NEW YORK, May 7th.-The Senate Committee
investigating the working of the interstate com.
merce law resumed their labors this morning.
Chsuncey NJ. Depew, of the New York Cen1rs1
was the first witness. He gave his 6pinion on
the working of the interstate law. and TO the
question as to what amendment he could sug-

American roads do. At present it was very easy

considered good thing, and should have been

could affect this tendency. The interstate com

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE REcoRp-uN1oN.
He TOLD THE TRUTH.
Psrnen Says None but Traitor Would
Advocate the Use of DYNAMITE.

LONDON, May 7th.-Parnen to-day corrected
his testimony of Friday, in which he admitts d
that he had misled the House OF Commons in
regard to conspiracies in Ireland. By reference
to a.verbatim report of the debate he found that
he had said that ribbonism had ceased, which
was substantially correct.
Parnell said he had not heard of the 100
guineas being paid for the defense of the Moon
lighters at the Cork AsSizes in 1851. If he had
been asked to make such payments he should
in those days have approved of them, if he
had reason to believe the law was being strained
against the man, but his general rule was TO
limit such payments as much as possible. He
sometimes paid money from his own private
account in behalf of the League. He did not
object to an inspection of his accounts Parnell
declared he had never heard that Egan had
1olned the Clan Na-Gael- He would regret to
Tina that Egsn had rejoined the physical force
party, but should not think such a course un-
natural.
Recurring to secret societies, Parnell said he
considered that the person who joined the
League and continued TO be ? member of the
Clan-Na- Gael acted to the injury of the League
policy. Any member of the League who would
advocate the use of dynamite would be a
traitor
