The Vatican - Condensed
Cablegrams.

OF the Times, including even those whic
the Times solicitor thought spurious
sh ould be disclosed in order to assist il
the search for The truth. Sir Charlie
Russell, counsel for the Parnellites, state
that he had received several Threatening
letters. Justice Hannen remarked tina
he also, and probably others engaged il
the case, had received similar letters
The intimidation of witnesses, he said
was so certain that precaution must b.
taken not to allow a premature disclos
ure of their names.
The taking of evidence relative to the
outrages was then proceeded with. James
Mannion declared himself Fenlan anG
member of the National League. He
had taken part in several outrages and
on moonlight expeditions. He knew nc
moonlighter who was not also a member
of the League.
Peter FlaheYty, farmer of Galway,
testified that he was a moonlighter and
not ashamed to acknowledge it. He was
perfectly ready to act with the moon
lighters again.
Edward Flanagan said he had been
in America since 1879. He had been
present at numerous league meetings at
Pittsburg and New York, at which
Stephen j. Meany had presided. He
said Meany collected funds for the pur-
pose OF buying firearms for use in Ire
land. The court adjourned.
A DOUBLE DISASTER.
Considerable wreckage and number
of bodies were washed ashore between
Looe and Polperro in Cornwall during
the last day or two. One body has been
identified as that of Captain E. Meyer,
af the, German ship Theodore Ruger.
Articles which came ashore has also been
recognized as belonging both to that YES
sci, with which the Theodore Ruger came
in collision, SO miles off the Lizard.
There is now no doubt of the total loss
OF both vessels with most of the crew of
the Nantes and part OF the German ships
crew. The survivors who landed at
Trouville include sixteen of the Theodore
Ringers and two of the Nantes crew. 1t
is believed all the others went down with
the vessels.
Another survivor from the Nantes has
landed at Liverpool, and reports that
twenty-three of the crew OF the Nantes
were drowned.
Later-It is now learned that the COL
lision between the Nantes and Theodore
Ruger resulted in the drowning of twenty
five of The steamers crew, and the crew
OF twelve of the German vessel.
FIsHED OUT OF THE THAMES.
The body of well-dressed woman was
taken out OF the Thames this morning.
There are marks on the body which give
rise to the suspicion that the woman has
been murdered, but it is possible she
committed suicide, and that the marks
were received by contact with objects in
the water. Police searches in the usual
wards of the various police stations were
made in the hope of getting clue to the
murderer, but were unsuccessful. They
arrested one man who had bowie knife
il his possession, but there is no reason
to believe that he was instrumental in
the woman's death. He will probably
be discharged.
CoURTING THE FRIENDSHIP OF THE POPE.
PARIS, November 13.-In the Deputies
to-day motion to abolish the embassy
10 the Vatican was rejected. M. Goblet
in speech said: "Ihe importance of
our protectorate in eastern countries re-
quires the maintenance of friendly rela-
tions with the Vatican. Rival powers
dispute our protectorate. The friendship
of the Pope is therefore precious. The
Pope already has his bitternesses. Is it
for us to increase them? 1t has been
said recently that the Pope could no
longer count upon any country but
France. That does not mean that France
will intervene to restore his temporal
power, but the more the Pope is deprived
Of that power, the more France ought to
honor him by curtailing nothing of her
respect for the high authority he repre-
sents." [Applause.l The foreign budget
was finally approved.

way Of the Pacific Ocean. This is un-
derstood to mean a strong move toward
an imperial federation, with a strong
suggestion OF retaliation against the
United States by establishing free trade
between Great Britain and her depend
encies, to the exclusion of other coun-
tries.
