ParneIl Gradually Losing Ground.

ICopUighted 1891 by James Gordon Belnei.1
LONDON, April A. New York Herald
Cable-Special to The BEE. MIR. Parnell
is nursing black eye which he got at Sligo.
1t hurts worse than the mud thrown at Xii
kenney. The impression is gaining ground
fast among his adherents that Parnells party
will soon be thing of the past He failed to
give the Irish priests credit for enough pluck
and persistence.
The English press takes an important view
of the Italian A mercan question, but Eng.
lishmen generally are outspoken in favor Of
the United States.
William Mercer of Gains borough writes as
fellows to the Herald :s"As an Englishman
am unwilling to interfere in dispute that
doubtless all Americans will be disposed to
arraign in a loyal serious and just manner,
but my quality of Britain cannot prevent me
from saving that at last, after years the
Italian govern rnment deserves TO be paid in its
own coin, and to be summarily told that its
own action In a case where it has refused all
redress has prejudiced fatally its subjects,
and, like curses are prov verbally said TO
do, 1t has come home now TO roost.
The English and American press, the
house OF commons and the Italian court
OF justice all stroye in vain from November
4, lS72 till now to obtain an apology and re-
dress and compensation for the outrage of
thumbscrewlng and false prisonment suf-
fered at the hands of the Italian police near
Casteamare, Naples. Not sign OF regret
did the Italian government its people or
press make during the long and weary strug-
gle then embarked in. The Italian govern
ment in formed the English government that
the police we're severely punished, and later
when the claim for indemnity was put for
ward they said that they had been acquitted
and no claim would lie in law. Finally the
italian minister OF foreign affairs declared in
the Italian parliament house that they were
never tried at all, Such men are your pres
ent dealers in intern ational iustice.n
Lord Granville who died March 81 and whose
body was taken TO Stone Cody for interment,
was very different man from his father.
The latter was first wearied OF his title. He
was the greatest plunger OF hls time. He
would sit for twenty four hours at whist or
any other game in which chance orskill were
the features. He lost fl3,0 az one sitting
at whist. His son never touched cards. The

Observation-Disclosures scnote Cbamber.

LINCOLN, Neb,, April 4. Special to The
BEE. E.I-This morning the joint committee on
final adjournment Of the house and senate
reported in favor of bringing the session to
close at 10 O'Clock tonight. The report was
adopted.
This report would have been made earlier,
had it not been understood that the repre-
sentative and senatorial apportlOnment bill
was TO be passed. This morning, however, it
was discovered that the bill gave salts faction
to but few of the senator's and accordingly
the latter decided TO kin it. This they did
late The body was then ready TO go home.
Senators began to pack up the legislative
files they have thumbed the past three
months, and to clean out the desks which,
perhaps, shall know them no more. Boxes
Were brought from the cellar, the attic and
the stores in town and filled with circulars,
letters, state publications and congressional
documents which have accumulated during
the session. CuspldOrs, very fancy ones,
too, by the way were wrapped up
carefully and deposited in paper nests as
souvenirs of Legislative expectations. The
paper baskets which have been kicked and
battered and, at times, sent flying through
the air with truck OF lighter description
and conided to committee clerks with in
str,lctions to see them safely on board the
train. One of thefe bas kets, containing four
porcelain cuspdors, wds obligingly bundled
up by IA distinguished gentleman who
this morning, returned home after hav-
ing TtCclNCu II certain appointment
He had consented 10 act as porter for several
legislators, though some people who saw him
with his load thought he was providing for
himself.
Photographs which, for the past week have
made their appearance at intervals, today
circulated most freely, the members exchang-
ing them with warm expressions of friend
ship and hopes of again meeting one another
this side of the grave.
The lobby was almost deserted, only few
of the workers making their appearance
These represented importants interests, and
feared that bills calculated to injure them
might even at the last moment be rushed
through the body.
This was Il precaution which, however, was
not justified. The members were tired and
only too glad to get home
There were only two absentees at the af-
ternoon session, Messrs. Shea and Taylor
The former unfortunately has been absent
nearly all the session, and his absence has
been a source of regret to many of the men,
bers who felt that he could have been of a
great deal Of service had it not been for his
unfortunate illness The absence of the
other sen ator was not greatly felt.

Miners,intcrnntjonnI Congress.

LONDON, April Al Special Cablegram to
rHE BEE. The trou ole in the miners inter
national congress at Paris is similar to that
which displayed itself at the Berlin confer
ence. The English repres entatives, whose
constituency is comparatively we'll paid and
inclined to be conscrv atlve, are brought in
contact with people who identify the caused
miners and laborers generally with extreme
socialism, and whose methods and sugges-
tions are not such as EnghShmen care to ap-
prove for the reason that En- glish miners long
ago passed the stage where such methods
and suggestions are possible The English
delegates are determined not to be bound in
advance to follow the dictates of the
socialistic majority, when such dictates
may involve anagonism to constituted
authority. They prefer the Ems lish TO the
continental way of agitation and they are re-
solved besides not to enter into any arrange
ment that will withhold from British mining
industries their due proportion of influence
and representation The latest adviceS indi-
cate that, for these reasons principally, the
conference may fail to effect u universal COM
binuton Of miners.

the wagons and, driving some cattle with
them, commenced their fatal journey across
the alka plains. Itturned out that either
Smiths story was false or he had forgotten
his bearings, for they soon lost their way and
did not follow any dohulte trail. Their cat
tie died for want of wpter and then their
horses were also left to bleach their bones
upon the arid, burning, sandy plains of Utah
and Nevada.
Abandoning everything but their guns the
men struggled on to their inevitable doom.
Finding n spring only at rare intervals, and
being unable to carry any quantity of water,
ard not daring to stop, they were soon in a
terrible condition from thirst and lack of
nou urshment. One by one the weaker Of tho
little band dropped TO the ground never to
arise again, and wero left to their fate.
In his Ii ifetime NJ. Nusbaumer often related
with great feeling the pathetic and heart
rendering incidents OF his awful journey.
When man fell he know 1t was for the last
time, and those who thus perlshed met their
end like men. Once one of the party,
being unable to arise was left to die,
he declaring he could not go another
step. a few miles beyond the
others came to n spring. Fillinghis cantcen,
Nusbaumer FASTENED back to his fallen COM
rade. But he was dead, and the ground
around him was torn mp in his agonizing
struggles.
GOLD DAzzLED THEIR EYES.
At last all had succumbed tn their hard
sh ips but Nusbaumer aud one companion
| While wandering about Death valley scarcely
knowing or caring where they were going,
and borne along by their remarkable vitality
| and pluck, they discovered phenomenally
| rich gold mine. 1t was a ledge Nusbau mer
has stated from which the gold in the out
| groupings of rich quartz glistened brightly in
| the sun, and it was the shining metal that
| first caught their weary eyes.
They broke off some rich specimens with
their knives and continued their journey over
the valley, subsequently coming to a spring
in the western hills about thirty miles from
where they had found the gold. They hero
rested and eventually struck the Williams
| ranch and bcheld the firsthuman face besides
| those of their ill-fated companions since they
| had left the train. In due time they reached
| their destination, but Nusbaumor and his
| brave comrade never made an attempt to find
| the mine in the search for which so many
| have since lost their lives. They took what
| bearings they could, the principal point Of
| location being the little spring in the hills
| whose COOL refreshing water had saved their
lives.
Nusbaumer kept diary OF the events Of
his struggle for life, and it is thought still to
| be in the possession of the family. He was q
small, compactly built, wlry man, of great
| energy and mental and physical force and Of
| indomitable perseverance, and pluck.

LINCOLN, Neb., April A gentleman
high in Irish national league ranks, who is
authorized to speak for President Fitzgerald,
stated today that the statement said to have
been made by DR.. O'Reilly of St Louis init
mating that Fitzgerald mad called the council
of the Irish national leage together for the
purpose Of endorsing Parnell, is false, Tho
league by its constitution and resolutions Of
its conventions has heretofore been pledged
to assist Parnel and colleagues. At present

such grave responsibility that fitzgerald felt
it his duty place 1t before the council Of
