INTENSE ANXIETY.
It Is PeIt In Irish Circles Over a Dynamite
Suspect.

LONDON, January 9.-Intense anxiety
Is manifested in Irish circles concern.
ing the probable fate of Edward ]
Ivory, the new dynamite suspect, who
will be brought to trial next week. As
the indictment has already been found,
there will be no preliminary delay.
Although an eminent array Of counsel
has been engaged in his behalf, the net
has been so closely woven around the
unfortunate man by the New York
traitors and spies, of whom he is the
victim, that there is not shadow Of
doubt of his conviction.
Ivory is now said to be convinced
that be has been made the tool OF q
number of so called representative Irish
men in America, who think nothing Of
wrecking life so that they may have
fresh material for demagogic procla-
nations concerning the hatred OF the
British people for the Irish, and for the
appeals to the ignorant and credulous
for funds.
There is absolutely no question but
that Ivory was betrayed to the British
detectives by the very men in New
York and Brooklyn who induced him
to undertake the so-called mission and
it is also fact that these same men
have advised him to make spread
eagle, patriotic speech in the dock, and
which they can use in their next 'spro-
clamasion to the Irish race

The HOUSE SESSION
The Consideration Of the Pacific
Railroad Funding Bill Re-
sumed To-day.
LATEST CABINET RUMoRS
Great Preparations Making for
the Inauguration Of the Gov
ern0r of Illinois.
A SMALL BANK SUsPENDs

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 8. :
The house, in committee Of the whole
to-day, resumed the consideration O
tho Pacific railroad funding bill.
Mr.. johnson said: "Lst no man de-
ceivs himself with the delusion thai
these roads we're built out of the pro.
cseds of subsidy mortgage bonds, and
sales OF land grants, netting q profit Of
800, 100000. MIR. johnson asked
what excuse members could make to
their constituents by adding to that
magnificent gift s12S, 100000 more,
which was what the bill practically
proposed to do.
MIR Daniels, of New York, urged the
passage of the bill, as reasonable and
q fair business proposition.
Mr.. Grosvenor, Of Ohio, said the
question should be settled in the inter.
ests Of the government and OF the
roads, and the present proposition, he
believed, is the best that could be
obtained, although not all the equity is
demanded.
Hilburn, of California, opposing the
wicked bill'', said that the Gen.
trail Pacific company would not give
the government a mortgage upon the
present overland line from Sacramento
to Oakland, but the government would
get mortgage upon the old Western
Pacific line, which was abandoned,
long ago, except for purely local pur-
poses. The ferry privileges had lately
been transferred to another corpora
tion. 10 support OF this, he read a.
telegram from the city assessor OF San
Francisco.
Mr.. Hilburn haunted the city asses
sor's telegram, but Mr.. Powers waving
il aside, said: II don't care for your
telegram. 1t comes from an interested
party" Mr.. Hilburn.-"It comes
from city official and an honorable
man."
Mr.. Powers, (scornfully) ga city Of
fetal! So is Mayor Sutro city official.
They are entargled in conspiracy to
force the government take the road and
operate it in the interest of California.

After this, "Church Memories Of Four

other member now in the parish. The pa
per abounded in apt reference and sug-

back the persons, scenes ana events OF the
last half Of the church's life.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Loudon,s ed-
dress, Rev. s. Warner Curtis, minister Of
the Spanish Presby terian church, Las
Vegas, gave the greetings Of the congre.
cation now worshiping on the original site
of the church, and in the building erected

After singing the Tooth Psalm, Ia Watts

IMMHN sE BLOWOUT.
That's What the Inauguration [of tho Illinois
Governor VIII Be.

SPRINGFIELD, H., January o.
The state capital is filling up with visi-
tors thus far in advance of the inaugu-
ration Of Governor. elect Tanner, on
Monday. All the indications point to
an immense throng, and where one-h hall
of it will sleep, unless the railroads can
move 1t out Of town before nightfAll OF
Monday, 10 q question. Every room in
the hotels Of every grade has been en-
gagged since November, with five or six
guests to room. The lodging-houses
are insured lite harvest, while resi-.
dents for miles out in the country have
prepared for turning an honest dollar
in the way Of entertaining few trans
lent guests.
The examples of Governor Black, Of
New York; Pingree, Of Michigan, and
other lately installed state executives,
in putting veto on all display and
ostentation attending their inaugura-
ton, have been lost on the s'machIne,"
which has charge Of Monday function.
The "machine' has money to burn;
for, besides its power to levy assess
ments as often as it may take notion,
every one Of Its Members Is an Office
holder, and their annual grabs from the
public will for the next six years
aggregate in the neighborhood of a
million dollars yearly. Hence. they
have decided to make the Inauguration
Of Monday such a '.blow- out" as the
state has never seen. 1t is said that
the agent for single champagne I'M
porting house has shipped to this city
upon orders, 1900 cases of quarts, 10
which the new administration Is TO be

Save In the Catholic church, the pas.

reaches no wever that distinction, to-
morrow, and the event will be observed
with appropriate services and with
festivities commencing on Monday
