been sentenced to six weeks each at hard
labor for acting as President and Secretary,
respectively, of a proclaimed national
league meeting at Tarbert in November
last John Edward Redmond, member of
Parliament, defended the prisoners.
In refutation of Mr. Davitts assertion
that no responsible Nationalist had proposed
to place protective duties on fax or other
Irish imports, the Belfast Northern Wing
publishes a letter quoting a speech made by
Mr.. Parnell at Wicklow on Oct. ;, 1885, in
which no claimed that an Irish Parliament
should be empowered to protect Irish in
dustries. The writer further says that the
Belfast NelOS, Nationalist newspaper, in
an article published on Jan. 5, 1885, advised
the Nationalists to destroy the Irish linen
trade. Therefore, the writer concludes, the
Belfast manufacturers are not scared by a

He was Shorn of So 10.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Jan. 25.-A man
giving the name of Joseph l.. PelI, and stat
ing that he was lumber and -four merchant
of Bethel, N. c., called at the central police
station this morning and informed Chief of

duped out of S210 by a confidence man.
Peel said that few weeksago he received
letter at his home from a man in New
York, named J. H. Ward, who gave his ad-
dress as $50 Mulberry street, care of a
barber. Ward informed Peel that he had
lot of Creenbacks which had been printed
from stolen government plates and which
he would sell to Peel at liberal discount.
FELL TO THE TRAP.
Correspondence followed, and Ward in
formed the Bethel merchant that he would
meet him at the Pennsylvania railroad sta
tion in Philadelphia. Peel placed 500 in
his pocket with which to purchase the
goods and left home for Philadelphia.
On Sunday the cid familiar confidence
game was played upon him by an
affable stranger from Marlborough, N. c.,
who knew all about Peel, and was glad to
meet him so far from home, took him TO
dinner at his hotel, found himself unaccount-
ably short Of ready cash, and would Mr..
Peel oblige him till the banks opened in
the morning. Peel Obliged him with $2l0.
The next morning he began to think some
thing had gone wrong and told his story to
the police, and left for home with the re-
mainder of his money. Peel professed to
have no suspicion that the money he pro-
posed to purchase might be counterfeit.

WASHINGTON, Jan 25.-The fisheries con-

this week. 1t sits continuously from , to 5
o'clock. 1t is believed to be nearing the
conclusion of its labors. The outcome is,
of course, in doubt, but well informed per-
sons still believe thai it will be a treaty sub
hitting the principal disputed questions to
arbitration. The Canadians have been urg
ing delay on the part of the British com
missioners, in order to see whether Congress,
or at least the House, would not pass a tariff
bill putting fish on the free list. Now that it is
quite apparent to the commissioners that no
such provision will be IN any bill that may
pass the House this winter they have no
good reason for further delay.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The Secretary of

House a communication from the Light
House Board urging the establishment of
light at or near the outer shoal off Cape
HatteraS. The chairman of the board says
that the need of a powerful light and
fog signal at this locality has been
long felt, and its establishment
has been urged by underwriters. pilots and
other persons interested. AS a light ship
cannot be stationed at the skoal without
great danger of the loss of the crew, the
board has concluded that lighthouse
should be erected there. Although the en-
gineering obstacles in the way of building
safe and firm structure upon a shifting sand
bank seven and one-half miles off the coast
are very great, it is believed to be practi-
cable and necessary in view of its import
ance TO commerce.
