':." '" London, Nov. 26.— Although Parnell re
' fused to call a meeting of the Irish mem
■ bers of the Commons last night, the meeting
was held to-day. ! Faruell was present and
presided.. Silence was observed as he en
. tered the room. After calling the meeting
to order Parne'.l explained that he had re
considered his determination not to call the
meeting. - The meeting lasted half an licnr.
There was a great divergence of opinion
' manifested throughout the discussion.
Parnell, in his explanations at the opening
.'• of the meeting, gaya no Indication that he
■'. ■•Intended to alter his' decision to retain the
•..leadership. .
-•. . Nolan was the only member present who
■ . favored Farr.ell's retention in office. ; :
: ; ■ McCarthy, whoso frequent allusions to
Parnell's great sacrifices for the Irish cause
'.were applauded, said he hoped after due
; ;. consideration that P.irnell would sec the
■ way to retire for the present and save the
sacred cause of Irish independence.
'■ " ' Sexton said he regretted Air. Gladstone's
views regarding the leadership had been
••withheld yesterday. He sympathetically
: appealed to Parnell to reconsider his posi
:' tion. The question had assumed a new
phase since the publication of Gladstone's
■ .letter, and, personal considerations must be
■'sacrificed for the cause.
■',■ Parnell maintained an attitude of reserve
throughout the meeting. :
..".' It was hoped a cable from the delegates in
"; America would reach London before the
:. meeting adjourned, but none was received.
'.'• No detinue action was agreed upon and
'• the meeting adjourned till 5 o'clock.
-■'•■ ... •-• ANOTHER MEETING.
■'.'. The decision to reassemble at 5 o'clock
• ' • was caused by a hope that a dispatch would
|. : arrive in the Interval.
: .. It was learned after the adjournment of
• the meeting that a strong feeling in favor of
■ Parnell's resignation of the leadership was
manifested, but the minority. vehemently op
posed it.
■. The Nationalists met again at the hour
' designated and adjuuraed until Monday
. night without action. : ' WLJS
.'■ Gladstone had frequent conferences with
. his colleagues this forenoon.
■ '.-. When Gladstone entered the Commons he
was loudly cheered : by bis Liberal col-,
leagues. • •
; Parnell was present and occupied his
usual seat.
At the meeting this afternoon, Barry,
Sheel.y, Lane and Cummins urged Parnell
to retire. McCarthy, Sexton . scd John
O'Connor spoke in favor of his retaining
the leadership. All the speakers dilated
eloquently upon P.irneU's past services.
Leave was granted Gladstone to intro
. duce a bill removing the disability prevent
ing Catholics from becoming Lord Chan

Ireland. • ■ . ■ .
Gladstone and Morley held a conference
this afternoon to consider the situation. -
pahnei.l's probable course.
■ To-day's events have not relieved the ten
sion, but rather accentuated the complica
tions of the situation. The conferences held
. to-day prove that a great divergence of
optonlon exists, but show that unle-s a vote
of confidence is passed -by his followers,
■ Parncli will not abdicate.
The meeting this afternoon adjourned
after nearly three hours of speecb-inaking
In order to obtain the views of tlia a Bent
mem lier of the party. When the party re
assembles Monday it is probable that Par
cell will apaiu be urged to- retire by one
section of his supporters, but if a vote is
taken it is expected that a larse majority
will be I'D his site.
The Welsh m. tubers of the party to-day
resolved that the retention of Tarnell would
cause a postponement of home rule beyond
th.- tpan of Gladstone's public life, and they
are more than ever determined tv rally to
the support of Gladstone.' .
GLADSTONE'S LETTER.
Truth. Henry Labouchere's' paper, aban
dons Parnell. . ■
. The Star (home rule) says Gladstone's let
ter was designed to be react at the Farnellite
meeting yesterday. Justin McCarthy was
Instructed to inform Parnell of Gladstone's
opinion, but in the haste of Parni-ll's ar
- rival Gladstone's opinion was not fully ap
preciated. Parnell's past services, the out
side cruel talk against him an 1 his in
stinctive Iri.sli loyalty prevailed over the du
ties of the Parneilites as to th« necessity of
the situation. The eyes of the party are
now opened to the significance of the affair
In England, which is nothing less than
■ whether home rule will be passed upon at
the next general election or indefinitely
shelved. Had the Parneilites known this
they could have come to but one conclusion.
We believe they « ill come to it to-day. ■
. The Star says it is confident, as patriots,
the Home-rulers have do alternative but to
' pass a resolution that will enable Gladstone
• to give the remainder of his life to their
. cause.
. " Many Nationalist members of Parliament
• '• are greatly annoyed at Parnell's ungracious
': treatiiien' ol Gladstone. A rumor is current
• to-night that Parnell intends to issue a man
■ - lfesto to the Irish people explaining and
Justifying his position. •
THE IRISH PRESS.
.. ' Dublin,' Nov. 20. — The Freeman's Jour
■•• nal, In a leading article on Gladstone's let
ter, says: Gladstone assumes that the Irish
party portion of the Liberal party and the
' ' flitter arc qualified to de[t>«e the Irish lead
er, or veto hi* acts. The principle of inde
pendent opposition would be isolated and
- broken down if this power of the veto was
admitted. We. must never f oreet that Glad
stone came to Paruell, and Parnell did not
• go t'i Glad-tone.
. The L< uuou correspondent of the Free
• map's Journal says the Parnellite», al
' though anxious to avoid, if possible, the
catastrophe of Gladstone's retirement, lire,
_.j determined to remain steadfast in the sup
port of Parnell. lie stated, however, that
nbthiug will be done until advice is received
. by .cable from Dillon, U'iJriea and O'Connor
. in America.
.-. '.'.he Express says: It will be interesting
- to observe how the Liberals will behave
: ' when Parncll tramples upon them In the
manner in which he is accustomed to trample
up.in his Irish followers.
' '. United Ireland says the decision of Glad
stone and other faithful friends of home,
- rule alters .the situation. Only fidelity to
•Ireland override? fidelity to Pnrnell. The
.defection ol Liberals would indefinitely
' .postpone the triumph of the home-rule
• movement.
■ . ' '.:•_. DELEGATES TO AMERICA.
. . New Yokk, Nov. 96.— K. Gill, one of
" the Irish delegates, said this evening that
; to-day's London meeting was postponed
without action to allow the delegates here
. an opportunity of consulting together. They
' will probably meet Friday at Cincinnati
and interchange views. Gill warns the
friends of the Iri.'h cause to beware of ha-
-.conclusions; declares his flat disbelief in
•". liie aliened anger of the Irish members at
'. Purne.ll'-. allseed refusal to summon a sec
. Oiid meeting, and is equally incredulous as
to the a. lenient credited to an Irish mem
■. ber that the party would follow Parnell even
if home rule, was delayed fifteen years. A
. grave crisis is undoubtedly caused by Glad
stone's letter, but the Irish members may be
reiied .en to act with patriotism. I'arnell
and the Irish ] arty will decide the question

sacred concern of their lives. As to the
probable decision of the party Gill would
give no opinion.
He added that when Farnell's mouth is
unsealed the judgment -which has been
formed now would be presented in a differ
ent light. Gill feels confident that the next
few days will allow all parties to consider
the situation coolly and euable a cordial un

Home-rulers, In a manner gratifying to the
grand old man and honorable to the Irish
people and Parnell.
O'Brien, who is in Cincinnati, sent a ca
blegram to the other side, this afternoon,
earnestly recommend ina the party to open
friendly communications with Gladstone.
O'ISKIKN AND SULLIVAN.
Cincinnati. Nov. 26.— Messrs. O'Brien
and Sullivan of the Irish Nationalist party,
being asked if they had anything to say con
cerning the letter of Gladstone, replied that
it was a matter engaging their anxious con
sideration, but, Dillon not being here, no
conference could be had at present.
GLADSTONE'S HKTIKEMENT.
New Yohk, Nov. 26.— The Sun's London
special says: GlnrUti ne's retirement from
political life, which can only be avoided by
I'arneH'g resignation, means not a mo
mentary disaster but temporary ruin to
thft c:\uspi of home rule. Gladstone
up to Monday bad been giveu to understand
that Parnell would relire for a season.
When it became known that the Irish leader
had no such intention tho lei ter to Morley
was written and coufideutially communi
cated to Parnell. It was nut made public
until Parnell had publicly rejected the
solemn advice which it conveyed.
Trusted leaders, such ns Justin McCarthy,
Thomas Sexton, Michael Daviit and
Arthur O'Connor, have urged Parnell
to bow his head to the storm, lest
it may inflict serious injury upon the
cause, and thereby cause the. Irish Parlia
mentary patty to split into factions with
similar demoralizing effect iv Ireland.
The adjournment o( to-day's meeting was
designt-J Id order to obtain full possession
of the views of the Irish members now in
America. It is not an exaggeration to say
that the immediate future of home rule de
pend.i upuu Wiliiuiu O'lineii and John
Dillon.

Johnson, the alleged ifetttali.
ranchman who was a scout in IS7O and 1879.
The Governor vouches for his good charac
ter and judgment, Phillips expresses the
opinion that there will be an uprising scon.
A few days ago twelve bucks, well armed,
stopped at his house on their way from
Kosebud to a camp at South Pass Creek.
They were very surly, and made threats.
A ranchman named Wai. iron also reports
to Governor Mellette that Indians have
killed quite a number of his cattle recently.
Phillips says everybody who has been
among the Indians any length of tUna ex
pect at. uprising soon. Short Bull's
headquarters, at Pass Creek, where a dance
is going on, Phillip? and Waldrou think a
point fixed upon lor concentration. Fifteen
hundred armed warriors are there, and they
say they wont give up Short Bull under any
circumstances. Short Bull is teaching them
that they will be made invulnerable against
the white men's bullets. The Governor
promises further* information, and renews
his application for 1000 euns with ammuni
tion.
Minneapolis, Nov. 26.— A Tribune's spe
cial from Pierre, S. Dak., says the statements
nude by Cattlemen I'liillips and Waidron,
the purport of which vas telegraphed to
General Miles by Governor Mellette to-night,
created much excitement there. Phillips
and Waldron are known to be intimately
acquainted with all the prominent Indians
and their ways, having married into the
tribe, and great reliance is placed in their
assertion of trouble coining. What makes
the matter v ore serious is the report that
army officers have been ordeied to capture
Sli<rt Bull .mil some of the otner leaders.
Phillips and Wiil-.iron Are sure such an at
tempt will precipitate bloodshed. In easeof
an outbreak grave apprehensions are felt for
the settlers In the nountiies to tlie north, as
roving band of Indians can scatter up there
and destroy everything long before the

Cahso.v, Nov. 2ti. — It is claimed by parties
in lieno tliat Bill Nye, the humorist, b|in
directly responsible for tbe Indian dUturb
mcet. It Hppears that last winter wnen
Nye passed llii<n>i:li Rend he stopneit mwi
(lay and was intrmiuceu to Johnson Sines,
th- fitmous Indian interbreter. He was
quite struck with the pieuliarities of the
Indian, and had a lone conversation with
him. Afterward parties in Heno told Nye
several anei'dnlcs of Sides which he Incor
porated In ono of his letters. Sides never
saw the letter in print, but heard of it from
parties who jnked him about it, and mnny
who saw tha' he was annoyed manufactured
All fcorts of jams übout him which
they said they had read in Nye's letter. He
finally became very angry because he has
lad a singularly honest life and is preud of
his semi-civilization nnd education. Parties
pretended to believe all sorts of things
about him and claimed that Nye had written
him up as a murderer, drunkard, gambler,
etc. In his innocence he saw nu humor iv
these things, and, thinking that he had lost
the confidence of the whites, he became
very moruse. He then preached anew Mes
siah, Iwc.iii.so he argued the old Mussinh had
not regenerated his chosen iex>ple, but
caused them to believe in wicked stories
about himself. People who could not dis
tinguish the fal.->n from the true needed a
new Christ.
JOnXSON'B CAIIKER.
Referring to Johnson us the Messiah who
has promised the Indians all sorts of
miracles, n gontleman who knows something
of his career said, iv the St. Paul Ploneer
l'ress: With the coaching he no doubt is
receiving from tiie il<;ruions, he will b« able
to create an excitement that will result in no
good to the Indians. Nor will it do good to
tiie white settlers who arc located within
reach of trouble that will result from the
plotting of this wily savage. In 1878 the
I'ti" tribe, of which Johnson whs a petty
chief, was located at White Kiver Agency,
in Graud County, Colorado. The head
chiefs were Douglas and Jack, while the
head chief of all the Ute tribes was Ouray,
who lived at Los linos Agency, some dis
tance from White Ulver. There was a
strong feeling in Colorado that the Ute*
must gr>. The miners and ranchmen were
clamoiine for tho rich mineral deposits
supposed to be slumbering iv the mountains,
and Die grand valleys, aud parks, where tho
Indians fished, hunted, picked the luscious
wild fruit, and grazed their ponies. It was
the same old story : The Indians are a
thriftless lot anyhow. They have no use for
this grand country. In May. IS7B, ft C.
Meeker, who had fouuded tho town of
Greeley, Colo., utider the patronage or
Horace Greeley. nud was weU known as .1
correspondent for the New York Tribune
over the signaluie of N. C. M., was put in
charge of White Kiver Agency, "lhat
Meeker was an honest man," continued
the. relator, "no one doubted who knew him,
but ho wholly misunderstood ludi.in
character and had Utopian ideas of
the management of Indian affairs that
tuded disastrously for himself. He precip
itated the bloodiest massacre ever perpe
trated west of the Missouri, in which he
lost his life and the lives of all whites con
nected with his agency, except those of his
wife, daughter and a Airs. Price. These
thr»e ladies were made prisoners and suf
fered a fate of outrago and Indignity to
which death were; preferable. The Messiah,
Who is now promising u millennium to such
old cut-throats as Sitting Bull, Geronlino,
Jack, Diah, Colorow, Sa-rap-sah-patcli, Por
cupine and Big Beaver was prominent in
the White Kiver massacre."
CHARLEY KOSS.
The Kidnaped Boy Believed to Be Imprisoned
ia Boston.
New Toisk, Nov. 26.— World say 3:
It is more than probable that Charley Koss,
the loug lost kidnaped son of Christian K.
Ross, has at last been found. The detective
bureau at police headquarters seem reason
ably convinced that they have discovered
the boy. C. A. Grant, chief clerk of tlio Po
lice Commissioners of New York, feels no
hesitation in stating that he has located
Ckailey lloss in Boston, where be is impris
oned lor some crime. Grant's first clew
came from Miss Tale, who lives in Uarlem.
Her brother, Willie TV.te, lias been tho
chum for four years of a boy whom lie be
lieved to be. Charley Uoss, and who goes by
the name -of Charley McChristy. Ale-
Christy himself claims to be a lust boy. I lie
said to young Tute: ".My name is Charley
[toss. That 13 my right name, but I don't
want it to be known. In IS'J2, when the
Chicago World's Fair is running, I am co
ins to Chicago to open a silicon, and every
body in the world will come aud see m« just
like they eoino to see Steve Brodie." In
spector Byrnes has sent one of his men to
Boston with young Tale to see Charles Mo-
Christy.
Inspector Byrnes said to-day, when ques
tioned about the alleged Hading of Charley
!;.■-.-, that there appears to be something in
tin* story. One. ot Ills men is now in Boston
trying to unravel thu mystery, it being al
leged the buy id now doiug time iv out' of the
prison^ there.
A World's lio^tou dispatch says: In com
pany with a reporter, Christina K. lfo-s
reached Boston to-night, and an interview
was arranged with the boy, Charlie Me-
Christy, said to b-> the long lost Charlie
Koss. After an extended interview with
the boy Koss failed to ideutify Him, aid to
night he. still feels that he is no nearer his
c lii ld than before.
Boston-, Nov. 26.— Charles McChristy,
who is believed by some, people to be the
missing Charlie Boss, and who has been in
Charles-street Jail since November Bth,
awaiting trial ou charges of larceny, was
released this afternoon in £1800 bail, two
well-known newspaper men becoming his
bondsmen. His whereabouts is not made
public.
KNIGHTS OF li.IBOK.
Powderly D sirous of Janin<? I<aues With the
Firiners' Allisnc^"
Nkw Yohk, Nov. 26. — The Sun says word
has been received iv this city that Master
Workman I'owderly aud a committee of
Knights of L.ibor would be at Ocala, Fin.,
next Tuesday at the convention of the
Farmers" Alliance. It has been under
stood since election day that Powderly aud
his chief men of the Knights of Labor
would make every effort to obtain recogni
tion at the ron\ention. They have now
definitely determined to present themselves
aiui a*k to tw permilts'd to join issues witl->
the Allianre. l'owuerly mid his assistant
leaders think iiio best thing the Knights
can do is to join hands with the Alliance on
all questions and propositions advanced by
it. There is decided objection on tlie p.irt
of the Alliance to Powderly's securing re
cruits for li is organiz-ation iron; among
farm-hands. There would be danger that
these ia: ii -hand- would organize divisions
of their own among tin; Knights, aud un
der ttie Inspiration of Powderly insist on
higher wages Hiid shorter hours. The own
ers ut farms do not propose to have auy
strikes among their hands, particularly at

GROVER'S MISTAKE.
An 111-Advised Attack on Sen
ator Ingalls.
The Ex-President's Letter to Acres May
Act as a Boomerang.
Probable Line of Action Harrison Will
Urge the Republicans to Take During
the Coming Session.
Special to Thk Morning Call.
Washington, Nov. 26.— A great many
peopls in Washington are inquiring why
Cleveland wrote that letter to Acres of Kan
sas City, unless he wanted it published. He
and Acres art 1 uot intimate friends; they are
not eveu acquaintances. He never saw
Acres in his life, aud knew nothing about
him except that lie had a letter from Acres
aud felt moved to answer it. Upon what
principle of good taste or exvoliency did
Cleveland proceed to uncork the vials of his
secret feelings and empty them into the
bosom of unknown Acres? Only a little
more than two years ago Cleveland had oc
casion to pronouuee a very severe Judgment
upon a gentleman named Sackville West,
who answered a letter from a stranger iv
Los Angeles. How is it that wo find him in
dulging in that same blunder himsell '.' The
probability is that Cleveland thought bis
letter to Acies a uii;:hty fine tiling when he
wrote it, and contemplated with equanimity,
if not with pleasure, thu irospect of its
getting into priut. Publii: comment, how
ever, has changed his mind ns to the per
formance, and now he is jumping on Acres
fordoing exactly what ho might have been
expected to do. That gentleman no doubt
honestly thought he was carrying out his
correspondent's intentions. At any rate, it
will help Ingalls in his fight for the Senator
ship, iv the opinion of politicians in Wash-
ington.
In a letter lo a friend Senator Ingalls says:
"While the legislative situation Is not en
tirely satisfactory I feel confident of success
in January. It is not nearly as desperate »s
it was twelve ye;irs a/o. November 4th was
tbe Skirmish line. The clutrue of the old
guard will not occur until January."

A man who has the confidence of the Pres
ident s;ud to-day that Harrison would treat
the subject of protection in his message in a
similar vein to his previous utterances upon
this subject. lie will, in treating the general
subject of the tariff, reaffirm hi-> adhesion to

thousands were thereafter entertained with
a selection of operatic numbers and an ex
cellent olio, in which appeared all of the
leading contortionists, acrobats, club-swing
ers, skaters and trapeze artists in the city.
Meanwhile, the participants in the carnival
began to make their presence known, and
before the olio was half through the wings
aDd galleries were thronged with the but
terflies of i leasure, whose vari-colored at
tire and chic costumes gave a tone of their
own to the gathering. 'I he female form di
vine was there in all its glory, and a gener

on every side. For all that, so excellent
was tie management that not an unseemly
incident was recoided the whole night long.
The preliminary entertainment continued
until close upon 10 o'clock, and it was not
till half an hour later that King Carnival
entered and the grand march was begun. It
was a pretty pageant, and as it marched

Ceballos could not see him from the trapeze,"
but lie knew somebody was there, and ln>
spoke to him and told him to climb down by
the vet. Then Ceballos tried to climli t<> the
boy, but his added weiglit careened the bal

then he fell, grazing Ceballos ashe went
down. He struck on the ground and was

Constitutional Catarrh. , '•^
No single disease has entailed more suffering or .
hastened the breaking up or the constitution than f
Catarrh. The. sense or smell, or taste, of sight, of ..
hearing, the human voice, the mind— one or more -
and sometimes all yield to Its destructive influence. ' .
The poison It distributes throughout the system at- ■-
tacks every vital force and breaks up the most ..
robust of constitutions. Ignored, because but little ','
understood; by most physicians, iinpotently assailed •
by quacks and charlatans, those suffering from It-,
have little hope to be relieved of it this side of the-
grave. It is time, then, that the popular treatment • '
of this terrible disease by remedies within the reach, . .
or all passed Into bands at once competent and trust- •
worthy. The new and hitherto untried method ■ ■
adopted by Dr. Sanford In the preparation of his '
Raiiical Cure has won the hearty approval of
thousands. It Is Instantaneous In affording relief :
In all head cold.-*, sneezing, snuffling and obstructed ' .
breathing, and rapidly removes the moat oppressive " ,■
symptoms, clearing the head, sweetening the breath, : .
