- IT DEPENDS ON THE OLD MAN Liberals Unoertain What to Do in the Pres- ent Orisiy, THEY ARE TIRED OF THE IRISH ALLIANCE. Party Leaders Taking a Decidedly Gloomy View of the Outlook—Ef- fect of the Basset-Law Election, (Copright 1690 bu James Gordon Bennste.\ Lospoy, Dec, 17.—|New York Herald Cable—-Special to Tue Bee.]—The Bassett- Law clection was a staggering blow to the Gladstonians.'yThey scarcely expeeted to win, but 0 lose by a larger majority than eighty- fiveis a severe disuppointmet. The cause was solely liberal absence fromthe polls. Re- centevents have increased the number of Gladstonians who positively refuse to vote on anything called home rule. Yesterday 1 conversed «witha very close friend of Gladstone. himself a leader of influence. He took a gloomy view of his arty, “This Parncll business has killed us fear,” he suid,_ “Nothing can wipe outof the public mind Yhe fact, that we have been holding up Parnell to admiration asa model atriot for five yea Now we are obliged 0 call hima rascal and he abuses usas hypocrites and tells all the world that our home rule is a rank imposture, How can we hope to get over such & scandal, The Eng- lish people were beginning to beiieve in home rule. Now they see thut the chiefs of the movement never had a clear understanding of what home rule meant or any confilence in each other.”” *What are you going to do?" I asked. “All depends on the old man,”he said wearily. I wish we could cut adnft from this infernal Irish alliance at once. Of course it would look bad after all the fuss we have made, but it is better thau going on to cer- tain shipwreck. The conservatives would beat us all along theline if they had the gen- eralelection now. What fools they are net to strike while we are so demoralized. As for these Irishmen they will ruin themselves and everybody who goes in with them. They always doit. O'Brien thinks we can patch up the dlmcullf'. He is dreaming. The boy: are all out on the war path and the Lord on! kriows where it will end. They destroyed the liberal party. Every fool can see that.” My friend turned into the reform club where other dejected spirits were sulk about with no prospect of throwing oves board the damaged cargo, For and Against Parnell. Dusray, Dec. 17.—[Special Cablegram to Tae Bee]—The Parnell section of the Na- tional league held a meeting, at which the announcement was made that the receipts for the last two weeks amounted to £1,171, in- cluding a subscription of £300 from Scully, the Parnellite candidate for parliament in North Kilkeany. All the speakers of the meeting denounced the Gladstonian party. Father O'Connor, president of the Cork Gulic association, writes to the anti-Parnell committee: “If nothing else showed the hy- pocrisy of the anti-Parnell agitators, Healy's anties would be sufcent, for thoy betray both the manand the causehe champions. The question of Irish leadership is not to be decided in a hole-in-the-corner meeting in Cork asscmbly rooms. If the people’s voice is in sympatby with such a meeting, hold it publicly, If otherwise, why oppose 1t i ihe oficials of Limerick, by a vote of 16 to 8, have ‘mn!edu resolution of contidence in -~ the MeCarthyites. Most Rev. John McCarthy, D.D., bishop of Cloyne, whose diocese includes o great por- tion of Cork county, has issued an episcopal letter in which he condemns Parnell. He de- clares tuat he is selfish, ungrateful and un- atriotic. The letter states that the bishop as made arrangements to withdraw the na- tional league branches in his diocese from the control of the executive which is supporting Parnell, ‘The local branch of the national league at Knoeklong, County Limericlk, yesterday voted in favor of supporting Purnell, ¥Father Mur- phy presided. « Father Barry, parish priest of Rathcor- mack, County Cork, anda prominent nation- alist of O'Brien’s constitueacy, hascomo out on Parncll’s side. Tire published interview Maurice Healy is represented as saying that assurance can be iven the public that no settlement of the po- tical crisis is possible by arbitration. The contest, he said, would ve foughtto the bit- ter end. Notwithstanding the injunction issued against Suppressed United irvcland, that paper bas again appearcd. Tho words “United Ireiand,” however, do not appear onthe top ofthe page, The word “Sup- pressed” only appears there.

Loxpoy, Dec. 17.—|bSpecial Cablegram to Tue Bie.|-The News says it trusts that Dillon will use his influence to prevent a repetition of the criminal folly of the lime- throwing incident. Tho best way, the paper continues, to des troy Farnell's power, is to let him rave in peace. The News, in an edi- torial, says: “It is evident that Balfour or- dered the police not to arcest Harison. Should Dillon and 0'Brien be arrested it will reduce to utter absurdity and revolting fic- tion tHe theory that law is impartially ad- ministered in Ireland.” Fathtr Fahy Released, Dunmy, Deo. 17.—|Special Cablegram to Tne Bre.]—The sentence of six weeks' im- prisonment imposed upon Father Fahey of Woodford, covnty Galway, for violating the crimes act, expired today and he was released from jail.

Searrre, Wash., Dec. 17.—[Special Tele- gramto Tne Bee,]—Charles R, Hammond, keeper of the notorfous Cleveland street house, London, where shocking immoralities were practiced by the members of the English nobility, is on trlal here today for grand larceny. Hammond lives at 10 Cleve- land stre wondon, and when the Pall Mall Gazette exposed the horrible debaucheries of young girls and boys at Hammond's house he was forced to flee to Belzium and thence to America. Hecame to Seattle in August, 1889, and opened the Haymarcket saloon. He seems always to have pleaty of money and to be able to draw hush money from weaithy Englishinen whenever he desires, Last spring J. R. Todhunter, who is supposed to be a Scotland Yard deteciive, located in Scat- tle and cultivated Hammond's Il(‘l!\llli!l(.!ll o, In May he tried to get Hammond into British territory, there being a large reward offered “for him in England, but failed. A steamship was af terwards procured and Ham- mond was invited to join Todhunter on a trip to Victoria, British® Columbia, to celebrate the queen's birthday, but he would not go on British soil. In September Todhunter en- gaged as barkeeper for Hammond and then worked up the present case against him. He is now on trial for stealing a valuable seal- skin sacque and gold watch and chain from a woman who was arinking and carousing with him in the wine-room of his saloon. The woman got drunk and claims to have lost her sacque and watch that night. Todhunter swears Hammond got .them, Hammond is stylish and well educated and about thirty- five years of age. His wife, who assisted him in running the Cleveland street house, is with him. On the witness stand Hammond admitted livingat 19 Cleveland street, Lon- don, but refused to state his business. he said he was in duty bound to bis fellow-men rot to disclose these ts. He swore that big money had been offered him to give in- formation in England exposing English roy- alty apd nobility, but he will never give them away. The trial is supposed to be a malicious prosecution instigated by. Todhuuter, who has been foiled in his efforts to kiduap = Ham- mond and get him into British territory, for Hammond is always supplied with abundant means and does not need to steal. b The Winter of Our«Content is the title ofa recent charming paper hg that brillant writer Charles Dudley Warner, wherein the glories of the Pacitic coast, as n winter resort, are most graphically desctibed. The Amer- ican people are beginning to understand that the Puget Sound country is one of our most splendid_posseseions and that the name of the ‘‘Mediterranean of the Pacific” is a happy title not misapplied. In speaking of Mount Tacoma, Senator George F. Idmunds says: “I would be willing to go 500 miles aguin to see that scene. The continent is yet in ignorance of what will be one of ‘the grandest show places as well as sanitariums. If Switzerland is rightly called the playgrouad of Europe, I am satisfied that around the base of Mount Rainier will become a prominent place of resort, not for America only, but for the world be- sides, with thousands of sites for build- ing purposes, that are nowhere excelled for the grandeur of the view that can be obtained from them, with topographical features that would make the most per- fect systom of drainage both possible and easy, and with a most agreeable and health giving climate,” Thousands of delightea tourists over the Union Pacitic tthe past year bear ample testimony to tthe beauty and majestyof this new empire of the Puacific northwest. i For Russian Jews.

A Delightful Entertainment at the Central United Presvy terian Churcl). Miss Orie Brown, who holds a position as teacher in the Omaba public schools and is possessed of considerable elocutionary ability, gave an entertainment Tuésday night atthe Central United Presbyterian church on Soventeenth street, under the auspices of the ‘Young People's society of the church. The musical part of the programme, which was to have been supplied by a male quar- tette, failed to materialize, but Miss Brown was not to be discouraged by that. The frequent and enthusiastic applause which groeted the talented ~ lady who gave tho entertainment unaided, proved the success of her undertaking. Miss Brown 1s rather tall, well propor- tioned and graceful. She possesses an ear- nest, interesting face, and u voico of excel- lent timbre and full, clear volume, Her con- ception of the dramatic, pathetic and humorous in literature is quite correct, and her mannerof delivery is clover and effective, The lady recited a variety of selections, ran ing all the way from a semi-tragical deserip. tion of ascene in the Coliseum at Rome to the humorous ‘“Josiah Allen’s Wife at Sara- toga,” and with each piece the audience seemed well pleased. et 2 SR T ‘Weather Probabilities.

GENUINE WOUVERMANS. Four Ancient Dutch Pictures at the Omaha Art Exhibition. 1 TIn the Omaha art exhibition are four of the most remarkable, and at the same time illus- trious picturesin America today. Two of them are undoubtedly authentic Wouver- mans, painted in 1640,and two Breughels, the latter painted on wooden pmucls in 15%0. These piotures are hung just within the en- trance to the gailery. Tt is well known to cornoisseurs that hereto- fore but one genuine Wouverman was known 10 bo in America, and that was purchused by Vanderbilt and presented to tho Metropolitan art museum in New York, where it now hangs. The Wouvermans exhibited here have all the manuerisms of that famous Dutch artist; the lights concentrated in the center of the canvas, the tender sky effects and the old Dutch architecture, avtest th “The Wou- vermans arc the ‘‘Falcon Hunt” and the *Haying Scene.” The Breughel's aro: two scenes on the Rhiue. The Wouverman's are what is known as central or radiating composition. In the center of each is the known character- istic gray horse, with pink saddle, and in the “‘Falcon Hunt” the microscopic portraiture of father and son excels the famed technique of Meissonier. ~ When viewing these pictures a_ magnifying glass should bo used.

Tho pictures were painted in 164¢ and bear their authenticity on their backs.

Senator Stewart of Nevada occasion- ally relavses into reminiscences, says the Louisvilie Post. One of the best stories ho tells isof the arrival of the first woman in the mining camp, The boys had toiled with pan and rocker at Washoe for three years without so much as a glimpse of a sunbonnet. Date of an afternoon a shout was heard, The cry wag taken up and repeated until it rang from end to end of the gulches, “Petti- coats!” “‘Petticoats!’? Down went the picks and shovels, The red-shirted miners swarmed up the hill- sides, n emigrant wagon, “‘all the way from Pike,” was slowly moving along to a camping place, A lone man sat on the seat in front. The lucky miner who had raised the shout told how he had seen a live womun sitting beside the man when the wagon first hove insight. But as soon as he gave notice by the warning cry,she had dodged b {c out of sight beneath the canvus cover. Plied with :iuestious by the less fortunate, the miner escribed in glowing detail how the woman wab dressed and what she looked like, That evening while™ the slices of pork were sizzling and the coffee pots were bubbling the miners discussed the great eveat. The more they talked the more they felt that they must see a woman, Somebody proposed a purse and a visit to the emigrant’s camp. One after an- other chipped in. There was $3,000 in gold dust when the last contribution was turned in, Then, forming in line and looking very solemn, just as they did when they marched in to see **The Luck of Roaring Camp,” these miners siarted for the wagon of the Missourian, By a unanimous vote “Bill” Stewart had been selected as the spokesman, He walked to the head of the procession and carried the bag of gold dust. As the column approached within sight of the little camp the leader saw a flutter of drapery at the front of an improvised tent, Then the flap was hastily drawn, and as the miners approached they saw harm tohimor his, But it hal beert three years since some of them Had seem a wornan. In fact until the arrival thab afternoon the gulches of Washoe had never been honored with the presence of petticouts, 'The boys had deemed the occasion worthy of recognition. They had made up, not exactly a jucle pot, buta purse, which he was commise sioned to present to the lady. The Missourian listened. "As the littla speech neared the climax he grinned. Vhen Stewart held up the buekskin ba, the emigrant’s eyes grew big. He Luruus and started with elacrity for the tent, “Sfl]lr,” he said, *‘come out and show yoursell. The boys don’t mean to hurt ye.
