Capital Notes.
STAR ROUTES.

Washington, Sept. 9-Shortly after 2
o'clock this morning the jury in the star
route case came into court and reported
they had been unable to agree upon
verdict and asked further instructions.
These were given by Judge Wylic at con-
siderable length and the general ten.
dency was strongly against the defend
ants. At their own request the jury
agree to take their notes to their room
and again retire. They will report at 2
o'clock this afternoon, to which hour the
court took recess. as the impression
seems to be that the verdict will be re-
turned at that hour.
SUSPICIOUS MOVEMENTS.
Since the remarks of Judge Wylie yes
terday there appears to have been sys-
tematic attempt to create the impression
that the prosecution has been the guilty
party, and it is suspected that some one
representing himself as an official of the
department of justice has made improper
overtures to several of the Jurors. The
fact remains however, that he was not an
official and that his conduct was but a
part of scheme of one OF the defendants
to create feeling against the govern
ment prosecution. 1t is alleged that certain
parties have been brought here by the
government from New York and Phila-
delphia to look after the Jurors, the de-
fendants and their counsel. One of the
latter tonight said he recalled that
whenever he took walk on an evening
during the summer his steps were con,
stantly dogged'b by somebody and that
suspicious looking men would every now
and then cross his path and keep track
of his movements. Concerning the EN-
ployment of trusted men te
report to the government officials
whatever was regarded as worth report
ing was not denied. The government, in
turn, had been as vigilantly watched. Il
may be an interesting chapter to heal
how narrowly one of the defendants
came to turning states evidence, and
how, when it was suspected he was max
ing overtures to the government, he waf
shadowed and thereafter kept under con
slant surveillance by the other defen
dants and his intention thwarted.

AFFAIRS IN FOREIGN LANDS.

MIR. PAJ}NELL ON THE NEEDS OF IRELAND.
LONDON, Dec. 1s.-Mr. Parnell in his speech at
the banquet gwen in his honor in Cork yesterday
said that he would always oppose any attempt oi the
Governm'n to land demiQants ma helpless and pen
Less Coz dit onion the shores OF the Eastern States
of America. IT, he said, England desired TO promote
the emigration of Irishmcn, let them be placed on
land in America provided with houses and means TO
raise crop the first year Of their residence lie al
vocated relief for thickly settled districts by pur-
chasing large tracts of grazing land in Ireland
which were occupied before the famine. There was
no reason, he sad why they should not be peoped
again.
Mr.. Parnell estimated that f3, 100000 OF arrears
of rent would be wiped out by the Arrears of Kent
act. He believed that since the beginning OF tho
agitation f3 600, 900 in reduction of rent had oeen
obtained for the people. 1t would take the Lana
Courts, under the present system, twenty-five years
to settle rents. Such a settlement he said, could
never go to the root of the question, which could
Only be settled by the establishment Of n peasant
proprietary. The claims Of labOrcrs required lmme-
diate attention. which must be brought about by
agitation and organization. He intended 10 urge
everybody 10 induce tenants to borrow money from
the Board of Works to improve their holdings and
afford employment to labOrrrs during the winter.
Such borrowing would also have the efecr, of PROV
ing that nants ought not to have 10 pay lannlords
