Members Of the ladies' land league who
have been indicted are Miss Anna Parnell,
Mrs. Maloney, treasurer OF the league, Mrs.
Moore, orator and now journalist in Amer
lea, Miss Hannah Reynolds, who was con
fined in Cork jail and Tullamore prison, and
Miss Hannah O'Brien, who edited United
Ireland.
All Of the Parnellites implicated by the
charges Of tho Times and all the witnesses
summoned by both sides for the opening are
in London.
Among the witnesses Is Chief of Police
Superintendent Mallon, of Dublin, whose
evidence promises 10 be of a startling char
acter. Mallon has watched the inner work
ngs of Fenianism since 1857, having been
assisted in his work by informers who have
abundantly supplied him with details.
James Carey, the informer, who was
killed at the Cape of Good Hope, was COM
missioned to assassinate Mallon at the time
of the Phoenix park murders Much of the
furnished by Carey.
Attorney General Webster opened the case
for the Times He promised to give the
court the fullest Information in the Times
power regarding the source OF the evidence
against the Irish party, which the Times had
published. He would not treat the case as
having anything TO do with the merits or
dement's of Home Rule or OF any supposed
burning Irish question
The inquiry was strictly into the specific
char ess made in the O'Donnell action against
the Times, and he would be careful not to
introduce questions beyond the charges.
The attorney general then proceeded to re-
view the Times article on "Parnellism and
Crlme,n going over the old grounds.
The court room was well filed. but was
not overcrowded Perfect order prevailed.
The general public was not admitted Mr..
Parnell and numerous other Nationalist
members Of parliament were present.
Decision of the Spanish Ministry.
LONDON, Oct %. The decision of the
Spanish ministry to convoke the cortes
within the next three weeks for the purpose
OF placating the populace by proposing re-
forms in the army is hailed with delight in
Madrid and welcomed as a relief in the prov
inces. The Zorilllsts have been especially
active of late on the frontiers, and a
large amount OF money has been spent by
them In propagating their belief in the
restdratlon of the pseudo republic, which
marSAd one OF the periods of decline which
Spain has in modern years sustained.
In evinence Of the satisfaction felt by the
populace OF the Spanish capital at the de-
r;atoY. th m ahinaf to dafaf. tn tho dam
of the people, 1t may be cited that the dis
order which for several days has prevailed
has almost entirely subsidized, and the efforts
|of the gendarmes Co preserve order are no
longer necessary. However, peace is not so
absolutely restored as to warrant the author
titles in assuming that they may thwart the
win of the people by policy of neglect, or
OF oppression, and it is imperativeiy neces.
sary to a peaceful solution Of the difficulties
that the official promises be fulfilled
The ablest detectives of the kingdom are
now engaged in shadowing Don Carlos just
as they have been for some years engaged in
observing the movements of Ruiz Gorilla
and, while neither Of those leaders may ever
ascend the throne or the presidential chair of
Spain, both are powerful factors in foment-
ing the disorder which may at any time

plunge the country into a state Of Anarchy
which may compel the greater European
powers 10 interfere 30 preserve the general
peace.
The queen regent although q woman OF
great force of character, yet of sweet dispo-
sition, is in minority OF popular favoritism
She has constructvely the backing of Aus
tria in any endeavor to preserve the throne
to her son, the infant king, but in the preca-
rious circumstances hedging the dual mon,

Immediately, and should ne do so he will no
doubt inspire popular belief that Spain's
sovereign has his sympathy even TO the OK
tent of armed assistance, whether this be
true or not.
Certainly the German kaiser is in a better
.condition to extend all to n lettering con

which is believed by many to be undertaken

whose magnificent entertainment of thu
