WEBSTER'S WEAKNESS
SURPRISES EVEN THB THUNDBRRR'S
ENEMIES.
His Opening Of the Case Continues Dull and Difuss-
II is Beyond His Powers 10 Aaksa

Foreign News.

LONDON, Octobar 24.-When the Par.
nell Commission resumed it's sitting to.
day Sir Charles Russell, counsel for Mr..
Parrell, dems nded the production of Ger.
tain letters which the Times possessed and
which were alleged to have been written
by Mr.. Dillon, Mr.. Biggar and other mem
bers of Parliament. He said that Mr..
Soames, the Times solicitor, had filed an
affidavit affirming that the Times had re-
caiyed the documents from an American
named Roberts; that scme of them proved
TO be bogus, and on this account they had
not been used in the O'Donnell case. This
admission that somebody was Supplying
the Times with forged letters, taid Sir
Charles, had q direct bearing upon the
Parnell. Egsn forgsries. The documents
must therefore be produced.
Attorney General Webster held that
the documents demanded were not mater.
isl to the is.us. The affidavit of Soames
showed clearly that somebody had been
trying to trick the Times, and knowledge
of the trick had been communicated to Mr..
Parnell's solicitor. The Court ordered
that the documents BIT produced. Sir
Charles Russell then asked for particulars
of the charges against Mr.. Psrneil and
thoe involved with him. Mr.. Michael
Davitt claimed the right to appear for him
self. The Court assented.
Justice Hannep, the President Of the
Commission, was of opinion that all the
particulars were being given which were
required.
The Attorney General informe ] the Court
that the other side still continued to dis
obey the order for the production ofths
Leagues bank books. Justice Hannen in
timated that If the refusal to produces the
books was final, the Court would have re.
course to its powers to compel their pro-
duction.
Attorney General Webster then con.
tinued the presentation Of the Times case,
making further review Of the articles on
'Parnellism and Crime" He declared
that evidence wop Id be adduced proving
that Mr.. Parnell knew that Patrick Eyan
hsd supplied Sheridan and Boyton with
funds to enable them to promote outrages.
In his sreech the Attorney General
quoted fIom letter of Patrick ESan, in
which the writer sent ESQ for the payment
of men who had committed outrsges, and
said that evidence would be adduced to
prove that Mr.. Psrnell knew that Egan
had supplied Sheridan and Royton with
funds to enable them to promote out
RACES.
4 general impression is growing that
the Times case is weaker than even Its
enemies imagined, ard that the task con
fided to the Attorney General is beyond

the Browns.
ST.. LOUIS, October 24.-Tte Browns
pulled themfelves together to-day and won
q victory from the New York's in the
worlds championship series. Timely bat-
ting by Milligan and White and missed
grounder by Slsttery gave the Browns four
runs in the eighth inning and the game.
For the first time in the series the Browns
showed their old-time skill in base
running, and to their success in
taking every cbancs while on the
bases is largely due their victory.
Though King was hit hard at times,
te pitched effectively at critical periods OF
the game, and wss splendidly supported
by big Jack Mllligan. Crane was wild at
times, and q red.het foul tip knocked
Catcher Brown out in the eighth inning,
splitting bis finger badly. Murphy took
his place. Roger Conner strained the ter
don of his right leg and retired, "Buck"
Ewing going to first. The last inning was
played as darkness approached, and though
the Giants rssorted to various dodges to
delay the game, the Browns Gutwitted
them. Fully 1000 people were in attend
ance and the game was exciting and inter

the Republican p ,rty for the Presidency OF

all the hatred Of ths I:ish race which his
Cvonwelisn ancestor so brutally dis

delivered at Dnrley Hall, Bloomington,
Ill Bepjsmin Harrison said: "If it were
not for the Irisb, we should not need hall
our psnitsntiaries, which are nearly full
of them. They have no intelligence; they
ara only good to shovel dirt and gesd'

We claim that man OF such infamou
