Secretary Windom Confers With the Republican Senatorial Committee, Wasmixaroy, Dec. 15.—The republicansen- atorial caucus committee today had a long consultation with Secretary Windom respect- ing the formulation of a financial relief meas- ure, The variois propositions contained in the Sherman and Plumb bills were ‘aken up. The scretary endorsed the proposition to re- duce the compulsory holding of United States bonds by national banks and commended the proposed {ssueof 2 per cent bonds. Inre- gard to the proposition to purchase the exist- ing surplus of silver builion now in the coun- try, Secretary Windom took positive grounds in favor of the purchase as a meaus of en- hancing the price of silver and relieving the finaucial stringency. Ho suggested, how- ever, that it might, be prudent to restrict by Jaw the amount’ of this surplus silver pu chased in one month. The caucus committee referred his sugges- tions to a subcommittee—Sherman, Allison Aldrich, Plumb and Teller. After delibera- tion the'sub-committee reached a decision, which was promptly ratified by the full com= mittee and will be submitted to the caucus tonight in the shape of a bill to be drafted by Sherman, The main features will be a provision for the purchase of $12,000,000 worth of silver surplus within one ye 10 exceed $3,000,000 worth in any o (in addition to the purchase of 4, ounces per month now_required by law); the issue of 2 per cent bonds uot to exceed $100,- 000,000 in amount, and the purchase of sufi- cient silver bullion (in addition to the fore- oing requirements) to make good the de- ficiency in the national bank circulation whenever that circulation falls below $180,- 000,000 (by means of the issue of treasury notes based upon bullion thus purchased). In case bullion in sufficient amount to meet this deficiency cannot be obtained the de- ficiency in circulation will be made good by the issuance of ordinary treasury no In addition the bill contains a clause providing that when the price of silver shall for one ear remain constantly at or above legal Hpar” with gold, any holder of bullion may deposit it with the treasury and have it coined into standard silver dollars or receive treasury notes therofor. Wiile the committee neglected to take specfication upon the subject of reducing the amount of the compulsory holding of United States bonds by national banks, all the mem- bers appeared to be in favor of legislation for that purpose, ‘The report did not meet with the unani- mous approval of the committee or the sub- committee in every particular, The republican Senatorial caucus tonight discussed thereport of the caucus committee agreed upon today, The 2 per cent bond pro- ject found few ~friends ana was quickly knocked out. The 5,000,000 bullion purchase seemed to have strength, but neither on that nor the other propositions was final action taken. There was a great deal of discussion, which may be summarized as indicative of the willingness of a strong majority of re- publican senators to considerably enlarge the monthly purchases of silver bullion, possibly to the extant of 6,000,000 or §,000,000. An- other caucus will be held soon. The elections bill was not mentioned tonight, INMEMORY OF JUSTICE MILLER. Resotutions Adopted by the Bar of the ¢ Wasmveroy, Dec. 15.—The resolutions adopred by the bar of the supreme court on the death of Justice Samuel F. Miller, were today presented to the court and brief re- marks made in eulogy of the deceased. In presenting the resolutions Attorney Gene Miller said: “When Justice Miller ascended the bench @ political carthquake was shaking the foundatious of the government, obliter- atiug the old landmarks, To guido this, the weakestand most sensative braich of the government, through all the troublous times that followed, so that on one hand no just power of the general government should be lost, aund on_ the other no just right of tho stato or of the citizen should be sacrificed was worthy of the best efforts of the greatest of jurist: and most worthily has the task been done.” Chief Justice Fuller, who responded, paid @ high tribute to the dead jurist. He' said: **While he took @ share in ‘the consideration of every subject of judicial investigation, he carcfully aistinguished himself 1n_the state- ment of grave covstitutional questions, which bronght into play the patience, deliberatio foresight, intelloctual grasp and breadth of view, ol who have deserved the namo of statesman.

The Irish Envoy Touches on the Moro Re- cent Events in Ireland HE DEPRECATES THE LANGUAGE USED. The First lssue of MceCarthy's Sup- pressed United Ireland Makes Its Appearance—Patrick O'Brien beclares for Parnell New Youk, Deo. 15.—John Diflon has is- sued a leugthy letter to the press as to the more recent events in Ireland. He says that he has been from the first strongly opposed to any personally offensive attacks on Par- nell, although it must be admatted that the cruelly unjust charges he has leveled ag the members of his party and the ext i- nary violence of the methods by which he has sought to suppress ull expression of opinion hostile to himself, renders it very difficult for his opponents to maintain <an attitude of moderation. Dillon deprecates in stroog terms somo of the language which has been used in Ireland on both si the past fow days. Referring again to the attacks on Gladstone and Morley, he says heis convineed that there is not a shadow of foundation for the charges made against them, “Charges which would never have been imagined, much less uttered,” says he, “but for the 0O'Shea divorce case and Gladstone's letter.” Dillon speaks of the charges agaiust Glad stone ana Morley a8 @ gross aad monstrous insult. Dillon says that his veliance for the satisfactory character of the home rule bill has always been not on the pledges of any Englsh statesman, but_on the honesty and independence of the Irish party, and, above all, on the unity of the national fecling of the Irish rac He still _has hopes that the conference between O'Brien and Parn may result in restoriug unity, but in the meantime Parnell has plunged Ireland into a conflict which wrings the heart of every Irishman with pain and humiliation, He lins done this for a purely personal end and Dillon feels bound to say that since he commenced his Irish campaign Parnell has sed language and done acts revolting to every free born man, and if he (Dillon) could meet Parnell in [reland he should tell him, unless he very much altered his course, that ne was nota fit leader for anation aspiring to be free. Dillon, in closing, strongly - appeals to the people in Treland, notwithstanding the provocation, not to forget the respect due Parnell for his past mighty work. Patrick O'fsrien Declares for Parnell DunLiy, Dee. 15.—[Special Cablegram to Tur Bee. |—Patrick J. O'Brien, member of parlisment for North Tipperary who was seu- tenced at Clonmel to six month's imprison- ment for conspiring to incite tenants on the Smith Barry estates at Tipperary not to pay rent, and Michael O'Brien Dalton, who w sentenced to four month's imprisonment for the same offense, were removed to Menagh today where they will be prepared for riot- ing at Tipperary at the opening of the con- spiracy trial there. They both informed a reporter that they regretted not being beside Parnell in his fight to retain the leadership of the lrish nationalist party. O'Brien said he had abandoned the extreine ideas formerly entertained by him when it appeared likel that constitutional agitation would secure the benefits demanded. But if the independence of the nationalist party was lost by abandon- ing Parnell, any full’ measure of relief for Irelana through parlismentary means would be_impossible. ‘The formal nomination of Scully as the can- didate of the Parnellites for the seat in the commons for North Kilkenny made vacant by the death of Marum was made toda John Pope Heunessy, his opponent, mally nominated by the McCarthy section of the nationalist party. nch of the national league at Armagh has adopted a resolution repudiating Parnell.

Loxvoy, Dec. 15.—The Daily News corre- spondent at Kilkeuny declares his belief that Parncll's cause is lost.

Dusrry, Dee. 15.—Archbishop Walsh's let- tor in Suppressed United Treland urged Mc- Carthy to keep his pledge to sit, act_and vote with the party always in front. - “Tt will be your bast argument in the long run and you will fing yourself safo in taking your stand of it alone. The discredituble devieo of calling members to account for standing by their party instead of by Parnell has been resorted to not without temporary success, but every one knows that the assertion that the pledge was to an indi- vidual leader is grossly untrue.

Parncliffl fhually calm, bas taken to lashing his ents with epithets much worse than they have used in speaking at Unrlingford. Ho called his late followers *gutter sparrows' and *scum.” This roused Davitt's ire and today he aunounced his de- termination to meot Parnell and hurl tho charges in his teeth, Today both sides went to Rathdowney, Parnell accompanied by Kelly, Nolau, Har- rington; Davitt accompanied by Dr, Tanner. Rathdowney is not in North Kilkenny, but it was a fair day and many electors were there. Parnell found himself insuch disfavor that heheld o meoting in the house, It could hardly bo called a meeting, soslimly was it attended. Davitt and Tanner on the other hand addressed a roaring outdoor meoting While Davitt was speaking Tanner espied Parnell driuing for his hotel. He at once called attention to him and shouted, “Boys of Rathdowney, give a good tally-ho to the fox who is stedling away” The advice was taken and Parnell might have tasted Rathdowney mud had he not driven out of town ina eircuitous route. The inci- dent made Parnell contemplative, He took the train for Kilmanagh, accompanied by a dozen corvespondents. Ho said he would speak at Kilmanagh as announced. The train slowed up as it approached Baldiraggot and quietly Parnell and Harrison slipped out of tho train and went into the town. Tho train went on without him, car- rying the correspondents who did mot find the game gone until too late. Hereto- fore Parnell has been anxious to have the correspondents with him, but they have grown irksome simee the tide has turned against him on account, of their unpleasant way of speaking the truth in regard to his personal feeling. By the way the only Auerican paper represented here by aroving correspondent is the Herald. This was a peaceful day at Kilkenny. At the nomination today the candidates had to be nominated between 11 and 1 at the court house. Scully's papers were handed in soon after 11; Honmessay's soon afttr 12, At 12.30 a hundred people were at the court house, along with them Hennessy, his agent Mur- phy, Tim Healy, John Roche, Daniel O'Rielly; and a dozen priests. Sub-Sheriff Kanning occupied the bench. Tue place was as cold as an ice-house. Lverybody was congealing when Fanning said: “There are three minutes in which ob- Jections can bepnade,” i Scully came In and there was a buzz when he said he had ih objection to make. He said according to the law a candicate must hand in nomiuation papers to the returning officer aud Hennessey had not done so. Hennessey, who looks like d bantam eagle or an over- grown dicky-bird, grew red about the ears. An angelic' smile crossed Healy's face. Agent - Murphy laughed cheer- ingly. The returping oficer said Hen- nessey had complied with the law. The objection . was disallowed. Secully left the room ainidst the mocking laughter of the crowd, all of whom were against him.

There will be mectings day and night all over the division until Monday. Sofar the contestants have managed to hold mectings at different hours, but collisions are sure to oceur. Dick Power mouated the steps at the Patriots’ hotel here last night to address the crowd for Parnell. He was promptly pounced upon by Tanner, and Healy sent him word thal he would bet him £100 Parnell woud be beaten. Tanner hurled a man down stairs who was battering Davitt's door. Late last night the fellow, when questioned, said he was a Clan-na-Gael man from Boston named Hennessy. He swore he wauted only to got Davitt's opinion of the election. He left Kitkenny on the first train, as it is not a safe place for an inquisitive person. ELKHORN'S CHEMICAL, It Starts a Lively Rumpus in the Lit- tle Town. The town of Elkhorn has & &00 chemical engine and it is causing the officials no end of trouble. The machine was bought some weeks ago and to give it a test, a shanty was built just outside the business portion of the town. This was filled with combustible ma- terial, set on fire and the machine turaed loose.’ It worked well, but some of the mem- bers of the common councl desired a second test. This was made qud the engine refused to operate. On Sunday a_third trial was demanded, and after the torci had be applied the officials indulged in a free-fo fight over how the engiue should be u aged. During all of this time the flames continued to eat into the shanty until noth- ing remained but a pile of smoking ruins. Tho cart was then started and in its progress 124 Mahow was knocked down and run_ over, the result of which is that he is laid up with three broken ribs.
