Action on tho Retirement of the Irish Leader Again Postponed. London, Dea 4. Tho Nationalist mem bers of the houc of commons met again at noon today to further consider the ques tion of Mr. Parnell's leadership. All the Irish members at present in Loudon were in a.tpjt dance at the meeting, .ur. I'ar nli npnnipfJ tlm rh.iir. After the meet ing had been called to order, one of the members read the manifesto issued yes - tcrday by tne uatnonc nierarciiy m j in land, declaring that in consequence of the revelations of the O'Shea divorce case, which convict Mr. Parnell of the gravest offenes known to religion and society, Catholic Ireland cannot accept as a leader a man wholly dishonored, and that the continuance of his leadership would im peril the cauf-e of Ireland. The reading of the manifesto was greeted with cheering by Mr. Parnell's opponents. Mr. Clnncy then offered his amendment, which provided that, in view of the differ ence of opinion between Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Parnell as to the accuracy of the latter's recollection of the suggestions mHde to him by Mr. Gladstone at the Hawarden meeting, a year ago, the party be instructed to obtain from Mr. Glad stone, Mr. Morley and Sir William Vernon Harcourt, before any further considera tion of the main question, information on thedoparturefrom tho bill of lgSti, made by Mr. Gladstone in bis suggestions affect ing the control of the Irish constabulary and the settlement of the land question. A prolonged debate took place on the amendment. Mr. Parnell intimated that if the party took the responsibility off his shoulders, and would insist upon the Liberal leaders Tiramifrinc; tocarrva new Home Pule bill through the house of commons in the face of all opposition, he would retire from the leadership. He asked the meeting to ac cept Mr. Clancy's lesolution, aud there upon, he said, the alliance between the Nationalists and Liberals would be re newed. Mr. Healv refused to submit to Mr. Par nell's stipulations. He declared that they wore even beyond the lines of the compro mise suggested af yesterday's meeting. Mr. Sexton declared that the majority of the members were lirnily determined to adhere to the main question, and would simply vote that Mr. Parnell must resign. After remaining in session till 5:45 p. m. the meeting adjourned. It will reassem ble at noon tomorrow. DETAILS OF TIIE MINTING. At the opening of the Natioualist meet ing today Air. Paruell acceded to Air. Sex ton's request. Air. Sexton said that he only meant that he should letire from the chairmanship of tho Irish party. Air. Parnell then proceeded to deal with the Clancy proposal. He commenced by an nouncing that after consulting with his friends, he had decided thit lie could not retire until lie could see AL-. Gladstone's reply. Air. Parnell continued: "ou know, aud I know, there is no man living, if I am gone, who could succeed iu reconciling the Irish to the Hawarden pro posals. Cheei-B. As you wish to with draw from me this lesronsibility, I think it only reasonable that you sL-ould give judgment on these matters for the benfit of your constituents. Therefore, 1 suuniit the resolution, that tho party accept no borne rule bill unless it gives immediate control of the police and power to d.i.il wit h l'tnd. "My word has been grievously cliKllenged with regard to the accuracy of my account ot the Ilawaideii interview, but no attempt has been made to prove its inaccutacv. It is lor you to act in this matter. You are dealing w itli a man who is an unrivalled sophist." He added that lie was quite willing to resign, but wanted them to fully understand tho responsi bility. If his resolution was accepted and the Liberal reports were .satisfactoiy, ho A'ould place himself in their hands. Air. Parnell having suggested the ap pointment of a committee. Air. Healy ex orcised amazement at Air. PamelTs ex traordinary speech, nnd in a heated altercation with the chair, protested against theadding ot new conditions to tho Clancy nmeiidmeir. Air. Parnell, ho said, wanted to withdraw the question of the leadership, and substitute for it n discus sion on home rule. Did he think they rteio children'-' Thay could get neither m might conduct nor straight answers lioin him. Air. Parnell replied that he bad given his answer. He regretted that it was not con sidered straight, but by it he would stand or fall. Air. Healy Then you w ill fall. What is the use of luither discussion' A tremend ous uproar followed. Loamy shouted, "Away with him." .lohn O'Connor jelled, "Crucify him" aud aj-ceueof wild disorder ensued. When quiet was finally restored. Air. Healy, leMiming, said, nothing could change his determination to depose Par nell. Proceeding to discuss tho circum stances of the ls5 bill, Air. Healy declaied tliMt they could not do moro now than tl en. Mr. Parnell interposed: "You am M'cuic the ground now if you like and have tho courage." Cheers I Air. 1 lowly Yes, with millions of men and artillery, but without, we have no other alternative than iu l.ssii to accept hlieral nroposHls. or smash the cabinet. Air.

Healy commenced to read Parnell speech iiklneivd at the birthdav lianquet, given at the Wivtnihister jjalaoe, six months after the Hawarden interview) declaring the independence of the Irish party, and eulogising the alliance with Gladstone. "Would not Parnell cheer that?" asked Air. HoMly. Mr. Parnell Ye, overv word of it. Angry, bitter words followed. Air. Healy lcpentiiig Air. Parnell's recent remarks alout Air. Gladstone's gairnloUMiess. Ho finished by asking: "Who broke the alli ance?" Air. Parnell and Air. Noltin both The Gladstone letter. Air. Healy retorted: "It proceeded from tho stench "of the divorce suit.' Loud i beers. .Mr. Parnell I believe that if the Glad stone lrtter hud not beeu written, the alli ance would have been maintained.

Parnoll vehemeutly replied: "I havo stated with distinctness that I will not give a further answer. Air. Burry repeated that he wa not snt isllod on tlie question of the committee. Stxton and Healy preferred to withdraw, on the ground that they had taken a contin nous part In the debate but their objec tions were overruled. SALISBURY TALES. TheiTory Obief Discusses the Gladstone Parnell Quarrel. LONDON, Doc. 4. Lord Salisbury, in his speech at Vaterfoot, Lancashire. Inst nigkt, seked what right Alevrs. Hoaly and Sexton aud others, who werw trying to Hound Mr.Pnrmdl to earth, had topos as apsUs of domestic purity. First they LaoK&d Parnell, then the Seventh com- mandment, changing from one horse to another with as much indifference and cynicism as a man hedging on a race coarse changes when lie knows something detrimental to his favorite. "If," said Lord Salisbury, "the enthusi asm of the Healvites is disinterested, it is worthy of the highest applause; but if it is merely u screen for political maneuvers, it is worthy of the deepest condemnation." Lord Salisbury proceeded to denounce the Gladstonians for offering the chief secretaryship for Ireland to Parnell while the foulest things were alleged of him and Capt. O'Slica's action for divorce was pending. He made sarcastic references to Air. Gladstone's recollection of his inter view with Mr. Parnell at Hawarden, in November last, and recalled the differences between Lord Carnaeervon and Mr. Parnell as to .vhat occurred between them at their confidential interview some years ago. He said no Liberal then thought if a scau dal to believe Mr Parncll's.statements, and why should they think so now? Mr. Gladstone's denial did not amount to much. It was due largely to the brilliant hues of his own imagination, and ought to be received with a" certain amount of judicious -iticism. Keferrn to the proposals in reeard to Irish affau a, then made by Mr. Gladstone, as divulged by Mr. Parnell, Lord Salis bury declared that Upland question would be a subordinate one if an Irish parliament had control of the police; because the con trol of the police included the control of all legislation in regard to property. Mr. Gladstone's proposals bis lordship assert- I cd, were ingenuous and he was suri 1 that Parnell's virtue had compelled h Hiis suiJiiaci 1111 to reftipe them. Had thev been carried into effect, every landlord in Ireland would have concluded that it would be a very advantageous baigain to sell his land at one-tenth of its present value. LCheers and laughter. Declaring that if parliament ever recon sidered its constitution, the lirst question discussed would be the excessive represen tation of Ireland, Lord Salisbury at great length, showed the objections to al low ing self-governed Ireland to send thirty-two members to interfere in Eng lish politics especially after the revela tions made recently touching the kind of men Irish representatives are, and remind ed his audience that when the English government was defeated, it was always by a majority under thirty-two. His lord ship dilated upon tho folly of entru&tiug the government of Ireland with such men. Mr. Gladstone, he said, proposed to with hold land legislation. How long does ho suppose that would be possible? An Irish parliament would refuse supplies, and then what would he do? Dwelling upon what he called the policy of "double-shuffle," Lord Salisbury de clared that the disgusting details of tho O'Hiea divorce case were not the real cause of the antagonism between the pow erful furies now ranged against each other. Mr. Gladstone was bent uoou the impossible enterpri.se of uniting the English Liberal, who is dead against sepa ration, and the Irish Nationalist, who wires for nothing else. He only succeeded while things were quiet by artilice aud tho use of ambiguous language. "I care not," said his lordship, "whether Parnell wins or not It may be a weak ness of human nature; but perhaps I prefer a man fighting desperately for his lite to a crew whom he has made, and who are now against him. Hut I am sure that we now face realities. It is no longer possible by dark outlines of policy to effect an im possible coalition." THE IRISH FAMINE. London, Dec. 4. In the house of com mons today, Mr. Balfour made a motion that parliament vote 5,000 for the purpose of providing seed potatoes for the dis tressed land cultivators in Ireland. Tho seed potatoes Mr. Balfour said, were not to be given to the people gratis, but as a loan, and any one paying ready money would obtain 20 per cent discount. This was only n small part of the measure to bo taken by the government to meet the impending ois- tress in Ireland. It was now clear, as the winter progressed, that a great pressure would be brought to bear on the poor law authorities, who were unable alone to meet the troubles. The government, while re lying on the poor law authorities to meet the greater part of the local distress, pro posed to employ labor on the public works. The appropriation asked for by M r. Balfour was approved. PARNELL POINTS. London, Dec. 4. At a caucus this morn ing of tho opponents of Air. Parnell, who comprise a majority of tho members of the Natioualist party" in tho house of com mons, a resolutiou was adopted not to ac cept the Clancy compromise which will bo offered at today's meeting, but to force matters to a decisive issue forthwith. The News says: "Lord Salisbury is again angling for the Irish vote. Let him state lb- main provisions of his home rule bill." Tho report received from Cork last night, stating that thu municipal authorities there had adopted a lesolution in favor of retiring Air. Parnell from tho leadership of the Nationalist party, was erroneous On tho contrary, the resolutiou was in support of Air. Parnell, and was adopted by a majority of tweuty-ouo votes. SIX LIVES LOST. London, Dec. 4. A fire broke out in tho workhouso New Castle-on-the-Tyne. The ilaines first appeared in tho women's dor mitory, which was crowded with women aud children, and there was a dreadful panic. The lire was extinguished before the entire building was destroyed, but six lives were lost. PARNELL'S LATEST MOVE.

Another Htunbng Eefonner on the Southern Negro Problem. COUTMBIA, S. C, Dec 4. Governor E. Gillman, who was elected on the reform ticket, composed of the Farmers' Alliance and other Democrats who wanted a change of government, was inaugurated today in front of the state hotiss at 1 o'clock, in the presence of a largo crowd. Lajjate inaugural address ho referred with pwAaure to the national victory of the Democratic party, and in regard "to the election of his own state said: "In our own state of South Carolina the triumph of Democracy and white supre macy over mongrelism and auarchy of civilization over barbarism has been most complete It is gratifying to note the fact that this was attended by a political phenomenon which was a surprise to all of us: Our colored fellow citizens absolutely refused to be led to the polls by their bosses. When it is clearly shown that a majority of our colored voters are no longer imbued with Republican ideas, the vexed negro problem will be solved and the fear of a return of negro domination will haunt us no more. "Cannot I appeal to the magnanimity of tho dominant race? Cannot I plead, in your behalf, that wo white men of South Caroliua stand ready to listen kindly to all reasonable complaints? to grant all just rights? and allow safe privileges to the colored people? that they shall have equal protection under tho law, and a guarantee of fair treatment at our hands? With tho machinery of the law in our hands; with every department of the government executive, legislative and judiciary held by white men; with white juries, white solicitors, white sheriffs it is simply infamous that resort should be bad to hnch law, and that prisoners should be murdered because the people have grown weary of the law's delay and of its inefficient administration. "Negroes have nearly always been the victims, and the confession is a blot on our civilization. Let us see to it that the fin ger of scorn be no moro pointed at our state by reason of this deplorable condi tion of affairs. Let punishment for crime, by whomever committed, be prompt and imDartial: and with the removal of tho cause, tho effect will disappear. And, as a Ia-t desperate remedy, to be used only when others fail, grant to the executive the power of absolute removal of any sher iff who fails to prevent any such act of vi olence iu his county after the law has tak en control of a prisoner. I have thought it wise to speak in emphatic terms on this subject; because every Carolinian worthy the name, must long to see the time when law shall assert its sway, and when our people will not be divided into hostile po litical camps. "We whites have absolute control of tho state government, and we intend to retain it. The intelligent exercise of the right of suffrage, at once the highest privilege and most sacred duty of the citizen, is as yet beyond the capacity of the vast majority of colored men. We deny that 'all men aro created equal.' It is not true now, and was not true when Jefferson wrote it. But we cannot deny that it is our duty, .13 the governing power in South Caroliua, to insure to every individual, black and white, 'the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.' " All the other state officers elect were also sworn in. It is now believed that Senator Hampton will be defeated by Irby, the Tillman can didate for the United States senate to suc ceed Hampton.

This from a 10-year-old street boy stand ing on tho approach to a bridge over the Erie canal in an interior city. The person addressed was a fellow street loy standing on a raised footbridge over the same muddy waterway. Ho was no older than his companion and fully as ragged. He was lame and carried a crutch, but he had his compensation in a philoso phy of contentment that old Horace might have envied. He stood upon the footbridge and an swered: "Naw. Can't. Got t' stay here." "Aw, come on down. What d'ye hang up there fur? Lots o' fun swingin' around here. We kin git on a boat and go over the aqueduct an then rido back on anoth er. Aw, come on down." "Naw, can't do it." "Why not? What ycr wants ter fool 'round up there fur? Ain't no fun up there.' "Wal," was the answer that Jimmy drawled out, with as solemn a face as a cadet on parade. "I can't come down no how. I've got ter stay up here and soak in all the sunshine I kin so as I kin laugh when it rains." New York Tribune. A Quotation Illustrated.

The admission of airto rooms should be regulated, according to The Sanitary News,' by the following rules: Air should be in- I produced and removed at those parts of the ; room where it would not cause a sensible t draught. Air flowing against the body at or even som6what above the temperature i of the air. of the room will cause an incon- i venient draught, from the fact that as it , removes the moisture of the body it causes evaporation or a sensation of cold. Air t should never, as a rule, be introduced at or J close to the floor level. The opeuingwould j be liable to be fouled with sweepings and j dirt. The air, unless very much above the j temperature of the air of the room, would j produce a sensation of cold to the feet. It ' may be regarded as an ndom in ventilat- I ing and warming that the feet should be j kent warm and the head cool. The orifices I at which air is admitted should be above j pying the room. The current of inflowing air should be directed toward the ceiling, and should either be as much subdivided as possible by means of numerous orifices, or be ad mitted through conical openings, with the smaller openings toward the outer air and the larger openings toward the room, by which means the air of the entering cur rent is very rapidly dispersed. Air admit ted near the ceiling very soon ceases to ex ist as a distinct current, and will be found at a very short distance from the inlet to have mingled with the general mas3 of the air, and to have attained the temperature of the room, partly owing to the longer mass of air in the room with which the in flowing current mingles, partly to the ac tion of gravity in cases where the inflowing air is colder than the air in the room. The Tastcnr Institute In Kovr York. An institution for the treatment of hy drophobia by the Pasteur method was, as many readers know, established in New lork city last spring, under tho direction ' of Dr. Paul Gibier. In a report of tho j work accomplished since that time are j found the following items: j To date 010 persons having been bitten by dogs or cats came to be treated. These ' patients may bo divided in two categories: For 480 of these persons it was demon- I strated that the animals which attacked) them were not mad. Consequently the patients were sent back after having had their wounds attended, during the proper length of time, when it was necessary. Four hundred patients of this series were consulted or treated gratis. In 130 cases the anti-hydrophobic treat ment was applied, hydrophobia bavins been demonstrated by veterinary examina- ' tion of the animals which inflicted the ' bites, or by the inoculation in the labora- J tory, and m many cases by the death of some other persons or animals bitten by the same dogs. All these persons are to day enjoying good healtli. In eighty cates the patients received the treatment free of charge. An Important Discover;. A series of very carefully conducted in- vestigations by Professor Pontic, of Brus- j sels, appear to prove that the human liver I has a wonderful power of reproducing it self. IIo finds that a large portion of the ' liver may bo removed without serious in- , jury to health. Surgeons have long re- ' garded it as a fact that the whole of the ' liver is not absolutely essential to health, i but have hardly supposed that the sudden destruction of a considerable part of it would not be serious in the extreme the discovery to tho contrary now enabling operations to be performed which have hitherto been considered alike bevond sur gical skill and human endurance. In some Cases, according to Professor Ponflc, the removal of a portion equal to Uvo-thirds has been followed by a new growth within a few weeks. Tho Deadly Tyrotoxlcoii. In speaking of the poison "tyrotoxicon," discovered only a few years ago by Pro fessor "ughn, of Ann Arbor. Dr. Doucher states that it is as deadly as strychnine, and is developed through somo chemical action in milk. It appears most frequent- I ly in cheese nnd ice cream. Sometimes the j poison is discovered in cheese having a I good appearance, and it might be devel- I oped after the cheese had passed to the ' charge of a consumer aud had been left in some unhygienic place. Boric Acid. According to American Analyst, the Ger man government has forbidden contract ors to supply the navy with preserved articles of food containing boric acid. This order is the result of the trial of a new pre servative composed of equal parts of borax and bait, which has been sold as harmless. It was found, it is said, that persons par taking of meat preserved with this agent experienced gastric derangements. SOCIAL ETIQUETTE. A Bahj'a Announcement Cards Wetl- dlnp Invitation.
