ers shouted, "The future Lord Mayor
Carey" but tho latter shook
his head menacipgly at his former
C c,mrades. The examination was then
resumed. He spoke more cofdontly
than he did Saturday and replied to
the crosse examination of counsel
sharply and testily. He deposed,
amid Kisses by the prisoners, that he

the Suprems Council. Tho object of

thought probable he will return imms
diately to London and give the au
thorlties opportunity to arrest him

Mccarthy said Sheridan Was know
to Parnell merely as an active Leagu
organizer, and his relations with Pal
nell were merely In that capacity, tn
latter knowing nothing of his charac
ter. Frank Byrne, McCartey said,
q man in constant Ill health
He held position In. the Ian
confederation ever since the time O
Butt and Shav. He was known t,
all members OF the Irish party as
quiet, respectable man. McCsrth,
said he had spoken to many of tn
members and all agreed 1t was incon
ceivable that Byrne could have hat
any thing to do with the murders. Hi
lnse act before going to France was t.
refuse testimonisl which his friend
had raised on account of his feebl,
health. He said he could not accep
anything while the country was in 1T
present miserable state. The onl,
time Byrne was left any discretion
was while Parnell was imprisoned,
but 1t is hardly conceivable he ther
listened to any advice on the part o.
fanatics.

bers of the league will be arrested
Including the managers of the land
league funde. The names OF six

army and became colonel during the
Franco. German war. Towards the
close of the war he came to Ireland
with letters from the Bonspartistu,
his object being to raise force, which
he enlisted ostensibly for the ambu-
lence service. He served principally
under Gen. Bourbaki..

of the Pheuix park murders Is only
half unfolded. We must await the
