OUR BORDER WEAKNESS.

BrItisli Military and Naval Stations That
Circle Our Country.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Judge Richard Prender-
CAST in his inaugural address to-day as presi-
dent of the Chicago Ship Canal trustees made
some notable utterances. After outlining the
present status of the enterprise and suggesting
the immense water-power that will be created
at the western edge of the Desplaines River,
making possible the construction there of
perhaps the greatest mills on the continent,
Judge Prendergast called attention to the
unprotected condition of our harbors and coasts,
and especially to those on the Great Lakes be-
cause of our treaties, so that, not to speak of
British military and naval stations that circle
our country in others, such as the West Indies
and Belisle territory and the islands of the Pa
cifc, we have upon our Northern frontier rich,
strong, and vigorous country, and people bound
by many ties to England, presenting all along
our borders magnificent system of offensive
and defensive utilition, and up to this hour the
Government of the United States has done sub
stantially nothing to meet or cope with hostile
demonstration from this source. 1t is true that
the defenseless condition of the northern
frontier has been presented to Congress from
time to time, but with very little result so far.
May not the disproportion existing between the
preparations for war on the one hand and those
on the other account for the result of diplo-
matte correspondence between the two coun-
tries, of which an American would appear to
have no special reason to be proud?

CAnUMN1Es ABOUT PARNEhb.
The Political Purity" of His Motives
What Father O'Shea SAYS.


What Father O'SheA Says.
DUBLIN, Jan. 3.-Father OShea has written a
letter from the franciscan Convent at Drog-
heda. He says: GAS Capt. O'Shea's nominator
for the Galway election of 1886 l can throw
light upon the foul caumnies uttered about
Mr.. Parnell and Capt. O'Shea. From un-
doubted authorities present it can be proved
that no shadow of suspicion rests upon the
political purity of the motive actuating Mr..
Parnell when he decided to run Capt. OShea
for Galway. He hoped thereby to secure Capt
O'Shea's influence, and to induce the coalition
OF the eighty-six Irish members of Parliament
with the English Liberal party. Mr. Parnell's
anxiety was so great to obtain this result that
he carried Capt. o'shea forward against
ing the usual political pledges. In
spite of the fact that few stones have been
left unturned to ruin Capt OShea's reputation
and lessen his pocket, believe him worthy of
his friends esteem for his kindheartedness and
his right sense OF great moral virtues. In t."
event of another election in Galway g. ould
act in similar manner to prove my slief in
Mr.. ParnelPs honesty at that time. l could
bear witness that the proceedings in the divorce
court had no connection with the Galway mat
ter so far as Capt. O'Shea was concerned.
Mr.. O'Brien has written another letter to the
Times, in which he calls upon that paper to
withdraw its statement charging him with hav-
ing approved the schemes of the dynamiters
in the past
PARIS, Jan. 3.-Mr. O'Brien will not resume
his conference with Mr.. Parnell unless the pro-
posed negotiations obtain such sanction from
tbs leaders of the majority of the irish party as
will i Justify the hope of reunion of the party
In the mean time Mr.. O'Brien declines to state
whether in the communications passing between
himself and Messrs. Dillon and Nc
Carthy and others they promise their
approval of further negotiations. The
opinion of the Irish group in this
city is unfavorable to a resumption of the con-
ference at Boulogne-s Mer. 1t is reported
that Mr.. Davitt has written a letter to Mr..
O'Brien not to deal with Mr. Parnell except as
a medium to obtain the surrender of the party
banking account in Paris. Madame Raffaloe-
vich, Mr.. O'Brien's mother-in-law, says that
Mr.. O'Brien will not return to Ireland to enter
prison. leaving the party feud unseulled. While
the rupture lasts she says he can better serve
the cause here or in America.

CHURCH FIGHTS IN COURT.
The Fuchs Feud in the German Emanuel
Church.

CHICAGO, JAM 3.-Judge Horton to-day had
two separate and entirely distinct church fights
in his court. First came big split in the
membership of the First German Emanuel
Church, at the corner of Thirty-fifth and Dear
born streets. The fight grows out of the con-
flict over the authority of Bishop j. j. Esher,
which stirred up such row in the
German church at Sedgwick and Wis
Fuchs, an anti-Esher divine, holds the
fort, but to-day the opposition took the
fight into the courts, and Judge Horton issued
an injunction restraining Fuchs from announc-
ing from the pulpit the calling of meeting for
the purpose OF electing successor to Trustee
j. j. Ritter, who Lad been incontinently de-
posed by Fuchs and his adherents in manner,
1t is alleged by the Esher adherents, wholly
unbefitting Christian spirit. 1t is further al
legged that the Fuchs party have secretly
connived to get the church into debt, and have
refused to allow the complainants to help
support it, All this is done, it is said, in order
that the church may be gotten into debt, and
thereby severed from the Evangelical Alliance,
to retain Jurisdiction over any disturbance that
may, occur tomorrow at the Presbyterian
Englewood Church by reason of a change of
pastors, growing out out of the remarkable
feud in that congregation. Judge Horton,
after disposing of the evangelical con-
tiict, refused to dismiss the bill
brought by the Englewood elders against
the trustees and pastors, but dis
solved the injunction SO as to give the trus-
tees full power to control the affairs of the
church. 1t was feared that the new appointee,
Rev. John Dewitt, and the old pastor, Rev. Hugh
Spencer Williams, would both attempt to preach
simultaneously in the church. Judge Horton
concluded it best to keep the affair under his
control, and in case of any trouble he will pass
upon the rights of the parties.

Deadly Street Duel.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Jan. ga fatal shooting af-
fray teok place on the street here to-day in
which Representative l. t. Terrill, of Payne
County, and g. l.. Embree, of the same county,
were the participants. The trouble grew out Of
a contest over TerrilPs homestead. Terrill
was charged with being 'Sooner," and
Embree had SO testified before the
United States land Office After leaV-
ing the witness-stand Embree went upon
commenced firing at once, empting five
chambers of his revolver into the body of EN-
bree, killing him almost instantly. Great ex
citement prevails, and to protect Terrill from
the people he has been placed in charge of the
soldiers, where he now remains prisoner.

The Observation-Disclosures Fight.


New ORLEANS, Jan. 3.--As the date for the
great Dempsey -Fitzsimmons fight at the Olym-
pic Club approaches the interest begins to
grow and the indications are that a larger
crowd of people will attend the mill than have
ever been at battle before in this section
OF the country. Messrs. Noel, Sporl and
Dardes, the contest committee for the Olympic
Club have left no stone unturned to see that
the patrons of the club enjoy every comfort
possible on the night of the mill. Large
pictures of the clubhouse, ring, and officers
have been forwarded to inquiring friends and
newspaper men, as far away as Sydney, Mel
bourne, and London, and no expense is being
spared to make the approaching battle the best
managed affair of the kind ever re-
ported in the annals of pugilism. Dempsey
and Fitzsimmons are doing nicely and the
latter with his characteristic good humor re-
fers to the mill with an air of confidence that
would terrorize a less game and experienced
man than the Nonparei. The referee will be
chosen a couple of days before the fight and
he will be a prominent Olympic Club member.
Neither contestant objects Dempsey is favor
ite for a small odds; much money has
already been wageled. Jack McAuliffe and
Denny Costigan will second Dempsey, and
Jimmy Carroll, Doc O'Connell, and Johnny
Griffin, the Baintree (Mass.) featherweght, will
look after Fitzsimmons. Erroneous reports
have been made regarding the price of admis-
sion to the fight. No man will be able to see
the mill for less than $40 There will be but
one price.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-To-day Judge Har-
u ley B. Morse and George G. Merrick, of Den
yer, Col, called at the United States Mint, in
this city, with brick of silver weighing BIAS
ounces, and presented tito the weighing clerk and
demanded that it be coined into money for
them. Upon their demand for what is known
as "seigniorage" being refused they waited
upon Col. Bosbyshell, superintendent and made
the same demand verbally of him. Col. BosbY
shell refused to accept the brick for private coin
age and Messrs. Morse and Merrickthen pre-
sented him with formal demand in writing.
At present the market value of silver
bullion is 1904 cents per ounce, fine, while
the mint value of an ounce is 129 29-100.
cents. When the Government buys bullion it
pays the market bullion price and makes the
difference, which is the "'seigniorage," be-
tween that price and the legal tender value. 1t
is this seigniorage which the gentlemen who
presented their silver brick at the mint to-day
mink they have as much right to as the Gov
ernment
