The Pops's Letter-An Act Of UnwarranI- able Iuterfersnee-sO Think the Lead CTS or the National League.
 DUBLIN, May 16.-At the meeting of the
 National League in this city today SC veral members of Parliament spoke on the subject l of most recent interest, the Pope's letter, and | widely diverse opinions were expressed, most
 of them; however. unfavorable. < The strong est opinions were those of Mir. Kelley and
 MT. Mayne, both members. Nr. Kelley said pointedly that..the Pope's letter was an affront to the Irish people and to the Irish priest
 hood, and was one which would be resented
 at heart if in no other way. MT. Mayne, the
 member from Tpperary, also resented the
 interference of the Vatican. He alluded to
 Mir. Parnell as the head of their political
 church and they should be guided by him in
 political matters even if he did not identify
 himself with their religion. It would be
 found that they could take their theology
 from Rome and be guided by it in spiritual
 matters, while at the same time they refused
 to be guided by the Pope in political mat
 ters at all. MT. Harrington, while not ridi- culing the letter, devoted long speech to
 belittling it's effect on Irish politics. He believed it would have no effect at all and if it did the effect would be only 8 temporary one and the letter would be easily and soon forgotten. The church and politics had never been mingled in Irish affairs unless that could be inferred from the patriotic and purely personal actions of few individual priests, and it was now too late to mingle them to the detriment of the Irish national ist party's chance of success. MT. Biggar, the member from Oavan, was cheered when in his opening remarks he hinted that at present it might not be desirable for him to speak with great freedom upon the pend ing question or upon the policy of the gov ernment. He thought members should ex- press themselves with all due freedom, but in inofensive terms, and that the papal letter should be received with all due respect by the league, against which it did not bear heavily He believed that the best immediate means of aiding the home movement would be to prepare as actively ss possible for general election, which might not be far distant (cheers), and in which the Irish people could show the government that despite measures of repression their strength was increasing, not lessening. They wanted stronger unit ed Irish party in the Commons composed of able conservative men who were willing to sacrifice individual opinions and preferences for the good of their whole country.

Parnell's Opinion of the Letter.

LONDON, May 16.-Mr. Parneu is reported to have expressed himself as satisfied that the government party were endeavoring to produce spirit of Reorganization in the new National League by making false use of the Pope's letter forbidding active polii- cal agitation against the government by the Irish clergy. MT. Parnell says that the pa- pal letter is more advisory than mandatory, the Catholic church not being state church. If such letter should be addressed by the Church of England to the clergy of the es- tablished church it would undoubtedly be mandatory. But there being no such politi- cal relation between the Church of Rome and the Irish people the utterance of the Pope would be properly appreciated and obeyed by the Irish Catholic clergy without in any sense interfering with their real political freedom of action.

BOSTON, May 16.-May Appleton, aged twenty three, a woman of ill repute living at 14 Ashland Place, was probably fatally shot at 3:30 this afternoon by her parsmour Har- ry c. Watson, a reporter on the Boston Her aid, who lived in the same house. Watson entered the house and requested the woman in presence of the landlady to go to his room with him. She refused, whereupon Watson drew a revolver and fired at the landIady and missed her and then shot Miss Appleton, the ball entering her left shoulder and penetrat- ing the lung. Watson at once gave himself up.

The Accounts or the Rr1dge rruatse..

ACCOunGS
 BROOKLYN, May 16 The experts appoint
 ed by Mayors Low of Brooklyn and Edson
 of New York to examine the amounts of the
 Brooklyn bridge trustees from the beginning
 of the work down to the day of the opening
 of the bridge have almost completed their investigation to date. They report that they
 have examined every voucher and find every dollar of money paid to the trustees properly accounted for except $20,0o0. They can &C., count for $15,O ,OO0 of this discrepancy and think they will be able to account for the balance by clerical errors-. They pronounce the system of bookkeeping used perfect ex- cept perhaps the receiving books in which they find some errors, but say that consider ing the nature of the work and the magni- tude, the period of its continuance and the immense amount of money paid out the accounts were kept in remarkably good condition. The experts say they have personally examined every scrap of paper relating to the bridge ac- counts, and find absolutely no ground for any of the charges of fraud which have per- sistently been made by John Kellys organ. There has been no direct appropriation inn- properly of moneys belonging to the bridge by any person, although the experts think that some persons in authority over the bridge may have been in interest in contracts in the earlier part of the work. An error was recently discovered by which 8 granite company had overcharged $3 ,OOO, but the company when their attention was called to it promised to settle up the amount. The persistent opposition of Tammany to the bridge work is now explained by the state ment that the construction of the bridge has been carefully kept out of politics. The Brooklyn bridge it is claimed Is the only great municipal undertaking of the past quarter of 8 century of which this can be said with truth.
