Was adopted not to .accept the Clancy com

ItiK , but to force matters to a decisive issue
forthwith ,
A Stormy
LOXDOX , Dec. 4. At the opening of the
meeting today Sexton denied that ho bad
over proposed that Parnell rotlro from public
life , and said ho only meant that ho should
rotlro from the chairmanship of the party.
Parnell then proceeded to deal at length
with the Clancy proposal. Ho decided that
ho would not bind himself to retire until ho
could see Olads'tono's reply. His proposition
had been granted him not merely as a loader
of the party , but the leader of the nation.
This hud been derived from circumstances in
which , speaking with the greatest respect ,
his hearer had no share. After speaking
of his services In assimilating nnd
soothing the prejudices of the discordant ele
ments of the Irish throughout the world.
Pnrnoll said : "You know and I know that
there Is no man living , if I am gone , who
could succeed in reconciling the feelings of
Irish .people to the Hawardcn proposals. As
you wish to withdraw from mo this responsi
bility , I think It only reasonable that , you
should give Judgment on these matters for
the bencllt of your constituents. Therefore ,
I submit this * resolution , that the party ac
cept no homo rule bill unless It gives imme
diate control of the pollco and the power to
deal with land. Mr. Gladstone Is capable o !
working to secure a majority at tbo elections
which will render him Independent of both
the Irish and conservative parties. If you
throw mo over for him cot my valu < :
by securing a pledge of a satisfactory home
rule bill. " Ho was willing to do bis' best tc
reconcile the prejudices of the Irish people in
regard to the control of the pollco in tbo bill
of IS30. "And Gladstone knows , " ho con
tinued , "that In striking mo down ho strikes
down the only man that could make that
measure acceptable to Ireland. Was I tc
keep the Hawardon seal on my mouth whnr
Gladstone himself put it out of my power tc
remain longer sllontl" In conclusion Pnrnoi ;
made references to what ho termed Glad
stono's ambiguity , nnd said : "Ihavo bat
many dealings with him , but never got r
straight answer. " If his ( Parnell's ) rcsolu
tlons wcro accepted and the liberal rcpltc !
wuro satisfactory ho would place himself Ir
their hands.
Ho only expressed amazement at Parnell't
speech nnd protested against adding now con
ditions to the Clancy resolution. Parnell , h <
said , wanted to withdraw th'o question o :
leadership and substitute a discussion o :
home rulo. They could get neither stralgh'
conduct nor straight answers from him.
Parnell replied that ho had given bis nn
swer. Ho regretted that it was not con
sidcrcd straight , but by It ho would staud o :
fall.

use of further discussion ]
A tremendous uproar followed. Lcami
shouted , "Away with him. " John O'Conno :
yelled , "Crucify him , " and n scene of will
disorder ensued. When quiet was finally re
stored Hcaloy said that nothing could changi
his determination to tloposo Par
noil. The latter was no grcate :
than the majority of the party
yet ho talked of defying it. Healy bollovci
there would bo enough statesmanship loft ii
the benighted majority who opposed Pnrnoi
to take a course as statesmauilko as that o
18SO. Then Healy read portions of Parnolt'i
speech delivered at his birthday banquet sh
months after the Hawarden Interview , do
daring the independence of the Irish part ;
and eulogizing the nllianco with Gladstone.
An angry duel of words followed , Heali
repeating Parncll's recent remarks abou
Gladstone , and finished by asking : "Whi
broke the alliance)11 )
Party and Nolan both exclaimed Tin

Healy retorted : "It perished from thi
stench of the divorce court. "
Parnoll replica that If 'tho Gladstone lotto
bud not been written the alliance would bavi
been maintained.
Healy defended Gladstone. Ho said thn
Paruoll bespattered that gentleman's gra <
hairs with mud and now wanted the Irlsi
members , hat in hand , to go nnd ask Olnd
stone for terms. If Parnell 'succumbei
ho was only ono man gone. The heads o
greater leaders had been stricken off at tb
block before now for Ireland , but the Irisl
cause remained.
Sexton said ho had listened to Healy will
regret. Would Parnell resign if the majorit ;
voted for the acceptance of Gladstone's pro
posalsl
Parnell Certainly.
Barry asked for a further explanation am
Parnell vehemently replied : "I have state
with distinctness that , I will not give
further answer. "
At 0 p. m. tno meeting adjourned until nee
tomorrow.
A rumor was circulated this afternoon t
the effect that Clancy's amendment had bee
rejected. Inquiry proved that there was n
truth In the rumor. On the contrary , th
latest phnso of the situation bids fair for a
agreement , a committee having boon ar.

LONDON , Dec. 4. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tun BEH. " ! Pnrnoll is
playing out his game on the lines Indicated
yesterday , forclntf Gladstone's hand nnd com
mitting the Irish party to declarations of the
party which cannot bo-accepted - by English
homo rulers. It was res 61vcd this evening to
form n commlttceof which Parnell is a mem
ber , opening negotiations with Gladstone by
letter which has already boon wrlttea nnd
sent. It asked whether he will agree to hand
over tbo Irish constabulary and the settle
ment of tbo land qunstlon to a homo rule par
liament wbcn established , or undertake to
deal with tbo Agrarian dldlculty himself In
his own scheme but surrender the constabu
lary to the Irish parlUmpnt * , If ho consents
to these terms Parnell givps a kind of condi
tional undertaking to retire from the leader
ship for tlio present. Ho can safely make
this offer , for if Gladstone gives up the con-
btabulnry a largo section , of the English sup
porters will raise a , great outcry , nnd what
ho gains by temporarily deposing Parnell
will bo moro than } est in nnother direction.
Parnell will bo In a position to boast that he
has proved his sincerity and can go before
the Irish > oplo us tno only man who has
adcquatciyjdotended their cause. In any case
ho has nothing to sacrlllco by the result.

WASHINGTON Dec ! . In tbo senate today
inong the bills introduced anil referred was
me for a permanent tariff commission nnd
mo for the free nnd unlimited use of silver
iionoy , The latter bill was Introduced by
stownrt.
The Joint resolution reported yostordny to
sstio arms to the states of North nnd South
Dakota and Nebraska was taken up.
Mr. Huwloy sild that If any-
hlng was to bo done in the
nater It should bo done quickly. lie
hoped , if possible , that any elaborate
discussion of the Indian question should bo
lostponcd.
Mr. Voorhces said ho did not want to delay
lassago of the Joint resolution , but after
what had transpired ycstorduy ho thought It
duo not only to himself but to General Miles
nnd to the country to submit some matter
had since come to his hand. It
, vas an interview with ex-Governor
Foster of Ohio In which ho said the Sioux
ndlnns wcro starving. Give them plenty to
! 8t and there would be no further trouble.
Mr. Voorhees said that ex-Oovornor Foster
ivas a man of great experience , and the state-
nent Justified what ho ( Voorhees ) had said
resterday.
Mr. Dawcs replied that Governor Foster
ivas not so well acquainted with thocondltion
of things nmong the Sioux as men who lived
motig them nndhad charge of them. Ho
di'd that the public mind had been per
verted by newspaper men out In the Indian
country. Ho sometimes thought there were
more newspaper men there than soldiers.
Ono who read the newspapers every morning
would think a conflagration was about to
sweep along the Indian boarders. In answci
to certain inquiries by Mr. Blair , Mr. Uawea
said that Sitting Bull is the most pious hypo-
crlto in this country , ana that Is saying : a
good donl.
Mr. Hcapnn said ho assumed that If there
ivas any great danger of an outbreak some
communication would have been inndo from
ho excctU'o department.
Mr. Allison spoke In the same vein. He
ook IHtlo stock In the suggestion that the
trouble was caused by starvation.
Mr. Voorhces interpreted Mr. Allison's re-
narks ns a contrdlctlon of cx-Govcrnoi
Foster's statements and said tuo latter gen-
lloinun was the peer of any man In public
ilfo. Ho would accept Foster's statement in
preference to that of Mj\ Allison , who was
necessarily Ignorant of the question.
Mr. Dawos remarked that Foster got his
nformation regarding the Sioux a year ago ,
since which time ho had not been near them ,
Mr. Voorhees read some further extract'
from the Foster interview , nnd then , refer-
rinjj to Mr. Dawcs' criticism of the newspapers -
papers , said that to every newspaper man
, vho has thrown a single ray of light on tbl
Miserable business ho returned bcartfell
thanks. The newspapers may get things
wrong some times , but In the great volume ol
what they do they contribute to the light am !
knowledge of the world und to the cause o :
Justice.
After further debate the Joint resolutlo :
WAS amended HO as to apply to tlio states o
North nnd South Dakota , "Wyoming nui
Nebraska and passed.
Mr. Morgan introduced n Jolng resolution ,
which went over until tomorrow , appropriat
ing S.1,000 for an Investigation under orders
of the senate ns to the causes of the troubli
among thu Indians.
The election bill was then taken up nnc
Mr. Pugh addressed the senate In opposltlor
to it. The bill , ho said , was never intendot
to bo put In operation In republican districts
It was founded on ono proposition , and tha
was that state election oftlccn might b <
watched , guarded and overruled bccausi
they were democrats , The whole conception
Of the bill was n transparent and audaclou-
scheme , having no other end or purpose thai
the capture of democratic districts uud thcil
transfer to the republican party In congress
to bo used lu perpetrating Its supremacy h
defiance ot the will of the people.
Mr. Gray obtained the lloor , but as ho dli
not dcslro to speak this afternoon Mr. Blah
moved to lay the election bill aside until to
morrow and take up the displaced labor bill
Mr. Hoar gave notice that alter today In
would try to press the election bill wlthou' '
having It laid aside for any other purpost
whatever until a ilnal vote was reached. .
Mr. Cockroll objected to the labor bill bein ;
taken up , and after a number of bills on thi
calendar were passed the senate adjourned.

Dee. 4. In the houst tht ;
morning the unfinished business was a bit
for the punishment of every guardian , con
scrvntor , curator , tutor or other judlciarj
agent for the embezzlement of the pension !
of a ward. Tbo previous question was ogrcei
tojmd the bill passed.
The house went Into committee of the
Whole on tbo pension npproprlatloa bill.
Mr. Morro v explained that the bill appro
prlated for the pavmcnt of pensions $ I1H,1TI ! ) ,
000 to bo distributed among 051,718 pension
ors. This was the largest number of bone
llclarles over provided in any single Item h
the statutes of the United states. It was es
timated that the gross cost to the Unitei
States of these pensions for the year 18l ! !
would nverago 8-03,40 each. Ho bollovci
there would bo no dcflcionny next year.
Mr. Cooper of Indiana got the floor , reviewed
viewed nil of the charges made against Com
misslonerof Pensions Hauin which formei
the basis of investigation at the last session
and assorted that they had all been proved
The ponsljti bureau should be presided ovci
by a man above criticism nnd above reproach
During the last campaign the commlsslonc
had gone to Indiana nnd had invaded hi
( Cooper's ) district. The commissioner's oul ;
excuse was that ho might defeat Cooper'
election. Tbo commissioner had gone to lu
dlnna to prostitute Ids high ofllco for partlsai
ends. lie ( Cooper ) had great veneration fo
the nenslau bureau and protested that tli
institution should not become a spawnln
place for corporations or a stall for the sal
of patent rights , nor should It bo preside
over by n moribund and malodorous poll
ticlan , likened by a republican paper to n ba
egg.
egg.Mr. . Sawyer of Now York was surprise
that Cooper should make his speech at thi
time before the case closed. Air. Cooper ha
saiu the committee had abandoned any fin
thor Investigation , but it had boon the clcn
understanding that the committee shoul
hear further testimony this session. Mi
Sawyer further denied that the charge
against Knum hits been proved.
After further debate the committee ros

> noof fraternal greetings nnd Introductions.
General John II. Ktcnof Ivatnas is drawing
ip a call to tbo farmers' alliance nnd luiUa
rial unions of Now York which will favor
ho principles of the St. Louis platform , to
nect in Cincinnati February 23 , to consider
he formation of n third party movement.
At the afternoon session n delegation rcp-
esentlng the citizens' alliance of Kansas was
ntroduced by Colonel Livingston of Georgia
mil all made addrosscs , the sumtmico of
vhlch were that their organization was
leeply Interested In the success of the fann
ers' movement ; that both bodies
vcro practically working oa the same
Ino nnd they saw no reason why
ncrehnnts , tr.ulors , druggists , etc. , should
ot unite in promoting this novoment. They
isked for a committee of conference to ar
range for closer relations between the cltl-
cns' nlllanco and the national alliance. The
emiost was "granted and a committee np-
lofnted.
Delegates from the Now York worklng- :
ncn's reform league "und nnti-monopolv
enguo addressed the convention , say-
tig , among other things , that mechanics
mil laborers in cities were as much
Icnundent iipon the Industrial condition of
ho country ns the farmers wcro nnd should
> o eligible to membership in the nllianco.
Colonel Livingstone In reply said they
vould best keep their own scp.irato organiza
tion , ns at present , but should fraternize
nore closely and confer moro frequently
.jpon measures of putillo policy. Ho recom
mends co-operation and fraternity with other
intionnl bodies , but not consolidation.
In an Interview with an Associated press
cprescntativo this afternoon Delegate Davis
said the call for a national conference to bo
icld February 'J3 next , with a view of form-
nit a now party , had boon drawn up. It
endorses the alliance platform adopted
it St. Louis and Invites nil organ-
zatlons in sympathy to s > cnd dele
gates to Cincinnati. It lays down
tour propositions with rofu'roiico to
latlonnl reforms finance , transportation ,
and nnd labor. Further than this Its con
tents bavo not been mndo public yet. Davis
thought the convention would undoubtciily
result in placing n presidential ticket lu tbo
leld in Ib'JJ. The call will not bo presented
to the national alliance , but bo circulated for
signatures in thirty-six nlllanco .status and
.icrhnps In nil tbo states of the union.
There Is considerable indignation among
correspondents over the failure of the press
committee , which was to give oul Informa
tion , to perform Its duty. A vigorous pro
test was made to President I'olk today. The
policy of thu alliance seems to bo one of the
strictest secrecy.
At this evening's session .T. A , Plckler ,
congressman-elect from South Dakota , spoke
on the sub-treasury bill. Ho said It was tbo
keynote of the financial condition of the coun
try , Iii -the futiire. Ho advocated the frep
coinage of silver and regarded ttio transporta
tion problem of tlio greatest importances.
Tbo national colored alliance this afternoon
discussed n resolution condemning the wliito
nlllanco In passing a resolution yesterday in
opposition to the fcdcr.il elections bill be
cause such action has no rofcrenca
whulevcr to the alms nnd pur
poses of tlio organization. The opinions
expressed wcro not so much in favor
of federal control of elections as in condem
nation for going out of Its way to meddle in
politics. The resolutions will probably bo
passed.
A resolution was adopted condomlng the
lard bill and praying for the passage of the
Padclonk pure food bill.
At the open session of the national nllianco
the delegates of tha colored alliance were re
ceived and several speeches were mailo , all
Indicating the leaning of the colored nllunco
toward a now political party ,
Lecturer Trncoy of the white nllianco In
'
his speech said po'intodly : "Before wo leave
this place wo must establish a political fed
eration with the colored farmers' ' alliance. I
mean business. There must bo no foolish
ness about It. "

tlon for governor mid other state olllccs , It
was bej un by the nlllanco candidate. ) against
the democratic governor-elect and the repub
licans-elect for tlio other executive olllccs.
The grounds alleged for the contest are that
the election in Omaha was fraudulent , that
voters wcro tlrivcn from the polls ami that n >
general stuto of outlawry existed on clco-
day. Seine ether irregularities tire also al
leged In ether parts of the state , but the
chief point oil which the contest Is being con
ducted Is the alleged condition of alt a Ira In
Omaha.
The Jlrst hearing In the contest was begun
this morning In n vncnnt store bnlhllngon
Tqntli street near O. The morning session
resulted In no progress , the lawyers objectIng -
Ing to the arranpcmoiitsvtilch had been
nuulo for taking tbo testimony. Tins dis
pute , however , was settled during the noon
recess and at 'J p. in. the real business of tha
contest begun.
In order to facilitate matters It was decided
to take testimony for the governorship mid
the other statoofllco contests separately and
at the same time. Accordingly taolos were
drawn upon oppositesldos of the room nud
tha examination of witnesses begun.
The room was crowded to suffocation. No
cluirs had been provided for spectators and
an n consequence everybody crowded around
the tables wlicro tlio examinations wcro being
onductcd. The governorship aide of the
oem proved the creator attraction , although
10 oilier contest had n good big following.
John H. Powers , the nlllanco candidate for
overnor who Is contesting the election of
nines E. Hoyd , occupied a chair In a corner
f the room and sccmucl the least concerned
f all until the testimony commenced. Then
o put bis spectacles on , pulled out a bunch
f p.ipcr and n pencil and hitched his chair a
itlle nearer the witness box. As the testi
mony continued ho gradually edged
up nearer the witness , and finally
.cutcd himself nt the side of the reporters.
Then bo pulled off his glasses , rolled up Ilia
apor and devoted himself to listening. Oc
casionally he rested his head In bis hands ,
Mien stroked his Iron gray whiskers , and no\v
in then scratched his head. He appeared a
ittlo tired mid bored.
James K. Boyd , his opponent , failed to put
it tin appearance , but ucurly all of the ropub-
Icin conteatcrs wcro on hand.
In the crowds wound the tables thorn ap

the proceedings in the governorship ease had
to bo temporarily abandoned. The uproar
was too confusing for lawyers , witnesses ,
lotarics and reporters.
The time set for commencing the work
was 0 o'clock , but owing to the multl-
ilieity of interests presented and the tardi-
less of tlio witnesses , the taking of testimony
ivas delayed.
The Independents announced themselves
reaily at an early hour , but the fact that
many of the notaries wora relatives or em
ployes for the independents , created consid
erable dissatisfaction among the executive
ofllccrs elected , nnd they declared that they
must have notaries of their own selection as
well.

Selections wcro finally inado nnd during
the Interim the republican executives-elect
retired to a room to got themselves in battle

At 11 o'clock the announcement was mndo
that everything was ready anil the shoal of
notaries nnd reporters present gathered
about the tables ready for tlio onset. But
it did not come. The matter of notaries had
not yet been settled.
The republican oxccutlves-clcct expressed
the wish of having one stenographer and ono
notary on each side take all the testimony fet
all the executive ofllcers-elcct outside of gov
ernor , and that the testimony regarding the
contest for governor bo treated separately.
The attorneys for thu Indeiiciidonts did not
take kindly to this pronosltlonas they wished
It to bon game of ono out all out.
The attorneys for the republicans Insisted
on a division of tbo contest , and urtor consld *
crablo wrangling the counsel for the inde
pendents gave in. Stipulations were then
drawn up , and pending their preparation n
adjournment was taken untili ! o'clock.
At that hour an agreement was reached
nearly on the plan suggested by the repub
licans and the following stipulations wcro
signed by the attorneys on both Aides :
