29. 8uch excitement ass to-day prevailed throughout the length and breadth of thia country hu never been experienced since the daya when England was convulsed by the minora of the adrent Of Napoleon'! fleets. Any ordinary dleaater, each aa the outbreak of one of England's many wars, the Btwi of the annihilation of an English ex- pedltion. or the story of some enaangnined neonnter with one or other of the na- tion's habitual petty foes, would hare left the conntry eomparatlTely calm. There would hare been a dispatch of troops, there would hare been a calm statement of the existing position of affairs made In the Bouse, and the nation would hare gone comf ortably to sleep, secure in the knowl-edge that the matter was adjustable and that the best energies and brains of the nation were devoted to its settlement But in the present instance we hare nothing so reassuring before na.

For ten years the great cause of Ireland's emanoi- ystioa has had a leader whom all men were bound to respect; whom many men were wishful to follow. Not eren Gladstone, the leader of the great Liberal Party, has enjoyed so general and so unquestioned a supremacy, so unanimous a popularity, so supremo a position of confidence as has lees accorded to Parnell by ths nation at large. Parnell has been reproached, it la tree, with coldness, with haughtiness, and with indlfferenccto many of the minor interests ef members, or of groups of members, of his party, but hitherto these minor subjects of dissension, apart from the question of any decided opinion as to the sincerity and integrity of the leader of the Irish party, hare never passed beyond the well-guarded, confines of the council room of the Irish party. The world here knew, of course, that the question of Parnell's retention as the leader of the party dominated this week every other consideration of imperial politics. It was known that there would be a struggle between the great leader and some of his followers, but it waa confidently expected that the struggle would be, not as to whether a disqualified leader should gracefully retire, bat as to who should represent what should be the policy of the party he had betrayed by selfish iaeonaideratlon.

On top of these anxious reckonings, the manifesto published thia morning eame with the detonating force of a dynamite explosion. From an early hoar this morning London has been in a state, of turmoil. The private houses of the Ministers and the chiefs of the parties hare been beset by newspaper reporters, seeking either the truth or, at least, the refutation of some one of the many lies contained in the extraordinary publication that Parnell ha anongnt advisable to give to the world. Tbe houses of Mr. Gladstone and Hr.

Morley, above all others, have rounded by crowds throughout the day, as though either of these gentlemen was likely to stand out in the snow to give the pub-lie refutation of the falsehoods that had been so widely circulated. Bo widespread, indeed, haa been the upset- ting influence of this tremendous agitation that I notice on the news board of the National Liberal Clnian announcement that "Mr. Parnell, Chief Secretary for Ireland. Is the guest of the Master of Balliol College, Oxford." to-night, the name Parnell being so imprinted on the transmitter's mind that hs was unable to distinguish between Balfour and the late leader of the Irish party. The.

time fof saying that Mr. Parnell must retire is past. It is a terrible thing to haTe to record the political suicide of a great poblie man. It is still more terrible that a statesman who once stood prominent before the nations of the earth aa the incarnation of all that waa Boole, dignified, and Ion (-suffering In a glorious cause should perish thus miserably by his own hand in euch a putrid atmoe-phereof malignity, nnaorupnloaaneaa, and deadly mlachief of purpose aa that which, breathes through every Una of the Parnell manifesto. Mr.

Parnell haa some historic right to Identify his personality with the Irish cause. Of late years by bis arrogant in- Szirno 11Ua xelualveneaahohaa forfeited much of thia claim, bat in any case he haa no right to assume that the Irish cause and himself mast stand or fall together. he la content to ignore ttem, the world will remember and will 5 10 th ao rtood ttebrnnt battle while Mr. Parnell dis- OniTrS ntW TheHealys.

On the lace of it, the manifesto la as unscrupulous a document as ever waa penned by a politician.

The Irish as well as the British pabue has a right to know whether I admit or deny the aeeuraay of that recital, and la regard to every one of the four polnte stated by Kr. ParneU I at once deny It 1. The purpose of the oonversatlon was not to make knows Intended proposals. Ko single suggestion was offered by me to Mr. Parnell as formal or as unanimous or as final, it waa a statement, perfectly tree and without preju- i alee, of the jpolnte I In whleh either mrself "or saeh of my eoUeaguea as .1 had been I able to consult Inclined generally to believe i that the plan of 1888: for home rule la Ireland might he improved, and aa to which I waa de-!

8. I deny, then, that I made the statements which his memory ascribes to me, or anything subsuntlally resembling them, either on the retention ef the Irish members or on the settle- meat of the land or agrarian dlffloulty, or on the control of the constabulary, or on the ap-! polntment of the Judiciary, As to land in par-; tlonlar, I am not eonsolous of having added: anything to my pubUe declarations, walls as to the County Court Judges and resident magia- tratea. I made no suggestlonwhatever. e. The eoaversatlon between us was strictly eonfidential, and In my Judgment, and as I un- derstood in that of Mr.

ParneU, to publish even a true account of It is to break the seal ef conn- donee which alone renders political eo-operatlon possible. 0. Every suggestion made by me was from i written memoranda, The whole purport ef my conference was made known by me In the strictest confidence when It had Just taken place to myi colleagues la the Cabinet of 1886, and I aasured them that In regard to none of them had Mr. ParneU raised any serious dlffloulty whatever, i 8. Neither Mr.

ParneU nor myself waa bound i by tola conversation to absolute final aoeept-j asee of the propositions then canvassed, but! during the year which haa slnee elapsed I have: never received from Hr. ParneU any Intimation that he had altered his views regarding any of them. I I have new: done with the Hawardea eon- venation, and oonoludo with the following slm-i pie statements: I I I 1. have always held, in pubUo as wsU aa In; private, that; the National Party of Ireland! ought to remain entirely Independent of the Liberal Party of Great Britain. a.

E. GLADSTONE, The Parnell manifesto waa withheld till past midnight last night and it thus pre-j vented an answer from the party being eir-j colated thia morning. Had an answer been given it would already have been sufficientl-v-' ranlnaiv Aa nat stands, a delay till Monday will bat consolf idate the feeling against Mr. Parnell, not merely among the; members of the Irish party, but in all sections of liberal polit ical thought throughout the country.

in the party itself the hostile majority is already great and is growing. The mani festo waa published not merely without the consent of end without consultation with his colleagues, bat it was deliberated withheld from them despite their anneal that it should be communicated to them before it was lsoaed to the nab lie. It is specially worthy of note that only" ne jof the twenty-three admitted supporters of Mr. Parnell was consulted in the matter. The original draft of the manifesto was drawn up in consultation with J.

Kelly, who had as his colleague in the matter a bankrupt retainer of Mir. Parnell's named Louden. 1 Thia Louden waa in. 1882 expelled by Harrington: from the National League for cowardice in connection with the Land League during Mr. Forater'a suspect epoch.

Last night Louden who, of course, is not a member of the House, eame swaggering to the outside lobby and loudly bragged, haying evidently bad his one to do ao, that the gem of the manifesto was a declaration in favor of Mr. Balfour's policy of railways, land purchase, and a1 local board. Thia rumor spread dire dismay among Mr. Parnell's small following of adherents. As a result, John Redmond, the only leading Nationalist still supporting Mr.

ParneU, entered into communications with him, and succeeded late last night in obtaining the excision not only! of thia paeeage, but Of several others which displayed great personal bitterness against Mr. Parnell's old comradea. It may be said that, despite the division in the patty, perfectly friendly relations are maintained and, owing to Mr. Bed-mond, moderation exists between the majority and the minority. Aa or a division of thi thia mneh mnat be said.

The anti-Parnell party, which ia rapidly consolidating iteajl and to which fresh recruits aref hourly expected, already ranks forty-three declared opponents, among them being Dillon O'Brien, both the Healys, Barry, Sexton, T. P. O'Connor, aid both the MeCarthya, Harrington haa hot yet declared himself. There are thirteen neutral members and twenty-three Par- nellitea, some of whom are certain to vote against a dictatorship suohs Mr. Parnell now aasomea.

Opinion In the lobby and at ths National Liberal Club last night was very strongly expreeeedJj Mr. Parnell'a isolation, his refusal to consult jwith his colleagues, his bitter hoetility to old allies, are all the smb-ject of very vigorous remarks on the part of the men who have trusted mm ee long. There are, moreover, other matters which have given graven cause for anxioua comment to those who, though now opposed to Mr. ParneU. are aull his well-wishers.

There are reasons for thinking that the mental balanea and faculties for; cool weighing of vital questions, which nave ever been Mr. paraelre rtlstlngaianing qualities. have now completely broken down. The library of the House of Commons Is ion ete Btlck LleeHee, aae, AM dragglsts. to ee Irish mem- No one else ia found there.

Mr. ParneU has neVer been In ths habit of mixing with, hie! colleagues in this apart elsewhere, and hie pres meat more thad ence there thia morning created some sur prise, I Among other I members gathered there Messrs. Sheeny. Condon. Kilbride.

and John Boachi all of whom are opposed to Mr. Parnell and all of whom have saf- fered long terms of imprisonment in con nection with thiir action in supporting the plan of campalgU To each! of these mem bers in torn Mi Parnell appealed. Mr. Sheehy waa the Srst man addressed. Mr.

Parnell propose- that he ahonld go to Ireland and e'xplai: i to campaigners how hopeless their positi( had now become in view of the attitude the Liberal Party. Mr. Sbeehy replied that If their position is hopeless, Mr. I arnelL it ia you who have made it so, an I I will stand by them and against you come what may." Mr. Parnell then went th other members named and sought to cajoli them in the same manner and with the aa ne results.

Then, talking with! the other members gathered in the library, he: loudly demanded of them: How will you like the blowa of Morley's batons when he comes into power All these incidents, though they may be read aejtri ial at a distance, are of great importan to persons on the spot They tend to re ider less hopeful any fore-east as to Mr. uracil's future coarse. At Monday's meet! ig he will be declared by a large majority to have forfeited the confidence of his supporters and to have oeaaed to be cor aldered their leader. After this, go far as England is concerned, he will be an isolated man. In Liberal cirklea the general impression la that the ma lifesto itself, without Mr.

Gladstone's rep decreed his banishment from public liis. The Liberals say very naturally that the man who can violate private confidei ceo in thia shameless ash-ion ia no fit person for negotiations with any statesman either aide. The manifesto they; saj is one long deception from beginning to end. Its purpose is to show that Mr. 6 lads tone and the Liberal Party desire to (drive him from pubUo life in order to enai le him to bring in a mutilated home-mli bill On the other hand the Tories show no signs of a desire to make overtures to hii and, unices he could command a handaoi ae following, it is not likely that they wi 1 see any use for him in their ranks.

There remains the question aa to the feel ing In Ireland. I It haa as yet been impossi ble to obtain any adequate consensus of opinion from the Irish constituencies, but no doubt is felt Morley's emphatic state ments, which Will be published here Monday, will make an enormous difference in all minds that ire at present wavering as to where to plate their allegiance. Parnell's false statement in regard to thia matter wai practically the last trick card in his pack. It is, indeed, dlffloalt to understand on rhat principle It was played. His statement treated, no doubt a terribly painful imprest ion in the eampaign regions.

hat the joyful reaction will far, outweigh, in strength anld influence, the ill his announcement wis intended, to foster. The letter of lArchbiahop Walah. whioh. like most letter of clergymen, ia couched in very ambiguous language, has given rise to many apprehensions here as to the attitude of this well-accredited leader of the clerical party in Ireland. With a view to clear up anyldonbt and there was mneh doubt one of the most trusted members of the Irish party telegraphed this evening to ths Archbishop, as follows: Yeur letter fa construed in ParneU's favor by many people! and some members think It right to acquaint yoa.

Ton may desire to dispel the mlsspprehsnalon." The Archbishop at once replied, request ing the members to state freely that he had no such intention, and regretting that interpretation. 1 1 In the death bf the King of Holland there ia no place for regrets for his own sake. while Queen Emma, having been regularly inducted into the Regency, and careful and minute provisions having been made for the long-anticipated event his demise will make little, if any, change in the Government of the! Netherlands In respect to Luxemburg. Where a real change will be made, it may be said that the Dutch never regarded the luchy with great favor, and they will: prcbably not be sorry to aee abandoned to i ta own devioee thia interesting relio Of te artificial political system created by th mutual jealousies of the great powers, The eeparat on of the duchy, however, will greatly si nplify the foreign relations of The Hague. i Whether the fact that Hol land now beco nea more than ever rather a trading eomimnity than a power will affect the Dai colonial policy ia an inter-eating problei in view specially of the present attitm le, obstinate opposition, and unanimous wi lies of sixteen powers ia respect to the suppression of the African slavs trade.

FARNELX'S OPPONENTS PROMISE A MANIFESTO, to be written bt datxtt. LosrooK, Nov. 29.

Messrs. Healr and Bexton and a number of other opponents of Mr. ParneU nsld a conference to-day. Mr. ParneU's mani festo has stlirened their opposition, and they have resolved to Issue a counter-manifesto forthwith.

This manifesto, which will pared by Mr. Darltt, will bear a formidable list of signatures. The Pall Mall 6tuttu says Mr. ParneU Intends to start fur Ireland to-night In order to evade a definite declaration by the ParaeU-Ite members of the House of Commons on ths question of the leadership. If a vote Is taken on Monday Mr.

ParneU will treat that portion of his followers who remain attached to him as the real Irish party and will out the deserters off. Forty-four members receive pay through Mr. Parnell. who retains absolute control of the fund for the payment of Irish members. The Irish party met In tbe Parliament Building this afternoon.

Mr. ParneU was not reseat. Nothing was done at the meeting. The Cork clergy held a meeting to-day to consider ths situation and adopted a resolution declaring that ParneU bad forfeited their confidence, and that his retention la the leadership would prove disastrous. Michael Uarltt was Interviewed to-day regarding the present poUtloal erlsls.

He said It Is aU terribly bad and sickening. If the Irish party had been aware of tbe ctrenmitanoes and acted with courage at first, all would hare been well. They were bewildered, and no wonder we are now In splinters. The ParneU manifesto is a last despsrate move. I do not see how he could have struok Ireland a worse blow.

lie Is furious against a majority of his party, and In his eager against them and Mr. tiladatone'a latter he mat amnek. According to him a number the members of hla own party are false, and Mr. Gladstone and nglish-Liberal wire-pullers are scheming against him. ins some rule proposals outlined at Ha war- against the cutting down ef Irish representation at Westminster, bat In 188tt he agreed to clause 2 of the bill, which entirely excluded Irish representation, and further agreed te clauses retaining for a time Imperial control of tbe police and Judiciary.

The Land bul proposed by Mr; Gladstone was quite apart from the home rule question and was finally abandoned. ParneU thus eoaviots himself. Why did he not make this appeal before 1 These Hawarden proposala were ae bad then as now. Besides, ws have yet to know whether Mr. ParneU did not agree to them.

Mr. Glad-atoae, Mr. Morley, and, I believe, Mr. WUllam O'Brien were parties to the eensplraey. Tbey are now called upon te apeak out.

Mean-, while, no matter what the man lie to may do for Mr. ParneU's own (position, he has Shattered all hope of home rule for years, and that, too, for personal ends snd revenge. Just as In 1 8 82 he shattered the Land League to get out of BUlmalnham Jail and was prepared in 1886 to smash his party and debauch the Institutions of his country to thrust O'Shea on the Gal way electors. Messrs. Iuion, O'Brien; and fexton oagbt to depose him from the leadership He has brought terrl lie disaster, but not complete ruin, to home rule." In an interview to-day Kr.

Henry Labouohere, member of Parliament and editor of JV-ulA, said It would be charitable to suppose that Mr, ParneU la mad. It la Impossible to suppose that a sane man with any sense of honor or patriotism would Issue a manifesto so dishonoring to himself and so Injurious to his country's cause. At a meeting of the Cork branoh of the Nation League, at whleh the Mayor presided. It became known that Mr. ParneU had not Informed any of hU constituent of his Intentions previous to the publication of hla manifesto.

The meeting unanimously resolved to summon the committee to confer with Mr; ParneU la the event of his going to Cork. It Is undeniable that the manifesto1 has alienated a section of ParneU's constituents. i At a pubUo meeting at Liamore a motion ex pressing confidence tat Mr. ParneU was unanimously adopted amid great enthusiasm, Messrs. Pltzgerald and O1 Kelly, Nationalist members of Parliament, have telegraphed to their constituencies that they wUl resign If Parnell la sacrificed.

The Eastern Scottish Liberal Societies have adopted a resolution approving the course pursued by Mr. Glad tons and condemning the manifesto Issued by Mr. ParneU. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS, THE PREVAILING OPINION ADVERSE TO PARNELL. i Lcutdok, Nov.

There la much of hideous levity In the document In whioh Mr. Parnell wipes his pen serosa the treaty giving avngland peace and Ireland home rule. HappUy, Parnell Is bnt an Isolated factor. The Irish party has its Dillons, O'Briens, and Healys aa well as Its PsrnelL Until these tuea meat and decide upon a rupture of the relatione existing between the and Liberals. It Is needless to talk of a dissolution of ties which can never be dissolved by the act of one Bean." Tbe full Mtdl says that the manifesto is aa anecrnpoloos a doeumeat as ever a politician pea aed.

ParneU hits below the belt. It asys, but be is fighting tor his Ufa. The trmman'i Journal says the manifesto Is a terrible reply to Mr. Glads lens's Indiscreet and Importunate letter to Mr. Morley.

and that It talis Uke a bombshell upon Mr. ParneU's quondam and apparent allies. i The Jam" baflte bays: "ParneU haa blown tbe gaftV The Giadatoalan home rule bubble haa burst and ParneU stands revealed as a humbug aad sham." This Journal further ssys that the feeling which prevails among prominent Irishmen ia one of intense ladlgaatloa against the Glad-a Ionian leaders, far from feeling any resentment against ParneU for his manifesto, they are grstef ul for his rejection of Mr. Giad- tone's overtures to him to abandon the cause ef genuine home rule.

Reed wUl eaU to order at noon on Monday the second session of the Fifty-first Congress, At last, only a day before the event, the posslbUity of the attendance of something Uke a quorum begins to Impress Itself upon the observer. The streets are dotted to-day with newly-arrived members, most of whom have come, post Haste, from their Thanksgiving Day dinnsrs. As might be expected, the Democrats are In better spirits than the Republicans. attempt to extract from a BepubUoan an expression of opinion about the causes of the late defeat is getting to be a dangerous undertaking, for some of the men who have been rejected by their constituents, and who have eome here to be reminded of the fact by the Democrats, manifest some Irritability la their replies. To Republicans who are looking for symptoms of recovery by the party from the stunning effects of the election, it may be Inspiriting to learn that many of the defeated are already declaring that they wiU go Into the fight again two years from now on.

the McKlnley bul, and that they expect to win. Tbe most hopeful men hare not yet learned what the reverse meant. The two Republican leaders. Quay and Reed, are both on hand and ready for business. Quay has really not gone oat of business at aU, for his headquarters are in operation at the place where during the Pennsylvania campaign he had his force of clerks at work opening the replies to his soUeltations for Investment In National Committee contribution certificates.

Quay does not talk sbout what he will do with his Senators. He is more interested In exhibit-tnghls record of the number of tarpon hs caught In Florida. He had better luck in Florida than he bad in Pennsylvania, and the only Indication there la In his story of a tendency on the part of tbe "boss" to go wool gathering In Florida Is the mention of the fact that be let one tarpon get away after he had hooked him. Beed has done very little talking about the election. He wears a funny look when he compares the result with that in Maine in Septem- Cbatrman RoweU of the Elections Committee, who Is the author of what Is erroneously called Lodge Force bill, and whioh Mr.

Lodge accepted in place of bis verv much wiser and hat. Her bill, has not learned anything by the elec tion, except tnst it is possible to best Kowell. He is of the eame disposition still bitter, sectional, narrow, determined to hare the Force bill a law If he can compel Quay and his Senators to put It through. He is delighted to be able to worry ths Democrats, who are threatening to refuse to appropriate for the objects or tbe bUl In the next Congress, by reminding them, of what tbey ought to have known, that tbe blU provides a permaneut appropriation, so that it will be beyond the power of the next Congress to render it useless In thst wsy. His hope Is thst the tenate wiU not amend tbe bill But tbe committee to which the bill was referred and which reported it in an amended form will have to be seen by Mr.

RoweU before his wish can be absolutely gratified, and when the Senate comes to -consider ths bill there msy be members who are not controlled by RoweU who wiU Insist on having the bill amended In ether particulars than la those in which Mr. Hoar haa recommended that It shall be changed. All of the new-eomera are Interested In the talk of Presidential candidates There Is a new impulse In the Southern and Western talk in fsvor of the nomlnstion of Mr. Clevelsud. necessary, when invite his expres-i volunteered, and with some i-Afemnfia to HDL While the Governor haa hla admtrera.

the number of them who rerard him as tbe Indicated candidate for 182 Is smaller than it waa a year ago, and some of the men who were a year ago most pronounced In their advooacy of Hill for President are now franklr admitting that, if he Is ever to get tbe nomination. It will not be for the next campaign. Tbe starting of ths Blalus bureau Is noted by the Democrats, the Information having gone to all parts of the country that a personal friend of Mr. Blaine had been employed, at Blaine's request, to write a dally letter to two papers, both under the Influence and patrons go of the Secretary of State, to keep tbe people In mind of the fact that he Intends to be wail enough In 1892 to accept a nomination. It la understood, from a well-known Republican politician, who Is a Blaine man snd who learns some of the things that Blaine's bureau Is not expected to make public, thst Blaine Is decidedly of the opinion that the Democrats will not do ao unwise a thing as to set up tbe head of the ticket of 184, but that they will Insist upon having a new man as a leader.

When Blaine Is dtsoor-ered st work smong his Democratic newspaper friends advocsting the nomination of Hill, it may be assumed tuat he would rather hars Hill for an opponent thau to try conclusions again with the candidate who best him In 188-4. Ike" Hill is a well-known Ohio Democrat, and tbe only one who holds a place In the force of the Doorkeeper of the House of Representatives.

IBS OUTLOOK FOR THS FRUIT CSOP. Ro.vdoct, N. Nov. 29. The outlook at this time of the year for a healthy fruit season Is promising.

To be sure, there are many difficulties yet to be met before another harvest, but fruit men in Bonthern Ulster say that If the vines and trees are healthy and ths roots give evidence of a vigorous life early in December, there Is muoh to brighten ths prospset for ths success of another year. The fruit vines are all right. Strawberry plants have been covered, and it has been many years sines they looked so wsil. Tbe grape vines are full of life. The wood te healthy and the color of the tip ends" is of ths east to leave no donbt as to the healthiness of ths vines Fruit men now want to see one of the old-fashioned' Winters.

Practical men say thst if tbey can have lots of cold aad uniform weather from now until the 1st of April, the fruit yield In 1891 will be tbe largest since the beginning of the business, a quarter of a century ago.

EX-AsSIMBLTXAX O'CONXOR 8KTTXBJ A FEW OLD SCORES. Elm ma, N. Nov. 29. A disgraceful aoene occurred la front of the Gartttt office this morning.

Royal R. Sopor, manager of the Oosstts, Gov. Hill's local organ, and sx-Assemblyman j. J. O'Connor ware the participants.

The parties mentioned had a war of words, ending la the complete discomfiture of Mr. So per. During the melee O'Connor made remarks that have been a subject of discussion since. He said, addressing Roper: yon I Ton and Gov. HU1 ought to be la State prison, and if yoa had your Just deserts you both would have been there long ago." These remarks wera followed by a stinging blow in Sopers face, sending him sprawling Into the gutter.

The newsman seemed bewildered aad again faced the scratch, but a fowerful blow from O'Connor's right again nocked him down. The trouble arose ever the cold treatment by the OatelU of the late big Irish meeting, thst paper mentioning the matter meagrely. O'Connor is a prominent Irish Nationalist, a leading member of the National Committee of the Land League, Is very wealthy, and contributes generously to the cause. He took an active part In the DUlon-Harrtngton meeting, and introduced the Chairman. CoL Baxter, United States Marshal.

In words that evidently stung the Ouzetie msnsger. He referred to Baxter ae a man tbe Irish could always depend upon, while others, evidently meaning Gov. HIU and hla llentenanta, were unworthy of confidence. This, considering the relations of O'Connor with Gov. Hill, was a greet surprise, and showed that a political volcano was likely to burst forth at suy moment.

What O'Connor referred to la speaking of HIU and State prison la not definitely known, but Is supposed to be the buying of votes, the stealing of offices, snd general political crookedness. Mr. Bo per. being interviewed, ssld be could not account for O'Connor's action, that ths latter must havs been eraxy or Intoxicated, although he never knew him to get In the latter condition. He denied thst the alleged animus that led to the trouble existed, and said his sesallant should have been arrested, but be had concluded to let the matter drop.

Mr. O'Connor regretted his hasty action, bnt Justified his eourse owing to the aggravating circumstances connected with the mstter. O'Connor hss not forgotten the fact that notwithstanding he haa been a strong adherent of Hill, Mr. Cleveland tendered him a lucrative position in the New-York Custom House, and It Is ssfe to predict that ths Influential leader of Irish-Americans in this city and vicinity will In future march with his hosts under the banner of tbe ex-President. The incident has been the Issuing toplo of conversation lu all circles of this oity.

Gov. Hill's borne, and, viewed from Its political aspect, has much significance. BRAZILIANS AT MOUNT VERNON. A GRACEFUL TRIBUTE TO THE MEM-. OUT OF WASHINGTON.

CoircoaD. N. Nov. 29. Considerable ex eitement has been occasioned in political circles here to-day, especially among Republicans, by the distribution of nfty-psge pamphlet.

Issued by William E. Chandler, reviewing the old railroad fights In this State and his connection therewith; also the last two Senatorial contests, resulting In his election for the short and long terms respectively, and giving hla long-threat sued reply to the charges made against him In the contest of 1889 by GaUinger's support-era. The pamphlet violently assails Dr. GslUager. and also Messrs.

Greene and Sulloway, his principal supporters In the Legislature, as well as R. W. Welch and P. W. Chaliia, two newspaper men active In their opposition to Chandler.

Copies of it were mailed to members of the old and new Legislatures and leading Republicans throughout the State. Iu manifest purpose is to injure tbe candidacy ef Dr. GaUingerfor the Senatorial nomination In the Republican Legislative caucus next month, but there la a very general feeling among inteUigent Republicans of all claaaes that it is better Calculated to promote discord and dissension in ths Republican ranks at the coming extra session of ths Legis-lst ore, and thereby aid tbe Democrats in thwarting the object for which the session Is called. Many of those who have heretofore been friendly to Chandler express indignation at his untimely deliveranoe. aud declare it to be the worst thing tor his party that he has yet done.

There are some who have Insisted for some time past that he la mentally unbalanced by 111 health, and they are even more emphatie now In the expression of that opinion. MORS til ALL SOT XX. WaSHtxOTOX. Nov. 29.
