Of the Irish parliaInenfal

s of the Irish parliafnenfaf
liifttee, for the purpose of mappif9g
out a policy TO be pursued during the
coming session of parliament, finds it.
elftconfronted with an unexpected up
setting Of the plans that had been for
mulated, in the shape of the resigna-
ton of Justin Mccarthy from the chair
manship. The representatives of the
Irish race in the English parliament
have depended upon the skill of this
eminent parliamentarian and writer to
guide and direct them through what
promises to be a critical period, and
his resignation, which is due entirely to
his rapidly failing health, has left them
in a quandary.
Thomas Sexton is favored by Nc
Carthy as his successor, while Edward
Blake, formerly of Canada, and John
Dillon are also favorably regarded; but
none of these have the ability for har-
monizing conflicting elements and of
meeting the astute leaders of the gov
eminent on their own ground, that is
possessed by Justin Mccarthy. AL
| though the latter has given assurance
| that, while relieved of the responsible
| tiles of a leader, he will not neglect his
! parliamentary duties, it is considered
doubtful whether the state of his health
will allow of his being seen very much
in ST. Stephens during the coming ses-
sion. His retirement at this time is a
distinct loss to the cause of the Irish
race, especially in view Of the fact that
active work is just commencing on the
| preliminaries of the international har-
| mony convention of the Irish people
which is to be held in Dublin early dur
ing the coming summer

POIsONs IN FAIR BLOSSOMS.
Warming TO Those Who Sleep in
Rooms with Flowers and Plants.

warning 10 Those who sleep In
Rooms with Flowers and Plants.
One by one illusions are dispelled, and
the case of the young woman who the other
day was overcome by the perfume of a mass
of violets sent her by friend adds another
wreck to the list of broken idols, says the
New York Herald. II has always been con-
sldered the most beautiful compliment one
could pay a friend to send flowers. roses or
violets, especially as a token OF affection.
But now that II is known that deadly poisons
turk among these charming little blossoms,
which may bring harm to Offset the pleasures
given to dear ones, the charm must certainly
be lessened.
The story of this young woman's narrow
escape as told, was surprise to many who
had never realized that there any
danger In flowers. The hundreds of beauti-
full violets which had been sent her by
friend in California and which she priced
so highly as not to wish to be parted from
them even during the night. came near being
the cause of her death, for she was found
in an unconscious condition In the morning
and was with difficulty aroused.
How dangerous the poisonous gases which
the flowers eXhale can become when In
badly ventilated room would be a good
subject for study by the bellies of society or
the stage, who receive so many similar
tributes to their charms.
DR.. Fowler of 270 West Seventy-second
street, who was asked his opinion on the
subject said that many cases of dangerous
illness and even of death from such causes
were well nkown and authenticated.
The plants. especially towering ones Dr.
Fowler said during the day are not harm
full. because they are breathing in just the
part of air which our lungs throw or but at
night the process is reversed and they
throw off the carbonic acid gas, which Is
poison to our lungs. This causes weakness
of the heart, faintness and hysterla with
some people, and even death.
"A case Is known, which happened not very
long ago in Germany. I'M one of the Hesses,
where the friends Of a bride and groom, in
their desire TO start them on their career
on rosy pathway, adorned their room with
quantities of flowers, 1t was in cold weather,
and the windows were closed, leaving the air
heavy with perfumes. The happy couple
retired To their rose-decked room, and were
found In the morning dead, heart failure hay-
ing resulted from the poisonous perfume.
"There is poison in the perfume OF many
flowers, not in yioletS more than any others,
but 1t Is in such small quantities as to be
harmless unless massed and confined.
Prussic acid Ia found in mild degree In
most perfumes and II Is used by many per-
fumes in fact TO intensity oders Other
well known medical polsons come from
flowers. II Is never safe 10 have any growing
or cut flowers In a bedroom at night for you
cannot tell when the system may be In such
a condition as 10 be affected by their eX-
halatlons."

STILL INSISTS HE is A VICTIM OF FRAUD
Announces His Willingness to Fight
Shnrkcy at Any Time ana
select n Snn Fran
cisco Referee.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 1s-Bob Fit2sim-
mons gave cut the following statement last
night:
ITO the Public: desire to extend to the
many kind and sympathetic friends that l
have made in San Francisco my sincorest
thanks for their words of kindly cheer dur.
ing my effort made in the court m the vain
endeavor to recover the $4,000 which,
though honestly won by me, was as dis
honestly taken from me by the foulest
conspiracy ever perpetrated in the annals
of pugilam
81 was induced to commence the suit In
the belief that the issue of fraud which
charged would be fairly and squarely met
and | was encouraged in that belief when
General Barnes stated in court that he
wanted the doors of investigation thrown
wide open, and wanted the case determined
on justice alone. Finding that the justice
of the case was with me and that | fully
established the fraud which l charged had
been perpetrated, he sought refuge in the
weakness of the law to deprive me OF my
Just rights and moved a dismissal of the
case on the ground that the contest was
nothing but prize fight, and that the court
was, therefore, poweress to relieve. The
utter hopelessness of the defense in this case
was manifest when resort had to be made
to a motion of this character asking for
decision which might involve the liberty of
the defendant as well as those conspirng
with him.
81 am pleased that the public know all
of the facts of this case, and l am willing
to stand or fall by their judgment Fully
realizing the great injustice done me and
also done every fairminded citizen by the
parties to this foul conspiracy, ! still have
faith in the belief that there are honest
referees yet to be found in San Francisco,
and | announce myself as ready to make
match with anyone whom | have
not already defeated, making, however, an
exception of Sharkey whom l am willing
to meet at his pleasure.
"In conclusion | would say I have always
been an enemy of foul blows and foul meas
ures. and that feeling, hope will stay with
me as long as | shall continue to be proud of
the honest and true friends that | have
made during my stay in San Francisco.
Yours sincerely,

THINK THE SITUATION is GRAVE.
London Comment on the Action of
the senate Committee.

the senate Committee.
LONDON. Dec. 19.--The morning papers
very generally comment upon the gravity of
the situation between the United States and
Spain brought about by the action OF the
senate foreign relations committee in agree
ing to report Senator Cameron's resolution.
They agree for the most part, in expressing
the belief that President Cleveland will veto
the resolution II IL is sent to him, but that
in the present temper OF the American people
the resolution viii be passed by congress
over the veto with the requisite two-thrds
majority,
In that case" says the Chronicle. "the
resolution will be tantamount to a docara-
tion of war. Any great power would declare
war, but 1t is difficult to say what Spain
would do. 1t would be a combat against
overwhelming odds, which could only end in
the one way. But the Spanish are proud
and the house of Bourbon fears, with good
reason, that the loss of Cuba would mean
the loss OF the throne. Spain would prob
ably appeal to the powers, who would thereby
be placed in the most embarrassing posi-
tion most of them have been In since the
days OF Prince Metternich's diplomatic com
munication. Ii the powers assume hostile
attitude, that would certainly have the effect
OF clinChing the American sentiment and of
sealing the fate of Cuba"
Looking to the momentous possibility of
the popular will overriding President
Cleveland and the cabinet. the Chronicle
thinks "it is bad outlook for the rela-
tions of all nations with the United States
The danger, however, is far greater for
America herself than for any other nation.
Besides the senate's action is virtual
reputation of the Monroe doctrine"
The Chronicle says, finally: There Is an
ominous coincidence in the fact the senate's
decision occurred on the same date as Presi-
dent Cleveland's Venezuelan message"
The Daily News thinks little but talk will
come out of the resolution. THE jingoes."
II says, want to embarrass President Clove-
land, who can afford to be embarrassed"
The Standard SAYS Nothing could be
more uncompromising than the terms of the
resolution. The shock to Spanish pride will
be increased rather than mitigated by the
tender of the presidents friendly offices.
Fortunately there is the constitutional time
barrier against violent measures and though
It is much to hope, II may be trusted. as in
the Venezuelan case, that the calm judg-
ment of the nation will override jingoism.
II Is difficult to imagine how the president
could be compelled to make war against his
Will. The attempt would entail very per-
picking issue in domestic relations"
Reviewing the situation, the Standards
article proceeds by saying: ut would be al
most relief to Spain to turn from the
inglorious struggle to retrieve her disaster by
some dramatic stroke of vengeance on the
Americans. Who shall say that Spain lacks
the power to give effect to its resentment?
In the long run the states can provide any
force needed, but it is the merest truism to
say that America has no navy that could
hold the sea against the Spanish fleets"
