Philip Speyer, sixty-fve years old,
a shoemaker, living at $40 East Eighth

COCHET'S CLAIM.
How the Original Clam Was Divided.

New YORK, May 49,
The World prints an interview with DR..
Stewart, of Philadelphia, in which he states
that the original Cochet claim was divided
into twenty parts by Peter Hevener. con-
temporary and competitor of Henry Meiggs
in Peru. Twelve-twentieths were sold. or
transferred to James Montgomery, now vice
president of the Cattle Car Company, New
York. One-twentieth was sold to the Phil
adelphian, named Carey, who died recently.
Hevener retained portion and Dr. Stewart
took what was equal to one-fifteenth of the
whole. When Shipherd appeared with his
scheme for the Peruvian Company, Stewart
was induced to part with his interest to him.
on the understanding that he (Shipherd) was
to purchase the remainder of the claim. In
fact. the doctor understood that Shipberd
made trade and contracted to purchase
shares held by Montgomery, Hevener and
others, and that he was to organize what is
known as the Peruvian Company. All those
parties refused to sell to Shipherd, but that
person went promptly on with the organiza-
ton of the company with capitalization of
250,000.0O0. The only basis for the COM
pany. therefore, was the one-f fifteenth part
transferred to Shipherd by Stewart on paw
meDt of one dollar.

PARNELL INTERVIEWED.
He lmputes the Assassination of Burke
and Cavendish to Fenians.


PARIS, May Is.
La France publishes an account of an in
terview that its London correspondent held
with Parnell before the new repression act
was introduced. Parnell distinctly imputes
the assassination of Cavendish and Burke to
Fenians. However, the responsibility, he is
reported to have said textually. must not be
attributed to the whole association. 1t has
numerous branches" possessing great indie
pendence. | am inclined to think il is one OF
these branches composed of fanatics which
prepared and carried out the assassination.
Since the adoption of conciliatory policy
by the government, the Land League has
Withdrawn the norent manifesto, but have
not thought it necessary to make public the
fact by new manifesto. We have simply
sent word round to our frien ds. he says, that
the mot d order has been changed, moreover,
it was being dsregarded many of the farmers
were paying their rent. He says he still be-
lieves the English government will be able
to rule by moderation, and he concludes that
he desires the formation of a British confed-
Grafton with a supreme Parliament and local
Parliament for England, Ireland, and other
parties to che confederation.

WASHINGTON, May ID.
The session opened by prayer by Rabbi
Jacob Voorsanger, of Houston, Tex.
Mr. Page, of California, chairman of the
committee on commerce, reported the river
and harbor bill ordered printed and recon-
mitted. Robinson. of Massachusetts,, reserv-
ing all points of order thereon.
MI. Dingley, of Maine. asked leave to re-
port from the committee on banking bill to
suspend the issue of the silver certificates
and to limit the coinage of silver dollars to
the requirements of the people. Mr.. Hol-
man of Indiana, objected.
Mr.. Grape, of Massachusetts, called up
for consideration bill to enable the Nation
al Banking Association 10 extend their cor
porate existence. After a reading of the bill
and the presentation of various proposed
amendments for printing on the Record
Grape explained its provisions and stated the
reasons which demanded the action of Con-
gress.
He said failure TO pass some such bill as
that reported from the committee would re-
suit in the liquidation of 1893 banks within
the next ten months. and would involve the
withdrawal from active use and circulation OF
s6S ,00O, 900 of lawful money. In one single
day the charters of 297 banks would expire
by limitation, requiring the retirement Of
S54 600. 600, and this would result in strin-
gency leading to panic.
Mr.. Bland. of Missouri, considered the
national banking system as legalized robbery.
advocated unlimited coinage of silver and
denounced the silver certificate bill as crime.
Mr.. Dowd, of North Carolina favored the
pending bill.
Mr.. Flower would vote for the bill, but
favored an amendment requiring the banks
to h5 ,txr sth a al
Several amendments were offered and
ordered printed for information.
The latter then went over.

FROM WASHINGTON.
A Point for Woman Suffrage.

WASHINGTON, MAY l3.
The Senate select committee on woman
suffrage, three to two, today, agreed to recon-
mend to the Senate. for adoption, Senator
Lapham's joint resolution proposing the fol-
lowing amendment to the constitution, art-
Gle XVI, sec. L: 1.-The right of citizens of
the United States to vote, shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States, or by any
State. on account of sec. and Sec 9. Con-
gress shall have power, by appropriate leg
islation, to enforce the provisions of this arti-
Gle. The vote was as follows: Ayes, Lap
ham, Blair and jackson; nays, George and
Fair; absent, Anthony and Ferry.
The Tariff Commission.
The statement that Henry Oliver, Jr., of
Pittsburg, will at the unanimous request of
the Pennsylvania Congressional delegation,
be placed upon the tariff commission to rep
resent Pennsylvania. is authoritatively de-
clared untrue so far as the democratic men,
bers of that delegation are concerned. They
have made no such nomination, nor do they
favor placing on the commission persons rep
resenting special interests.

Dispatches received here says Senator Hill,
OF Georgia, is able to sit up and is in better
spirits than he has been for month. Still
his physicians do not give him any hope.
