As the legislative pKfis of the government are still indistinct, and Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Ohnmborlfiln and Lord Randolph Churchill have to deflno their respective positions, the programme Of the Irish members will, of necessity, be largely an expectant one. There was something of a dispute as to whether Mr. Thomas Dixon, who may be regarded as the leader of the Gladstone Liberals in Ireland, or Mr. Timtrthy Healy as a Nationalist, pure and simple, will be the Parnell candidate for the Bonth Donegal seat, vacated by the death of Mr. Bernard Kelly. The constituency is strongly Nationalist, and the party nomination is equivalent to an election. It is argued by the Home Rule Liberals that Mr. Dixon should have the 'seat, partly as a resignation of Mr. Gladstone's claims upon the Parnellites, partly because his presence in the house would have a beneficial influence upon Mr. Lea, of South Londonderry, and Mr. Russell, of South Tyrone, the two Irish members of the Unionist Liberal party. The matter has finally been settled by the selection of a third candidate, Mr. Swift McNeill, a Protestant Nationalist, "whose election by- a Roman Catholic constituency will, it is thought, have a favorable effect in Ulster. Mr. Healy, however, will not be left out of parliament, as be is to succeed Mr. Justin McCarthy in the northern division of Longford.

Dr. South wick, of this cfy, another member of the commiHsio.', Went to Albany to mpflt Mr. Matthew HaJe, the third member. Before his departure Dr. Southwick was asked what the result of the commission's labors would be. He replied: "The weight of opinions expressed in the replies received by tho commission to the circular sent out to prominent lawyers, judges and others, asking their views on the subject, is against hauling, and in favor of electricity. The report, therefore, will be in favor of the adoption of some electrical apparatus for execution. That is the end toward which I have been working for six years." said the doctor, "and if tho report of our oonimission does not cnlminate in the passage of a bill abolishing hanging I shall begin to think that I have been working in vain. mission's Kepnrt. THE IRISH ORATOR SPEAKS TO A LARGE AUDIENCE. A WOMAN'S STORY OF A TUMBLE Teat Ctw. THIS WEEK. DOWN HILL. Dkb Moines, la., Jan. 34/—If or tho first time in over a year and a half the brewer it* of Des Moines opened their places of business Saturday for the public sale of beer by the glass. Since the prohibitory law went into effect, July 4, 1888, they have opened under a permit from the county board of supervisors, but sold nothing in quantities of less than a quart, strictly for either culinary, sacramental, medicinal or mechanical purposes, and under no circumstances to be drank on the premises. These permits expired on Jan. 1, and the members of the board, getting into a wrangl.- as to who should be granted permits, rejected all applications. Since - then the breweries and wholesale dealers' hare apparently done no business. Herotofore tho chief reliance of beer drinkers has been the Milwaukee bottled article sold by druggists, but when the announcement was made that foaming lager fresh from the keg was on tap at the broweries there was n grand rnsh. All day long the thirsty orewil surged around the bars and the business of the breweries was only limited to their capacity to supply. "We inteAd to sett for the pur]Dose of perfecting a test case to_ be _ taken before the federal court," said one of brewers interested. "Judge Brawer has virtually decided that the state has no power to close up our places of business and confiscate our projierty without compensation. We propose to raiSe that same question in the United States district court in Iowa, and get a decision one way or the other." ■la Faith la the Irish Causa Seems to be Btronc—He Intimates that His Countrymen will Kesort to Force If lite Senate Bala at ' Kasplng Closed Daws Do— Mat Suit Correspondent*, teraont'l Senator aid the Elevator.

Especially is this rash to be the order in the senate, which took up to-day, %*onlin3 to notice given on Friday by Mr. Edmunds, the report and the bill on the fisheries question.

N*w York,; Jan. 24.—The grand demonstration tendered to Michael Davitt in Madison Square garden last evening was one of the largest affairs of the kind ever held in this city, the entire building being packed to overflowing long before the time announced for the exercises to begin. The general admission was fifty cents, with reserved seats at 91 and 91.60. It was estimated that fully 10,000 persons attended. Gilmore's band enlivened the proceedings with numerous popular airs, among the selections played being "The Wedding March," "St. Patrick's Dny," "The Harp That Once Through Tara's Hall," and "The Irish Patrol." Nearly every Irish society in the city was represented. There were also delegations present from Irish societies in the New England states, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The streets in the vicinity of the garden were packed by a dense crowd unable to obtain admission. Chicago, Jan. 24.— Mrs. T. J. Townsley, the Chicago lady who was in the stage coach that toppled down Independence Pass, in Cblorado, last month, hat ,1'Wt cd ijjt this city. Mi's. Townsloy saj; "At daybreak on Dec. 16 I was awakened at my hotel in Leadville and informod that the Aspen stage coach was waiting for me. It was bitter cold, aud was snowing so hard that the driver had to pilot me to the coacli. I had on a heaVy double fold droBS, a sealskin sacque, a Buffalo robe pinned over my shoulders, my head covered by a fur cap, and my face enveloped in a shawl, allowing cn aperture for my eyes. Despite all these protections I was cold. The coach was drawn by six horses. We were preceded by the Granite coach, which was on rannors. The road over Elk Mountain will admit of but a single coach passing. At the apex of the mountain the Granite coach halted in a station blasted out of the rock and allowed us to go ahead. Here the descent began. The road at this point runs at an incline of 45 degs. Ths driver put on his lock chain to the wheels, thus virtually converting them into runners. The vehicle, despite these precautions, and by its own weight went down at a frightful pace. We could barely keep our seats. We balanced ourselves as best we could. Running up from the truck and through the box of the coach'was a perpendicular bar of steel called the king pin.. I clung to this and managed to keep myself right side up. Down the narrow path, in the side of the mountain, we went with the horsee in a mad gallop to keep the coach from running them down. We were rounding Independence Pass, when suddenly the driver called: ubsidiesd tmllroads, mpdWrtitty presents. The till nftiMthlng ■■ " o uental station fc the » Mltlttr, wd ttumure ha.

Mr. Ford introduced the speaker of the evening, who was received with cheer* and waving of hat* and handkerohiefs lasting for several minutes. Mr. Davitt said the circumstances under which the demonstration was held, in his opinion, made it one of the greatest and grandest that had ever assembled in the Empire City. He felt proud to address such an assemblage—one that had gathered to send a message of good cheer to Ireland and also to send one of warning to Ireland's enemy.

Quinn, the master workman of District assembly 49, had telegraphed from Philadelphia with reference to the coal strike, that on Monday all the men in the coal mines and on the coal wharves, and Knights of Labor on the railroads would suspend operation!.

During thaws in winter it ia swollen into a small river, which runs with great rapidity, fiorfs over the precipice near the Whirlpool Rapids' park, and falls Into Niagara river. The creek was in this swollen and turbulent condition Saturday evening when a handsleigh, In which was seated Bertha Farrell, 4 years and 10 months old, slid down the current, which was running rapidly. No sooner had Bertha got into the Stream than her sister Blanche, aged 10, jumped in after her and both were swept into the sewer. An alarm was raised and a rush made for the month of the bewer to prevent the little ones from going over the precipice. Men, secured by ropes, got into the water at the outlet of the sewer and waited for the children. Little Bertha came out first. She was under the water and caught under a log. goon afterward came Blanche, floating on top. Both children were from appearances lifeless; not »ven a breath or a beat of tho heart was discernible, and it took long Ad patient work to bring them b$ck fcp }ife. The children passed underground fully a quarter CJf a mile and were In the watir ten minutes, most of the time submerged. "He never finished the sentence. He had been holding the coach as near the embankment as the narrow pass would permit. Ahead of him be saw a heavy boulder topple and fall down the mountain side and into the path. This caused him to make the cry of warning. The obstruction was but twenty yards ahead of him, and It was beyond human power to stay the impetus the coach had gotten coming down the incline. I saw the driver leap. Inside we all held on to the king pin. Down we went, and in another instant the forward wheels struck the rock. The hind part of the coach wm thrown forward and outward, and tpue king pin snapped like a reed. The box, with all in it, went over the precipice on Its side, and through the window I fell out. Lees fortunate than myself, the coach and my fallow tourists lodged in a crevice on tho side of the precipice some 180 feet below the road. I was thrown out with such foreff that I cleared this crag and kept on and down the full 400 feet to the bed of the canyon and into a bank of snow, cutting my way into it, as if it was water, head first. Tampa, Fla., Jan. 34. —For fully two months trouble has been growing; out of the fact that a cigar firm of New York, Ybor City and Havana has refused to employ Cuban cigar-i makers. The factory turns out about 900,089 cigars and cigarettes a week, and gives work to over 1,000 hands. The .Cubans bays' a federation, or trade union, and the AmeriAtts are all members of tba Knights of Labor. It is between these two bodies that the bad blood has been engendered, principally by' 'the refusalof the superintendent of the fao-, tory to listen to any of tlra proposals for arbitration proposed by the Cuban federation. vay to a it is beplace.i visible otipn of be kepi V"* After referring to an article written by Mr. Labeuchere, in which he denounced the English government for its inhuman treatment of poor tenant farmers in many parts of Ireland, he said 110 people on the face of the earth had shown more patience for law and order undqr trying circumstances than the people of Ireland. He believed that it would be an act of insanity to reeort to undisciplined force to oppose disciplined power. (A voice—"We don't know about that.") Ireland must achieve her liberty and be one of the countries of the world. God only knows for many yean we hava smothered down feelings of bitterness caused by the cruel treatment of the English government, but the time had coiqe wheq unless Ireland's just claims were recognised thousands of Ii Ishmen would show to England that justice oould be vindicated against even such a great government as Great Britain.

The formers of Ireland were weighed down with taxes amounting to (70,000,000 a year, and even with the assistance obtained from America it was now almost impossible for the farmers to pay rack rents to landlords.

After speaking of the good feeling generally existing between the workingmen of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, who, he said, would stand by the side of Gladstone In closing great career by trying to restore to Ireland the power and freedom that had been stoldn from her, Mr. Davitt concluded by saying that he could not pass over in silence the course of his friend Father McGlynn. He thought that if Dr. McGlynn had been defending England or opposing the Land league in 1883, instead of advocating the cause of the Irish people, he would not have been warned from Rome to stop, and might have been archbishop of New York to-day. For the interference of the church at that time Mr. Davltt blamed Cardinal Simeoni. He thought Df. McGlynn should go to Home, and rely, \tpon (air treatment from the pope.

The Granite coach just to the rear of us' pulled into a notch In the rocks, and the driver and some prospector* got out and began to climb down to where I had lodged. Armed with shovels, they began to dig me out, and it is curious to relate that the only flesh wound I received was from the blade of a shovel, which ploughed up a furrow in my ankle when they reached me. I was finally dug out, unconscious, and to all appearances dead. Restoratives were administered, and I was taken up and carried tot the toll bouse at the head of the elift.
