SYDNEY, N. 8. W., May 9.-Dr. Knappe,
late German consul to Samoa, has arrived

45O men belonging to the wrecked Ameri-

THE PARNELL INQUEST.

Archbishop Walsh Continues His Testi-
mony-His Opinion of Boycotting.
LONDON, May g. 9.-Archbishop Walsh con-
tinued his testimony before the Parnell
commission. He testified that the facts
that came to his knowledge proved that
the league had tended to diminish crime.
There had been a gradual decadence IL,
secret societies in Ireland since 1866.
He was aware the league had advised
tenants not to enter the land court after
the passage of the act establishing that
court in 1881. Subsequent events justified
that advice. He only knew OF one instance
where the league had been indiscreet. This
indiscretion consisted in the passage OF q
resolution by branch of the league to
publish in it's district list OF persons not
members OF the league. he protested

against this action and the publication oi
the list was thereupon abandoned as the
league spread
SECRET soc1ErIEs VANISHED.
People learned to prefer open parliamentary
action and to dislike society.
Throughout his diocese cases OF boy
cotting had been few, although the league
was strong in that district The only sense
in which boy ycotting ought to be tolerated
came under the name Of exclusive dealing
Anything like intimidation was reprehensi.
ble. The members OF the league held that
boycotting kept the country free from out
RACES. Witness did not approve OF refusing
to sell the necessarys of life to a man un-
der boycott.
He understood the plan of campaign to
be purely voluntary combination that
did not employ boycotting.
Atkinson, counsel fer the "Times," here
quoted from pastoral issued by the
Archbishop in 1888, denouncing the move
ment not to pay debts as iorcible resist
ance to law.
Archbishop Walsh said pastoral has
been issued in consequence of the increase
in the number OF secret societies, owing to
the disorganization OF the league under the
Of it's leaders and while peo.
pie were driven to despair by evictions.

WHERE rs DIR. CRONIN?
Belief that He has Been Assassinated by
Individuals in a Private Matter.

Belief that He has Been Assassinated by
individuals in a Private Matter.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, May S.-A dispatch from
New York says the Irish nationalists there
appear convinced that DIR. Cronin was as.
sassinated in Chicago.
In a general way, without giving the
source OF information, it was stated at a
meeting OF the organization in Chicago to
vindicate Alex. Sullivan against the charges
by Cronin, resolution was offered, prac-
tically sentencing Cronin and Others to
death, and it was defeated. The fact be.
came known, and friend Of Cronin's ad.
vised recourse to the courts, but, found il
useless, and none who knew the facts dared
testify.
The story goes on to state that Gro
Minis attacks on Sullivan in the "Celto
American" charging him with getting
LIE Caron into the membership OF the Ciar
Ma Gael, widened the breach, and may have
prompted some foolhardy friend OF Sull
vans to commit murder.
John Dewey, Michael Breslin and Others
sent a dispatch to friends OF Cronin's II
Chicago, yesterday, offering to raise money
to hunt down the assassins oil Cronln. Dr
VIM. Wallace, particular friend OF Cronin
believes him to have been murdered by tht
individuals, who blame him as medica
practitioner for the death OF some deal
friend, whom he had treated, and not tt
political murder at all.

MORE TAxArIos PROPOSED.

A Proposal to Tax Canadian-bui1t Cars
used in Transporting Merchandise.
WASHINGTON, May S.-Secretary Window
to-day gave hearing to persons interested
in q question of the dutiab.e character of
Canadian-built cars used in the transporta-
tion of merchandise between Canadian and
United States points.
A number OF gentlemen representing
American roads we're present and spoke in
opposition to the proposed imposition of
duty on the cars in question.
They represented that these cars have
been admitted free Of duty for the past
twenty years, and any change in the prac-
tice would result in great damage to the
parties interested, and loss by exaction of
duty on these cars would amount to many
thousand of dollars.

RsIerringto some letters Of his, Parnell

Attorney. General Webster, referring to
Aha examination OF the
PRIVATE BANK ACCOUNT,
vsDted to trace the number OF checks and
varm discussion ensued, Sir Charles &c.
caring that such action would be unfair.
Justics Hannah suggested postponement
a JDouiry into this matter until further
Sornmepts were before the court.
i Archbishop took the stand. He testified
NAT he came to the conclusion, before 1879,
Hal there was need OF defensive land or
canzatiou, and was proceeding to give his
Snnion Of the necessity for such an Or
sanitation when Justice Hannon inter-
Sosed saying the inquiry must be limited
n whether or not the Land League was
necessary.
Biggar urged that in his opinion, evidence
4 bsd been given over and over again by the
Fbirelugs OF the government"
Justics Hannon warned Bigger that he
&must not make use OF such expressions.
Bigger then said that unless such evil
hence was admitted, the whole inquiry
would end in farce.
Archbishop continuing, said that in the
course Of his visits through his diocese he
had ample means OF knowing that the
ssgue denounced outrages. Many priests
bad oined the League with his approval.

A Washington Territory Woman Made In
sane by a Trip to the East.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, May GA week or
more ago Mrs. Charles Simmonson, Of
Washington Territory, started to visit
friends in New York city in company with
her little girl of five years. She was appar.
emily in good health, but the excitement
OF the journey seemed to wear upon her,
as she was evidently unused to travel.
The constant travel and loss OF rest so
affected her that when still some distance
west OF Buffalo, she became violently in
sane. She was affected by dread that some
one was going to kill her. With great diff
Guilty the conductor prevented her from
jumping from the train with the child in her
arms. When the train reached here she
was taken to an insane asylum with the
child. The mental condition OF the latter
causes some apprehension.
Mrs. Simmonson's husband is promi-
nent lumber dealer of Washington Terri

The Cheyennes are in sympathy with the

the presence OF a large body of troops.
The Crow outbreak of last summer had
