An Inventor lead.
t New VoitK, Dec. 31. The morning
papers say the republicans of New York
are holding consultation relative to the
recently contested election results int
this state. The . paper says : 'JThere
was a meeting'of the republican leaders
of .the state last night. Those present
were Senator' Hiscock and ex-Senators
Patt and -Warner . Miller collector
Hendricks, Chauncey M. Depew, Chair
man of the Republican State Committee
Brookfield and Col. George Bliss and
Jos. Choate as counsel. Just what has
been done none of the gentlemen pres
ent would say, but all were unanimous
in saying every legal means will be ex
hausted before a surrender is made.

can senators will refuse to join in the
organization of the senate.
The Steamer Oregon lteported I.oKt.
Pobtland," Ogn., Dec. 31 .: A rumor
was in circulation this morning that the
steamer Oregon had been wrecked off
the Oregon coast, but a careful inquiry
failed to disclose any foundation for the
report, v The Oregon left San Francisco
-last Tuesday and was doe at Astoria thia
morning. Telegraph ' communications
with Astoria, which were interrupted by
the recent storm, have not been restored
yet, and nothing can be learned from
the mouth of the Columbia. The Ore
gon has on Doard twenty-two cabin, and
thirteen steerage passengers. Fears are
also entertained here concerning the
safety of the steamer Michigan, which
left Seattle a. few days ago for this city,
loaded with coal. The steamer was due
at Astoria yesterday but nothing has
yet been heard of her.: It is thought
that during the storm ehe put into some
harbor along the Washington coast an(l
has thus been delayed. -

equal amount of domestic fleeces, which
was for a long period - conspicously in
active and was accumulating in quan
tity. ; : ' ' " .' . ' . ' '"

Dublin, Dec. 31. A decided sensation
was. caused in this city today by the
rumor that the "physical force" party
had resumed operations here and that
their first attempt was made against
Dublin castle, the official residence of
the Earl of Zethland, viceroy of Ireland.
A number of workmen are employod in
making alterations lately in and about
the castle. One place which is being
overhauled was the office directly under
the room in which the privy council
holds its meetings. ,". While the workmen
were pursuing their occupation there
was suddenly a tremendous report in
the office above referred to which, shook
the building, nobody being hurt. The
police were immediately notified and
began an investigation into the affair.
The damage to the castle is very heavy.

which has been learned at the depart

necessary prudence and that he will

, Santiago, de Chili, Dec. 31. The cor

on what he declares to be the highest
authority -that . Chili . . would not feel
hnunilated in helping to the utmost, of
her power to terminate peacefully and
in a manner honorable to both herself
and the United States the conflict which,
but for the lengthy and secret form of
criminal procceedure ' followed ,in
Chili, which allowed constant false re
ports, hostile to the good understanding
to' be propoga ted abroad, could never
have attained such exaggerated propor
tions. "

The Siege of Yemen.
London, Dec. 33. Truth, Labou
chere's paper, . publishes an article on
Canada's " future, drawn out by the
troubles in. the province of Quebec.
Truth' says it is the manifest destiny of
the Dominion to become anew United
States, or -to become attached to the
great republic. The change is inevitable,
and the sooner it occurs the better.
The emancipation of the grotesque do
minion and its absorption in the United
States would be a benefit to Canadians
and also to Great Brthtin. Such a
course would relieve Great Britain of
the necessity of engaging iu transat
lantic squabbles in which she has no
concern. It would, moreover, give the
Canadian energy" and enterprise which
no mere colonists can possess. The -only
sufferers would be the Indians who
would be transferred to the tender mer
cies of what is probably the most cor
rupt and rascally institution on earth
the Washington Indian bureau. The
paper further says that Canada once
tree, Australia would soon follow. The
talk of Australian loyalty to the British
crown, Truth says, is" all "buncombe.
.-. High-Toned Chilian Refugees.
Washington, Dec' SO. A dispatch
.states that the fact was developed at
yesterday's cabinet ?nee'ting that the
refugees at the American legation in
Santiago are proving a great source of
embarrassment' to the administration.
In the event of hostilities between the
United States and Chili it would be im
possible for this government to afford
them any further protection. In the
event of "war Egan" would be given his
passports and permitted to leave the
country in safety, but not so the refu
gees. It seems, too, the refugees are
proving themselves a white elephant on
Egan's hands. They insist upon being
entertained in the most hospitable
fashion, and they seem to feel their
right to the best which the legation af
fords is unquestioned.
thm Missouri Train Robbers.
San Fbancisco, Dec. 30. A woman
giving the name of Florence Waterman,
has been arrested by' detectives here. and
it is claimed she has not only acknowl- -edged
being the wife of Marion Hedpetb
who is suspected of 'being one of the -gang
of train robbers which held up the
train at Glendale, Mo' November 30,
but has given information which may
lead to the arrest of other members of -the
band in addition to Albert Sly who
was arrested last week in Los Angeles
by Detectives Pinker ton and Whitaker,
and who was taken east on Sunday with
out the formality of extradition papers..'
Trying to Save the Ice.
. Thcckee, Dec. 30. Two feet of fresh
snow fell last night. A large, force of
men are striving to keep the various ice
ponds clear of snow, but enough work
men cannot be obtained. The finest
crop of ice ever known on the Truckee
river is ready for harvesting, and all the
companies had commenced storing; $10,
000 will be expended, if necessary, to
save the ice'erop.. Hundreds Jo f spanejof
horses are drawing scrapers over the ice
constantly, and a regiment of men with
shovels are busy. - Two rotary snow -plows
and all the push plows are being
used to keep the road clear.
An Attempt to Break Jail.
London, Dec. 30. Sensational reports
are in circulation to the effect .that the .
convicts in Wormwood Scrubs prison .
mutinied.' None of the convicts, how
ever, escaped. A number of prisoners
determined to make a break for liberty,
and Saturday last attempted to put their
plans into, effect. During religious ser
vice thirty of them sprang from a bench
and made a - rush for the main door.
The wardens were not caught napping,
however, and the, convicts had hardly
started before they were checked by re
volvers. j :
