PARNELL ON THE IRISH SITUATION.
FRANCE.

PARIS, November THE Ga nbettish
organ, lie Paris, says the current rumors
relative to the composition OF the Cabi.
net are premature.
On the resumption of the debate on
Tunisian affairs, to day, in the Chamber
of Deputies, Naquet reproached the
Government for concealing the truth
regarding the expedition and disorga-
nizing the army rather than incur un'
popularity by resorting to partial mobil-
zation on the eve of.elections. He declar-
ed tbatin accordance with parliamentary
tradition no member OF the present
Cabinet could take office under the
new Ministry. Lefour (Republican)
severely criticised the military admins
tration OF General Farre, particularly his
neglect OF sanitary measures.
At meeting OF the shareholders
Union, General Bonton emphatically
denied the reports that the Union was
a Catholic organization, which used the
funds of converts and religious congre-
gatians for the purpose OF Bourse spec
ulations. Referring to the enormous
rise in the shares of the company, he
stated it had not participated in the
manouevers that led to that result. The
intention OF the Union, he said, was to
promote trade in Servia, second the
efforts making to retrieve the credit OF
Austria, and develop the hitherto un-
worked resources of Brazil. Resolutions
were passed to raise the capital OF the
Union from l00,000,000 francs to l50,-
100000, by creating 100000 new
shares to be issued fully paid up, at
three hundred and fifty francs premium,
namely, $50 francs, and sanctioning the
paying up in full of the 100000 ex-
isting shares, upon which oniv l25
francs per share has been paid, bv max
ing available for that purpose 10000 900
francs out OF the profits to the Both OF

duce. After these operations will have

CORKHILL'S DEFENCE.


Another Slap at the Attorney General.
WASHINGTON, November At the
opening of the Criminal Court this
morning, District Attorney Corkhlll
made long personal explanation TO the
effect that Cook was appointed by Mac
Veagh and as special assistant attorney
OF the United States, charged with the
prosecution of the Star Route cases
Corkhill had, therefore, not been con-
suited in connection with the prosecu-
ton. Cooks consultations had been all
with the Attorney General, whose as
sistant he properly claimed to be. tie,
Corkhill, could not know anything otti-
cially OF the case, or be in the slightest
degree responsible for IL. He denied
that the present proceeding by criminal
information bad been rendered neces-
sary hy his adjournment of the grand
Jury from the 10Th OF September TO the
Sd of October. On the 5th OF Sep
tember he called upon Attorney Cen
eral MacNeagh and informed him that
he would have no business ior the grand
Jury when it assembled, and that II
there we're any OF the Star Route cases
ready for presentation, the grand jury
was at his service for three weeks, 9TH
erwise he intended to adjourn the grand
Jury until the first Monday in October.
The Attorney General then informed
him that since the Presidents assas-
sination he mad not given the Star
Route cases special attention, that he
knew nothing OF them, and that he
(Corkhill) need not bother himself abort
them; aud that when his services, or
those OF the grand jury, were required,
he would be notified by person having
special charge OF them. Uuder the cir.
cunstances the grand jury was resplted
for two weeks On the 18th OF Septem-
ber he was informed by Cook that the
Attorney General wished to see him,
and in company with Cook he called on
the Attorney General, and was then re-
quested to sign a criminal Information.
lie then protested against the abuse
which ne had been receiving and against
the insinuations that had been publish
ed about the adjournment grand jury,
and he said if the Attorney General as
his superior officer made statement o!
simple facts, this abuse would be at once
silenced.

Parnell on Rents.

LONDON, November Mr.. Parnell
was interviewed by two prominent
members OF the Home Rule League on
Saturday. He said that the recent judg
ments at Belfast agreed with his esti-
mates. That the rents in Ulster should
be reduced to the Gritiith's valuation.
He believed the reductions in the south
OF Ireland would not be as large, and
consequently would not satisfy the
tenants. Any general reduction OF rents
to Griitith'S valuation would, because OF
the extent to which the land IS mort
gagged, deprive the landlords OF the
means OF living, and compel the Gov
ernment to buy out or compensate.
Parnell admitted the possibility Of
many tenants settling directly with the
landlords.
DUBLIN, November AT large
meeting OF tenants upon the estate OF
Sir John Ennis, at Athlone, it was
unanimously resolved to demand an
abatement OF their rents, and in the
event of refusal, they will apply to the
land court. There are upwards OF i've
thousand tenants on the estate.
Landowners view the great reduc-
ton in rents that have been made with
alarm, and apprehend, il the same prIn-
cple is carried out, their prosperity will
be confiscated to large extent. They
believe the principle OF the commission,
adopted at Belfast, in the fixing OF rent,
will hold out a premium to indolent
and incompetent farmers and visit in.

CHICAGO.
Glut in the Grain Market-Lake
Navigation Practically Closed.

CHICAGO, November There are
now about 13,OO0,O 900 bushels of grain in
store in this city-a stock very much
larger than usual at this time OF the
year. Navigation is practically closed so
far as sailing vessels are concerned, and
many crafts are going into winter quar-
ters. The propellers still in commission
take grain TO Buffalo merely as ballast,
the ireights being too low TO make
the undertaking profitable This
being the situation OF affairs it
will be seen that the railroads will soon
have all they can do to move the grain
now in store to the seaboard. Freights
have already advanced to 20 cents per
hundred, and it is not doubted that be-
fore snow flies they will be up to 80
cents or more. The indications are that
the Eastern trunk lines will thus real.
ize more Handsomely V on the late comers
in Chicago than in any other interest.
The legitimate grain trade OF this city is
almost in state OF collapse. Fictlclous
prices and enormous stocks have done
the business. A few months ago. when
famine year, flour was purchased by
every dealer in enormous quantities
The transactions in this staple on the
Board OF Trade few weeks ago ranged
from three to five thousand barrels a
day. Now the figures are three or four
hundred. The demand for flour en-
hanced the price OF wheat, OF course,
and the market being glUtted with flour
there soon appeared great disparity
betWaen the prices of the two articles.
The shutting down OF the Northwestern
mills, even if carried out in good faith,
will not affect the price of wheat per-
manently Every farmer is a bull on
wheat, and the Impression here is that
the crop will command higher prices

Reduction of the Whisky Tax.
The Internal Revenue Bureau does
not favor the proposed reduction OF the
whisky Tax from ninety to fifty cents
per gallon. In his forthcoming report
Commissioner Raum will neither recon-
mend q reduction nor will he advise
directly against it. He will state the
amount Of revenue derived from whisky,
and that the proposed reduction will
cut down that amount without beneht-
ting the producer or consumer. Revenue
officials regard this movement for the
reduction as inaugurated wholly by the
middle men, and say they would make
all the profit. The whisky trade will
also oppose the reduction, as millions
OF dollars worth OF whisky is held IN
bond, and to rednce the tax would de-
moralize trade badly. The Commits
sioner may, in his report, point ont this
effect. There will be determined
effort made to get Congress 20 reduce
this tax, and 1t is said big lobby, with
plenty money, will be here in the inter.
est oil the movement. The influence OF
the Treasury and the Revenue Bureau
will be against reduction.
