who, early in September, was sentenced to six
months Imprisonment for refusing to give bail
for good behavior, was today released uncondi
tionaly from the Galway Jail, in which he had
since been confined. 1t will be remembered that
Father Fahey interceded with agent Lewis. of
the Clanricarde estates, in behalf of a number of
tenants belonging to the priests parish, in
Woodford, and who were unable to pay their
rents. Eviction was threatened, and Father
Fahey went to save them from being put into
the roadway. Mr.. Lewis treated the priest
harshy and, as the latter left, he said to Mr..
Lewis: lyon are hardhearted toward Gods
poor May you repent it," Lewis at once had
the priest arrested and charged him with threat
ening his life-even going SO far as to declare
that Father Fahey said he would have him muir

to give bail for good behavior 60 to Jail. He
refused to furnish bail, for the good reason that
it would be regarded as an admission that the
charge against him was true. He according

Substantially as Presented.


Substantially Presented.
Boston. Dec. 20-E. A. Perry cables from
London to the Herald this morning. as follows:
1.-THE action of the committee of the German
Reichstag in postponing the second reading of
the army bill is by no means equivalent to a re-
lection of Prince Bismarcks proposal for an in
crease of Al, 600 men. The postponement was
only carried by narrow majority, obtained
through coalition of elements so discordant
that they cannot be expected to hold together
against the urgency of the government the
unanimous opinion of the military authorities,
and the rising tide of public opinion. The Emper-
or. the Chancellor and Father Moltke are firm in
insisting that the full measure must
be granted. They are an obstinate and
very influential trio and in such
issue their joint conclusion has great in
fuence with the nation at large. No doubt Ger
many is burdened, as regards her industrial and
commercial interests, by the weight of her
harness, but in view of the military preparations
on both her eastern and western frontier, she
recognizes that her armor is the sole guarantee
of her security, and that whatever the cost, it
must be kept in efficient condition. 1t is safe
to concede that the opposition of bare majority
of the committee will not be permitted to stand
in the way of the reconstruction of the army. on
adequate lines, and that the bill will be passed
perhaps with some trivial concession but sub
stantially IN the form demanded by the Minister
of War"
