NEW YEARS DAY IN TACOMA.
Much Quiet Enjoyment of the Holiday
Large Sales of POST Intelligencer.

Large Sales Of Observation-Disclosures"
TACOMA, Jan. Especial. New Years
day passed off quietly in Tacoma The
Union Club and many private citizens
kept open house. By far the most notice
able feature of the day was the absence of
hilarious revelers on the streets. But few
arrests for drunkenness were made during
the day and evening, showing that per-
haps few of the New Year resolutions
have not been violated for the first twelve
hours of the year.
In the evening the Woman's Relief
Corps gave reception and ball, at the
Sons of Veterans hail. to the g. A. Il. and
Sons of Veterans and their friends.
at the Tacoma hotel the latchstring was
hung on the outside by Manager Pres
brey, who assumed charge of the hotel
with the beginning of the new year, sue
ceeding W. III. Lee, who contemplates
visiting New York city for time. During
the dinner hour band concert was given
on the yeranda. Later in the evening the
Cotillion Club gave the fourth of delight
full series Of cotillions in parlor A of the
hotel. The attendance was unusually
large.
At the Tacoma theater standing room
was at a premium, the attraction being
the Swedish singers, local sextette under
Professor Joy enhancing the attractive
ness of the performance.
The manner in which the forty-page
New Years edition of the PosT-INTELLr-
GENcER was bought up, is worthy of special
mention. Everywhere throughout the
city the papers went like "hot cakes" the
Tacoma edition being exhausted early in
the day. The street sales alone aggregated
over 500 copies.
With the opening of the New Year there
is growing belief in financial circles that
money will be more plenty and more get
at-able than for the past six weeks.

Support, Sent From Tacoma, False.
SPOKANE FALLS, Jan. Especial. THE

Bishop O'Cal1ahan Spoils the InstaIla-

Bishop O'Callahan Spoi1s the InstaIIa-

CORK, Jan. 1.-The feud existing between
Irish bishops and the Parnellites, which
has been smouldering since election in
North Kilkenny, again burst forth fierccly
today, and the most bitter feeling prevades
on both sides.
Mayor Horgan, an earnest supporter OF
Parncll, was installed at the town hall as
mayor of Cork today, and there was e
scene of intense enthusiasm on the part Of
the Parnellites. No anti-Parnellitcs were
present. A rumor was circulated early in
the day that there was trouble brewing for
the Parnellite mayor, and the trouble man-
ifested itself when the arrangements were
being made during the morning for the
customary installation at the Catholic
cathedral, which has always formed g. psnt
of the days proceedings. The
were then informed, frs
afterward by positive fac
lation ceremonies at the l-uSE s.
abandoned, as Bishop O'e0l1a5an refused
to receive the Parnellite mayor.
This information was greeted with many
signs Of extreme indignation by the Par
nellites, who are now convinced the battle
with the priesthood is only in its early
stages, and that long and desperate
struggle for supremacy between themselves
throughout Ireland, if Parnell remains at
the head of faction of the Irish party.
DUBLIN, Jan. Lord Mayor Meade was
installed today amid scene of consider
able excitement. Sexton and Healy were
roundly hissed by the crowd present, and
the mention of Parnell's name was cheercd
to the echo
