siderable length and some changes made
from the reports pressed by the commit
tees, and were opposed by some of the
Superintendents, bat l cannot give the
names of any of them except Superin-
tendent Wilkinson, Of Edgecombe The
reason why | rec ,llect the name of Su-

posed to both measures.

LONDON, Jan. 2.-The McCarthyites
are deeply stirred over the statement
that Parnell and OBrien have practi
cally come to terms. Tim Healey is re
ported as saying "While | have the
greatest respect for Mr.. O'Brien, that
very respect prevents me from believing
it possible that he could attempt to over
ride the will of the majority, who have
deliberately chosen Justin Mccarthy as
leader Of the Irish Parliamentary party.
The English liberals, without whom We
could not get home rule il thousand
years, will shun any arrangement die.
tated by Mr.. Parnell The Mccarthy
ties are evidently resolved to- stand By
the arrangements already made, and
kilograms have been sent TO Mr.. Q Brieu

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 9-Argument was be-
gun In the United States Circuit Court to-day
before Judges Acheson and Butler. on the ap-
plication Of tho Interstate Commerce Com
mission. to have the Court enforce it's order
made against the Lehigh Valley. in what Is
known as the Coke Brothers suit. made on
March II. 1890
Simon Stern Of New York. who represents
the Commission. then submitted several
yoluminous paper books and entered into q
history Of the case. A mandatory Injunction.
he said. would be asked later on. requiring
the defendant to carry coal for Coke Brothers
and other private shippers at the rates which
he claimed had been given to the Lehigh Val.
ley Coal Company. OF which the defendant
holds nearly all the stock.
The controversy arises in this shape: Coke
Bros. d Co. claimed that coal shipped by them
from sundrv places in the anthracite regions
over the Lehigh Valley Railroad to Perth Am
boy. N. j.. was subjected to higher rates than
the coal sent by the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany. The matter was before the Inter State
Commerce Commission. which decided in
favor OF Coke Bros. & Co.. but the decree for
contempt Of compliance with its order could
not be enforced. Now the courts aid Is in
voked. Numerous interesting legal questions
arise: and the outcome is eagerly awaited. as
# is the first case Of the kind coming before
