GOVERNOR HILL A CANDIDATE THE LIMERICK MEETING. Preparations Belng Made for an Ovation to Parnell. Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star. ‘Lueerick, Jan. 10.—Mr. Parnell has arranged. toleave Dublin this afternoon for Limerick and elaborate arrangements have been made here for his reception and escort to the hotel since the ex-Irish leader has visited this city on 8 political mission, and the occasion will be an eventful one. Great preparations have been made for the meeting which he will address to- morrow. it will be held in the open air and be presided over by tho mayor, sup by the leading men of tho cityand county. To accommixiate the throngs in adjoining towns that desire to bear him’ special trains will be run. Prict to the meeting thero will be a proces- sion com of trade asvociations and other bodies. It will be formed after the conclusion of mase and mareh through the princi streets. ‘There has becn some talk of an oppo- sition demonstration engineered by several bya torchlight procession.

Upon that point there is tion committos Dut little donbt. ‘The investiga has completed ite work, and while ite members have as yet made no report, it is thoroughly understood that the colonel will be exonerated. The ‘tosti- mony of the officers and soldiers of the seventh cavalry leaves no other course open. Inquiry shows conclusively that no soldier was killed by the fire of another. The charge that this was done formed the nub of that com- plaint that the troops were improperly placed. It seems to be the impression among all army officers that Col. Forsythe did wonders of or- ganization in the midst of great confusion. The testimony of Nolan and Lieut. Nicholson went to show that the men when fr- tinually called to oné another saying: “Don't shot in that dircction. There are women.” A commissioned officer swore to the same thing, and it was shown fairly and con- clunively that when the sex of the enemics was known accurately the fire of the troops was di- rected nce: iy.

Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star, Pants, Jan. 10.—The murderer Eyraud is greatly agitated over the prospect of being tried for another crime before his execution. The police are actively investigating the case of M. Breuil, whose name Eyraud assumed for the Gouffe tragedy. Breuil was in America two years ago, but his relatives have not heard irom him since. They hold the theory that he was done to death by Eyraud while absent from France. Eyrand admits having known Breuil. The French government is about to inatitute inquiries in America with a view to Breuil’s fate. ——_—— HILL'S INTENTION, The Conviction is Growing at Albany That He Will Be » Candidate for Senator. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Atzaxy, N.¥., Jan. 10.—The conviction is growing here that Gov. Hill will decide next week to become a candidate for United States Sen- ator, and, in that event, be will of course be elected. ‘The matter was discussed by the governor's friends in New York on ‘ednesday and the opinion was unanimous that he should accept the office.

In the early dealings there were further sharp ad- vances in a few stocks and exceptional anima- tion in St. Paul, Lichmond and West Point and suger refineries. The rise in the latter was continued with vigor and after opening 14 per cent higher at 67}, it rose 2 per cent farther to 69'{. Oregon improvement in the meantime advanced 154; Colorado coal, 154: Lake Shore, | 3, and the remainder of the list emaller frac- | tions. ‘The sharp demand then fell away and the market became more quiet. while recessions in everything followed. Sugar retired to 684; and Colorado Coal lost 3% per cent, but the others showed only slight concessions and the strong tone of the market quickly reasserted itecif in most of the list still higher prices were reached later in the hour. Chicagoand Illinois preferred rose };, but the movement in the rest of the list was very moderate. At 11 o'clock the market was active and strong at the best ices reached. Money has been easy at 3 per cent with no loans. ‘The stock market continued active after 11 o'clock, but the upward movement made but slight progress in anything but sugar refineries and a few specialties in which sharp gains were scored. The publication of the bank statement however, with its heavy gains in the surplus re- az | terve, by which it is increased to over $13,000,- 000, infused new life into buying and the’ inst few minutes of business advanced more rapidly. ‘The best prices of the day were made at about the last dealings and the close was active and very strong.

A BIT. i i Pocaretto, Ipauo, Jan. 10.—Reports of any serious trouble or feurs of au outbreak among the Indians on the Fort Hall reservation sur- rounding this place are utterly without founda- tion in fact. A visit to Blackfoot, on the edge of the reser- vation, and at the ry itself, fails to reveal any cause of ap) rekension. While the Zadians lave bean dancing, these demonstrations par- take of the sme character. as those held every year time. ‘The Indians on the reservation are Shoshones and Bannocks, the former being a peaceable tribe and greatly in the majority. ‘The Ban- hocks are warriors, but could not muster more than seventy-five fighting bucks. Agent Fisher does not consider there is any cause for alarm. It is reported that troops from Boise City have been ordered here, but as no necessity exists for thelr presence steps ‘hare heen taken to have tho order revoked. MORE INDIANS DANCING.

Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star. Loxpox, Jan. 10.—The general beliof here is that the much heralded Boulogne conference has ended in ® fiasco, #0 fur as theevolving of any basis of permanent union between the Irish factions is concerned. The ditticulties referred to by Mr. Dillon are construed to be those that Mr. O'Brien has encountered in try- ing to win over the McCarthyites to his way of thinking. |The fact seems to, be that those nationalist who refuse longer to acknowledge Mr. Parnell as leader will not agree to the com- promise whatever it may have been that con- stituted the basis of the agreement between the two conferees. Indeed, Mr. O'Brien is openiy aconsed of being now engaged in playing Mr. Parnell's game, it being alleged that the latter proposed to make certain concessions at the conference on conditions that he knewin advance it would be impossible for the McCarthyites to accept, but thathe made them because he desired to throw the onus of a refusal upon them, and thus force Wm.

MB. MORGAN POR FREE COINAGE. The Senate at 1:15 resumed consideration of the finance bill (or of the anti-contraction bill, as Me.

He referred, with a high encomium, to a| dy speech made by the Inte Senator Beck in sup- port of a bill introduced by him on March 43, 1888, the second section of which provided that in all future issues of treasury certificates “coin certificates” should be substituted for certificates” and for “silver certificates.” Gil.

Having read copiously from Mr. Beck's speech Mr. Morgan yielded the floor tempora- Tily and Mr. Dawes presented a conference re- port on the bill to carry outin part the pro- Visions of the act to divide ‘the "Sioux Indian reservation; and in response to a quotation by Mr. Edinunds, made an explanation. He said that the comnyission of which Gen. Crook was the head had promised the Sioux Indians in the course of the negotiations to use its infla- the | ence at Washington for the redress of certain grievances. ‘The commission had subsequently met forty representative Sioux Indians from the reservation where the war now was to | all sce to it that those outside assurances were car- ried out.

As the bill now stood: (with that carried out to the letter not only the assur- ances of the commission, as the commis- sion understood them, but also precisely as the Indians themselves understood them. So that with the original bill and with the pending bill all the stipulations of the ‘agreement and all the assurances of the com- mission would be fulfilled and there could be no re ground on which the Indians could complain of government in any matter out of which the existing disturbances had arisen. The conference report was agreed to; and Mr. Morgan resumed the floor on the financial bill, continuing to read from Mr. Beck's speech onthe point, prineipally, of the demonctiza- tion of silver.

There were crevices an inch or more wide between the boards through which park residents got narrow views of the Howardtown settlement beyond and the people of Howardtown might get equally narrow views of the exclusive resi- dents of Le Droit Park.
