IRISH-AMERlCANS TIRED.
They Think the Factions in ireland Are
Acting Unwiseiy.


New YORK, Dec. 3.--Irish circles in
this city are not particularly enthused
over the arrival of DIR. Joseph Francis
Fox. who sits in the house Of commons
for the Tullamore division Of Kings
county, and whose mission is to reor-
ganize the Irish National Federation of
America, and to induce the sympathiz-
ers 10 make up II good sized fund for
the nti-Parnellite section Of the party.
During the past week representative
Irishmen in this city, who are sick
and Disguised with the division in
the ranks at home, have been in com-
munication with individuals and or
CARNATIONS all over the country, that
in the past were staunch financial sup
porters of the Irish cause, and a gem
eral consensus of opinion has been
gathered TO the effect That no particu-
lr encouragement should be given to
Delegate Fox. The ground is taken
that there is a big fund, most of 1t sub
scribed in this country, now locked up
in the Paris bank, and that IL either
faction is in need of finances IL should
bring about an harmonious relation
with the other faction. and thus enable
the Paris fund to be drawn on and util.
lied for the benefit of the cause.

No Opposition to Crisp.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Speaker Crisp
and his friends have been making a
quiet but important nvas among the
members. with the result that the
semi-official announcement is made that
there will be no opposition To the
Georgia mans reelection to the speak
ership when the fifty-third congress
meets. The Crisp men are led TO this
belief by the fact that the gentlemen
who voted as Mr.. Mills li~eutenants are
the mes to come forward with assur-
anc to Mr.. Crisp of generous support
from what used to be called the Mills"
set. One of the men closest to Roger
q. Mills has always been Ex-Governor
Sayers. of Texas. Now Mr.. Savers
voices the feeling of the old Mill set by
declaring that Speaker Crisp has earned
4 reelection and that he will get it
without any opposition.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. accommodating
Chief Weissert, of the G. A. r.. is con
templating II trip to the south at an
early date for the purpose Of making IA
personal investigation of the troubles
in various states between the white and
colored veterans. His views on the
subject of the discord OF races, so far
as it affects the organization, are said
to be more radical than those of his
predecessor, General Palmer, of New
York. lie is determined that the col
ed element in 80 south shall be up
held, and that their right TO be ad-
mitted as members of white posts shall
be conceded, ever at the cost of the
withdrawal Of every white southern
veteran from the order. Not only this,
but he is prepared to go so far as to
disband those posts which persistently
decline TO recognize the colored com
rades. All the indications point to the
fact nat under the new administration
the coming year is destined to prove "a
decidedly lively one in Grand Army
circles.
