q ally settled next week. He
has had a telegram sent to ever sabsent re-
publican senator, urging him to be present
on Monday and to remain continually after
ward. It Is in response to such telegram
shat Senator Ingalls, is hurrying east before
be thought he would come. So far, how
ever, two senator's. Messrs. Squire of Wash
ington and Paddock Of Nebraeka, have re-
piled that they cannot come. Neither
of them like the force bill,
Mr.. Paddock positively dislikss it, and Mr..
Squire has the ground that he has to go to
Washington to look after his senatorial
affairs. The whip telegram also brought
here Senator Jones of Nebraska, who has
been absent for month. He will act with
the free coinage men.
Senator Hoaris hope is to compel all the
free coinage men, whether they attend the
caucus Monday or not, to join him in the
attempt to wear out the democrats,
PLANS OF THE DEMOCRATS.
The democrats are preparing to make a
vigorous fight. The leaders in both houses
will confer on Monday to that end. The
senators will arrange to relieve each other
during the tug Of war. The first question
for the representatives is how to treat the
appropriation bills, which will be broaght
forward by Speaker Reed next week to the
exclusion Of the subsidy bill and all other
proposed legislation, so as to get them
through and over to the Senate to the end
that as soon as the force bill fight ls over
the appropriation bills might be put right
through. The democrats realize that If the
force bill gets through the Senate il viii
become a law almost Immediately, for
Speaker Reed will give the democrats in the
House no opportunity to delay, and will
force concurrence in the Senate's amended
bill without reference to a conference COM
mittee. I6 will not be, of course, the
Lodge bill, but it will still be Davenport

age at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 3-To-day
Judge Harley B. Morse and George c.
Aerriek of Denver, Col, called at the mint
and presented a brick ofsilyer and de-
manded that it be coined into money for
them. Col. Bohyshell, the Superintendent,
refused to recsivs it for private coinage.
Mr.. Merrick then presented a formal de-
mand in writing and asked Supt BODY
she'll for a letter certifying that
they had offered them the silver for coin
age and been refused, so that there would
be no trouble in proving that fact in court,
where they proposed to test the right Of the
government to refuse the bullion. Col.
Bobyshell complied with the request.
The ground upon which they based the de-
mand. they claim, is a constitutional one,
and denies the right OF the government to
make seignorage. Bobyshen based the re-
fusal on the act Of congress of Feb. II, 1873.
Messrs. Merrick and Morse will carry tho
case to the United States supreme court.

Broad Top Fields Go Out.
HUNTINGDON, Pa, Jan. S.-The miners
in the Broad Top and East Broad Top btu
minous coal fields went out on strike yes
terday. This step was the direct result OF
the advanced position assumed in the early
part of the week by the Clearield miners,
and Affects about 8, 600 men. These dissat-
isfied miners are said to be but
poorly equipped to endure an ex-
tended strike at this time, as they
have been only working about
half time for several months An indirect
cause Of the strike was the attitude
assumed by leading firm operating in that
district in reducing their output and giving,
it is alleged, warning to the coal carrying
companies to lay in sufficient supply for
motive purposes. The present attitude of
the miners, in demanding that they be paid
by the gross instead OF the net ton, is in
dicative of a stubborn and protracted fight
