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 that: the territories could be states in time to elect senators, and Representatives to to the Fifty-first con¬ gress. Montana. Washington and Da¬ kota are republican. The si nate may 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, Crain, of is a democrat who claims the house to be democratic.

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.

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.
