1ankton, S. D., Jan. 16.-Informa-
ticn received here from London re.
garding j. L. NJ. Pierce's swindling
transactions show that the aggregate
or the British losses lnoy reach the
stupendOus sum of S9.ODU,nO. A let
ter from London tirm Of solicitors
says that not quarter of the fraudu-
lent Transactions have yet come to
light. 1t is stated that receipts by
Pierce at his London office were lin
tied only by his ability to issue bonds,
MORTGAGES and other paper, often ex-
ceedins 100000 Il week, and it is al
legged in London that he received no
less than $5OOGOO during his last
week there. 1t is owing to his gi-
gantic transactions that his victims
expect to receive an offer of compro-
mise after the matter shall have cooled
down. To make these losses known
would impair the credit Of the losers
and also make them an object of ridi-
culc, so, therefore. they prefer to bear
their losses in silence. One million
four hundred and four thousand dol
lars of forged bonds. mortgages and
tax deeds are now in possession of the
agents Of the creditors of Pierce here
They have been sent here as claims
against the estate of Pierce, but this
estate will not sell for enough to pay
the attorneys fees. The claims which
are accompanied by the spurious Ec-
curity are as follows: American

MT. w. Brastow Smith, a New Haven young gentleman, son of the late pr. J. H. Smith, who was for over thirty years a prominent New Haven dentist, is meeting with marked success upon the theatrical stage, having filled numerous enga gements with great success and his work having received the warm com mendation of some of the leading names in the theatrical world of to-day in this country, who have pronounced it not only worthy of praise, but as giving evidence that Dame Fortune has some prizes in store for him in the profes- sion, in preparing for which he has giv- en much conscientious study under some of the best masters in the coun- try. In Boston a year ago he took q minor part without rehearsal in Cap tain Paul, playing at the Castle Square theater Minnie Seligman was the lead ing star of the company. He was an honored guest at William Halls, where he had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett After a couple of months stay in Boston he went to New York, where he, at tfeiin. vitation of Mrs. Oldcastle, played very successfully at a matinee at the Garden theater. He also played in the Sport ing Duchess company this season with celebrated artists He has received substantial encbura cement and en- dorsement from leading sources, and is altogether making excellent progress.

FOR FREEDOM OF IRELAND
MOVEMENT OF ESh.4BLIsHnrENT OF
 IRISH-AHERICIN ARMY.

Companies Are to be Formed All Over tho
 Country the Controlling Power of Which
 is the Clan-na- -Gael-The Inner Workings
 Are Conducted With Great Secrecy,
 Chicago, Dec. 15,-A special from New York says: What is said to be a move ment for the establishment of an Irish American army for the liberation of Ireland came to a head last week. when the tenth and last company was or- ganized for the new Irish regiment of New York city, which is designed to be the parent organization of others to be formed all over the country. The inner workings of this movement arc conducted with the greatest secrecy. The controlling power back of the movement is the secret organization of the Clan-na-Gael.
 Every member of the military organi- zation must be member of Clan-na- Gael lodge. Each lodge is to organize ct iHlIIdTy CluD WHICH IurTiSNeS a 1llllls tary company of men selected with the utmost care. Each applicant must be a Catholic. Every member is sworn to uphold the Irish cause and it is an unwritten law of the Clan-na-Gael that death is the penalty for treachery.
 The money for the support of the mili- tary is to be furnished by the Clan-na- Gael lodges. In the large cities where there are numerous lodges regiments are to be formed and companies in the smaller places where there are only one or two lodges. Organizations are now in process of formation in Brooklyn; Boston, Philadelphia, several places in Connecticut and in Chicago and will ai- so be begun in other cities. s8A
 The official designation of the New York regiment is the First Irish Vol- unteers." The uniform is that of the United States army and drills are now being held in the Grand Central Palace. Not the least important feature of the regiment is ito be an engineer branch, formed of men who will make a study of mining operations and the use of explosives.

rnIS WEEK iy coNGEESS.
Expected Announcement of Committees
 Will be Made.

Washington, Dac. 15,-The third week of the senate will open with that body no better equipped for the transaction of business that on the day congress first assembled, although 1t is more than probable that before this week it out caucus committees will have agreed and the committees will have passed into the hands of the republicans. If the suggestions of some of the younger sen ators are followed it is not impossible that this week may find the senate test Ing the strength of the two parties over the subject of the reorganization of the elective officers.
 Tomorrow MT. Stewart will make his first silver speech. Thursday he intro duced a resolution to direct the finance committee to inquire what effect the difference of exchange between gold standard and silver standard countries has upon the agricultural and manufac- turing industries and report by bill or otherwise.
 
 Cullom on his conclusions relative to the Monroe doctrine, and may address the senate on the resolution now on the table early in the week, possibly to- morrow Senator White, who last week offered an amendment that all debate shall be relevant and confined to the subject before the senate, will speak on the resolution Tuesday. It is one of the many propositions now pending to change the rules of the senate with a view of limiting debate.
 The receipt of Secretary Carlisles re- port tomorrow will be the signal for the flood gates to open Several sena- tors, among them MT Sherman, are pre- pairing to discuss the money portion of the presidents message, but have kept silent pending the report which is sup plemental to the recommendations. MT. sherman will hardly be prepared to speak this week, but it would not cause surprise if discussion were pre- cipitated at any time.
 The only thing that is expected in the house this week is the announcement of the committees and then adjourn ment is anticipated. The house is operating under the rules of the Fifty first congress, and if the proposition to make two or three committees on elec- tions is to be carried out change in the rules is looked for in view of MT. Reeds expressions of opinion is 8, re- duction of the number constituting a quorum of the house from a majority. What figure will be fixed upon cannot be stated, but it is the belief that it will not exceed 100, and may be less. Speak CT Reed is satisfied that such change will materially aid in the dispatching of business, and be a means of induc- ing a more general attendance upon the sessions.

A Tremendous Audience p,e.ent

Bridgeport, Dec. 15.--Dr. Joseph Pull man, of libel suit notoriety, preached a sermon to a tremendous audience. About four-fifths of those in the con- gregation were not members of the church, and had evidently gone to the
 church for the purpose of hearing something sensational. Dr. Pullman has not had such large congregation since his sermon on the Concordia ball. Dr. Puliman's remarks were not ex- tended, and he announced that it had not been his intention to say anything. but in view of the glorious numbers of the audience he felt called upon to say something. He spoke substantially as follows: If I could have such large audiences as this right along I would be willing to get arrested once week. want it distinctly understood that I am afraid of nothing. I do not care for arrests, islander suits. libel suits, and I do not mind going to jail if I may take my Bible with me" Dr. Pullman read 8 letter from a clergyman in Boston, expressing sympathy and extending congratula tiOns. pr. Pullman closed his remarks by promising on next Sunday night to preach a sermon upon the theater and it's evils.
