tion contest adjourned nt noon todny until
Friday , December 10. nt 10 n. m. Commenc
ing Monday , December 15 , n session will bo
lielJ In Ornnha , where testimony In rebuttal
\vlllbotiiUcn. Attorney Lamb , In speaking
of the matter , says ! "It Is nil rlsht for the
other fellows to Imvo a chance to present
their testimony It Is now no secret thnt wo
nro merely uttomptltiK to provo oilBnnl.ed
violence In Oiiuiha. Wo have witnesses who
will swear thcro was violence used In thirty-
flvo of the forty-one precincts In Omaha.
Thorn are many more witnesses wo could
produce , particularly clorlci , hut as It would
Imperil their business' Interests and not help
us any , wo will notnslc them to testing. "
Mr. Ilarwootl says In reunrd to the notice
nerved on lo\vers \ Hint testimony In rebuttal
Is to bo taken In Omulia on the lfith merely as
n precautionary measure. It will deter the
nttornoy for the Independents from claiming
that they havu been taltcn by surprise.
Mr. Powers declared today In conversation
that the notleo bad not been served on him
jet nnd ncted ns though ho deemed this
slight a vital oversight. Ills attorneys were
iiskod concerning the matter nnd they snid
that notlco had been served on them nud that
was nil that was necessary.
In conversation with your correspondent
3\Ir. \ Powers made the significant remark
that If Douglas ccnnty was thrown out ho
would bo governor 'In addition to this , "
ho added , * 'nll tbo otncr candidates on tbo in
dependent tii tet will bo elected. " This
probably explains the efforts inudo by Sir.
Powers' attorneys to show violence In every
precinct In Douglas county on election day.
The llrst witness examined today was
Thomas Niles of Weeping Water. Ho tcstl-
llcd that ho is nn Irishman and lias been In
this country four years. Ho Is clerk of the
quarry company at Weeping Water. A
jnrgo number of forelcners work for the
company. Several naturalization papers
wore received by witness before election.
VVltncss wus Interested In the imtl-prohlbi-
tlon cause nnd voted for Boyd.
Tlio workmen were absent from work long
enough to vote on election day. Ho dhln't
laiow how many of those naturalised voted ,
nor for whom they cast their ballots.
Allen Hartley of Omaha tcstilled that ho
was peddling republican tickets 'favoring tbo
ninenilmont. Kd Crowcll said to witness
that the tickets were bogus and nobody hut a
doff would peddle thorn. Witness Intimated
that Crowell was no gentleman for so talking.
Crowcll struek witness for this , and yet
Crowell was not nrrcstoJ. It appeared to
witness that the polieo wcro in sympathy
with Crowcll and his ( . onfrrrcs. Witness
was allowed to vote unmolested.
A. L. Dlckover , proprietor of the Hub
restaurant in Omaha , was examined. In his
opinion the public opinion in Omaha , preced
ing tbo late election , was almost unanimous
in opposition to the Independent ticket and to
the carne of prohibition. There was a de
cided hostility , the witness said to nil persons
unown to bo prohibitionists. "I was boy
cotted in my business on account of my pro
hibition principles. To the host of my
knowledge the number of my daily patrons
was reduced a hundred , more or less , during
the campaign ns the result of this boycott. "
The witness voted , costing his ballot for
Powers , without molestation , though ho was
nootcd by the crowd upon leaving the polls.
Ho didn't ' go hack to the polls , as ho con
sidered the vicinity of the voting place very
unsafe for a man advocating the principles
ho did. Ho did not consider that there was
n free election ia the First anl ( Second wards
in Omaha.
m cross-examination witness stated that
different clerks bad told him they were in
structed by their employers to boycott his
restaurant. Ho did not euro to give any
names , as ho did not wish the clerks dis
charged.
The most Interesting testimony presented
was that of Mr. John II. Powers , contestant
for tlio gubernatorial scat. The first thing
to whlcti ho testified was concerning a letter
received by him from the president of tbo
personal i-ight's league of Nebraska. The
letter , which was Identified by Mr. Powers ,
is us follows :

JOHN I ) . KLUIITSCII , Secretary , League.
Mr. Powers said that ho received this letter -
tor about a week after It was written , but
that ho never replied to It.
The question was then asked by Mr. . liar-
wood How did you vote on tbo prohibition
amendment !
After it moment's hesitation and a clanco
lit his attorneys , Mr.Powers replied : "I voted
for the amendment. "
On suDsoquont cross-questioning Mr. Pow
ers testified that In his speech in Omaha pre
ceding the election ho did not utter senti
ments opposing luo prohibition amendment.
Witness further testified that it was more
discreet to conceal than reveal his sentiments
nt that time concerning the amendment Be
fore making the speech witness had beer
cautioned to touch the prohibition amend
inent lightly , as it was a difficult question t <
linndla in Omaha
The session then adjourned for ono week.

THE APOlIO CONCKKT.
ItH I'remlov Itccltal nt the Grand
Opera House Ijast , Niglit ,
The Apollo club , the premier musical orga
nization of tbo city , gave its inaugural con
cert of the season last evening nt the Grand ,
under especially tavorablo circumstances.
The audience was largo nnd representative
In character. The devotees of music were
present lu largo numbers , wbtlo the leaders
of the social life of the city occupied the
boxes , and gavo' the club encouragement by
their presence throughout tbo largo audi
torium.
The programme was well selected , the
famous Mendelssohn quintette club of Boston
giving a musiclnnly Unco to the concert In
keeping with the past record of the leading
vocnl organisation of Omaha.
The presence of Mr. Ryan , the manager of
the Mendelssohn club. In bis place at the
bead ot the quintette , recalls ninny pleasant
memories. Probaoly no director of the present
ent generation has given to the world of
uiuslo so many famous artis > ts ns ho.
His whole lifo almost has been
devoted to the advancement of music , and
bis wprk , always couscientious and
thoroughly artistic has not failed of that
recognition which art demands , whether wo
see It on the stage , in the concert room or In
tlio studio.
Geiso , who has slnco become the leading
viollncclio'st ' of the east , was Introduced to
the American public by Mr. Ityaa. Now ho
is a tixturo in thu hearts of the ISostoninns in
which city ho enjoys a reputation in keeping
with his eminent ability.
Edward Hoindl , the flutcst , was another of
Mr. Hyan's discoveries , at present a member
of the Boston symphony orchestra under
Nicish. Aud his brother , too. vt.is u member
of the quartette club In the long ago , ono of
tlio best double bciss players in the country.
WolIIries , another light of the organization
in the years gone by , a masterly performer
on the violin , made his American ilobut
under the direction of Mr. Thomas Ryan.
Mr.Shultz , who died a few years ago , another
of the clover violinists Omaha lias hoard in
concert , and who pave brilliant promise of
occupying an cxnltod place In the musical
world , was another of Mr. ttyan's proteges.
Rlelsol , at present in Europe , and ono of the
very best viola players America bus had the
pleasure of listening to , was for several sea
sons a factor in the Mendelssohn club.
Sam Frauko and later his brother Nahan ,
whom the musical colony of tills city remem
ber very kindly wcro both members , of the
quintette which last night gave so delightful
u performance at the Grand.
'Die. opening number , "Quintette In U Hat
op. 87 , " by Mendelssohn , Inaugurated the
concert , and was followed by Miss Marj
Barnard in nn aria from "Cosl Fau Tuttl"
by Mosard , ono of the most charming
nrias written by that famous composer ,
Miss Barnard , a tall and exceedingly pretty
brunette , certainly not more than twenty-
thioo , is a pupil of Mine. Julio lioscwald ,
who Is called tbo .marches ! of tbo Pacific
co.ist , where Miss Human ! was born nnd educated -
ucated , ono of the daughtox-s of California
Though announced on the bills as a sopranc
bur volco is clearly mezzo in quality , hoi
opening selection being entiiely too low foi
any other but a mezzo-soprano.
Though suffering Just a llttlo from a coli
her rendition of the Aria was delightful , hei
method being easy and natural , adhering
closely to the German school ot which hei
toncherls a graduate. For an encore sh <
sang Carl Bourn's dainty conceit , "Still ii
the Night. "
Mr. Paul Jonmson , n pupil of Gciso's anc
destined to some day take high rnnlt will
that artist , gave n fan task * for violinocllo ot
"La Fillo du Regiment" by Servais. HI
playing is wonderfully effective , and althougl
the 'cello ' Is somehow or other not approcl
ated by Omaha people won nn tncoro ti
which 'lo rcspondea with "Tho Lake o
Como , " a dreamy , poetical composition beau
tifullv adapted for the 'cello.
The quartette , wlueh is nlways a feature o
Mr. Ryan's programme , played a solectloi
from Bcothoven very effectively and privet
the way for the Apollo club , the crucial tes
of the organization under tbo now director
Mr , L. A. Torrens ,
Much was expected from tbo club , and it I
n pleasure to state tnut they nuito Justlflci
all expectations. It was a bit daring on thi
part of Mr. Torrens to rest Its future succcs :
upon "The Nun of Nldaros. Opus 83 , " b ;
Dudley Buck. But tbo nnnlo showed hov
well ho appreciated the voices under hii
charge. Although they have had but fivi
live weeks' rehearsal , the selection was givei
with the utmost discrimination as toshntilni
nnd phrasing , two features wtdeh berotofon
have been .stumbling blocks in tbo pathwa ;
of the Apnllos.
Mr. Wllklns , to whom was given the teno
solo , was In excellent voice , nnd ho has no e

PARNELL FIGHTS W.TH A CROWBAR ,
Ho Issues Orders That All Persons
1)0 Treated Fairly In the Col
umns of the 1'aiier Wlmt
O'Urlon Says.
Dec. 11. The strueglo for the pos
session of United Ireland assumed a now
pbaso this morning , and again Purnell Is in
possession of the ofllco of the paper.
This morning Panioll , with the
assistance of a crowd of bis
suppoiters , forceJ open the doors and took
possession. Paruell himself was armed with
11 crowbar. Tlic police witnessed tbo affair ,
but did not interfere in any way ,
To guard ngaiast further attempts
of opponents to iceapturo the ofllco , the doors
nud windows were bolted and barred. When
the oluco was aecured against Intruders all
conversation with outsiders was carried on
through tbo keyhole. In the afternoon Par-
iiell left , for Cork.
iVfter the olllr-o had been taken Parnell ap
peared nt ono of the windows shouting that
lie would light the battle to the last and only
ullow the country to decide the issue and
that he would submit to thu dictation of no
man. lie appealed to bo llercely excited nud
to have lost his usual self-control.
Before Pnrnell made the attack on the
United Ireland ofllco ho procured two crow
bars. Handing ono of them to .lohn O'Con
nor , they proceeded to tbo door of the paper
and soon smashed It in.
Parnell has ordered that nil persons bo
treated fairly in tfio columns of the paper.
Parnell left this afternoon for Cork. At
Naas ho received an address from the local
branch of the National league. AtfMouns-
teravun there was an auti-Pnrnoll demon
stration when the train arrived , a priest
loading the procession and cheering for
O'Brien. At Mallow tbo majority of the
crowd hooted nud Jeered , only a few cheers
being raised for Parncll. At Cork an immense -
monso crowd gathered and Parnoll was re
ceived with nn outburst of enthusiasm. Ho
has been invited to visit Limerick.
Before the train left Mallow the crowd be
came very violent and inudo repeated at
tempts to enter Parnell's ' carriage. Tho.mob
nourished sticks in Iho air and shouted , .
"Down with the blackguard 1" Down with
the libertine 1" and similar cries.
Whnt O'Urleii Says.
Nisw YOKK , Dee. 11.-In conversation with
a representative of the Associated press re
garding the United Ireland incident , William
O'Brien , editor of that paper , said tlio dis
patches stated that tbo edition which Parnoll
attempted to suppress by force was to con
tain a bitter attack upon him. O'Brien can
not believe this , ns when the controversy
arose ho cabled instructions to the manager
tnat if tbo mrty decided In favor of Paruoll
to hand over the paper to his authorized
ugcnt , nnd if tlio decision was fuvorablo to
support the party's views moderately and
see without full that nothing personally of
fensive to Parnell should appear. Ho re
ceived a reply that these instructions would
bo obeved. Itofcrring to the statement that
Parnell acted in virtue of his authority as
director of the company and that ho owns a
majority of the stock , O'Brien sold thoshares
which stand nominally in Parnoll's name nro
less than half the capital of the company.
Parncll ceased to bo a director five years ago
for the express purpose of guarding himself
from pecuniary or criminal responsibility for
the paper , the wisdom of which cours > o wns
concurred in by O'Brien and others. These
who forcibly took possession of the United
Ireland ofllco had not a shadow of legal
authority. As to last nicht's recapture from
the Parnellltes , O'Brien could only surmise
that some kind people of Dublin who had Tiot <
forgotten the record of the paper allowed
their natural feelings to outrun their for
bearance.
.4. I.OXG 3HS1FJESTO.
Another Adtlreis Issued by the Irish
Envoys in America.
Niw : YOUK , Doc. 11. The Irish envoys
now la this city issued a long manifesto to
night. They say that when they reached this
country six weeks ago the Irish cause was
marching to certain victory. It was conceded
on both sides that a general election must
bring a homo rule majority. Tho-dlssolution
of parliament could not" bo deferred beyopd
two years and would probably take place
within twelve months. All necessary to se
cure tiiuniph was that the delegates should
raise the necessary funds to preserve the
evicted tenants from destruction and keep
their organization unorusbed , so as to force
the eoerrifjn government to face a general
election in tbo snmo condition of abject
failure , which the gallantry of the Irish ten
antry had kept it in throughout flvo years of
Incessant contlict with coercion. In less than
two weeks they had secured nearly $100,000 ,
and it was certain that a sufUcicnt sum
would bo subscribed to put an end to the last
hope of the eocreionlsts.
The manifesto then refers to the change In
the situation , and speaking of Parnell's
charges , says in parts "Hints of treachery
on the part of British statesmen have not
lost their power over a people only too well
arcustomeu to the tradition of British un
faithfulness by their unhappy history. It is
easy to understand the influence upon our
warm-hearted colleagues and fellow-conntry-
inon of appeals to feollngs such ns these ,
urged with all the authority of Parnell's
narno and with all the ncxterity and magnetic
power of which he is master. Wo ourselves ,
though far removed from the conflict ,
have had to put out personal predilictlons to
an almost intolerable strain in endeavoring
to separata our attachment to an unrivalled
Irish leader from our absolute and over
whelming conviction that to indulge our per
sonal loyalty to him one moment longer
would be to Inour certain loss of the general
election and mnko ourselves responsible for
the appalling legacy of disappointed hopes ,
which the iuovltanlo triumph of coercion at
tno ] Klls would entail upon our unhappy
people. "
The signers say that every private and
public utterance of their lives attests the
sincerity of their nllegianco to Paruell , and
the wildest partisans suspect them of a dcbiiii
to overthrow his leadership without terrific
cause nt u moment when u few months more
of united action whuld have brought them tc
victory and when nny prolonged period ol
dissension must Involve the certain loss ol
the tremendous Interests at stake.
In general the signers seek to impress upon
their countrymen the deep conviction that
Parnell's deplorable Imputations of mutiny
on the part of Ills colleagues unii
treachery on the part of Gladstone arc
absolutely baseless and unreal side issues
raised to divert the Judgment of impulsive
Irishmen from tha real issue , which IE

election under Parnell's leadership , and II
tlio loss of the general election Is the cortitii :

Gladstone gone , his party estranged from the
Irish loadnr and the whole Dritish people
angered by the deplorable insults to thelt
loaders and rendered suspicious by still more
deplorable hints of the insincerity of all out
professions of friendship , the certainty of t
disastrous general election Pnrnoll canno' '
dispute. The horrible consequences tlial
ensue in Iiolund ho can only pretend to dis
' " f vague speculations as to f uturo par
liamentary strategy. With the Irish peopli
nlono the determination must ros

GliulHtono SpcakH Against I'iirnoll.
LoNuoy , Dec. 11. Gladstone arrived today
ntKetford depot and addressed a. meeting of
2,000 persons , lib said the continuance of
Parucll In the leadership would bo fatal to
homo rule in England , Scotland and
AValos. Parncll was no longer leader
of the .Irish nationalists , who had
separated themselves from him. lie ( Glad
stone ) admitted the Irish party ought to bo
independent and that the consideration nnd
settlement of this question oueht to bo left to
them , but there was something behind all
considerations hi Irish politics , namely , the
great cause of liberalism in England , Ireland
and Scotland.
Ho believed that the O'Shea divorce pro
ceedings would entirely destroy the moral
force needed in Ireland for any one who
would bo the lendluK champion of the national
causo. The liberals wcro unwilling , after
what had happened In the divorce court , to
make Parucll the constitutional governor of
Ireland.
Gladstone subsequently addressed an audi-
euco of 5,000 persons \Vorksop , pointing
out the importance of continuing the strug
gle for Ireland , declaring that legislation for
England could not bo obtained until the coun
try had got rid of the homo rule question.

A liiberiiMfnlontat Manifesto.
LONDON , Deo. ll The executive commit
tee of the Liberal-Unionist association , has
ssucd a long manifesto , from which the fol-
owing are extracts : "Pnrnell and the Par-
icllltos have always bqen an untrustworthy
body , upon whose pledges no reliance could
bo placed , and whose parliamentary anteced
ents made them unflt nnd unsafe allies for
any great party. No distinction can bo made
between Pnrnollltes and nntis. The latter
condoned his delinquencies nnd accepted his
policy , and now sacrifice him as a means of
extorting fresh terms from their allies. The
mistake British homo rulers made was in al
lowing themselves to bo convinced that
cither the methods or the objects of the Irish
revolutionaries had changed. Neither fac
tion will over accept homo rule without
mental reservation for absolute separation
and complete Irish indopcudenco. "
