PrTTsBURG, Pa. March 2O.-Robert
Morris, a Boston millionaire, dying of
consumption. passed through Pittsburg
today on his bridal tour. With him were
his physician, DR. Parker, hs mother, a
cousin, Hertert Walton, and the bride.
The cousin told the romance Of the story.
He SAID ABOUT four years ago Morris fell
10 love with and became engaged to a
young heircss. who moved in the best so
ciety. The engagement was approved By
both families, and a date was set for the
marriage. Before the time arrived the
young man became seriously I'll and the
ceremony was postponed. lie had been
attacked by consumption. Everything to
aid him vas done, and physicians in this
country and Europe were consulted, but
none could give him relief. He continued
t. grow worse until six months ago. when
1t Was thought to be a matter of "A few
weeks until he would pass away.
He had been constantly cared for by
his mother and bctrothed, but tad refused
to allow the latter t. bind herself to a
dying man. When the crisis came the
young lady insisted on tue wedding tax
ing place, so she could have the right to
remain always at her side. Mr.. Morris
finally consented. and the words that
bound them were spoken at his bcd-i tc
while the bride kneit holding the hand
that seemed to be even then in the grasp
of death. The marriage seemed to re-
new the lite Of the young man, who at
once began to improve and seemed sure
t. recover. Several weeks ago, however,
he took a turn tor the worse, and has
since been sinking rapidly. The doctors
warned HIN that his only chance for lite
lies in being removed to Florida, so the
start was made. Its really the bridal
trip OF the young couple but will doubt
less be a journey of death. There is only
a faint chance for lie remaining. While
the train stopped here the bride was con
slant in her attention to the hollow
checked and pale groom a. he lay in a
mass OF pillows looking sorrowlully out
of the window.

Michael DaYitt's Opinion of
Parnell's Proposition.
Salisbury's Address on the
Newfoundland Trouble.
An Italian Indignation Meet
ing in New York.

LONDON. March 2O.-Michael Dayitt,
in an interview with the Associated Press
correspondent today, coutemptously re-
ferred to what he classes as Parnel's
bluff. Davitt said he did not intend to be
a candidate for election in the division Of
Cork City, which Parnell now represents.
Davitt added, that two reasons caused
him to make this decision. The first. ~
said he, is that Parnell will not resign.
for he knows that if he does resign he will
be beaten should he cOme forward for re-
election. The second reason is, | am not
anxious to enter parliament now or in the
future, though | AIN unwilling to bind
myself to remain in this frame of mind Tor
all time. The Parnellites arranged ID
meeting at Cork for st. Patrick's Day,
when, according to custom, all the societies
marched through the streets. Parnell,
seeing a great stir, was induced to issue
his challenge to Healy. lie is now anxious
n back out" Referring to Parnells
delegation to the United States, Davitt
said: The gentlemen composing Mr..
Parnells deputation TO the United States
estimate that 30 per cent Of the IRISH
Americans are supporting ParnelL This
is a great exaggeratiOu The number
should be nearly 3 per ceut BY tar the
greatest number OF Irishmen in England
are against Parncll.'

An InteresrIng POINT Rn,sed.

UTICA, n. Y, March 2O.-In the trial
of James A. Miller, alias James Muldoon,
for smuggling Cinnamon into this coun-
try, now in progress before United Stptes
District Judge Coke OF this city, Attorney
De Angels, who Was assigned to defend
the prisoner, raised an interesting point
today. The Cinnamon came to this coun
try by row boat across the Niagara river.
The statute provides that it is a INSIDE
meanor to aid or abet a Chinese person to
enter the United States by land, or TO aid
or abet any such to land from a vessel.
De Angels argued and the government
admitted that the row boat vas not a YES
sci within the meaning of the statute.
De Angels argued that coming by row
boat could not be construed to mean com
ing by land. The effect OF this construc-
ton of the statute would enable China
men to come to this country by row boats.
The court held that for the present he
would hold the statute broad enough 20
cover coming to this country by whatever
means, but promised to give the question
further consideration and change his
ruling if wrong.

Notwithstanding the drizzling rain. more
thar as many more we're unable 40 gain
entrance to the hall. Shortly before @
o'clock. the outside doors broke down ard
a number of people were injured in the
rush. One hundred and fifty policemen
we're kept busy. The presiding officer
was A. De Angelo. The speeches were
nearly all in Italian and the denuuciaiions
OF the New Orleans tragedy we're almost
terrifying in their vehemencc. To uac,fc
the crowd without, it was addressed from
the balcony by a number Of speakers.
When President DeAugelo stepped to
the front OF tbs platform and raped for
order there was a lull in the NOISE Of the
hall. He said quietly and imrressiyoly:
Italian" Then a roar of bravo
burst from thousands Of Italian threats.
The applause was reslstless in its vehem
cnce for fully five minutes, and so it was
throughout the entire meeting. Every
man was excited to the highest pitch.
But a word seemed necessary to transform
them into a thronC OF demons. The
committee in charge seemed to realize this
and took every preclutioI to avoid u
trouble.
Near the close of the meeting, when
the resolutions were being read, several
persons in different parts Of the hall
arose and asked 10 he allowed

fused by the chairman of the men who
wanted 10 speak aud they appealed
to their fellow. asking il they
meant to sit there inactive. and urping
them to act aud revenge the wrongs done
in New Orleans The instant they began
to talk IN this way, prominent men on the
platform urged the audience 10 be quiet.
Meanwhile. the police had taken the
riot meters in hand aud hustled them out
Of the hall. 1t vas a critical moment aud
the leading men OF the meeting acted nun
too soon. They admitted alter the
meeting that had they allowed any one Of
those in the audience to have spoken tor
FIVE minutes. bloodshcd would have fol
lowed, as the men present would have
been so wrought up that they would have
started a riot without knowing why.

The Newfoundland Question.

nc 4NtN
LONDON, March 2O.-The gravity of
the Newfoundland question only begins
to dawn upon the country. In yesterday
evening debate i'll the house Of lords the
leaders on both sides avoided as far as
possible touching the probable complica-
tions ~endangering the peace of the em
rire, yet could not avoid impartiug tn
impression that developments are likely
which may give rise to serious trouble.
Lord Salisbury, in the grayest of minis
terial deliberances, weighing every word
with care, admitted hat it was
difficult to look without grave
apprehension to the future, IN view of the
strong feeling in France against the
slightest relaxation even OF tho most ex-
IRENE and unreasonable Of her claims.
Lord Salisbury RETAINED from disclosing
what inducements would be offered to
France to consent to an arrangement sat
lsfactJry to Newfoundland. He was
equally ~TeIiccnt on the question Whether
armed coercion be used to enforce the
kuutstord bull. The island, he said, has
been the sport of historic misfortune, it
was an illustration Of the continuity OF
history. These phrases recall speeches
on the same side which have preluded
the wort forms OF Irish oppression. The
debate has profoundly agitated the mem

Threatened motion to adjourn to challenge
the government police, he would have
had a following sufficiently strong to show
the government that the opinion OF par
lament is setting against the bill as too
stringent a measure. Hennessy was IN
duced to defer his motion until Smith
makes his promised statement Monday.
The lobby forecasts tonight agree that the
government will pause until the delegates
coming from Newfoundland have had a
chance to be heard. Lord Knutstord's bill
revives the crowns authority to
instruct the naval officers to en-
force the treaties of Utrecht,
Versailles and Paris, securing the fishing
rights to France. The bill provides for
its own suspension it the Newfoundland
legislature passes the measures necessary
to secure nIOdHS UiUeRdi The Liberals
will advise the delegates to accede 10 this,
promising to support the colony and de
manding that the final settlement should
include the withdrawal ofthe French from
the Newfoundland coast.
Tho Speaker, in its issue tomorrow,
will reflect the general feeling IN saying
that 1t would relieve bushels of embar
rassment if the Observation-Disclosures shipped
their governor aboard the mail boat and
hauled down the union jack. II they did
this thew would likely find that the people
of the United States would pause before
accepting an addition TO their republic

LONDON, March 2O.-Parnell left to
night for Sligo, where his candidate, Dill
lon. is. The hone hat that section OF
the clergy would refrain from interior
ence has been blasted, as tue whole Of
the clergy OF that district are becoming
active agents in the election.
Parnell has promised to explain his
position, regarding HealY's challenge
SUNDAY, but the Nationalist expect that
he will not decide whether to accept it or
not until he has seen the Issue of the
Sligo struggle. The Plrnellites are
intensely savage over Gladstoue's dcclar-
alton that home rule viii be Imposs bic
with Parncll as the Irish leader, and re-
new the cry of English dictation. On the
other hand, the Nationalist rely upon the
declaration as enabling the Irish people
to definitely recognize that adheresun
to Psrnell means the collapse of the
constitutional movement.
