MISS FANNIE PARNELL,
what She Says About Her Brothers.
Arrest.

"Charles Stewart ParneIl should have
been arrested a year ago." said Fannie
Parnell, sister of the Irish agitator, to a re-
porter OF the Philadelphia Press on Friday.
Miss Parnel was in the best of humor.

''is that the English Government Committed
olunder If they believed the Land League
movement was OF any moment, In not nip
ping II In the bud, instead of waiting until
1t had bloomed into a widespreading flower.
Not that wish they had been far-eeeing
enough to do this-by no means. am glad
they have blundered, and am glad for an
other reason: My brothers. arrest must
silence forever the absurd suspicion that
existed in few disloyal minds that he was
In collusion with the British Government.
Instead Of checking the operations OF the
Land League, England has given It a fresh
impetus Instead Of bringing obloauy upon
Charles Stewart Parnell she has popularfzed
him more than ever "What mistake It
was, to be sure," continued Miss Parnell,
laughing. "The idea of waiting until Ire
land was permeated with the idea, from the
GIANTS CausewaY to Cape Clear, until the
whole civilized world was familiar with
1reland's protest, and Land League.became a
familiar household word. How absurd
Had England taken this step a year ago, as
said before, or even after the passage Of
the coercion act, 1t would In all probability
have put serious damper upon the land
League and its propagation if it did not
kill 1t altogether. Now the opportunity
has passed. From a pulling infant the Land
League movement has grown to be a giant.
The looping off Of finger cannot affect It.
My brothers mission was so nearly ended
that his ideas can be carried out perfectly.n
Miss Parnell went on to say that she thought
the result OF the arrest would be the aboli-
tion Of trial by jury, and most likely the re-
arrest Of John Dillon, that bright political
diamond who has stirred Irish blood into a
knowledge Of what Irish rights are. Jury
trials are dead-letter now.
''How was the news of the arrest received
by Mrs. Parnell, your mother ?" was asked.
"My mother worried over 1t somewhat
was the reply, because she looked at 1t as
q personal grievance, while my first thought
was Of the probable effect on the country;
and, having once settled that in my mind,
gave myself no more concern except as TO
my brothers health. | fear he may suffer
If he is kept confined for any length of time.
Looking at the matter In public light"
said Miss Parnell, in conclusion, 81 think
that England has made confession of fear,
and that the cause will be benefited and
the Irish people drawn more closely togeth-
er by my brothers. arrest"

TIE GREAT GALE.
WidesPread Damage In North Ger
mRnY-uany Vessels Wrecked.

LONDON, October 17.-Great damage and
loss Of life throughout North Germany re-
suited from the late gale. The river Elbe
rose twelve feet above its normal level, and
was covered with wreckage. Several YES
sells were stranded at Altoona. The loss of
petroleum is enormous. Five German yes
sells were wrecked at Bremen, and some
members of their crews were drowned. The
gale extended to Paris, Havre, Dieppe and
Calais.
British and foreign vessels were wrecked
last week, being an increase OF fourteen
over the previous week. The approximate
value OF the property lost is 9S,OOO, 900, of
which the sum of $4,000 900 represented
the British losses. Etghty-fve vessels,
principally British, were lost off the
coast Of the United Kingdom dur
ing the recent gales, against only twenty
wrecks in the early part of the week in all
ports of the world. One hundred and thir-
ty-eight persons were reported lost or miss
ing. Accounts received subsequent to the

The Complaint of Sand Packed Cot
BrddstTeet.

BTGdStTeet.
The Secretary of the Oldham (England)
Cotton Spinners' Association has written a
letter TO Colonel A. d. Shaw, United States
Consul at Manchester, declaring that thou
sands of tons Of sand are paid for bV the
Oldham spinners as cotton, in consequence
of fraudulent packing. Word to this effect
was received by cable few days since. At
first reading 1t seems to be serious charge,
aud one which should receive prompt at
tention. On further examination, however,
1t will be found that the complaint is in re-
ality Of little Importance, and that 1t is, in
fact, unjust and untrue. The wording of
the complaint is that cotton is fraudulent
lyn sand packed. II It were so furnished, the
buyer, whether in Europe or this country, is
already fully protected. By the rules Of the
Liverpool and Of the American Cotton Ex-
changes, under which all cotton is sold, the
buyer has an immediate remedy at the
hands of the seller, who is bound to take
back and repay for all such cotton. 1t
therefore cannot be for "fraudulently pack
ed" cotton that the complaint is made, but
rather on account Of "sandy cotton" 1t is
no doubt true that at times spinners buy and
pay for sand as cotton, as some years, es-
pecially in very dry seasons, a good deal of
sand gets blown into and is baled up with
cotton, but its presence is plainly seen
in the samples by which the cotton is sold,
and always causes cotton to be sold
cheaper than would have been the case II it
had been clean. The allowance, or reduc-
ton In price, varies according to amount of
sand from &c. to &c. or &c. per pound.
Last years crop, howkyer, was not sandy
crop. In consequences of wet and stormy
weather during the picking season, It did
include a considerable quantity Of low,
stained, sticky, trashy and dirty cotton. This
was caused by the open cotton being
blown out of the bolls to the ground.
Dirt clung to it, Of course. and
being picked from the ground it re-
manned mixed with the cotton. Its presence,
however, was clearly shown in the grade and
samples, and still more clearly In the prices
paid. Some of this cotton was sold as low
as &c. per pound, and at 5a7c. per pound
large quantities were sold. This, at the
same time that clean cettons were bringing
1OA12c. per pound. The sellers or produ-
GERS of this low grade cotton cannot be
blamed. for damage done; on the contrary,
they call for sympathy. The buyers, on the
contrary, knew they were buying an infe-
rior grade because It was cheap.

BRIEF NEWS SUMMARY.

1t is stated that the Turkish force at
Tripoli will be raised to 30, 900 men.
Robert Bishops cotton waste factory in
South Boston caught fire Yesterday from
the friction of machinery. The damage is
$35, 900; fully insured.
The Arabs on Sunday appeared close to
the city OF Tunis, pillaging the neighboring
farms. Gen. Logerat has decided to repair
thither to protect the railway Immediately.
Charles P. McGrail, recently enlisted in
the regular army, was found dead in the
suburbs Of Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, ap-
parently murdered. He came from YaZoo
City, Mississippi.
Charles Sidney Duffel and Philander
Shower have been arrested at Waverly, and
Alexander Trousdale, John Hutchins, Lewis
Harrington and John McStevens at Paris,
Tenn, for dealing In counterfeit coins and
notes.
At the school district election in Fayette-
vile, OnOndaga county, New York, direct
issue was made on "woman's rights" and
the woman's candidate was chosen. It is
the second election carried by the women
IN that place, and gives them control Of the
School Board.
All the election cases on trial In the United
States Court at Wilmington, Delaware, have
been continued until the second Tuesday in
January. The reason is "the scarcity of
jurors All the cases of this kind given to
juries have thus far resulted in disagree
ments.
The nitro-glycerine magazine belonging
to the Roberts Torpedo Company, two and
half miles from Bradford, Penn, contain
ing three hundred pounds of nitro-glyce-
rine, blew up recently. 1t is believed the
explosion was caused by an attempt of bur-
glars to rob the safe, and there is evidence
that two men were blown to atoms. For
several rods around the ground was ploWed
up as II by an earthquake, and huge trees
were blasted and scattered about. Some
fragments of flesh and clothing were found.
The buying I'D of Confederate bonds by
party In New York is no longer a matter of
conjecture. He has his advertisement in
the papers, with the number of his place of
business in Wall street, and the price (s2 for
every 81 000) he is willing to pay for them.
In addition to the facts heretofore stated in
connection with the business, it is ascer-
tanned that pool has been formed at Am
sterdsm, with a view of appealing to the
honor of the Southern States, and inducing
them to exchange their State bonds for
those of the ConfederacY.
Mr. Parnell's mother, who is just now
stopping at the New York Hotel, in the
course OF some conversation, said: 81 regard
the arrest of my son as the climax of the
Gladstone rule. He found Parnell could
not be intimidated by the imprisonment of
Davitt, Dillon and others. There is little
doubt now that other prominent Leaguers
will be arrested at an early day. The Land
League movement will be increased tenfold
on this and the other side Of the Atlantic,
and whether Mr.. Parnell is in jail or not he
will have plenty Of supporters to carry on
his cause"

Inviting the Prayers of His People
Pilgrims stoned.

ROME, October 1.-THE Pope, in his ad-
dress to the italian pilgrims at st. Peters
yesterday, stated that the deplorable state
Of affairs placed before him the alternative of
enduring continual captivity, made harder
daily, or of going into exile. He therefore ask
ed Catholics to watch and pray for the liberty
and independence of the Pope. He con-
cluded by saying that he was no longer Sc
cure in his palace. That he was outraged
in his person and dignity in thousand
ways. The gravity and earnestness of the
Pope made a profound impression. He
closed his address with his arms raised to
Heaven, as though imploring help.
LONDON, October IA dispatch from
Rome to the Times says "that it is impossi-
BILE to describe the enthusiastic cheers after
the Pope gave his benediction on the above
occasion. The Pope looked thin, worn and
anxious. A gang Of roughs pelted the pill
grims leaving the Church OF st. Vetale,
shouting down with the Vatican"

The announced resolution of certain of
the residents of Fort Davis Ito believe
in the innocence or Lieut.. Flipper, what
ever the verdict of the court martial
may be, borders very closely on the do
main of the burlesque. 1t assumes that
that the officers of his regiment are
capable of joining in a criminal con-
spiracy against him, and that there is not
one honorable man among them. A
presumption of innocence IN behalf of
Lieut.. Flipper is proper and commenda-
BILE, but presumption of guilt on the
part of all his brother officers is not so
clearly reasonable or just. There are
