Advices from Rome state that the coming
papal cousistOry is looked forward to with
great interest. The various legations to
the holy see are using every influence at
their command to gain one or more OF the
cardinals for their respective nationalities.
The new bishop of Hungary who was called
so suddenly from a mOnaStic cell to the
head of one of the proudest hierarchies in
Europe, is named DIS d probable cardinal,
and it is thought that at least one will be
bestowed in France, and one each in
America and Ireland. The remainder Will
doubtless be Italians. Bishop O'Dwyer of
Limerick, who has had two long audiences
with the pope is known to be opposed 10
the elevation of Archbishop Walsh. He
has had an opportunity of presenting to the
pontiff the darker side of the Irish national
movement, and il is assumed that he has
not failed to take advantage of the opp0r-
unity, one audience having apparently not
been enough for the purpose. Archbishop
Logue, primate OF Ireland, is also Nation
alist, but has been more active in the home
rule movement than Walsh. and the Selec
ton of Logue would doubtless be more
acceptable 10 the opponents of home rule
for Ireland rs well as to the Parnellites.
Whether tLeir influence will prevail at the
Vatican remains to be seen.

These figures show that, with the eight
Alliance votes which will surely go with
them, the Southern Democrats will have
III votes and the Northern Democrats lis.
This is the first time IN the history of the
party that the Democrats of the North have
had majority of the votes in a Democratic
caucus of the house of representatives.
But neither the Democrats from the
North nor those from the South are all
agreed with each other as 10 the proper
policies to pursue in the incoming congress.
The Democrats from New England. New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are
opposed to the free coinage of silver. These
will be reinforced by a few other Demo-
Gratis from Ohio, other Northwestern states
and the South Some of this wing of the
party will even insist that the present law,
providing for the purchase Of $500, 600
ounces of silver per month, shall be re-
pealed.
On the other hand, almost every Demo-
crat from the South and West is pledged in
favor OF free coinage law. 1t is doubtful
if, with the Republicans uniting with the
Eastern and Middle state Democrats, a free
coinage law can be passed.
This question of free coinage will be a
factor of greater Importance in the selec-
ton of the candidate for speaker The free
coinage men are determined that no one
shall be nominated who will not agree to
make a coinrge committee that will report
free silver bill, whilst on the other hand
the Democratic opponents of free coinage
will endeavor to secure the nomination of
some one who will not appoint such COM
mittee. As, however, there are not probably
more than eighty-tive out OF 23J Democrats
who are opposed to free silver, it may be
taken as an assured fact that free coinrge
speaker will be elected

which refuses to recognize his supremacy.
The TWO parties are therefore for the pres
eut in a condition of reserved hostility.
Fonseca may al any moment succeed in
overcoming the barriers that stand in
the way of an invasion and the iunta may
grow bold enough to strike an often
sive blow, but for the present the
contest is apparently confined to war of
messages. The junta has 4 military force
that would offer powerful resistance on its
own ground to any attack by Fonseca's
troops On the other hand, the greater
portion of Brazil is passive, if not ac-
quiescent, in Fonseca's course.
The fighting reported has been
little more than desultory encounters
in the Rio Grande province between the
forces Of the iunta and small bodies OF reg
ular troops that refused TO give in their ad-
herence to F'onseca. IN these encounters
the junta has been successful ana the whole
province is now substantially in obedience
to the junta. Uruguay continues TO main
tain some neutrality and the numerous ref
ugees at Nontevideo have been cautioned
that they must not use the territory of
Uruguay as a base of operations against

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-The contest for
speaker in Washington city grows very
warm though there are yet but few men,
beers of congress in the city. While
the members are not there the candidates
or their friends are there and they are max
ing. some of them, the widest kind OF
claims as to the number of votes their re-
spective friends will receive. Mr.. Mills is
clearly the candidate of the Cleveland men
and the men who want no legislation on
silver and none upon any Other subject ex-
cept the tariff They want Mills for speaker
now and Cleveland for president in 1892,
and probably William r. Morrison on the
ticket with him to try and secure Illinois.
OF the 235 Democrats who will go into the
caucus III are from the South and lis from
the North, Of which us Ii come from New
England, % from New York, from New
Jersey and 10 from Pennsylvania, making
-. all of whom are opposed to free coin
age law. There are Democrats from other
states, probably altogether enough to make
about so, who are opposed to free coinage
law. OF the 81 Eastern Democrats quite a
number demand the repeal OF the present
law, but there are not enough to make any
impression in the caucus. There arc at
least l25 of the Democratic members VINO
will go into the caucus who are determined
to force, if possible, a free coinage law
through the house because they want 10
make the silver question one OF tne QueS-
lions in the next camDaign.
It is true that there are not so many of
those now as there were before the late
elections, the storm in Ohio having weak
ened them somewhat on the free-sil yer idea,
but large majority of the caucus will IA
vor free silver. Taking this fact into con-
sideration. it would seem that neither Mr..
Mills nor MIR. Crisp, both of whom are
working vigorously for the Eastern and
Middle states votes, are pursuing very
wise policy. 1t is pretty evident to the man
who stands off and looks over the entire
question from a philosophical standpoint
that the solid vote from the Eastern and
Middle states to any one or any two men
would indicate to the Southern and West
ern members that this man or those men
were not entirely sound upon the silver
question. 1t would certainly weaken them
in the South and West.

ROBBED OF HIS MONEY.
A Delta Cotton Farmer Relieved of His
Hard Earned Cash-Cut While Try
ing to Make an Arrest.
Special to the Gazette.

PARIS, TEN, Nov GA daring highway
robbery was committed near Buford'S
bridge in Sulphar bottom at an early hour
Friday night. Mr.. W. A. Stevenson. 4
farmer of Delta county, had been in this
city with cotton. After selling it and max
ing some purchases he left for his home
late in the afternoon. Darkness overlook
him in Sulphur bottom. While driving
along through the bottom two men suddenly
came out, one from each side of the road,
and presented guns close to his head and
demanded that he deliver mis- cash.
There was no other alternative for him,
and he pulled sos of his hard earnings from
his pockets and handed it over. This was
all he had with the exception of a s. bill
which they failed to ind. After the rob
berry he drove rapidly to Unitia and gave
the alarm. A party was organized and
went in search. There was no ciew, no
suspicion as to who did it, and nothing was
discovered. Yesterday afternoon Con-
stable Jim scott, Mr.. Stevenson and a con-
stable from Delta county started out On the
hunt of the villains. 1t was believed they
had some trace OF them and that they would
be overhauled.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Tom Maxwell
and Mr.. viii Braclleen went to the house
of Nath Holden, few miles southwest OF
the city, to arrest Frank Mcconnell, for
whom they had a warrant charging him
with stealing a saddle. On arriving there
Mcdonnell was at the lot Maxwell re-
manned at the yard gate and Brackeen went
to the lot to serve the warrant on McC0n-
nell When Brackeen reached there he
started 10 read the warrant to him, but he
started to run away. Brackeen caught him
and lively struggle ensued. Holden saw
what was going on and picked up his gun
and rushed out, followed by his wife and
McConnell's wife. When they came up
Brackeen was forced to turn his man loose
ana Mcconnell made his escape. In the
struggle Brackeen was cut across the aldo
men, but his wound is not serious.

A Swell Wedding.

The grandest London wedding of the sea-
son occurred to-day in the chapel of St.
Georges, Hanover Square, so noted for
brilliant marriage ceremonies. 1t was that
of Lady Sarah Churchill Gordon of the IA
nous Gordon and Spencer family line to
After Gordon Wilson, son OF Sir Samuel
Wilson, member OF parliament for Ports
mouth. The church was crowded with
members of the de la creme of high society.
The Dowager Duchess of Marlborough held
d reception after the wedding IN honor of
the bride, her kinswOman, and this, too. was
a brilliant affair. The number and value of
the wedding presents displayed is some
thing remarkable The cup of Sir Samuel
Wilson's happiness is doubtless made full
to the brim by to-day's event, for it makes
the union OF the son of a once humble car
penter with the daughter If one of the old

purpose as TO have got together q few
pounds, emigrated from his home IL county

fortune by sheep raising. judicious land
speculation and other ventures, and became

gained recognition from the crown, the
honor of knighthood being conferred upon
him in 1875. He returned to England soon
afterward and had no difficulty in securing
his election to parliament. and entered into
social circles, this being the dream of his
obscure Irish parents. as in the case of the
other wealthy Wilson of plebeian origin,
whose family were lately so prominently
before the public as the host of the Prince
of Wales on the famous baccarat occasion.
Sir Samuel has found money key to IN
lock social bolts and barriers and to-day,

bluest that courses in English veins. The
