Dunix, Nov. [Special Cableg 1# B, |—The Freeman's Journal, in o leading mrticle on Gladstone's letter, says “Gladstone, in his letter to Morley in regard to Parnell's position, nssumes that the Lrish partyis a portion of the liberal party and that the latter party is qualified to dopose the Trish leader or vetohis act. The principle of independent opposition would be isolated and broken down if this power of veto is ad- mitted.

Loxnos, Nov. has declined to convene a meecting of the nationalist mem- bers of the commons at the request of thirry- sight Parnellites, despite the fact that the rules of the party provide for the calling of a meeting when twenty members sign such 1 request. Several Parneliite members complain that they were not informed of all the fucts in connection with Gladstone's atti- tude toward Paruell, which was set forth in the former's letter to Morley, when they voted vesterday to vetain Parnell as leader of the Irish party, The majority of the nation- alists present at the nceting last, avening of the Parnellite members of the commons believed that if Gladston . letter to Morley had been read atthe morning meeting the result on the motion to retain Parnell in the leadership wonld have been different. Gladstone and Morley had a con- fevence this forenoon to consider the situa- tion arising from the re-clection of Parnell Although last night Parnell refused to call a mecting of the Irish members of congress, a mecting was held today, at which he pre. sided, There was a great divergence of opinion manifested throughout the discussion, buf no definite action was areed upon.

A decision to reassemble at 5 o'clock was caused by the hope that the dispatch would arrive in” the interval.

A Flutter in Chicago. Cmcaso, Nov. 26,—|Special Telegram to ! "Taxr Bex|—Quite a flutter was caused in Irish-Amorican circles in Chicazo today by ‘the publication of Mr. Gladstone's letter to Mr. Morley concerning the leadership of Parnell. It was generally felt that tho posi- tion taken by Gladstone practically puts an end to Paruell’s usefulness in public life for the preseut, butat the same time there was an undercurrent of belief that ho would con- tinue to be the chief guide of the parliumen- tary party in asecret way and would live to 00 his offenso condoned by ull classes of peo- ple aud eventually enjoy a veturn to public Aavor. Interviews with Irish-Americ national reputation on the wdvisability of Parucll's retirement, elicited the following sentiments : Hon. W.J. Hynes—I think that the senti- ments of Glaastone and his followers ought ' 10 be respectod, and 1 have the confidence in "Tuz B the patriotism and juggment of Parnell to bc-‘l ligve that he will do what is best. ‘Hon, John I, Scanlon—Mr. Parnell has dono more for the Irish people, considering theiv &ituation and make-up, than any wau that ever assumed to lead their cause. But recag- nizing the peeuliar position of Mr. Gladstone and the social orgunization of the Euglish mplh I have been fearful that Mr. Glad- no would be compelled to do wbat ho has idone. As national results must always come Trom a oomxmml-e of opposite parties, I ‘tiuk it would be unwise for the Irish party to clash with Mr. Gladstone on this question. The outcome will be that for a few months Mr. mwfllwl\'e pl;l\'uuhlml\'lw :o ::m party.

So I say that the Trish poople owe him such adebt that it does not lie in their mouths to condemn him, and Ithink that it is a very handsome evidence of the Jovalty of the Irish members to their friends that they should stand by him in this hour of teial.

A grave crisis s un- doubtedly caused by Gladstone's lotter but the Ivish members may bo rélied on toact with patriotism. Parnell and the Irish party will decide the question pre- sented to them by Gladstone's letter apart from auv personal consideraticn whatever and wholly on considerations for the best in- torests of the cause which is the most sacred coneern of their lives, As to the probable de- cision of the party, Gill would give no opinon He added that when Parnell’s mouth un- dthe judgment which had been formed now would be presented in a different light Gill feels confident the next few days will allow all parties to consider the situation coolly and m possible a cordial under- standing betwveen the English aad Irish home rulers in a manuer gratifying to the grand old man and honorable to_the Irish people ang Parnell.

W. J. Quinn, attorney for Armour & Co., today said : *“That decision was fully expected. It in fact only reaffirms the principle laid down heretofore by both state and federal courts that statesaws cannot prohibit interstate commerce. Some time ago a number of states passed laws probibiting the sale of dressed meats taken from carcasses that had mnot been inspected alive within the bounderies of said states, The United States supreme court declared those laws unconstitutional and the principle involved was the same as in the present case.” “What other states will this discussion affect!” ““The other states having prohibiting laws are Maine, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. The same principle applics to all of thew, and when this decision is affirmed the United States supreme court the effect will be to open those states to the sale of oleomargarine. Of course the immediate re- sult of the decision will betoopen the market in Miunesota.”” e The Lymph Under Discussion, Benuiy, Nov. 25.—[Speeial Cablegram to —=Dr. Gerhardt, in a lecture to physicians upon Prof. Koeh's discovery, showed several patients whohad experienced no reaction with fever after an injection of the curative lymph. Dr. Gerhardt stated that a case could not be diagnosed upon the absence of fever after the first injection, The reaction, he said, depended upon tho patient’s constitution. Arrungements are being made for the hold- ing of a torchlight procession of students in honor of Prof. Koch. Dr. Levy, Prof. Koch's assistant, has written a_letter to the National Zeitung with reference to the charge that his secretary had demanded fromn a private patient in the Davos sanitarium, who was suffering from phthisis, & fec of #00 marks for each injection of the lymph.

An Outline of the Work He Proposes for the Bession, PROBABLE ACTION OF THE DEMOCRATS. How a Riot Was Prevented and the Dignity of the Chair Preserved ~Anxious Abont the Sil- ver Question. Forrreeyta STREET, Wasmxaron, D, C., Nov. 6. Speaker Reed, atter a consultation with Mr. McKinley, Mr. Cannon and other lead- ing meribers of the bouse, has laid out the work of the session. Ttincludes besides the regular appropriation bills the reapportion- ment bill; the cireuit court bill, which re- lieves the supreme court and which caae buck to the house after veing amended by the senate, and a bill for the reliof for the ship- ping of the country. Whether this will be senutor I'rye's bill for mail subsidies between Centrai and South Am or the Farguhar bill giving a bounty of 3) cents & ton upon all shipping is w question, It has been decided not to attempt to pass any more general pen- sion bills in this congress, but the prisoners of war pension bl i3 likely to reccive some attention, This is the republican programmo in the house and the demoerats will make no objection to it except so far as the reapportionment bill is concorned. at they will never allow to pass, first, because they are opposed on gen- eral principles to letting the republicans make the reapportionment, sccond, because they will huve control of the house of reprosenta- tives next year and will have an opportunity to make Ihe reapportionment themselves, and third, because they lack, or claim to lack, confidence in the census, The republicans will_doubtless make astout fight for their bill, but the democrats can defent it by filli- bustering even if theie other arguments do not hold. Their first act will be to cause an investigation of the ccusus, and they will not permit the bill to be considered until the com- mittee that makes such an investigation has submitted its report. Again they have along line of precodents to_sustain them, No can- gress ever pussed a_re-apportionment bill at the session” immediately following a census. A year has always elapsed before such log lation und to . b forcing an issue that the republicans can- not very well sustain. In fact the democrats will not permit it One of the leaders of that party said today that Speaker Reed was treated with groat toleration during the last session but he wouldnot be treated with s much during the next. If he attempts to make the same arvitrary rulings, and 1f republicans show the same disposition to cut off debate on import- ant measuves, this gentloman says thero will be a disturbance such #s was never seen in the house of representatives be- fore. It has been disclosed recent- ly that Senator Gorman, Representatives Crisp, Breckinridge and Flower and one or two other cool-headed men prevented a riot during the cousideration of the contested election cases last session. Bynum of Indiana Rogers of Arkansas, Kilgore of Texas and oue or two other southerners were already to use violence with the speaker and drag, him from his chair wheneveran excuse was offered them. The gentlemen named, realizing the effect of such an incident upon the country stepped in and by their persuasion preventer the plat from being carried out. The demo- crats are feeling so cocky aud independent that it will be difficult to prevent a racket of this Kind if occasion offers duving the com ing session. In the Reed-McKinley pro- gramime there is no provision mado for th passage of asilver bill, but it is highly prob able that the silver leaders on the republican side of the house will join those who believe with them on the” democratic side in order to secure free coinage levisla- tion. 1t is believed that Scnator Stewart will open the campaign immedintely upon the meeting of congress by introducing a free coinage bill in the senato and demanding an immediate vote on it. 1If such a bill overgets through the senats it will be impossible to provent its ety by the house. During the last session, when Speaker Reed’s power was at its best, it was with great difficulty that the free coinage bill, which was passed by the senate by acombina- tion between a few republicans and the dem- ocrats, was kept from going through the house. Mr. Reed then threw his bulky form in the way and members of bis party did not cure to attempt to mde over bim.

SILVER MEN ACTIVE. The rally in the price of silver in the Noew York market within the past few days has set the silver wen to working hard on the passage of a free coinage billat this sessien. There are a half dozen leaders here in town at the present moment and they are working an active campaign in the interest of the unlimited coinage of silver. 1Itis under- stood that the president in his forthcoming message 1o congress vakes the ground that no | further legislation on this subject should be enaoted by the present congress, and it is thought by some of the eastern men that any suceessful attempt in this direction will be impossible. Notwithstanding this feeling, however, such men as A, J. Warner of Ohio and others who are in the advance rauk of pro-sily senate is ready to pass a free coinage bill and there are probubly enough men in the house in favor of the idea to put a bill throughif it can only be reached, and the only question at issue therefore is whather or uot. the oppor- tunitity will be afforded for carrying out the Programme.
