This afternoon a number ol bills were re ported fiom the committee on selection of Important measures. The report was adopted. Mr. Whit more ot Uouirlas then rose and offered the following resolutions : Whereas , The government of ( heat Brlt- aln , In defiance of the wishes ot the Irish people , and of the expressed vv 111 of the peoples ples ot Wales and Scotland and of the de mocracy of England , deny the Irish people a responsible eoveinment , and now Uneaten them with the Infliction of laws that will trample on every vestige of personal and constitutional liberty , and must only end In bloodshed If not In the ruin of the Irish people ple : and Whereas , The Irish people have always bean steadfast ana faithful friends of Amer ican llbeity , lighting tor its achievement and dying for its preset vatlon , nnd so bound up with us by ties of blood and honorable mem ories that our hearts are greatly moved by their noble ti ugule lor human freedom ; Kesolvcd , That we condemn the Irish pol icy of Lord Salisbury and his cabinet as at variance with every principle of constitu tional law and justice , as Inhuman In con ception and tending not only to Injure the people of Ireland , but to Imperil the safety of the British empire nnd to estinngo the rood wilt nud friendship of the American people , who can never sanction a policy that conflicts witli justice nnd liberty. Kesolved , That we uxtond to Mr. Parncll aud his co-laborers , nnd to the Irish nation our heartfelt sympathy and encouragement to continue their gallant struggle until , under the wlglH of n national and responsible gov ernment , Ireland shall once moio enjoy peace and happiness. Kesolved. That wo honor the noble stand taken by Mr. Gladstone and the enlightened democracy of Grout Britain , and oxpiess our conlidenco that their pilnciples of justice and liberty to Ireland will prevail over the bar- beious and unrighteous policy of the tory uovoinmcnt , Kesolved , That copies of thesn resolut'ons bo cabled to the Hon. Charles Stewart Par- neil nnd Hon. William K. Gladstone , house of commons , London , In support of this resolution Mr. Whltmoro said : "Among my earliest recollections is that of n rusty aud nattered old sword hangIng - Ing up bcsldo the chimney lu A home hal lowed by the pure lives nnd tranquil deaths of thrco generations of my ancestors. With this old sword my creat gratidslre helped to cut elf the head of British tyranny in the American colonies. With such blood coursIng - Ing In my veins , rocked lu my' ' childhood In tlmt grand old "craule of liberty. " Fnneuil hall , and drawing my earliest political Inspi rations from such Immortal champions of liberty as Charles Sumner , William Lloyd Garrison , Henry Wilson and Wendell Phil lips , with eveiy Instinct of my nature Impel ling mo to sympathise with the oppressed and downtrodden everywhere. It is natural when i rend In the papers this mom Ing of the co ercion bill proposed In the British house of commons last night my blood fairly boiled within me , and 1 now most heartily move the adoption of this resolution. " The resolution was adopted with a ringIng - Ing vote , Messrs. Hclmrod and Marshall vet ing In the negative. Tim \\est Lincoln Salluo land question was bro\mbt \ up again. Mr. Caldvvell said there was nothing to be said In addition to what had already been said with reference to tlm sale of thww lands. If the legislature didn't favor the sMo ot the lands In Question , why then they should kill Iho bill. If they did favor the sale , why Hutu they should pass the bill. " Mr. Bowman thought the state did not want to go Into the real estate business. Ho thought the lands omcht to bo gold , nnd the question was whether they could trust the board of public lands and buildings , espe cially when It vias known that they could notRe below a certilu minimum price In the appraisement ot the lands. T h opposition to the bill had COIIIB from a certain section of the state ( meaning Douglas county ) for which the house had already spent a ( treat deal ot time m endeavoring to effect legislation. Dut Uteri wore BOW othw section * which. needed attention as much as that of the sec tion upon which so much time had been spent. Mr. Miller said that If the object of the promoters of this were honest they would open these lands to public sale so that ovciy cltl/en of Nebraska might come up and put In bis little bid. He wanted a law passed which would be of n general nature , and not confined to the lessees of the hinds who have now a lease of fifty > ears. Ho did not want the hill killed nnd because of that desire liu wanted the bill to bo committed. Mr. Fuller of Gau'o wanted the bill to bo iccommltted. Ho was opposed to It be- rausu It did not propose to make the bargain and sale now. It left that option open for two yearn , nnd then hn telt the boaid of public lands and build ings would not raise their appraisement ono penny , 'lhat board , ho know , had enter tained an appraisement ot school lands for S7 when they knew the land was worth § 30 , n acre. Mr Kief read from a list showing the iiiantltyof lands now hold in West Lincoln. iV'hlch ho said the stock company appraised t § 2,200 per acre. If that land was worth so luch , why should SVXi be objected to by that ompiiny as tlm price of land much nearer ho city'If this land be sold at the price mggestcd by the special committee the state .voiild tegict It. At this Juncture the opposition for the sec- d time shut off debate by n call of time. Mr. Kayuiond said ho knew the opposition o this bill panic from Omaha , which was un willing to allow Lincoln to Increase Its pack ing facilities. Hi ! saw the hand of John A. McSliann in this movement Mr. Smjth Mr. McSlmne has not been on his floor. Mr. Kaymond It Is not necessary for him oho here. I know he has been aenlnst the mnomont and so has Crolghton. You must nil admit that the inteiests of this state are best subserved by bavin. our packing houses scatteied all over the state , nnd not confined ' .o Omaha. .Mr. Andres repelled the charge that the Douglas county delegation had monopolized the attention of the house for their own good. Mi. Newton moved the previous question. The motion was lost. Mr. Whltmore said that the combination which was formed some dajs ngo was not so much on the appropriations as It was that the Interests of the state would bo protected In this bill. But it seemed to him that the friends of this bill had resorted to unfair moans to rusli It through , especially when tlm special committee ruportcMl. Now they wcni forced to allow the stock yards company to pick out the best lands , the highest and divest acrobat the amount of S-o3 ! per acre , and permit the company to leave the rest , which was nlvvnys under water , in the possession of the state. Ho would rather favor the original bill. Mr. Bowman wanted to know from what premises Mr. Wbltmo'o had concluded the price would be about $209 per acre. Mr. Whltinoioanswcied the question nnd Mr. Miller also , the latter by saying that It vvns because the stock yards had a lease for hfty yeais , and that they had no necessity of buying these lands unless they got them at their own prices. Besides he Knew that the report of the special committee had been prepared - pared before the committee visited the lands. Mr. Shamp denied the last Imputation. GJ Mr. Knox resented Mr. Raymond's re marks and said it an examination were made it would bo discovered how little Douglas county had received In comparison with that which had been given to Lancaster. Mr. Peters , a member of the special com mittee , denied that that body had acted im properly in making their leport Mr. llelmrod said that ho had acted on the commltten winch appraised the lands at not less than S500 , nnd that the report was made upon the knowledge that the state had a valuable piece of land In tlm property In question which could not bo easily dis posed of. Speeches were also made by Messrs. Pern- berton. Cole. Newcomer , Watson , Dempster nnd Nlchol In opposition to the motion , nnd Smyth and several others in support of the same. The motion to recommit was carried bv a vote of 40 to 43. The house In open session passed the fol lowing : Exempting from attachment prop erty to the value of 8500. To-morrow morning tno majority nnd mi nority reports of the railroad commission on the transportation bill will bo the special order for 10 o'clock. KVKMNO SESSION. To-nlshtan unsuccessful attempt was made to a ain bring up the saline bill for consider ation bv Mr. llayden , but without success. Mr. Crane's house roll providing that In county scat contests if more than two-fifths of the votes cast favor the site held betoie the contest another election shall not take place for live years , was read and passed. The vote on the saline bill with reference to developing the salt interest of West Lin coln was reconsidered. House roll 414 for the government of the Nebraska industrial home , was passed. The roll uboye reconsidered Is highly amenda tory of the hill passed two years ago by which the woik now being done in the saline lands was nuthorl/ed. It provides for the building of dikes by the state to piotect the land from an ovoillow with ficsh water when any person shall be able toconvincethoboard of public lands and buildings that the brine now available Is capable of producing 1UO barrels of salt per day. The bill was passed. The following bills were also ( pissed : Senate file 13 , requiring notaries to pur chase new soals.and senate hie 214 , providing for the valuation ot lands upon which roads shall locate or build. The senate announced that It had made minor amendments to house loll 3 , the tegls- ter of deeds loll. They were concurred In by the house. Mr. Dempster moved that the saline sale bill bo considered. Mr. Hayden wished to amend the same by opening the sale to all bidders instead of the lesees as now contemplated. Mr. Dem us tor's motion was lost. Mr. Uayden's amendment was not acted upon. About a dozen senate files were read for the first time. The question of a normal school nt Fre mont brought up a long discussion. The de feated advocates of normal schools in differ ent parts ot the state fought It vigorously. The strong point of Fremont's offer Is a building and furniture ready for occupancy and to cost the state nothing. The call of the housu was made a couple of times and at lensth the sergosnt-at-arms was sent to town foi the absent ones. While he was away the members cauomidcd one another with books and bundles of papers. At 11 : GO the objectors to dispensing with the rail of the house , as also those opposed to n Mourning , effected a compromise that the question would comu up again as unfinished business. It cannot bo called to-morrow morning without n two-thlid vote because theie Is n special order for 10wo'clock. : : The opponents of the bill think tills will kill it. Parnell to Fltzcrrald. LINCOLN. Neb. , March 29. [ Special to the Bnr.J John Fitzgerald has leeched the fol lowing cablegram from Charles Stbwart Par nell : HOURS or COMMONS. LONPOX , March 2 ? . John Fitzgerald , Lincoln , Neb. : The coercion bill proposed to-night In the house of com mons U the elghty-BOventh since the act of union , eighty-seven years ago. It Is also the most Btilngcnt , tyrannical , and uncalled for by the state of atfalrs In Ireland. Never be fore lifts a coercion bill been proposed when crlmo was BO rapidly decreasing , as compared with previous years. The measure Is aimed against all open agitation , and appears to be expressly designed for driving discontent be neath the surface. It places all public speak ers , writers nud conductors of newspapers ab solutely at the mercy ot stipendary magis trate ? , holuiuir their cilice at the pleasure of the crown. It condemns the Irish speaking peasant of rack-rented Kerry to the tender mercies of a packed jury of Orangemen , or landlord * ; or to a jury of Englishmen at the Old Bailey. In London. Tliu liberal party lu the house , headed by Gladstone , stands as one man acalnst Oils Iniquitous measure , and will tlL'ht shoulder to shoulder with us In opposing U to the last. It seems Impossi ble to believe that even the present house of commons will continue to follow the tory government In their mad course , nnd good judges consider the measure will break and ruin the cabinet We must , however , pre pare for the worst ; and 1 confidently appeal to the American people for that sympathy and 8uptort ] wblcn they never withheld from a people struggling for liberty , PAIIXELI. Mr. Flt/Kfraid cabled the following reply to Mr. Parnell : LINCOLN , Neb. , March 20. To Honorable Charles U. Painell , M , P. , lioute of Common1' , London Y nor cnlo re ceived. The ieaeuo will ledouble Its efforts. lieland Is sure of Ameilcan sympathy and support in Hie coming crisis. The Nebraska legislature to-day , by as unanimous vote , passed resolutions of sympathy with Ireland , and condemning the lory policy of coercion. This and similar manifestations throughout this free country glvu the lie to the slanders of the English piess , that true Americans do not sympathl/o with Ireland.

KEEPING UP TflE INTEREST , No Diminution of the Excitement Over the Haddock Murder Trial. LEAVITT AGAIN ON THE STAND. Ill * Wife Also Tells What She Knows About the Crime lUsmnrck's Kvlilenco Interrupted Uy the liawycrs. Sioux City's Gront Cnsc. Sioux CITY , la. , March 20. [ Special Tele- mm to the BKK. ] The sixtli day of the rent Haddock murder trial was marked by no diminution of Interest As on yesterday nly a small part of the crowd could bo ac commodated. The number of ladles In at- endnncc Is Increasing every dny. So great is the nnxletv to be present and hear every- , hlng , that the court room Is generally packed i long tlnio betore the hour for opening iiud many remain standing hour after hour. A number of the co-conspirators were specta- ors to-day. As Indicated In yesterday's re- > ort the defense had not gotten through with .cavitt and consequently IIP was at ouco re- : alled this morning. Ho concluded on cross- examination as follows : 1 am acquainted with Louis Selzcr ; do not remember of laving a conversation with htm on the morn- ng of August 2,1880. I did not say to him , 'We ouiight to blow up some of these -as\\o did In Lcavenworth when we ended our prohibition light. " I am not ac quainted with a man named Mat Franciscus and did not say to him , 'Those fellows want to whip the preachers. I am In favoro of kill ing them. " 1 did not say to Louis Selzer. " 1 guess 1 have put my foot In It. " and "Will you give me bonds ? " I.do not knowJauies rey. a saloon man at 004 Fourth street. 1 d not go to his saloon on August 3 and ask to bortow a pistol , 1 was In Sioux City when the defendants were indicted. 1 went to sco "Bismarck" In the county jail. 1 did not say to him , "Hello , 'Bismarck. ' How nro you getting alone ? If you have not got what you want , tell me and you shall have it. 1 suppose your wife lias no money by this time. Give mo her address and 1 will send her money. You know I did not shoot Haddock. You saw Arensdorf shoot as well an mo. I can get you bonds , but you will have to Icnvo town , There is no fear of us going to the pen if you stick to that story 1 told you. " 1 did not tell him any of the above. I did not say to "Bismarck , " " 1 have some witnesses that will swear to any thing I want them to. " 1 don't know where Arensdorf had the pistol before he shot. 1 was twenty-livo feet fiom Haddock when he was killed. I can't sayt who was standing nearest , ino. I can't sav who the man was who ran up the sheet with me after the shoot ing.On On redirect examination Leavltt related the circumstances of Wood and Hill obtaining his confession , with which the public is gen erally familiar. Mis. U. S. Leavitt was next called , She testilied : " 1 know John Arensdorf when L see him. I hemd a part of the convocation between my husband and Mr. Arensdorf , who were standing benentu my window on Fouitli street a few days lifter the murder. Arensdorf said ho had lust been bofoie the coronor'a jurv. He said Henry Peters would be called before the coroners jury next. Arensdorf said Peters was a damned Dutch man and could not bo * fixed for evidence , and that ho would send 111 in to Nebiaska and then to Germany. Then witness told the story about Loa Bpingrrom Jonn- son's to his room andjtli ngliiit his clothes on the night of the murder and returning to Johnson's. Witness identified the clothing worn by her husband that nleht. Albert Kosnilski alias "Bismarck , " who made a confession subsequent to Leavltt , after upturning from San Francisco where he was arrested as a conspirator , next testilied : 1 was born In Get many. 1 came to America seven years ago and came to Sioux City in 1871) ) . I worked in the pork house In the Winter time ami at driving pumps in sum mer. I am forty-three years old and lived on the west sldo the night Kov. Haddock was killed. I know John Aronsdorf since coming to this city. 1 know ( ieorgo Trelbcr. He keeps a saloon on Fourth street. I have known Ficd Munchrath for live years. He was keeping a saloon when Haddock was killed. 1 know Henry Peters. Ho worked with Aretisdorf In the samebiowery. I knew Louis Plath. Ho was keeping a saloon when the murder took place. 1 met George Treiber on the day of the murder In Iront oftho Barlow block. 1 went into his saloon with Treiber. Iliad a talk with him. Treiber and I then came to the court house where the Injunction cases against the saloon keepers weie being tried. I knew Kov. Haddock by sight. I law him at the court house the day before the murder. He was n witness In a case. I remained at the court house about ono hour. When we left the court house wo went up to Seventh street , Treiber pointed out the Methodist church. He said It was the preacher's house. The defense at this point entered an ob jection to the witness stating declarations made by the co-conspirators and the remain der of the morning was consumed In discuss ing the two points Involved. The state made a proposition and elted cases to prove the same that when the. fact of a conspiracy was clearly established then all later acts and declarations of the conspirators are admlssa- bio as evidence. District Attorney T. F. Murphy was re called Immediately after the noon adjourn ment and tustilied thaj the electric light was about twenty-five feet west of the bridge over which Arensdorf and Peters ran. The light on the night of [ the murder shone so that an acquaintance could be recognl/ed might have even have been distinguished by a stranger so as to recognUe or describe him again. ' Following this the arguments on the nd- mlssabillty of the evidence above referred to was resumed and the ) conclusion was only reached at the hour Ipr adjouinment. The defense urged that the conspiracy had not been shown to exist ; that the Indictment under which Arensdort was now on trial did not charge It , and hence ho was unable to disprove It ; that the conversation which the state desired to introduce in evidence took" place previous to the formulation of the al leged conspiracy. I Jud.'e Lewis overruled the objection setup up by the defense and so "HIsinarck" will go on the stand In the miming to complete His storv and reveal the history of the conspir acy. The testimony * therefore to-morrow promises to be fully afiseasatlonal and start ling as that of yesterday. "Bismarck" Is a quiet , dark-complexisoed foreigner , possess ing coolness and nosltlveness which will stand him In good p rtto-morrow. It may b < a stated as a general toct that the theory of the state is gaining greater and greater credence every day. T . believe that the defendant now on , trU will be convicted. Little confidence teeiBsJto repose In the jury. Th picion returnln * Qpon AdttlT IS al- most universal. With i man In his place like any one of the ottiif eleven it Is believed the jury would agree.

Ho Delivers n Strong Denunciatory Speech In the Comtuons. LONDON , March 2l . Gladstone resumed lie debate on the Irish criminal law amend- lent bill , llo was loudly cheered when ho rose. Ho said an tssua so grave , proposals o extreme as those now put forth by the overnment , required nmplc time for con. ( deration. He found himself bound to siin- lort Parnell's amendment because the ground upon which Baltour based the gov rnmcnt's case was absolutely liiMilllolent ind unsatisfactory. The government's bill , nstead of being a euro for Irish Ills or even lalliatlvc , was a measure that would nggra- nto deep seated anil worst dlsoiders. 'With this coeiclon bill , " exclaimed dlnd itone , "tho prospect of conciliation vanished nto thin air. " The government Intended to 'xcludo the land bill vvhleh was tliu main recommendation of the commission which list completed an exhaustive Investigation it tliu lilsh trouble. Nothing to- nains but a figure of coercion , bare , laid and gaunt , nlr.s , too familiar. The right honorable chief secretary for Ire- and hits attempted to excuse the pioposals on the ground that crime In Ireland during ho hist three years lias Increased. But ho 'ollo\\ed an unusual course In refraining Irom giving the housa olllcla ! Information novlng his allegations. The statistics fiom Ireland are ngalnst the govcinmont. Take lie Instance given of threatening letters. In ibS5 , 433 surh letters WHO received ; in Ihsi , jut 75 moro weio received. That hnrdlv furnishes ground tor asking pailianient to assent to the extreme measures of coercion. Other classes of crime amounted In lbs ! > to ill ! , and In ItteO to SIT. ( Opposition cheers. ) This Increase was described as the main rea son for the nxtiemu demands of the govein- mcnt. If Baltour had luither private In- ormatlon , let him speak. It was the llrst time ho ( Gladsono ) know ot niionvmous isscitlons being Imposed on parliament In support of a demand tor legislation [ Cheers ! . Ilino he referted in detail to the cases ad duced bv Balfour of league tyranny over per sons. Continuing ho said : Boycotting l bad enough , but it wag not confined to the nationalists. Ho knew of a Piotestant cler- ; y man who had been dcpilved ot his living because ho was a home-ruler. Continued al lusions had been made to previous liberal coercion proposals in 1881. When his government proposed coercion the erouud was the ncltatlon then existing1. Wherever ho went he was dogKodby cilmo. For the present bill them was no such excuse. The demand was made upon the house to commit the most formida ble broach of trust that a popular assembly could perpetrate to relax the conditions upon which alone parliament should sanc tion u change in tlui criminal law in order that the law mUlit tall with Increased stringency lupon a par ticular portion ot the qiifcn'.i people. His position would be to insist upon having the fullest opportunity to examine the pro visions of the bill. Every Irish and every English member should have the fullest scope for presenting his views [ cheers ! and for scrutlni/lng the proposals ot the govern ment. Among its most Insulting and exasperating - asperating proposals the woist vor sub mitted to parliament was a provision that Irish trials bo hold In London , llo never know such a blow at the national fcelinc of Ireland. The goveinment could have ad vised nothing more likelv to aggravate every existing event. As to the permanent dur ation of this bill tliu proposals madu one's blood boll. To establish what was formerly only a temporary remedy as a peimanent rule of exlstanco of society in lieland would put the brand of Inlorioiity upon lieland forever , recognising as a iixed princi ple that force was the remedy. The lesson of many years shows that torco was no remedy. Since the election of IbVi , since the bulk of the llbeials had judged It both right aud safe to giant home rule , lieland had been free Irom crime and outrage a condl- tied Ion * unknown. Why was this ? Because the Irish people know a large , though In sufficiently large , body of legislators repre sented their interests aud would abide by them to the last. [ Cheers. J If the liberals acceded ! to the appeals of the government , the result would bo retrogression. The Irish people would return to the state of things which the liberal efforts alieady partly remedied. As long as Ireland con tinued lu her present course of moderation so lone would the liberals be bound to per severe In the ondea trors to assist her. The time would soon come when to the many now supporting the cause ot Ireland would be added many moio ; when deplorable proposals such as these of the government would no more be associated with the name of lieland. and when it would be seen that In doing what they could now to serve the Iilsli they were subserving the cause of the cmplio ot Great Britain. [ Prolonged cheering ] . Goschen taunted Gladstone with Ills alli ance with the National league , llo asked him how ho would continue to meet the league's constantly increasing demands until absolute separation should be com pleted. Even-body but the allies ot the league considered the state of Ireland Intolerable. COMMENTS ON THK spKKCH. Gladstone' * ) speech Is widely commented upon as an effective oxposuio of the feeble ness of the government's reasons for de manding coercion. The strength of his rea soning Is admitted by the conservatives and felt keenly bv the unionist-liberals , more of whom threatened to secede unless the co ercion bill bo reduced to simple provisions against boycotting and the plan of campaign. The conservatives already talk ot dropping the proposals relating to the transfer of jury trials , especially since the union papers in the provinces declare them un tenable. Gladstone renewed his defiance of the governments attempt to enforce cloture. The GladstonlaiiH ore confident they can delay the passage of the bill until May and in the meanwhile are hopeful that the evolu tion ot events will overthrow the wholn scheme. The whips on each side have for bidden members to bo absent during the holidays unless paired. The radical socle- ties throughout the country are passing reso lutions against the coercion bill , pronounc- Inc it Impolitic and unjust. The English radical press denounces the measure In lan guage of passionate Indignation. The Pall Mall Gazette says : "Such a measure Is sub jecting a nation , white skinned , Christian and civilized , to arbitrary intarforenco with its elementary liberties and rights. " Glad It IB Stringent. LONDON , March 29.

[ Special Telojram U ho Bin : . ] The vve.ik , vvnimed-ovor , second edition of the domociatlc city convention called for this afternoon succeeded In gel * ing down to business after two hours light- ng and squabbling in seating delegates , loforc the assembly It was known that none ol the gentlemen waited on by the sub com- nlttee would allow their names to be placed n nomination , When the committee was Inally called to order Francis A. Hodman , 'lesident Cleveland's appointee as appraiser ) f the peit of Chicago , was made chairman , . 'his gentleman lias for jeans been uu open rlend of the socialistic p.uty.

Tills was amended , making he number fifty , and the resolution was inally adopted after pandemonium had olgncd for half an hour. A motion to ad * ourn was then howled down. Fresh fuel was added to the flames by the attempt of i lelegato to read a resolution Indorsing tha administration of President Cleveland. 'Not by a d n sight , " shouted half u lundrcd. "Table that , or there will bo a ow , " howled a do/on. The report of an oidlnary cannon could not have been heard at that moment , for the uproar and howls vere plainly heard by people in the street cats. Finally the chairman secured a hearing ind declared the convention at an end. It is believed that HofTmaii , who Is a social- st , will name a committee that will decline o place a democratic ticket in the Held , or , n order to prevent the republicans Irom ro- calning power in the city , will boldly indorse ho socialists' ticket trom head to tall. The socialists are in high glee over the action of ho democrats. It is now plainly a light be tween the republican paitv aud aiiaichy. In connection with this there Is consider- ible slgnilicance in a rumor which was cur ont among the gie.it insurance agencies on .jaballo street today to the effect that a ccr aln New York insurance company had resolved solved to wllhdiavv their agents Irom Chicago and cancel all risks vviltton hero In case th < abor ticket should by any chance prove suc cessful. A prominent avent said he could lot aflirm or deny the toiiort , but he added ; 1 have no doubt that there aru Insuranci capitalists In Now York who feel veiy seri ous about Chicago business. They don't for. cettbat the anarchists made thtnus lively icro last May and they also remember that the labor party polled a big vote last fall , and low they learn that the worst clement ot the Icmocratlc party will vote for Nelson , while .tie better element will not have a candidate. All these things malic our Now York friends 'eel squeamish about Chlca.o risks. If Nil- son should bo elected mavor rates would double and leal estate would fall. " No such state of excitement , politically speaking has ever prevailed In Chicago. Tea a reporter this aftomoon a leader of what is termed the better clement of the democratic ity said that the case had nopaiallol. Ho loined with others In vigorously denouncing Harrison as the solo canso of the wreck ot , bo party and made a sensational statement to the etlect that the true cause of the Dual ieclinatlon was not g'cneiallv known , but was really this : Ccitaln members of the de mocracy had made a clean cut proposition ta Iho socialists tf > oust Nelson trom the head ol their ticket and substitute Harrison , thus In suring victory. It Is oven asseited that this proposition was accompanied by a mono ) offer of laige proportions , but It was i of used unconditionally. When this fart was mane k-n own to Harrison he saw defeat staring 111 in in the face and determined to abandon the democratic ticket regardless of the con dition into which ho plunged his paity. When the convention adjourned Chair man Hodman hurilcdly withdraw to a pri vate apartment , wliero ho called to his aid several prominent democrats. After a three hours' conference a committee of litty demo crats was selected to meet to-morrow evenIng - Ing and nominate a ticket. The list con * tallied the names of many of the most promi nent democratic business men in the city , but no element of the party is wholly ne glected. , ich of the three newspapers hav ing democratic leanings lias Its editor called to act as a member of the , committee. A FURIOUS FKNCIXG MATCH. The Champion ot America Rested Ry n Parisian. Nnw YORK , March 29. [ Special Telegram to the BKE. ] Fencing Master Kegls Scnac , who said of young Louis Tronchet when he came over fiom Paris recently tlmt he knew nothing about tenclng , found out last nlghl that ho made a big mistake about the young graduateof the Paris Fencing academy. The discovery was made in the Cosmopolitan hall , where Scnao encountered young Tronchet In n notable battle for tliu cham pionship of America and a stake of $1,000 , There was n big crowd of club men in th hall. Many ladles who fence at the New York Fencing club looked on from prlvaU boxes and the balcony , denac Is the tallei man nnd broader-chested than Tronchet , Maurice Bernhardt , the actress * pood-looklni son , was one of Tronehofs seconds. Tin conditions were two fifteen-minute assaults with foils , with five minutes Intermission , and then an assault of fifteen minutes with triangular duelling swords , alter ten minutes' lest. Trourhet soon won applause from club men and ladies. At the close ol next to the last assault both men had scored eleven points. The fighting In the deciding assault was so fierce that Kctneo Conrblslci had to use a swoid to defend himself as ha looked on , and once ho got acutacioss the back of his head tlmt drew blood. The men sprang at each other almost viciously , nnd when for a thud time Tronchot with a brill iant display ot art sent his adversary' ! weapon flying out of his hand , ho was evi dently enraged , and In another collision madn a wicked lunge straight down at the face , crouching Tronchet. Friends of Senno joined the partisans of Tronchet In dlsa- ) proving this. Tronchet got his revenge at once by a thrust at Senac's breast that bent his weapon double. It was the last thrust ot the match. "Monsieur Tionchct has won by three points. " exclaimed Kofcrce Courbisler , "and 1 proclaim him champion of America as well as of Pails.
