EMMA ABBOTT DYING.
THE PRIMA DONNA DANGEROUSLY
ILL AT SALT LAKE.
Suffering From Pneumonia, Not Expected
to Survive the Night-A Remarkable
Coincidence.

DENVER, Jan. ga special from Salt
Lake City says Emma Abbott, who is
very i'll with pneumonia, is not ex-
pected to survive the night.
[Should the foregoing report prove
true, it will form strange coincidence.
1t will be remembered that when
the prima donna filled holiday
engagement here two years ago,
she was accompanied by her husband,
Mr.. Eugene Wethsrill. He went from
here to Denver, contracted severe cold
en- route, which changed to pneumonia,
and on the morning Of the 9th of jan
uary he suddenly expired. Should his
widow now die, almost precisely
two years afterward, and appar-
emily from the same cause. and
-sassdos-- tl.s- Ssssrse-A cunnetsncesy having
again filled holiday engagement in
Los Angeles, and gone from here to a
severer climate, it would certainly be .
most striking coincidence. However, it is
sincerely hoped the renowned songstress'
illness will not terminate fatally.-ED.] ]

THEY MET TO PART.

A Father Finds a Long Lost Daughter
and Immediately Leaves Her.
(. New YORK, Jan. 3.-About year ago
William Bennett came to New York
from California to look for his daughter.
Sarah. Bennett had, gone out to Cali
fornia in 40, and left his wife and baby
daughter in this city until he laid the
foundation-stone of his fortune.
After year or so his wife
ceased writing and he did not learn
until ten years elapsed, that she was
dead. OF his daughter he could find no
trace. At last having accumulated a
comfortable fortune, he came back to
search for her. Year followed
year without a clue, but he would
not give up hope, and at last,
a month ago, he learned that his
daughter Sarah was adopted by J. II.
Newcombe when Mrs. Bennett died.
He found Newcombe and was told his
daughter had married happily and had
several children. Newcombe took Ben
nett to her house in Brooklyn.
The ole man was almost beside
himself with delight, and stayed to din.
ner and throughout the evening. Then
he put his coat on, and after kissing his
daughter good night, told her he was
going to pack his things up,
and in the morning he was coming
back to her again and they should
never be separated any more. She
kissed him and watched him go down
the street, but from that time to this
che has never seen him. Every effort
has been made to find him, but so far
without avail.

THE IRISH LEADERS.
A PRIEST SAYS A WORD IN EXON.
ERATION OF PARNELL.
The Conference at Boulogne About to Be
Resumed : William O'Brien Will Not
Grace an Irish Prison Just Yet.

DUBLIN, Jan. 3.-Father O'Shea has
wr4ten letter from the franciscan
ccavent at Drogheda, saying: "As Cap
tain O'Shea's nominator for the Galway
eleetion of 1886, can throw light on
the foul calumnies uttered about
Falnell and O'Shea. No shadow
Of suspicion rests upon the po-
ht kl purity of the motives
act |ating Parnell when he decided to
M O'Shea for Galway. He hoped
IN eby to secure O'Shea's influence and
in oduce the coalition OF 1886 between
thu 1Eish members Of parliament with
'.thS AsAglish Liberal party"
Parnell left Dublin today for his
country seat, Avondale, where he
expected to remain until Mon
day next. Unless his plans are
changed. Parneli will leave Avon
dale for Boulogne-sur-Mer at an early
hour Monday, to take part in what is
likely to be the final conference between
the Irish leaders, SO far as the question
of the leadership OF the Irish party is
concerned.
PARIS, Jan. 3.-O'Brien will not re-
sumo his conference with Parnell, unless
the proposed negotiations obtain such
sanction from the leaders OF the majority
of the Irish party as will Justify
the hope of the reunion of
the party. In the meantime
OBrien declines to state whether in
the communications between himself
and Dillon, Mccarthy and others, they
promise the approval OF further negotia-
tions. The opinion of the Irish group
in this city is unfavorable to the re-
sumption OF the conference at Boulogne-
sur-Mer.
Madame Raffalovitch, O'Rrien's
mother-in-law, says O'Brien will not
return to Ireland to enter prison, leav-
ing the party feud unhealed. While the
rupture lasts, she says, he can better
serve the cause here or in America.

EXTENSIVE SMUGGLING.
The Country Flooded with Opium and
Chinese from Victoria.

The Country Flooded with Opium and
Chinese from Victoria.
ST. PAUL.. Jan. 3.-A Pioneer Press,
Seattle, WASH, special says: AN in
vestigation by careful men, sent from
here to Victoria, shows that more than
twenty opium refneries are in full blast
there. besides many small Chinese es-
tablishments which fry out small
amounts. For the three months
ending the 30th of September
$3.50 pounds of crude opium
was landed at Vancouver from China
steamships. Ofthis amount 5679 were
forwarded to New Westminster; 1861
remains at Vancouver, and Al 1929
pounds were sent to Victoria, where it
was refined and smuggled across the
American line. During these months
not single pound of opium was lawfully
passed through the customs houses.
and smuggling is going forward all
the time by sloops, schooners and steam
ers, and the opium business alone
amounts to over a million dollars year.
Besides this Chinese are being snug
gled across constantly. It is believed
wealthy residents OF Victoria are back
ing the smugglers and share in the
profits.

RED PAINT,IN DEMAND.
ST. PAUL, Jan. ga Pioneer Press
special from Pierre, S. d., says: 1t is re-
liably reported that the hostile Indians
have sent out runners to all the Indian
camps, notifying them of the battle and
calling upon them for aid. One OF the
runners made his appearance among the
Indians upon Red river, and has been
using every means to incite them into
joining in the conflict. The army Of

trader at Fort Pierre says he has sold
more red paint to the Indians within
