Washington, Jan. 4. When the house coinage committee met this morning Representative McCarty read a communication from William E. St. John of New York, a banker, arguing in favor of the senate bill, and ridicul-ing the prediction of dire disaster made by the opponents of the bill if it should be enacted. Francis G. Nowlands declared that Germany would never have succeeded in demonetizing silver without the co-operation of one of the strongest na-tions on the earth, the United Slates, llismarck himself had since pronounced the movement a mistake.

GLADSTONE TO TALK TONICHT. ila Will Call l'i tha Kellclua lllsabllltr 11.11 in Parliament. Loniwn, Fob. 4. Special to Till: Times.. Gladstone will tonight in par-liament call up the religion disabilities bill, and it is nxpected t iiat he will speak ill support of the measure at great length. He lias been hoarding his strength for this groat effort, which will, it is thought, create a profound impression on the country. The bill is intended to remove the reinaiuing dis-abilities of the Roman Catholics. If passed it wiil enable catholics fo hold the offices of English Lord Chancellor and Irish viceroy from which they are new excluded. It i9 believed that if the bill should become a law and (Hailstone should again become prime minister that he would at the earliest opportuni-ty appoint Sir Charles Russell, the emi-nent lawyer who held the ollice of attorney-genera- l in the last liberal cabinet, to the lord chancellorship. Gladstone is warmly attached to Rus-sci-who is admitted by the former to be the English lawyer of '.he age. Rus-sell on his part, has siuce his entrance into parliament, been a consistent sup-porter of Gladstone when iu or out of ollice. Sir John l'ope Hennossy hs been dissuaded from his intention to move, on the second reading of the bill, if it should reach that stage, an amend-ment to premie the sovereign also to be a Catholic. The l'arnellites insinuate that Hennessy, who has been a toiy, would have made the motion to amend, for no other purpose than to embarrass Gladstone, well knowing that hisaetion would deprive the original bill of all chance of serious consideration, had not McCarthy induced him to abandon his intention. Ilennossy is liable to be-come a person of much concern to the McCarthyites. lit) has already given indication that he is not a blind follower of McCarthy, and even that ho is not averse to aspiring for the honor of leadership himself. When in parliament before, although not asso-ciated as at present with the Irish party or faction, he achieved distinction, lie is undoubtedly a man of great ability and of a positive character. It is not, therefore, likely that for the privilege of occupying a seat in parliament, hu will meekly submit to the dictates of McCarthy. Then he is determined to attempt to win distinction again. Ho feels as it lie were lost signt ot in me Kilkenny contest, aiid therefore his pride is hurt. During that famous con-test his name ratcly appeared in the newspapers, while Parneli, llealy, Davitt and even Sexim. were reported fully both in the English and Irish press. Even thougo his term iu parlia-ment has been brief he has more than once came into collision with McCarthy, and he is likely to assert his indepen-dence of the party any day.

The McCarthyites were also in the con-ference. The results of these delibera-tions will be published at the end of the week. There is no truth in the report of an absolute settlement of matters. Parneli yesterday informed his collea-gues that he believed that iu a few days homo rule, such as he had always demanded, would be assured. The Express says Parneli has com-pelled McCarthy to adopt the attitude Parneli vainly asked him to assume in November. The F',xpress adds that signs multiply which indicate that Par-neli has forced tho liberals and that the liberals intend to "stand or fall by a drastic sweeping home rule." Money wan the first to succumb; then Labou-cber- e after declaring Parneli insane, endorsed the "madman's" demand.

In the house list evening when the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill was under consideration, McKcnna of California, replying to MrCreary's criticism, a few days ago. of the liirnmdia case, de-fended the action of Minister Mizner in the mutter. If he iMcKenua) under-stood Mincr's situation, he w;is sup-ported by every publicist of repute. Mizner had as strong a regard for the lla aud as tcnderseiisitiv "oness towards it as any gentleman on the floor, lie (MeKenna) asserted that iu his situation at the post in Guatemala Mizner did himself honor and his couutry honor. Dalziel d Pennsylvania came to the defense of Commander Reiler. indue time he proposed to submit some re-marks in support of these propositions: That the secretary of the navy had no right under the law to administer a pub-lic reprimand to Commander Reiter, as he had done by an insulting letter pub-lished in the press; second, that Reiter aud Mizner followed international law as practiced in the hist fifty years in the country's history. Hitt of Illinois made a most eloquent defense of the state department. He reviewed the case at length, and said, in closing: "(!od grant that no man of any party shall be ever secretary of state who w ill not disavow tho act of a minister who orders the surrender of a political victim who trusts to our pro-tection, and the act of a commander who sits supinely with two war vessels at bis back and permits such a bloody tragedy and disgrace to our national name. This morning McKinley asked unani-mous consent that during the remain-der ot the session the house meet at 11 a. in., but Rogers of Arkansas, object-ed. The house then went into commit-tee of the whole on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill; during the debate on the bill McAdoo of New Jer-sey, gave his hearty assent to the posi-tion taken by the secretary of state relative to reciprocity with Canada. The I'nited States should have unre-stricted trade and commercial union with Canada, hr it should have no com-mercial relations with her. The only .solution of the problem, the "solution unsought by the United States," was that the people of Canada should, iu thoir sov ereignly, ask for annexation, which w as the ultimate destiny of Can-ada.
