MIR. Adkinson's Reply to His Wife's
Petition for Divorce.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 23-TSpecial Telegram
to THE BEE. Some weeks ago Mrs. Flor
ence Atkinson, the well known equal suf-
fragist, filed suit against her husband, an
attorney of this city, for divorce. He has
filed reply, which constitutes one of the
most peculiar documents ever submitted by
defendant. He says in part; ~ was thrown
upon my own resources at an early age and,
becoming acquainted with my wife, who was
older and more experienced in the ways of
the world than l. she ensnared me into mar
riage 1t was an unreasonable,
unnatural, unnhilosophical, unhappy and an
illstarred marriage, She thought women
should not keep house, cook, wash, sew or
mend; they should be doctors, lawyers, pol
iticians, electors, congressman, sheriffs,
peace justices, and sit on iuries. Accordingly
she refused to cook; in fact, practiced what
she preached; followed me disguised in wigs
and male attire, and frequently interrupted
me when was making speeches. He then
records numerous instances OF ill-treatment,
saying that she wanted hlm TO have his life
insured, and then die, so she might get the
benefit OF the insurance; that she drove him
away from home on different occasions. In
conclusion, he says the divorce suit brought
by her is a conspiracy to rob him; that she
is already boasting how she is going 10 carry
the case by storm by tragic pleading. :

The Parneal Commission.

LONDON, Oct 23.-Oa the reassembling OF
the Parnell commission to-day the attorney
general continued with the presentation of
the Times case. He said Parnelns support
ers had been trying to exhibit him as one
who stood aloof from anti-rent and plan of
campaign agtators but the fact was as far
back as 1880 Parnell had led the anti-rent
movement, and in speech in County Kerry
in that year he had told his hearers that the
land league had plenty of money to defend
those tenant farmers who refused to pay
their rent. He referred to the Barryclough
meeting in 1881 and said at that time Parnell
and his colleagues did not conceal their sym
pathy with the leaguers' emissaries in crime.
The attorney general reviewed the history
of the league and quoted from the alleged
Parnell letters which appeared in the Times.
He said that before the case was over all the
circumstances under which the Times
became possessed of the letters would be
explained, and the names of the persons from
whom they were obtained would be made
known. He declared that before the letters
were published they were compared with
other of Parnell's writings, and it was
agreed that they were undoubtedly speci-
mems of his penmanshp

The Won Bergman Interview.

LONDON, Oct. 23.-[New York Herald
Cabe-Special to The BEE. THE Daily
Chronicle says 1.-The Paris New York Her
aid of yesterday contains the original text
and translation Of a statement made by Prof.
Won Bergman admitting the authenticity of
the communication made by him October 13
to the Berlin correspondent of the above
named newspaper with reference to Sir Nor
rell Mackenze's book on Wednesday last.
Our correspondent telegraphed that it was
something more than inferred in the German
capital that the interview as it appeared in
the Herald was an invention. Prof. Won
Bergmann's statement, which, moreover, is
witnessed by Mr.. Coleman, secretary Of the
American legation in Berlin, will probably
convince those who doubted the veraclty of
the report of the groundlessness of their sus-
