The Topic That is Engaging the Attention of London. Loxpox, Dec. 2.—It is expected that a gen- eral meeting of the liberal members of the house of commons and the house of lords will shortly be held to consider the political situa- tion. Mr. Henry Labonchere and Prof. Stuart have iseued a card denying the statement made by Mr. Parnell that they were engaged in in- trignes with the anti-Parnellite section of the Trish members of the house of commons. ‘A dispatch from Rome says that the vatican Fern ts SCOTT'S EMUL-| iMfluences had much to do with the sudden SION of Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites of Lime and Sods.

Cummings and Flower directing that s recount be made. Mr. Flower was the spokesman for the delegation and Mr. W. MeM. Speer, the mayor's private secretary, was also present. Thedelegation asked the com- mittee to give them a hearing at which they might present the grounds upon which the re- pr net sre hod ris ml a ‘TO HAVE A HEARING FRIDAY. Chairman Dupnell of the committee, in re- sponse, said he thought the request should be granted, and Friday at 10 o’olock was fixed as the date for the hearing. At that time a com- mittee will be here from New York with affi- davits from every man left off the federal cen- sus enumeration lista in the second ward of New York, which is the only enumeration dis- trict for which the returns have been furnished by the superintendent of the census to the New fork municipal authorities. * LEFT OFF THE LIST. ‘These affidavits will be signed by 450 heads of families, who make oath that they were present in the city in June Ins( when the fed- eral enumeration was taken apd that no enu- merator called upon them. ‘\he New York authorities have called upon the census office for the returns from four more enumeration districts and have is the monty for tran- scribing the names, but have not yet been fur- nished with the lists requested. Mr. Cummings said that the delegation would, therefore, ask the committee, upon proot ‘of the thoroughness of the police count in the second ward and the inaccuracy of the federal count,to admit their claim with respect to the federal count of the entire city. ‘THE BROOKLYN coUsT.

In the matter of the estate of Michael Talty, in which a paper has been propounded as the will, by which M. F.

They admit the death of their father on October 6th Inst: that a paper has been pro- pounded for probate as the will, and a caveat cont the will of said paper has been filed by James Anewering the petition that the paper is the valid will of Michael Talty, they say that while they have not contested the same they ure compelled to state the truth to be that at the time of the execution of the will Michael Talty was and had been for a long time of weak and unsound mind and was at the date of the alleged execution incapable of mak- ing a valid will, And since they have been called to answer under oath they state that their information is to the effect that the said instrament was procured by undue influence exerted over the said Michael Talty by the pe- titioner, Mary Ellen Prince, and others. eerste Bag FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Among the various communications and pe- titions presented and referred were numerous petitions for the amendment of the tariff bill by providing for the rebate on manufactured tobacco, and one from an old lady in Vermont 105 years of age, with photagraph attached, ask- ing for a pension. Also one from Hilton Rowan Helper asking for the appointment of a commission to ascer- tain detinitely who. first proposed the Pan American railway; also one from Nebraske for the disarmament’ of the Sioux Indians, and quegesting that they be deprived of their horses and furnished with oxen in lien of them. Also the annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury. NEW BILLS. Among the bills introduced and referred were two (by Messrs. Blair and Dawes) as to the eight-hour labor law; one by Mr. Sherman relating to the treaty of reciprocity with the Hawaiin ls; one by Mr. ‘Teller to declare the unit value in the Uniged States and to provide free coin: for the standard silver dollar; one by Mr. Plumb silver bullion; for the free coinage of gold and one by Mr. Daniel to allow a rebate or draw: back ‘on tobacco and snuff held in stock on January 1, 1891, and one by Mr. Ingalls author- fing the Secretary of Agriculture to distribute seed to the citizens of Kansas and Nebraska who have suffered from drought during the present year. DISARMAMENT OF INDIANS. Mr. Manderson offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling on the Secretary of War for information as to the steps being taken for the disarmament of Indians on reservations in Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota.

Mr. Mitchell offered aeresolution, which was agreed to, instructing the committee on for- eign relations to inquire into the advisability of the passage of a law authorizing a survey for a traue-Pacific submarine ‘cable ‘telegreph from some point on the Pacific coast to the Hawaiian Islands and thence by Samoa and New Zealand to Australia, aud to encourage the formation of accompany for tht purpose.

Senate bill donating to Clallam county, in the state of Washington, for public buildings, the Proceeds of the nale of certain public lands. ‘THE ELECTION BILL TAKEN UP. At the expiration of the hour devoted to the calendar Mr. Hoar moved to proceed to the consideration of the House bill to amend and supplement the clection laws of the United States and to provide for the more efficient en- forcement of such laws. Mr. Gorman demanded the yeas and nays on that motion. whe yeas and nays were taken, and the vote (a strictly party one) resulted: Yeas, 41; nays, 3 So the election bill was taken up and the clerk begun to read it. Mr. Hoar ieee that instead of the origi- nal House bill being read the substitute re- ported by the Senate committee on privileges and elections be read. ‘THE HOUSE PILL READ. Several democratic Senators expressed dis- sent to that proposition and Mr. Harris said: “No! no! let the original House bill be read.” So the clerk proceeded with the reading of the original House bill. ‘THE EIGHT-HOUR LIEN LAW. The reading went on monotonously and to 00° | empty chairs up to 2 o'clock when, under the rules of the Senate, the “unfinished business” from the last session came up, being the House bill providing for the adjustment of accounts of laborers, workmen and mechanics arising under the eight-hour law.

ProPerty MR, WHEELER SAYS THE TARIFF ACT I8 A NULLITY. In the discussion of the bill Mr. Wheeler (Ala.), taking advantage of a recognition, pro- ceeded to argue that the omission of section 30 of the tariff bill from the enrolled copy ren- dered the entire bill a nullity. In vain did the Speaker endeavor to confine Mr. Wheeler's remarks to bill un- der discussion, Mr. Wheeler contending that his romarks were pertinent in so far ax the pending mensure involved an expenditure of money, the money which was to be raised by the tariff act. ‘The Speaker suggested that the measure in- volved no expenditure of money, but Mr. Wheeler controverted this point. Mr. Stone of Kentucky (in charge of the bill) made the point of order that the gentleman from Alabama must confine himsdlf to. the measure under consideration. AN APPEAL TO MB. WHEELE! The Speaker was inclined to sustain the point, but first appealed to the gentleman from Alabama to proceed in order. The gen- tleman would understand how difficult it was to pass judgment ax to whether a member Was addressing himself to the pending question, but every member was as much obliga tion to the House to confine himself to the question as the Speaker was to attempt to con- ine him, Finally Mr. Stone yielded ten ntinutes to Mr. Wheeler, who proceeded to quote precedents in support of his position that the whole tariff bifl was a mullity. ‘The Dill was passed.

It was almost midnight last night when the famous Indian fighter and a Stan re- Porter—both in the general's room in the Ebbitt House—discussed the condition of af- fairs in South Dakota, Montana and Nebraska. * " ‘THE DANGER NOT EXAGGERATED. + “The seriousness and danger of the situation have not been exaggerated,” said the general. The disaffection is more widespread than it has been at any time for years. The conspiracy extends to more different tribes that have here- toforé been hostile, but that are now in full eym- pathy with each other and are scattered over a ger aren of country than in the whole his- tory of Indian warfare. It is @ more compre- hensive plot than anything ever inspired by the het, Tecumseh or even Pontiac. “The causes of this dificul cation. Insufficient food supplies, religi delusion and the innate — of the say- age to go to war must be held responsible.” THE MILITARY NOT QUITE READY. “Are the campaign preparations on the part of the government complete?” asked the re- porter. “NOt quite,” thing’ will be is possible is being done to encourage the loyal and reduce the number and influence of the hostile, and in this way an outbreak may be averted. I sin- cerely hope there will be no hostilities, for a eneral uprising would bes most serious af- fair.” FOUR THOUSAND FIGHTING INDIANS TO ENCOUNTER. “How many Indians will you have to contend with?” “Altogether there are in the northwest about 80,000 who aro affected by the Messiah craze; that means fully 6,000 fighting men. Of this number at least one-third would not go on the warpath, so that leaves us with about 4,000 ad- versaries. There are 6,000 other Indians in Indian territory who will need to be watched if active operations take place. Four thousand Indians can make an immense amount of trou- ble. But a tithe of that number were con- cerned in the Minnesota marsacre, yet thoy killed more than 500 settlers in a very brief space of time. “What is the total strength of your force?” MORE CAVALRY NEEDED. Gen. Miles avoided the question somewhat by referring to the great necessity which existed for more cavalry. “Altogether,” he said, “we have about 2,000 mounted men. We have plenty of infantry, but yon cannot catch mounted Indians with white foot soldiers. The infantry had one or two good fights in 1876 and "71, but quch engugemonts are rare in frontier e. re “Is it not a novel proceeding for Indians to go on the warpath at the beginning of winter queried the reporter. t is,” replied the gen- “Yes, in some respect: eral jpibelr argument is good. though. They are better armed now than they ever were and their supply of horvos is all that could be de- sired. Every buck has a Winchester rifle, and he knows how to use it. In the matter of sub- sistence they are taking but little risk. They can live on cattle just as well as they used toon buffalo, and the numerous horse ranches will farnieh them with fresh stock when cold and starvation rain their mounts. ‘The northern Indian is hardy and can suffer a great deal. ‘These hostiles have been starved into fighting, and they will prefer to die fighting rather than starve peaceably. HOPES THERE WILL BF No FIGHTING. “I hope the problem may be solved without bloodshed, but such a happy ending to the trouble seems improbable. An outbreak would cost the lives of a great many brave men and the destruction of hundreds of homes in the northwest. If peace is possible we will have it.” LOCAL LEGISLATION.

In the Senate today things started off with a rush for the District. The following resolution and bills of local interest were introduced: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. By Mr. Cameron, a resolution providing that the commission in regard to the Government Printing Office be called on to state whether they have determined upon a location for the office and if #0, whether the same is 40 located as to be available for use in connec- tion with existing facilities and also if the loca tion selected can be secured at a reasonable price and also whether it possesses the neces- sary area and is available for the deep founda- tion needed. EXTENSION OF MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE. ‘Mr. Faulkner introduced a bill authorizing the extension of Massachusetts avenue and the construction of a bridge across Rock creek or Massachusetts avenue extended. The bill di- reets the Commissioners to grade and macad- amize Massachusetts avenue extended from Rock creck to the American University, on the Loughborough road and appropriates: dollars for the purpose. A bridge is also to be constructed across Rock Creek of iron or ma- sonry, and_ $175,000 is appropriated for the urpose. “Half of all cost is to be paid by the A survey is to be made at once, and the ad- vertisements for bids are to be inserted in one or more daily papers. No bridge is to be built until the right of way for the extension of the avenue is assured. TWO DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS A QUORUM. Mr. Ingalls introduced a joint resolution to overcome some of the difficulties of the Com- missioners. It provides that two of the Com- missioners shall constitute a quorum, and that in ease of the absence of the Engineer Commis- sioner his assistant shall perform all the duties imposed by law upon said Commissioner. WARRANTS FOR PARDON. ‘Mr. Faulkner introduced a bill by request of Attorney General Miller providing for the issuing and recording of warranty for pardon in the Department of Justice. WASUINGTON BARRACKS AND FORT GRANT. ‘Mr. Barbour introduced a bill providing for the sale at auction of the property known as the United States barracks’ property at the southern extremity of 434 street west. If-the Secretary of War thinks best before selling he is to have the property subdivided. The bill furdh er provides for the erection at Fort Myer of the bi Sir Blackburn introduced» bill for the ebony Be! 500 additional the report of ith officer of the A RAILROAD TO ENTER THE DISTRICT. ‘The House was also active today in regard to District interests.

FEARS THAT HE MAY NOT SURVIVE. ‘This morning there was no change in the patient's condition, and the gravest fears were entertained that the shock might have a fatal termination. rs. Staunton and now NO BETTER TODAY. While there has been no decided change in Surgeon General Baxter's condition today he is still im an extremely critical condition and grave are yet entertained by his physi- cians poe recovery. The of his right side (not left as stated) is completely paralyzed and he has at no Tegained consciousness since the stroke. He is resting easily, but shows no sign of returning consciousness. Senators Dolph, Platt, Hawley and others have been in almost constant attendance at his home on Connecticut avenue, and Secretary Proctor and the staff officers of the army ‘have been among the many callers to inquire as to his condition. gee REPRESENTATIVE CRISP TALKS. His Views as to the Late Election and Other Matters. None of the re-elected members of Congress seem to be in better physical or mental condi- tion than Representative Crisp of Georgia. Many democrats and perhaps the majority of republicans regard him as the best man in the next House to fill the chair now occupied by Speaker Reed. For this honor Mr. Crisp is a candidate, but he says nothing of his plans or his chances; simply smiles acquiescence in pretty nearly everything that is said. ‘THE REAPPORTIONMENT BILL. “This promises to be a busy session,” said he ton Sram reporter last night. “Just now it would be somewhat difficult to predict as to the measure which will give us most work, but I suppose it will be the reapportionment bill. ‘That will donbtless be pansel, and it may be that the Senate will make law of the force bill. We need not anticipate any great amount of disturbance over the reapportionment bill. If tho measure is constructed on a fair basis there will be nothing in it for any reasonable man to object to. In many sections the passage of the bill would be of considerable advantage to the democratic party, for it now controls several legislatures not. ordinarily of that political complexion. With a combination of demo- cratic legislature and reapportionment. bill some of the newly captured states might easily be redistricted. CENSUS COMPLAINTS. “It is not improbable that this session will cause the census burean some uneasiness. Complaints from New York as to the inaccu- racy of that city’s census are too numerous to be disregarded, and the testimony of the police census seems to be convincingly strong. “Was the Georgia census satisfactory? I think so. There was a little dissatisfaction in some of the towns because the figure come up to expectation, but it was only ‘na whole 1 think the’ census in Georgia was fair and accurate. It was taken by a good class of men. EFFECT OF THE ELECTION BILL IN THE SOUTH. “Don't ask me what was the cause of the earthquake on the 4th. It was totally in- explicable as a general thing. Different locali- ties were differently affected. There are in this Congress twenty-three or twenty-four southern republicans. In the next Congres ere will be jnst four, and the force bill did it. Ie absolutely paralyzed the republican party in e south. “It has been claimed that there was ge ublican apathy, but the figures published Terdly support tha¢elaim. ‘There was undoubt- edly a very light negro vote. For some reason or other was an utter absence of enthu- siasm among the negroes, and the white repub- licans were very much because colored followers failed to take part in the elec tion. No matter how it came about, it was great victory. MERCY FOR CRIMINALS. Pardons Granted and Sentences Commuted by the President. ‘The President has commuted to three years’ imprisonmen? tho four years’ sentence im- posed on Henry Pyfer, convicted of violating the pension laws. Pardons have been denied in the cases of Waddy T. Aiken, convicted in South Carolina of illicit distilling, and Henry Sanderson, con- vieted in Alabama of violating the revenue laws. The sentence in the ense of Charles M. Amyot, convicted in California of smuggling, was commuted to fifteen months actual im- prisonment. ‘The sentence in the case of Herman F. Thorup, convicted in Utah of unlawful cohabi- tation, was commuted to three months. PARDOXS GRANTED. Pardons hfive been granted in the case of F. W. Smith, convicted in Minnesota of violating the postal laws; in the case of Andrew’ McDon- Michigan of on py ope convicted in Arizona of robbing the mai and in the case of George G. Collins, convic' in New York of a scheme to defraud. THF INDIAN TROUBLE. ‘The Situation Unchanged—Gen. Miles Still inthe City. Gen. Miles is still in Washington and there is no definite time fixed for his return to the west. ‘The dis from. the troubled region re- ceived this morning indicate that the situation is unchanged from yesterday, and nothing positive seems to be known of the intentions of ‘the 600 Indians who have left the White River agency for the “bad lgnds.” Four companies of cavalry have been ordered to go from Fort Leavenworth to the Indian region, and are now on their way.

COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS AND OTHERS BEFORE ‘THE SUBCOMMITTEE TODAY — THE TREASURY ESTIMATES WILL PROBABLY BE CLOSELY FOL- LOWED BY OTHER BILLS OF DISTRICT Discussing estimate items and «nch pleasant little things is not a very exciting business, but all the morning the subcommittee of the House propriations committee in charge of the of Columbia appropriation Dill sat around a table and discussed the Dis- trict estimates. Commissioner tives of the engineer force ex- Pressed their views, and the result altogether was a cheerful little symposium in which dol- lars and cents, charitios and streets, sewers and electric lights constituted the program. Last week the subcommittee held two meetings and discussed the bill, and with the long conference today the committes is something over half- way through the estimates. Tomorrow the good work will be continued and in all prob- ability by adjournment tomorrow the Com- missioners will have been pumped dry. SHOULD BE REPORTED THIS WEEK. The committee will then give a couple of | ™ days to public hearing on the bill, after which the final arrangements will be perfected rap- idly and the bill should be re either the lust part of this week or the first part of next. The work of the committee is not yet in such shape as to judge how closely the estimates will be followed in the reported bill. The treasury estimates are nearly precisely the same as the Commissioners’ estimates, and in all probabil- ity the reported bill will follow very closely the treasury estimates. Commissioner Douglass said to a Srax reporter today that the estimates had been shaved down to the lowest ible ure and that in his opinion the bill would follow very closely on the estimates. WHAT MR. M'COMAS RAYS. Noone on the committee or in © takes more interest in the District than does Mr. McComas. He said today that the bill was advancing rapidly and wouki soon be reported. He was not prepared at present to say as to how closely the estimates would be followed. The committee today discussed the estimates on streets and roads. BILLS OF DISTRICT INTEREST. There are a large number of bills on the calen- dar of the House which are of District interest, having been reported by the committee on the District. Among these are bilis providing for 8 girl's reform school, for a system of highways outside the city limits, authorizing the appoint- ment of a samitury engineer, wuthorizing a sur- vey and plan for ® bridge across the Eastern branch at South Capitol street, incorporating the Georgetown and Arlington Railway Oom- paz creating the office of inspector of straw, grain, 4c., regulating steam ering, incorporating the Crosstown rail- way, incorporating the District of Columbia Suburban Railway Company, regulating the sale of tickets on street railways, authorizii the construction of the Potomac ltiver railroad, incorporating the Columbia Central Railway Company, incorporating the Trans-Anacostia railway, incorporating the Washington and Benning Railway Company, to improve car service on 14th street, for the regulation of dentistry in the city, amending the charter of the Anacostia and Potomac Railway Company, incorporating the Washington and Highlan railway, relating to junk dealers and pawn- brokers, ‘to punish the carrying ‘of deadly weapons. SHALL PARNELL RETIRE? Congressman Lawler Gives His Views Upon the Subject. HE DOES NOT THINK THE LEADERS IN IRELAND SHOULD BE INFLUENCED BY OPINIONS ON THTS SIDE—WHAT MANY IRISH-AMERICANS IN THIS CIty THINK. Among the best known of Irish-Americans in Congress is Frank Lawler of Chicago. Mr. Lawler said toa Stax reporter today that the question of what action should be taken in view of the Parnell exposure was purely a question for the Irish leaders in Ireland to decide. “I donot think,” said the Congressman, “that the decision of these leaders should be in- fluenced by opinions expressed on this side of the water. They must look — into the matter and decide what is best for the cause and their de- cision will be resptcted. I have always becn an ardent admirer of Parnell, but I will say this: “The Irish people in my opinion are too virtuous a race to overlook the outcome of the O'Shea trial.” NOT DEPENDENT ON PARNELL. “I think,” said Mr. Dennis Connell, a promi- nent Irish-American citizen of the District toa Sram reporter, “that Parnell made a great mistake in revealing state secrets. Mr. Glad- stone has been a great friend of the Irish peo- for years, and when Mr. Parnell made pub- lic what had passed between Mr. Gladstone and himself he betrayed a great public trust. “Why need the people ‘so much on Parnell? There are plenty of leaders. If I had had « say in the matter Parnell would have turned the leadership of the party over to Gladstone, who can do more than all others SSS3 pita to Mr. Parnell isi see no reason why that | should» make ® martyr.
