MT. Harrington's Remarks at Limerick
 EvOkinS Much Comment.
 LONDON, Jan. 13-Mr. Parnell's Liner ick speech has made a more favorable impression than his Kilkenny deliver ances, and the Tories and his Irish SUD- porters are willing to accept his letter to Premier Rhodes, of Cape Town. as conclusive proof of the accuracy of his statements regarding the conversation with MT. Gladstone.
 Mr. Harrington's remarks about the morality of MT. Parnells opponents, and especially of Justin Mccarthy, is evoking much comment and gossip.
 It is a matter of general rumor that one of MT. Parnell's severest critics in the Irish Parliamentary party has a mistress in Glasgow, and pays frequent visits to that city. Another is educating an il- legitimate son in leading institute of learning. and has the mother for a house. keeper. As to Mir. Mccarthy, his repu- tation has been free from scandal, and MT. Harrington's remark occasions some surprise. It has also aroused much un. easiness, as MT. Harrington is known to be a man of action, and to be capable of giving names when he has proof.

EVA CONTESTS THE WILL.
She Is After n Widows Share of Robert
 Ray HamiIton's Estate.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.--Evangeline L. Mann, or Hamilton, who claims to be the widow of ex-Assembly Robert Ray Ham, ilton, and is making fight for a share of his estate because he neglected to make any provision for her in his will, was the centre of attraction in the Sur rogate's Court before Surrogate Ransom. The hearing before the court was in the contest started in her behalf over Ham, ilton's will. making the formal objections of undue influence and mental in- capacity. The only question before the court is as to whether or not she was Hamflton's legal wife and is his lawful widow. When the case was opened Eva was not present, and her absence was commented upon severely.
 Shortly before o'clock Eva appeared, heavily veiled She was dressed in deep mourning and wore a sealskin sacque. During the rest of the day she sat by the tide of her counsel.
 On several occasions she had to be re- quested to raise her veil so that the witnesses might see her face for the pur- pose of identifying her.
 The question of the contestants mar riage was taken up. Rev. Edson w. Barr, of Elizabeth, who married Eva and Hamilton, testified that she gave her name as Evangeline L. Steele. They said that they had never been married before.
 This closed the contestants evidence on this point, and Lawyer Root called William T. Steele, of Laceyville, Pa., a brother of the contestant. He said Evangeline at one time came to her old home with Joshua J. Mann. She intro duced Mann as her husband, and he was known as such by the family.
 Alice Steele, wife Sf the last witness, corroborated his testimony. She identi- fled photographs of Mann and Eva.
 Mrs. H. s. Adams was about to testify when MT. Root asked if she could iden- tify the contestant. Eva was behind one of the marble pillars and could not be seen by the witness MT. Root asked that she be requested to throw aside her veil and step into view. She did this with an impetuous stamp of the foot. Mrs. Adams identified her as the Eva she knew, and who had stopped at her house with Joshua Mann. They were there as man and wife in the fall of 1SSS The case will be continued tomorrow. Z

NEW SILVER BILL.
An Effort Being Made to Bring Forward
 Another Financial Measure.

An Effort Being Made to Bring Forward
 Another Financial Measure.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-There is an effort being made among the silver men to patch up compromise financial bill, which will embrace part of Stewards free coinage amendment, so as to pro- tect the American product, with the Plumb amendment, submitting the scheme to a monetary conference of for eign countries.
 The bill will strike out the proviso to purchase the $12,O0O, 900 surplus, but will embrace the substance of Senator Sher. mans bond plan. It is said such . bill will meet the favor of Republicans in both branches of Congress and that President Harrison will sign it.
 When the Financial bill comes to a final vote in the Senate, if the free coin. age amendment passes, it Is likely the monometallist Senators will offer an amendment. This amendment will probably embody the principles of the Stamford Land Loan and the Farmers Alliance Sub-Treasury bills.
 Should these propositions carry, the bill with allits provisions will, of course, fall in the House.

A BRITISH SURPRISE
The Behring Sea Question Be-
 fore the Supreme Court.
THE ACTION WAS UNEXPECTED.
It is an Appeal from the State Depart.
 msnt to Settle the Dispute

Two Weeks Time Granted the Attorney.
 tiOn-The Seizure of the Schooner Say
 ward to be Made . Test Case-An Amer
 ican Lawyer Retained
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The Behring Sea fur seal fishing question was sud- denly and unexpectedly brought before the Supreme Court of the United States during the day, when Sir John Thomp- son, Attorney General for Canada, through MT. Calderon Carlisle, the Ameri- can counsel of the British Legation, and MT. Joseph Choate, associate counsel, made a motion in the court for a writ of prohibition commanding the United States District Court at Sitka to annul the proceedings by which the schooner w. P. Sayward was hbeled in 1887.
 This move on the part of the Canadian officials, it was stated, was made in be- half of Canada by Sir John Thompson with the full knowledge and consent of the British Government, the purpose evidently being to appeal from the State Department to the Supreme Court to settle once for all the dispute.
 The Attorney General Surprised.
 This action on the part of the British Government seems not to have been ex- pected and the Attorney General was taken by surprise when the motion was made by MT. Choate.
 The Court ordered that two weeks time be granted to the Attorney General to make a showing to the motion.
 The British government, it is believed, has had this matter in contemplation for some time. probably since last spring, when it was announced that ne- gotiations between the United States and Canada on the Behring Sea question had ceased.
 The schooner W. P. Sayward, of vic- toria, B. O., was captured by the revenue cutter Rush, Captain Shepard, for killing seal in Behring Sea. When the capture was made the schooner was on Behring Sea, five miles from any land, and there were 477 seals on board.
 Secretary Blaine's Views.
 Secretary Blaine, when asked about this move on the part of the Canadian governments counsel, said: q would prefer to remain quiet on that subject just now. There will be something offi- cial to say later on."

READY TO FIGHT.
Great Excitement in New Orleans Over
 To-Morrow Nights Mill.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 13.-Not since the Sullivan-Kilrain fight has a ring event created such . sensation as the mill to take place tomorrow night between Dempsey and Fitzsimmons. The bat tie is all the talk in sporting circles in all the large cities, while the result of the fight will be eagerly looked for from all parts of the country.
 Dempsey, accompanied by his wife and his trainers, Mike Conley, the Ithaca giant, and Tom Maher, of Brooklyn, ar rived here during the day and put up at an aristocratic boarding house on St. Charles avenue. He is in the pink of condition. Fitzsimmons will arrive here this afternoon.
 All the noted pugilists of the country are here and many & fight will be ar ranged before they leave the city. Peter Jackson arrived this morning having come alone from San Francisco W. R. Wise and 23 members of the California Athletic Club are on the way here. With all these people coming in, besides delegations from New York, Chi cago and everywhere through the coun- try, there will be big boom in betting, which has up to this time been a bit slow. Dempsey is the favorite. His repu- tation and the fact that he represents America makes this natural.
 There is a good deal of betting on the probable number of rounds, the Dempsey people ranging from 35 to 9, and the Fitzsimmons following 16 to 9.
 There is no ground for the reports of the State interfering with the mill.
 In a welter weight fight before the Au- dubon Club last night, Doc O'Connel, of. Boston, defeated Eddie Conley, formerly of East Boston, in the eighth round Both men were badly battered and bled profusely. In the eighth round Conley was unable to get on his feet. The fight was for 8 purse of $500.
