What Is Known of mo. L" in st. Louis,
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 20.-General Nc
Adaras, who is suspected by the English
authorities of being the mysterious
mo l." connected with the Phoenix
Park murders, is we'll known
in st. Louis. He is an Irishman by birth,
but was raised in France; he was an officer
in the French army, and served in the
Franco-German war. He first came
here in 1865, in connection
with the Fenian movement, returned
again in 1878 or 1874, and married a widow,
Mrs. Orchard, nee Doyle, a lady of large
wealth. He lived here about two
years and then went to Europe.
They spent most of their time
in Great Britain and on the continent, and
have a fine place at Bordeaux, France. They
were here about two years
ago, since when they have been
in England, France, and other European
countries. 1t does not seem to be known
here whether the General is connected with
any Irish societies, or whether he has taken
part in any of the events with which his
name has been mentioned.

The Irish Question in the Commons.

AHO AAS 2oCStAOh III SAO
LONDON, Feb. 20.-In the House of Com
mons this afternoon, Trevelyan, Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland, was again questioned about
Sheridan. but declined to give any further
Information regarding him than that he gave
yesterday. He referred the question to Mr..
Parnell.
Sir William Hartcourt, Home Secretary,
declined to answer a question by Mr.. Dick
son as to the prospect of arresting Brennan
Sir William Harcourt earnestly denied
that there was any communication between
the government and the suspects in Kill
mainham Jail, except through Mr.. Forster.
Mr.. Gorst said it was generally believed
that the employing of persons engaged in
outrages to suppress them was forced upon
the government by Mr.. Chamberlain, presi-
dent of the Board of Trade. He believed Mr..
Gladstone, in the Kilmainham treaty, was
made the dupe of an inner circle of the cabi-
net, which, like the Irish ~Inyincibles, had a
number of outbreaks and outrages always
accompanying the accession of Liberals to
power.
Harcourt said Mr.. Gorst had no right to
base his speech on the evidence of one wit
ness. He would not take the trouble to re-
pudiate the charge of engaging a man whom
he knew to be plotting to murder his COL
league. He admitted that the government
had failed to stop crime at first; it was owing
to the ineficiency of the police.
Mr.. Gibson, Conservative, asked: "Will
nobody, for very shame, show the Land
League balance?''

The Portland Press says of Dorsey's alleged
secret history Of the last Presidential campaign
This is Dorsey's promised bombshell charged
with asafudita to befoul the character of the
Republican leaders who have had anything to
do with his prosecution as Il swindler of the
government. The relation if true is confess
sion of conspiracy in infamy in comparison
with which the Star route frauds were honest
and piOus performances of public duty. If it
be not true, its author is even more infamous
than if it be true. Whether true or false no.
body with honorable instincts will longer doubt
that Dorsey was quite capable of the Star route
swinding that was charged. In reading his
tale it will be well to remember the legal maxim
that the story of one who accuses others of
nfamy in which he confesses participation is
not to be believed without corroborative evil
dence.
