CHICAGO, Jan. 1o--A special dispatch from
Topeka, Kan, says The alliance members of
the legislature and party leaders had love
feast last night in their headquarters and the
best of good feeling seemed to prevail between
the factions, which have been engaged in bitter
turmoil for the last two days over the publica-
ton of the Turner letter to Frank McGrath,
president of the state alliance. McGrath made
q statement regarding the letter, denying that
he had ever had any conversation with Turner
upon the subject VI his candidacy for the
United States Senate, but the following resoiu-
ton was adopted by unanimous vote,
Whereas a letter dated December 81, 1890,

AN EXCITING SESSION.
Republican Factions in the Colorado House
Cause Lively Time.

nepuDncon f8ct1One IN the COIOr00O House
Cause q Lively Time.
DENVER, COL, Jan. 10. There was an excit-
ing time in the lower house of the Colorado
legislature yesterday. There are two republic
can factions in the house, one led by II. H.
Eddy and the other by James Browne. The
Browne crowd numbers fourteen and by FORM
ing an unexpected combine with the democratic
members secured a working majority. When
the newly elected speaker, Hanna, attempted
to announce his standing committees the
Browne-democratic faction blocked legislation
and the result was that nothing could be ac-
complshed during the afternoon. Several
attempts to adjourn were voted down by that
clique. Browne was ordered under arrest for
interrupting the speaker. The sergeantat-arms
started to arrest Browne, when four deputy
sheriffs sprang into the aisle and defied the
sergeant-at-arms to do so. A scene of the Wild
est confusion and uproar prevailed. Quiet was
finally restored, but the deadlock continued
until midnight, when the Browne-democratic
wing, numbering twenty-eight members,
walked out and organized another lower house
all by themselves. This will complicate legs-
lation this winter. Speaker Hanna is firm and
has employed fifteen assistant sergeaats-at-
arms.

Stocks Opened With q Rush-Prices Aided
by the Bank Statement.
NEW YORK. JAN 1O-The stock market opened
with rush this morning, displaying the most
decided strength. which was for u short space
accompanied by extreme activity. First prices
were almost invariably materially higher
than those Of last evening, the only marked
exception being Jersey Central, which
was down q per cent. In the
early dealings there were further sharp ad-
vances in few stocks and exceptional anima-
ton in st. Paul. Richmond and West Point and
sunr refineries. The rise in the latter was
continued with vigor and after opening u per
cent higher at G71z it rose 2 per cent farther to
6915. Oregon Improvement in the meantime
advanced "a; Colorado coal. 15s: Lake Shore.
u and tho remainder Of the list smaller frac-
tons.
The sharp demand then fell away and the
market became more quiet. while recessions in
everything followed. Sugar retired to GSl and
Colorado Coal lost y per cent, but the others
showed only slight concessions and the strong
tone Of the market quickly reassersed itself and
in most of the list still higher prices were
reached later in the hour. Chicago and Illinois
preferred rose y, but the movement in the rest
of the list was very moderate. At II o'clock
the market was active and strong at the best
prices reached.
Money has been easy at per cent with no
IL O'Clock, but the upward movement made but
slight progress in anything but sugar refineries
and few specialties in which sharp gains were
scored. The publication of the bank statement
however, with its heavy gains in the surplus re-
serve, by which 1t is increased to over Sl3, 000-
900, infused new life into buying and prices in
the Inst few minutes of business advanced
more rapidly. The best prices OF the day were
made at about the last dealings and the close
was active and very strong.

The Boulocue Conference a Fiasco.


Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star
LONDON, Jan. 10.-The general belief here is
that the much heralded Boulogne conference
has ended in fiasco, so far as the evolving Of
any basis of permanent union between the
referred to by Mr. Dillon are construed to be
those that Mr.. o Brien has encountered in try
ing to win over the McCarthyites to his way of
thinking. The fact seems to be that those
nationalist who refuse longer to acknowledge
Mr.. Parnell as leader will not agree to the com
promise whatever it may have been that con-
stituted the basis Of the agreement between the
two conferees.
Indeed, Mr.. O'Brien is openly accused of
being now engaged in playing Mr.. Parnelrs
game, it being alleged that the latter proposed
to make certain concessions ut the conference
on conditions that he knew In advance it would
be impossible for the McCarthyites to accept
but that he made them because he desired to
throw the Onus of q refusal upon them, and
thus force VIM OBrien to join the Parnellites.
The scheme was clever one and has been
greatly aided by the overpowering desire of
Mcssrs. Dillon and o Brien to establish some
modus yivendi with their old leader and thereby
induce him to open the purse strings and re-
lieve them from the quandary in which the
failure of their American mission has placed
them with regard to the evicted tenants at
Tipperary and elsewhere on the plan Of cam
paign estates.
The key OF the Irish riddle is the fact that
Mr.. Parnell holds the bulk of the funds and
will continue to command the situation until
the American subscribers take steps to for
the early days Of the Dillon-O' Brier tour, but
which, 30 far as being of any assistance to the
suffering tenants il concerned, might as we'll
have remained unsubscribed.

Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star
LIMERICK, Jan. 10.-Mr. Parnell has arranged
to leave Dublin this afternoon for Limerick
and elaborate arrangements have been made
here for his reception and escort to the hotel

eventful one. Great preparations have been
made for the meeting which he will address to-
morrow. IL will be held in the open air and
be presided ovor by the mayor. supported by
the leading men OF tho city and county. To
accommodate the thronSs in adjoining towns
that desire to hear him special trains will be

sion composed of trade associations and other
