BUEIED UNDER THE SNOW WILL SALISBURY RESIGN? forcement by all means lu tholr power. Some of the more hot headed assert that they will meet the enactment of eoorelon measures with moro terrible weapons than tho English have ever boon givou a taste of, anil that for every Irish life sacrificed in the enforcement of any eruol and arbitrary law lu Ireland ten English lives will pay tho penalty. These threats, which havo been freely circulated within tho past fow days have caused much auxioty and alarm throughout England, and the Crown authorities are apparently alive to tlio gravity of the situation. Evidence of this was not lacking to day In London, Liverpool and other large English cities, especially in tho metropolis. All the public buildings of this city wero guarded to day by a large force of police and the approaches closed against all strangers who could not show proper credentials signed by authorized persons.

JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERAL. which they come are such that they are imme diately branded as strikes," and after they have occompllshod a csrtain purpose wlU be heard of no more. A New York member by tho name of Naugle has introduood McCann'B bill of last year, provld lng that oil manufacturers shall be removed beyond city limits. So numerous and destructive have been the Ores in the oil tank region of Greenpolnt that thero has for a long time been a great public demand for their removal, and last year when McCann's bill was introduced the press of Now Y'ork and Brooklyn was almost unanimous In support of the measure. Nothing has happened to change that sentiment this yenr, and yet Mr.

Naugle's bill will not pass unless backed by men of influence of both Houses. Such men are unwilling to tako hold of measuros which hare a doubtful birth. Telegraph aud telephone bills havo been presented by tho dozen. There was hardly a day for tho past two weeks that some bill was not introduced lowering tho rate of telephone charges and assessing all electric wires. Some legislation may come from this mass of bills that will bo of benefit to tho public, but If precedent is followed the monopolies will come out ahead.

McCann's bill to open President streot to Gowauus Canal has been reported favorably from committee. It was klllod In tho Senate last year, the opposition coming from Kenyon Newton, lumber donlors, who havo a yard that would bo taken if the street was opened. Assemblyman Brown has been complimented on all hands for political sagacity in returning tho Excise bill sent him for introduction by James Mortou, of Brooklyn. The bill has been sent to Speaker Hustod, who will give it to the Chairman of the Excise Committee. Tho Speaker, with a knowing wink, said to Mr.

Burns, Y'ou are pretty shrewd for a new member I guess you'll get along all right." Last Monday evening the orators of the Assem bly paid fitting tribute to tho memory of General Grant One of the most eloquent speeches was de livered by Major is regarded by many as the most brilliant speaker in tho House. When he finished his eulogy tho House and galleries broke forth with enthusiassic applause. Ho began as follows I made up my mind, Mr. Chairman, that I would listen to night to what might be said about our dead hero, but that I would not say anything. I feel abashed in the presenco of his life, aud I feel that to be dumb would be better than to try to formulate any praise toward him.

When we had appealed from the civilization of our day to the brutality of the bullet, we had to pass through an ordeal of blood before tho vanity of men would recognize the man that God had put in front of us for our Balva tion. Ho was far away in tho Wost, unrecognized but ready, surrounded by envious men who did not porcelve tho man who stood ready to do God's work. I feel profound reverence toward God when I think of how, In all generations and In all kingdoms. principalities and powers, wherever a man was needed, wherever tho struggling looked up from tho gloom of this life to Him who i3 the guide of mankind aud asked for a man, they always got him, When Americans noedod Washington, lo! he stood before them. Whon trouble came to us and when we had to meet a crisis that would bring to us Just punishmont for our national crime; whon wo needed a man of peculiar mould and power, a man of Inspiration came to us a man who did not know himself or what he was until tho circumstances of his nation revealed unto him what ho was and what his life should be.

Lincoln was ignorant of himself; Grant was Ignorant of himself; they were born as Moses was, knowing not who they wore. But it is to God that I ascribe all praiso, not to man. Thoso men could not help doing what they did. It was their life, and no circumstance or powor could keep them from going to the front. Further Illustrating what he meant by a man of mission, Major Haggerty paid the following tribute to l'arnell, the great Irish leader: Many years ago there graduated In Oxford Col lego a young man.

His father, instead of sending him abroad on the continent of Europe, told him to go and discover the new land. He came to Amorica and found a woman of peculiar mold and characteristics, beautiful, broad browed, gentle, winning to herBelf hosts of friends. He married her. Her father was called Ironsides; tho strong characteris tics in the man's nature gavo him tho name. Tho present great leader of the Irish movement Ib the grandson of old Ironsides.

He was not a man of gushing tendencies, not a man of oratory, but a man who had the firmness of a Roman, and without oratory, but with firmness and with conviction that man, the son of the couple that I have mentioned, stands in tho British House of Parliament, wriuging Justice from reluc tant statesman for a down trodden poople. Was there any accident in his coming to Amorica and marrying this peculiar woman, tho combination of which should produce a groat man. No, it was God's providence; by God's diroction comes Wash ington, comes John Brown like John the Baptist to herald a great event. The war comes to punish the nation for its great crime, and Lincoln comes to punish the rebel who would destroy a great nation. So we ascribe all praise to God aud honor his in struments as wo do the long line of heroes that tho world has producod.

We thank God for them, and when our day coineB for delivery tho man will come to lead us." GRANTED A NEW TRIAL. Judge Walker's Opinion in tUo Case Against lUoyor. St. Albans, Jauuary 23. In tho Supremo Court, this morning, Judge Walker delivered an opinion in the case against Meyer, for tho murder of Krauz in 1874.

The defendant's exceptions are sustained and he is granted a new trial. This decision was a groat surprise to tho pooplo of this vicinity, as the general expectation was that the exceptions would not hold good, and that Meyer would be sentoncod at this term. The ground upon which the new trial was granted is substantially that in the absence of any direct proof tho malice on the part ot Meyer toward Kranz, if the Jury had been more particularly instructed as to the difference between murder In the first degree and manslaughter under the Vermont statutes, they might have rendered a different verdict, and the court gave Meyer the benefit of that doubt Meyer has confessed to killing Kranz, but claims that he got into a quarrel and did it In self defense. If Moyer had beon sentenced now he could not bo hangod for two years, and his theory is that he will not live that length of time. AN INHUMAN FATHER.

Tapfan, N. January 23. Frederick Moyerbohn, who keeps a small confectionery store hore, was locked up to day on a chargo of cruolty to his 7 year old daughter. He was arrested at the Instance ot the Rockland Couuty Society for tho Prevention of Cruolty to Children. Dr.

Tlttamore, of the society, who examined the child, says she bears marks of the moBt inhuman treatment. Meyarbohn said the child was his and his wife's aud that they had a right to do what they pleased with her. Meyerbohn will bo tried on Monday. POLICE STOP A PRIZE FIGHT. Lynn, January 23.

Chicago, Jan. 23, 1886. Eegarding a statement made in a New York telegram, to the effect that the daughter of Joaquin Miller was married here to the theatrical manager, J. L. McCormick, nn interview is published here this afternoon with Rev.

R. J. Coghlan. The rever end gentleman said that on the ninth Inst. Miss Miller, accompanied by Mr.

McCormick, came to the house and asked to be married in accordance with the rites of tho Catholic Church. She volun teered a statement that she had previously gone through the form of marriage with a man named Mackaye, hut that she had since ascertained that she had never been really married to him, and as a consequence had never lived with him, nor did he Boom to bo anxious to live with her as her husband. Miss Miller, who was a total stranger to Father Coghlan, had previously obtained a license to marry, which he exhibited to the reporter, and which is in tho usual form, as follows: The people of the Stato of llliuois to any person legally authorized to solemnize marriages, greeting: Marriage may bo celebrated between Mr. Joseph Loudon MoCormlck, of New York, in the State of New York, at the age of 31 yearB, and Miss Marie Miller, of New York, in the State of New York, at tho age of 31 yearB. Tho marriage license was signed by Mr, M.

W. Ryan, clerk of the County Court. I do not desire," said Father Coghlan, to add anything to the report of tho matter which has already appeared. That report is substantially correct, but I deny having said that Miss Millor and Mr. Mackaye wero not legally married or that the marriage 'was void in Ab the license from the State attends to the legal part of the matter I never reflected whether the divorce was or was not obtained.

If I had reflected before the ceremony that a divorce had not been obtained I would havo declined to perform it. My view of the first marriage coincides with that oxpressed by Mgr. Pres tou, which, as published, is as follows: "Mgr. Preston did not tell Mies Miller that a marriage was void in law because the priest had been deceived about the bridegroom's baptism, but he told her that the Church did not rocognlze or bless such a marriage. Both Miss Miller and her companion appeared to bo in a state of absolute poverty," continuod Father Coghlan, and Miss Millor represented that their being married would lead to greater economy, and urged to havo the ceremony porformed immediately, as they oxpected to leave for Detroit that evening.

They were actually strandod, and what trunks and goods they had remaining wero detained at their hotel. Their appearance certainly seemod to bear out their statement, as they were most poorly and lightly clad for the Winter season. She appeared to be acting from strictly conscientious motives, and stated that she had been imposed upon by Mackaye." Would the fact of his not having been baptisod make any material difference in tho eyes of the Church?" Certainly. A dispensation Is necessary in such a case before the marriage can bo porformed. I saw no written opinion from Dr.

Houghton," continued Father Coghlan, but a statement was made to me by Miss Miller, to the effect that Dr. Haugh ton had denied that Mackoyo was ovor baptised. If he had been baptised in any church the ceremony of marriage would be valid in tho eyes of the Catholic Church. TUB NAJiTICOKE DISASTER. Result ot the Investigation by the Mine Inspector.

Wilkesbahke, Juno 23. Tho mine Inspectors who made the investigation into the situation of affairs at Slope 1 of the Nantl coke mines yesterday say thoy could not see that anything further could bo done by the Susquehanna Coal Company to hasten tho recovery of tho ontombed men. They claim that if tho men are reached at all thoy can only be got at through tho blocked workings, and that no more rapid progress can bo made than is now being made by the rescuing party. Tho inspectors expressed their eutlre satisfaction with tlio measures takeu by tho company to recover the men, and say that evon under tho most favorable circumstances it will tako a month or six weeks longer to reach tho spot where tho victims are supposed to be. The sinking of the bore hole is carried on only to satisfy the relatives and friends of the ontombed men, but itwill be productive of no good.

From all that can bo seen and learned by tho inspectors who entered the mine, they are fully satisfied that none of tho men aro alive, and It is seriously doubtod whothor any of them survived tho first rush of water and sand. Aaron W. Rhoades, Superintendent of tho mining engineer squad, came out of the mine at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Ho reports that tho work of the rescuing party Is progressing. He says that no light has yet been seen by any ono since the accident occurred, and that no sound of any kind has been hoard from the men.

A collision occurred on the Cntawissa branch of tho Philadelphia and Reading Railroad this morning by which two men wore instantly killed and two fatally Injured. Two freight trains going in opposite directions wero by a mistake of the officials sent out on a single track and tho result was the collision, by which the engineer of one train and the flroman of tho othor wero klllod and the othor engineer and fireman injured.

Favorable Action in Congress Anticipated. Report of the Committee Having Consideration of the Bill Transatlantic; Rapid Transit from Long Island to Milford Haven Malls to be Delivered In Little Over Six Days. What May Probably Lead to Much Needed Encouragement of American Shipping. Special to the Eagle. Washington, Jauuary 23.

Tho House Committee on Shipping has agreed to favorably report the bill giving American registry to the vessels which Mr. Austin Corbin proposes to run between Fort Pond Bay, L. and Milford Haven. Accompanying tho bill will bo tho following report with reference to Mr. Corbin enterprise: The object of tho bill is to authorize tho American Steamship Company to register certain vessels owned by it, or which It may hereafter purchase, whether built in the Unitod States or elsewhere, for the purposo of establishing a direct line of railway and steamship communication, running as a fixed oxpress servico, at stated hours, between Now York and Loudon.

The populotiou of tho United States alone is approaching 00,000,000 pooplo, and that of tho United Kingdom 30,000,000. Tho introduction of some means of rapid transit between these two groat English speaking nations, wholly free from tho inconveniences, delays and hazards duo to tides, fogs and storms encountered In narrow and crowded wet waterways, such as beset the present routes, is a growing necessity. This necessity it Is tho object of the Amorican Express Company to meot. The committee nre advised that tho port of departure in the United States will be Fort Pond Bay, Long Island; that in Great Britain, Milford llavon. Since tho commencement of steamship navigation the traffic between tho two continents has more than kept pace with the increase of accommodation offered by tho regular linos, and especially is this true for the last llvo or six years.

Tho same relations of cause and effect which subsist between Improvements In comfort and speed and reduction of expense on tho one hand aud increase of traffic on tho other over extended lines of railway apply with equal certainty and forco on important ocean highways. Tho gain in saving distauce, as stated to the committee, Is about 170 miles at one end of tho route, avoiding tho inclosed waters and currents and great dangers of St. George's Channel, and 118 miles at tho othor end, avoiding the risks incident to tho coast of Long Island and Now Jersey. About ii8 milos in all, or from twenty to thirty hours' stoamiug at the rato usual in those Beas, and whereas ton days and three hours are now required to transport the mails from London to Now York, the proposed new line will be able to deliver London mails in Now York in six days and three hours. It sooms a littlo strange and peculiar that Amorican citizens who desire to engage in a business as legitimate and unobjectionable as that of transporting passougers, mall aud freight betwoen two great continents, who expect to spend their own money, asking no pecuniary favors from their Government, are obliged to ask leave of Congress to do this businoss under tho colora of their own country, in ordor to relieve themselves from tho necessity, bo humiliating to their sense of national pride, of seeking tho protection of a foreign flag.

With the exception of a fow old steamers, commonly denominated tramps, and a few coasting steamers engaged in tho domestic trado, there is not a steamer leaving the Port of New York or coming into it Unit Is not officered and manned by foreigners and that does not float at its masthead a foreign flag, so that if in dlro distress this Government could scarcely colloct a fleet large enough and of proper charactor to carry a single division of troops upon tho open seas. But even if it bo conceded that no pressing necossity exists for a new steamship lino such ub Is proposed to be established, can it bo contended that it would be auy worse for the business interests of America to havo in operation a Hue of vessels of foreign construction, subject to the inspection and approval of officers detailed by our own Navy Department, sailing under our own flag and officered aud mannod by our own citizens, than to have foroiga built ships sailing uudor foreign flags and officered and manned by foreigners It may bo said that the policy of the Government ia to develop the shipbuilding interest at home. But this policy has boon tried for a hundred years, and tho result has been that Iho Amorican flag has been practically driven from tho seas. It the experience of the past has demonstrated the unwisdom of this policy, is that not a reason why wo should strike to secure our Just proportion of tho benefits resulting from tho bringing of foreign vessels luto our ports, giving employment to our own people, under our own flag, Instead of permitting foreign vessels to control our business in tlio interest of foreiguers and under foreign flags Your committee, in view of thoso considerations, report back the bill with the understanding that tho right to bo registered and the benefits of registry conferred shall extend not only to tho vessels of the Amorican Steamship Company, but to all vossels of tho samo character aud speod as thoso described in the bill. In conversation wilh tho Eagle correspondent to night Congressman Adams, who introduced tho bill, said that If It were passed It would be tho first Btop in tho movomont looking to the ropeal of the Navigation laws.

Jlr. Adams added that he had seen Mr. Corbin In New York recently and that tho latter gentleman had oxpressed himself to the effect that tho company was ready to procood with Its work as soon as Congress should euact favorable leglBlntion. Some of the heaviest capitalists in London and Now York aro understood to be cooperating with tho president of the Long Island Railroad In this now protect which ho has on foot. PRESIDENTIAL MEDALS.

Washington, January 23. The President has presented a gold medal to the following porsons: Walter A.

Rose Lightbrown and Thomag Whitney for humano services in rescuing the crew of the schooner James M. Riley in November last; also silver medals to David Paul, CharlosMal kal, Levi Josoph Aka and Goorgo Mahla for humane services in rescuing the crow of tho American brigantlue Hesperian in Docomber last.

THE BLIZZARD IN MICHIGAN. Detroit, January 23. The blizzard that struck horo yostorday afternoon raged furiously until late in tho night, whon tho stoady cold set In.

The Judiciary Committee of the Senate is in session to day and is reported to beat work on a bill to provide for the settlement of the Union Pacific Indebtedness. Governor Hill and His Hospitality to Workingmen. The Democratic Ways of a Democratic ExecutiveFalse Alarm About the Bridge Bill Its Passage Certain Measures of Local ImportanceGood Bills in Bad Hands Major Hac gerty's Reference to Parnell. Spepial to the Eagle. Albany, January 23.

One of the events of the week has boon tho opening of the Iildgefleld toboggan chute and the now famous slide of Governor Hill on the opening night. The Governor is not only a Democrat In politics, but thoroughly democratic in all his ways. The same night that he took a ride on the flylug coaster he addressed the State Bur Association. His spoech on that occasion was conceded by the gentlomon who heard It to bo ono of the ablest ever delivered before the association. So important was it that a committee was appointed to consider the recom mendations of the Governor and report upon them.

Evon if the association should fall to immediately indorse all that tho Governor said, his words will have an Influence for good throughout tho State that ultimately will do much to remedy the abuses in the profession to which he referred. On Thursday evening Governor Hill entertained at the Executive Mansion mombora of the Stato Trades Assembly Convention, which had been in session during tho week. For this he has been severely criticised by several Republican papers. When the Governor, as has been his custom, ontertalned mombers of the Legislature, the Judges of the Court of Appeals, tho State regents, members of agricultural aud scientific organizations who have come to Albany in convention, not a word has ever been said against the propriety of such hospitality. But becauso tho Governor extends the same courtesy to tho laboring mon that ho does to officials aud professional men a great howl is set up and David B.

Hill is branded as a domagoguo who is seeking favor at the hands of powerful labor organizations. Ever since Mr. Hill has been in Albany his hospitality to all classes of peopio has been tho samo. He is ono of the easiest governors to approach that ever sat in tho Gubernatorial chair in this State. Ho puts on no airs and assumos no dignity.

By nature he is dignified and gives dignity to the office ho so well Alls, but he is a man who feels that he Is no better than other men, and will not show moro deference to tho rich than he will to tho poor. There have been Governors who would not open the Executive Mansion to representatives of the workingmen, but Govornor Hill is not of that kind. It is understood here that a conference will be hold in New York to day of tho sevou Piatt Sonators who remained out of tlio Repupllcan caucus last Thursday. Theso gentlemon evidently hold the key to the situation. If their thirteen Republican colleagues rofuso to koep Piatt and Dr.

Smith in office, then these seven Sonators will in all probability transfer their votes in another direction. Mr. Fnssott exprossos tho position of tho Piatt men lu speaking to a reporter as follows: "We aro willing to go into a caucus with tho majority whon we aro assured of protection to all Republicans now holding appointive offices." If tho other Republican Senators will glvo assurances that they will not allow the displacement of tho officials reforred to then tho matter will bo at an end and Mr. Piatt will gain a great victory. Tho events of the coming week will demonstrate the powor Mr.

Piatt has in his party. In the meantime Mr. Sterliug will have cause for no great amount of auxioty. As already stated in this correspondence it is quite probable that within a short time ho will occupy the position of Port Warden. Tho raid of abuse and slander that has been heaped upon Mr.

Sterling has about had Its run and tho reaction is taking place. It is beginning to bo understood horo that tho Alderman Is not so bad a man ns he has boon pictured. Several prominent merchants of Brooklyn and some of tho Republicans havo token pains to inform men in powor that Mr. Sterling is an honest, capable gentleman and every way fitted to perform the dutlos of Port Warden. This Is having influence, and also tho fact that all Democrats of Brooklyn aro united in asking that Mr.

Sterling should havo this place. Senator Worth, before whose committee the appointment will como, will be obliged to presont the testimonials in favor of tho appointee and must from personal knowledge admit the gontlemaus fitness for tho office. Monday night tho Bridge Extension bill will in all probability pass tho Assembly and a few days later, by the Governor's signature, become a law. Every member of tho Brooklyn delegation deserves credit for giving hearty support to this measure and helping to progress it so early In the session. Much has been said in certain newspapers about the opposition of uptown New York property owners to the passago of the bill and of the Influence of a powerful lobby.

Such statements without any foundation of fact do serious harm. They often stir up oppo sition where none had existed and many times greatly embarrass the promoters of a bill nndcauso aggravating delays. To Bay that a powerful lobby is trying to defeat a bill is one of tho stock expres sions of some correspondents in reference to nearly every measure that comes boforo tho Legislature. Tho lobbyists are sure to get their hands on every matter they can, but oftentimes tholr interference is greatly magutfled. Since the Brldgo bill was introduced and amended to meet tho objections of Mr.

Ottendorfer there has been not tho slightest doubt of Its passago. In Senate committee Mr. Cullon made a sad failure In trying to delay progross and tho falntost kind of opposition was developed whon it came up on final pass age. In tho Assembly the only objector was a man by the name of McManus, whose linguistic powers do not extend beyond the words I object." Such a leader la not bo feared. It is absurd to intimate, even, that tho Bridge Trustees will spend any money to pass the bill.

It is equally absurd to say that tho Now York elevated or surface railroads will pay money to defeat it The only advantage members who try to block legislation can expect Is the promise of the trustoos for patronage on tho bridge. It Is true that several membors have been to Presl deut Howell with copies of newspapers which havo been booming the boodlo ldoa and demanded pat ronage as roward for their votes. It is said that certain Brooklyn membors have sought advantage in this way, but of the truth of the statement I have no knowledge. Tho bill will pass and tho Trustees will do wrong if they place themselves under obligations to any member of the Legislature. Among tho first bills introduced in the Sonato was one by Coggeshall exempting veterans from Civil Service examinations.

Tho next day he offered anothor bill giving the soldiers preference over civilians when they have passed the examina tion. Tho following day Worth Introduced a simi lar bill. All tho bills have been favorably reported and are on the printed flies. There is now quite a struggle between Coggeshall and Worth to seo whoso bill will pass. Both gentlemen aro anxisus for what political capital they can make among the veterans.

Mr. Worth, however, has an advantage ovor his colleague from Utlca In that his bill is the official ono prepared by the veterans' organization of New Y'ork and Brooklyn, whllo the other bill emanated from the gentleman who introduced it Worth's bill merely amends tho Civil Service act of 1883 by tho introduction of a fow words providing for preference to veterans, while the Coggeshall bill amends the act by adding a section of new mat tor which is ambiguous and does not clearly meet the provision sought When the bills were discussed before the Judiciary Committee Colonel Charlos Mortou pointed out the defects in the Coggeshall bill, and explained that tho simple amondmont In the Worth bill covered tho point at Issue, and was all that was asked for by the soldiers. As Mr. Morton was a Civil Service examiner while Deputy Postmaster his knowledge of tho low was complete, and his arguments before the committee had much weight. But few local bills of importance were introduced the past week.

Senator Pierce ottered a bill prepared by tho Law Committee of tho Board of Education, giving that body power to petition for a commission to appralso lands and to acquire title to such for schoolhouso purposes. This bill has been thoroughly discussed by tho Board of Education, and has the indorsement of its members. Mr. Long ley, at the solicitation of General Curtis, introduced a bill to authorize counties and townB to refund mouoy paid by citizens for substitutes during the war drafts of 1803. Kings and several other coun tiea are excepted from the propoaod act.

In Justification of such a measure it Is claimed that when drafts were made In subsequent years the counties and in some cases towns and villages paid the substitutes procured by drafted men. The same hill met with defeat last year. There are a host of bills la ihe LsgUlaturo which aro perfectly proper Circumstances which May Force the Premier to Retire.

Lord Salisbury is tlrod of Ida ul torn pi to go.vorn the British Empire with tho Tory parly, and wishos to resign. 1 can assure you upon next to tlio highest authority that tlio Premier expects to relinquish office within tho next three weeks.

My informant Bays: "Salisbury would like to sotlle tho Irish Question on a broad, liberal basis, but ho cannot do it with Buch a party as ho hu3. His colleagues wish him to crush tho Irish. Ho can't bring himself to do anything of tho kind, and, for this reason, he will bring about tho defeat of tho government In order to obtain a Justification for retiring from power." I asked tho minister who gavo mo this startling pleco of intelligence if ho know what wero tho Prime Minister's personal views on the Irish situation, aud ho said: "Yes, Lord Salisbury entertains none of tho fears professed by tho Conservatives, that if Ireland had homo rulo tho Irish would become practically hostile peopio. Ho admitted to mo recently that ho believed tho only hostility over entortaiued by tlio poople of Ireland toward Kugland could bo entirely accounted for by tho coercivo nature of the relations betweou the two countries. Ho weut further aud said ho was of tho opinion that if Ireland wero made froo she would voluntarily nook evon a closer relationship with England than the one now maintained by force, and would becomo a most valuable aud powerful ally, instead of being, as now, a dissatisfied, troublesome, rebellious and continuously oxponsivo province Lord Salisbury maintains that tho very situation of lroland would muko her freedom iinuro eventually to England's advantage.

This situation, lie points out, difTors from that of Belgium or Switzerland in this: that whereas Belgium and Switzerland are surrounded by powers all equally covetous of tholr territory and therefore equally interested In maintaining their independence, Ireland's contiguity is confined to Great Britain, and tho international interests of tlio two countries would bo Identical if they wore neighbors aud not landlord aud tenant." "But," wont on tho Minister, "it must bo admittod thut British parties as reflected In Parliament represent the commercial and land interests rather than those of the peasantry, although the onlarged franchise will undoubtedly change this eventually. Tho land interest of England thoroughly sympathizes with that of Ireland, partly from affinity aud also because the majority of Irish landlords are Englishmen resident in Groat Britain. But the land Interest of England, the groatest after its commercial interest, has nothing like a correct idea of how Insignificant a minority tho landowners of Ireland are of Its wholo population, nor of tho really foreign nature of their proprietary. Thoy have becomo convinced that Nationalism in Ireland 1b identical with what oommunism would be In England, aud, of course, thoy aro easily aroused to fight It down. Tho Irish tories understand how to koep this English hostility alive, and they manage to mako noarly all tho ordiuury violations of the law in Ireland appear to Englishmen as crimes against property.

So it happens that while tho numbur of arrosts in Ireland, where tho police aro numerous and alert, averages much loss than in England, whero tho officers of tho law are not so plentiful nor so ontor prising, it appears to tho Englishman that tho Irish people spoud most of their timo attacking the vested rights, and ho is thus kept perpetually disposed to rulo them witli an iron hand." Whon I asked if there were no statesmon in the Conservative parly who know better, the minister roplied: "Yes, Lord Salisbury is ust as well Informed on this wholo business us Mr. Gladstone Is, and, in my opinion, Just as well disposed." Well, then, why dout ho settle it?" "Because he can't. His party comprises tho bulk of tho British laud interest. In this case that means tho bulk of the ignorance and prejudice which stand against a fair settlement of tlio question, and as the ignorant and prejudiced constitute tho majority of tho English aristocracy, tho most enlightened and liberal aristocracy in tho world, aud the potent elomout of tho Consorvntlbo parly, Lord Salisbury, in any attempt to pass a Liberal measure, would simply bo loft without a party, Mr. Gladstone, however, does uoi represent the aristocracy, but tho business iuoii and peasantry ol tho nation, if he wishes to attempt a settlement of the Irish question, in my opinion ho can dolt, and will attempt it when tho Government abandons the work." Every phnse of tho Bitualiou to night bears out tho prospect uggesfed by my informant In tho above interview.

Lord Salisbury wrote tho Quoen's spoech. It did not oppose Home Rule, but opposed separation. The Irish have not as yet askod for tho lattor or oven Intimated that they ever would ask for it. Of course, tho majority of tlio Tories believe that Home Kulo and separation are identical; honco that paragraph was simply a political play upon their prejudices. Mr.

Gladstone's address during the oveuiug of tlio Queen's speech was Otudiedly vague on most things, but it was very direct in the reply to ihe Queen's ilea for a maintenance of the integrity of the empire, that this Integrity had been Just as great during tho COO years which preceded the Legislative Tnion as it has been In tho eighty five years which have elapsed slneo. The Parnellites quickly saw tho subtle meaning in this sentenco. Thoy accepted it as a proffer on the part of the Grand Old Man to espouso tho Homo Kule cause In roturn for Irish support during tho progress of tlio debate on ihe address in reply to the spoech from the throne. Tho 'lories ovor sinco Thursday have boon dis. contented with Salisbury.

Thoy accuso him of everything bad politically, but principally of want of courage in delaying to offer coercion proposals. Tho upshot of the developments resulting from the Queen's speech will probably bo the proposal of measures certain to socuro defeat of the government. If the government aro defeated Salisbury may thou cither resign or remain in power and order a new election or appeal to tho country." If he resign of course Mr. Gladstono will be called upon to form a Cabinet. It has been urgod by tho Tories that Salisbury should, in tho event of defeat In Parliament, order anew election for tho purposo of ruining tho Irish party by the exponso.

The Queen favors tin's plan, and, in order to Insure its success, would redouble coercion in Ireland in order to socure free elections." But I have reason to state that Salisbury is opposod to it becauso of Its Injustice and because he believes that tho Parnellites would really increaso their membership. lie ia at presont disposed to resign on the first occasion which presents itself and throw the whole burden Of settling the Irish question on Mr. Gladstone. run iiusii in imkliamknt. All Interest now centers in Parliament.

Tho Irish members have concluded, it is apparent from the uttorances already made in tho House of Commons, both by Mr. Parnell, tho Irish leader, and Mr. Thomas Sexton, to adopt temperate and moderate course in their elTorts to obtain concessions for Ireland and also to give undivided support to any measures brought forward that, to their way of thinking, will bo of the loast benefit to Ireland. Several of tho Irish mem bora who havo boon quizzed as to what thoy think of tho outlook for obtaining a form of homo government, for Ireland, do not hesilato to Bay that they do not la the loast despair of ultimately gaining their point In that respect The references in the address from the Throne to Irish affairs are, ns a matter of course, construed by the Irish members, to mean that no concessions neod bo expected nor hoped for, from the Salisbury Ministry, and as one man thoy now look to Gladstone in the hopo that his philanthropic and liberal views will yet induce tho English people to concede homo government to Ireland. Boycotting, as now practiced throughout lroland seems to bo tlio mote in tho eye of the Salisbury government, and a determined effort to suppress that practice will undoubtedly be made.

The Irish aro already up in arms against threatened coercivo measures, and declare that thoy will not submit to any more tyrannical laws, but will fight tholr en Many Lives Lost in Avalanches in Colorado. Intelligence of Fatalities Coming In from Ma roon Pass Eight Men Crushed Beneath Their Cabin Terrible Sufferings of the Survivors. Searching for the Victims of Thursday's Disaster. Denver, January 23. A special from Aspen says the Marion Pass road has beon tho scone of foarful loss of life during the recent storm.

Tho horrors of Thursday havo been intensified by developments yesterday, which show the pass to bo a snow bound tomb. While men wero hunting yesterday for the bodies carried down in Thursday's snow slide word was received of another avalanche furthor up tho canon. The avalanche struck the lattor placo at midnight on Tuesday. Clayton Gauuet, Sol Camp, Charles Tut tle, Martin Iiiley, jop Farris, August Goodwin, Al Soms and Martin Patterson wero asleep at tho timo. The cabin where they wero was supposed to be safe, as it was built of hoavy timbers, but when the slide came down it snapped the tree3 as though they wore pipe stems, hurling thorn against tho cabin and crushing everything into a mass.

Martin Riley and August Goodwlu had their backs broken and Riley was suffoeatod. When tho slide struck the timber it divided, part rushing across tho gulch and burying a cabin on the opposite sldo occupied by three men, without injuring them. These mon worked their way out at noon, and started to rescue their friends. On Wednesday evening, after cutting through numberless fallen trees, thoy effected an entrance to tho cabin and found three of tho men dead and tho other five suffering terribly from suffocation. Sol Camp lay on his face dead, and tho body of Jap Farris was pinioned across the back by heavy timber.

Riley died in five minutes after the disaster. His dying convulsions nearly caused the death of the man underneath him. Camp had sustained a terrible out on the head, from which the blood flowed profusely, and boforo ho died ho became terribly thirsty, and being in a position where he could hold his hands under his bleeding head and lift them to his mouth, ho quenched his thirst with his own blood. All tho men alive wore nearly crazy when found. All were undressed anil had bitteu their hands and arms in their delirium, presenting a sickening spectacle.

They may all recover, but In tho case of one or two it is extromely doubtful. THE LONG ISLAND RAID. Thirteen of the Prisoners Dihar(red. An Officer Defies a Justice. Long Island City, Jan.

Washington, January 23. Colonel Lamont Is authority for tho statement that the President may bo expected to take action noxt week relative to filling iho office of Judge Advocate General of iho Army.

For this position Colonel Horatio C. King, of Brooklyn, is among the most prominent applicants. As far back ns last March the President told Colonel King that the office would not be filled for sotno months. Hluco that timo the gallant Colonel has not pressed his claims, resting contont wilh an assertion made on tho best authority that his desire to obtain the place would not bo forgotten when the time for action came. Colonel King has a personal acquaintance with the President, and his fitness for the of flco is as well understood at the White House as it is among his friends In Brooklyn.

His seloction would probably give riso to complaint in army circles, especially among the officers who have long been waiting patiently for an opportunity of promotion. It is principally this fact which will operate to tho disadvantage of tho Brooklyn man, in tho eonsidoration of the case by tho Executive. Colonel King Is understood to be confident of receiving tho appointment, but ho Is unmindful of tho powerful Influences at work in favor of other candidates. General Swaim, who was suspended as Judge Advocate General, will bo entirely out of the service when his successor is named, unless specially provided for by Congress. A STRIKE IX PHILADELPHIA.
