THE FAR EAST.

Joseph Nolan. nationalist member OF
parliament, was examined recently before
the committee on admission Of strangers to
parliament He admitted he introduced in
parliament two ladies by the name of Mil
len, but he said he did not know they were
the daughters Of u rcputed dynamiter. He
had conversed with Millen on the tuation
in Ireland. and Millen did not give him the
impression Of being connected in any way
with politics or with dynamite plots, or
anything of that Sort He had no previous
knowledge OF him. Chief Detective Munroe
deposed Mat Millen. when he sent his
daughters to London. directing that only
Nolan should escort them about. Nolan
called three times at the house of Kitty
Miilen. and on one occasion remained two
hours. He took her to the house Of COM
mons and afterwards escorted her sister
Florence there. He also accompanied DO h
OF the sisters about the city. The witness
said he got his information from members
OF tina family with which Kitty Millen
stayed. II he got a chance to capture Mil
len he would prove the lAtter's connection
with the fenian raid OF 1877 After Munroe
had concluded his testimony the committee
drafted report to the house in which they
avoided censuring Nolan.

Under the EDUCATIONAL law passed by the

schools will hereafter be elected in June at
the same time as the other township
officers. This law also provides that cities
shall have no voice in the selection. The
election occurs this year on June 10, and
yet at this early dae Stutsman county has
four publicly announced candidates for
the Office and five others who would not
object to the place. A free-for-all scram-

Extensive and destructive forest fires
have been raging for some time in the
Black Hills, but as the scene of destruc-
ton is some distance from telegraphic
communication, but meagre reports can
be secured as to the amount Of damage
done. It's known, however, that the fires
have swept over large area of valuable
timber land, and unless rain soon comes it
is feared that the end is not yet.
