Mr.. Parnell Wants Irish Manufactures
Encouraged.
DUBLIN, Aug.-Mr. Parnell, writing to the
editor of the United Ireland, a new paper in
the interest of the Land League, says: 81 am
much pleased that you intend to make the de-
velopment of the industrial resources of the
country and the encouragement of native man
ufactureS the leading features of your paper,
I think the time is fast approaching when we
might do much to assist the re-establishment
of Irish manufacturers by encouraging our
people to use home made in preference to En-
glish made goods. I am disposed to believe
that, in regard to articleO not at present manu-
featured to any extent at home, we might use
the products of American factories. This
would tend to act as indirect protection to Irish
manufactures as it would encourage the origi-
nation of works for the purpose OF manufac-
turing such articles at home. The organizes
ton which the Land movement has fostered
would be very important in assisting such a
movement"
Rev. DR.. Thomas W. Croke, Archbishop of
Cashel, also writes to the same paper, urging
the editor to encourage Irish industries in pre-
ference to patronizing foreign goods.
Premier Ferry Yields to Gambetta.
LONDON, Aug. 12.-The Paris correspondent
of the Daily News says: The Havas agency,
in reporting Premier Perry's speech at Nancy,
omitted the following passage: IF it be desir-
ed that the union of the Republicans should
be continued by the will of the country, it
matters little who the man may be to finish
the work. Should some one be found with
more powerful hand than mine to effect this
union, I am ready to assist him as first lieute-
nant." The correspondent says this is general
ly understood to be complete submission of
M. Ferry to Gambetta.
Russia and the Turcomans.
The correspondent of the Daily News at
Meshed telegraphs August 9th: II have ar
rived here after a weeks march from Merv
Previous to my departure council was held
of the entire body of Tekke chiefs. They de-
sire me to absolutely deny the rumors of ne
gotiations on their part with Russia and also
the presence of three Merv Elders at st. Peters
burg. Persia seems very anxious to secure
the allegiance of the Mervli, who strongly OBJ

The Situation in Tunis.
A dispatch to the Times from Tunis, dated
tine 1Ota inst, says: The marauding bands who
have hithero confined themselves to the dis
tricts east and south of Tunis have now COM
menced depredations in the country in the di-
rection of Algeria. 1t is stated that some
mountain tribes of the border have also revolt
ed, but it is impossible to ascertain to what
extent. Most Of the French troops are moving
in that direction, which tends to show that the
disturbance is serious. There are only about
300 French cavalry in the city of Tunis, so
that it is impossible to check the depredations
of mounted Arabs.
