Parnell,s Lieutenants.

Mr.. Parnell is determined to follow
up his successes in Ireland by the inn
mediate conversion of America, and
he has chosen a corps Of deputies well
fitted to make an impression there.
How admirable has been his selection
the following list will show: Henry
Harrison is the stalwart young man
who interposs1 between MIR. Morley
and n policeman's baton at Upper
ary, receiving on his own head the
blow intended for the statesman. Mr..
OSKelly is an American born. Bed
mond is one of the most aggressive
men in the National league and John
O'Connor was intrusted with United
Ireland Immediately after it's capture
by Parnell. They viii follow close in
the wake of the McCarthyites, and
stump the United States from Canada
to the Gulf. MIR. O'Kelly says that
he had no doubt of the success of the
mission. The party, he said. were
like the head of Ireland with Parnell,
because they knew Ireland as anation,
not Ireland as the foe of the English
party politics. They know the home
rule that Parnell wants is real home
rule, and not q mockery. The union
of the party under thu old leadership
was a question OF probably not q
long time. Mr.. O'Kelly characterized,
as the height of impudence the at
tempt of certain English liberals to
dictate who the leader of the Irish,
party should or should not be.

The. Blue and the Gray.

The Confederate veterans of Vicks-
burg, Miss, have sent to Monticello,
ILL.,, to an alde-de-camp Of the COM
mander-in-chief OF the Grand Army of
the Republic plans for the proposed
reunion OF the blue and the gray at
Chicago during the worlds fair. The
plan, as outlined by Col. E. c. Carroll
and Maj. Lamar Fontaine, OF the Con-
federate army, is to have a pavilion
erected at Chicago to be called the
"Blue and the Gray" for the old vet
Grams OF both armies, in which the
flags, swords, guns, and other relics
will be stored, the veterans to camp
in tents furnished by the war depart
ment. The various states will beask-
ed to furnish transportation for the
old soldiers within their borders and
the government will be asked to furn-
ish rations, the Blue and the Gray
building to be built by all the states
combined. The governors OF the dit
terent states will appoint committees
to carry out the programmes. The
reunion is expected to last from ten to
thirty days. The confederates have
written to the president asking his as
sistance to carry out their plans for
the reunion, and the Southern sena-
tors and congressman have also been
called on to aid in the work.

The Egyptian Matter.

Sir James Ferguson, political Sec
retary of the foreign office, in the
house OF commons at London on the
Sd inst, said the government did not
assume that the whole OF the Soudan
belonged to Egypt. but, he added, he
did not intend to define the limits OF
Egyptian sovereignty. The occupa-
tion OF Tokar did not imply an in
crease in the army forcesin Egypt.
Henry Labouchere asked ii the khe-
dive had not indorsed the abandon
ment OF the Soudan.
10 this question Ferguson replied
that, in the opinion OF the govern
ment, the withdrawal OF the Egyptian
troops from the Soudan did not con-
stitute the abandonment OF the SOW
ereignty OF the Soudan. Hear! Hear]! /!
Mr.. Labouchere then asked: "Then
does the government recognize in the
sovereignty of Egypt over the soudan
the sovereignty over Kassala and
Khartoum?"
But Ferguson declined to deal more
specifically with the question, and up
on Mr.. Labouchere persisting upon
this subject, the political secretary oi
the foreign Office, after several fencing
replies to Mr.. Labouchere, asked fol
formal notice Of the questions.

in his hopes. The more he spoke in
favor OF a reconciliation the more the
quirinal took measures which were di.
rected against the holy see and the
church. The pope has become convinc-
ed that peace with the royal house OF
Italy is impossible, as the Savoyard
dynasty is held in bondage by revolu-
tion and is the visible sign of the war
waged against the pope. This being
soltis not very likely that the vatican
will permit the catholics to 60 to the
ballot boxes in order to save the mon
archy, which has done and will do all
in it's power to prevent q solution OF
the Roman question. An interesting
quest ion is, does the pope desire the
adjustment OF republic. He is
waiting, but expects nothing from the
monarchy. Many catholics hope that
the republic will come sooner or later,
and that she will grant liberty to the
holy see. Monarchy is condemned by
its very existence to prevent any solu-
ton favorable to the pope. The set
tied conviction in ecclesiastical circles
is therefore that the present cabinet
will not wage war, but that it is un-
able to get out OF the present muddle.
They will walk round and round on
one spot, but they will not march for
ward.

OLD WORLD NEWS
Pope Leo Celebrated His Elghtieth
Birthday at Rome Few
Days Ago.
Relations of the New italian Ministry
to the Vatican.-.The Egyp.
tian Question.
Outlook for the Results of the Austria
ElectiOns...Other Old
World News.

Thepopeis receiving congratulations
upon the occasion of the 8Oth ami
versary of his birthday. Upon re.
oeiving the visit of the sacred college
of cardinals, his holiness compared
the position and difficulties of the
church in present times with the posi-
tion of the church in the days of Pope
Gregory. The pope said that he was
gratified at the progress of the faith
in England. He also said that if God
spared him until his episcopal jubilee
he would devote part of the Offering
he might receive to the suppression OF
slavery.
Cardinal La Valetta presented an
address from the Sacred College. The
pope, in the course of his response,
said that he had passed another year
OF anxieties and vexatlons, due to at
tacks on the church. The position
was similar to that in Gregory's
pontiiicate, when the church com mbat ed
the Lombards. Though the barbara
ans tried his patience, Gregory's great
est trials were with internal enemies
who were ferocious but more evil than
the barbarians. The latter were con.
verted, but the former remain rebel
lious. So now the malice of the
church's enemies was subtle. But
their snares would not prevail. They
would not prevent the head of the
church from extending solicitude to
the whole to maintain laith and unity
with Rome. He prayed for the East.
ern church, and he felt consoled by
the progress made in England. AS
Gregory defended Rome and her peo.
pie against the barbarians and the
emperors OF Byzantium, SO he did not
cease to declare to Italy that the
popes were her true benefactors and
friends. Italy's opposition was an
act of impiety and political folly. Re
ferring to the slavery question, the
pope said he followed the policy OF his
predecessors, working for its abolition
in Brazil and Africa. He eulogized the
powers protecting missionaries.

The Austrian Election.

Elections for members of the lower
house of the reichsrath have com.
menced in the rural districts OF Aus
tria. Lower Austria has returned
seven anti Semitics and one Clerical,
the Liberals losing four seats. At
Sonneberg, Herr Wltte, the nominee
of the German Liberal party, defeated
the Socialist candidate by a large ma
jority.
A definite forecast of the results of
the election presents many difficulties.
1t seems that Taafe will get sound
working majority. The Clerical party,
the young Czechs and the anti Semites,
with a section OF ultra. National Con-
will form @ formidable
enough opposition to make proceed
ings in the Reichsrath lively, but not
lively enough to thwart the policy
of the reconstructed cabinet. The re.
turns from the II provinces sending
to the Unterhaus will not be
fully known until March Is.

and his little sister, who is not yet 5
years old, were partly burned and
partly suffocated to death in their
home at ATT West Hrron Steet Chica-
go, on the Sd inst. Their parents put
them to bed at z o'clock and then
went to the theater. By the explo-
sion OF a kerosene lamp, the house
caught fire, but the flames were not
noticed until nearly midnight. A fire.
man rushed into the burningresidence
and carried out the children, but be.
fore a doctor could arrive they died IN
the rescuer's arms. AS the dead chill
dren were being carried into a neigh
boris house the parents came rushing
up. Mrs. jacobson caught her dead
daughter in her arms, and when she
found it no longer lived she fell faint
ing to the sidewalk. The bodies were
placed in the parlor and Mrs. Jacob
son was carried up stairs. The edoctor
who was hastily summoned declared
her condition as precarious. The fire
was quickly extinguished.

SEA OF WATER.
The Great Colorado Valley Completely
and Thoroughly Washed
By Floods.
Over One Hundred Lives Reported to
Have Been Lost in the Rag.
ing Torrents.
The Town Of Yuma, Arizona, Entirely
Wiped Out Of Existence By
the Heavy Ram.

A special from Yuma, Ariz., says
that in that town over 25 houses are
in ruins from the food, and 1.4OO
people are homeless. Not a single
business house remains standing, and
it is feared that hundreds OLIVES have
been lost in the Gilva valley. The
telegraph wires are down into the val
ley, and as all bridges are gone and
roads insurpassable, no reliable re-
ports can be had from there. The
river aoove town .s seven miles wide,
and below the town, in places, the
water covers the country in one grand
lake. 1t will be 10 days or two weeks
before trains can get east.
Reports from Jakuno, Is miles
above Yuma are to the effect that the
food drove the people into the tree
tops, and many, becoming exhausted
from cold and hunger, dropped into
the water and were drowned. Reports
from reliable sources put the loss
of life IN the valley anywhere
from 80 up to 1oC. All along
the valley for 200 miles every.
thing is desolatlon. Fences have been
carried down by the flood, leaving the
country as bare as a desert. Men who
10 days ago were wealthy are now
homeless and paupers. Eighty miles
south of Yuma where 5000 Cooopa
Indians live, the country is flooded
tor so miles square, and as there are
no hills for refuge it is reported that
over 100 Of them have been drowned.
The great valley OF the Colorado is
one vast sea OF water as far as the eye
can see in every direction. The river
has fallen six feet six inches in SO
hours and is nearly at a stand still.
The weather is thick and threatens
heavy rains. The loss in the county
foots up to over $2,OOO,OOO, of which
the railroad will have to suffer to the
extent OF $25O,OOO. Old Yuma will
never be rebuilt. The town will go
higher up the hills.
