DANITT AGAIN BEATEN.
He is Deprived of His Seat in Parliament
From North Meath.

DUBLIN, Dec. 2S.-Mr. Justice O'Brien de-
liyered the decision of the court today on the
election petition against the return of Michael
Davitt as member Of parliament for North
Meath. The decision deprives Mr.. Davitt of
the seat on the same grounds that resulted in
the unseating of Mr.. Fullam az member of par
lament for South Meath
Mr., Davitts counsel admitted that the evil
donco, SO far as. Bishop Nulty's pastoral de-
nouncing the Parnellites was concerned. ap-
piled to North Meath equally with South Meath.
The decision, therefore, was foregone con-
clusion. and Mr. Davitt had endeavored to
forestall 1t by Offering to give up his seat in
order to present himself again as a candidate.
This could not be permitted, the court holding
that it could act only on the evidence actually
before IL and not on admissions in advance of
the testimony. His third candidacy for parlia-
nent and second election to that body has now
ended unfortunately.

THE CLERKS HOLIDAYS.
The Question Discussed at Today's Cabinet
Meeting.

One of the questions considered at today's
cabinet meeting was in regard to the hours of
labor in the departments during the Christmas
holidays, and it decided TO adhere TO the
practice of the last few years of
closing the departments all day on
the days observed as Christmas and New
Year and of excusing the clerks at IL O'Clock on
the working day preceding each of those holt
days. The custom that obtained during
Grants administration of closing the deoart-
nents at noon during the week days between
Christmas and New Year was discontinued dur
ing the early days of Cleveland's first term and
is not likely to be revived

WORKING FOR BERGMAN.
Emma Goldman Has q Legal Point Which
She Thinks VIII Shorten His Sentence.

PIrTsBuho, Pa. Dec. 23-Emma Goldman,
the socialist Of New York, is said to be at the
head Of movement to secure a Communication
Of sentence for Berkman, the anarchist, who
shot II. c. Prick. 1t Is the intention to make
an appeal to the supreme court on the ground
that Berkmau was illegally convicted on tho
seven indictments when he should have been
tried on OILY two the felonious assault, with in
ten, to kill. on Mr. Prick, and the incidental
assault on Mr.. Leishman.
Attorney Friedman, who defended the an
archist. says: This will be novel plea-the
first time ever presented-but 1t may stand"
There is no doubt" he continued, that all
the charges centralized in the actual commits
sion of the shooting, and that the other charges
-felonious entry and carrying concealed weap-
ons-are merely supplementary to the higher
crime and should have been dropped when the
man was tried for the shooting. II this rea-
soning holds good the sentence Of twenty-five
years may be reduced by eight"
Miss Goldman was in the city recently and
visited Berkman twice.
