TIE Y. M. c. a. COMMITTEES.


An Enjoyable banquet and Conference
held mt the Building last Evening.
Seldom, If ever, has there been any
gathering held by the Young Mems
Christian Association that was 80 thor.
oughly enjoyed by all present as the
Committeemen's Reunion, held last
night at the Association building. The
Board Of Directors extended an in.
vitation to the members OF the standing
committees to supper and conference,
which was accepted by sixty committee
men, who sat down to a bountiful
supper provided by the Directors. There
was an inspiration in the very fact that
so many Christian men had met to-
gether In social reunion and consulta.
ton about the work OF the Association.
An encouraging spirit OF interest and
zeal was manifested and the gathering
will certainly prove most stimulating
and helpful in the Association. After
the luncheon had been fully discussed,
President Vance, who was host of the
evening, made some timely remarks on
the heimportance OF committee work, and
then called on the different speakers Of
the evening. 8. 81. Kasley spoke in be.
half Of the Executive Committee, and ],
E. Hughes, for the Finance Committee
spoke on the sinewa OF war.
]. B. Rhodes earnestly deaired all the
members to cooperate with the Mem
bership Committee in recurring new
members for the Association. s. P
Barker referred to the success OF the lee
tuTe and entertainments, and w. O. Car
nahan spoke Of the good work done BY
the Reception Committee.
The invitation work was presented BY
Thomas Prosser. Joseph a. Bell spoke
Of the missionary work done by the
Association. The short addresses by F
Fl. Willisms on the religious work, O
s. Morrison and s. II. Crayton on The
Sabbath afternoon meetings, and RiOharC
Fair on the Saturday eyeaing meetingl
were all strong and manly.
Luke Harrison referred to the physi
c2l work and General Secretary Lynch
impressed the committeeman with the
Importance OF other work. He said thC
characterand efficiency OF the comwitteel
very largely determined the strength
and success OF the association.
Rev. D1 Cunningham, who has always
been one'ot the WRrmest friends OF the
association, was present and made somt
encouraging remarks. Tho addresses
were earnest. and pointed, and the social
intercourse and consultation was very
enjoyable. There was an earnest and
willing spirit manifested on the part Of
the members Of the different committees
which promises well for the continued
success Of the work Of the association.

BELFAST, March s.-Mr. Henry Harrl.
son, NJ. P. for Middle Tipperary, visited
the offices OF the Belfast branch Of the
National League yesterday and seized
all the money and documents he could
lay hands on. The members Of that
branch Of the league were hastily sum-
moned and a fiery discussion followed.
The members denounced Mr.. Harrison
in more vigorous than polite language
aud repudiated the outlawry OF the Cen.
trail League.
A number Of Mr.. Harrison's friends
were upon the scene while the discus.
sion was going on and declared that the
Dublin or Central branch Of the league
had authorized the seizure made by Mr.,
Harrison, owing to the disorsaniz,d
state and disloyal attitude Of the Belfast
branch toward Mr.. Parnell.
Mr.. Harrison and his friends then de-
clased the branch dissolved. A frte
tight followed between Mr.. Harrison's
friends and their opponents OF the Bel
fast league. The battle was Of most
spitebOrn character, fists, sticks and
chairs being freely used on both sideF.
Finally the police appeared In force and
eventually cleared the league building

WAsH1xGroN, D. g., March 3.-Thia
Congress Is having quite remarkable
closing. There is an air OF ofextraordinary
calmness about tile proceedings which
consumed the closing twenty.four houra

they always do at the close Of the sea.

very little in the way Of exciting scenes
TO reward their patience. The lobby is
yery active, and is In measure success.
full, though all that was expected In the
way OF "getting little measures through"
will not be accomplished. The work
done to-day was chiefly in the confer
ence committees, the two houses merely
acting on the reports.
The friends OF the copyright bill are
working hard 10 have the Sherman
amendment given up by the Senate, az
they feel that II the Senate does not re-
cede, the bill will fail. It ls not posi-.
bic, at this time, to tell just what the
aggregate OF the appropriation for the
session will be. The miscellaneous may
mount up enormously during the rush
Of the closing hours. 1t is safe to say,
however, that the aggregate OF all the
appropriations will exceed S595, 600, 900;
possibly 1t viii be considerably more:
An evening paper has this: The
President said to caller yesterday that
the report that he intended to send in a
special message urging the passage Of
Ale Federal Elections bill! was not true.
Il would be, he said, both supelauous
and useless, 1t being too late to accom-
plish anything in that direction. The
President said to the samo gentleman
that he had no idea that an extra session
OF Congress would be rendered neces'
