THE MAYOR ABSENT.
This Makes Two Successive Meet.
- ings ofthe Conference He Has
Failed to Attend.
Office Not Declared Vacant Ow.
ing to Question ola Visible Or
Constructive Presence.

At last nights meeting Of the confer
departments were represented. except
the mayors Office. The absence of his
honor led Comptroller McCardy to OBJ
serve in his quiet way that this is the
second time for the mayor to be absent
at successive meetings. Asked if it
would be in order to declare the office
of the mayor vacant, the guardian Of
mayors report was there, there might
arise question as toa visible or con-
Structive presence.
On motion of Mr.. McCardy, Hon. o.
O. Cullen was called to the chair. Re-
ports were submitted by all of the de-
partments. The most important of
these is the report of Comptroller Nc
Cardy, embracing an estimate in
detail of the expenses of the city for
the next fiscal year and of the
revenue necessary to be raised. At the
request of the body Mr.. McCardy read
the report and answered number of
questions put to him asking explana-
tidns. A suggestion by the city engineer
that the bridge repair fund may of
necessity be larger in case the Como
avenue bridge is to be built brought out
the remark from the comptroller that it
will be time enough to cross the bridge
when it is reached. Mr.. Miller stated
that $4,000 would not be enough to pay
the clerk hire in his office. Mr.. Nc
Cardy volunteered the consolation that
it will have to be enough, as the charter
makes no provision for clerk hire in the
city treaSurer's Office. A summary Of
the report is found below.

GIVE 1T NO CREDENCE.
Homesteaders Take No stock in
the Poisoning Story.

HOMESTEAD. Pa. Dec. 12.-The SEN
satioual report OF the poisoning of the
new men in the Carnegie steel works
here. while engaging the attention of
almost every parSon in the town, is
given no eredeuee by the majority of
the people, whether they have been
identified with the strikers or not. Some
of the strikers who have failed to secure
employment say the story is prompted
by the Carnegie firm for the purpose of
profit, through any influence 1t might
have on the murder and riot cases yet
to be tried in court. The county cor
oner claims that no report of the six
deaths from this alleged cause has been
made to him. The opinion prevails that
If Mr.. Prick and his associates were
aware of the poisoning, or even had
reason to-suspect it. the coroner would
necessarily have been notified Home
stead people cannot yet believe that DR..
McCleIland and other physicians were
all deceived in their diagnosis of the
prevalent sickness. The citizens here
are all anxious to have the matter thor
oughiy Investigated and will give all
possible assistance to that end in their
power.
While the large ma ority of the resi-
dents of Homestead look upon the poi
soning story as without foundation or
TACT. nearly every physician in the
borough is inclined to look upon the
matter as very serious subject worthy
of a thorough Investigation. One doc
tor said that prominent citizens of
Homestead were aware that an investl-

IRELAND.

The long. the arduous. the unremit-
ting and never deSpairing fight which
Ireland has made for liberty has en-
deared the Emerald Isle to the entire
sixty millions of liberty-loving citizens
of this free and glorious republic. We
may laugh at PADDY and his drolleries,
but for PADDY and his patriotism. his
faithful. answering devotion to the
cause of liberty in Ireland and out Of it
we have only the heartiest respect and
the warmest esteem.
This fact was eXemp lifted last night
By the character OF the meeting at MAI
ethall. The occasion was an address
by Hon. JOHN SWEETMAN, a member
OF parliament for East Wicklow, Ire
land. The size and the appreciative
disposition of the audience evinced the
high regard entertained here in far-otf
Minnesota for the band of patriots who
are fighting the cause OF Irish liberty
to a successful issue. They are no less
distinguished for their patriotism be-
cause their weapons are those of peace.
The JOHN SwEETMAN of hundred
years back who fought and bled for the
freedom of Ireland was 10 more pa
trot than is the JOHN SWEETMAN of
today, who is toiling for peaceful con-
cession of the same dear rights of free
dom. God bless old Ireland. We love
her for the enemies she has made-the
enemies of liberty, equality, fraternity
and free government.

WEST SUPERIOR. Wis, Dec. 12.-An
interesting strife is In progress between
Mrs. M. j. Van Ness of Chicago and the
Women's Christian Temperance union
for possession of the four-months-old
granddaughter of the former. Harry
Van Ness, a blind man, supported his
wife and three children by playing the
piano in houses of ill-repute there.
He and his wife got on we'll to-
gether apparently, although once
complaint was made that he used pro-
fame language to the annoyance of
neighbors. Since the birth of the baby
Mrs. Harry Van Ness has been sick.
Van Ness took her to the hospital, paid
her board, left bank book showing $50
on deposit and went to Chicago, taking
with him the two older children and
leaving the baby with Mrs. Batchelor, a
nurse. Friday evening Mrs. Van Ness
died. Mrs. Barley, of the w. c. r. IT,,
went to the hospital just before Mrs.
Van Ness died and asked for $40
for the baby. Mrs. Van Ness signed
the handbook and Mrs. Barkey
Mrs. M. j. Van Ness, mother of Harry
arrived for the child. She had very
little money. and wished TO use the $50
at the bank for funeral expenses, but 1t
was gone. She applied to Mrs. Barkey
for the baby. She was refused, and
kept in ignorance of its whereabouts,
Chicago police telegraphed vouching
for Mrs. Van Ness, and the police were
willing to get the child for her. But
this afternoon Mrs. Barley went into
court and began proceedings to have the
baby committed to the home for depend
ent children at Sparta on the ground that
the father was not fit person for its
custody. and therefor not fit person to
appoint a custodian. re police, there
fore, must bide the determination of the
court. On the solicitation of the dis
trict attorney the court granted a con-
tinuauce of week. Public feeling is
greatly aroused, and the sympathy
seems almost entirely with Grandmother
Van Ness, who appears to be thor
oughiy good and responsible woman.
A subscription was raised tonight to
bury Mrs. Harry Van Ness, ana to
assist the grandmother to obtain posses
sion of the baby.

GREAT Joke

The New York Herald is a great
newspaper, and newspaper of serious,
deep-thinking proclivities. Occasion
ally, however. it unbends into positive
Iocularity, and evidences the fact that
now and then some funny capers are
relished by the wisest papers.
Its latest lapse into jocoseness is its
position on the New York senatorfat
question. 1t opposes EDWARD MURPHY
Jr. on the grounds that 1.-THE senators
from the presidents own state are
rightly considered by an unwritten law
to be his confidential advisers almost as
much as the members of his cabinet. To
select for the senate the inveterate and
well-known opponents OF the president

lion" And then, after sly laugh up

OLD HANDS AT THE BUSINESS.

The efforts now under way by the
Republicans to steal senatorshlps in
Wyoming, Montana and Kansas, will
be successful If adsptness in such work
counts for anything. The party began
its career in this line in 1876, when it
stole the presidency. Encouraged by
its success, it has beenafter game, big
and little, ever since. They stole a
whole governorship in Connecticut and
half one III Nebraska. They cot
away with two senators in Montana,
under court decision that the county
canvassing board could go behind the
returns, and they are now trying to get
the same judge to help them steal
another senator on the ground that
the same canvsssing board cannot go
behind the returns. Out in Kansas they
are trying to fix up steal by methods
so glaring that one of their own judges

a Majority.
Poison the Cause of Reinach' S
Death, as Disclosed by
the Autopsy.

BERLIN, Dec. 12.-ln the reichstag to-
day Count Won Meirbach. member of
the Conservative party. asked the gov
eminent to assist the.bimetallistS at the
international monetary conference at
Brussels. Chancellor Won Caprivi re-
piled that the German delegates to the
conference had been instructed not to
give their assent to any proposal that
restricted Germany's right to decide
what should constitute her own curren-
cy. They had also been instructed to
declare that Germany was content with
her present system and would not de-
part from it.
The chancellor said that the Con-
servatives were evidently trying to har-
ness the currency question and anti
Semitism to the same car. The events
that had occurred during the last few
weeks had caused him greatest dismay.
Ii antl-Semitism and bi-metalliSm were
to be used as demagogic cries the gov
eminent would have to make deter
mined stand. The currency question,
the chancellor declared, became more
dangerous as material for popular agl-
tatiOn the less it was understood. 1t
would be deplorable if the honor
able members Of the reichStag made
their attitude on the military bill
dependent upon bimetallism, and placed
the latter question higher than the
question of the defensive power Of Ger
many. The chancellor stated that he
wished to announce to the world that
Herr Arndt.une OF the German delegates
to the conference, was in no way coll
nected with the German government.
Considered Plans.
Atlts meeting today the special com
mittee discussed at length the proposals
of g. f. Tietjen, Danish delegate; M.
Alard, Belgian delegate, and Sir Will
lam HouldwOrth, English delegate. The
majority of the committee objected to
Sir William Uouldworth's proposals for
a bimetalic union of the nations with
these conditions:
That their minis should receive silver
bullion in not less quantities. than
fixed minimum against receipts, nOtmg
quantity and value at price deter
mined by international agreement. and
that these receipts circulate rs money
and be redeemable at the bearers de-
mand. The objections to this plan were
that il meant the creation of new lega!
tender based upon silver, which the
public would hasten TO abandon if sill
yer continued to fall, and would have
redeemed with bullion il silver rose.
NJ. Fouve!le, French delegate, moved
an amendment to the plan that iDterna-
tional legislation he made 10 facilitate
the deposits of silver and the exchange
of certificates, which would then be
negotiable in the same manner as COM

applied for a habeas corpus writ this
