reference to the oommittee on foreign
relation^
Whereas, the correspondence be
tween the governments of the United
States and Austria-Hungary, which
baa been transmitted to tne senate by
the president, shows that Hon An
thony M Kelly, ot Virginia, was, on
April 29,1885, appointed minister to
Austria-Hungary; that on May 9,
1886, the government of tbe United
States was rfflolally notified by the
government of Austria-Hungary
that “tbe position of a foreign
envoy, wedded to a Jewess
by oivll marrisge, would be untena
ble ami even impossible In Vienna,’’
and on August 4,1886, the govern
ment of Austria-Hungary declared
Its determination not to receive Mr
Kelley aa minister from tbe United
States.
XUaolved, By the aenaU aud house
of representatives, that the position
assumed by this government
and the principles t (Armed tn
the said correspondence Dy the sec
retary of state meet with an unquall
fled approbation. Tbe conetl'utlon
of the United S ate- provides that no

aa a qualification to aryifflee or
public trust under the Untied 8ta es,
ar.d whilst sincerely aDxtoustn main

of his religious belief or that of hie
family.
Vest etrongly commended the
course - f Secretary Btyard iu the

Milwaukee;, Deo 21. — James
Kribia, au employe of the Milwaukee
oar shops, was bitten on tie oalfol
(he right leg by a dog about twenty-
five days ago, but did not experience
any trouble (ill iaet Friday, when
premoniioty symptoms of hydropho
bia seized him. He complained of a
severe piicking sensation at the
wound and at points along his right
side to tbe crown of bis bead. He
bad a swelling i’n tbe throat, wes
uuable fo swallow and restless to that
extent that be could not sleep. He
was taken to the bath establishment,
tbe theory having recently advanced
here that a treatment of Turkish
bathe would care tbe disease If taken
in time Saturday Krebta passed
five hours in the sweat room with
the temperature at 85 degress, and
Sunday pasaed two hours there
Stturday night he had eight hours
sleep aod rest, and Sunday again
slept soundly. Tbe dangerous symp
toms Lave disappeared and the man
expects to resume his usual work to-
dav. Should they not return, tbe
theory.that his disease has been
brought on by imagination is dis
proved by tbe fact that be gave no
attention whatever to the dog bite.
He is a Bohemian and not a reading
man, and knows nothing whatever
of the symptoms of hydrophobia.

Tbe situation at Nantiooke is un
ohang°d. At 1:30 this afternoon tbe
relief tarty were etill pushing toward
tbe imprisoned men and* have been
spurred oo to greater efforts by a
signal they bad reoelved which In
dicates that there is life beyond.
Tapping upon the air pipe was
beard by tbe rescuers and they na
tural ly co: elude that there ie good
grounds ol hope, that at least some o'
tbe men may be rescued alive. It Is
the opinion of some of the beet
miners that they oannot reach the
men for some days, owing lo the ex
tent of obstructions. Others are
sanguine enough to'expect that they
will reach the men within the n< xt
ten hours at longest.
TUB HE SC UBIIS INTERRUPTED.
About 9 o’clock this evening the
work of tbe rescuing party was sud
denly interrnpted by another foil of
raod, rock and calm. Tbe men
were working on a steep incline
when a vaat mast of debria came
crashing down toward them with
great violence. They fled for their
lives, and although they eaoeped
uninjured, several of them had
very narrow escape*. Tbe work of
digging for the imprisoned men ia for
the limebeing suspended, but tbe
offloials tn obarge are making stren
uous efforts to overoome the difficul
ties and continue their labors. They
hope to have matters so arraDged iu
an hour or two that work may be
proceeded with.

Dublin, D c 21.—The grand Or
ange lodge of Irelaud held a meeting
lu Dubllu to-day todevlee means for
xpprvlng the sobeme of borne rule for
Ireland. A large number of peers
and several loyalls’s members of the
house of commons wi re preseut. A
manifesto addressed to the Orange-
luru of Great Britain was drafted aud
wilt be poced throughout Great
Bitainund Ireland to-morrow Tbe
uianifeato ia subs'autlaily aa lollowe:
The aspect of afiaire in Ireland was
never more menacing than at pres
ent. Protestantism in three of the
four provinces ie at the meroy of
avowed conspirators, who are en
deavoring to overthrow the rule of
tbe Imperial government. The duty
of all true Irishmen ie plain. While
unwaveringly upholding Orange
principles and abating not
one jot of our conscientious
opinions, we shall cordially
welcome all who are willing to assist
In keeping lntaot the bond ot unity
with the great empire of which we
are proud to form not an unimportaut
part. Our little band of loyalists
finds itself in a position of unequaled
difficulties. We are greatly outnum
bered by members of tbe Irish
nitloual league—delegates direct
heirs and successors of land league—
which even the libtiai government
was foroed to suppress as illegal and
which ie answerable for many thou
sands of tbe outrages. A email but
firmly united baud of loyalist mem
bers of tbe house of commcue, by
energy and determination, may con
vince their English brethren that
tlte loyalists represent the industry
and intelligence of Ireland.
If the Part.ellite faction does not
succeed wholly in its endeavor to
sever the union by degrees, one of
the first points which it will seek to
obtain will be the complete control of
educational matters Tois would
give the Parnelliies control of
tbe rising generation, while
command ot the to Ice would
make them master- ol the pres
ent generation. If tbe police
should be commanded by Parnell's
nominees, as would certainly be the
oaseln the event of the Paruellltes’
demands being granted, tbe loyalists
would l>e placed in u worse position
than that of their ancestors unde
the rule of tyranny. The slightest
relaxation of tbe thsoft'.e union
will eventuate in tbe separu ion and
ultimate ruin of the c untry It will
establish a drill ground for hostile
armies and dock yards lor foreign
fleets in the most vu In treble part of
the empire. Therefore, we appeal to
tboee realizing our Imminent peril to
stand Bhnulder to shoulder in defense
of the union and in promotion r f the
oau-te of loyalty, liberty and religion,
for G^el, the queen and the country.
Tbe manifesto is signed by Lords
Erne and Enniskeien.

in t! • house respecting an importas
tirn of glassware by L Lehman,
which, be said, would be promptly
answered as soon as adopted and
rent to him. Any other specific in
quiries addressed to the department
by el'ber bouse would receive imme
diate and thorough attention. Mr
Manning remarked that be bad, in
his annual report tooongrese, describ
ed hie own ideal of the collector of cus
toms at any of tbo great ports, aud
he bad distinctly intimated bis own
conviotlon that a satisfactory execu
tion of the present tariff law would
severely test the beet efforts of a ate ff
of the best officeis that the oountry
could supply Tbe point ol the
attack now,he said, Is the appraising
department, and for obvious reasons
ho should, he s>«id, firmly aud
earnestly uphold 'he conscientious
conductor those cflicers against all
comers
The oollec'or at New York,‘he
bald, was necis' arily and naturally
assail, d by se tl - h interests, because
in css" of a dieegreenieiP between
the two renpprulsera his decision is
final. The srere ary had no di ubt
(hat the senate and the country
would discriminate buiwean the ex
isting tatifl system, or rather tbe ■ x-
tstlng tariff chaos, created by the law,
and the (ffirera who adminis
ter that system of chaos. It will
be difficult 6ii< ugh to execute
the existing law with the very best
of subordinates, and it would bs tils
effort to efficiently use such instru
ments as may be placed in his bauds
by Ihe president and the senate, to
whom the law bad wisely confided
the selection of the chief oustouis
> ffimals.
The civil aervloe law has, Mr
ManuiDg added, pruciioally taken
away from the treasury de-
par ment the selection of suoh of
the mrst important subordinates
as examiners, weighers, gaugtrs at d
measurers. The general appraisers,
the appraisers and assistant apprai
sers are nominate!) by the preiident
and confirmed by the senate. Mr
Mannlt g said that he expeols soon af
ter tbe holidays to send to congress a
special report on one branch of the
cuati ms system, and the project of a
law which, it adopted, will work
therein a needed reform.
The secreiaiy concluded by saying
that it is vital to the publio .welfare
that in tbecuetomhouse matters there
be ooDoert of action, a good under
standing, and pleasant forms between
tbe senate and; hi ad of tbe treasury
department, and added, “I shall do
my u'moet to promote this, and shall
not unduly intrude my party affilia
tions or nuy (arty p ejudlcee, which I
nevertheless hope and believe are
reasonably stron g.”
