If You Want Anything ADVERTISE IN THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, Circulates Everywhere. • VOL. XII. ARMED TO THE TEETH. Mandanites Induce Gov. Mil • ler to Issue State Arras and Ammunition. Settlers Flock to the Towns, Fearing- That They Will Be Scalped. Agent McLaughlin Visits Sit ting Bull's Camp and Finds Him Quiet. Troops Moved Near Agencies as a Precautionary Measure. Special to the Globe. Jl.iMux. N. D., Nov. IS.— Nearly every house in town shelters a refugee from the country districts. Intense ex citement prevails 1 in the country, and settlers are prepared to believe am thing about Indians because ot .their queer actions lately. Several families came in on foot a distance of twenty miles. In town somewhat less tension exists ow ing to the receipt of 300 guns to-day from the state government and the fact that a company of soldiers will be here to-morrow from Fort Totten. To-night there are 200 Indians in town, nearly all armed, but the citizens are armed, too, and patrols will be out, and people will sleep with their clothes on. A date will be fixed by a committee of citizens, and Indian agents notified that after that date any Indian found in the . county without a pass from the agent will be killed on sight. The population is thoroughly aroused, and although conservative men are doing their best to quiet the angry ones, there is every reason to believe that unless the gov ernment takes immediate steps to in crease the , force of soldiers at Fort Lincoln every Indian coming into this county will be killed. Nearly one hundred settlers arrived on the train to-night from the west end of the county going to Bismarck for safety. At Glen Allen, forty miles west, the cit izens turned out en masse and are throw ing up breastworks by moonlight for protection. A supply of rifles has been sent to each settlement in the county. Telegrams are coming in constantly for supplies of ammunition. A telegram was received to-night from New Salem station that 150 Indians are camped south of that point and the people are clamoring for guns and powder. A number of determined men are bent on driving the Indians away, but have de ferred action till morning on the Indi ans promising to be peaceable. But the first thing in the morning they will be moved off promptly. ARMED "WITH STATE GUNS. Mandanites Still Fear an Attack by Indians. Special to the Globe. Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 18.— Several families, who came across the river last night on account of the Indian scare re turned to Mandan, New Salem and Sims this morning, being assured that the re ports were exaggerated. Coy. Miller arrived this morning ami in compliance with the request of Sheriff Bengin heinier, of Morton county, sent over 200 guns ami a quantity of ammunition. Everybody in Mandan and vicinity have armed themselves, and while tlie ex citement still continues, a much easier feeling exists to-night. Reports from Standing Rock are to the effect that the Indians in the vicinity are quiet and troops are on the alert. A company irom Fort Totten is expected to-morrow. They will march overland from the rail-' road to Standing Rock. The settlers Bouth of Sims and New Salem are coming into the villages with reports of having seen bauds of Indians in the vicinity of their homes, and instead of coming to their houses, as friendly Indians have here tofore, they keep at a distance. This sudden departure from their custom ex cites the settlers. It is believed to-night that the excitement will subside in a day or two. Sitting Bull and many of the Indians live twenty miles from the agency, and the fact that an uprising might be in progress for a couple of days without the agent knowing any thing about it is what adds to tho fears of the settlers bordering on the reserva tion. It is also said that many of the Indian police have caught the Messiah craze and torn off their stars. On re quest of Senator Pierce, Gen. Ruger telegraphs as follows: "All arrangements have been made for the inarch to Fort Yates of thecompanv transferred to that post from Fort Tot ten, which post is to be abandoned. 1 think the effect on the Indians, if in tending to make trouble, would be much better by the march of this company to Fort Yates than by its retention at Fort Lincoln. Report has been made tiiat traders at Mandan and other points on the river have sold ammunition and even arms to the Indians right along, before as well as since the excitement among the Indians first began. 1 would request you to use your influence aud counsel to stop such things if true. 1 have a report, dated Nov. 10, from Fort Yates,- stating that there was then little excitement among the Indians.'" BULL'S INFLUENCE WANING There Is Absolutely No Danger of Revolt at Standing Rock. Special to the Globe. Standing Rock Agency, N.D., Nov 18.— Maj. McLaughlin. Indian agent, re turned this afternoon from Sitting Bull's camp on Grand river, and reports the dances still going on, but Sitting Bull's influence has weakened greatly in the past week, and now has no more than a hundred or so ot followers. Sitting Bull received Maj. McLaughlin cor dially, but the young bucks scowled at him as though he were not welcome He had a long talk with Bull and is sat isfied that the old chief's faith in the coming of the Messiah is on the decline and unless something unforeseen oc curs, there -is no probability of trouble this winter, and possibly none next spring. Maj. McLaughlin stated that everything was comparatively quiet and orderly in Bull's camo, and he has no tear of trouble now. Gen. Ruger's presence here last week had the effect of reducing Sitting Bull's followers by nearly one-half, so tnat now he has not enough men to carry on a campaign if he wanted to.- . TROOPS ON THE MOVE. The Department of the Platte Con . tributes Several Companies. Valentine, Neb., Nov. 18.— The garrison of Fort Niobrara is ordered into the field and leaves to-day for Rose bud agency to keep the Indians in cheek. There is much excitement. CkawfoxU), Neb., Nov. 18.— Troops . are ordered out to Pine Ridge agency from Fort Robinson. They go frmn the post to Rushville by rail and there start north for the reservation. CfiKYKNXK, Wyo., Nov. 18.— A part of the garrison at Fort ' Russell has been ordered to go north on the Cheyenne A: Northern read, and thence to Ru-li ville, whence it will march to Pine Ridge agency. Seven companies were put under marching orders last night. JUST LA.T 1.0 ALONE. lie Will Dance himself Out ami Forget About Revolting. Washington, Nov. 18.— Acting In dian Commissioner Belt has received no recent information from South Dakota which justifies the evident alarm of the settlers in the neighborhood of the Pine Ridge agency. That the Indians" are greatly excited there is no doubt, but Mr. Belt is of opinion that so long as the Indians are not interfered with, no harm will be done except to themselves. He. does not believe" that the government would be justified under the present ex citement in making any arrests or in any manner attempting to sup press the ghost dances of the Indians so long as they commit no acts of violence. Such action might precipitate a general uprising. The proper course to pursue, in his opinion, is to let the Indians dance themselves out. It will not be long, lie thinks, be fore they, will begin to lose faith in tho coining Messiah and fall away. Then the whole craze will collapse, and the Indians will return to their, homes dis gusted with themselves and their pretended prophets. Mr. Belt is, how ever, strongly in favor of keeping a - strong military force within call to promptly suppress the first move to wards an outbreak, and to protect the lives and property of the settlers. This precaution has already been taken, and all things considered; the government is • not at all apprehensive of trouble. Mr. Belt'- to-day received a letter' from Charles A. East man, a young Sioux, who has been t-d --cated in medicine and is now employed by the government as agency physician at Pine Ridge. This young bioux writes that he has just had a long talk with Red Cloud, who is also living on the Pine Ridge reservation. In speaking of the ghost dance. JR. *d Cloud said: "The enthusiasm of the men in it will melt away like a spring snow." It lit a false Alarm. Washington, Nov. IS.— war de partment officials have received no news to-day of any change in the situa tion at the Pine Ridge, Standing Rock and other Sioux agencies, and as com petent officers are on the watch at all points where trouble is threatened. whose business it is to report any sig nificant events; it is taken for granted that no immediate trouble is at hand. . A Few Troops Ordered Out. Omaha, Neb., Nov. Troops from Fort Omaha, Fort Robinson, Fort Nio brara, Neb., and a pack train from Fort Russell, Wyo., have been ordered out to hold the Indians in check at the Pine Ridge and Rosebud, agencies ou the Da kola frontier. They will all be lv mo tion before night. A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE. Troops Being Placed in Readiness for Immediate Action. Chicago, Nov. 18.— Referring to the press dispatches of to-night regarding the movement of large bodies of troops in the department of the Platte, and their concentration at points adjacent to the Pino Ridge agency. Gen. Miles said: "The newspapers really ought not to publish this sort of news, for it will be in the Indian camps in less than twenty-four hours, taken there by run ners.. There is really nothing in this, except that the -troops are being placed in readiness so as to move, at a moment's notice. These troops are sent to the vicinity of the reservation to prevent, if possible, any outbreak, and to encourage the loyal element among the Indians, if any. Also to protect the agencies, which re port the Indians as turbulent and past control, hence they called on the mili tary for protection. It was hoped that this excitement might pass without seri ous trouble, and up to this time no In ; dians have left their reservation. The causes .of this : threatened trouble are the entire failure of their crops, the aelay of congress in malting appropria tions for their support, and the subse quent delay in getting supplies to them, resulting in their being brought to the verge of starvation, and worked into a frenzy. They are getting their rations now. and possibly the difficulty may be bridged over." :. "Then 1 understand yon to. say. gen eral," said the reporter, "that these movements are not resulting from any alarming news, but simply as precau tionary measures?" . ~ "Simply precautionary; but, at the same time, they may have something serious to do." "Is it not unusual." asked the re porter, "for the Indians to go on the warpath right at the beginning of the winter." -. ■ • "Not at all," returned the general. "those northern Indians are tougher than leather.'* 'Ihe general was found at his hotel at 11 o'clock preparing to retire. . He has been a very busy man all day, and it . was apparent that he regarded the situ ation as very serious. SWINDLED BY AGENTS. Another Cause of the Restlessness Among Reds. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 18.— Telegrams poured into the army headquarters and into the newspaper offices to-day with bulletins about .the Indian scare. At the army offices these were made light of, at least in conversation with the civilian reporter, and it was stoutly asserted that the Indians were only out on a hunt. Further, it was stated that two reliable Brule Indians now in the city had stated to the army officers that there was no messiah cra_e among the Indians just north of the Nebraska line. Private advices from Valentine give a different, origin than the Messiah craze to the Indian uneasiness. Since August the Indians of Rosebud have been restless, claiming that the agent was not giving theiu, a square deal on supplies. A few days a_o the families living ten miles northwest of Valentine moved away simultaneously. Their neighbors sought to convince them that there was no danger, but they had heard the complaints about the agent and were bound to go, and they went. Alex Mouwseau, an Ogal lala Indian and also a government scout, and White Face, both from Fort Hob'nson, are in the 'city. Mouwseau is quite intelligent, . and speaks the English language we 11 ...

CHIME OmiADMAfi He Shoots and _ Fatally Wounds a Woman at a Church Door. Two of the Kent Train Rob bers Jailed at El Paso. Chicago Excited Over What Promises to Be a Spicy Libel Suit. . Two Men Killed and Many In jured by a Collapsing Building. New YORK, Nov. IS.— Miss Gladys Price, aged twenty-four, was shot through the left lung this evening by John T. Davis, aged forty-five, and now lies at the hospital in a critical condition. Miss Price is the organist at the Mariners' Temple at Madison and Catherine streets, and was just leaving the building after the evening services when Davis shot her. Davis is a lunatic of the most pronounced character. He has at times followed the sea for a living, and lately has' frequented the reading room of the basement of the Mariners' Temple. Davis was at once arrested. At the station house he declared that Miss Price was his wife, though the girl avers that she never spoke to him. He also declared that ex-President Cleveland was continually following her. He had challenged Cleveland to fight a duel and to-night saw him in the church by the side of Miss Price. He said his object was to kill her and then kill Cleveland, who had taken her away from him. Davis expressed no regret at his act, except to say he was sorry he did not kill Cleveland, which he de clared he would yet do. 808 ONE IS FATALLY INJURED. Two of the Kent Train Robbers Behind the Bars. El Paso, Tex., Nov. 18.— _*vo of the men who are implicated in the train robbery at Kent last night were cap tured at Sierra Blanca this morning. Their names are J. F. Kutch and J. D. Beard. Both are badly wounded and Kutch is not expected to live. They were brought to this city by a freight train and taken to the county jail. They have both been iden tified as cowboys formerly working on ranches in tne valley and have hereto fore bore good reputations. The other man's name is.Van De Grif. A posse is now on his track and his capture is a matter of but a short time. Five Mexi cans were brought to this city this morning charged with murdering an American citizen at San Ignacia,a small town on the American side. Immedi ately after committing the deed the murderers crossed to the other side to Camp Rice. They were arrested by Constable Cristobal Marquez, who ac companied them to this city and lodged them in the county jail. The Mexican authorities at Juarez were informed of the affair, and they will make out the necessary papers lor the prisoners' con veyance to the jail in that city. INVOLVES MANY SWELLS. A Libel Suit Which Is Agitating Chicago Society. Chicago, Nov. There began in Judge Baker's court this afternoon a suit for libel which, if the ''opening ad dress of counsel shall he proven, will merge into one of tho most sensational ever heard in Chicago. It is the $50,000 suit of Mary M. Ryan against the Inter Ocean for characterizing her as a black mailer and adventuress, and stating that she purpued with, the .relent-. leaanet- of a tiger some of the wealthiest and most prominent of Chicago's citizens, ; bleeding them of large sums of money which they handed over rather than public notice should be brought to them. The plaintiff is a rattier tall, plainly attired, well-devel oped woman with an attractive . face. She has acted as a book canvasser. A large crowd attended the proceedings, not a few of the ladies present being wives of wealthy alleged victimized husbands. A jury was secured but no witnesses were called to-day. . Over sixty have been summoned by the Inter Ocean, among them some of the most prominent supposed sufferers. Others are said to have left the state, to avoid the publicity their testimony would give,wlnlea number had to be threatened with being attached for contempt before they would consent to appear. UNDER FALLING WALLS. A Building Collapses, Killing Two "Workmen and Injuring Dozens. Lima, 0., Nov. 18.— This forenoon a building in course of construction at the Solar refinery fell while a number of men were at work upon it.

The building, which was owned by the Standard Oil company, was 175 feet Jong and forty-three feet wide. The framework was completed and the workmen were just putting on the cor rugated iron roof, when, without warn ing, the, frame collapsed, scattering great beams and timbers and iron work in every direction. The wreck was complete. Superintendent Van Diekc said he did not Know how to account for the accident, except on the theory that recent rains had underminded the foundations and weakened the str ucture.

Mary Davis and Rhoda Wright became wildly excited by a kind of religious frenzy. They began shout ing at a terrible rate and hugging each/ other with all their strength. ..This was kept up some time, when the Wright woman fell to the floor exhausted. The other woman fell on top of her and con tinned shouting. In falling the Davis woman's knees struck Rhoda in the chest. . In i few minutes the congrega tion noticed that Rhoda had ceased to shout and was gasping for breath. Mary was pulled off, but too late. Rhoda breathed her last in a few minutes.

Premier Crispi Lauds the Work of His Administration. \,_ Turin, ' Nov. 18. — Prime Minister j Crispi. in an electoral speech here to- j night, said that the Italian people were: called upon to pronounce their verdict on the policy of the government. He claimed that the government had ac complished many internal reforms, and had conquered for Italy a position among the nations of the world . that no one dare risk abandoning. He ; would not presume to assert that the .ministry had fully attained the objects: of its policy, for to the government of a great state that wished to live and not to vegetate such a thing as complete at tainment was unknown. He was con fident that the new chamber of depu ties would indorse the policy of: the government and assist in the solution of grave questions of a national character. Although the chamber would naturally bring into prominence the different legislative tendencies of the various parties, the government hoped to realize the idea ot a monarchy sur rounded by democratic institutions. Referring to Africa, Signor Crispi con tended that the results obtained in a short time, and with feeble means, were most gratifying, promising an "ample development of the colonial com merce, denied that he had >-" fol lowed a war-like European pol icy, and defended the financial administration of the government. He said that during the first ten years' of monarchy Italy had to find three mill iards by mortgaging the state domains' and issuing a loan to cover the inade quacy, of the receipts. Hie finances improved in 1877, but a deficit rear* peared in 1885, although it was much less than •: before. This deficit re sulted from laws that had been enacted by parliament before ;be came into power. He precicted a rapid increase of financial prosperity, and a permanent peace under a con tinuance of his foreign policy. Premier, Crispi declared that the deficit was not due to armaments, which, but for the dreibund, would have been trebled.' Italy's defenses were less costly than those of other nations. He should not ask for a further increase. of defences or for an increase of taxation, but would look to -reform in the public service and other means to remove the deficit.: Agricult ure and manufactures, and notably the textile industry, were reviving, and the government would come to their assist ance. Without placing excessive faith in the efficacy of protective duties, he believed, in the face of the attitude of Europe and America, that Italy con id not dispense with them. He still hoped for some concession' from France in exchange r- for > the abolition of differential' ». duties against her. If France adopted the proposed new tariff, however, it would: render treaties impossible. "Russia also." he continued, "is increasing: her customs," and the result of the elections in America is not; decisive enough to permit her to consider her vast markets' open to Europe. Therefore, while we are favorably disposal toward equitable' arrangements we shall maintain the sta ; bility of our customs." In conclusion he referred to the proposed social meas ures, and said that the reorganization of the national credit was imperative. BEARS ON TOP AGAIN Tight Money Restricts Buy ;'' ing- of Stocks and Causes Values to Shrink. Vicious Attacks Upon Leading Rajffoad Shares Depresses : \f4 the Whole List. Closing 1 Quotations Show Losses Ranging From Five Points to Fractions. Gallaudet & Co., a Firm Con sidered Strong", Fails for a Million. New Yokk, Nov. 18. -The shrinkage in the volume of business at the stock exchange which was so marked yester day made further . progress to-day and the returning dullness indicating that no material demand for stocks existed induced more selling by the bears and the tone of the market Was weaker than it has been' since Saturday morning, re sulting in many marked losses for the day. The bears were more aggressive than usual on a market of the caliber displayed to-day and there was a re newal of the old tactics of which spread ing reports reflecting upon the financial standing of prominent firms in the street was one of tho favorites. The monetary situation was tine of the most influential factors, however, in restricting buying, and, while money was much easier during the latter por tion or the day, its scarcity in the fore noon told severely against prices. . It was reported that many banks to-day took out clearing house certificates, and the criticism of those banks and lenders who were Industriously ; calling loans yesterday was most severe. The relief came too late to have any material in fluence upon ' the ■■ market. 'It was also reported that there is a. hitch in the Gould-Union Pacific deal. The report was followed by an attack upon Union Pacific stock. The foreign situation of ferred little consolation this morning, and, while early London prices were generally higher than our figures of last evening, a : X Weak and Declining Market was soon developed there, and the de mand here which * comes piincipally from investors who pay for their secur ities outright there was not sufficient buying power in the market to with stand the onslaught of the bears. The latter attacked Jersey Central and Pa eilic Mad, and the former dropped per i cent in a short time, and the latter 5 per cut ,on very light trading. One fail ure was announced. in the forenoon and ■ one in the afternoon,- an -While neither had much influence to lower prices they acted as a further deterrent from -i buy ing and in conjunction with the scarcity of money ; effectually quelled the resist ing power of the : market before noon. ; .The attacks upon j the- stoelts before ; mentioned' were followed by press ! ure ; over : all •; -the-, list ' . and S the whole list yielded more or less, the ! declines from the best prices of the I. forenoon reaching as high as 4 per cent, with Lackawanna specially prominent in the drop. There were rumors of fur ther trouble among the roads west of the Mississippi, . and this 'affected " the grangers to some "extent, but those stocks, were never very active, and their movements were comparatively small. The one strong point in the list was Distillers' and Cattle Feeders' company, which scored a gain of : about 2 per cent and held most of it at, the close. The unlisted department was unusually quiet, and the movements of those stocks were entirely unworthy _f.no tice. Rates for ; money on call went down to as low as 3.; per cent at -, the close, but all the business had been done earlier at the higher rates and the concessions had not much effect upon prices. There was a slight Rally in the Last Hour, when Lackawanna rose 2 per cent, but the rest of the list failed to follow, and the close was active and rather heavy generally at or near the lowest prices of the day. The final changes are all in the direction of lower figures, and Pa cific Mail is down 3}4; Jersey Central, •B)-*; Missouri Pacific, '3%: Union Pa eilic, 235; Atchison", 1%: -St.' Paul.

Rail- , road bonds maintain about the same moderate, volume of business and to-day, the market showed a materially better tone than yesterday, although the final . changes ; to-night show many ma terial losses. 1 The sales of* all issues reached $2,142,000, out of which Northern Pacific 5s contributed $103,000. There was a wide and even distribution of ; the rest ,of the business, and the changes in quotations were not-: so marked as during the past few days. The active issues generally displayed considerable strength, but only Iron Mountain 5s scored any marked ad vance, •' rising 2)_ to . 87. The other changes are generally for losses. Northwestern consols are 2)4 lower, at 1.35>_; Omaha consols 2, at -1.17;' Eric .seconds. 2J£, at 04}4; and Mobile & Ohio 4s 3, at 50. Government bonds have been dull and heavy for the is. State bonds have been entirely neglect • ed, : The Post ' says : .'•The money .market is in a much more demoralized and abnormal condition than the stock : market, while the New York and Bos ton banks have already adopted the use of clearing house certificates and Phila delphia banks are about to do the same thing, thus relieving .' -The Strain/ Money In the daily, settlements and enabling the banks to extend that much more aid to customers if they desire to do so. Money for call loans, on stock collater als ran up to "_ of 1 per cent per day this afternoon on the stock exchange. Whether this scarcity is to any extent .due to the locking up of money by bear Operators - for the effect on - the stock market is difficult to say, but probably it is not. It is - certain that the chief cause is the fact that the banks do not offer their balances on the stock ex change as usual; they find plenty of •borrowers outside, and while it is well known that commission houses who are considered strong and have . goo I lines of acceptable stocks get money at 6 per cent, others who are. obliged .to bid for it on the stock exchange are obliged to pay; the exorbitant rates. This, of course, compels many of them, as well "as their customers, to -sell their stocks and the liquidation of these "depresses prices and reduces the" value of the col laterals iv other loan calls.

ONLY A MILLION IN DEBTS. A Big Brokerage Firm Makes an Assignment. New York, Nov. 18.— P. W. Gallau det-; Co., No. 2 Wall street, made an assignment to-day to .C. Elliot Minor. 'The assignee states that the liabilities of the firm amount to about $1,000,000. The failure is due to the action of sev eral banks in calling in loans to the firm. The preferences are $40,000 to Margaret •E. Gallaudet and $6,000 to Frazer & ; Minor, their attorneys. The firm is composed of P.W. Gallaudet and Henry Fitch. To a reporter, Mr. Minor, the assignee, said: "The suspension of the house is due to the general de preciation in the value of collaterals, which has gone so far that when loans ; to the firm were called they could not be met.although the firm have what in ordi nary times would be amply sufficient resources for borrowing money. From a cursory examination of the firm books, it appears to me that their liabil ities will amount to about $900,000, or perhaps more. They hold such good securities that if the market improves they will be able to pay all this indebt edness and have a handsome surplus left. A full statement of liabilities and assets will. not be ready for several days." Mr. Fitch, a member of the firm, said to the reporter: "We have been compelled to suspend on ac count- of the decline in values and our inability to borrow money on our securities, which, uuder ordinary circumstances, would be available. We owe our trouble in part, also, to the dis crimination of the banks in the matter of accepting securities. The threatened fall of the Barings and other financial difficulties have made them exceedingly careful. lam not criticizing them, as their action was natural and justifiable uuder the circumstances, and they have, on the whole, treated us exceedingly well. Of course we hope to resume business shortly. Our being able to do so depends largely upon the banks and trust companies. If they are lenient with us we may come out all right. If, on the other hand, they press us, the termination of our suspension is not so clearly foreseen." H_3B "WEAK AND UNSETTLED. Stocks in the Market Show Con siderable Losses.

Philadelphia's Clearing House .' , Will Issue Certificates. Philadelphia, Nov. 18.— The meet ing of the clearing house committee to day was attended by all the members. The advisability of issuing certificates was discussed, and all the presidents agreed that such a step would be a wise one at this time. A resolution ; provid ing for the unlimited issue of the certifi cates was then presented and adopted without a . dissenting, vote. -.Tne com mittee decided to meet daily at 11 o'clock for the purpose of examining tne col laterals presented by the various banks and to issue the certificates. The banks decided alter some discussion to issue loan certificates in unlimited, amounts. The Philadelphia banks have not adopt ed this course since 1873 when the Jay Cooke panic occurred. At that time they decided to issue certificates and: in that way assisted some of the banks, or rather enabled the banks to tide over their customers. - _S___9r?l_BJ__l EASING THE SQUEEZE.

DunLiN, Nov. 10.— meeting of the National league was held in this city to day. Edmund Leamy, member of the house of commons for South Sligo, pre sided. Mr. Leamy made an address in which, referring to" the reports of the .withdrawal of Mr. Parnell from the leadership of the Nationalist party, he said that Mr. Parnell was the chosen leader of the party, and that the party would stand by him while he stood by them, He would lead the party in the combat in parliament during the coining session, and the Irish people would be more that ever devoted to him. John Redmond, member of the house of com mons for North Wexford, ridiculed the idea of Mr. Parnell being prejudiced in politics by the verdict in the O'Shea case. His colleagues, he said, were bound to him by unfailing loyalty. Never in the career of the Na tionalists were the members of the party more determined to stand by Mr. Par nell. Mr, Redmond's remarks were greeted with cheers. Joseph Kenny, member of the house of commons for South Cork, and other leaders spoke in a similar strain." The Freeman's Journal, commenting upon the outcome of the O'Shea divorce case and the predictions that have been mr.de concerning its ef fects upon Mr. Paruell's future", recalls the private lives of the Duke of Welling ton, Lord Nelson, Lord Palnierston and a number of other prominent person ages, who, it says, in their time Were Subject to Scandals similar to that in which Mr. Parnell is now involved. The Journal says that the gabble about the social ostracism to which Mr. Parueil will be subjected is absurd, because he never went into so ciety. The pastors - charged with his moral well being are not the pastors of the majority of the Irish people. It is neither our duty nor our province to ad judge his private life, nor to- examine his conscience. .Ireland's business with him is entirely of a political nature. , He has ably,' faithfully and successfully served the country, and has brought her out £of .': bondage g and "•' led 7 her. with-'. in sight or. the promised. A June-" v ture ;. has > now . been ; reached ; where there Can be no swapping or changing of leaders. We would riot"change if we could, and we could not if we. would. The Irish, not the English, people .will decide if the toil of the nation for years is to be lost or the fruit of that toil risked because a man has been weak and a woman frail.; Continuing, the Journal says: "It is imperative that Mr. Parnell continue as " leader of the Irish parliamentary party. ..The neces sity for this course was proclaimed at a meeting of the National league held to day, and will be indorsed at a public meeting to be held Thursday." MADE THEM RIDICULOUS. The Nationalists' Chief Canse for Irritation Against Parnell. London, Nov. 18.— The Nationalists': chief cause for irritation against Mr. Parnell arises from the fast that he al lowed them' to place', themselves in a position which now turns out to be a ridiculous one. It is not known whether Mr. Parnell intends to be present in the house when it meets Tuesday or not. Many believe that he will postpone his appearance to a later and less conspicu ous occasion, though it will be singular tor* him to disobey his own urgent whip, in which he dwells upon the im portance of every Irish member, being on hand at the opening. The Globe de clares that the .'•grand old man" will shock the public if he continues to dis play personal friendship for the two penny Don Juan: Although the scan dal nas been a matter of public gossip for months, and even years, and has been alluded to more or less directly in certain weekly prints, Mr. Gladstone, according to his close friends, nevei heard this gossip, and the prints allud ed to are excluded from his library. He is a man of the most strict id as in regard to moral obligations, and the O'Shea trial has come on him as a new and nainful revelation in reference to Parnell's alliance with Mrs. O'Shea. COULDN'T DO OTHERWISE. Irish Envoys Decide to Stick to Parnell. New Yoke, Nov. 18.— Associ ated Press learns through T. P. O'Con nor. M. P.. and T. P. Gill, M. P., that the Irish envoys are firmly resolved to stand by the leadership of Parnell. They think this course dictated not merely by gratitude for Parnell's im perishable service in the past, but by the conviction that his leadership is ab solutely essential to the success of their movement. Owing to tne scattering of tho delegates at meetings different parts of the country it has not been possible to have a cablegram sent to Ireland to-night, but its terms are prac tically agreed upon, and a joint mes sage, which is uncompromising in sup port of Paruell's leadership, is being signed by all the delegates, and will be sent early to-morrow. Parker Says Step Down. London, Nov. 18.— Dr. Parker, of the Temple, says ho. considers Mr. Parnell B~uiid to surrender the leadership of the" Irish party.

French Deputies Call Each Other? Hard Names. *"_ Paris, Nov. IS.— ln the chamber ol deputies to-day M. Laur asked leave- to question the. government as to what "measures it proposed to adopt, in ordes to prevent the drain of gold from France for the benefit of foreign mar kets. M. Rouvier, minister of finance, appealed to the chair not to ' allow M. Laur to interrupt the debate on the budget, but the latter insisted upon an immediate discussion of the matter, declaring that the whole country was deeply concerned about the loan that had been advanced to the Bank of En gland. M. Laur was proceeding to de tail the position of the foreign markets, when M. Floquet, -president of the cnamber, interrupting, requested him not to discuss the merits of his ques tion, but to confine himself to the point; —namely, whether it should bo asked at the present time. M. Laur retorted that no ono could prevent him from doing his duty. -He was surprised, he said, that M. Rouvier, had never replied to the accusations that had been made against him. To this M. Rouvier re plied that he disdained to answer cer tain kinds of accusations, whereupon M. Laur made a violent attack upon the finance minister, accusing him of tak ing advantage of his official position to speculate for a rise in government ; stocks. A great uproar followed M. Laur's remarks. The president of the chamber twice called the deputy to order, but the latter persisted in continuing his speech. Aftei a noisy scene M. Laur was forbidden t« proceed, and M. Rouvier explained his position. He said on the previous day : he had offered to reply to M. Laur's in terpellation forthwith, but as M. Lam refused to accept that proposal, th« government had decided not to aeced* to his demand now. The matter was then postponed for a month. The sub- ' committee on tariff has decided in favor of laisiug the duty on salt meats, beef/ and other meat 22 to 27 francs. A SORT OF PRIVATE SEANCE.. Prof. Gerhardt Explains Koch's Method of Foreign Treatment. Berlin, Nov.

To-day -there was a - decided reaction - ami a cure is expected. -The second was a case of phthisis, io which the treatment had already been attended with marked sue-" cess. Iv the third case the treatment was applied as a means of diagnosis,^ and as no reaction followed, Prof. Ger hardt assumed that the patient was free from tuberculosis. In the course of a lecture Prof. Gerhardt warned his hear ers against the idea that Koeu's treat ment merely required the injection of the lymph to drive out the disease: It has been arranged that after fresh' sup plies have been, prepared the -lymph shall be distributed?; first among the lab oiatpries and hospitals of Berlin; next, among universities and large hospitals throughout Germany; then . among the' hospitals of Vienna, Paris and London: " and lastly among private practitioners. Only small portions of the lymph have as vet been sent abroad -to Dr. Walt zoldt, of San Remo, and to a doctor at Davos.- . ■- -■ ■ AUSTRIAN DOUBTERS. - They .

Ihey say tnat in some of the cases declared to be cured suspicious-looking - pustules were seen breaking out afresh near the cicatrized wounds. The leading Austrian specialists warn the faculty against over-estimating the ; efficacy of Koch's method. They affirm that up to the present time not a single case of undoubted and permanent cure has been recorded. They also think it pos- - sible that the strong reaction of- the remedy on diseased tissue may prove dangerous to weak lungs, and interfere with respiration. Three deaths attrib uted to this cause have already been reported. - ■ STARVING CELTS. They Implore the Authorities for Either Food or Work. Dublin, Nov.

The applicants, Borne of whom carried black banners, num bered fully 1.000. Father For rest, of Goleen, said that thirty families were starving in his parish, and that he was obliged to assist them out of his own scanty means. A deputation of directors of the Schull & Skibbereen . railway,. headed, by the high sheriff, of Cork, asked the board to approach' tho . government for money to extend the line to Crookhaven and build piers, etc. They also suggested further means to relieve the prevailing distress, and the' boar I adopted resolutions in accordance witn their proposals.
