AGAINST HOME RULE.
Address of a Tory Member at
Boston.
Russell of Tyrone Declares the Glad.
stone Scheme of Government for
ireland an Impossibility.
Special TO THE MORNING CALL

Boston. Jan. Sat an anti Catholic
meeting at the Music Hall to-day Hon. T.
w. Russell. member Of Parliament for
Tyrone, Ireland. delivered an address In
opposition To home rule for Ireland. Mr..
RUSSELL stated that he was not soliciting the
active interference of the people of America
in the present home-rule contest in Ire-
land. He believed that to separate Ireland
from England was never in the ground plan
Of creation.
The common idea of Ireland everywhere
is that she is a mueh-abused nation, mis-
governed and trampled upon. This indict-
ment the speaker emphatieally denied. de
claimed that there are two Irelands-the Ire
land Of law and the Ireland Of lawlessness.
The latter, he ntmated. is the party which
is loudest in its clamoring for home rule.
He claimed that this measure is now sd-
mitted to be an impossible one to pass. even
by those who are its strongest advocates:
that 10 legislate the Irish representation out
Of the English Parliament. as the Gladstone
bill would have il, would be to encourage
separation. He thought that before self
government should be given to any nation
loyalty should be shown by its people, and
this he claimed had not been shown by the
home-rule advocates. lie said that the in
dustres of Ireland had prospered under
English rule,

just before the picker stick strikes,
thus keeping the shuttles in the boxes
aud preventing any smash in the warp.
The loom cannot be again started I'M
I'll one of the shuttles is taken out
from the box on either side; the empty
box operates so as to prevent the mechan-
ism connected with the machinery from
stopping the loom. The deslderatum is
secured by means Of rod placed under
the breast beam and fastened to the same,
TO this rod being attached a strong hook,
which acts with similar reversed hook
attached to the lay. so that when the latter
comes up TO the cloth i'm the process of weav-
ing, these hooks slide up on each other and
become locked. But the locking of the
hooks occurs only when there is shuttle
in each box, and the movement of the
picker-stick at this particular instant would
cause a collision and smash. When the
hooks lock the belt is thrown off by
finger connected with the handle-rOd, and
the loom is thus stopped.

ELECTORAL VOTE.
State Colleges Will Meet
To-Day.
PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS
The Anticipation Bill to Come Up in
the Senate This Week-In the
House.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 8.-To-morrow
the electors selected in every State in the
Union will meet and carry out the will Of
the people as expressed at the polls last
November
Congress is required to be in joint session
to count the electoral vote at ] o'clock on
the second Wednesday in February after
the meeting of the electors, which will be
on February 8. The President of the Sen
ate will preside over the joint assembly.
with the Speaker of the House sitting at his
left. The certificates will then be opened
and read and the results noted.
1t is possible that objection my be raised
to some votes from the States of California,
Kansas, Michigan, Ohio and Oregon, and
in this event the law provides that the two
houses shall separate. consider the objec-
tions and report their findings. The count
cannot proceed until each objection has
been disposed Of.
After the certificates have all been read
tellers deliver the result to the President,
who. In accordance with the facts, makes
the proper announcement. This announce
ment will be sufficient and constitutional
declaration of the election of Grover Cleve-
land and Adlai Stevenson. This will con-
cluds all the formalties prior to the in
auguratiOn.
Interest in the proceedings OF Congress
this week centers in the prospective treat
ment of the anti-Options bill in the Senate.
The bill is now in critical position and it
is the judgment Of a large number Of Sena-
tors that it must be passed within a few
days or give way to other matters, as the
patience of the Senate is well nigh ex-
hausted. The quarantine bill comes up
again tomorrow as special order and, IN
less an adjournmeDtis caused by unforeseen
events, may occupy two or three days Of
this week. So it may be that the anti
options bill will not again be taken up be-
fore Wednesday at the earliest, but the in
dications are that when it is taken up there
will be a vigorous contest, brought on by
the efforts Of the friends Of tile bill to force
it TO a vote.
The McGarrshan bill will fill in the morn
Ing hours perhaps during the remainder OF
the week, although it appears that it is
really approaching n final vote. McPher-
sons postponed speech on the proposition
to suspend the silver bullion purchases is
set now for tomorrow.
The programme of the House for the
week has not been mapped out and will not
be until tomorrow, when a number of spe-
cial orders will be advanced by the Com
mitiee on Rules. The Raum report, the bill
for the elec ion OF Senators by the direct
vote of the people and the Commerce CON-
mittee, with the omnibus eight-hour bill,
will be given the day.

AN IDEAL OFFICE-BOY.
The Editor Was at Ease While He
Guarded the Sanctum.
Detroit Free Pres

He was an office-b boy worthy OF the place
among heroes, a lbeit his lot was cast in the
newspaper office of western town. where
enduring fame is crowded to the wall.
He occupied place at the foot of the edi-

warning TO the editor when an irate visitor

With polite bow and a gracious smile he

One dav Il man came who was particular

Proportions.
MINERS AGREE TO Go OUT.
An Abortive Attempt to Blow Up a
Train at Cologne Ascribed
to the Strikers.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

BERLIN. Jan. S.-The pendulum has be-
gun once more to swing toward the Left i'll
the public life of the empire, and the labor
question has temporarily supplanted milf
tarism, in the view of Berlin editors and
statesmen.
During the last week the eyes OF all have
been directed toward the basin of the
Saar, where the striking coal-miners have
shown persistence and aggressiveness en-
tirely disproportionate to their numbers and
hopes of success.
week ago, despite prevailing appre-
tensions. few persons thought the strike
would be a matter OF more than three or
four days. Ever since then the develop
ments, while showing nothing sug
gestive of hope for the strikers, have
revealed an efficacy of revolutionary
agitation Of which neither the anarchists
nor extreme Social Democrats were sup
posed to be capable. The strike has not
only spread. but the intemperance Of the
speakers and the bitterness of the men
have increased alarmiEgly.
The coal-miners OF the Ruhr district
will strike in sympathy with the men
Of the Saar district. AT meeting
Of miners in Essen to-day resolution to
strike tomorrow was passed unaDim ously.
The case Of these men and of the thousands
they are likely to carry out with them is a
desperate one. They are totally unpre-
pared for even days idleness. They are
penniless and have no hope of pecuniary
help.
The Krupp Works at Essen. which the
men are especially anxious to injure are safe
from inconvenience for several weeks, at
least. as in anticipation of trouble the man.
ayers accumulated stock OF 5000 tons Of
coal. The other ironworks in tile same
region are equally we'll supplied with coal,
in view of the prevailing sackness of trade,
are ready for the worst the miners can do.
A meeting of miners Of all parts west OF
Phalta was held in Bocum this afternoon
and strong resolutions OF sympathy with
the SaaI strikers were almost without oppo-
sltioD, and the meeting decided in favor Of
a general strike in support of the Saar men.
TO begin tomorrow.
COLOGNE, Jan. San attempt was made
this afternoon to blow up the Cologne ex-
press. near Rauxel. A dynamite comb was
placed on the track about 800 yards from
the station, but it exploded prematurely.
The track was torn up for some twenty
yards and buildings nearby were nearly
shaken from their foundations. 1t is be-
lieyed the explosion was the first gun In
strike OF cOal-miners which is expected to
begin here early this week.

1t Was Not Smallpox.

p. w. Thompson, an ex-nurse, created
quite panic about the Receiving Hospital
last night.
Thompson was the nurse who had charge
of Captain Williams, the famous smallpox
patient at 331 Turk street, who caused the
authorities no little trouble.
A few days ago Thompson received his
wages and Immediately proceeded 10 invest
the amount In liquid refreshments. His
rotations had the usual effect and last night
Thompson tell at the corner of Kearny and
Market streets.
When arrested by an officer he loudly pro-
claimed that he had the smallpox. and that
official hurrledly summoned the patrol
wagon and he was taken 10 the Receis ing
Hospital The alsual crowd Of morbid
sight-seers gathered about the hospital door.
but fled in all directions when they learned
the probable cause of his Illness.
DR.. Deane, however. found that the ex-
nurse was suffering from alcoholism only,
and thinks he was laboring under the halu-
cination that he had the dread disease.

Probably the most important measure to

repeal of the mortgage-tax law. a bill ap-
propriating 100000 for the Worlds Fair

FAMINE OF WATER.
1t Threatened Chicago for Time
Yesterday.

CHICAGO. Jan. 6.-The calamity Of
water famine was narrowly averted to-day,
and had II occurred it would have been
famine which. IN all probability, could not
have been relieved before spring. Captain

The men under him had planned to allow
the ice to accumulate round the intakes so
that the water supply would be cut off.

Mckee, who, they claim, treated them
badly. Such strike would have been most
disastrous, rs the cold weather would soon
have formed mass OF ice around the in
takes that nothing but dynamite or the
spring thaw could have removed.
Captain William II. Dahl was appointed
in McKee's place when he, accompanied BY
other officials, arrived at the crib and made
known their mission. Mckee asked the
fifteen men who were at work keeping the
ice from the intakes to 60 with him. The
men were not unanimous in responding to
the invitation and only five accompanied
their late chief.
The officials of the water department deny
that there was any conspiracy TO allow the
pines to freeze up

the lighthouses OF our great lakes and coasts

possibly hundreds of thousands, the birds
killing themselves by dashing against the

indictment is brought against the headlight
