DAvITT'S REPLY.

LONDON, June 5.-Davitt has written 8
reply to the pamphlet entitled @The Truth
About the Land League, published anony
mously some weeks ago, and extensively
circulated throughout the United King
dom and now reissued under his own
name by Arthur Arnold Forster. son of the
ex- Chief Secretary for Ireland. The pur-
pose of the pamphlet is to show how the
land league and those connected Herewith
had in view the commission of outrages,
mutilitation, plunder and murder. Evidence
is supplied by extracts from speeches and
newspaper articles.
Davitt's reply is that the evidence has
been garbled, hossages have been persist
emily removed from the contest. He says
it is to arouse prejudices and kindle vote,
for which opportunity has been afforded
by the Dublin assassinations, the purpose
of which he designates as wicked and hate
full at time when efforts of good men OF
both sides were being directed to allay
passion.
HAS not Forster" Davitt asks. ''done
mischief enough without FORSTER, Jr.
coming forward now?' 1t was
the s.Forsters' centuries, he maintains, who
stung Irishmen to madness and helped
to make the people of the two countries
hate each other so that the accursed sys
tenn might be easier to rule and ruin
To the charge made in the pamphlets
that in 1879 Davitt was committed as O
felon. having been engaged in the plot to
murder, Davitt replies: What he did
de in 10 is no proof of what he did in 80.
Il drew up the charter of the land league,
says Davitt, 'andI drew up the instruc
tions to organizers from that time until
orders of Forster reconsigned me to con-
vict prison. ] made hundred speeches
why doesn't Forster make quotations from
any of these if he would find me guilty OF
melting outrage and murder; the answer is
he cant, defy him to name an instance
wherein ] did otherwise than decry force
and protest outrage"
Davitt concludes with high compliment
to Herbert Gladstone, and congratulates
the premier on having got rid of Forster

pressed they will be troublesome if an op

without clue to the perpetrators of the re-
cent train outrage. A large number Of
arrests have been made but all have

CROP REPORTS.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, June 5-The rains of
Friday, Saturday and Sunday have brought
out gloomy messages from some of the
corn counties in Illinois, Farmers begin
to fear that it will be impossible to finish
planting in time to secure crop, and that
the growth of corn already up will be Sc
riously retarded. This morning, however,
the sun rose to clear day. The weather
is growing warmer every hour, and the
prospects are for fine corn weather that
will largely compensate for the rains. A
little warm sunshine would work revolu-
ton in the appearance of the farm lands.

| fight to-day for his inter state commerce
bill in the House He wanted the resolu
ton adopted discharging the commerce
committee from further consideration of
the subject and fixing Tuesday. December
18th as the date to consider his bill. The
railway influence was noticeable in
defeating the proposition. Regan and
others contended that the commerce Gem
mite had had the subject in hand nearly
six months and though they knew the
country demanded speedy action on the
subject they had not reported either of the
bills before them regulating the taraffic and
freight charges of railroads. The appeals
of the railroad men had their effect and
the House refused to discharge the COM
mite by a vote Of 113 to rs they not re-
ceiying two-thirds vote.
