to remember. 1t Is learned that Rice
received letter from Windsor q short
time ago signed Ralph Hannah. The writer
said he understood Rice wanted to buy some
horses, and that he had some to sell. The re-
suit OF the correspondence was that Rice said

LONDON, Nov. 29.-In the person Of Police
Inspector Crane the Times to-day had wit
ness after its own heart. Crane. although an
Englishman was placed in tho most troubous
times in supreme command Of one OF the most
disturbed districts of Kerry. He had lots to
tell about the outrages. which he attributed.
with an emphasis comforting to the sorely
tried Attorney General, to the direct action Of
the Land League. In Cranes eyes the League
was evidently the incarnation Of everything
bad. He would not allow It the merit oven OF
having brought about legislation for the bene-
flt OF tenants. a fact which few OF its enemies
have heretofore denied.
1t Is doubtful. nevertheless, whether Cranes
evidence will prove OF much value to his en-
ployers. His anti-Nationaiist gall was poured
forth too freely. and the mans demeanor had
too much OF the grand Bashaw about it to be
pleasing to those inexperienced In the ways OF
the Irish police autocrats Inspector Crane
evidently has profound contempt for juries.
which is not to be wondered at, for they don't
work with such automatic precision as Govern
ment-paid magistrates, and he Is OF tho opinion
that the Kerry peasantry get quito as much
food as is good for them. To judge Inspector
Crano by his evidence to-day the Irish land
lords can do no wrong. But then. as he took
care to let us know, he Ia welcome guest at
the houses Of the great, and has the felicity OF
numbering some live Lords among his per-
sonal friends.
The Attorney. General announced to-day that
he would call no more victims Of outrages from
Kerry. whereupon there was q deep sigh Of re-
lief. which swept through the stuffy court like
refreshing breeze.
