LONDON, Dec. 23.-The passengors
and crew of abe burned steamship Abys-
sinia arrived in this city this morning and
were sent out to Liverpool. All the pas
sengers luggage and every bit of the
cargo was lost. Purscr Breudt said the
Abysinia had a fair passage until o'clock
in the afternoon of Dec. IS, when smoke
was noticed coming from beneath the
matches of the third hole in which cotton
was slowed. The hose was rugged and
the Donkey engine started Immediately.
The crew worked as hard as they possibly
could, but almost Immediately flames
burst out and drove the men back from
the hatch. The lookout reported the
Spree standing up in the offlng. She
bore down and sent off boats to assist
just before this Capt. Murray had de
cIded hat the Abvssinia could not be
saved and had ordered the boats made
ready. All were soon safely on board the
Spree and before TWO hours had elapsed
the AbysSinia was a mass of flames.
When the fire first broke out the most
intense excitement prevailed. A number
OF the crew became panic stricken and
rushed hither and thither with no ida
what they were doing. Two of them
were so frightened that they jumped into
the sea. One of these men was rescued
but the other one was drowned. Capt.
Murray presented a calm demeanoI
throughout and soon restored the pant
stricken men to a state OF perfect discl
pline. Purser Brent spoke very highly o
the treatment accorded the Abyssiuia't
people on bolrd the Spree Capt.
Willigerod and the officers and crew did
everything for their comfort and treated
them in the kindcst manner possible.

LOUISVILLE, Dee 23.-Ir the Courier
Journal tomorrow Editor Henry W. Wat.
terson will have an editorial on Speaker
Crisp and the new committees. He will
say. in part: For the first time in the
history Of the Democratic party 10 con.
gress is the principle laid down that the
organization OF the house is a mater not
of friendly rivalry among friends, but Of
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT and fractional
power. We had hoped for better things.
A stronger man than Crisp might have
paused before giving himself and party
over to this.
patterson says Springer has not shown
any peculiar capacity to lead the
house. Hi, selection smacks toe
much Of the discharge of an obligation
and pretcXt to turn down aud degrade 3
man who has done eminent work in tn,
great movement and who has engaged
the confidence of Democrats everywhere. .
Wattcrson speaks of the intimations that
there was a deal Of the regulation New
York pattern between the new sneaker
and his backer~, by which the Demo-
cratic principles are to be sacrificed to
congressional aud presidential b9rgains,
then indeed will the hosts If democracy
rise in their might aud in their wrath,
scattering these lmpIous de Toilers Of the
truth and faith like a herd Of cattle.
The future alone can determine this,
but a, the present there Is no time for
mincing words, 1t is the time for, plain
talk. The speakers experiment starts
ont with almost universal distrust of the
Democrats in every part of the union.
The overcoming Of this and the establish
ment Gifts claim 10 public confidence can
only be achieved by tie display OF great
earnestness, perfect fidelity aud uuie-
niable competency. Mr.. Crisp should
from this time forward keep before his
eyes the awful spectre of Keifcr.

SAN FRANCIsCo, Dec. % The grand
jury iupauuelIed several months ago
made a final report today and was dis
charged. The Jury has been engaged
investigating scandals affecting the mem
bers Of the last legislature and returned
indictments against a number of the
legislators. The supreme court decided
against the legality of the jury on the
ground that the lower court exceeded
the jurisdiction in appointing an elIser to
select jurors.
In its report the jury refers to the in
vcstigations affecting the legislature. The
report is impersonal. In substance the
Jury states it has discovered that a great
deal of corruption existed. Had not the
supreme court decided it an illegal body
the Jury states it would have initiated
such measures as would have resulted In
the permanent abatement OF this evil, and
would return so many indictments that
the people of the state would have been
appalled,.
The Jury say the testimony showed the
assessments lcvid on a number of corpora
tions by one political manager amounted
to $780, 600 annually. and that a large
number of employees Of the municipality
had been assessed certain percentages of
their salaries for political purposes. The
export in closing reviews the condition Of
the various departments, especially com
mendlng the educational department.
Judge Wallace, in accepting the re-
port, reviewed the proceedings leading
up to the appointment of an ellser, stating
the coroner and sheriff (who, the statutes
provide. must first be afforded the power
OF selecting the jurors before the elIser
can be appointed in the event of a failure
OF a %venlre) were iudiciaLly aud openly
challenged and announced to be incom-
petent and disqualified and that their
offices were to rave been investigated.
He criticised the supreme court for
overlooking this point, further holding
that prior decisions OF the supreme court,
in the Raymond case, of finding the grand
Jury was a de facto j1ry, and a late
derision in the Bruner case, where 1t was
held the Jury had no legal existence, were
utterly inconsistent. In closing. Judge
Wallace said: Some one has blundered,
Justice has been defeated and az investi.
CATION of grave abuses has been stopped.

Death Of Father Kelly.

It is with regret That The IRISH
STANDARD this week announces the death
of Rev. T. A. Kelly, the efficient pastor
of ST. Patrick's church, Eau CLAIRE,
which occurred last Tuesday evening,
He passed away from amidst life's
scenes at the early age of 80 years, loved
and respected by all with whom he came
in contact. With the death of Father
Kelly, St. Patrick's congregation of
Eau Glare has lost two noble Irish
pastors first Father Collins, now Father
Kelly. The latter has been IN i'll health
for some time, and his death was not en-
tirely unexpected, however deeply de-
plored. He was for seven years pastor
of the Hudson Catholic church, and
succeeded the much lamented Father
Collins as pastor of the congregation
His parents live in Ireland. He was
ordained at Lac Crosse sixteen years ago.
With that generosity characteristic of
the Eau Claire Irish Catholics, over
$500 was subscribed for the purpose OF
sending the now dead pastor abroad in
order that his failing health might be
restored. The good act will not be for
gotten. Requiesc 1t in pace. 3
