Irish Members Move for Amnesty for
Political Prisoncrs.

LONDON, Jan. 20.--T'he debate on the ad-
dress in reply to the speech from the throne
was resumed in the House of Commonc
today. Patrick O'Brlen, the Parnellltc
whip. member Of Parliament from Kilkenny
City, moved an amendment to the effect
that the time has come for the cases OF ali
the Irish political prisoners to be considered
He appealed for amnesty for the few re.
naming In prison.
Timothy NJ Healy, anti-Parnellite mem,
Der for North Louth said that IL inquiry is
made into the conspifacies and plots In
America 1t will be found that an English
agent had his nose in every one of them
Mr.. Healy also expressed his belief that
| fifteen years Imprisonment was enough pun.
tshment for the prisoners, and he added
that the sixtieth anniversary of the queens
reign was good occasion to show clemency
Mr.. Healy attacked the course followed by
the former secretary, Mr. Asquith, in regard
to the political prisoners, rallied at police
plots, and said that Superintendent Anderson
was paid 10000 yearly to promote such
plots. In the course of his remarks Mr..
Healy was repeatedly called to order.
The home secretary, Sir Matthew White
Ridley replied, saying 1t would be satisfactory
to the government If they could remedy any
Irish grievance but he added, whatever the
motives of the political prisoners. they
were guilty OF Grimes adhered by the civil
| lied world" and he was unable at present to
advise her majesty to grant them amnesty.
The home secretary pointed out that in the
withdrawal OF the charge against Bell ed
ward j. Ivory the country has just had proof
| of the fairness and impartiality of the courts.
Sir Matthew White Ridley also said he
was convinced that the pohce discovery Of
the conspiracy with which Ivory was con-
nected had saved the public from a great
disaster He added that should the health
or sanity of the political prisoners be af-
feCtel they would be released Ha did nnt
desire a repetition of the results which un-
fortunately happened in the case of DR..
Thomas Gallagher, explaining that he first
heard DIR. Gallagher was threatened with
insanity at the end of June and that he
acted Immediately.
Mr.. Clancy, in supporting Mr. O'Brien's
motion, referred to the case of Edward j.
Ivory and said that the most important
crown witness was an American informer
whom the government shrunk from putting
inthe box If they had done so, continued
Mr.. Clancy, he felt certain that instead of
proving Ivcrys guilt 1t would have shown
the completely of the government officials
in the alleged conspiracy
Mr.. OBrien's amendment was defeated by
vote of 204 to 1872.
Mr.. Dillon moved an amendment calling
upon the government to introduce compre-
hensive measures for the relief of Irish hus-
baniry. saying that the proposed board of

Heisland and Secretary Floyd, to the

Mr.. Hanna shows slight trace of his
recent Illness, but appears to be rapidly
regaining his good health. OF course, a
great deal of interest attaches to Mr.. Hanna 5
visit to Canton at this time On account OF
the reported senatorial tangle and number
of newspaper men surrounded him as he
stepped from the coach.
IL really have nothing to say at this time,
said Mr.. Hanna, ION any matters, and es-
pscially the senatorial subject. l want to
see Major Mckinley and talk over a great
many things. Further than what l have
told you l really cannot talk"
MIR. Hanna returned to Cleveland at

There have been many visitors during the
day and while some were of special prom
inence, all had something to present to the
president-elect.
Among the first to call was General Thomas
w. Bradley of Waldon, N. Y. Some weeks
ago it was rumored that General Bradley
would be put forward by his soldier friends
rs their choice for commissioner of pensions

ing by Major Mckinley was such as one
comrade gives another and of the friend
liest nature. They had long private confer

President Lyman Critici1es the Course
of Lawyer Carson.
NEW YORK, Jan. Gothic news of Ivory S
release, owing to the abandonment of the
prosecution by the English government, was
received with rejoicing by Irish-Americans in
this city. William Lyman, president of tho
National Alliance who sent John Mcintyre,
assistant district attorney Of New York, 10
help Ivory, made the following statement to
tho Associated press this evening:
From the very first | believed this whole
matter was a scheme of the British home
Office and its agent, Scotland Yard. The col
lapse of the Ivory caus indicates plainly
to me that Gallagher, DAILY and other prison
ers would never have been convicted had
their friends stepped out Of the conventional
and dared to make proper defense. The
English authorities were permitted to have
their way The Irish National alliance de-
termned to act differently and defend Ivory
to the last ditch. / believe that the pres
encc OF Mr.. Mcintyre, an American lawyer,
had all to do with the abandonment of the
prosecution. l believe that the conduct OF
at least ono OF the resident lawyers retained
for Ivory's defense Is open to criticism. For
example, Edward Carson, G. c., endeavored
to induce Ivory to plead guilty. His advice
to- Ivory was that he would be found guilty
and sentenced to twenty years If he at
tempted to defend himself and that 1t would
bo better for him to plead guilty, even com
promising on plea OF being Fenian ana
having been entrapped By dynamiters. He
was assured that II he did SO plead he might
not expect more than a fve-year sentence,
and possibly the prison door would be opened
to him provided he left the country in TWEEN
ty-four hours Ivory would not so plead and
thereupon Carson threw up his brief,
'The scheme to have Ivory plead guilty
went so far as to take the form of letter
to his friends in this country, urging them
to advise the prisoner by cable to so plead.
1t was the apparent urgency to dispose OF
tho case in way favorable to the govern
ment that determined Ivorys friends to
hasten the departure OF Mr.. Mcintyre, ana

Women object To Ride.

LARAMIE, Wyo., Jan. 2O.-(special)-A
number of women of this city held public
meeting this evening for the purpose OF
drafting a petition and passing resolutions
to be forwarded to the state legislature ask
ing for the passage of law making the
use of carriages in elections TO haul the gem
eral public to the polls illegal The practice
is common and has grown out of the idea
that 1t Is necessary to have carriages To
carry the women voters to the polls. The
Laramie women resent this idea and con-
demn the practice as a system of petty brb-
cry and an insult to their sex.

VICTORIA, b. c.. Jan. 2O.-Private cable
grams from London state that at the Hudson
Bay company's sale of furs today salted
fur sealskins sold 121a per cent lower than

sold today was fl los 4d. The above in
formation has created CONSERVATION in bust

say that it means the total extinction of the
sealing trade, as far as Victoria is concerned.
More than 10000 skins secured by Victoria
vessels were in today's market at London and
on each of these there is direct loss OF
not less than $3.50, and in some instances
the less is upwards of So skin.
The total loss to Victoria schooners Is up
wards OF 100000. Today's prices have made
Victoria owners of sealing vessels determine
to lay up their vessels, and 1t is likely
none of them will leave port this season.
