Two Great Surprises.
The Release of Dillon and
 Arrest of O'Kelly.
LATEST MOVES OF THE TORIES.

MT. Dillon's Imprisonment Rendered
 Illegal by Technicality-Mr. Healy's
 Motion-Mr. O'Keuy Charged with In-
 citing to Intimidation and Boycotting.
 LONDON, July 26.-!The order of Chief Baron Palles, of the exchequer division of the Irish court of justice, releasing Mir. John Dillon from Dundalt jail, created q genuine sensation. The order, to be sure, Is condl- tional, but it was granted upon point of common law which is deemed worthy of discussion even by legal authorities polite ally interested, not only ill keeping Mir. Dill lon in jail, but in consigning thereto every
 one of his colleagues, followers or sympa-
 thizers, and therefore a source of gratitica-
 tion to the Parnellite party aside from its efficacy in setting at liberty its most promi-
 nent leader. next to Mir. Parnell.
 MT. T. NJ. Healy, upon whose application
 the order was granted, seeks to quash the in-
 dictment against Mr Dillon, thereby nulli-
 flying the whole of the proceedings against
 that gentleman, by advancing the claim that
 a certain form of blank, certifying the com
 mitment of the prisoner, which should have
 been filled and forwarded at the time of his
 being found guilty, has not yet reached the judge, whose signature should be appended
 thereto Upon this ground, coupled with the fact that Judge Pallas' order denies the jurisdiction of the county judge before whom Mr. Dillons case was argued for a rehearing, MT. Healy claims that his client has been illegally incarcerated. Moreover, it is
 held that in the absence of the certificate of conviction the court before which the re- hearing was had was without means of know ing what had occurred ill the conduct of the | case ill the court below, and in these circum- stances not Mir. Healy alone, but several Tory lawyers contend that the proceedings were rendered invalid.
 The arrest of MT. James J. Okelly, mem | Der for North Roscommon, was a complete | surprise to everybody. Mr. O'kelly left his | house at Il o'clock and proceeded to t" | Mark Lane Underground railway sta, | Before he could board a train he Wa l rested upon the authority of warrant ba on speech made by him on June 24, an, | hurried to Dublin to answer the charges | against him. MT. O'keiIy was for a number | of years connected with The New York l Herald, and beGame famous as the corre- | spondent of that journal during the Cuban l inSurrecLion.
 Returning to London, he became corre- | spondent of The London Daily News in | Egypt, sending from the very heart of the l Soudan some of the most brilliant descriptive
 letters published during that campaign. Mir. | OheIly has been general faVorlte during l his career as a member of parliament He | has made few speeches, and those he has | made have been remarkable for caution and l tact.
 | When questioned i'll the house of commons
 Mr. Wiillam Henry Smith professed to know
 nothing of Mir. O'kelly's arrest.
 DUBLIN, July 36.-Mr. O'kely was taken l to Boyle, where his otfense against the
 crimes act is alleged to have been committed.

AFFAIRS OF THE NATION.

Decision of the Interstate Commerce
 Commission Against a Railroad of In-
 terest to Shippers.
 WASHINGTON, July 2o.-The interstate commerce commission has decided the fol- lowing cases: John Henry Nicolai vs. the Pennsylvania Railroad company and others and J. Parkhurst, Jr., & Co. the same defendants. Opinion by Commissioner Nor risou. Compleinants do business as oil re- liners at Baltimore. It was complained that the railroad charged fifty cents per barrel for the transportation of the crude oil from Washington, Pa., to Baltimore, while from Bradford and Clarendon, Pa., and Clean, N. Y., to Baltimore, about the same distance as Washington, Pa., from Baltimore, the charge is but forty cents per barrel. It was shown that defendants by agreement operate as d through line and make joint rates, which govern through traffic. The commission de cides that a carrier, party to a through line, cannot free itself from the responsibility of excessive through rates by setting up the corporate existence of one of the railroads forming the through line as a separate car rier. It is held also that the apportionmeut of rates to different parts of through line does not determine the charge to the public, but may have significance on the question oi reasonable rates for the whole distance. Tho railroads are ordered not to charge more than forty cents per barrel on cruoe oil from Washington, Pa, to Baltimore.
