The Session to Begin in ‘This City Nest Monday—Powers Takes the Stand on His Own Behalf. Liscory, Neb., Dec. 11,—{Special to Trr Ber. | —The Lineoln session of the great elec- tion contest adjourned at noon today until mber 10, at 10 a. m. Commenc- , December 15, a session will be held in Omaha, where testimony in rebut will be taken. Attorney Lamb, in speaking of the matter, says: “Itis all right for the other fellows to have a chance to present, tostimony It is now no secret that w merely attempting to prove ‘organized violence in Omaba, We have witnesses who 1 swenr there was violencoe used in thivty- five of the forty-one precincts in Omaha. There are many more wituesses wo could produce, particularly clerks, but as it would Smperil their business® intorests and not help us any, we will not ask them to testing Mr. Harwood says in regard to the “notice served on Powers that testimony in rebuttal is to be taken in Omaha on the 15th mevely as @ precautionary measure, It will deter the attorney for the independents from claiming that they have been taken by surpris Mr. Powers declared toduy in conversation that the notice had not been” served on him yet and acted as though he deewed this slight a vital oversight. His attorneys were asked concerniug the matter and they snid that notice had been served on them and that was all that was necessary In conversation with your correspondent Mr. Powers made the significant remark that if Douglas ccunty was thrown out he sould be governor *‘In addition to this,” he added, **all the other candidates on the dependent ticket will be elected.” This srobably explains the efforts made by M l‘u\\'v‘r»’ attorneys to show violence in” ever precinet in Douglas county on election day. The first witness examined today was Thomas Niles of Weeping Water. He testi- fled that he isan Irishman and has been in this country four years. He is clerk of the quarry company av Weeping Water. A Jarge number of foreigners work for the company. Several naturalization _papers were cived by witness before election. Witness was interested in the anti-prohib tion ause and voted for Boyd. The workmen were absent from work long gnough to vote on election day. He didn’t Juow how many of those naturalized voted, nor for whom they cast their ballots. Allen Bartley of Omaha testitied that he was peddling republican tickets ‘favoring the amendment. 1d Crowell said to witne: that the tickets were bozus and nobody but a dog would peddiethem. Witness intimated that Crowell was no gentleman for so talkin Crowell struck witness for this, and yet Crowell was not. arre It appeared to witness that the polico were in sympathy with Crowell and his confreres, Witness was allowed to vote unmolested. A. L. Dickover, propri restaurant in Omaba, was examined. In his opinion the public opinion in Omaha, preced- ing the late election, was almost unanimous in opposition to the independent ticket and to the carse of prohibition. There was a de- cided hostility, the witness said to all persons Kknown to be prohibitionists. “I was boy- cotted in my business on account of my pro- hibition orinciples. To the best of my knowledge the number of my daily patrons was reduced a hundred, more or less. during the campaign as the result of this boyeott.” The witness voted, casting his ballot for Powers, without molestation, though he was hooted by the crowd upon leaving the polls. He didn’t go back to the polls, as he con- sidered the vicfnity of the voting place very unsafo for a man advocating the principlds Lo did. He did not consider that there was u free election in the First and Second wards in Omaha, In ¢ross-examination witness stated that different clerks had told him they were in- structed by their employers to boycott his yestaurant, He did not care to give any names, as he did not wish the clerks dis- charged. The most interesting testimony presonted was that of Mr. John H. Powers, contestant for the gubernaterial seat. The first thing to which he testified was concerning a letter yeceived by him from the president of the {M!I‘\‘Blml right's league of Nebraska. The etter, which was identified by Mr. Powers, is as follows: PERSONAL RIGHTS LEAGUE OF NEGRASKA, of the rights . do hereby hand you a iration and principles. The rights lengue consistg mainly of American citizens of foreign birth and b mebership of over thirty thousand voters Who desire to vote Intelligently and for men 10 ili the different state offices thatare 1n ac- cord with their views on certain vital meas- wres. Wo therefore address you the following questions: 1. Aro you in favor of prohibition or not? 2. 8hould both the prohibition and high 1i- conse amendments be defeated at the coming oleetion and the legislature should pass a statutory law introducing prohibition In this state, would you, it elected governor, veto or sanction such o law? & Areyou n tavor of pernntt ing parents to send thelr children toschools of their own choosing, always provided that the English language is thoroughly tanght in such schools, and will you us Koveror vota any measurs that will deprive parents of such rignt? By answerlng the above questions before Octobor 4 you will greatly obllge. Yours very truly, fouis Heision, President, Lengne. Joux D. KLuerson, Secrotary, League. Mr, Powers said that he received this let- for about a week after it was written, but hat he never replied to it. The question was then asked by Mr. Har- wood—How did you vote on the prohibition amendment ! Aftera moment's hesitation and a glance ub hisattorneys, Mr. Powers replied: “f voted for the amendment.” On subsequent cross-questioning Mr, Pow- ers testified that in his speech in Omaha pre- ceding the election he did not utter senti- ments opposing the prohibition amendment. Witness further testified that it was more discreet to conceal than reveal his sentiments ut that time concerning the amendment. Be- fore making the speech witness had been cautioned to touch the prohibition amend- ament lightly, as it was & dificult question to liandle in Omaha, The session then adjourned for one week. U SO A Wrapping Paper Mill Shut Down, Cuieaco, Dee, 11.—A meeting of the West- ern Wrapping Paper Mill association was held here today. The meeting decided that the entire product of the mills in the associa- tion should be sold by agents of the organiza- tion instead of the salesmen of individual mills, All of the mills will shut down one ‘week the latter part of this month. "The as- sociation voted an advance of 5 cents per 100 pounds in the price of all paper. In discussing the shut down Judge King- man of Cedar Falls, Ia,, stated that Iowa had & very strict law covering trusts and he feared that should Towans comply with the Bpirit of such action as proposed it would be construed in violation of the law und the pen- :Lontm\'y stared unlawful procecdings in the ace.

Dernorr, Mich, Dee. 11.—At the conven- tion of the American federation of labor this morning Chairman Gompers appointed o com- mittee to formulate the views of the federa- tion on the subject of an eight-hoir day. 1t was decided to elect oficers tomorrow, A resolution was adopted asking action by the federation to head oft immigration of laboring men from Europe during the coming world’s fuir, A resolution asking the fec port woman's suffrage was re vorably “T'ho convention resolved to extend sympo- thy to the strildng Alaiama coal miners.

A unanimous report indorsed the secro- tary's veport, which ‘pushed the eight-hour day forward and was concurred in by the convention, anco was read from hinists' union regarding the proposed affiliation, and one of the delegates arose to denounce the section of their constitution which confined admissien to_white men. A resolution ineluding such locals as draw the color line and to organize the machinists into a national body whodo not inject the race clause in their constitutions was offered, and finally, after considerable debate, a respe ful réquest was added asking southern unions to strike the color line clause from their con- stitiftions, and the whole matter was referred to the execntive committoe, A motion was made pledzing the delegates present to lend their aid iv_their respective localities in the formation of labor unions of retail clerks with a view to their afili th the retail clerk's united protecti ation of America. | port of the committee on the presi- dent's address said_the sentiment of the con- vention was not sufilciently strong_in regard 1o the world’s labor congress in Chicago in 1593 to render such an undertaking advisable now. ration o sup- ported fa- the southern - THE APOLLO CONCERT. Its Premier Recital at the Opera House Last Night. The Apollo club, the premier musical orga- nization of the city, gave 1ts inaugural con- cert of the season last evening at the Graud, under especially favorable circumstances. The audience was large and representative in character. The devotees of music were present in large numbers, while the leaders of the social life of thecity occupied the boxes, and gave theclub encouragement by their presence throughout the large audi- torium. The programme was well selected, the famous Mendelssohn quintette club of Boston giving a musicianly tinge to the concert in keeping with the past record of the leading voeal organization of Omaha. y The presence of Mr. Ryan, the manager of tho Mendelssohn club, in his place at the headof the quintette, recalls many pleasant memories, Probavly no director of the pres ent generation has given to the worldof music so many famous artists as he. His whole life almost has been devoted to the advancemcat of music, and his work, always couscientious and thoroughly artistic has not failed of that recognition which art demands, whether we sce it on the stage, in the concert rovm oz in the studio. Geise, who has since become the leading violincelioist of the east, was introduced to the American public by Mr. Iyan. Now he is a fixture in the hearts of the Bostonians in whick: city he enjoys a veputation in keepiug with his éminent ability. Edward Hewdl, the Hutest, was another of Mr. Ryan's discoveries, at present a member of the Boston symphony orchestra under Nicish. Aund his brother, too, was a member of the quartette club in the long ago, one of the best double bass players in the country. Wolffries, another light of the orgauization in the years goye by, a masterly performer on thé violin, made his American debut under the direction of Mr. Thomas Ryan. Mr. Shultz, whodieda few yearsago, another of the ctever violinists Omaha has heard in concert, and who gave brilliant promise of occupying auexalted place in the musical world, was another of Mr. Ryan's proteges. Meisel, at present in Europe, and one of the very best viola players America has had the pleasure of listening to, was for several sea- sons a factor in the Mendelssohn elub. am Franko and later Lis brother Naban, whom the musical colony of this city remem- ber very kindly were both members of the quintette which last night gave so delightful a performance at the Grand. opening number, “Quintette in B flat » by Mendelssohn, inaugurated the t, and was followed by Miss Mary Barnard m an aria from *Cosi Fau Tutti’” by Mosard, one of the most charming written by that famous composer. Miss Burnard,a tall and exceedingly pretty brunette, certainly not more thau twenty- three, isa pupil of Mine. Julie Rosewald, whois called the marchesi of the Paci const, where Miss Barnard was born and e ucated, one of the daughte Califoruia. Though announced on the bills as a soprano her voice isclearly mezo in quality, her opening selection being entirvely too low for any other but a mezz0-soprano, Though sufferiug just hittle from a cold her rendition of the Aria was dehightful, her method being easy and natural, adhering closely tothe German school ot which her teacher is a graduate. For an encore she sang Carl Bohm’s danty conceit, “Still in tho Night." Mr. Paul Jennison, a pupil of Geise's and destined to some day tuke high rank with hat artist, gave & fantasio for violincello on La_fille du Regiment” by Sevvais. His playing is wonderfully effective, and although thecello_is somehow or other not appreci- ated by Omaha ptople won an encore to which Le responded with “The Lake of Como,” a dreamy, poetical composition beau- tifully adapted for the 'cello. The quartette, which is always a feature of Mr. Ryun's programme, played a selection from Beethoven vory effectively and paved the way for the Apollo club, the crucial test of the organization under the uew director, Mr. L. A, Torrens, Much was expected from the club, and it is a pleasuro to state tout thoy quite justified all expectations. It was a bif daring on the part of Mr. Torrens fo rest its future suce upon “The Nun of Nidaros. Opus 83, by Dudley Buck. But the finale showed how well he appreciated the voices under his charge. Although they have had but five five weoks’ rehearsal, the selection was given with the urmost discvimination as to shading and phrasing, two features which heretofore have been stumbling blocks in the pathway of the Apolios. Mr. Wilkius, to whom was given the tenor solo, was in excellent voice, and he has never been heard to better advantage, The second part introduced Mr. Ryan in a fantansie for the clarionette, Mr. Schnitzler a fantasie for the violin on themes from “Othello,” beautifully played; Miss Buinard, then the quintette clib, the concert closing with the celebrated sexterte from “Lucia,’ by the Apollo club and ladies’ chorus, The jntroduction of the ladies’ chorus is a new feature in the Apollo club, and a very iuteresting one, too. Composed of the lead- ing lady singers of the city, the addition is very valuable, and when they have had suffi- cient rehearsuls will undoubtedly prove a valuable acquisition to the personuel of the organization. But the main feature of the concert, out- sido of the charm of the Mendelssohn ' quin- tette club's plaving, was tho demonstration that iniMr. Torrens the Apollo club has found a very eficient director, B Five Young Minwters Suspended. Prrrsivre, Pa., Dee. 11— Five ‘young min- isters, members of the Pittsburg presby- tery, who have been on trial several days for herosy in following diverse courses In advo- cating the admission of members to their congregation, ete., were found guilty today and suspended from the ministry. They have appealed to the synod. W R, General Newton Piaced in Charge.

ONITED IRELAND RECAPTURED The Office of the Pap:r Again Taken Posses- sion (7 ' v Force. PARNELL FIGHTS WTH A CROWBAR, He lssnes Orders That All Persons e Treated Falrly in the Col- nmng of the Paper—What O'Brien Says. Drniy, Dec. 11,—The struggle for the pos- session of United TIreland assumed a new phaso this morning, and again Parnell is in possession of the office of the paper. This morning Parnell, with the assistance of a crowd of his supporters, forced open the doors and teok possession. Parnell himself was armed with acrowbar. The police witnessed the affair, but did not interfere in any way. To guard against further attempt of opponents to recapture the office, the doors and windows were bolted and barred. When the oftice was secured against intruders all conversation with outsiders was carried on through the keylole. lu tho afternoon Par- nell left for Cor After the office had been taken Parnell ap- peared at one of the windows shouting that he would fight the battle to the last and only allow the country to decide the issue and that he would submit w the dictation of uo man. He appeared to be fiercely excited and to have lost his usual self-control. fore Parnell made the attack on the United Ireland office he procured two crow- bars. Handing one of them to John O'Con- nor, they proceeded to the door of the paper and soon smashed it in. Parnell has ordered that all persons be treated fairly in the columns of the paper. Parnell left this afternoon for Cork. At Naas he received an address from the local branchi of the National league. At*Monas- teravan there was an anti-Parnell demon- stration when the train arrived, a priest leading the procession and cheering for O'Bricn. At Mallow the majority of the crowd hooted and jeered, only a few cheers being raised for Parnell. At Corkanim- mense crowd gathered and Parnell was re- ceived with an outburst of enthusiasm. He has been invited w visit Limerick. Before the train left Mallow the crowd be- come very violentand made repeated at- tempts to euter Parnell's carriage. The mob flourished sticks in “Down with the blackguard ! the libertine!” and similar cries. Down with What O'Brien Says. New York, Doe. 11.—In conversation with areprosentative of the Associated press r garding the United Ireland incident, William O'Brien, editor of that paper, said the dis- patches stated that the edition which Parnell attempted to suppress by force was to con- tan a bitter attack uvon him. O'Brien can- not believe this, as when the controversy arose iie cabled instructions to the manager that if the party decided in favor of Parnell to hand over the paper to his authorized agent, and if the decision was favorable to support the party’s views moderstely and seo without fuil that nothing personally of- e to Parnell should appear. He re- ceived a reply that these instructions would be obeved. Referring to the statement that Parnell acted in virtue of his authority as director of the company and that e owns a majority of the stock, O'Brien said theshaves which stand nominally in Parnell's name are less than half the capital of the company, Parnell ceased to be a director five years ago for the express purpose of gnarding himself from pecuniary or criminal respousibility for the paj the wisdom of which course was concurred in by O'Brien and others. Those who forcibly took possession of the United Ireland office had not a shadow of legal authority. As to last night's recapture from the Parnellites, O'Brien could only surmise that some kind people of Dublin who had not forgotten the record of the paper allowed their natural feelings to outrun their for- bearmce. A LONG MANIFESTO. Another Address Issued by the Irish Envoys in America. New Yowk, Dec. 11.—The Irish envoys now in this city issued a long manifesto to- night. They say that when they reached this coun try six weeks agothe Irish cause was marching to certain victory, It was conceded on both sides that a gen election must bring a home rule majority. The.dissolution of parliament could not' be deferred beyopd two years and would probably take place within twelve months. All necessary to se- cure triumph was that the delegates should raise the necessary funds to preserve the evicted tenants from destruction and lkeep their orgauization uncrushed, so as to force the coercibn government to face a general election in the same condition of abject failure.which the gallantry of the Irish ten- antry had kept itin throughout five years of incessant conflict with coercion. In less than two weeks they had secured nearly $100,000, and it was certain that a sufficient sum would be subscribed to put an end to the last hope of the coercionists, ‘I'ho nanifesto then refers to the change in the situation, and speaking of Parnell's charges, says in part: *‘Hints of treachery on the part of British statesmen have not lost their power over a people only too well accustomed to the tradition of British un- faithfulness by their unhappy history. 1t is easy to understand the influence upon our warm-hearted colleagues and fellow-country- men of appeals to feelings such as these, urged with all the suthority of Parnell's name and with all the aexterity and magnetic power of which he is master. We ourselves, though far removed from the conflict, have had to put out. personal predilictions to an almost intolerable strain in endeavoring 10 scparate our attachment, to an unrivalled Irish leader from our absolute and over- whelmimg conviction that to indulge our per. sonal loyalty to him one moment longer would be to inour certain loss of the general election and make ourselves responsible for the appalling legacy of disappointed hopes, which the inevitanle trrumph of coercion at the polls would entail upon our unhappy people.” The signers say that overy private and public utterance of their lives attests the ¥ of their allegiance to Paruell, and the wildest partisans suspect them of a desire to overthrow his leadership svithout territic cause at & moment when a few months more of united action whuld have brought them to victory and when any prolonged period of dissension must involve the certain loss of the tremendous interests at stake. In general the signers seek to impress upon their countrymen the deep conviction that Parnell’s deplorable imputations of mutiuy on the part of his colleagues and treachery on the part of Gladstone ave ubsolutel bascless and unreal side iss) raised to divert the judgmentof impulsive Irishmen from tha real issue, which is whether it is possible to win the g election under Parnell’s leadership, and if the loss of the general election is the certdin and indisputable price of retaining him can Paruell himself or any rational human being honestly face the future and point to any ray of definite hope to sustain an unhappy people, and this in tho face of a triumphant tovy majority and aud a helpless and divided Ircland. With Gladstone gone, his party estranged from the Irish leader and the whole British peopie angered by the deplorable insults to their leaders and rendered suspicious by still more deplorable hints of the insincerity of all our professions of friendship, the certainty of a disastrous general election Parnell cannot dispute. The horrible consequences tifat ensue in Ireland he ean only pretend to dis- quise by vague speculations as to future par- l\umenmn’ strategy. With the Irish people alone the determination must rest and & disaster even greater than a mistaken verdict would be a vemlicy not prompt and decisive on oune side or the other. If the Irish people deliberately make up their minds to sacrifice the general elec- tion, aismiss dstone from public life, repel the British people from our side, fuce another quarter of a century of parliamentary paralysis and dreary attempts at iusurrection, @nd to do all this ou the question of punctilio as to terms of retirement, the desirability of which Parnell bimself balf confesses, theu we will bow to the sentence which will re- lease us from political lives of ceaseless anxieties, It, on the other hand. the air and shouted,. the overwhelminy mass of thinking | Trisbmen throughout the world resolve that shall mot be pushed over this abyss resent ordeal will bo the means of giv- ng incaleulable aid to the home rule cause as well 45 of sayingthe reputation of our old leader from a fatfiStain, The British peo- ple will bo finullgard irrevocably won to the cause of Irish fecdom by the spectaclo of how temperatelyf wisely and firmly the Irish people can excrefe the privilege of self-gov- ernment even 1 circumstances of unparal. lelled national perpjexity and anguish.

Whenever o home rule bill comes to be framed the Irish people are guuranteed us to the satisfactory nature of its provisions by their own quiet resolute strength and by overy motive of statesmansfiip as well as honor that must determine Gladstone to make the crowning achievement of his life work of complete and final reconeiliation bo- tween the two countries. Finally our cause once rescued from its present deadlv peril, our race may rest assured that nothing will be left undono to heal whatever wounds may have been inflicted in the heat of strife and do justice to Parnell’s genius and his work, %0 that Treland may drop a_tear over the errors of a passionate hour and remember our great Irishman and born leader of men who found the Irish cause pluaged in help- lessness and despaic and whose arm has lifted that cause to the pinnacle cf power and triumph, Gladstone Speaks Against Parnell, Loxvoy, Dec. 11.—Gladstone arrived today at Retford depot and addressed a meeting of 2,000 persons. He said the continuance of Parnell in the leadership would be fatal to rule in England, Scotland and Parnell was no longer leader nationalists, who had separated themselves from hin He (Glad- stone) admitted the Irish party ought to be independent and that the consideration and settlement of this question ought to be left to them, but there was something behind all considerations in Irish politics, namely, the great cause of liberalism in England, Ireland and Scotland, He believed that the O'Shea divorce pro- ceedings would entively destroy the moral force_needed in Iveland for any one who would be theleading championof the national cuuse. The hberals were unwilling, aftor what had happened in the divoree court, to make Parnell the constiwational governor of Ireland. Gladstone subsequently addressed an audi- euce of 5,000 persons at Worksop, pointing out the importance of gontinuing the strug- gle for Ireland, declaring that legislation for England could not be obtained until the coun- try had got rid of the home rule question. Effect of Parnell's Spesch. Dusriy, Dee. 11.—[Special Cablegram to Tug Bek.|—Parnell's speech made last night has already had the efféct of influencing pub- lic opinion in his favor throughout Ireland and the number of his adherents is growing rapidly. His supporters in Limerick are ing preparations for a great popular dis- is honor,upon his arrival there constituents in Uork are also preparing to ve him and they will give him an enthu- sinstic welcome, Catholic Bishop Browrigg of Ossory, in which the town of Kilkenny is situated, has advised the voters there in the coming elec- tion for member of the house of commons to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Marum to cast their ballots “according to the dictates of their conscience. The fight there will be a good test of Irish opinion, and the supporters of Ma Barnell are desirous of putting forth the strongest possible candi- dates. The Parnellites have withdrawn the nomination of Barry O’Brien, the author, and have finally selected John Kelly to con- test the seat agaivstBirJohn Pope Hennessy, nominee of the McCarthy faction. A Liberal-Unlonist Manifésto. Loxnox, Dec. 11,—The executive commit- tee of the Liberal-Unionist association has issued a long manifesto, from which the fol- lowing are extract “Parnell and the Ps nellites have alwa been an untrustworthy body, upon whose pledges no reliance could be placed, and whose parliamentary anteced- ents made them unfit and unsafe allies for any great party. No distinction can be made between Parnellites and antis. The latter condoned his delinquencies and accepted his policy, and now sacrifice him as a means of extorting fresh terms from their allie: he mistake British home rulers made was in al- lowing themselves to be convinced that either the methods or the objects of the Ivish revolutionaries had changed.
