Washington, D. C\, Nov. bo.—A l¬
though the latest returns from several
of the disputed congressional districts
are such as to lessen the chances of the
democrats for getting control of the next
house, they have not all yet given up

of the districts to teli what the majority
will he for the party that will have tlie
upper hand. It must he confessed, how¬
ever, that the republicans at this writing
appear to have the advantage over their
opponents, and that is why some of tlie
democrats have given up all hope.
Representative Springer, of Illinois,
said this afternoon: "We are going to
try very hard to pass tlie bill admitting
to the Union the territories of Washing¬
ton. Montana, Dakota and New Mexico,
and we shall certainly pass the Oklaha-
naa hill at once. The next house will
undoubtedly be republican by a small
majority, and I suppose the republicans
of both houses will have no objection to
strengthening that majority. The ad¬
mission of the territories will no

insist on a division of Dakota, and such
an action would probably block matters
for a while. I am in favor of any rea¬
sonable compromise. I am, and have
been, in favor of the admission of those
four territories on broader ground than
that of politics. I sincerely hope that
we shall be able to pass the enabling act
during Congressman this coming session.” Texas,

advocates of a prohibitory tariff, but of

Dublin, Nov. 30.—[BpeciaL]—The po¬
lice are closely guarding Richard Pigott
and James Lysaght Ffnigan, who are
the suspected authors of the forged let¬
ters alleged by the Times to be signed by
Parnell. It is expected they will tw
placed in the witness box before the
special commission in London next week
to confess their criminality. Ptgott was
suspected of treachery to the Irish cause,
even when he was engaged in conduct¬
ing two journals of advanced nationalist
opinions. HU journalistic enterprises
having failed to meet public approval he
has since 1881 been thanking God he had
a country to selL He ia thoroughly de¬
spised and hated iu Ireland. Pity even
more than contempt Is expressed for
poor Finigan. His connection with the
forgeries lias caused the greatest sur¬
prise. He was the first man elected to
parliament as a supporter of Parnell. He
was very popular in this country, where
he was known as the "Dashing Lysaght
Finigan.”
In 1870, he exhibited splendid courage
•n fighting for the French, in the Frnneo-
Prussian war.
In 1879 he retired from a lucrative po¬
sition on a London journal to join his po¬
litical fortunes with those of Parnell. It
is said that he is now a mental wreck,
and totally incapable of keeping his
thoughts fixed on any subject.
His great grievance seems to be that
in ... out of parliament and for this he
hi ilUs Parnell responsible. It it thought
his testimony will not be accepted by
the commission. It is now known
that Philip Callan had no direct connec¬
tion with the forgeries, although he is
now scouring the country to procure
evidence to bolster up the charges of the
Times. Callan, who Is a briefless bar¬
rister, was banished from the Irish par¬
liamentary party by Parnell, who sus¬
pected him of divulging its secrets to
the government. He has squandered and
the handsome fortune he inherited,
he is now in almost abject poverty. The
suspicions directed against John O'Con¬

OCT ON A STRUCK.
flow 40,000 to SO.OOO Men Out of Eui-
pl 07 maul
London , Nov. 30.— [Special. j— From
40,000 to 50,000 miner* are now out on
strike for some days,'and it is feared,
unless a settlement is speedily arrived at,
that this city will suffer severely this
winter from a coal famine.
The strike was occasioned by the de¬
mand of the men for an increase of
wages.
The mine owners offer statistics to
prove that it is absolutely impossible for
them to accede to the demand and avoid
bankruptcy.
Since 1875, there has been a continual
glut in tlie coal market, and the conse¬
quence was that prices ruled low. In
1881 the official value of the coal raised
in the United Kingdom, taken as a
whole, at the pit’s mouth was $2.12 per
ton. In 1888 it was not more than half
that sum.
Either the cost of working the coal
must have been reduced in the mean¬
time or the margin of profit must have
become very much narrower. In the
principal coal fields ot Great Britaiu the
trade has not yielded an average of three
per cent on the enormous capital invest¬
ed. Since 1879 the number of coal mines
in operation has been reduced from 8,948
to 8,382. If neither side gives way it is
expected be in a strike week in or the two 240,000 trade will of
out on a coal
the country.
The iron trade is therefore likelr to
suffer severely, as well as other indus¬
tries. The production of iron and the
consumption of coal in this country in
1888 was 7,009,754 tons and 14,299,715
tons respectively; which of strike this total, tlie dig
tricts in the is now in pro
graee, turned out 4 815,725 tops of iron,
and oop*umed 9,403,283 tons of coal.
The furnaces of these districts must now
stop If the strike Is continued many
days. Unless a settlement is speedily
arrived at, it is feared there will be
much suffering among the miners this
winter.

There is to be an executive board of
three, which shall devote its entire at¬

therewith. One of the three is to be

New Y’ork, Nov. 80.—The Times of
this morhing says; Mr. Jay Gould spent
the greater part of Thanksgiving Day in
trying to convert President Cable, of the
Rock Island road, to a belief in a big
railroad trust, by which it is proposed to
remedy abound all the evils and demoralization
that now in the shape of rate
cutting wars. One of Mr. Cable's cloae
friends, speaking for him last night,
said: “Mr. Cable does not think the trust
scheme is as strong as Mr. Gouid doe*.
It can be fairly said, I think, that he is
less opixioed to the scheme than he waa
before he listened to Mr. Gouid this af¬
ternoon. He and Mr. Gould are to con¬
fer to-tnorrow."
