Latest ON the French Cabinet.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-In the Parnell trial
Mr.. Houston said that Pigott told him
to whom several of the letters were adj
dressed. He did not regard Pigott's
statements as very accurate, because he
only repeated what other persons had
said. He understood that Pigott got the
second batch of letter from the same
friends that supplied the first. Pigott
wrote the witness that he had been
forced, in Mr.. Soames' office, into max
ing q statement under false pretenses.
The notes of Pigott's conversation with
Eugene Davis were then read. In these
notes it appeared that Egan told Davis
that in Paris, in 1881, Parnell, O'Kelly
Dillon, Bronson, and Harris had agreed
that England's power could be neutral
lied only by the removal of her leading
men. After Mr.. Parnell's arrest Egan
urged the Fenians to activity. Egan
was invariably consulted as to projected
murders Tinan said, in Paris, that it
was he who gave the signal for the
Phenix Park murders. Egan said his
only regret was that they had not begun
work earlier. There was y plot to muir
der the Prince of Wales an Mr.. Glad
stone at the carnival of Cannes, but it
was not carried out.
Mr.. Houston's testimony being con-
cluded, Mr.. Pigott entered the box. He
vas conspicuously well-dressed, and had
the appearance of a benevolent old gem
tleman of about go years. He testified
he was a member of the Supreme Coun-
Gil of the Fenian Brotherhood, and had
belonged to the Irish Republican Broth
erhood until 1881. Mr.. Parnell was a
member of the Supreme Council of the
Irish Republicans Brotherhood. The
Irish and The Flag of iceland were sold
in 1879 to a company in which Parnell
and Egan We're shareholders. The
League undoubtedly provided the money
to boycott papers. Later Egan said he
proposed to render the lives Of the Eng
fish officials not worth an hours pur-
chase. Of course, Pigott remarked,
Mr.. Parnell was aware of the proposal.
