ais.
Mr.. Chamberlain said he desired TO offer a
personal explanation. Mr.. Parnen had made
certain vague and shadowy accusations against
him, referring to he knew not what, and had
threatened to bring the accusations before the

minister, he had constantly melted the Par
nellites to do what he was afraid to do him
self. Mr.. PaInell had further accused him
of betraying secrets of the cabinet between
