A yExArIOUs ACCIDENT.
How a Republican Scattered Truth by
Mistake.

Mistake.
WAsHrNGToN, August "A wealthy
Republican Congressman from Pennsyi.
vania, who always devotes q portion OF
his income to campaign purposes 10
Presidential years, is just now engaged
upon the investigation OF an incident
which has already caused him untold an
noyance, and bids fair to embarrass
hin, still further. A few weeks ago he
rented an Office on New York avenue,
where he established .orce OF clerks,
whom he deputized to frank immense
quantities of protection speeches
througout Pennsylvania as campaign
documents. In order to supply these
speeches he addressed letter to the
Public Printer, inclosing large check
with an order for several hundred th0us-
and copies of the speech Of Mr.. Mckin-
leg of Ohio--a strong protection argu-
ment in line with the Republican policy
The member referred to writes an
execrable hand, but the officials who
read the letter believed they had sue
ceeded in making out the name of the
member who had delivered the speech
The speech WAS accordingly supplied,
and for several days the clerks worked
industriously, sending of great patches
TO the Pennsylvania constituents.
A day or two ago they began coming
back. accompanied by indignant letters
demanding to know why the recipients
should be flooded with free trade litera'
ture' by their own representative In
Congress. The member fastened to bis
Office, tore off dozen wrappers and dis
covered to his dismay that he had sent of
nearly 100000 copies OF the speech of Mr.
McMillin of Tennessee, the Democratic
member of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. In the hieroglyphics Of his hand
writing mckinley" had been read NC
Millin" and the speech furnished accord
ingly. The force of clerks is now en-
gagged in mailing circular letter Of apol
ogy, and it is understood that the prctec.
tionists in the State have lost several
adherents owing to the convincing tariff
reform arguments of Mr. McMillin.

evidence upon which Parnell is being
publicly indicted by the British Govern
ment, Mr.. Eagan replied: 81 don't know
that have any idea that | could give
YOU. | have already denounced the
letters that were published in the ODon-
nell trial as forgeries."
Don't you think, from what you have
read, that the Times, or the Government,
has other evidence that we know nothing
Off"
mo; they cannot possibly have any
evidence. They probably think they
have, but whatever they have is manu-
featured and of the same character"
do you think Parnell regards the
commissions investigation as very
serious matter? ?"
Certainly" replied Mr.. Egan. Every
one must regard it so, because if the
Government could snatch verdict from
tnat commission it would be a terrible
damage to the league. Parnell stated
last night that if the scope of the com
mission was extended and it was empow
cred TO investigate the case of Mr.
Chamberlain while a member OF th'
Cabinet, he could prove that he was
traitor. know that during the whole
time Chamberlain WAS communicating
Cabinet secrets to the Irish party"
