THE o'DoNNELL CASE.

I
LONDON, Oct. 17.-On the announcement
of O'Donnell to-day Mr.. Sullivan read az
affidavit of the prisoners solicitor. That
the solicitor of O'Donnell at Cape Colony
had called there were important Witnesses
there who could be called to testify in the
case. Attorney General James stated that
he would not oppose the application for
postponement of the trial if the names of
the witnesses were inserted in the aMdavit
and the drift Of evidence to be given by
them were indicated: After remarks by
Judge Denman it was decided to postpone
the trial. Previous to Sullivan's applica-
hon for the postponement ODonnell was
brought into court and in response to the
question of judge as to the charge of
murder preferred against him pleaded
"not guilty" in careless and Indifferent
manner. General Roger A. Pryor,
O'Donnell's American counsel was in court
seated behind the junior counsel. He was
the object of much attention on the part
of spectators. Luxuries and food of the
best kind are daily sent to O'Donnell from
a tavern adjacent to the prison. Machinery,
an Irish lawyer, is coming to London to
assist in the defense of O'Donnell.
REFORM CONFERENCE.
LEEDS, Oct. 17.-John Bright arrived
this afternoon unexpectedly and attended
Morley on opening the conference was
greeted with cheering. lie announced
that five hundred liberal associations of the
Kingdom were represented. He expressed
strong opinion that the government
should bring in county franchise bill at
the next session of Parliament, because
the whole liberal party in the commons,
excepting, perhaps, Goschen, was united
in believing the question could no longer
be delayed. If the Lords raised objection
to the movement it would be very danger
Gus for them. T'ntters expressing sympa-
thy with + questions he discussed were
received fron IroveIyan. secretary for
Ireland, John Bright and Crawford, the
miners secretary. DR.. Dale moved res
olution asserting it is the duty Of the gov
ernment to introduce a bill dealing with
county franchise at the next session of
parliament. John Ills, chairman of the
Nottingham Liberal association, seconded
the motion. Mr.. Furth proposed an
amendment in favor of the government
giving precedence to the county govern
ment and London government bills. Jo-
seph Arch the well known labor agitator
was present, also many distinguished lib
eral members of Parliament and the hall
was crowded with delegates and spectators.
Firth's amendment was rejected by
large majority and the original motion
carried. A motion that any measure for
extension of suffrage should confer the
elective franchise upon women fit to vote
was carried. The latter motion was sup
ported by Misses Golden and Bright.
LONDON, Oct. 17.-O'Donnell has been
indicted on the charge of the murder of

in order that they might be brought to st.
Paul to answer for the greater crime.
At the last session of the
grand jury, the case was brought up
and to further clinch matters both Under
hill and Washington were indicted for
murder in the first degree.
In the meantime considerable diploma
cy was going on between Mayor O'Brien
and Gov. Hamilton, but the former, with
his usual fine tact, laid the pipes
which achieved success and
after an unusually spicy and interesting
correspondence, q telegram was received
from Sprinfeld last Monday to the
effect that Governor Hamilton had
decided to commute their sentence.
In accordance with this intelligence de-
tective Bressett and secretary Armstrong
left for Chester last Tuesday night and
they are expected to return with
their man tomorrow or Saturday.
The case is one of the most remarkable on
record and both Dective Bresset and Mayor
O'Brien are entitled to the highest pos
sibIe reward and credit for the admirable
manner in which it was worked up.

commission of the United States and the

world most needs. At the close of the
session the members repaired to the
Palmer house and partook Of a banquet

A LITTLE SENSE.

The Senate Subcommittee Picks up Lit
tie to Season its EIass of Nonsense.
Boston, Oct. 1.-THE senate sub-com-
and DR.. Wright for the bureau of labor and
statistics. BE said that from '73 to '78
economic conditions we're very bad and
fair estimate Of the condition of working
people could not be made; wages decreased
and since then, up to 80, there was an in
crease in trade production and wages.
Since go there has been a large decrease
in profits and but little decrease in wages.
DR.. Wright asserted that legislation is the
last thing which comes from such investi-
cations. Legislation is simply
reflection of public sentiment
which has preceded it and thus public sem
timent is sure to rectify existing evils
when those evils are brought to the atten-
tion of the people. TIE statistical pro-
gress of the state indicetes i3s general pro-
gress.
Charles L. Harding, president of the
Mechanics Woolen company, said the con-
dition Of manufacturing industries is not
very prosperOus-in consequence of man
1acture being IN excess OF consumption.
1t is useless to talk of exporting woolens,
for we cannot compete with any other
country in that line. Free trade
would put an end to the
woolen trade for the time. It
was a lamentable fact that Americans are
working out of manufacturing, aud for
eigners are doing most of the work.
Harding inclined to give an abso-
lutte opinion as to whether it would be ben
efcial to the country at large, to kill
wooden manufactures entirely. The present
duties are high enough, and if further
reduction is made on raw materials, the
mills can stand it. Any further reduction
in the price of manufactured goods must
come out of labor.
Geo. G. Richardson, selling agent for
number of the large cotton mills, said
the educated operatives earn better pay
than ignorant ones, and production would
increase with education. He advocated
a reduction of duties on raw material.
Cotton and wooden industries come in
conflict in this country, and if there was
free trade the cotton industry could thrive.
Recent Chinese legislation had injured the
China trade. He deprecated strikes.
